Mrs. Mann charges Wimbish with having committed a bigamous marriage with her daughter. Wimbish eloped with Miss Mann last December. Since then a vain, country-wide search has been made by relatives of the girl. Not until Wimbish reappeare'd in Atlanta were the police called. Then Wimbish was arrested and confronted by Mrs. Mann, who demanded the where abouts of her daughter. Wimbish re fused to tell, but seated he knew where she was and would bring her to Atlanta as soon as he could dis entangle himself from the meshes of the law. Wimbish Denies Bigamy Charge. While Wimbish denies he is married tn Miss Mann, that charge has been placed against him by Mrs. Mann, who avers he has a wife in Birming ham. It was because of that fact which she declares Wimbish admittecj to her last December, that she ob jected to his attentions to her daugh ter. * Wimbish Tuesday morning admitted again he had been married before he met Miss Mann. He. declared, though, he had been separated from his wife two years, and, while they had never been divorced to his knowledge, she had remarried. < “I love Ella,” said Wimbish, “and I’ll marry her as soon as I can de termine my marital status with my former wife.” “My former wife was Ola May Jones, of Atlanta. In 1909 I fell in love with her. Her parents objected to the marriage, so we eloped. Her folks had me arrested. Then 1 mar ried her and we left the city, but sep arated May 13. 1909. She went to Birmingham and married again, I hear. \\ hether she got a divorce or not I don't know. I was never served with any papers. Got in Trouble Again. "Later 1 got into trouble with an other girl and was again arrested. When released 4 came back to Atlanta and met Miss Mann. When I told Mrs. Mann I had a wife in Birming ham; that we had separated and 1 guessed were divorced by that time, #*he told me not to come about her rla lighter again. ‘‘To do this was impossible. I loved Ella and she loved me. We met se cretly and planned the elopement. 1 told her we would get married just as soon as I could find out how I stood with my wife; that I thought we were divorced. Arrested on Return. “Ella and I left Atlanta December 14. 1912. We traveled all around the State, but. did not go outside of til* Georgia boundaries. Later i decided to come back to Atlanta and see if I could .not get work to support us un til things could be straightened out. I had no sooner set -foot in this city than I was arrested.” Wimbish says Miss Mann is happy and living in a. nearby town, though not as his wife. According to G. N. Bullock, the policeman who took Wimbish into custody, the prisoner Ftated at first he had three wives. Wimbish denies this. BERRY SCHOOL CLOSES. ROME.—Berry School for Girls closed this week.

Start Them Off Right a'ith a Good Laxative and Then Watch Their Diet. Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their children, forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different per sons. Hence, avoid what seems to constipate the child or to give it indigestion, and urge it to take more of what is quickly digested. If the child shows a tendency to constipation it should immediately he given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic nr purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills, etc. What the child requires is simply a small dose of the gentlest of medi cines. such as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which in the opinion of thousands of watchful mothers is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things can happen to a constipated child that care i*> nec essary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness, and many' other an noyances that children should not have can usually be traced to con stipation. Many of America’s foremost fam ilies are never without Syrup Pep sin, because one can never tell when some member of the family i may need it, and all can use it. ! Thousands indorse it. among them 1 Mrs. M. E. Darling. R. F. D. No. 4. £ i si MARJORIE DARLING Belleview, Pa., who writes: "I cer tainly think Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup ; Pepsin saved my baby’s life. Mar- ! jorie is a bottle baby and could not ; get her food to digest, but I found I by giving her a small dose of Syrup ; Pepsin when she had colic it al ways cured her." Dr. Caldwell’s ; Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists at fifty cents and one dollar a hot- ; tie, the latter size being bought by those who already know its value, ! and it contains proportionately more. Results are always guaran teed or money will be refunded. Everyone likes Syrup Pepsin, as it is very pleasant to the taste. It is also mild and non-griping and free from injurious ingredients.
