OH. HINKLE SEES PLOT
BY ENEMIES IN WIFE'S
Teacher Driven to
Suicide by ‘Blues’
MACON, Sept. 2.—Thus far efforts
of mutual friends to bring about a
reconciliation between Dr. A. B. Hin
kle and his wife, Mrs. Nita Hinkle,
who are estranged, have been un
availing, and Mrs. Hinkle has reiter
ated her intention of immediately
suing for divorce. She has placed the
matter in the hands of John R. L.
Smith, her attorney and it is stated
the suit will be filed as soon as he
can prepare the papers.
Dr. Hinkle declares that his ene
mies are urging his wife to take this
course. He says he still loves her
and their children, and does not pro
pose to do anything to bring further
disgrace upon them. He declares ne-
intends to remain in Macon and prac
tice his profession and in time con
vince the public that he has been a
true and loyal husband and father
during his 25 years of marrlec life.
Scores Husband's Conduct.
Mrs. Hinkle, on the other hand,
charges that her husband's conduct
has been such as to cause her and
the children to be ostracized by their
former friends, and that she had fully
determined to seek a legal separa
tion.
Mrs. Hinkle and the children have
for the time being left the palatial
Hinkle resMence and are resldin-j
with Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Lanier in
the Navarro Apartments. Dr. Hinkle
and his 80-year-old mother, Mrs
Laura Hinkle, of New' York, whose
hip was broken in the family melee
Saturday nlt.it. are occupying the
Hinkle home. Mrs. Nita Hinkle . tvs
she will not molest her husband un
til his mother has recovered, but
must then leave. The aged Mrs. Hin
kle is in a serious condition.
The home and practially all the
other property Dr. Hinkle has ac
cumulated was transferred to the wife
some time ago, the combined value
being estimated at $100,000. If she
succeeds in holding this property, and
Indications are that she will, Dr. Hin
kle will be left a poor man. He savs
his wearing append and personal
trinkets are about all he has left.
According to dispatches from Amer
icus, Dr. Hinkle and his father, Dr.
James Hinkle, killed Dr. James Wor-
shum, a prominent Americus dentist,
in 1890. The elder Hinkle was given
a life sentence and committed suicide
in his cell. The son afterward was
acquitted. The Hinkle trials were
perhaps the most sensational evei
held in Sumter County.

City’s Notables Get
Hay Fever! Run Away.
Now is the open season for hay
fever, as a canvass of the number
of prominent men out of the city
will show. None but prominent men
ever have hay fever, they say. With
an ordinary mortal it never gets
worse than a bad cold. But at this
time of the year there are any num
ber of well-known business and
professional men who are at the sea
shore or the mountains with the
familiar excuse left behind that they
won’t be back until cold weather on
account of the hay fever.
Hay fever, it seems, is not limited
to any climate. It is a perennial
trouble that only a change of cli
mate will prevent. Experts declare
it gets worse late in summer be
cause of fine particles of chaff which
are sloughed off by weeds and
breathed into the nostrils, irritating
a sensitive nerve.
Captain James W. English, presi
dent of the Fourth National Bank,
annually flees from it. Ex-Mayor
Courtland S. Winn has his nose made
almost as red as his hair by it every
year about this time.
Mayor James G. Woodward used
to complain much about it, but since
it has become the pet trouble of one
of his chief political opponents, Car
los H. Mason, chairman of the Po
lice Commission, he is bearing his
suffering in silence.
Those afflicted assert they can tell
the exact day and almost the hour
this trouble will come on each year.
Accordingly there is usually a mad
rush at the last moment to get to
the mountains.

Taylor Pens Moral Play;
They Lived Happily, etc.
Walter Taylor, Atlanta's famous
City Clerk, has attached new* honors.
He is now a full-fledged motion pic
ture scenario author.
On September 3 the Edison Com
pany will release Mr. Taylor’s first
picture—a pathetic circus drama en
titled “The Girl, the Clown and the
Donkey.” The story is simple and
touching.
Joey, the "butt” of the circus, had
no friends hut Margaret, a fair bare-
back rider, and Dynamite, his donkey.
But conditions changed one day when
he received a notice that he had in
herited a fortune from an uncle who
had died in Germany.
Just when all were patting him on
the back a telegram came which read:
"The amount left you by your
uncle is $34.”
Joey couldn't stay with the circus
after that He ran away. Several
weeks later he slipped back to have
a quiet talk with Dynamite.
The Strong Man found him whis
pering into Joey’s ear. The Strong
Man shoved him away and then gave
Dynamite a vicious kick.
That was more than Joey could
stand. He pounced on the Strong
Man and overwhelmed him.
When a crowd had collected on ac
count of the disturbance, Margaret
rushed in with startling news. There

hours after she had swallowed six
drams of carbolic acid with suicidal
intent, Miss Naomi Wells, newly
elected teacher of English and his
tory in the West Point High School,

tive for her self-destruction remains
a mystery, except to those to whom
she left sealed notes, and they are
closely guarding the secrets of those
farewell messages. From the first
physicians gave no hope for her re
covery. stating that her death was
only a question of a few hours.
J. M. Wells, a farmer, of near
Thomson, who was notified by tele
graph Monday morning of his daugh
ter’s act. reached here late in the af
ternoon, but pot in time to see her
alive. He is heartbroken. The news
.-r> prostrated Mrs. ^Wells that she
was unable to maker the trip from
