9 not a crime.’
An eloquent plea in behalf of the
Hocused woman was made by Judge
L<\ A. Saffold yesterday- afternoon.
Mrs. God bee and score?* of other
women about the courtroom broke in
to tears when her attorney dramat-
. ally implored the jurora not to take
his client away from her daughter,
vho would be left with no one to taro
T’or her.
He pic tured in bitter words the ai-
egod conduct of Judge Godbee to
ward his former wife. He related in
stances of persecution, of threats and
>f vilification. He asked if there
were any woman who would not liar*
>een goaded to desperation by such
persistent humiliation and who would
not have been in fear of her life In
view’ of the constant threats that
ere made against her.
Brands Judge as Greedy.
.Saffold represented Judge Godbee
as Greedy and heartless, as a man
vrho would stop at nothing for the
sake of obtaining money and luxuries
for himself.
He pictured Mrs. Godbee as a lov
ing wife who had borne the Judge’s
persecutions for years and had given
him possession of piece after piece
of property in the hope** of keeping
.is love and making him independent.
The attorney declared that she went
hack to him time after time alter her
husband had driven her from home
by his ill-treatment and that finally
when he had obtained all her wealth
he cast her off and married a young-
l woman.
Godbee, aspired to greed and
money; Mrs. Godbee to love and hap
piness. The two ambitions were dis-
istrously incompatible," he said.
Bullet Holes Tell Tale.
It was Just a question of the two
nimical natures that caused that af
fair at tho poetofflee. The woman
who was persecuted and oppressed
slew' the man who persecuted and
ippressed her. And the bullet holes
n his body tell the tale. They show’
he was shot in advancing upon her.”
Solicitor General Moore’s closing
address was a bitter attack upon the
laxity of the courts in homicide cas-s
where a woman is the defendant. Hi
demanded that Mrs. Godbee be made
to pay the penalty as though she were
a man. He said that the law made no
distinction and that none should ex-
*t. He described the killing as a
brutal and cold-blooded murder, and
said that tho punishment should be
he same for a woman as for a man.

PLANS ft BIG RALLY

for Week Before Coming of
Evangelist Bridges.
at. Paul's Methodist Church, with
its membership of li.OOU—one of the
biggest in the Southern Methodist
Church—is planning to establish a

day services will be attended not
only by hundreds of present and for
mer members of the church, but by
eight or ten distinguished former pas
tors.

the church, during the past year has
increased the church roll by more
than 200 names. Through his efforts
also the church has become free of
debt, malting possible the planned
dedication on October 19. The church
has prospered in every other respect
also. Its Sunday school is attract
ing particular attention as one of the
most flourishing in Atlanta.
This Sunday there will be the us
ual services at the church, corner of
Sidney and Grant streets, at 11 a. m.
and 7:30 p. m.
The revival will open the following
Snind&y with a sermon by Evangelist

PRICE SEES GOOD
COOPS IN GEORGIA
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Party Reach the Mississippi
Boll Weevil Zone.
Good cheer for the fanners of
Georgia is contained in a telegram
received at the State Capitol from
State Commissioner of Agriculture J.
D. Price, who, with State Entomolo
gist E. Lee Worshan»*and Phil Camp
bell, of the College of Agriculture, is
making an inspection of crop condi
tions in the boll weevil district.
“Georgia crops look good to me.”
wired Mr. Price. ‘‘We have seen lot?
of cotton ruined by boll weevils in
Louisiana. Have not seen any good
corn since we left."
Mr. Price and his aides are in Mis
sissippi Saturday, inspecting crop
conditions in that State. The rav
ages of the boll weevil there are al
most as great as in Louisiana, it is
generally understood, and offieiuls of
the State Department of Agriculture
aie eagerly awaiting his report.
Crops Above /VvorSge.
The wire receiv ed yesterday indi
cates that the farmers of Georgia oc
cupy an enviable position this veuf
among Southern agriculturists. The
boll weevil has not >>t invaded this
State, and Mr. Price’s report indicates
that Georgia crops are well above the
average.
Following the receipt of Mr. Priced
message, Dan Hughes, Assistant Com
missioner of Agriculture, issued a
statement in which he declared that
the farmers of Georgia are not mak
ing the necessary preparations to
meet the invasion of the boll weevil.
Diversification Is Urged.
“Unless a section is prepared for
its coming.” Mr. Hughes said, “the
weevil strikes with almost paralyzing
effect. The only sure way to get
ready for the weevil Is by crop di
versification. Means have been found
which slightly check the ravages of
the pest, such as the planting or early
maturing varieties of cotton.
The only real protection, however,
is for the farmer to make himself
financially independent of cotton.
This he can do only by tinning a
portion of his attention to other
crops.”

Keep it handy, Mother! A little

The Renewal a Strain.
Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon;
again with tens of thousands the
! hardest kind of work has begun, the
i renewal of which is r mental and
' physical strain to all except the most
I rugged The little girl that a few
i days ago had roses in heT cheeks,
and the little boy whose lipe were
| then so red you would have Insisted
• that they had besn “kissed by strsw-
; berries,” have a!read> lost some-
i thing of the appearance of health.
> Nov. is a time when many children
! should be given a tonic, which may
! avert much serious trouble. ar:d we
) know of no other so hlghl> to be
1 recommended as Hoad's Sarsaparilla,
which strengthens the nerves, per-
i fects digestion and assimilation, and
; aids mental development by building
[ up tho whole system.

ll' wiiai you just ate is souring
on your stomach or lies like a
lump of lead, refusing to digest, or
you belch gas and eructate sour,
undigested food, or have a feeling
of dizziness, heartburn, fullness,
nausea, bad taste in mouth and
stomach headache, you can get
blessed relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show'
you the formula, plainly printed
on these fifty-cent cases of Pape’s
Diapepsin, then you will under
stand why dyspeptic troubles of aJi
kinds must go, and why they re
lieve sour, out-of-order stomach3
or indigestion in five minute*.
“Pape’s Diapepsin” Is harmless;
tastes like candy, though each doso
will digest and prepare for assimi
lation into the blood all the food
you eat, besides, it makes you go
to the table with a healthy appe
tite; but, what will please you
most, is that you will feel that
your stomach and intestines arc
clean and fresh, and you will not
need to resort to laxatives or liver
pills for biliousness or constipa

Thl9 city will have many “Pape’s

will call them, but you will be en

Get some now, this minute, and
rid yourself of stomach trouble and

“Gee. ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if’ I had one of
them! How many are you going to give away. Mister?” These
a re some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It wouid only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedal mobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
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 same 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 wdll 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. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile.
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.
