Escort to Save Name of
Little Girls.
“My wife's downfall whs brought
about by her love of fine clothes and
a gay time,” stated A L. Talbot. “I
have known of her wrong-doing for
m long time The r«a*on J did not
kill George Sawyer was because 1 did
not want to stain the name and blight
the lives of my two little girls.”
The injured husband of Mrs. Clif

fore going to the Recorder’s Court

against the couple.
"I went out to what had been our
home, at No. 893 Seabaord avenue,
this morning." lie added. “I wanted
t oget ray clothing and a few per
sonal effects. My wife’s mother, Mrs.
K. F. Holmes, and her sister. Mrs.
William Wolfe, slammed the door in
my face, and threatened to shoot met,
so 1 came away.”

“Since that time," Talbot asserted.
“Sawyer has been increasingly atten
tive to my wife. She loves fine
clothes and a gay atime more than
1 was able to give her. and support
the children, and all that. When Saw
yer showed a disposition to furnish
the things she cared for most, she
seems to have been an easy victim.
Mrs. Talbot is 29 years old. Saw

Business Men to Confer Thursday
on Effective Campaign Against
“Men and Religion.”
Continued From Page 1.
nee red Thursday by Forrest Adair
and L. J. Daniel will result in the
abandonment of the meeting idea and
the adoption of a definite plan of
umpuign against the bulletin;*.
Inasmuch as Mr. Faxon's editorial
in his church paper, The Welder, and
his subsequent comments in The
Sunday American started the protest
against the bulletins that has now
reached such proportions, it Is con
sidered likely that his ideas in regard
to the muxs meeting will be heeded,
and whatever plan he way suggest
probably will be adopted.
Forrest Adair declared Thursday
hat although he favored Mr. Daniel’s
idea that a mass meeting b»- called
to discuss the advisability of taking
some action against the Movement
and endeavor to prevent the publi
cation of the bulletins, lie would not
insist on such a plan being followed,
in view of the opposition of Colonel
Faxon.
Ready to Aid Any Move.
“It seemed to me,” Mr. Adair stat
ed, “that the time wasr ipe for ft
meeting, but it is apparent, in view
of the opposition that Colonel Faxon
lias to such a plan, that he has ft
more effective method of fighting the
bulletins that are doing such great
harm to Atlanta, and holding the
town up to ridicule all over the United
States I am willing to aid in any
movement for the suppression of the
bulletin®, whether it takes the form
of a mass meeting or whether some
other plan of action is adopted.
“It is hardly probable that any
thing definite will be known regard
ing our plans until we can have a
conference. 1 endeavored to arrange
such a meeting yesterday, but owing
to thef act that it was the last day
of the year, everybody was so busy
winding up the year’s affairs that no
one could find time to take the mat
ter up. I hope to be able to confer
with Mr. Paxon and Mr. Daniels and
others some time Thursday, and it
Is likely that this conference will re
sult in a definite plan of campaign.
“It certainly should be aparent to
everyone that something must be
done and at once.”
Colonel Paxon declared Thursday
that he opposed the idea of a mass
meeting because of a belief that it
would accomplish but little good, and
would result In advertising the things
the business men are seeking to sup
press. ,
More Support for Paxon.
“The proper plan to pursue in the,
light, I think,” said Colonel Faxon,
“is for every man In Atlanta who Is
oposed to these disgusting bulletins
and who does not like to see his
city held up to the eyes <-f the world
asamodern Sodom or Gomorroh, to
use his personal Influence to prevent
the publication of these bulletins. The
constant dropping of water win wear
away the hardest stone; and the con
stant outcropping of protest may
compel the executive committee of
the Mon and Religion Forward Move
ment to realize that the people of
Atlanta arc not with them in their
harmful work.”
Mr. Paxon contines to receive let
ters and telephone calls of commen
dation for the stand he has taken,
and many prominent Atlantans have
come to him personally and assured
him of their support. In his morning
mail Thursday there were more than
a score of letters of ensodse indorse
ment and assurances of co-opera-
tlon. Among the prominent Atlantans
who have Joined the ranks of Mr
Faxon and Mr. Adair within the last
few hours are Rabbi Daxld Marx,
and J. F Allen president of the J I’.
Allen Company, one of the city's
largest merchants.
Critics of Bulletins.
Judge Fite Raps
GRIFFIN, Jan 1. In a two-hour ad
dress before 200 members of the Griffin
Law Enforcement League, Judge Au
gustus V\ Kite, of the Cherokee circuit,
heartily Indorsed the Men and Religion
Forward Movement and severely rapped
the Atlanta citizens who are at present
criticizing the bulletins. The address
was Frequently interrupted by vigorous
applause Judge Fite said:
”1 am astounded at the situation in
Atlanta, where such men as Paxon,
Adair and Daniel are opposing the ef
forts of Eagan. Jackson and White to
enforce a plain law written on the stat
ute books of the State. Those men are
not fighting the whisky traffic, but the
unfortunate women and girls, many of
whom are not responsible for being in
their deplorable condition.
‘‘This is the spirit of anarchy, for the
man who opposes law enforcement is
In heart an Incipient anarchist, while he
who defies such law enforcement is an
open anarchist. The main reason we
are such lawless people is the fact that
officials have been negligent In their
duty to enforce the laws
“Every near-beer saloon and brewery
In Georgia is running in open violation
of the law and it is within the power
of the Governor and Superior Court
Judges to Cose up every one them.
/ »ur officials are not doing their duty,
else there would be more respect and
love for the law The uncertainty of
punishment of law violation is to-day
the leading factor in making us so law
less a people. l*»t us he no resyectors
of persons, but enforce the law strictly
and make every man to realize that the
law is his friend.”

A HAPPY NEW YEAR
AND HOW TO MAKE IT SO
If everybody in your county kept all the
money they made last year, that is, kept it in just
your town and county, wouldn’t you have some
town?
If those folks who make hog and liominy did
make and raise enough of it to supply those who
won't, so that all the.ducats stayed in the family
like, wouldn’t we mYhe a cheap crop this year?
And then suppose every merchant preached
this doctrine and showed bis customers they got
as good value right at home as any far away mail
order house could possibly match, wouldn’t that
mean bigger and better stocks and stores?
Wouldn’t it mean larger markets for what
the farmer has to sell, and more common sense
prosperity all around? . .
Well, who’ll start it?
Let's begin at the bottom and work up.
Did you know, for instance, that the Red
Seal Shoe Factory in Atlanta is asking no odds
of the biggest factories of New England?
It is turning out men’s fine shoes that are
sold in the Peachtree shoe stores, as well as in
the leading cities of every Southern State.
This factory alone has kept over three mil
lion dollars in the South that formerly went
North—never to return.
It has blazed the way for a new industry
and demonstrated that some day the South will
make its own shoes.
We have so increased our capacity that wc
have a place for a few hundred new Red Seal
dealers.
These are some of our best known brands:
Easy Street King Bee

They sell from four to five dollars and fre
quently wear six to ten months.
