Or. Wares Kissing Bill.

The following is the text of the bill
introduced in the Virginia Legislature
by DR.. R. B. Ware, of Amherst coun-
ty, to prevent indiscriminate kissing
Whereas, kissing has been decided
by the medical profession to be me-
dium by which contagious and intec-
tious diseases are transmitted from one
person to another;
"And whereas, the prohibition of such
an ofense will be great preventative
to the spreading of such diseases as
pulmonary tuberculosis, diphthsria
and many other dangerous diseases
therefore,
"Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of Virginia
81. That it shall be unlawful for
any person to kiss another unless he
can prove by his family physician that
be has not any contagious or infec-
tious disease.
"2. If a physician testi6e' that a
person has weak lungs, and such per-
son kisses another person, be shall be
found guilty of misdemeanor and the
same penalty shall be imposed as if he
had some contagious or infectious dis
ease.
"3. Any person violating the privi-
sions of the first and second sections
this act shall be deemed guilty Of a
mi.demeanor and fined not less than
ST. nor more than S. for each offense. >
If DR.. Wares bill becomes law,
such dialogues as these will be whis-
pered in a thousand dimly lighted
parlors, in shady groves, on starlit
piazzas and by the sad sea waves
throughout the Old Dominion:
"Oh, darling; oh, my sweetheart; /;
one kiss, only one,
ooh, Charley, you ought not to ask
me. No, 1 cannot; you know can
not.
Don't be cruel, darling. Please,
just one.
you are so persistent No, now,
don't; you'll muss my hair. Please,
don't. Wait moment; let me 60,
please. Well, if you must But wait
have you your csrtifCateH"
Eyes, dearest, here it is. I got it
today, but your eyes your very pres
ence made me forget all about certih-
Gates. You have yours, Of course ?"
"N-no, forgot to get it; l didn't
expect you tonight.
Great heavens what ,di'appoint-
ment. cannot kiss you now, for l
cannot break the law"
She sobs, he grab, his hat and
rushes out of the door, while the de-
| tectivs rises from beneath the window.
Fooled again u he mutter', as he dis
appears into the night.
The reason for DR.. Wares anti-kiss-
ing measure is his desire to protect the
health of the people Of the State. Be-
sides, he says kissing is a senseless
habit anyway. What good can come
Of pressing one pair Of lips upon an
other2 1t is an unclean practice, he
maintains, and results in the spread
Of disease of all kinds, 80 he proposes
to stop all persons from kissing unless
they can produce certificate from a
physician showing them to be free
from all kinds of contagious or pull
monory diseases.
Under his law \ man may not kiss
his sweetheart she may not kiss her
dearest enemy; mother may not kiss
her children husband may not kiss
his wife or allow his wife to kiss him ;
be may not even kiss his mother-in-
law, nor may a child kiss its mother,
unless each has a clean bill Of health
from physician.

ROMAN CITIZENS ARE TO
GIVE ROOSEVELT A CANE

ROME, Ga, Sept. GA delegation Of
citizens will visit Chickamauga battlefield
next Sunday from this city. They will
met President Roosevelt and present the
chief executive with handsome souvenir,
cane cut from the battlefield. The cane
will be mounted in silver. in the device Of
as-deer. The stick will have six silver
bands around IL bearing the names Of
three confederate generals and a similar
number of Federal commanders who took
part in this engagement. The names of
Generals Bragg, Longstreet and Wheeler
will represent the southern commanders,
and those of Generals Rosecrans, Thomas
and Howard the northern officers.
, Mr.. Houston Harper of the Rome Trib-
une originated the design of the cane and
will be chairman of the committee from
this city. The idea is to commemorate

born in the seventh congressional dis
trict and to make the occasion one in her
memory.
Among those who viii go from Rome
are Houston r. Harper, Judge w. NJ
Henry, Hon. Moses Wright, Postmaster

tendance.

II The e' apple crop 4 ughout the apple grow
ing sections of the east and west is OF immense
proportions. and II reports be true, the quality
is superb and prices will range 50 as TO admit
OF a liberal and general consumption. The
present demand in this market Is strong with
a good profit being realized by the handlers.
Lemons are the cheapest known for many
years. although they are being consumed ex-
tensiveiy the margins are very narrow.
Florida drops will begin TO move during the
next two weeks, and the crop this year is going
70 be the heaviest since the disastrous freeze.
Bananas are in good demand, however. the
fight that is on between the trust and anti
trust importers has somewhat demoralized
prices whereby the wholesaler and retailer, as
well as the consumer have all been mutually
benefited.
Home grown peaches are a thing Of the
past for the present season, the trade now rely

These California fruits are becoming more pop

Never IN the history OF our market has a
more complete glut existed on cabbage. VIZ
ginia has piled them in here in such guam

state OF affairs demOralizes market conditions
and prevents legitimate prices being obtained
for salable stock.
Irish potatoes are plentiful, in fact too much
so to show a fair margin to the handler. We
think, however, the worst is past on both CAD

Sweet potatoes continue to sell readily at

The demand for onions IS moderate with no
change in prices.
Poultry Is higher than II has been at any
time during the season, with receipts not IN

CHARLIE BOYLE is
ARRESTED BY THE POLICE

Charlie Boyle, the man charged with
bringing TO Atlanta Maiten Sprouse, the
girl arrested by detectives last Monday,
was Friday morning arrested by Call
Officer Spradlin. The girl was released
from custoday Friday, but she was located
and appeared in court Friday morning.
Boyle was bound over to the state court
under a $50 bond and the girl was placed
under a 500 bond as a witness in the
case. In default of bond both were COM
mitted to the Tower.
Boyle is a married man and his wife is
now suing for divorce. He used to be a
bailiff in Justice Orrs court and was at
one time connected with the police depart
ment in the capacity of signal operator.
Recently he has been a newsbutcher,
running on the Southern.
The girl, originally living in Spartan
burg, was in Charlotte, the other end of
Boyle's run, when the two started for
Atlanta. They had been acquainted some
time, and the girl says he promised mar
riage She found out before they left that
he was married, but he promised to get
divorce, she says, and marry her. So the
two came to Atlanta and were living at
1872 1-2 Decatur street, when detectives
took the girl I'm charge last Monday.
The girl is rather good looking, but
uneducated. She will now have to
stay in Jail until the man is tried unless
she can give bond, which is improbable
There was no case made against her.

Murphy & Co.'S Cotton Letter,

NEW YORK, Sept. s-Cables were about
three points lower for futures and unchanged
for spots. The various weekly reports Of trade
journals were rather mixed with predomi-
nance Of reports of deterioration. Early gov
eminent reports indicated absence Of rains in
Texas and none in sight except for some OF
the Atlantic states. Expectation was that port
receipts for the new week might reach 100000,
as against los, 900 last week. Press dispatches
referred to the great scarcity of labor in the
Memphis district and probability Of the crop
being gathered before Christmas. There was
light rain at Fort Smith Charleston and sa-
vannah with a decided fall in the temperature
and close to freezing weather In the extreme
northwest which not unfreQuently extends
southwark Uncertainty as to the tactics to De
pursued by the Wall street leaders left the
trade in a state Of suspense, but the bear
faction were insisting that the crop was being
benefited by recent rains. Heavy rain at
Temple Texas, reported and the bears
undertook to hammer the market at the open
ing being helped by the heavy port movement
which promised to reach 5000, as against s,oOO
last year The market dragged at slow
pace for while but before long big selling
supposed TO be for account Of the bull pool
weakened to points and all support was
withdrawn. Houston expects tomorrow 5000 TO
{, 600, against 7,444 last year. The warehouse
stock here is down to 200 bales.
