i Action of the State Federation of
I\\'om(m's Clubs in indorsing suffrage
lat its recent meeting in Columbus is
expected to be a heated issue at the
meeting of the executlve poard in
January.
Adoption of a resolution favoring
(suffrage has aroused the ire of sev
| eral prominent leaders in the federa
ltion, especially the Macon delegation,
iand they have sent open letters to
all federated club presidents urging
{t_hat they withdraw from the federa
tion.
Leaders in this movement in the
| Sixth Discrict, are Mrs. J. H. Riley,
president Jones County Federation;
Mrs. A. O. Murphey, president Barnes
ville Civic League; Mrs. Walter D.
Lamar, vice president Macon City
‘}"Odem(ion and Macon’'s Clubs; Mrs.
D. C. Horgan, correspqnding secretary

| ter Grace, Mrs. R. T. Taylor and Mrs.
IE. W. Gould of the Macon Rotary
| Club and Mrs, Bruce Carr Jones, cor
{ responding secretary of the Georgia
Federation of Women's Clubs.
The women have as their reason
for withdrawing from the rederation
-an open opposition to suffrage, claim
ing that suffrage has no part in the
| plans and works of the Georgia Fed
jeration of Women's Clubs. which’
should be non-political and non-sec
tarian.
A majority of the leading women of
the Georgia Federation of Woman's
Clubs strongly favor'suffrage, it is
sald. |
I Mrs. J. E. Hays, the new State
I president of the federation, will be
lasl\ml by a few of the clubs of the
,fad«-ruti«;n to rescind the action of the
federation at the (‘olumbus conven
tion when the board meets in Jan
uary. i
Mrs. Bruce Carr Jones, former
president of the Sixth lnstrictl
of Women’s Ciubs, said she could no.
longer remain in the federation and
Ikeep faith with the clubs she has
brought into the federation since the
lt’odemtion has become a political ma-‘

Miss Willie Maude Ballenger,
formerly nurse in an Atlanta hos
pital, and who was bequeathed a
large sum of money in the will of
the late Charles E. Currier, for sev
eral years president of the Atlanta
National Bank, has been made de
fendant in a suit for $200,000 Cfor
alienation of her husband’'s affec
‘tions, filed in the Supreme Court of
'New York by Mrs. Adele G. Sea
mans, wife of Merritt G. Seamans,
}lormerly of Atlanta.
.~ The three principals in the suit
are well known in Atlanta, Miss Bal
lenger was popular and stood higa
in the estimation of the nurses of
Atlanta. She was engaged as nurse
for Mr. Currier ‘during his last ill
ness and performed her duties go
faithfully that in his will he left her
the bulk of his estate.
Relatives of Mr. Currier threatened
to contest the will and a compromise,
variously estimated to involve from
SIOO,OOO to $250,000 as Miss Bal
lenger’'s share, was-agreed on.
Mr. and Mrs, Seamans came to At
lanta from Barnesville several years
ago and Mr, Seamans was branch
nysnager for Ballard and Ballard,
flour dealers, 290 Marietta street, un
til July, 1915.
Miss Ballenger, it is said, became
acquainted with the Seamans family
when she was engaged as a nurse
for Mrs. Seamans. Mr. Seamans dis
appeared from his home March 28,
1917, it is said, and Mrs, ‘Seamans
heard nothing from him until June,
1918, when he is reported to have
sent her a message to join him in
Washington, with their young
daughter, which she did and a recon
ciliation was effected.
According to reports from New
York, Mr. Seamans again left’ home
last Julyv and Mrs. Seamans, with
the aid of detectives, traced her hus
band and Miss Ballenger to 334 West
Fifty-eighth street, New York.
In her suit against Miss Ballenger
the wife says that she and her hus
band lived happily together until
1917, when Miss Ballenger “by means
of wiles and money,” alienated his
affections. She also charges the
nurse induced Seamans to desert his
wife and child last July. ;
According to the New York dis
patches Miss Ballenger was served
with notice of the suit while she
was dining with Seamans in a res-|
taurant at 354 West I"lfty-mghth;
street, Mrs. Seamans taking her law
yer there and witnessing the serv-‘
ing of the mnapers.
At the same time notice was
served on Seamans, directing him to |
appear in the court of domestic re
lations and show cause why he could
not. provide for the support of his
wife and 13-year-old daughter.
Seamans, it is reported, did not
appear in court to answer thpl sum
mons and .at the house where it was
alleged he and Miss Ballenger lived.
it was said they had left in a taxi
cab.

An unprecedented lack of interest
in the general election of Wednesday
was revealed by figures announced at
noon Thursday by City Clerk Walter
C. Taylor, showing that only 366
persons of more than 16,000 qualified
to vote cast their ballots.
The vote was heaviest in the Fifth
Ward, where fifty-five votes were
cast. There were no opposition can
didates to those named in the Sep
tember primary, but several candi
cates' names were scratched on in-
Civigual ballots,
From th® opening of the polls un
til well past 2 o’clock hardly more
than the managers and clerks at the
polling places had voted. Various
persons about the City Hall, upon
hearing this became active and there
were numerous telephone calls so
that the waning hours were marked
by increased balloting.
The usual election day rumor was
current that an effort would be made
late in the afternoon by designing
Ipersons to bolt the primary and put
over irregular candidates. But, as
usual, it proved to be unfounded.

who checked the books of the county
collector, whi¢ch shows that Hutch
