¢ ELIL, SBSIR,” remarked
\;\/ the Judge as his old
friend the Colonel
Joined him on the front plat
form, “I've discovered the dis
tinctive Atlanta dish, the succus
lent viand whose flavor lingers
long in the memory of the exile.
“You may remember, or you
may not, that several months ago
I entered a complaint that At
lanta hotels and restaurants of
fered no especial delicacy identi
fled with our falr city. I ob
served that the gojourner in our
midst perused the menu card and
found the same line of experi
ments he would have been offered
in a Broadway hotel and at about
the same prices. And at that
time I nominated the estimable
sweet potato, known in the
higher-priced resorts as the can
dled yam, as the viand upon
which we should center our ef
forts with a view to making it
our local celebrity.”
“Has your idea worked out?”
inquired the Colonel,
“Not that I've been able to dis
cover,” replied the Judge. “The
sweet potato has its place upon
the menu, but it holas a modest
and retiring position in small
type. It is doing nothing to her
ald Atlanta's fame abroad.
“But a friend of mine on his
way from New York to Louisiana
stopped over a couple of hours
here teday and called ine up, He
wanted me to lunch with him.
And where do you suppose he
wanted to go? Why, he led me
around to an antique restaurant
1 had forgotten these ten years,
And he ordered a dish of Bruns
wick stew. And when he had
consumed that, which was a lib
eral portion, he ordered another.
“‘1 tasted Brunswick stew six
years ago when I lived here,’ he
explained. ‘Since then [ have
been in the land of French cooks
and Creole delicacies, Our city is
famous for its coffee, its sea food,
Its rare sauces. But it has no
Brunswick stew, and I've been
hungry for a dish of that mys
terious concoction ever since [
left Atlanta. I wonder If I could
buy a thermos bottle full of it to
take homne on the train?
“But what's the use? We
can't feature Brunswick stew as
aa Atlanta dish, without adver
tising Brunswick more than At-
Janta. I never visited Brunswick
and I don’'t know whether they
make good stew there or not. But
certainly she would get the bene
fit of all our publicity and her
Chamber of Commerce would
start a Brunswick stew kitchen
if they had to mmport an At
lanta cook to make it.”
“Well, what are we golng to do
in a case like that?" inquired the
Colone!
“l reckon we'll have to renew
our efforts toward making the
Atlanta sweet potato famous,”
said the Judge. “And if we suc
ceed the farmers will put up the
price until we can't afford to eat
them any more,”

Prentice, county demonstration agent,
reports finding cotton boll weevils on

‘ Mrs. Etta Miles Hall, bride of less
ithan a week, whose home is in Gar
nett street, near Prvor, Saturday be
came hysterical in the criminal
division of the Municipal Court when
‘her young husband, Dan Hall, Jr., a
#alesman, was gentenced by Judge L.
Z. Rosser, Jr., to serve flve hours in |
the Tower for contempt of court, fori
an alleged threat to whip H. Irskine
Quinn, an employee of the Pittsburg
Plate Glass Company, while the lat
ter was in custody of Deputy Marshal
Head, of the Municipal Court.
At the same time Judge Rosser sent
Quinn to jail in default of a SSOO
peace bond on charges by Mrs. Hall
that he had called her over the tele
phone and threatened to kill her and
her husband and everyone who
chanced to be in her home.
Threat Charged to Quinn,
“I'm coming to your house and lay
You out one by one,” was the threat
credited to Quinn by the young
woman. g
Mrs. Hall, who said she did not
know Quinn, indicated that the trouble
was over Quinn's wife, who hasg ob
talned a first decree of divorce from
him and who is a friend of Mrs. Hall.
She said he prefaced his threats by
inquiries as to whether “Mary,” his
wife, was at the Hall home,
It was while Quinn was in custody
Friday afternoon on the peace war
rant that Hall was said to have
threatened to “beat his face off.’ When
this threat developed in the evidence
in the trial Saturday Judge Rosser
promptly took cognizance of it and
ordered charges of contempt against
him. Attorney C. G. Battle, repre
senting Mrs. Hall, made a plea for
Hall, but Judge Rosser refused to
change his sentence.
This man was a prisoner in the
hn‘dn of an officer of this court, and
you had no right to threaten or
coerce him,” remarked the court tol
Hall as he imposed the sentence of
five hours.
Bride Is Overcome,
Mrs. Hall, who sat near her hus
band, immediately was overcome, and
it was several minutes before she
could be calmed. |
Quinn denied he had threatened the
life of Mrs. Hall, or any of her peo
ple, and declared to the court that the
charges were “framed up” ugulnst‘
him by Mrs. Hall and his sister-in
law, Miss Emily Brockman, who was
in court with the bride, |
“My sister-in-law has got it in for‘
me, and is anxious to see me in trou
‘ble,”” he asserted.

arbour County
EUFAULA, ALA., Sept. 23-—lt
looks as if Barbour County, which
made 26,000 bales of cotton last year,
will produce hardly 10,000 bales this

sections of the county is only 10 to
25 per cent of what it was last year.
The towns of Cla¥ton and Loulsville,
in the lower portion of the county,
which probably receive half of the
county's cotton, will have only about
three or four thousand bales to mar
ket this year. Conditions In and
about Eufaula are even worse. Tis
is the shortest seed year in the ¢cun
