Dixie Girl Thrashes
Policeman and Five
Who Come to His Aid
Wednesday's campaign for Ogle
thorpe University opened with the
>250,000 fund within $100,000 of com
pletion.
This fact injected renewed vim and
purposefulness into the campaign
committees, all of which plunged Into
the work with greater earnestness
than ever, if such a thing were pos
sible.
As success loom? larger and nearer
with the ending of eAoh day's cam
paigning. and with the fact that the
committees meet practically no re
buffs. but only a spirit of helpfulness
on every side, having substantial ex
pression in subscriptions, the enthu
siasm of the workers increases. Noth
ing exactly like the fiery ardor of
these hard-headed business men for
this big undertaking has been seen in
a long while.
They're Certain to Win.
But all of them plunged into the
undertaking with only one thought
and idea in view — to win. And it is
absolutely certain that they are going
to do that very thing.
Several events on Tuesday tended
to give fresh Impetus to the can vis
ing Two large subscriptions wi*v
recorded at the noonday luncheo*" —
one from Asa G. < handler lor $1, i0,
and a similar amount from 11. M. At
kinson. James R. Gray, of the ventral
committee, stated that Mr Atkinson's
$1,000 was a personal and voluntary
subscription. It will be recalled that
the Georgia Railway and Power <’om-
i»any already has given a substantial
fctibscripMon to the movement.
When Mr handler was approached
by Major John S Cohen on the sub
ject, Mr Candler said he was greatly
interested In the enterprise, and
would be glad to put his name down
for $1,000.
Girls’ High Facu'ty Aids.
The announcement made Tuesday
through Miss Jes u ie Muse, principal of
the Girls’ High School, of a subscrip
tion of $250 from the faculty of the
high school brought much applause at
the luncheon. This action on the part
of the faculty of the school was vol
untary and came as a very gratifying
surprise.
Miss Muse stated further that the
matter would be brought to the in
tention of the student body of the
Girls’ High School, and she felt con
fident that a substantial offering from
them could be made public shortly.
These incidents furnish striking Il
lustration of the wonderful interest
which everyone Is taking in this
movement, all feeling that It means a
great deal for Atlanta,

Atlanta Risk Agents
In Rate Conference
LOUISVILLE. KY„ Dec. 10.—Mil-
ton Dnrgan and S. Y. Tupper, insur
ance m«*n of Atlanta, participated in a
conference here between representa
tives of insurance companies and the
State Rating Hoard on dwelling house
rates fixed by the board. More than
90 companies had withdrawn from
Kentucky The conference Is said to
have resulted in an agreement.
Branding as a fa I en hood through - 1
out the statements of Mrs. Gertrude
Painter that she deliberately planned j
to marry Joshua l>. Crawford In or
der to get his urmey. and vehemently
denying the charges of immorality
made against her, Mrs Mary Belle
Crawford scored time and again in
her cross-examination by Attorney J.
H. James Wednesday morning, in the
will hearing before Auditor James L.
Anderson.
She denied absolutely that there
was .*uhy .shadow upon her character
and used the word falsehood In an
swer to the intimations from James
that sin- had fooled “Uncle Josh”
Crawford Into believing she was
childle s when she had three children.
A dramatic scene ensued when
James asked her If it was not true
she had lived with a Dr. Hughes 1n
Pittsburg as his wife.
Shouts That It Is Untrue.
"That’s an insult; It’s an absolute
lie." said Mrs. Urawford. “Oh, it is
awful. It is a falsehood throughout;
there is absolutely no foundation for
it.”
“Were you ever divorced from Dr.
Hughes?” asked James.
“How could I have been divorced
from him if I had never been mar
ried to him?” Mrs. Crawford snapped
back.
“All of that has been gone over
with,” broke in Auditor James L. An
derson. “She testified yesterday that
she had never married Hughes.”
“Hut the laws of Pennsylvania
make a common law marriage* a real
ity when a man and woman live* to
gether, and that is what I am at
tempting to show—that she lived with
him as his wife,” said James.
“She has denied having any rela
tions with him. and there is absolutely
no need of going over all of this
again. You have been over this three
times already, and I am tired of it.
I will refuse to allow the recurds to
be further clogged by this useless rep
etition. and you will have to stop that
line of questioning, Colonel James,”
snapped the auditor.
"But the code allows me to cross-
examine in any line I want to, and
you are simply to note that the evi
dence is taken,” retorted James.
Auditor Becomes Angry.
“I know the code,” replied Andor-
HPRINGFIELD, ILL., Dec. 10.—The
place for the negro Is in Africa. Dan
<’rawford, famous African missionary,
who arrived In the city to-day, so
declares.*
“The negro’s home is Africa,“ Mr.
Crawford said. “Climatically and
personally he Is fitted for life there.
The negroes in the United Htates
should be to-day with their brothers
In Africa. It may be economically
impossible to provide for their re
moval, but as they stand in the United
Htates they break God’s law. Divers
seed shall not be sown on the same
field, according to Ood, neither shall

