A Cov1NGroS girl has won prize for
this essay on the kind of man to mar

course. do not-I would desire man
too noble to commit a mean act, but
as gentle as woman, as manly as a
man: one who does not talk scandal or
tell disagreeable truths. A man whose
name l would be proud to bear, to
whom I would carry my doubts and
perplexitics, and with whom I would
find sympathy and JOY"

and the flow increases in volume as the
moon grows. When the moon is full
the spring yields three barrels day.

Allen Yancy (colored) was convicted of

with another negro named Abe Mills, who,
from the evidence upon which they We're
convicted were banded with other con-
spirators, who could not be ascertained,
for the murder Of Cuff. 1t now appears
that Yaucv was not guilty of any con
nectiOn with the crime and has served the

circumstances and periured witnesses who
swore his liberty away.

was present on the occasion of the muir
der has cleared all this up The boy on
his death-bed declared that Yancy was
not in any way connected with the crime
and this fact has been laid before the gov

provided he is asked to do so by the
Judge, solicitor and jury who tried
the case. But here a very serious com

A SENSATIONAL DIVORCE SUIT
Charles w. Pidcock Obtains a First
Verdict Against His Wife.

4
Verdict Against His Wife.
Brunswick, Ga, May 24-Charles w
Pidcock has obtained a first verdict in a
suit against his wife, Nellie S. Pidcock,
for divorce. He is son of ex-Congress-
man j. N. Pidcock of New Jersey, who is
a very wealthy man.
He is now superintendent of the Boston
and Albany railroad of Georgia and general
manager of an immense steam saw-mill.
The troubles of the young couple date
back to their first coming to Brunswick
some three years ago Mr.. Pidcock mar
ried the lady from whom he is seeking
a divorce when she was 10
years old and as pretty as
a picture; She was a Miss Osborn of
Richmond and one of the r. f. VS.. One
child, little girl named Frances, was
born to them, and she in her infancy bids
fair in later years to rival the beauty of
her mother.
After moving to Brunswick Mrs. Pid-
cock attracted too much attention to suit
her husband, especially as she encouraged
it.
Mr.. Pidcock tried to restrain his wife,
but her love for nOtoriety and gay society
exceeded her love for him aud she still led
him a lively chase. Pidcock loved his
wife and he lavished money and presents
on her and provided her with means to
make numerous pleasure trips. Money
was plentiful with him and he spent it
freely on her.
Finally their relations were broken up
by Pidcock sending her home, selling out
his interests here and secluding himself
in the woods and applying for a divorce.
Solicitor William G.. Brantley and Col
w. M. Toomer of this circuit represent
Mr.. Pidcock and Col. Joseph w. Bennett
represents the defendant.
The plaintiffs attorneys are willing to
grant S35 per month alimony, but the de-
PENDANT asks for $75 and attorneys fees
Mr.. Pidcock is here attending the trial
He is a genial, whole-sOuled young man
and has numbers of friends His ex-
treme love for his wife and his family
name makes the result of his married life
very notifying to him. and he has the
! sympathy of lots of people Mrs. Pid-
cock lives now in New York city, where
she is a member of the Carmen Opera
| Company She came to Brunswick this
winter, stopping at the Oglethorpe, and
! looked prettier than ever. Her appear
ance on the streets here in handsome
/ landau, with coachman in livery, created
/ quite a futter.
In answer 10 queries from newspaper
men she stated that her visit here was to
! consult with attorneys, but it developed
before her departure that she was also
after her child, Frances. But Mr.. Pid-
cock had spirited their daughter away
and her search was fruitless.
