Now let us see what his defence of Smith
amounts to:
First, he as good as admitted the Kidnap-
ping charge Virtually, he pleads the Statute
of Limitations on that. Well, let us reason
together:
Suppose man ruins girl, lives on terms
OF intimacy with her, is the father of child
by her, and then when she makes trouble for
hlm-he q church-maemaber and chow'ch-lec-
ture1-has her abducted, and dropped in
Denver, Colorado, where she has no relatives,
no friends and no source of honest livelihood
Suppose that the man who commits this
awful crime against poor woman is 81 years
old when ne perpetrates it; and suppose that
he continues to pose before the public as q
Model Of Morals and an Enamapze to the
voumg-should lapse of time be pleaded
against the profound falsity and duplicity
of character displayed in the crime against
the woman and child?
Mr.. Seeley implicitly argues that it should.
1t was long ago. and therefore the criminal
should not be punished, in any way.
But the Statute does not run against a1aa-
h7a0aUn crimes and criminals The people of
Georgia did not know that the candidate for
Governor who preached of Civic Righteous
ness had ever been guilty of kidnapping.
Now that they know it, what are they going
to do about it?
Will the Christian people of this State,
lthe Moral element, if you please) take the
Seeley view? Ind hoaU long has 1t been since
Seeley himself aOas sending negroes to the
polls, IN has automobile, to cote AGAINST Jim
Woodward, the Democratic nominee, because
1t aoas alleged that Woodward had gone
INTO THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT, to
patromise the business Of the place?
Nothing alleged against Woodward dis
closed such hideous depravity Of character as
the kidnapping of that woman and child;
and yet Seeley's defense of Hohe Smith
facility admits that the awfM accusation Is
true!
Instead of generating Smith, as he sup
posed he was doing, Seezey has simply ruined
him!
With that Kidnapping case hanging over
him, and confessed in Seeley's defence of him,
Hoke Smith will be unable to find Just
Judge to swear him in.
What!
Has it come to this-that an honorable
Judge is expected to administer the oath of
office to a Governor elect who stands mute
when accused of being the UNPUBLISHED Kid
napper of poor, helpless, wronged woman
one of the many who discovered when too
late that Hoke Smith is not to be trusted?
Judges are elective these days, and I GEN.

member the name of the Judqe aDho consents
to become a party to the inauguration of
Kadnapper Hoke.
1t may suit Mr.. New conner Seeley to have
Kldnapper for Governor of Georgia; but
we who are of the soil. and love the good
name of our dear old State, are most I'M
happy over the situation; and we think that
when Seeley found out that the Kidnapping
charge was true, he ought to have been less

At nod from Col Daubenspeck the
orderly at the door ran off to where
Cooke and the prisoner waited.
In the interval there was a general
exchange Of introductions at the
bungalow. The adjutant general of
South Carolina was in a merry mood
and began chatting Ardmore upon the
deadly character of apples found in
his orchard beyond the Raccoon.

At the end of long table Jerry

She wore, as befitting the occasion, a

She bowed coldly to Griswold,

had disappeared. Carlton was sur
prised, but wisely kept quiet about
what he had seen, and when the storm
was over the man showed him the
path from which he had wandered
the evening before. Carlton thanked
him and went on his way-not to the
home of the rich relative, but to the
constable at the nearest town. He
led the men to Ihe hut, which was
raided and it was found that the dies
for making the counterfeit money had
been put through a trap door in the
floor of the hut, which accounted for
their sudden disappearance on the
evening when Carlton first saw them.
The boy was given the $4,000 reward
for finding the counterfeiter's den
and his father soon grew strong and
well on the nourishing food which they
were now able to buy for him. Your

was about a foot square. The old
man put the money in a bag and put
it down the hole. Then he put board
over it, and then some dirt.

GAMES AND THE UNFIT

The usual summer warnings have
been printed for bathers and tnose go
ing out in boats who cannot swim. Dr.
Woods Hutchinson has in the current
outing a message for those who try TO
play athletic games when they are
unfit. A boy, for instance, is a little
weak after a mild attack of an in
fectious fever. pneumonia, influenza or
tonsilitis, and his heart is beating
faster and more violently than 1T
should on exertion. But the team
wants him or he wants record, or
both, and away he goes into training.
Suddenly one day the heart can no
longer drive on it's overload of blood
and down goes the runner or oarsman
in an attack of heart failure"-and attn
letics gets all the discredit. The same
danger lies when there is no training,
the sport being purely informal; it lies
also where the girl just convalescent
persists in taking part in long an
.ticipated dance. Only that phase OF
common sense which is manifested in
common prudence is necessary to avoid
such perils.
