Grief of Forgiveness Displayed
When Effie McCalmon Meets
Parent and Brother.
The grief of forgiveness was pa
thetically displayed in Chief of Po
lice Beavers’ office Tuesday morning
when Effie McCalmon, the country
girl from near Carrollton, arrested
Monday with Dr. M. W. Lewis, a
prominent physician of that town,
in a raid on the Scoville Hotel, met
her father and brother, and begged to
be taken home.
The girl’s pathetic plight was more
than the irate father and brother
could ensure. Simultaneously they
clasped her in their arms. Then she
was taken by them in an automobile
to the station. The trio departed at
11 o’clock for home.
J. M. McCalmon, father of the girl,
a prominent planter, and his son
Emory, ticket agent at Bowden Junc
tion. both told Chief Beavers they
would return when the physician's
case comes up to prosecute I^ewis to
the full extent of the law. They also
declared they would bring the girl
back to Atlanta and let her tell her
story to the court.
“This man has cast shame on my
home which can never be forgotten,”
declared the father. “He has blighted
my daughter’s future. Restitution by
punishment of the law Is a poor sub
stitute. but I will have it.”
Lewis was released Monday night,
after he had secured the $1,000 bond
under which he was bound over by
Judge Broyles during the afternoon.
Immediately afterward he disappear
ed.
Lewis and the girl were registered
at the hotel as man and wife.

Mississippi Tries to
Break Rail Merger

Suits are prepared for filing to-day
against the Illinois Central and Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley Railroads, de
manding penalties of nearly $50,000,-
000 and a dissolution of an alleged

laws, charged by Attorney General
Ross A. Collins, were given as reasons
for ousting the Illinois Central from
the State, and taking the charter
from the Yazoo and Mississippi Val
ley.
Electric Vote Device
Planned for House
WASHINGTON, July 22.—The House
Rules Committee to-day began an in
vestigation of the feasibility of installing
an electrical voting system in the House
to avoid the long delays consequent
upon the calling of the roll by the read
ing clerk.
Representative Walsh, of New Jersey,
appeared before the committee to ex
plain an electric system of voting he has
proposed.
“Dixie is bubbling over with pros
perity.”
That is the characteristic way in
which J. W. S. Hardy, of Waycross,
president of the Retail Merchants’
Association, defined commercial con
ditions in the South when seen by
The Georgian at the association’s
convention Headquarters in the Hotel
Ansley.
“But we can better the present con
dition and our merchants In all parte
of Georgia have come to the realiza
tion that by individual effort and
plugging In the right direction we can
make Georgia the foremost State In
the Union,” declared Mr. Hardy.
“To this end the convention was
called,” said Mr. Hardy, “to meet in
Atlanta while the Legislature la In
session, so that merchants can be In
close touch with their Representa
tives and exercise every influence in
their power to get them to support
and vote for the garnishment and
fraudulent Check bills.
"This is a business meeting of busi
ness men, and in no sense is it for
the purpose of boosting Atlanta in
terests. Its only purpose is to work
for the best interests of the mer
chants of Georgia.
"We are in an ora of good business
that is unrivaled. Competition la
keen, but it is also true that compe
tition is the life of trade and prog
ress.
“From all parts of the State come
encouraging assertions that this year
has been a little better than last.
Even a little Is better than no Increase
at all. But I am Inclined to believe
that business this year is infinitely
more than a little better than last in
all lines.”
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, July 22.—
The Second Georgia Regiment is
making extensive preparations for the
visit to camp of Brigadier General
Walter A. Harris and staff on Friday,
when a special dress parade will be
held in his honor.
The big battle of the maneuvers
was fought this morning, the men
having to cut their way with bayo
nets through the matted underbrush
of a swamp to get to the firing lines,
but, according to the instructors, they
did it like veterans. More “casual
ties” were caused by the barbed polhts
of sandspurs than by the enemy.
Rain fell yesterday for the first time
and the men were compelled to drMl
in ponchos. Forsyth defeated Colum
bus in a ball game, 14 to 4. To-day's
officer of the day was Captain John
T. Aycock, and the officer of the
guard Lieutenant H. A. Dickens, both
of Monroe.

Fair Sponsor of Arabian Stylo
Admits New Fad Is Doomed
Here.
At last Dame Fashion seems to have
overstepped the line in freakish wear
ing apparel for women, so far ay At
lanta is concerned.
The Arabian nose veil, an importa
tion now much in vogue in Newport
and other Eastern centers of all that
is fashionable, has met a sharp re
buff here.
The veil in use is drawn taut over
the tip of the nose and covers the
mouth and chin. One sees but the
eyes of the wearer. Mrs. French
Vanderbilt, Mrs. William Goadby and
others* are its sponsors in the East.
Miss Nancy Reed, a former At
lanta girl, now visiting Mrs. George
Spier in Twelfth street, is among the
first here to attempt the nose veil.
“It won’t do for Atlanta girls,” she
declared, and her decision seems to
have been sustained, especially by
the men of the city, who enjoy seeing
all of a pretty face.
