FAMILY IF WGMAN IN BATH-TUB
MYSTERY WED IN GEORGIA
Old Snead-Wardiaw Fam
ily Mansion Still Stands
in Oglethorpe.
OGLETHORPE, Ga.—The tragic death
of Mrs. Ocey W. W. Snead, the East
Orange, N. J., bath tub mystery vic
tim, has revived interest in the myster
ious Snead-Wardiaw house, in Oglethorpe
and called to the minds of many people
the residence here of the Wardiaw fam
ily many years ago.
The late Rev. John B. Wardiaw was
for many years a member of the South
Georgia conference, and also of the old
Georgia conference, before it was divided
in 1866. He wag a man of considerable
church influence and served in many of
the more important charges in the con
ference up to a short time before his
death. His wife was said to be a north
ern woman.
Their oldest daughter married the late
Captain Fletcher T. Snead, of this place,
an honored confederate soldier and a
lawyer of considerable reputation, who
was several times mayor of the town and
for several years a member of the county
board of roads and revenues; In fact, he
filled that position at the time of his
death.
The old Snead-Wardlaw family man
sion still stands in Oglethorpe tenantless,
and has been vacant for some years. It
has been regarded as a “houe of mys
tery” by some.

At the afternoon session of the minis
ters' conference yesterday. the first
speaker was the Rev. George N. Cowan,
of Greenwood. His topic was “The
Preacher's Study: What tt Should Be-'*
The speaker said the preacher should
have a special place for study, and a
time should be set aside each day for
study. As to material equipment, thfr
should be a comfortable room, conven
iently located, well arranged and stocke
with properly selected books. The a'
mosphere of the preacher's study shout
be vibrant with a holy ambition, and
the preacher should study not only foi
his next Sunday's sermon, but also to
add to the fund of hir general knowledge
He should seek In every way the largest
possible breadth of scholarly culture.
The pastor and Mis Perils" was dis
eased by John F. Vines of Anderson, and
U. T. Marsh of Rock Hill. Mr. Vines
said one peril was a starved bddy.
brought about by overwork In pastoral
visiting, and lack of care for the physi.
cal life. Another peril is that of an
empty head—there is no place in Chrlst'3
church for an Ignorant preacher. Th.
peril of mirownoss—getting Into a rut,
giving disproportionate attention to cer
tain departments of the church's life
The peril of spiritual life, when a preach
er Is too busy to pray and develop soul
life.
Mr. Marsh read a well prepared paper,
which was published In these columns
yesterday.
President Baggatt announced the fv
lowing committee on program for next
year: A. C. Wilkins, E. S. Reaves, M.

Victor Herbert vented
the EDISOM

because he believed it was the only sound
reproducing instrument that fulfilled all
conditions, and because he believed that
by means of an Edison Phonograph only
could the widest distribution be given
to good music.
Victor Herbert makes good music
himself. He is now making it for re
production in the Edison Phonograph
and is himself supervising the work of
his own orchestra in making the

Victor Herbert’s Records are but

Permanent. Cure, or Money Back
People who suffer from weak stom
ach, distress after eating, belching
of gas, sourness, bad taste In mouth,
foul breath, biliousness, dizziness or
dyspepsia in any form, should not be
satisfied with a makeshift remedy.
The stomach was made to digest
food and when through abuse or ac
cident it becomes weak and run
down, immediate steps should be
taken to build it up, to put strength
and elasticity Into the flabby muscu
lar Walls, so that it will be able to
extract nutritious matter from the
food and send it to enrich the blood.
Ml-o-na stomach tablets are made
from a prescription containing ingre
dients that purify, renovate and make
the stomach strong enough to do
(what nature Intended it should do.
, Ml-o-na stomach tablets will, if
taken regularly, turn an old over
worked stomach into a new, strong,
sweet one In a few weeks. There is
no other prescription on earth that
can do so much for the great major
ity of stomach sufferers as Ml-o-na
stomach tablets.
