ing to say in regard to the shoot
ing until the trial.
Excitement was great in the Owl
drug store on Kennedy street when
Harrison walked in and confronted
the young man he claimed had
ruined his sister.
Shot as He Takes Drink.
A half-dozen customers were star
tled by Harrison’s violent denuncia
tion of Williams. It was the first
time the two had met since Williams
went to Savannah some time ago.
Williams was standing quietly by
the soda fountain. Harrison saw
Williams as soon as he entered the
ond walked directly toward him.
•'•Du have ruined my feister and
J graced my family!” he cried.
A are you going to do about it?”

v say that Harrison drew a
.[ -caliber revolver from his pocket
and opened fire on the young man,
i houting: “That’s the last drink of
water you’re going to take on this
earth, for I am going to kill you.”
Three Bullets in Body.
Three of the shots took effect. One
penetrated the right shoulder and one
entered the abdomen. Williams fell
to the floor in agony. He was rushed
to Grady Hospital. Detective Adams
was in the store at the time and
placed Harrison under arrest.
Williams is said to have begun his
attentions to Miss Nora Harrison
about two years ago. According to
members of the family, young Harri
son went to him one day and warned
him that the girl was young and in
nocent and that he would be held re
sponsible for any wrong that, hap
pened to her.
Several months'later Williams went
to Savannah. While he was gone a
baby was born, which now is 14
months old. The girl confessed to her
parents that Williams was the father.
He returned to Atlanta two weeks
ago. Sunday was the first time that
Harrison had seed him since his re
turn.

Miss Sophie Meldrim. daughter of
General Peter W. Meldrim, of Sa
vannah, has been THE belle of Geor
gia since her debut three years ago.
She haa • been courted At home, in
Europe and in every social center
she has visited since her coming out.
Rumor has time and again linked her
name with this brilliant match and
that. Society editors have been on
the alert for the announcement of
her engagement for more than two
years, but never has Ted Coy’s name
been linked with hers until last Oc
tober, when Georgia played Vander
bilt at Ponce DeLeon Park. Coy
came down from his business in Chat
tanooga to act as referee of that con
test. Mias Meldrim came up from
Savannah to act a s sponsor-for the
Red and Bla «.
They met aftei the game, and from
then on Yale’s greatest fullback has
besieged Miss Meldrim.
The sudden marriage Is understood
to have been as great a surprise to
the relatives of the young couple
as it was to their friends.
It was known that Coy had been
assiduous in his attentions to Miss
Meldrim and had made several. Ibng
'trips to visit her at th£ home of
her parents, General and Mrs. P. WV
Meldrim, of Savannah, but that they
were contemplating an immediate
wedding was not suspected by any
one. General Meldrim was in New
York at the time.
The young bride is known through
out the South for her beauty and
grace. She has traveled considerably
and wherever she has gone the fame
of her attractiveness has spread. She
has been the guest of friends in At
lanta a number of times and is wide
ly known here. Mrs. John D. Little
freqnently has entertained her and
Miss Meldrim became a conspicuous
figure in local satiety circles in her
brief visits here.
Coy greatest Football Star.
Coy was heralded in 1908 arid 1909
as the greatest fullback of all time.
He startled the football critics of the
country by the brilliancy of his play.
Miss Meldrim went to Asheville
about ten days ago, ostensibly to at
tend a party given In her honor by
Miss Mildred Cunningham, of Sa
vannah, a lifelong friend. Saturday
she left for Toxaway, where she was
met by Coy. He returned with her
to Asheville, where she has been
one of the belles for several seasons.
They obtained a license at once.
Plan Return to Chattanooga.
Hearing that a baptismal service
was being conducted in'the new Trin
ity Episcopal Church, they wont there
and the ceremony was performed by
Rev. Wyatt Brown, the .rector. • Miss
Cupningham and Mr. Smith, the busi
ness partner of Coy, were the only
attendants.
The young couple left Monday foi
an extended honeymoon through the
East. They will return to Chatta
nooga, where the groom is engaged
| in business.

At Too Much Realism
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Sept. 1.—Maxine Elliott,
who makes her re-entry to the
stage as Potiphar’s wife, in Sir Her
bert Tree’s production of “Joseph and
His Brethren,’’ at His Majesty’s

King George Hit by
Lure of Race Track
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Sept. 1.—Against the

