ATLANTA LEADS IN REFORM.
City Fathers Call on Police to Stop
Kissing in Public Parks.

Atlanta, Ca, August 21.-Kissing
is under the ban in Atlanta. It's un-
healthy and embarrassing to those
not taking part in the exercise. A few
months ago they convicted and fined
a travelling man who kissed his wife
on the street as he arrived home
from a trip. The judge announced
that there was nothing personal in
the case, that he would have been
fined just the same had he kissed
some one else's wife.
And now they have called out the
police and the electric light company
to put a stop to reckless osculation
in the public parks. The electric
light company is to erect lights every
now and then in the parks so that the
kissing squad may catch and arrest
the awful violators of the law.
People who live near the parks say
that they are driven from their We
randas every pleasant night by the
wholesale love-making under their
very noses. So the word has gone
forth, ''No kissing goes"

Sticks by his Principles.

Atlanta, Ca, August 21.-They
have discoy cred a real Confederate
an un-reconstructed Confederate
here in Atlanta. He is Col. G. N
Saussy, of Sylvester.
Gov. Brown recently named Col
Col. Saussy a colonel on the COVER
nor's personal staff and the adjutant
general mailed the old soldier his
commission, together with the oath
of allegiance to the State Of Georgia
and the United States.
Col. Saussy made few changes in
the commission and more in the oath
He erased the word blue wherever 1t
appeared in the regulations for the
uniform and substituted the word
gray. Then he erased the oath to the
United States constitution and wrote:
81 except to the 18th, 14th, and
18th amendments. I am Confed-
crate soldier, still on parole, and
while pledged not to again bear arms
against the United States, still re-
tain the views I had when I entered
the Confederate army. I have never
taken. the oath of allegiance to the
United States and while God gives me
life I never will"

Feeds EN- Hot Potatoes.

81 had deard it said all my life
that if you want hers to lay, fee6
them pepper and other hot foo6
stuffs," said Congressman Johnson
to Spartanburg Herald representa-
tive in discussing chickens, so
concluded that hot potatoes might dc
just as well. I had an abundance o1
destroy-and last winter I took tt
baking a few in the oven of the stove
each day and feeding them to my
hens. The hens began laying last No
vember and have been laying ever
since. You can take that for what il
is worth, but 1 believe it's due to the
potatoes.

Good Work Tuesday.

To our sister counties, Abbeville
Fairfield, Lexington, Bamberg, Or
angeburg, Kershaw, Berkeley, Cal
houn and others that voted out the
dispensary, congratulations. The vot'
ers in these counties who voted out
the dispensary did fine days work
1t will never be regretted.
All of you will feel better about ii
year hence when you see the bene.
ficent effects. In Greenwood we know
how good it is and we feel good to
know that you are to get on a saner
basis in curtailing the sale of whis-
key.
Some will be sold yet and those
who have been drinking for years
will continue to get it. That part OF
it can't be helped, but you can min
imize the sale of whiskey. Blind IT,
gers can be made to come under the
yoke, if your officials are the right
kind of men and as for the revenue,
you will make money by it. The
poorer classes will save money by
it. They will not have to buy whis-
key so as to enable the towns to get
revenue from the sale of whiskey.
They will have more money to put in
to shoes, clothing, food and some to
put by for a rainy day.-Greenwood

SLAPPED HER FACE.
Because He Said She Sent Him Tn.
seemly Post Cards.

AS an excuse for slapping his
wife's face, William Schenck, OF
Cincinnati, O., said that he was the
victim of postal card mania," and
that his wife had sent the cards to
him. Judge Hoffman, of the police
court, dismissed the case and told
the wife not to send her husband any
more postal cards. The husband pre-.
sented several cards to the court. On
one was written, Call in, down and
OUT" another showed a handsome
young woman, with outstretched
arms, and underneath the picture
was printed the words, 81 don't care
if he never comes back" Another
had written on it, "Come in; the wa.
ter is f1ne.'

CASE OF SUICIDE?
Physicians Believe South Carolinian
Took Poison.

Augusta, August Pop. P. Hollo-
way, white, aged 81 years, died this
afternoon at the city hospital, and
the physicians are sure that it is
case of suicide. DR.. G. T. Horre was
called to the boarding house at 936
Broad street, where Holloway lived,
about two o'clock this afternoon and
found him in a comatose condition.
His eyes were wide open and his gen.
eral appearance caused DR.. Horne to
believe that the man had taken
opium. He was sent to the hospital
as soon as the ambulance could be
procured and died about 3 o'clock.
Mrs. Tyler Brown, who is the pro-
prietor of the boarding house where
Holloway had been living for four
months, stated tonight that Hollo-
way was a native of Gaines, S. c.,
which is small place near Green
wood. He was married to Miss
Stallworth when about FL years of
age and has son aged Is years and
a daughter II. The son is in Green
wood and the daughter is in McRae,
Ga.
Holloway was a fireman on the
Georgia railroad. Recently he went
to McRae to see his daughter and on
his return Mrs. Brown says that he
told her his daughters aunt would
not let him see her. Mrs. Brown
says that his daughter and son inher-
tied several thousand dollars each
from their mother and that on ac-
count of Holloway's drinking at
times she supposed that he was not
permitted by his daughters relatives
to see her.

and not an oar In sight. Powerless to
aid, they were forced to stand on the

tate. Rev. William Mcmahon, pastor
Of st. Bridget's Catholic church in this
city and editor Of the Catholic Uni
verse, filed petition in the United
States district court Wednesday.
The secured claims amount to $780,
925.73; unsecured claims. $371,2O7.91.
and commercial paper $1S5,918.
Father Mcmahon was a director Of
the Fidelity Funding Company OF New
York, founded by p. ]. Kieran and
which now is In the hands Of receiv-
ers. Thus 1t came about that his
name was signed to many Of the pa
pers issued by the company and for
which he now is held liable by the re-
ceivers.
The petition enumerates many notes
signed by Father Mcmahon. They are
held mostly by New York. Pittsburg
and Cleveland banks. Among the
larger secured claims cited are the
following: Carnegie Trust Company,
New York, 1881, 256.73; Guarantee Title
& Trust Company, Pittsburg, $1S5, 900;
Society for Savings, Cleveland, $685..
900; Third National bank Of Buffalo,

cuse and Buffalo.
The filing of the petition by Attor-
ney J. w. Sutphen was not entirely
surprise either in financial circles
here or to the parishioners of st.
Bridget's who had known for some
time past that the financial affairs OF
Father Mcmahon were in badly en-
tangled state owing to his connection
with the Kieran enterprises.
It was announced authoritatively
from a priest closely identified with
the affairs Of the Cleveland diocese
that the liability set forth in the petit
ton in voluntary bankruptcy made by
Father Mcmahon Is personal and that
the Catholic church property is not
involved In way that the church can
lose.
