W the Judge as his old
[ friend the Colonel
| joined him on the front plat
. form, “Pve discovered the dls

long in the memory of the exile.
“You may remember, or vou
may not, that several months AgO
I entered a complaint that At

served that the sojourner in our
midst perused tpe menu card and
found the sam® line of experi

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
adled yam, as _the viand upon
which we should center our ef
forts with a view to making 1t
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 hag its place upon
the menu, but it holds a modest
and retiring pogition in small
type. It is doing nothing to her
ald Atlanta’s fame abroad.
“But a friend of mine 6n his
way from New York to Louislana
stopped over a «puple of hours
here today 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 atew. And when he had
consumed that, which was a lib
eral portion, he ordered another,
“'1 tasted Brunswick stew 'six

explained. ‘Since then I have

hungry for a dish of that mys

buy a thermos bottle full of it to

“But what's the use? Wae

“Wall, what are we going to do
in a case like that?” inquired the
Colonel.
“l reckon we'll have to renew
our efforts toward making the

said the Judge. “And if we suc

inquiries as to whether “Mary,” his |
wife, was at the Hall home,
It was while Quinn was in custody
Friday afternoon on the pegce war
rant that Hall was said to have
threatened to “beat his face off.’ When

“This man was a prisoner In the
hands of an officer of this court, and
you had no right to threaten or
coerce him,” remarked the court to
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

charges were “framed up” against
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 lrou-‘

BEUFAULA, ALA., Sept. 23.-—lt
looks as if Barbour County, which
