BRIAN’S VISIT CAUSED
DEMDCRAIS TO RALLY
Atlanta, Feb. 15 —The visit of
William Jennings Bryan to Atlanta
yesterday was made the occasion for
an informal rally of Georgia demo
crats in terested in national politics,
and for a considerable discussion
among them of the outlook for the
next presidential election.
Ma Bryan’t optimism found its re
flection in the views of Governor
elect Hoke Smith, Former Governor
Northern, Governor Joseph M. Brown
and other promient figures of Geor
gia whom he met.
Mr. Bryan arrived yesterday af
ternoon and was escorted directly to
the Piedmont hotel, where he rested
for an hour and then attended a ban
quet given in his honor by the Young
Men’s Democratic league, of Atlan
ta. Mr. Bryan, expressing himself
as strongly in favor of the reciproci
bill, said: “One of the advantages
of the passage of the bill from a dem
ocratic standpoint, is that it will con
vince the farmers that tariff on agri
cultural products has been used for
the purpose of deluding the farmer
rather than for the purpose of help
ing him.”
TO LAY SIDE TRACK
AT WATER WORKS
*«•
Civil Engineer E. Mead, of the N.
CC.C & St. L. railway, was in the
city today looking after the location
of the side track near Mt. Rachel. He
visited the scene with Engineer Camp,
Mayor Trammell and others. It is
likely that the work will commence
within the next few days in laying
the track so it can be used when the
material for the work begins to arrive.
CHLOROFORMED HIMSELF;
CAME NEAR DYING
Atlanta, Feb. 15 —J. H. Smith, an
employee of the Georgia Railway &
Electric company was found lying
chloroformed and senseless on the
floor of a store-house in the Manufac
turing Physician’s Supply company
plant here yesterday, where he had
been testing a motor. He had acci
dentally knocked a bottle from a shelf
smashed it, and had immediately suc
cumbed to the fumes. He was rushed
to the Grady hospital where only the
most heroic treatment brought him
back to life. Had he remained alone
in the room ten minutes longer he
would have been a dead man.
He Was Guilty.
Mrs. Henry Lehr at a luncheon in
Newport ridiculed the assertion of
a French novelist that men objected
to cigarette smoking women because
their sense of smell is so exceedingly
delicate and keen, says the Philadel
phia Record.
“If men’s sense of smell were re
ally so extraordinary,” said Mrs.
Lehr, “he couldn’t stand his rooms
and clothes and mustache all satur
ated with stale tobacco and whiskey
fumes.
“Man’s keen sense of smell! .And
yet how well the average man is hit
off by the story of the tramp arrest
ed for vagrancy.
As this man stood up in the dock
the magistrate said to him:
“ ‘Welt my man, what is the
charge against you?’
“ ‘Fragrancy, your honor,’ the
tramp replied.”

WILSON GETS
ANOTHER TRIAL
YOUNG MAN CONVICTED OF DI
AMOND BURGLARY GETS AN
OTHER CHANCE THROUGH A
DECISION OF THE COURT OF
APPEALS.
Garnet Wilson, who was convicted
of burglary at the April term of
Whitfield Superior court, and sentenc
ed to serve five years in the state pen
itentiary, will be given a new trial,
according to a decision of the state
court of appeals, handed down today.
A special dispatch received this
afternoon stated that the court of ap
peals had reversed the decision of the
lower court.
Wilson was charged with entering
the home of Mr. M. K. Horne and
stealing therefrom some diamonds be
longing to Mrs. Horne. At the time
of his conviction, his attorneys, Mad
dox, McCamy & Shumate carried the
case to the court of appeals, alleging
certain errors in the court’s charge.
The higher court reversed the decis
ion of the lower court and this will
give Wilson another chance.
SUPREME COURT UPHELD
GEORGIA PROHIBITION LAW
- I
Atlanta, Feb. 15 —The state su
preme court handed down a decision
yesterday settling once for all the
constitutionality of the Georgia pro
hibition law,, the decision
ed in the case of the Cufeton distillery
in Dade county, in violation of the
law. The decision of the supreme
court simply confirmed the former
decision of the court of appeals. If
was specifically held, however, that
the prohibition law was not in viola
tion of the 14th amendment to the
constitution of the United Staes.
STATE NATIONAL GUARD
WANT MORE MONEY
Atlanta,. Feb. 15 —Local officers of
the state national guard say they
have the co-operation and support of
the militia officers all over the state
in the fight they are going to make
for higher salaries while on duty.
The legislative committee of the Na
tional Guard officers association of
Georgia will be instructed to recom
mend an increase of pay to the gen
eral assembly. The officers want as
much, while on duty as the regular
army officers are paid.
Same Dose for the Mother.
An uncommonly dirty baby was car
ried to the out-patient department
of a New York hospital by a mother
whose appearance showed the same
disregard for cleanliness, says the
New York Times. The physician on
duty closely scrutinized the baby in
her arms.
“It seems to be suffering from hy
dropathic hydrophia,” he said dryly.
“Oh, doctor,” said the mother, “is
it as bad as that? Isn’t that a dread
ful thing for such a mite? What
shall I do?”
“Wash its face,” recommended
the doctor, “the disease will come
off with the dirt.”
“Wash its face!” repeated the
indignant mother, “Wash its face,
indeed! What next I’d like to know”
“Wash your own,” returned the
physician, imperturbably.
Mrs. Finley’s Father Dead.
Mrs. S. A. Finley has received the
sad news of the death of her father,
Mr. Riley Moulton, at his home at
Oregon City, Oregon.
He was 85 years old and will be re
membered by many here, having lived
at Waring some years ago.

