Ii we all go4to Atlanta to make our
purchases, our merchants must move
to Atlanta to make the sales. II our
merchants send to Atlanta for their
printing, our printers must go to At
lanta to print; and this principle car

late our town and reduce her real es-

Lever Must Select a Wife.

We publish the following from the
New York Sun, under date of Feb.
10:
"Since the announcement made by
Speaker Cannon recently that Repre-
sentative Lever, of South Carolina,
must marry on or before April 1 or be
forced to wed a woman to be selected
for him by committee Of the House
the brilliant young Congressman from
the Palmetto State has been receiv-
ing proposals from all parts of the
country. Eligible maidens who have
overlooked thus far have been taking
advantage of their leap year privilege
and have showered offers by the score
upon Mr.. Lever. One of the offers
which he received to-day was from a
young woman in Tacoma, WASH,
who wrote modestly that while she
did not regard herself as beauty,
still she knew that she had accom-
plishments which were more to be de-
sired in a wife than mere charm of
face and figure. In concluding her
letter the young woman said:
eff you want any recommendation
would refer you to Congressman
Cushman. T smacked his face for
him eighteen years ago when he tried
to kiss me-"
'sMr. Lever took the letter to Mr..
Cushman, who has just announced
himself as the tallest candidate for
the Presidency, and asked for confir-
nation.
"'I wouldn't blame any young
woman for slapping the face of an
ugly cuss like me for attempting to
kiss her,' explained Cushman. 81
don't remember the incident, and
kissing a girl was so unusual thing
for me that I think I would even now
recollect rebuff of that character"
''Mr. Lever, however, is inclined to
believe from Mr.. Cushman's manner
that the attempted kissing episode
actually occurred, and that the young
woman was fully justified in her ac-
ton. Mr.. Lever hasn't accepted any
invitations to marry, but is still open
to engagement.

Awaiting Lunacy Trial
Man Hangs Self in Cell.

Crazed by worry and dependency,
Edwin G. Scott, Al years of age, a
bookkeeper, confined in the Tower in
Atlanta because of his mental con-
dition, committed suicide Wednesday
night by hanging himself from bunk
in his cell on the third floor, north
wing.
Scott was placed in the Tower Sun
day afternoon, following two attempts
last week to kill himself at his home,
726 West Peachtree. ST. He first sought
to end his life by swallowing carbolic
acid, but failed to take enough of the
poison. His mouth, tongue and
throat, however, were terribly burned.
Two nights later the despondent book
keeper attempted to hang himself in
his home with strong string, while
DR.. J. W. Hurt was in the house at
tending Mrs. Scott, who was i'll. This
attempt was thwarted by the sick
wife, who took the string from her
husband.
Fearing that in his insane condition
Scott would make further effort to
kill himself, his relatives decided it
best to have him committed to the
Tower on the charge of lunacy for safe
keeping
Mrs. Scott has been in i'll health for
some time and was completely pros
trated Thursday morning when inform
ed Of the tragic death of her husband.
Scott had also been sick and for
some time it had been noticed that he
was very morose. He had his savings
in the Neal bank and the failure of
this institution aggravated his condi-
ton. He continued to grow worse
and the worry over his own illness of
his wife and the loss of his money
finally unhinged his reason.
Scott hanged himself with a belt
taken from his overcoat, a pocket
handkerchief, and a piece of cloth,
torn from his underclothing. He splic-
ed these, and, fastening one end of
the improvised rope to the upper bunk
in his cell, made a moose on the other
end and placed it about his neck. 1t
is supposed that he then lay down on
the lower bunk and slowly strangled
to death.

for Arrest of Man Who Negect Family

The attention of the police was called
to most pitiful case of poverty and
neglect when Officer HanIOn was sent
to investigate the condition of Mrs.
Ben. Huckelburg, 4O7 Thornton ave-

becomes of his family.
He VIII BE Arrested.
Chief of Police Rimbach stated today
that he would have a warrant issued
for his arrest on the charge of nom
support and it is likely that Ben. Huck-
elburg will be arrested before the day
is over and will be brought to the po-
lice station where he will be compelled
to give an account of himself.
When Officer Hanlon went to the
Huckelburg place Of residence he found
revolving condition of affairs The
door to the basement where Mrs. Huck-
elburg and her five little children live
was standing open for the reason that
it is impossible to close it, except from
within. There were cracks in the
walls where the cold wind whistled
through and the partition in the partly
underground apartments were OF
matched boards.
All of the food in the house con-
sisted of a pot of beans which one OF
the neighbors gave the poor woman. Il
is understood that she and her little
children would have suffered greatly by
the cold if it had not been for the fac,
that some of the officials of the Erie
Coal Storage plant gave her a supply