Cotton Tax Returns
Sought by Veterans
Pike County Camp of Confederate
Veterans has taken the lead in a
movement to have the United States
Government return to the South $68,-
072,388.99 collected as a tax on cot
ton between the years 1862 and 1868.
The camp cites the fact that the
Supreme Court found this tax uncon
stitutional, but no restitution ever
was made. Georgia Congressmen
were urged to aid in the fight.
the assertion that his business was
merely in regard to temporary ali
mony.
After a conference, the judge
awarded the furniture, valued at
$1,600 to $1,800, to Mis. Lee, while
her husband should pay her $15 a
month, beginning February 12, by
which time his condition should per
mit him to work regularly.
“And I enjoin both parties from in
terfering or having anything to dc
with one another,” the judge added.
"He won’t let me alone.” Mrs. Lee
insisted.
“He will let you alone,” the judge
told her, "or I’ll put him in the Ful
ton County Jail.
The Lees were divorced once before
in Columbus, Ga., several years ago.
The woman alleged cruelty. Tney
were later reconciled, and came to At
lanta to reside.
A sensational turn was given the
proceedings when Mrs. • Lee horse-
whipper T. I>. Thompson. No. 160
Washington street, because, she as
serted. he had made slanderous re
marks about her.
The horsewhipping occurred July 7

ing.
Hhe was fined by Recorder Broyles

GADSDEN. ALA., Dec. 10.—The
Chamber of Commerce has declined
to indorse a petition circulated by
the Birmingham Citizens’ Committee
asking President Wilson to withdraw
the Government suit against the
"steel trust" for acquiring the prop
erty of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad Company.
The chamber has also appointed a
committee to investigate reasons why
Gadsden should not benefit through
the coming of the Alabama Power
Company by getting lower rates
which would compare favorably with
rates in other cities.
Says Women 'Showed
01!' Before Wilson
Eight new r men from the traffic
squad is the recommendation which
the Police Board will make, with the
request that the police budget con
tain an appropriation caring for this
additional number of officers. The
proposition is to appoint a traffic
sergeant, who will be in sole com
mand of the traffic officers, and by
the placing of men at seven addi
tional corners to properly handle the
ever-increasing traffic of Atlanta.
The great number of automobile
accidents inspired the board to make
an effort to break up the practice of
speeding and reckless driving.

James turned to Mrs. (’rowfnrd and
put the same question In a slightly
different way.
"Colonel James. I will not allow
that; strike that, question from the
record. You must ask something
else,” angrily shouted Anderson.
"If my brother, James, persists in
this repetition following your ruling.
I shall report him to the Court of
Appeals,” broke in Attorney Reuben
Arnold.
“1 don't care what you do,” said
James. “The code gives me the right
to cross-examine in any way I see
tit.”
Another Shout of Denial.
He shifted his line of questioning,
however, and asked Mrs. Crawford If
she had not allowed men and women
to meet in lur r6om in Pittsburg, and
also if she had not received Illicit call
ers. This brought a shout of denial
from Mrs. Crawford, which was fol
lowed bv a momentary breakdown.
She denied that she had ever been
sold out by tho Sheriff of Pittsburg.
She also denied knowing a Mrs. J.
McDermott until after the beginning
of this case, and charged Mrs. Mc
Dermott with telling falsehoods
about her conduct. She denied that
she ever told Mrs. Painter she had
married a man named Keeler, or
that she even knew anyone by that
j name.
Asked if she had not told Mrs
Painter that she was coming South
I to marry some rich old “geezer” and
then kill him, she shouted “No” and
declared she had never heard Mv.*
word before. She denied that she
had ever referred to Joshua B. Craw
ford os an "old turkey buzzard.”
Mrs. Crawford Angry.
Mrs. Crawford at many junctures
. showed Intense feeling as the attor
ney for the heirs shot question after
question at her socking to unveil a
: shadv past In Pittsburg. Pa., the for-
I m< r home of the widow, and also in
I St. Augustine, Fla.
Mrs. Crawford denied emphatically
the testimony of Mrs. Gertrude Pain
ter. her partner as hotel proprietor
j | n St Augustine, who declared that
the widow had often pointed out men
. with whom she said she had lived.
She also denied the accusation that
she had entertained a party of im
moral women In Pittsburg, Pa. is
