The bridal party stood before a
handsome grouping of palms, starred
with bride roses, with a large true
lovers’ knot of white tulle caught
amid the greenery. Tall gold pedas-
tals, filled with Aaron Ward roses
and narcissi, tied with white tulle,
marked the pews. Two uncles of the
bride and bridegroom, the Rev. R.
F. Alsop, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and
the Rev. John R. Molloy, of Tennes
see, officiated.
Women Beautifully Dressed.
The bride was very charming in
her gown of white brocade satin,
which had formed her mother’s wed
ding gown, combined with white.tulle
and the rose point lace which had
also adorned her mother’s wedding
gown. The long tulle veil worn over
the face, was edged with rose point
lace, and the bridal bouquet was of
white orchids and valley lilies.
The bridesmaids wore lovely toilets
of white satin with tunics of green
chiffon, caught with knots of tiny
pink rose buds. They wore short
tulle veils, adjusted from rhinestone
bandeaux, and carried Adele baskets
of silver, filled with Killarney roses
and valley lilies.
The maid of honor wore shell pink
chiffon draped over pink satin with
trimmings of rose colored velvet. She
wore a pink tulle veil and carried a
similar basket of pink roses and val
ley lilies.

gowned in rose brocade and silver,
with corsage of lace and butterfly
bows of black tulle, caught with
rhinestone buckles. Mrs. Edward B.
Alsop, of Washington, wore violet
oharmeuse with draperies of violet
chiffon, draped according to the lat
est mode, and she wore black Par
adise feathers in her hair.
Reception After Ceremony.
A brilliant reception at the Capi
tal City Club followed the ceremony,
the guests including the bridal party,
out-of-town guests, and intimate
friends. The ballroom was decorated
with palms and smilax, and in the re
ception room, where the guests were
received, there were quantities of
foliage plants and yellow chrysan
themums.
The bridal party of twenty was
seated at a large round table, placed
under an arch of smilax, starred with
pink orchid ilgbt9. A minature foun
tain bordered in ferns, and starred
with white orchid lights, from which
there rose valley lilies, formed the
centerpiece. Gold fish sparkled in
this fountain, and water lilies and
turtle doves of bisque were on its
surface.
Tlffe other guests were seated at
small tables, each adorned with pink
roses in baskets, and pink shaded
candelabra. A long table seating
twenty-eight was arranged for the
out-of-town guests, the ushers and
their wives. A large number of
friends from a distance attended, and
the wedding was a notable social
event.
Mr. and Mrs. Alsop left for New
York during the evening, and will sail
from there for Europe.

A. H, Smith of New York Central
Almost Shot by Watchman
After Crash.
CLEVELAND. Dee. 13.—Lake
Shore officials to-day are conduct
ing an investigation of the wreck of
train No. 16 to Chicago, near Wick-
liffe early to-day, in which Fireman
Rubrick was killed, with a belief that
it was an attempt on the part of
train wreckers to “get” President A.
H. Smith, who was en route to New
York in his private car on the train
to take up the office to which he has
lust been efected.
Engineer Lamb said that following
the crash he saw two men standing a
short distance ahead on the track.
One of them cried:
“You are all in the ditch,” in a
mocking voice. Before I^amb could
reply they had fled.
Lake Shore police think disgruntled
track men recently lv!d off may have
conceived and executed the plot to
wreck the train.
President Smith, who rushed to a
nearby brick yard to telephone for
the wrecker, narrowly escaped losing
his life. He was trying to break in
a window when Watchman Peter An-