Prisoner-Poet Laments the Poor
Training of “Animal Curiosi
ties” in Federal “Zoo.”
Declaring that the men behind the
Federal prison bars are so imperfect
ly trained as “animal curiosities” as
to positively shrink when gazed upon
as monstrosities, Julian Hawthorne,
prison poet and philosopher, In Good
Words, the official prison organ, sa
tirically criticises the, so-called "Plum
mers” who Invade the secret clois
ters of the unfortunate convicts.
No doubt the science of penology
advances by leaps and bounds as a
result of such methods, the noted
prisoner declares sarcastically, and
the resemblance to the zoo Is notable,
but, be adds, there Is one difference
between the two, In that some of the
criminals have retained some of their
unr«generate human sensibilities and
can’t stand public stares.
The world, he says, having In Its
wisdom and profound understanding
of the needs of human nature cre
ated these populous hermitages where
crime and vice may be miraculously
extracted from the body corporate of
the community—the world, having ac
complished this signal act of sagaci
ty and benevolence, is presently be
set by the curiosity to see how the
charm works.
How Visiting Parties Act.
“Even as slumming parties,” he de
clares further, “are organized In the
cities to observe the peculiarities of
crime in its making and effervescence,
so does the solicitous citizen, w'ith
family and friends, betake himself
cheerfully to the penitentiary to mark
its aspect and conduct when under
constraint. The men don their come
ly afternoon attire, the ladies enhance
their native attractions with the
chromatic charms of fashionable toi
lets, and in groups of from two to
tWehty they storm our battlements,
invade our secret cloisters, cells, hos
pitals and studios, peer curiously into
our factories and w'orkrooms. where
the happy operatives warble at their
tasks; stream through the portals at
the dining salon while the animals file
in to their provender, keeping time
to the stately strains of the band, and
finally stray out in the grounds sur
rounding the mansion, where they in
spect the tuberculosis camp and
watch those of us wlv> are agricul
turally* inclined disporting themselves
among the melon patches or the hen
neries.”
Prisoners Want Solitude.
Instead of rejoicing, in short, as
the zoo animals doubtless do, he says
In closing, the men behind the bars
actually incline to shrink out of sight
and wish that, while they are objects
qf ignominy; they might be left to deal
with’ it under no other supervision
than that of their masters and of one
another.

“I notice in Chicago many young

PANAMA. Sf.pt. t.—The last re-
mnlnirxr barrier at the Pacific end of
the Panama Canal was blown out by
dynamite yesterday morning It wa*
an intensely Interesting spectacle. At
exactly 9:30 o'clock an electric switch,
was turned on and the 1,500 spectators.
Including the Shriners visiting herei
from the United States and officers of
the British cruiscT New Zealand, werd
rewarded hy a wonderful sight. Hun-f
dreds of tons of mud and stone werel
thrown high in the air and the thun^
derous roar of the explosions re-4
echoed In the nearby hills.
Twenty Tons Exploded.
About twenty long tons, equivalent!
to 44.800 pounds, of 45 per cent dyna-4
mite constituted the blast', which wad
one of the largest ever set off In the
canal.
The charge, which was planted iri
541 holes at an average depth of 301
feet, tore a big gap In the barrier, buS
not to a sufficient depth to permit!
water to flow through, as the sea level
channel was at low tide.
Equally Interesting as the explosion
was the actual breaking of the barrier
yesterday afternoon, the tide creeps
mg steadily up until at 1:35 o'clock it
was level with the top of the gap. A
workman seized a shovel and made a.
small trench through which a rill of
water trickled. Gradually It widened,
until an hour later a raging torrent,
with a 35-foot fall, poured through
an opening 400 feet wide into that
part of the canal between Gamboa
dike and the .Miraflores locks, whlcti
previously had been excavated by
steam shovels.
Cut Entirely Pilled.
This cut, which is 5,000 feet long,
500 feet wide and 41 feet deep bel >w
mean sea level, was entirely filled by
3 o’clock, when the waters of the
Pacific laved for the first time the
solid masonry of the Miraflores io ks.
Dredges passed last night through
the opening, and in a few days the
last vestige of the barrier will be re
moved, giving a practically completed
channel at the Pacific end. The
dredges will begin on September S ' >
remove the last harrier of the Atlan
tic channel. When this work is ac
complished, ships may navigate in iho
lock ends.

CHIEF OF POLICE
A, L. Walker Shoots Down J. B.
Harter, of Allendale, at the
Lena Depot.
LENA, S. C., Sept. 1.—Much ex
citement has been created by the
killing here Sunday afternoon of J.
B. Harter, chief of police at Allen
dale, by A. L. Walker. Mystery Is
added to the tragedy In that Walker
absolutely declined to make any
statement of why he killed Harter.
According to then nly eyewitness,
the Rev. William J. Langston, Walker
placed his pistol against Walker’s
Hide and emptied it in hla body.
Walker made no attempt to escape,
but after his victim had fallen to
the floor and was writhing in the
last agonies of death, stood and gazed
upon him.
The shooting took place at the
depot, when Harter was in conver
sation with the Rev. Mr. Langston.
Walker came up excitedly and asked.
“Mr. Harter, where is my pistol?” to
which Harter replied, “I haven't got
your pistol.” Walker advanced on
iiim, saying, “Well, you must have
It.” Then he suddenly drew a pistol
from his pocket and struck Harter to
the ground with it. Harter sprang
up and struck Walker with hie fist
while he drew his pistol with the
ther hand. Walker then began firing,
putting five bullets into Harter’s
body.
Walker was placed under arrest and
Is being held in the Hampton County
jail. “I will make a statement at
the proper time.” said he, and refused
to discuss the killing further.
Feeling is somewhat tense here.
Harter was well known throughout
this section.
