CUPID PLAYING
STRANGE TRICKS

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 19.-Cup!d is
playing strange tricks in the romance
of George Westinghouse, jr., son Of
the multi-millionairo a:rbrake manu-
facturer, and Miss Tvelyn Violet
Brocklebank, daughter Of the English
captain of industry, Sir Thomas Brock
lebank. Today is the date set for the
wedding but there win be no bride
groom to claim the English beauty at
the home of her father, triton hall, ii
Cumberland, England, and no wedding
bells will ring out. For the second
time the wedding has been postponed,
this time on account of the illness of
the bridegroom.
Excessive work and worry over the
financial difficult ties which surrounded
his father, George Westinghouse for
the last IA months are understood to
have broken down the young man
just at the time that the receiverships
were lifted from the Westinghouse in
terests.
This is the second time the wedding
has been postponed. When financial
reverses overlook his father, George
insisted that Miss Brocklebank post
pone the wedding until business mat
tiers could be Strengthened out at home
and he could see what the future held.
This, at least is what the Westing-
house interests assert, though there
were rumors that Miss BrOcklebank
had postponed the wedding herself.
The second date, December 10, was
set since, but again it has been post
poned indefinitely. Mr.. Westinghouse

Sir Thomas Rrock,ebank is the most
famous shipbuilder of England and his
fortune runs into many millions of
pounds. He was knightc1 because Of
the ability he displayed in building
staunch, fast vessels which carry the
flag of Great Britain into the utmost
corners of the world. Miss Violet is
known as one of the fairest Of Eng
lands daughters and she has had a
host Of titled adm ,rers who have Of
fered their hearts, hands and titles in
exchange for her fair loneliness and,
maybe, q goodly portion OF her father S
wealth. CONSERVATION was created in
British social circles when it was an
nounced that Miss Brocklebank had
passed by all her noble WoCers TO be-
come engaged to an American COM
moner-a man. who. had worked with
his hands in his fathers Pittsburg
factories. In fact, Miss Brocklebank
first met Mr. Westinghouse while in
speeding the Pittsburg factories, and
was attracted to him despite the fact
that she was unaware of his identity
and looked upon him as only a me-
chanic.
Then came the financ: al era of
last year, in which the Westinghouse
concern was one Of the first to fall.
The fifty million dollar company went
into the hands of a receiver Young
Westinghouse, his financial prospects
apparently On the verge Of ruin, broke
his engagement to the English girl.
There are some malicious folk who
say that the young lady herself was
responsible for the breaking off Of the

Victor H. Lambert's great play,
THE Girl and the Stampede has it's

possessed by the true and big-hearted

NO HARM FROM RAIN
RELIEVED MOISTURE so FAR IS
 BENEFICIAL.
Truckers and Melon Growers May Well Extend Thanks for Cloud Leaks and Corn Growers Have
 No Kick.

Recent rains have come far from hurting crops in Montgomery County.
 In fact these rains. while not abso- lutely needed. have hastened the ma turing of certain tender growths and have not harmed cotton. corn and other staples.
 This is the report brought to the city yesterday by Hon. William R. Waller. former Sheriff of Montgomery County and now one of the most pros porous planters in the eounty's con- fines.
 "As far as am concerned" said MT. Waller. "she rains have helped me considerably and believe what Is true in my case is true all over the coun- try, for the rains have been general 1t is true that we could have gone along very well without the moisture, but the reports that the crops have been hurt by the showers, I think. Is unwarranted-
 For melon growers and truckers. the weather has been ideal, as after the rains there has always been plen- ty of sun. And I don't think that cot- ton and corn have suffered. On the other hand, if there has been any change, 1t has been for the better"
 The rain of yesterday materially aid- ed Montgomerians in withstandin& the heat of the afternoon and although the baseball fans wept. there was enough fair weather for brisk business hour or so. The showers will continue to- day, accordingSto Section Director Chaffee, of the Weather Bureau

Michael Bound Over For stabbang of
 Dennis Wright.


 Dennis Wright.
 Demoplis. July 24-(Specfal)- Charles E. Michael, who on last Satur- day afternoon stabbed Dennis A. Wright with A knife near the heart. severing an artery, had a preliminary trial before Judge W. F. Herbert, of the City Court of Demopolis, Thurs day morning, and was held to answer before the grand jury. Bond was fixed by the judge in the sum of $500, which was promptly furnished and Michael discharged from custody.
 The condition of Wright is somewhat improved. although he has not com pletely passed the crisis.
 About fifty or seventy-hv five persons, lead by Rev. John B. Culpepper, the evangelist. repaired to the store of the Braswell Hardware Company on last Thursday afternoon at 5:3O o'clock and held prayer meeting. after which the hardware store of DeLoach McMiIIen was visited and prayers recited. These visits took the place of the regular af- ternooD service at the rink.
 The Culpepper revival will come to a close on Sunday night. As a result of the meeting, forty-oiRht persons have associated themselves with the eMthodist Church, and quite a number of others converted have connected themselves with the various other de- nominations.
 DemopoliS again went down in igno- minious defat Thursday afternoon in her second game with Marion Junct- ion, the game resulting to 0. The home boys claim that the umpire's decisions were a repetition of Wednes- days game. Tn the first inning Marion Junction scored three runs. and after the remaining innings neither side made a score. Only a medium sized crowd witnessed the game. The third game will eb played Friday.