PRELIMINARY HEARING.
Charged with burglary in two cases
George Wyatt, who was apprehended
at Tilton Monday night, yesterday

Failing to make bond he was placed

It is alleged that Wyatt was dis

The following story from Tilton
tells of the affair:
Tilton, Ga., Feb. 14 —Special—
Monday night about 10:30 o’clock,
Dr. J. M. King, Mr. Arthur Joyce and
John Shanon were coming through
town when they suddenly saw a light
in the store of Mr. Race Hogan and
they investigated.
There was suddenly an alarm given
from the outside and the thieves ran.
The men quickly got W. B. Callahan
and just got out in time to catch
George Wyatt with a wagon and team
loaded with flour, bran, meal and other
goods. These goods came out of Mr.
W. P. Kiker’s store, as his name was
on the sacks.
Wyati's >»ck|»iis .vere raKen. He

Mr. Race Hogan. Sacks of shoes,
bed ticking and sugar and numerous
other articles were ready to be taken

W. B. Callahan and Mr. Arthur Joyce.
“THE SINS OF THE FATHER”
COMING WITH FINE CAST
Actors of Acknowledged Excellence
Will Appear in Thomas Dixon’s
Play Booked for Here.
Among the most interesting book
ings of the dramatic season is that
of Thomas Dixon’s newest Southern
drama, “The Sins of the Father,”
which will be played at the opera
house on Thursday night, Feb. 16.
Not only does “The Sins of the
Father” tell a vital and moving story,
but the acting should prove a dramatic
treat. It is a thoroughly metropoli
tan production, and the players have
been chosen to suit the exacting tastes
of the South and to meet the require
ments of audiences in New York
City, whither the play will be taken
after a short Southern tour.
William Owen, the noted star of
many classical productions, will ap
pear as Major Daniel Norton, a gal
lant Confederate veteran. As Major
Norton he has a role of tremedous
strength, a father compelled to choose
between death and dishonor to his
child.
Miss Ruth Fielding, a young fa
vorite of New York audiences, will
play the Major’s ward, Helen, whose
life is darkened by the suspicion of
a taint of negro blood in her veins.
Already this actress has achieved a
number of triumphs in deeply pathetic
and emotional parts. Her sweetness,
sincerity and the tears in her voice
have recalled to the critics the nob
lest characterizations of Margaret
Angelin. The role of the boy lover
opposite Miss Fielding will be assum
ed by Wilbur Mason. Miss Cecilia
Clay, a player well-known to South
ern audiences, will appear in “The
Sins of the Father” as the slv and
TRAIN ROBBERY STORY
IS CORROBORATED
Atlanta, Feb. 15 —That train rob
bers who operated without noise or
gunplay, stole two mail pouches with
papers valued at a cool half million
dollars, at or near Thalman, Ga., close
to Brunswick, a very short time ago,
is corroborated by postoffice inspec
tors in Atlanta. It is probably the
biggest railway mail theft in the his
tory of Georgia since the civil war.
The pouches were from Brunswick,
destined for the north, and were stol
en on the night of January 19th or
January 21st. When stolen the
pouches were being transferred from
the A. B. & A. road to the Seaboard.
Thalman, where the theft is sup
posed to have occurred, is a small
railroad crossing, where there are only
five or six dwelling houses. A good
deal of the bank paper which made up
the sum will be useless to the thieves,
as payment on it is impossible without
the proper endorsements, which could
not be forged.
Let a man tell his wife he neglects
her out of sentiment and she will be
lieve him.
Anyway, a man’s conceit doesn’t
keep him awake of nights.
It’s a long road that has no toll
gate.
B. B. BO WEN’S NAME
FORGEDJO CHECK
A check for $21.00 has turned up
at one of the local banks to which
the name of B. R. Bowen has been
forged.
The check is drawn payable to one
John Bayless and was cashed some
time ago in Cartersville. It went
through the Cartersville and Atlanta
banks and finally reached Dalton,
where it was discovered Mr. Bowen
did not sign it. It is not known who
the offender is.
BOLD THIEF ROBS SAFE
IN BROAD DAY LIGHT
Atlanta, Feb. 17 —The safe in the
offices of the Randall Coal, Coke &
Wood company, was looted in broad
daylight yesterday afternoon about
1 o’clock while the manager was
standing, with his back turned, within
forty yards of the scene. The big
door of the safe was open, and the
cash drawer was smashed open. The
thief got between S9O and SIOO in
cash and some cheeks which can eas
ily be protected.
subtle oetaroon, Cleo, a type of what
over-education does for the negro race
Iler mastery of Major Norton s
household, and his struggle to free
himself from her coils, lead up to
several of the most striking scenes
in the play.
Among the other characters
and Minerva are sure to win the chief
laughter and applause. The play
wright is said to have excellel him
self in the droll darkey comedy that
centers around them and ’tis good
news to lovers of real acting as dis
tinguished from horseplay and buffon
erv that these characters are to be
played by the unctuous Earl Lee and
the inimitable Agnes Earl. Every
one knows about them as the formost
blackface comedians in the country.
With such a cast and with the fine
scenic productions provided by Man
ager George H. Brennan, “The Sins
of the Father,” will display Thomas
Dixon’s marvelous skill as a drama
tist to the best advantage.
