AS BIGAMIST Atlanta Girl Says She Will Face Accused Husband in Court. Love Dream Shattered. “How does it feel being the wife of a blgimist? Well, I’m awfully glad I escaped when I did. for he said he was going to take me to the moun tains. where there wouldn’t be any rumors.” With the love light fast dying in her dark brown eves and more or les« resigned. Mrs. Charles L. Smith, wife Mo 3 of the man who was brought to Atlanta from Seale, Ala., Friday and locked up on a charge of bigamy, bared the story of her first love and her disappointment. Mrs. Smith is a daughter of 8. M. Wilson, of No. 331 Court land street. Since her misfor tune she has resided with her father , and mother at this address. Grieved at the sudden turn of af fairs which has put her husband in Jail, Mrs. Smith is bearing up brave ly. She admits she has worried— “worried lots at times”—but declares that at the same time she was sc glad it was not any worse. “He came to see me about four weeks before we were married,” she said, “but never an inkling did I get of the other wife. He did tell me he was a preacher and that his first wife had died. That was all. Then we were married. “Not many weeks after that I learned from a friend that Smith had a wife in Opelika. I told him what I had heard, and showed him the let ter. He answered me by tearing up the letter and denying the charge. He said he would take me to the moun tains, where I couldn’t hear rumors, j That was at West Point. “Finally he bought me a ticket to j Opelika and said I could see for my- j self In some strange manner he happened to get there on the same train, so we arrived in Opelika to gether. There we met the other Mrs Smith at the station. Of course he was confused and I left them talking together. “I heard he tried to escape through a coal chute.” Mrs. Smith declared she was ready to face her husband in court and that she longed for the time when she will be free following his con viction of bigamy, which she pre dicts. Woman Held Guilty By Broyles Appeals Attorneys for Lula Evans, who was fined $25.75 on July 28 for alleged violation of the liquor law, filed a writ of certiorari in the Superior Court with a request for a rehearing of the case. The petitioners assert the verdict against the plaintiff, rendered by Re corder Broyles, was “contrary to law. contrary to the evidence in the case, contrary to the principles of justice and equity, and strongly ana greatly against the weight of evidence in the case.” Mrs.Rebecca Houston Dead; Church Pioneer Mrs. Rebecca Houston, an Atlanta pioneer, died at her residence.

Charles O. Jones Declares Devil Would Enjoy Stroll l T p Peachtree. Scientist Proves Sugar Good Body Builder Consumed Most in Richest Countries. Children’s craving for sweets and the liking of almost everybody else for them are accounted for by Mary Hinman Abel in a bulletin for the United States Department of Agri culture. All sweets are simply sugar in one form or another, and sugar she shows to be an essential article of food, one of the very best articles. One of the curious facts in her findings is that the consumption of sugar in different countries is in gen eral proportion to their wealth. “It may almost be said,’’ she obsefvbs, “that people eat as much sugar as they can get.” It seems that the english-speaking people are the largest consumers of sugar. In 1910 England consumed 86.3 pounds per capita and the United States 81.6 pounds, although still larger amounts are said to be con sumed in sugar-growing district#, largely in the form of ripe cane. Denmark that year consumed 77.7 pounds per capita, Switzerland 64.3, and Germany. France and Holland each about 40 pounds* while in Italy, Greece and Servta the rate was only about 7 pounds per capita. The con sumption of sugar is everHftvhere in creasing. Use of Saccharin Forbidden. Sugar belongs to the Important group of food constituents, carbo hydrates, so named because, a8 a whole, they contain the element car bon in chemical combination with oxygen and hydrogen, these two ele ments being in the same proportion as in water. Other carbo-hydrates closely related to sugar are starch and crude fiber, or cellulose. Sugars and starches are important foodstuffs, since with fat they supply the bulk of the energy of aiet. Saccharin, an extremely sweet ma terial. is not a sugar, but is of an en tirely different chemical structure, being a benzine compound. Its use in food products was forbidden under the Federal Pure Food law. It is quite commonly