CIRCULATION Growth of the Georgian and Hearst’s Sunday American Below is given the daily circulation oZ The Georgian for the past three months, so that readers may obtain some idea of how rapidly their fa vorite evening newspaper Is growing: CIRCULATION OF THE GEORGIAN FOR JU.4E 49,725 52,609 53,494 52,692 51,311 49.114 48,862 48,007 49,540 49,228 49.691 49,535 55,119 50,141 49,083 48,860 48,934 47,490 50,127 51,065 50.774 50,877 1,487 June 2 June 3 June 4 June 5 June 6 June 7 June 9 June 10 June 11 June 12 June 13 June 14 June 16 June 17 June 18 June 19 June 20 June 21 June 23 June 24 June 25 June 26 June 27 June 28 * you look at from a certain angle. Mme. Bernard, of a Fifth aven.ie shop, who recently returned from Paris, set the latUec pace the other day when she appeared on the streets of New York in one of the extreme types. The madame’s lattice was made of a beautiful old French blue of Louis XVI and black charmeuse, with all sorts of fluffy nets and lace: and things. He is going to New York to swing a big railroad deal, but this can wait, ! he declares, if he finds it necessary I to stay in Atlanta to contest the ac- | tion of his former wife, Mrs. Edith P. Barlow, who has become a profes sional masseuse in Atlanta since her separation from him. * Climax Expected in Suit. The pretty little girl has been the cause of a number of sensational in cidents, not the least exciting of which was an alleged attempt on the part of the mother to spirit her out of a hotel at Lumpkin, Ga., and catch a 3 o’clock morning train out of town. The fight, which has been waged with varying fortunes, promises to have its climax when the present lit igation comes to an issue. Barlow made charges of immorali ty against his wife when he obtained his divorce from her in 1911. These may be revived and form an impor tant part of the proceedings when a decision is being reached as to who is the more fit to have the care and training of the youn^ child. Barlow’s career, which flnde him negotiating big business deals one day and fighting for the custody of his little girl the next, reads like a romance. He has risen like a meteor in the heavens of finance and he has fallen even more suddenly. His fall, however, apnears to have been the rsuit of unfortunate and unavoidable circumstances rather than of poo * business judgment. Fought Way to the Top. As a youth he had few educational advantages. He simply fought hi3 way upward. He was a Stewart County (Ga.) boy. ~ few year'? ago he went to Florida. It was not long before he was worth thousands of dollars and was the owner of a great acreage of orange groves. Just as he was about to reap the results of his investment misfortune sent ar icy blast on his orange trees and he was made a pauper almost in a single night. Being a fighter, he was not discour, aged. He went to Cuba. Sensing the inflation of values that would follow the Spanish-American War, he ob tained options on large tracts of land about Havana. The sale of these has made him rich again. Now he is rated at several times a millionaire He has the confidence of financiers in New York, Paris, Berlin and all the large financial centers. He es says deals that would appall men of less courage and boldness. Just now he is promoting the con struction of a railroad in Cuba. It is the purpose of his visit to New' York to interest men of money in the prop osition. He had thought he might go on to Paris, but the tangle of litiga tion which has arisen over his child may prevent this. Married Three Times. Barlow has been three times mar ried. His first wife died. His sec ond, who now* is living in Atlanta with their child, he met in Boston about 1903, when he was there on one of his business missions. Their mar ried life was not entirely happy, and in 1910 they separated, she returning Continued on Paje 2, Column 5.

WILMINGTON, N. C„ Sept. With society circles of the State stirred as they seldom have been be fore by the reopening of the case against Mrs. Elizabeth Van B. Nich ols, indicted as the embezzler of thousands oi dollars, confidence was expressed by the authorities to-day of their ability to prove that in the ac cused they have a second Cassie Chadwick. The State officials also continued to dig into Mrs. Nichols’ past life to day. Mrs. Nichols returned to Wilming ton to make her home a few years ago following a divorce from her sec ond husband for incompatibility of temperament. Until the death of Mr. Sands sne received a considerable sum as alimony. She was a close friend since girl hood of Mrs. Lemassena, w'ho had great confidence in her ability as a financier, and who is now her accuser All told she turned over to Mrs. Nichols about $27,000 to be invested. It is stated that Mrs. Nichols would pay over to Mrs. Lemassena certain amounts at stated intervals, which were supposed to represent the inter est or diivdends on the investments. This continued, it is certain, until about six months ago, when Mrs. Nichols suffered a nervous break down and was taken to a sc itarium in the North for treatment. Indicted on Three Counts. An investigation by John D. Bel lamy, engaged as counsel by Mrs. Lemassena. resulted in the return :>» indictments by the Grand Jury a few’ weeks ago charging Mrs. Nichols with embezzlement in three cases. The amount alleegd In the indict ments aggregated $14,475. The indictment of Mrs. Nichols created a distinct sensation on ac count of her prominence and high social standing. For several years she lived in Wilmington, where her relatives formerly resided, and was recognized as a leader in exclusive social circles of that city and sec tion. She entertained lavishly. She is a woman of charming personality and was a great favorite in fashion able circles in which she moved. Mrs. Lemassene came here from Philadelphia and appeared before the Grand Jury. She has been brought to hard circumstances by reason of operations of her friend, she says. In two of the cases Wilmington bankers are marked as witnesses, J. V. Grainger, vice president of the Murchison National Bank, appearing in one, and Charles E. Taylor, Jr., president of the Wilmington Savings and Trust Company, in the other. It is alleged In bills that on Jan uary 1, 1909, Mrs. Nihols received $10,000; on September 1, 1911, $3,675, and July 11, 1912, $1,000. A civil action instituted later al leged that Mrs. Nichols “willfully, wrongfully and fraudulently, con verted $27,000 to her use, which amount was advanced by the plain tiff (Mrs. Lemassene) to defendant for purpose of investment and pur chase of certain stocks and bonds.” Jewelry and silverware belonging to the defendant was sold and brought $300, which amount was credited to her account, according to complaint. Woman’s Furniture Seized. A warrant of attachment w’as se cured with the filing of the complaint in the civil action and all furniture belonging to Mrs. Nichols in her fash ionable home on South Front street was seized by the Sheriff. Hearing on an attachment on the home will be held this week, and it is likely that an order will be given by court for the sale of the property. Mrs. Nicnols was thought to be in New York at the time the indict ments were brought and probably was, but information now is that she has gone to Europe. There was talk that she would return to Wilmington for trial and settle up claims. A movement looking to this apparently 7 has been abandoned".

Tt was then that Dr. Harrison informed his friends that he was going to Atlanta to see the object of his affections, and on Saturday afternoon he came to At lanta. The checks, which amounted m $ 12*5, began to come back Monday with the announcement, “No funds. Such a man not known.” Those who had been duped proceeded to get busy and had warrants issued.