Griffin Elks Lodge to
Fill Empty Stockings
GRIFFIN, Dec. 13.—A move is on
foot here to see that no child's stock
ing is left empty at Christmas and
that no poor family shall go without
a substantial Christmas dinner. The
work of providing for the stockings
and dinners is under the management
of the Griffin I-od^e of Elks and the
Salvation Army.
At a meeting of the lodge a liberal
contribution was voted for the pur
pose, and a committee was appointed
to have the matter in hand. The Sal
vation Army is at work to give a
Christmas tree to 300 children and to
furnish an equal number of dinners.
It ig evident enough that the rail
roads are to withdraw, to all practical
purposes, their mileage books in Geor
gia, both interchangeable and indi
vidual, as a result of the Supreme
Court’s recent affirmation of the Rail
road Commission’s order promulgated
a year or so ago.
Interchangeable mileage has been
withdrawn entirely, in its intrastate
aspect, and even individual mileage
is to be sold at the maximum rate
only, which, in effect, withdraws it.
One or two roads—among them the
A.. B. & A.—still will sell individual
intrastate mileage at a reduced rate,
but the majority of the roads will fol
low the lead of the Central,
f It looks, therefore, very much ns if
the mileage-pulling warfare between
the traveling men and the railroads
it at an end—at least, it likely will
not again take on an aggressive form
soon. It may he that the traveling
men will ask the Railroad Commis
sion to say whether the roads, hav
ing granted reduced mileage, even
voluntarily, now have the right to
withdraw It without the commission’s
permission—but even that does not
seem likely.
Moreover, just now does not appear
to be a promising time to begin a war
for a reduction of the maximum pas
senger rate in Georgia to 2 cents—as
has been threatened.
The public generally seems to feel
not only that the roads can not stand
such a reduction, but that there Is a
grave doubt whether they really are
getting along as well as they should
under the present arrangement.
In other words, a fight against the
railroads now probably would have a
terrific hack-kick In it. and for that
reason does not appeal to the politi
cians and Is not at all likely to be
started.
It is, of course, "snmoivuitf'q njnve”
in the mileage-pulling matter, nuf
there does not seem to be “some
body” on the horizon willing to move.
It is rather ticklish business—this
“monkeying with the mileage buzz
saw”—just now, and the best bet ap
parently is that the matter will be left
as it is for—well, for some time to
come, anyway!
Representative Ed Wohlwender, of
Muscogee, the “very most virile”
member of the Georgia Lewislature, ;s
in Atlanta to-day.
Air. Wohlwender is, in some ways,
the most persuasive speaker in the
House, and when he begins talking
about something the, other members
make up their minds then and there
to vote for it, if only to slop the wear
and tear on Wohlwender’s lungs,
which are confidently believed to be
made of leather.
The gentleman from Muscogee has
very decided Ideas about things, and
rarely fails to “bat over” whatever
he undertakes. And one big reason
is that everybody likes Wohlwender,
and he generally Stands for level
headed and sensible things only—
and when he doesn’t, nobody holds It
against him.
Governor Slaton to-day received
the following communication, by way
of a postal card:
“The largest bale of cotton on rec
ord In this section has been ginned
in Toombs County and was handled
through the press here by a local cot
ton concern. The bale weighed 800
rounds and brought the farmer $100
and the seed clear. The cotton was
dry and In good condition and graded
middling. No record of a heavier bale
Is known in this section.”
The Governor thinks perhaps this
is the record bale of the entire State.
The return of the Governor after
an absence of two weeks from his
offices in the Capitol brought about
a wholesale rush of visitors of one
sort and another, wishing some ser
vice at his hands.
Within an hour of his arrival in
Atlanta Friday he was In the Capitol,
closeted with his private secretary,
and hard at work. An immense
amount of correspondence had accu
mulated during his absence, despite
the efforts of his assistants to get as
much out of the way as possible.
Something like 100 letters come to
the Governor every day, and a large
percentage of them require his per
sonal and most discriminating atten
tion. Thus it happened that he and
his secretaries were up against about
an even thousand messages of va
rious sorts, that were immediately to
be disposed of.
Governor Slaton Is very rapid at his
official labors, however, and gets rid
of an immense amount of work—par
ticularly letters—in a very short
space of time. At the same time, too,
he is given to writing long letters
rather than short ones.
The Governor expects to be In At
lanta continuously now for a good
many weeks, as there are no engage
ments ahead soon requiring that he
leave the city.
The State has been invited to ap
pear by counsel or committee before
the House Committee on Agriculture
in Washington to discuss the pending
Federal aid to the good roads meas
ure.
Georgia has no particular official to
whom this duty might properly fall—
such as a Highway Commissioner, for
instance—and so it will be necessary
for the Governor to name some per
son or persons of his own motion to
undertake this very important work.
It may be that the State Commission
er of Agriculture will be placed >n
the delegation to go to Washington
in this matter, but associated with
him there will be others.
This proposed aid to good roads,
under the terms and conditions the
Federal Congress will impose, Is a
matter of very great interest and
importance to Georgia. The national
Government Is to extend financial
aid, In co-operation with the various
States and subdivisions thereof. In
the matter of building and maintain
ing good roads for postal purposes.
Georgia has been having some dif
ficulty getting a satisfactory line on
the work to be don , as the Federal
Government will r.->t extend aid to
roads constructed either in part or in
whole by convict labor.
It is believed, however, that some
plan may be worked out whereby
Georgia may participate ir. this fund,
and it is that question the Agricul
tural Committee of the Congress Is
Inviting Georgia representatives to
discuss.
Drys’ Petition for Strict Regula
tion To Be Passed On by the
Committee Monday.
The next step in the campaign of
the Anti-Saloon League will be taken
Monday, when the Police Committee
of Council will demonstrate its atti
tude on the recent request of the
Anti-Saloon league and the Law En
forcement League that permits of
locker clubs and beer saloons whose
officers or owners have ever been in
dicted be revoke . at once, and tint
the owners or officers of locker clubs
and beer saloons found to be violating
the laws of Georgia be put out of
business.
The field officers of those bod' ’s
appeared Friday before the Police
Committee of Council and asked the
members to recommend the above
to Council at the meeting Monday.
The committee also was urged not
to grant any more beer or locker cluo
permits.
The members of the committee did
not pledge themselves to make the
recommendation, and It is understood
that if they did it would not have
much weight, for the reason that the
meeting Monday is to bo the last one
of any importance in which the pres
ent Police Committee will take parr.
Next year the Mayor is * appoint a
new committee.
Members of the leagues assert that
they can supply a lot of evidence
against beer saloons and locker clubs
which, they say, have violated th*
law.
“This evidence was read at the
meeting in the Grand Opera House
several weeks ago,” said the Rev. H.
M. DuBose, chairman of the execu
tive committee of the Georgia Anti-
Saloon League. “It shows that sev
eral clubs In Atlanta have allowed
persons not members tp buy liquor
and carry it away from the cluo-
rooms. *We also have evidence against
saloons.”
The officials who made the request
of the committee were Dr. DuBose;
Dr. W. P. Lovejoy, president of t.ho
Anti-Saloon League, and J. E. Wil
helm. of the Law Enforcement
League.
