ONCE RICH, HOMELESS
Ex-MAYoR OF NEW YORK TOWN
is EvlcTED.
Jeremiah Casey, Of Edsewater, N. n,
Loses Fortune in Litigation-7ise
and Fall Due to His Inven.
tive Genius.

New York.-At one time affiuent.
Jeremiah Casey, formerly mayor OF
Edgewater, on the Palisades, the 9TH
er day was elected from the home he
had bought three years ago and all
the possessions he had left in the
world were set out in the street. His
wife was so shocked by this latest bit.
ter experience that she collapsed and
had to be placed in a doctors care.
Casey's later years have been full of
hard luck and litigation About all
the money he once possessed has been
spent in lawsuits.
His prosperity and adversely are
due almost entirely to his inventive
genius. Several years ago he invented
a mailing machine. The device could
take the requisite amount of timber,
after it had been sawed to the proper
length, and make box of it as good.
If not better, than one made by car
penter. A company was organized to
build the machines and put them In
operation. Casey asserts he was not
treated properly by the concern. At
any rate he lost his interest in the
patent and in the company as we'll.
That started long line of legal pro-
ceedings which dragged through many
courts and took much money Casey
collected the records of these trials
and several hundred pages of scrap
books were needed to hold them
Back in the days when he was pros
norn,1c 40 hpppGf tho C1d wi C,,f
ting homestead on the Palisades, np-
posite One Hundred and Tenth street,
and went there to live with his family.
Instead of being a haven of rest, the
place proved to be another source of
legal difficulties. He said he had good
reason to believe he had paid for
more land than he found specified in
the deed. More lawsuits were started.
Then his taxes, to his mind. were too
high for the property, and he refused
to pay the assessment Threat of
sale of the land for taxes brought an.
adjustment, but the property had only
| just begun to give trouble. There was
mortgage on it. This, in the course
of time, was foreclosed and the prop
erIy. was SOiu dl duCtloH. Dr. M. ..
Ayres became the owner of the Casey
home. The doctor took no steps to
GUST Casey, and 1t seemed as If I'M
kind fate had decided to give short
respite to the former mayor.
A short time ago, however, DR.,
Ayers sold the homestead to manu-
featuring concern. DESTROYS of build
ing new plant, the company asked
Casey to get out. He refused, assert
ing he had right paramount to
theirs They did not think so, and
constables elected Casey.
Nellie Casey, daughter of the one
time mayor, was schoolmate Of
Grace George. and is now member
Of Miss Georges company.

WIGS NOW MADE OF GLASS.
Lack of the Genuine Article Forces
Use Of Novel Substitute.


London.-. The enormous feminine
demand for artificial coils and tou-
PEGS is leading to famine in human
hair. Formerly Swiss. German and
Hungarian girls supplied the world
Of fashionable women with luxuriant
tresses of all tints.
But the governments Of many coun,.
tries are now mailing it illegal for q
girl to sell her hair or for any agent
to buy it. The supply IN consequence
is running short, and the prices of
real hair are trebling.
A series Of successful experiments
point to spun glass as the most eff
fective substitute for human hair
Wigs made from spun glass are won
derfully light and flne and the tex
ture soft and beautiful.
It is easy to produce any shade de-
sired, while curls and waves can be
manufactured at will to suit the fash.

SO realistic and true to life that it is
impossible to detect the difference
between it and real hair grown on the

one awaited him in the city next morn
Ing. 1t was to be the last, however,

terms:

