EXCELSIOR MINISTRIES MAKE
 A HIT.
 The Excelsior Minstrels gave an entertainment in Nichols Opera house, Friday evening, for the bene- fit of the Elmwood chapel fund. There was a we'll filled house and the audience was kept in a gaze of laughter through the entire evening. The affair was great success finan- cially and otherwise. A temporary stage and stage setting were provid cd for the entertainment. rnfs, were the work of Alfred Bevans and showed great skill and ingenuity. When the curtain arose it showed the members of the troupe seated on the deck of a ship anl Capt 1 w. Andrews in full uniform tt the wheel steering and incidentally act ing as interlocutor. Tho end men, A. E. Bevans and Geo~ Barnum, made plenty of fun with their Jokes, which they cracked at the expense of many in the audience. Thes , caused great merriment, especially when a good hit was made. The oth- CT colored men, si.' In number, sang popular songs They were Frank Hue, Harold Hue, Hollis Elzea, J. w. Mulvihill, Arthur Tope and Earl Johnson. After the musical part of the program the Riley Brothers, two small colored lads, in natty suits, gave a good exhibition of singing and dancing. The banjo solo by Mrs F. N. Barrell and singing by Miss Alice Hobby of Maryland were most pleasing. hollis nIzea gave a droll monologue and he and his brother gave fine exhibition of dancing. Robert Fox gave violin solo in an excellent manner and Prof Weiss of New York delighted the audience with his cornet solo. Prof. Weiss is cornetist in one of the New York Churches and certainly was one of the best players ever heard in Bethel. The program was closed by a mixed comedy act, given by A. E. Bevans and J. Mulvihill, in which MT Bevans showed his skill as an artist. MT Mulvihill sang while Mir Bevans sketched a song of The Old Farmhouse. The accompanies of the evening were Miss Estelle Com stock and Prof Weiss. During the evening home made candy was sold by several young ladies from a prettily decorated booth at the head of the entrance stairs. The booth was trimmed with crimson rambler roses and was the work of Miss Kate Judd.

MAN HAS TWO WIVES
BUT HE MAY GO FREE
BECAUSE OF FIRST WiFE's LAUGH
AND @PA"IN LAWS REMARK.
Absence Of Five Years Without Word
or knowledge Is Cause for
Presumption Of Death.

ATLANTA, Oct. 6.--The State Court
of Appeals yesterday granted a new
trial on somewhat unusual grounds
to William Robinson, convicted of
bigamy in the Superior Court of
Lowndes county and sentenced to
serve four years in the penitentiary
The court stated that Robinson was
entitled to a new trail on the ground
that his statement was interfered
with by the action of his first wife
and by remarks made by his second
wife's father while he was on the
witness stand.
His first wife, who was Miss Cath
crime Conway, sat Immediately in
front of him and 1t is alleged during
his statement laughed loudly and in
a sneering manner. When Robinson
said he and his second wife loved
each other and would continue to live
together, her father, who was in court,
remarked:
You will never do 1t"
Robinson married Miss Conway in
1901 and in 1908 married Miss Dora
simms Of valdosta, daughter Of ordi-
nary simms Then his first wife APP
peared or the scene and prosecu-
ton for bigamy followed.
In addition to the foregoing cause
for a new trial the Court OF Appeals
practically knocks out further prosecu-
tion of Robinson unless the State can
show that within period of Eve
years Robinson heard of his first wife
or knew that she was living. II states
that an absence of FIVE years without
word or knowledge of whether hus-
band or wife is alive is sufficient to
create the presumption of death.
