The grief of forgiveness was pa thetically displayed in Chief of Po lice cleavers’ office Tuesday morning when Effie McCalmon, the country girl from near Carrollton, arrested Monday with I)r. 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 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 Lewis 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. AGED ATHENS WOMAN DEAD.

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 neadquarters in the Hotel Ansley. “But we can better the present con dition and our merchants In all parts of Georgia have come to the realiza tion that by individual effort and plugging In the right direction we can make Georgia the foremost Stale In the Union,” declared Mr. Hardy. “To this end the convention was called.” said Mr. Hardy, “to meet in Atlanta while the Legislature Is In session, so that merchants can be In close touch Hvith 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 era of good business that is unrivaled. Competition is 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.

At last Dame Fashion seems to have overstepped the line in freakish wear ing apparel for women, so far as* 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 other* 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.
