Mr.. NJ. A. Morris, night policeman,
after 8 good deal OF time spent in
watching the offenders, arrested Dan
McAfee and Alex Burgess, both colored

tanned whiskey for q party q few

states that Burgess sold the whiskey to
him. On Sunday night about II o'clock,
Burgess was seen coming from the Gala

4 DELIGHTFUL CHILD,s PARTY.

Misses Jean and Tennent Ward, Of
Franklinton, N. c.. granddaughter Of
DR.. and Mrs. Tennent, and who have
been on a visit to them for the past
month, gave lovely tea party last
Monday evening to the young folks
who had called on them.
After games of various kinds the
guests were invited into the dining
room. The table had cover of cream
silk null over pink. A tall, chrystal
vase, resting on an embroidered center.
piece, was filed with fine roses. A
fancy basket of sweet peas added
greatly to the appearance of the table,
and was presented by Master James
Smith, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Irvine
Smith. The refreshments consisted OF
cake and pineapple glace.
Every young lady brought her doll
In fact, doll wedding was down on
the program. However, it failed to
materialize. The doll wedding table
was set in another room. Just above
was suspended double floral heart.
There were tiny candles with shades,
beautiful small cakes and candies, slip
pers filled with rice, etc. The bride-to-
be looked queenly in lace and Jewels.
The groom-to-be wore the conventional
suit OF black and very happy smile.
The couple were brought up together
from early childhood in Franklinton,
N. c. They decided to come to Mari
eta to be united in matrimony as a
sort of romance, and to spend their
honeymoon speeding about the town in
the new trolley cars.
Just as the guests began to assemble,
the groom was nowhere to be found.
The most diligent search failed to re.
veal his whereabouts. Although the
bride must have felt heartbroken, she
uttered no word OF reproach against
her recreant lover. Her grief was too
deep for tears. The doll dining room
was not opened to the guests. In def
erence to the feelings of the forsaken
bride, the majority of them were not
apprised of the expected event. The
next morning the groom was found
behind door, prone on his face, like a
Carinelite priest. He made no expla-
nations. but it is supposed that some
Marietta Miss DOllie had persuaded
him to adopt this plan of desertion
having fallen in love with him, and
hoping that she might claim HIM as her
liege-lord at later date. The cloud
that seemed SO dark was finally turned
wrong side out, revealing the silver
lining. The couple were joyfully re-
united and have lett for their home in
Franklinton, N. e. Their wedding is
announced to take place at Capt. D. T.
Wards in few weeks, and number
of Marietta dollies are invited as at.

John D. Cunningham, the well known
fruit man, was in the city last week.
Mr.. Cunningham lives at Marietta, Ga,
where he owns large peach orchards
and nurseries. OF recent years. Mr..
Cunningham has made his Headquarters
at Cincinnati, where is located the
American Fruit Union, of which he is
president. Recently he has been tray
cling through Kansas, Missouri, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia
and South Carolina inspecting the orch
ards of these states. He says that from
his observation Georgia has the best
fruit crop this year of any state he has
visited. Now, take Kansas, Kentucky
and Tennessee, said Mr.. Cunningham
the crops from these states are fail
ure this season. know of some points
in Kentucky and Missouri that will not
gather enough peaches this year to
make pies. Tennessee and Kentucky
are in about the same condition. Points
In those states that have heretofore
shipped thousands of crates of peaches
have none at all this year. Texas will
gather fair crop and the fruit from
.this state will come into market with
south Georgia peaches: The crop that
will be gathered in middle and northern
Georgia will come in at season when
it will have no opposition FROM other
sections of the peach growing belt, and
in consequence good prices should be
realized.

On Thursdsy evening Constable W.
A. Bishop saw Van Pew, negro
wanted for carrying a concealed pistol
He took hold of Pew and got him in
front of the court house, when he
jerked away and run. Constable Bishop
fired his pistol at the fleeing negro,
missed him and started in pursuit
The negro started through the city

HOME MISSION ITEMS.

AID interesting meeting was held
Thursday, June 18th. Five new MEM
bers were enrolled. 1t was decided as
the membership was increasing and the
work enlarging to elect treasurer for
the local department of the work. Miss
Florence Hutchinson was elected to
this Office.
CORRECTIONAL AND LOCAL.
The correctional work embraces that
part of the work which is managed en-
tirely by the board (Or in part) such as
parsonages, supplies, educational insti-
buttons, rescue work, city missions and
deacon work. The local work is that
work which is done for the poor, sick
and discouraged in our own locality
Sometimes there are women who can
only afford to pay dues to the local
work, and sometimes there are those
who prefer that their dues should 90
only towards local work. 1t was to
facilitate this matter that two treas
urers were elected-one for the connec-
tional and one for the local. The dues
for the correctional work are $1.2O per
year, ana that for the local 81.

of the attractive features of the H. M.

WOODS CASE is APPEALED.
Famous Summer County Libel Suit in
Supreme Court.

An appeal was filed in supreme court
today which covered AS pages. 1t was
the appeal of H. L. Woods. editor of
the Wellington News. from a conviction
for criminal libel in the Sumner county
district court.
Woods was arrested for publishing
alleged libelous statements in his paper
concerning two Wellington attorneys,
Ed T. Hackney and Clio D. Burnett.
The comment grew out of the disbar-
ment proceedings against Burnett. who
was disbarred from practice by the
Sumner county bar, and appealed to
the supreme court where he got a re-
versal.
Woods charged Hackney and Burnett
with being implicated in a scheme to
manufacture evidence for the purpose
of defrauding a client, and published
several articles in his paper which were
far from complimentary to the attor-
neys. The Sumne county court found
Woods guilty Of criminal libel and as
sessed a fine of 5000. Woods was prose
cuted by County Attorney Emera Z.
Wilson, the man who was thought to
have committed suicide in Topeka.
Woods gave a bone of $500 and ap-
pealed to the supreme court.

see their hands before --1r faces. By
that time there was a small panic. But
nowhere could the slightest odor of smoke
be detected.

his assistants to open up the windows.

might get relief. I had to be very

THE LONELY EXILE
OF Three Men Who Passed Thirteen
Months on a Barren Island.

Thirteen months in lonely exile on the
barren island of Clipperton almost made
wild men of three Italians who were
the sole inhabitants of the dreary bit
of land. They arrived here yesterday
on the little schooner yacht Josephine,
and told of their Robinson CrusOe eX-
istence and of the hardships they ell
dured while imprisoned on the t~reelcss
atoll.

Mexican coast, and act as c~aretakers

schooner Josephine took them from the
island one month ago their hair was

and only thin shirts covered their max

The year on CIipperton was spent by
the three ~~caretakers in a monotonous
round OF their island prison. They vol
unteered to remain on the island, and
at first their easy life had some attrac-
of their existence. for as the months
slipped by there was nothing to vary
the monotony. Once there came a tidal
wave that swept the western side OF the
atoll, and then the three men sought
refuge on the eastern shore. For three
days the storm ragged and the western
side of the coral reef was inundated.
During all thai time the men remained
on the east side exposed to the fury Of
the storm.
They subsisted on wild ducks. of
which there were plenty on the island,
varying the diet with crabs, fish from
the sea and canned goods that were left
them when they were landed on the
island. The crabs proved a source Of
trouble to the three men. covered
the island at a certain hour each lay,
and developed thieving propensities that
necessitated the keeping of everything
fastened up from them.
1T was all right at first, but we soon
got tired of the life. We built a wharf

went by it seemed that we never would
