3 TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Atlanta Girl Says She Will Face Accused Husband in Court. Love Dream Shattered. "How floes it feel being the wife of a bigamist? 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, he any rumors." With the love Tight fast dying in her dark brown eyes and more or less resigned, Mrs. Charles L. Smith, wife No 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 S. M. Wilson, of No. 331 Courtland 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 so 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. That was at West Point. “Finally he bought me a ticket to Opelika and said I could see for my self. In some strange manner he happened to get there on the same train, so we arrived in Opelika to gether. There we met tne other Mrs. Smith at the station. Of course he was confused and 1 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 ca^e, contrary to the principles of justice and equity, and strongly and greatly against the weight of evidence in the case.” AMERICAN FLAG OFFER FEET Valued at Five Dollars FOR 90 CENTS This beautiful American Flag, the very latest, with 48 stars, made of fine bunting.

Jones Declares Devil Would Enjoy Stroll Up Peachtree. The assertion mad© in New York recently by Dr. Len G. Broughton, of London, formerly pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle of Atlanta, that the devil would enjoy nothing more 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 best-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 Satanic Majes ty must come to Atlanta and stroll along Peachtree street, when the belles are out—almost literally out, too—in force with the latest thing fashion has thrown about them. “In proportion to population, and other things taken into considera tion,” said Dr. Jones, “conditions in Atlanta are as bad or even worse than they are in New York. While the devil undoubtedly would find en joyment in the metropolis, he would find it in a greater measure, perhaps in Atlanta. “Curse of Generation.” "The enjoyment that a walk up Peachtree street 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 question is whether they are too shocking even for the ruler of the lower regions. “Modem fashions, that have pro duced the slit 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. The prevailing fashion seems to be to wear as few clothes as possible—and to make these few as suggestive as pos sible. Modern woman’s clothing leads only to the devil. It tempts men—though I believe firmly that few women wear thees clothes for that purpose—and no woman ever fell without the aid of a* man. “The wave of immorality that seems to be sweeping the country is due 'n a large measure to the clothes that women wear nowadays, and these clothes—and the lack of them— is one of the tendencies that load to the social evil in high and low society.’ Says Remedy Lies in Parents. Dr. Jones declares that the remedy for the present craze for immodest dress lies in the hands of the moth ers of the country. “Let the mothers take a hand in this matter," he said, “and teacn their daughters lhat they are doing wrong, and then there will be some chance of stopping the craze. It seems that there is no hope until this is done. Conditions appear to b3 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 when he denounced the styles worn in New York. He took foi his text “Shall we know our loved ones in Heaven,” and declared that the answer, for the silhouette and slit skirt devotees, is this: “We shall not recognize them in Heaven, for they will not be there.” Man and Wife Blame Each Other for Woe Grover Carr, of No. 7 Gaskill street, and his young wife each protested Friday to Councilman Charles W. Smith, Acting Recorder, that the other is to blame for their marital troubles, which came to a climax last Tuesday when the husband struck his wife and they separated. Mrs. Carr said her husband became angered because his dinner was not ready. Carr denied this, declaring it was all due to his wife’s careless ness in her house work and neglect of the three small children. Carr was placed on probation un der Policeman Coogler. It is expect ed the children will be placed in the Home for the Friendless.

In an effort to prevent striking him, I turned my car to the curb, but the front wheels would not take it and skidded along.
