Mr.. and Mrs l. A. Corbin, of Gwinett, county
seek a divorce after being married fifty years
They were married on July 10th, S58 and lived
together until June Bird last when the wife left the
common home and asked to be divorced.
Affection is strange commodity. 1t must c
nursed to grow and will wither when neglected.
The COrbin case is an extraordinary one, the
average man and woman would have tactfully con
cealed the loss of cOnugal affection and TOUCHED it
out to the end, as q matter of pride. 1t is too IF
ten the case that man and wife neglect each other
to the eternal destruction of the sentiment so essen
tial to martial affection and domestic felicity.
for Pull Out
Treat strangers kindly.
This is important, for if you do they will form
a good opinion of you and the town you live i'll.
Quite often one meets up with a person that
is cold and pompous in demeanor and to get away
from his presence is a pleasure. Sometimes we
find whole communities made up of such people.
To live in such a place makes one miserable
and discontinued.
On the other hand, if visit is made among
people that treat you kindly, you leave them
regretfully and whenever you think of them after
ward it is with u feeling of pleasure
Business people can advance the interests Of
their town by making strangers feel at home. BY
being pleasant toward them by making them feel
that they were to come and live in the town they
would not be surrounded by an atmosphere ofsOcial
chilliness. The cities of today were once small
towns where pleasant and sociable people were
found by the strangers visiting there.

was Just like Uncle Remus.' He was
always doing such things.
''There was an old printer in Atlanta
who. when he was too infirm to work
at the case, went every week to Mr..
Harris and drew his regular pension
enough to supply his simple wants. In
similar ways this kind hearted jour-
nalist managed to get rid Of a large
part Of his income"

When the Uncle Remus' stories
first began to appear. Mr.. Harris re-
ceived scores Of letters asking him by
what deep research he had acquired
his intimate knowledge Of negro philoi-
ogy and folklore. To an interviewer
some years ago he gave the following
quaint account of how his inimitable
stories were derived:
81 don't know much about real negro
folklore. And I don't think any one
else does. But every southerner
knows that every old negro NANNY Is
full of just such stories as write. AS
the negroes do not get them from the
whites, I presume they are of African
origin. Uncle Remus,' however, was
merely a composite or ideal type and
far from being the result Of philolog-
ical research. His dialect or peculiari-
ties of speech are nothing but one Of
the many fanciful parts of his char
acter."

FIGHTER IN COLLEGE GYM.
Columbia Authorities Discover
Bogus Student

NEW YORK. February 21.-James
Leachcross. "A prize fighter who is to ap-
pear at the Broadway Athletic Club Mon
day night. was elected from his training
camp yesterday morning when two proc
tors attached to the Columbia University
gymnasium hustled him out of the gym
and off the campus. Leachcross had pre-
tended to be student at Columbia and
during the past fall and winter he has
been in the habit of spending his after
moons in the university gymnasium.
Wednesday, however, the gymnasium di-
rector. DR.. George L. Meylau. discovered
Leachcross in his true colors and imme-
diately took steps to prevent his presence
there in the future. Leachcross by show
ing a false matriculatiOn card had got
locker in the gymnasium and since the
first of November had used Columbia as
his training grounds.
Some time ago IleachcrOss and another
man were discovered by Henry Lang. who
has charge of the building. boxing in an
unused room in the gymnasium Lang
reported the matter, and since then the
man has been watched. DR.. Meylau was
informed Wednesday that Leachcross was
to fight at the Broadway Athletic Club,
and he began searching thes record in
order that he might inform the head of
the department In which the man was
registered.
His record could not be found and the
doctor concluded that the man was an
impOstor. Yesterday morning when the
woufd-be prize fighter entered the locker
rooms he was met by two Irish prOctors
and escorted in double quick time to the
Broadway entrance to the grounds.

MCFARLAND FAV0RlTE
OVER FRED WELSH

MILWAUKEE. Wis. February 21.-
Packey Mcfarland of Chicago is a 10 to
8 favorite over Freddie Welsh of England
in the betting on the battle between these
two sterling lightweights at the Hippo
drome tonight. A good many local fans
like Welsh, but a great deal of Chicago
money has been sent here and has made
the stock yards boy the favorite They
are false odds. but they will probably
prevail owing to the preponderance of
Chicago money, which always goes down
on Mcfarland. There have been a few
bets placed about town at even money,
but they do not amount to much.
Mcfarland is thought to be trif1e fast
er than the English boxer, and his de-
Tense is thought to be more difficult to
pierce, while there can be no question
that he can outstep Welsh in fancy foot.
work.
Welsh may not be the finished boxer
the ChicagOan has proven himself to be,
but he is strong and can take a wicked
blow a harder one than Mcfarland can
deliver, without wincing
The distance of the bout is ten rounds
and it should just about suit each boxer.

MANY HORSES FALL
AT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS. February 21-Inci-
dents of an untoWard character made the
racing at the City Park track lively yes
terday afternoon. Six horses stumbled or
fell and their riders were thrown to the
ground. Fortunately none of the jockeys
was hurt more seriously than few
bruises. the mud preventing broken bones.
The steeplechase at two miles furnished
the first of the accidents. 1t was more of
an acrobatic performance than race At
one time the field was strewn with
jockeys. Five horses bungled their leaps
so poorly that three fell and two stumbled
so badly that the riders were unseated.
Lindale and Little Wally lost their
jockeys, and Or TX, w. X. Slade and Bank
Holiday fell. AS none of these horses
was esvily backed the failure to retain
their feet hurt financially only a small
portion Of the racegoers Dunning was
the favoriH. and he brought his sup
porters' bets home safely by taking the
lead early.
The STUMBLE that Sir Toddington made
was much more serious to his hackers.

dollars of the Tammany delegation here,
and when he was caught in a jam soon
after the start of the fifth race and threw

groaned in agony of spirit. Sir Todding-
ton was considered so much faster than
his, opponents that his admirers accepted
with avidity the short odds of l to 3
against him. They considered it excellent
interest on the money invested. But the
ACCIDENT robbed them early of all chance
to increase. their wealth. Posing, at 10 to

holes Fairbanks is a member of two
English Clubs. but usually enters from

morning the match was squared on the
sixth hole. But after that Fairbanks took
the lead handily and ended 4 up at lunch

Fairbanks like leoch," to use the lat
ter's own expression. The westerner.

both cases.
The gallery applauded heartily. Fair