prescribed in cases of diabetes to satisfy the craving of sweats, as it is believed to be less harmful in suich cases than the sugar, the flavor of which it replaces. There are other chemical substances which are not sugars, but which have a marked sweet flavor. They, like sac charin, it is explained, are in no <*>ns£ foodstuffs. Sugar Never Adulterated. Of 500 samples of sugar examined several yearn ago by the Bureau of Chemistry, not one was found to be adulterated. The low price of cane sugar, In comparison with the price of substances that might be used for adulteration, protects it from such attempts. A more recent publication of the Bureau of Chemistry says that sugars' an a class, both the high and low grades, an now found on the market, i are practically free from adulteration. This is particularly true since the j Federal pure food law of 1906 went I into effect. The assertion made in New York recently by Dr. Len G. Broughton, of London, formerly fiastor of the Baptist Tabernacle of Atlanta, that the devil would enjoy nothing mare than a walk up Broadway or Fifth avenue, looking at the slit skirts. X-ray gowns, silhouettes and other devices of modern fashions, is up held—and then some—by an Atlanta minister. Dr. Charles O. Jones, pastor of the Grace M. E. Church and one of At lanta’s beat-known ministers, con cedes the point that His Satanic Majesty might find pleasure in view ing New York women as they parade the streets almost in the altogether, but— He declares that for real, simon pure enjoyment—to reach the acme of devilish glee—His Satahic Majes ty muft come to Atlanta and stroll along Peachtree street, when the belles are out—almost literally out, too—in force with the latest thiiig fashion has thrown about them. “In proportion to population, and other things taken lhjo considera tion. 1 ” said Dr. Jones, “conditions in Atlanta are as bad or even worse than they are In New’ York. While the devil Uhdoubtedly would find en joyment in the Bietropolis, he would fihd it in a greater measure, perhaps in Atlanta. “Curse of Generation.” “The enjoyment that a walk up Peachtree i-treet would afford the devil would depend solely on the devil’s* capacity for enjoyment. “The enjoyment would be there, for the dresses seen on Atlanta streets, especially on Peachtree street, are shocking enough to keep the devil in a good humor till the end of time. The only quest Job s whether they are too abockinc < v,n foi the ruler of the lower regions. “Modern fashions, that have pro duced the Hit skirt, the shadow gown and the other monstrosities of dress that cause women to traverse the streets with their bodies exposed, are the curse of the generation. Th<* prevailing fashion seems to be to wear as few clothes an possible—and to make these few as suecesMve as pos sible. Modern woman’s clot bine leads only to the devil. It tern; ’ men—though l believ< firmly that few women wear th*=0s clothes for that purpose—and no woman ever fell without the aid of a man. “The w ave "of IfnmojjH r !t*- t’r. 't seems to be sweeping the country :k due ’n a large measure to ’h cloth.-- that women wear novyrdn/s and these clothes—afui the lack of them is one of the tendencies t t I d to the social evil in high and low society.’ Says Remedy Lies in Parents Dr. Jones declares that the fpovxlv for the present raze for i in mod - r dreg's lies in the hands of the mot i- ers of the country. “Let the mothers take a hand in this matter.” he said, “and teac their daughter? :hat they are doing wrong, and then thebe will be some chance of stopping the craze. 1: seems that there is no hope until this is done. Conditions appear to be getting worse instead of better and It seems to be up to the mothers ” Dr. Broughton, who probably will preach in Atlanta before he returns to England, created a sensation wh ,i he denounced the styles worn in Ne ' Y-*rk He took foi his dm we know our loved ones in Heaven.' and declared that the answer, for th silhouette and slit skirt devotees, is thin: “We shall not recognize them in Heaven, for they will not be there.” ILL HOPE FOR HUGE Deterioration Reported Over En tire Belt by Reason of Insuffi cient Rain and Boll Weevil.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 30. -Condition of the cotton cron for week ending August 29: Deterioration in greater or less de gree is ’^ported throughout the cotton belt. In the Atlantic States and in the \iissi.