"Her Own Wav.p

The Youngest leading man on the
American stage is found in the COM
pany supporting Maxine Elliott in the
clyde Fitch comedy. Her Own Way"
His name IS Donald Gauaher, and he
has been hailed as the coming matinee
idol of the period of 1925.
Even now. in the year 1904, Donald Is
something of heartbreaker. He has
already won Miss Eliiotrs affection,
and stands high an her estimation. She
is very fond # the youngster. and is
delighted TO have such a talented and
courteous little man In her support.

has been so much greater than expected that we
shall send only a small tonnage 10 Manitoba. the
bulk going 10 the Territories. The expenditures
by the Canadian Pacific Railway at Banfr have
already reached several hundred thousand dollars
and the total capital invested will probably be in
the neighborhood OF 1.000.00O. Changes are being
made in the way OF larger CRATE areas and stronger
draughts. that in another year a large part of
the small coal which IS being wasted will be
utilized for steam purposes. This will enable the

RACE TROUBLE IN OHIO
Lynchlng Of Negro in Springfield Leads
to Serious Situation.

A special from Springfield, o., sayss
Tuesday morning great crowds visited
the scene Of Monday nights lynchina
of Richard Dixon, who had Killed Po-
liceman Coils. Hundreds came over
the traction lines and others in vehi-
cles, attracted by the news of the
lynching.
Mayor Charles ]. Bowlus did every
thing possible to prevent the work of
The mos.
Threats throughout the day Tuesday
to burn the Levee, the negro district
of the city, confirmed Mayor G. ].
Bowlus in his belief that more trouble
was brewing, and he asked Governor
Herrick for troops. Two companies
from Dayton and one each from Mia
misburg, Urbana and Columbus were
promised TO reinforce the two local
companies.
At $50 o'clock Tuesday night the
crowd in the Levee district had in
creased to 1900, and one or two shots
had been fired at random. All the sa-
looms throughout the city have bsen
closed.
A crowd Of about 1000 men assem-
bled along the Big Four railroad
tracks, almost blockading Washington
street, which is known as the Levee.
The negro streets were unusually
quiet, and seemed to be waiting for
a start to be made by the white men.
The other crowd was bOisterous, and
there were frequent yells and several
pistol shots heard
No effort will be made to use Com
pany A, Ninth battalion, composed OF
colored men, because of fear OF racs
prejudice
During the afternoon threats were
heard that the Levee would be burn
ed It is said that the negroes are de-
termined to avenge the lynching of
Dixon In one Of the large shops the
white men treated the negro employees
with contempt, and this resulted in
heated arguments and threats being
exchanged.

benedict Memorial School Burned.


The Benedict Memorial school
building, located near Cedartown, was
burned to the ground at 2 o'clock last
Saturday morning.
In addition to the school building
proper the large library was also con-
sumed. The pupils Of the school lost
practically all Of their clothing.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
At the hour the fire was discovered
all the pupils and members Of the
faculty were asleep. The pupils were
reused as rapidly as possible and bara-
ly had time to provide themselves
with clothing for the night air before
the entire structure was a mass of
flames No clothing was saved except
the little they put on before leaving
the building There was no insurance
carried on the buildings, hence they
were a total loss.

MoRMoNs swAYED BY CHURCH
Must be Chosen Apostle Before secur-
ina Senatorial Tcga.

mo SENATORIAL CSGs
That Reed Smoot could not have
been elected to the United States SEN
ate without having first been chosen
as an apostle of the Mormon church
and that after he was SO chosen he
could not have been defeated, was as
serted by Judge Ogden Hiles, assist
ant United States attorney from 1895
to 1890 and later a Judge OF the dis
trict court of Utah, who was witness
Saturday in the Smoot case.
He claimed to have procured more
indictments and conducted moro
prosecutions against the Mormons on
charges of polygamous cohabitation
than any other official VINO has served
in Utah He told an interesting story
of the prosecutions and said the first
cessation in the fragrant practice or
polygamous cohabitation came after
the passage of the Edmunds-Tucker
act making adultery crime and pre-
scrlbing heavy penalties for viola
tons. Up to that time the people
went to jail or paid fines, declaring
it preferable to obey the laws of God
rather than the laws of man. The
heavy fines for subsequent prosecu-
tions for adultry, he said, brought
change of view. Many Of those prose
cuted were poor and unable to pay the
fines and then they accepted the offer
of the courts to waive punishment If
promise was given not to continue
to violate the laws.
An interesting feature of Judge
Hiles testimony was a declaration that
former United States Senator NV
Inns was still Mormon, even though
he stood against the church on the
matter of political interference. Attor-
ney Van Colt took the wlS%n5ss to task
for the statement and the colloquy en-
livened the close of the days hearing.

Pleaded Guilty to Theft.

Samuel McClurkan, the young At
lanta and West Point railroad clerk,
and William Edwards, formerly porter
in the general passenger agents office,
charged with having stolen and sold
to ticket brokers number of one
thousand mile interchangeable tickets
from the West Point Route, pleaded
guilty to a misdemeanor before Judge
l.. S. Roam, Of the criminal superior
court in Atlanta. McClurkan was fined
5000, including court costs, and Ed
wards was fined 800, to include costs.
In default of payment Of the fines, the
men are to go to the county public
works for term of twelve months.
Judge Roam gave the men ten days in
which to pay their fines.
Since McClurkan and Edwards have
pleaded guilty to the theft Of the mile
age books, 1t Is almost a foregone
conclusion that an effort will be made
by the grand jury to indict the ticket
brokers who received a number of
the tickets.
