A i WP* ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. > V l! * URGE Lift FOB Goverior Expected to Concur in Comnutation if Pardon Com mission Reports Favorably. Tit decision of the State Prison Comnission in the case of Dr. W. J. Mcteughtyn, of Emanuel County, un- derfcentence of death for the killing of fred Handers, will be made and tnftsmitted to the Governor Wednesday afternoon, according to an announcement made Wed- n#day. The commission, it is be- lived, will recommend a commuta te of the death sentence to life im prisonment. The Governor in all jrobability will concur in the recom lendatfon. Members of the prison board went ato a short executive session Wed- iesday morning to consider the caJe, »ut adjourned without reaching a de rision until Wednesday afternoon. The decision, which will probably be- o commute the sentence, according o the best information, will not be inanimous. The decision will mark the begln- iing of the end of a case which has ierh&ps attracted more attention in Georgia for a longer period than any ther criminal case in the history of he State. The case has been fought t>r more than four years by both id/*s with all the stubbornness that olid be summoned to convict and to !far. It reached its zenith when it rent to the Supreme Court of the /hited States. Finally, with their client in the shadow’ of the gallows. attorneys for the defendant obtained a respite un til further evidence could be submit ted to the prison board. As Governor Slaton probably will go over this new testimony carefully the fate of the condemned man prob ably will not be decided until short ly before the expiration of the respite on October 5.

[ Freak Cars To Be Absent From Auto Exhibit This Year ’’Perfection of finish, beauty of line and dependability will be the three principal features of 1914 automobiles exhibited at the Atlanta show in No vember. Visitors who look for freaks will be disappointed,” said a Peach tree motor dealer at the Auditorium Wednesday. He was measuring off the space he had contracted for and wondering how he would get all his new cars inside his railings. "The fact that so few really new features are to be offered this year proves how nearly perfected the mod ern automobile is,” he continued. “After years of experimenting the manufacturers have reached some thing like a standard. But this will not detract from the interest of the show. Rather, it will add to it, for visitors will not see freaks but me chanical perfection.” All space for the motor show, which opens November 8. has been taken and decorators are preparing to make the big Auditorium more beautiful than ever. CILEB DELVING ‘Little Miss Fix-It’ Will Not Show Here i Spanish Princess, Deaf, Grows Dumb Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MADRID, Sept. 10.—Little Prin cess Marie Christian, 2-year-old daughter of King Alfonso, has be come totally deaf and is gradually losing her power of speech. Her 5- year- old brother.

Special prayers are being said throughout the city. Germany to Probe 15 Deaths in Airship Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. BERLIN. Sept. 10.—The War Of fice to-day ordered an official inves tigation of the wrecking of Zeppelin balloon L-l in the North Sea off Heligoland last night, with a loss of life estimated at fifteen persons. The superficial investigation show ed that the dirigible balloon ran into a storm. She was driven to the sur face of the sea, where her cars and j compartments filled with water. She was unable to rise and was battered to piece by the waves. Working to prove that the pre- Revolutionary War times were de void of the historian-heralded cyclop- ic upheavals—that “the good dames of Savannah went on spanking their unruly children, despite the pro nounced Tory opposition to all forms of unbridled liberty”—Telomon Cuy- ler Smith-Cuyler, formerly of Atlanta and famous as a collector of auto graphs continued to dig into State archives Wednesday preparing to publish a book entitled "The Di gest of Georgia Wills.” Mr. Smith-Cuyler apparently was not interested in divorce records. It is more than probable that Mr. Smith-Cuyler’s* book would have re mained unheralded until the actual publication if the author had not been discovered, ’’inadvertently," he says, in the very act of compiling some notations from old records which are safely guarded in the Statehouse. Once the cal was out of the bag. however, Mr. Smith-Cuyler met the demand of the reporter for a story in fine style, and announced in addition his intention of publishing a book soon. The book, he says, ig just what its name implies—a digest of wills made out by Georgians who lived during the colonial period. The wills in which the author is particularly in terested are contained in two musty old- volumes, dating back to 1772, which were dug up among the ar chives of the State compiler of official records. Indicative in every way of the times which th®v record, these old will books. Mr. Smith-Cuyler declares, set at rest forever the old contention of historians that the Revolutionary War times were characterized by violent and unexpected disturbances^-change of habit and custom and the like. To prove his own contention Mr. Smith-Cuyler merely turns a musty, moth-eaten page or two—carefully, for time has left its mark—points to the marvelous penmanship of one Whitfield, clerk and ordinary in co lonial Savannah, written before the war. and then turns several pages to another sample of this gentleman’s handwriting, written after the war. The meaning. Mr. Smtih-Cuyler ex plains—but to make a long story short, it is satisfactory. Evidently, the good dames of old Savannah did spank their youngsters Just as hard during the war and after as they did before the great struggle for liberty. Things have gone wrong again for "Little Miss Fix-It.” She was to have appeared at the Atlanta Theater Tues day, hut failed to do so because of trou ble in making the many railroad con nections in the trip from Toronto, Canada Neither of the two engagements will be tilled by “Little Miss Fix-It." the performance to-night being railed off. Until Friday the house will be dark, when “The Merry Countess,” the Strauss operetta, will be the attrac tion.

Another Triumph For the Chamberlin - Johnson DuBose Co. Millinery As this is being written the first day crowds to the dis play of authentic fashions of Fall millinery are coming, seeing and being captivated. “The hats are lovely!” “The hats are beautiful!” “The hats are charming!” So the expressions run and the Chamberlin-Johnson- DuBose Company Millinery Section is scoring another triumph. However, it is hut a logical sequence of events—the outgrowth of a well planned and well executed system with which we have fortified our millinery organization. The hats are either as right and correct and true as Paifis with her Reboux, Evelyne Varoii, Marie Guy, Marie Louise and others can make them, or they are Paris styles tuned to America’s tastes by the artists that reign in the little shop of Estelle Mershon right there in the.center of America’s fashions, 20 East 46th St., New York. It would be very strange if these hats that Atlanta is invited to see were anything but “lovely,” “beautiful,” “charming.” And now another day to enjoy the display! Make use of it, do not think fora moment there will be the slightest bit of urging you to buy. We want Atlanta women to see what we have done for them. Chamberlin=Johnson=DuBose Co. William D.

Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they are handled a good deal on the san/e order and are interesting to the parents as well as the children. These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or girl who is fortunate enough to win one. These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C. Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street.
