WEES LOVE LETTERS
 SLAYERS DEFENSE
Trusting Husbands Home Harbored Despoiler in
 Guise of Friend

Clarksville, Dec. 6.-Incrimin- ating love letters, alleged to have been written to pr. J. w. Mitch ell by the wife of Orville Daniel, prominent business man, are to play an important part in the de. fense of the latter, who is charg- ed with murder for having slain the physician Sept. II. Daniell will go on trial during the term of court which opened here this morning. His defense will be the "unwritten law"
 Daniels story on the witness stand will be that of the trusting husband whose home harbored a despoiler, who in the guise of a friend and with the opportunities afforded by his occupying room at Daniell's home, gradually usurped the husbands place.
 Daniell's eyes were opened, according to the evidence adduc ed at the .coronor's inquest, by letters alleged to have been written by Mrs. Daniels to Dr. Mitchell, warning him to leave their home and take lodging at a hotel that she feared her hus band was becoming suspicious. In these letters the woman is said to have referred to the clan destine meetings in the physi- clan $ room.
 When these letters fell into Daniell's hands he went direct home from his drug store where

A LEGISLATURE SHOCKED
Does Not Favor Women in Georgia to
Ride Astride.

Atlanta, Ga, July 26.-Any woman in
the State of Georgia who rides astride
will become felon if the bill introduced
in the House today by Representative
Wright of Stuart County becomes a
law. The statesman from Stuart Coun-
ty never saw woman ride astride until
he came to Atlanta. He was shocked
and Mortified by the sight of a pretty
girl in divided skirts whirling along
on the back of mettlesome horse. So
he hied him to his chambers and pre-
pared this bill:
Be it enacted by the Legislature of
Georgia that on and after the passage
of this act it shall be unlawful for any
female over the age of twelve years to
ride astride any horse or mule or ass or
other animal of both sexes upon any
street or road or public highway or any
other public place within the State.
Provided, nothing in this act shall be
construed to prohibit the riding astride
of any female circus performer within
tent or other enclosure"
The measure carries fine of from
$40 to 500 or Imprisonment.
With smile Speaker Holden re-
marked: Referred to the committee on
temperance.

There died at his home in New Or

Saturday, July I'd, Col Joseph A. Chal-
aron, a Confederate soldier who was
distinguished in war and in peace. AL
ways active in business, he was ranked
with the citizenship of New Orleans
who do things. His name is associated
with many of the achievements and i'm
provements which have benefited his
comrades and his people. As one of the
Historical Committee of the Association
of the Army of Tennessee, he con-
tributed his influence in the revision of
school books, from which was eliminat-
ed the misrepresentation of the South
through a sectional prejudice of the
North.
At the breaking out of hostilities he
enlisted in the Fifth Company of the
Washington Artillery. and with his
command participated in campaigns of
Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. He
was a gentleman of the old school, that
type of men whose character was based
on honor and honesty. While agrees

was as gentle, sympathetic and loving
as woman. One by one the Old
Guard is being called away. He was
an honor TO his city and to his State.

THE COTTON CROP
Last Week Was Generally Favorable.
Conditions Improved.

The Picayune says: The past week
has been rather more favorable from a
weather point Of view for the cotton
crop than the several weeks immediate
1y preceding The hurricane off the
Texas coast, which did SO much dam
age in the neighborhood of Galveston
in its path northward brought much
welcome rain to the greater part of
Texas, where the crop had been suf-
fering from excessive heat and lack of
moisture. While the rainfall in Texas
was somewhat unevenly distributed,
there can be no denying the fact that
the rain area was pretty extensive and
the drouth has consequently been pretty
thoroughly broken,
In the central and eastern portions of
the cotton belt the weather last week
was generally favorable. There was
sufficient rainfall to serve all purposes
and enough sunshine and heat to keep
the cotton growing we'll As result,
conditions have improved although the
Mississippi valley and in the Atlantic
coast States. While farmers generally
report an Improvement, and there IS no
doubt that the higher prices have stim-
ulated extra exertions and the utiliza-
ton of much acreage that might other
wise have been abandoned to the grass
and weeds, it is generally held that the
outlook does not point at best to more
than a moderate crop.
From all portions of the South there
is but one report as to the corn crop.
1t will be the largest ever grown in this
section, and from present appearances
it is doing finely. Other grain and for
age crops also promise well.

A SALOON STORY
It Reflects on the AuthoFities Charged
With the Enforcement of the Law
and Not on Prohibition Itself


It is said there was in Shreveport re-
Gently a man who is boasting that in one
day he visited twenty one saloons in
each Of which he obtained The real stuff,
whisley and the beer which is beer
This is not disputed, bilt what does
il signify when applied to the law of
prohibition
IWo conclusions must be drawn: One
is that the law is being violated with
i1npuhity. and the other is that this in
#digidual. a representative If the brew
cry interests. was known ta the saloon
lists from whom he obtained these in
#toxicants
liis net al eptior to the
minor violations Of the law BY men en-
gagged in the traffic
The reasonable deductions from this
story have been given much prominence
in some Of the press, are that while it
was possible for this man to visit
twenty one saloons III a single day. in
which he was handed out whiskey and
beer, Of which fe drank freely, that not
one in hundred conservative citizens
we could name could obtain. from any
one of the twenty -one saloons as much
as drop of the sreal stuff" for love
or money He would be served the
near beer, which is insipid and will nau-
seate the strongest stomach unless it
is well iced.
The purpose of the proclamation that
one man visited twenty one saloons
and "fulled up on whiskey and beer is
for effect, not only in Shreveport but in
sections where the prohibition fight is
being waged against the saloon. II
bears the semblance of premeditation,
the design being to make odious the
law which would restrain the sale of
intoxicants
Practically this pretense IS no dis
credit of the prohibition law, but is a
reflection on the authorities charged ur1-
der their oaths to enforce the law.
IF it be true that whisley and beer
is SO readily obtained, then it devolves
on the officers of the law to inquire why
st is SO.
However. in this as in other instances
the stupidity of the traffic in its efforts
at demonstration that prohibition does
not prohibit, operates as boomerang
Sensible people will not be nnisled by
such tactics The traffic should devise
something more original and sensible