CfiAPfRONING AT THE RINK

While we feel that in a small city
like Americas, where everybody
knows everybody else, and there
is q more or less general comming-
ling of all respectable people, the
necessity for chaperOnage of young
girls is reduced to a minimum,
there was some force in the argu-
ment made by the pastor of the
Presbyterian church in his sermon
on Sunday, when he advised
parents to see that their daughters
were escorted to the skating rink,
and other places ofamusement, by
older responsibleparties who could
be relied on to protect them from
any approach of evil.
While NO one believes for a
moment that the skating rink in
Americas will eyer be productive
of any evil results, such as accom-
panied such places in the great
cities of the land, the general
proposition set forth by Mr.. Irwin
was sound of principle and gener-
ally recognized as such. 1T is un-
doubleday dangerous for children
OF either sex to be allowed
unlimited freedom of places of
amusement, either in the day or at
night, and especially at the latter
time. There is always, no matter
In how minor degree, the danger
OF communicating association, from
which eVii effects may later come.
Accompanied by a discreetrelative
or friends of mature yearsthe young
are protected, while their enjoy
msnt Is not in the least marred by
healthful supervision of their
conduct and their companions.
Chaperonage is often regarded
as q European institution that has
no place on the democratic soil OF
America. This is an absurd idea
that one often sees advanced.
The sooner it is relegated to the
rear and a common sense view
taken of the matter the better fol-
all concerned. While we are in
clined to the opinion that the
American girl is well able to take
care of herself, and can be relied
on to exercise proper decorum,
and that the American boy is the
exemplar of chivalry, the ounce OF
prevention that Mr.. Irwin referred
TO is none the less always In place.

endeayor to draw them to Its
meetings and lead them to contrl
butte by making It's service more
attractive. As a general PROPOSE
ton men and woman, once IN q
church, will attend its services
with reasonable regularity if they
are made sufficiently attractive.
So will they cheerfuIly contribute
to its maintenance If they have any
interestlEawakened in them and
kept alive by the klife of the.
church
A dead church is very apt to
have lot of dead members, and
pruning them out is hardly the
way to make the church live one.
Perhaps nes awakening in the
management Of some churches
would save them the necessity Ut
dropping members and make them
more potent factor for good in
their communities.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-04-11
TO FIRE OR NOT TO FIRE

We are somewhat inclined to
sympathize with the views ex-
pressed by some Americas pastors
In the matter of withdrawing
fellowship from church members
who fails to measure up to their
duties in regard to attendance on
church services and contributing
TO church finances.
While there may be some justi-
f1cation for sentiment of indigna
ton against the religious dead
beat just as there is against para
site outside of the church who gets
all he can out of life and contrib
utes as little as possible, it is
undoubtedly dangerous precedent
to expel members who fail to
contribute to the support of church
or who neglect to attend it's
meSblugSs
tits difficult enough to get people
into the churches, as it is, and if
the idea goes aboard, and becomes
accepted, that there is to be the
disgrace of an expulsion or arbi-
trary dropping from the rolls be-.
cause of non-attendance or failure
to contribute, the disinclination to
mite with churches may be
increased and a drawback given to
the efforts made to influence men
and woman to become allied with
the churches through membership
In them.
One Americas pastor took the
right view of the situation when he
said that instead of putting people
out of church for the reasons
referred to the churches should

THAT CHAIN GANG lNVESTIGA.
TON

The Times Recorder feels thai
the County Commissioners as
sumed wrong attitude when they
expressed the desire that the
details of cruelty to conyicts,
brought out IN the investigation
on Tuesday, should not be
published.
The charge of brutal Treatment
of the convicts on the county
chaingang had been made publicly,
lad been given wide publicity.
1t was a matter in which the
entire public was interested. If
proved the charges undoubtedly
called for prompt and decisive
action by the Commissioners. Ii
not proved then the blot on Sumter
County's fair name would be re
moved. In any event the entire
public had right TO know the
evidence that was presented, the
right to judge for itself 6whether
the charges were substantiated Cor
not.
The changing is not a .priYate,
but q public institution. It's
management is a matter that deep
ly concerns the entire public. 1t
is one of public agencies for the
correction of evil doors. But 1t is
not, never has been intended to be,
and never should be allowed to be,
a medium for the exercise of
brutality.
In many counties similar inves-
LEGATIONS to that held here have
been called in the past. In every
instance they have been conducted
in the open, the evidence has been
published, and the community has
had an opportunity to decide for
itself whether there were abuses
that needed correcting.
The changing is an institution
that has brought much condemna.
ton on the South. This need not
to be. There is nothing wrong in
the institution itself. It is only
when it is abused, when inhuman
cruelty practiced on the convicts,
that reproach rightly attaches to
lit.
From the evidence brought out
on Tuesday it is evident that there
were sufficient grounds for an in.
vestigation. 1t is certainly to be
hoped that conditions will never
again arise when similar investi-
CATION will be needed. The people
OF Sumter county want the con.
vlcts worked, and worked pro-
perry, but they do not want, and
will not stand for, brutal treatment
OF hem. That is one thing that Is
certain.
