CHARITY WORKER HERE
EIGHT YEARS AGO WHEN
SHE TOOK IN BIG SUM
More evidence of Donaghy and hit
wife.
That ie. more Atlanta people wlio are
•aid to have had dealings with them,
have been dCovered by The Georgian
It was about eight year, n«i> tiu.
Mr*. Donaghy made her appearance In
Atlanta and called upon the wife of
one of Atlanla’a moot prominent mer
chant*. At thla time the Atlanta wom

charity that haa alnce become a pro
nounced auccee* through her effort*,
and auggeated that ahe help It.
Of couree help wae giadly accepted.
Mra. Donaghy, it !■ 'uld, agreed to give
an entertainment for the benelit of the
charity and guaranteed to charity $135.
Thla amount aeemed large and Ita re.
celpt wae looked forward to with de
light.
For a couple of week* or more the
charity promoter anil Iter employed
ticket aellera worked' Atlanta. ' Heveral
timer well-known bualneea men called
upon and aaked to buy ticket*' com
municated with the Atlanta woman at
the head of the charity and when they
found the performance waa for tint
chanty, they gladly contributed.
Received Only |13S.
The night of the entertainment came
and it la declared by the huaband of
thla lady . to~ have been the rankest
kind of a-froet and a fake. Thla^At-.
lama bualneaa man wanted to take the
ticket* at-the door, but thla waa

closed. It ie stated, that they hod sold
tickets to the amount of over 31,3001
And the local charliv got $135!
Since the publication In The Oeorglan

Indorsement Commit!**.
In order to protect Atlanta churltley.
It Is possible that on Indorsement tom-
mlttee of prominent buelnee* men and
women from among recognised chan
ties be organised to provide soliciting
committees In the future with creden
tial*.
Secretary Logan, of ihc Associate]
<'barillas. denounced the charity pro
motion scheme In the etiongesi term*;
end aald It waa a species of graft. Me
Is strongly In favor .t the organisation'
of a committee as Indicated so that
the committee may grant Indorsement
cards to persons soliciting funds In the
aid of charity. In lhl-» way the public
would be protected and so would the
deserving charities In Atlanta, which
need money to further their noble work.
This arrangement would prevent'At
lanta charities being Imposed upon au
Herret.ary Logan says waa the case
with the Juliette Nix W. C. T. U.
Y. W. C. A. Issue* Card.
When Mr*. Donaghy** solicitor* were
at work In Atlanta prying open the
purees of the charitably Inclined, there
were several of the men who contrib
uted who were under the Impression
that the money was for a purpose other
than the W. C. T. L*.
Aa a result of this belief rm the pari
of some, the president and treasurer of
the Young Women's Christian Associa
tion of Atlanta have published a state
ment declaring that no funds are being
solicited by a committee of three young
ladle*.
Here I* what Mr*. Clyde Brooks,
president, and Mrs. T. B. Lumpkin,
treasurer, say In regard to the proposi
lion:
“The Young Women'* Christian As
sociation of Atlanta take* this oppor
tunity to Inform Its friends that It Is
not soliciting funds through a commit
tee of three young ladlee. Any such
solicitations are unauthorised by us.
We regret exceedingly that any of our
friends have been misinformed In this
matter."

REMNANT SALE
WHITE GOODS
- —— Friday 9 to 12 A. M.
We almost hesitate to announce remnants of white goods again for to
morrow.
To the layman—the person who cannot see the daily workings of a depart
ment like the white goods; the many transactions; the outgoing of hundreds
and hundreds of yards—the accumulation of remnants in a week s time
would seem an impossibility.
The majority of white weaves come in pieces of 24 yards and 5 or 10
yards the majority of the sales. Two 10-yard sales, and there you are—a.
- 4-yard short length.
Remnants and short lengths would soon out run the regular stock if we did
not keep a close watch on them.
We’re obliged to have white goods remnant sales. We can’t help it.
But we are going to confine this sale to the limits of 9 to 12 Friday
morning. ^ ,

It la charged that Wimpy told Mra.
Wade the property waan't fit to rent
and In a abort time tenant* could not
be secured for the buildings. Further
It Is ebarged that Wimpy said the only
thing for her lo do was to sell Ihe
properly.
Worth Over 175,000.
Mrs. Wade say* that her agent. Grif
fin, hud told her the property was
worth far In excess ot 176,000, but she
says Wimpy denied this nnd said Grif
fin was only putting up the price so ns
to keep the property In hi* own Imnds
upd collect the rents and for his own
selfish end*. .
"The said Wimpy,"July* Ihe petition
In paragraph elev*n.1'w*a so urgent
ami plausible that he made qhlte an
Impression upon plaintiff: plaintiff did
not know that he had come to New
York expresaly to see her (as she now
alleges to be the fact), but she thought
that he was In New York upon other
matters nnd that he merely brought up
the subleet of this property while there.
The sold Wimpy represented to plaintiff
that It was a mere accident that he
happened to tie at the same bonrdlna
house at w hich plaintiff was slopping "
The result of this visit Is alleged lo
have been the signing of n contract to
sell Ihe property on the following
terms:
Bald Wimpy Is lo give me Ills note
for $60,MOO al 4 per rent Interest paya
ble quarterly for 30 years and I ngree

small meana; that he 1a a 'piker,'
sometimes defined aa ‘a man who goes
Into the game on limited capital, but
who gives It out that he haa on hand
it hug* reaerve fund.'"
All of these representations, allege,
Mrs. Wade, were very material In In
ducing her to sign the contrart. It Is
also charged that Wimpy said 1 per
rent waa tha prevailing rate of Inters::'.
In Atlanta and ahe did not know that
the legal rata waa S per rent, and that
from 6 tn 8 per cent figured In nearly
■ill business transactions.
Renta Mora Than Intarast.
The petition saya that the rents col
lected from the property amount to
more than the amount of Interest Wim
py agreed tn pay. It Is alleged that as
soon as he Induced Mrs. Wade to sign
the paper. Wimpy left the boarding
house nnd plaintiff did not ie* him
again.
Before any papera were sent to her
Mr* Watle says Wltnpy agreed to sub
mit them to her attorney, Ben H. Hill.
Imt says hr never did. And also that
on June 13 last she received a bond for
title from Wimpy and signed It, sup
posing that It was alt right and had
been submitted lo her rounsel before
being sent on.
