Saturday after she had been denied a d.
vorce from her husband, Mack Cummings.
The scene occurred in the corridor OUT

divorce suit was tried. Mrs. Cummings was
brother and some women friends. They
gathered about Cummings, and Mrs. Cum
mings and her mother began upbraiding
him for his statements on the witness
stand. Cummings called for assistance and
Deputy Sheriff c. A. Goodwin rushed out
police officer who was present he quelled
the disturbance, and the parties left the
Courthouse.
Mrs Cummings stated in her petition for
divorce that she INT the defendant were
married at Clayton January 6, 1886. and
separated June 13, 1899. She charged that
he called her names, neglected her and
her. and that he deserted her. She asked
for the custody of the child, Marcus. aged
4 years.
Cummings filed an answer denying the al
legations, but made no charges against his
wife. He did not appear when the case
came up for trial and Judge Ryan had him
summoned into court.
his wife and her mother for his domestic
trouble. He said his wife neglected some of
her household duties. He returned home
enc day, he said, and his wife was absent.
He had the furniture taken away and
stored, he said. His wife went to live with
her mother. He went to see his wife later
and asked her to come and live with him,
but she would not do so, he said.
Judge Ryan said that both were to blame,
and dismissed the suit.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Atlanta. Ga, March 1.-THE cocaine habit
mas now begun crowding the insane asylum
of Georgia. Demented negroes have be-
come such frequent objects upon the streets
of Atlanta that Ordinary Wilkinson has re-
quested the Police Department to deal will,
the prisoners themselves and In the Re-
corder's court instead of bringing them to
him to be tried upon lunacy writs.
Il have never before heard of anything
like it." declared Ordinary Wilkinson this
morning.
Cocaine Is the cause of the present cpl
demic OF insanity among the negroes. Wit
nesses who come here to testify declare
they find ten and twelve boxes of the stuff
in the rooms occupied by the insane per-
sons almost every morning. The number
of insane Is increasing among the negroes
SO rapidly that we ara.unable to handle the
business in this Office and a constant stream
of officers is kept between Atlanta n
M~illedgeville carrying negroes to the insane
asylum. SIX
II don't know who sells the cocaine to the
negroes and therefore 1 do not know who
1 am talking about. but they should be
made to stop. 1t appears to me that the
Police Department by common consent
might take some action. If 1t il necessary
to have the State Legislature enact a law
that should be DONE.