*sfppi valley, as well as where cot ton l*is heretofore maintained its status, or has suffered but slight losses, are 1 reported from shedding, and by reason | of excessive heat and lick of rainfall. The precipitation for three weeks has • been irregularly distributed and gener ally insufficient to maintain the plant in full thrilt. More serious complaints are received from Alabama and States eastWHtd than at any previous time. J However, there are some good reports i com big from < istrlcts where showers have been abundant. In Texas and Oklahoma and part of , Arkanass the plant has shedded quite heavily and IlttVe remains, except polls more or less matured, and these are now opening qhjte rapidly. In Texas such u large percentage of the crop has opened that any benefit from rain ip the way of stimulation to the plaht j would be - ffset in Injury to grades if ’ the rain were accompanied by wind or was of tong duration. I In Mississippi and Louisiana boll , weevils are very numerous and are •bdng much greater damage than has i been heretofore reported. In southern i Texas also it is unlikely that a fall crop j can be matured, because of their pres ence. A condition percentage made up at the end of the week would be some points loWcr than similar .figures seven days ago. rendition by states follows: North Carolina There was no marked change in the crop. General sliotvcrs furnished enough moisture early In the week. There are complaints, however, of some shaddlng. and of an oversized stalk that is either not well fruited or has much young stuff. South Carolina—Some retrogression in crop. Rains very spotted and generally light. Complaints <»f serious shedding where still d-y and few correspondents say platC n * well fruited. Georgia Considerable deterioration is reported. Showers were generally light and widely scattered, very beneficial, but wide areas without rain reports shed ding and some premature opening. Alabama Marked deterioration is re ported from many sections. Cotton opening prematurely. Leaves and squares shedded and young cotton brought to sudden en<l of development by lack of rainfall and beat. Some cor respondents think crop no better than last yeM\ Mississippi—Shedding and boll weevils form basis for many complaints. It ap pears that the loss has actually been considerable, and cotton will now own very rapidly. Boll weevil damage ap pears much heavier than any one an- tic’pated and over a much wider area. Tennessee - Rains fell over the larger part of the cotton area and the crop is slid good, but seems on the whole to he somewhat, short of expectations of two weeks or month ago.

Aug. 30.—Arriving in New York from Italy aboard the Iver- r.ia, the Mnrche.su Huge-San Girrtia- no, who formerly Was Miss Virginia Hope, of Louisville, Kv., to-day an nounced her intention of seeking legal separation from her Italian husband, her ground being his alleged lack of morals, according to the American standpoint. The Marchesa traveled alone, save for her maid, and will go to her old home in Louisville at once, where her action is to be taken. She freely dis cussed the situation, saying that American girls who married Euro pean noblemen took: long chahceb In the matrimonial lottery, and generally lost. “American girls,” she said, “come to a sudden realization when they be come the wives of foreign noblemen that such a thing as fidelity to their wives is not a part of the code of honor of their set. They have no con ception, according to American standards, of the obligations of mat rimony, and an American girl finds it hard, if not impossible, to understand how a man can love his wife and at the same time keep another establish ment. “The American girl marrying at home is often the victim of a drink ing husband. Drunkenness she may understand, even though she does not approve, but infidelity never. The American man dfinks to excess fre quently; the foreigners seldom or never. But the vices of the foreign ers are, to my mind, at least, worse than drinking The European hus band fails completely to understand why his wife should seek to upset all the traditions of his kind, and the Attierleaft girl falls to understand how ■ he can profess to love her and sftend half his time in the society of an other woman, or women. "Women and gambling are the two I principal vices of the noble Eubo- ; pcan, and tjo American girl can stand j cither and retain her self-bespefct. I, for one. am tired of it and refuse to longer share my hilsband with an other Woman.” MANDEVILLE. LA., Aug. 29.—The Southern Transcontinental pathfind er, E. L.
