Governor Broum Has, Apparently,
Made a Mistake, i'm the Matter
of the Chattanooga Land

Editor G. r. Pendleton, of the Macon Teze-
graph, is generally SO careful in stating facts
that [ took, without question, his version of
the Chattanooga land controversy.
But Hon. J. j. Slade, of Columbus, has
submitted certain documentary evidence
which has about convinced me that the Teze-
graph is IN error.
Without the remotest intention of "attack-
ing" the Governor; and solely for the pur-
pose of keeping our readers posted, beg to
say that, apparently, the Chief Executive
blundered in not purchasing the Chattanooga
property.
G) The diagram published in the Teze-
graph and copied into the Atlanta Constitu-
ton is incorrect. There is>an alongside juno
ton of 500 feet fronting on the Western Gssd
atlantic Railroad, of the 1712 acre lot with
the Others Therefore, no hold-up is posi-
BILE. There IS no Intervening land on the Rail-
road front.
(2) No matter what may have been Judge
Longley's intention, the Governors discretion
related to nothing but the 17115-acre tract.
The Judge did not draft that part of the law:
Hon. Hooper Alexander did it.
(3) It is clear to my mind that the only
trouble about the matter, last September, was
the Governors belief that there was no money
available for the purchase I have seen copy
VI 1oICcI 1TOLl nun W hooper AleXdnUoT III
which he made that statement.
az [ think that the near-beer fund could
have been used in making the purchase.
(5) It seems to be fact that the Governor
relied on the advice of the Attorney General
and it seems equally clear that Mr.. Alexander
demonstrates that the Attorney was
in error.
(6) Altogether the symptoms OF the case
indicate perfectly beautiful little fight when
the Solons and the Sages of the Georgia
Legislature assemble themselves together for
the regular Summer session.
(O Yes: the frost has hardly left us, but
h-ll is breaking loose again in Georgia. Oh
what a red-headed, Irish-wake time we're 60
ing to have!
(8) What a pity it is that [ am under
heavy bond to keep the peace. Out of con-
sideration for my bondsmen, [ just can't do
thing to anybody Glorious scrapping is
going on, everywhere and I just have to stay
at home and 'behave"
It's awful to be under peace bond.

Men and Brethren, What Do You
Think of This?


At Little Rock, Arkansas, is published a
religious paper known as The Baptist Ad-
U02lce.
It's Editors are E. j. A. Mckinney, A. 2.
Scoield, A. H. Autry and j. H. Searcy.
It has separate department edited by Mrs
Mckinney. At the top of her page, appears
conspicuously notice of the Woman's Mis-
slonary Union. So [ guess the advance has
diaphragm agonies over the heather, chronic
with these cranks.
On Mrs McKinney's luminous page one
finds the following knock at Yours Truly,
and boost of Coca Cola
"DON'T LET THE KNOCKER INSULT YOUR
INTELLIGENCE.
"Of course you have met the knocker, the chron-
lc, hysterical knocker, who always grees you with
his tales of abuse of people and things He is the
wholesale dealer in scandals insinuations and
falsehoods
Every sef-respecting man and woman owes it
as duty to society to silence the knocker
every possible occasion Life is too short to be
wasted in listening to scandals and falsehoods
+ about our friends and neighbors.
Here is the way to silence ONE knocker. The
next time you hear any one say that Coca-Cola
contains dope, ask him if he ever heard of the
Pure Food law. If he says yes, then give him the
laugh. If he says no, explain to him how that it
is absolutely impossible for any food or drink
containing dope to be marketed under the law
passed by the Federal Congress on June 80, 1906,
and effective since January 1, 1907. Coca-Cola
has always been the most delicious and refresh
ing temperance drink absolutely free from any
thing that could injure the most delicate child.
eff the knocker hasn't sense enough to the
point when you explain the Pure Food law to him,
then tell him to write to the Coca-Cola Company,
Atlanta, Ca, for free copy of Truth About
Coca-Cola Possibly that will open his eyes and
close his mouth.
wonder if this good lady realizes the folly
of her remarks about the Pure Food law. She
might just as we'll say that, because the stat
utes forbid stealing, there are no thieves Or,
because there are laws against rape and muir
der, nobody violates them.
''Give him the laugh?" Well, hardly. If
any one has provoked derision, it's the Editor
who argues that the Pure Food law is uni
versally obeyed.

Playing Cards.

One who has given the study of the
history of cards much attention states
that it is not true that cards were in
vented to aInuse Charles VII. of
France when he lost his reason on &C
count Of i severe sunstroke. This was
in 1903, and he claims that cards were
invented many years prior to this. An
edict prohibiting the use Of cards was
published by John /. of CASTLE in
1887, and in 1854 the English parlia-
ment forbade their Importation
The pack consisted at various times
Of thirty-six cards forty-eight among
the Germans, who omitted the aces,
and the Spaniards, who had no ten
spots, and finally f1fty-two. Cards
were long known as the ''book of the
four kings" They were also called
quarters, having reference to the four
suits, and from this, it is supposed,
came the word cards in English.
Cards were first brought to America
by the Spanish discoveries. There is
an old legend that Columbus or the
night before he made the land kept
himself awake by gaming, and Here
IA relates that when MOnteZuma was
made prisoner by Cortes in 1919 he
took great pleasure in seeing the
Spanish soldiers play at cards.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

A WOMAN IN THE CASE.

John W. Kastler of Chicago, trust
ed employee who handled large sums
of money, embezzled $1,000 and ran
away
The detectives began looking for ''the
woman in the case"
There was woman in the case.
1t was Mrs. Kastler.
She knew nothing of her husband g
theft, though, according to Kastler,
she was the unconscious cause Of it.
Kastler said: 81 don't know why I
took the money except that / wanted
my wife to have all she needed, and
salaries go such little way toward
comfort these days. Of course new
er dreamed at first but what 1 could
replace the money.
ITO think that | have brought all
this disgrace upon the woman l loved
so wellt' moaned Kastler in his cell.
Let him further tell the story:
Eat first / thought of ending it all,
but couldn't commit suicide with the
vision of my true, loving wife before
me constantly, so / resolved to return
home and seek her advice"
What did she advise? Just what
you might expect
81 told hcr all about it, and she de-
clared Immediately that we must tell
my employers the truth"
Besides, in the face of the known
consequences of such confession, Mrs
Kastler also said:
1.-THE bond between US is stronger
than ever. We love each other with
a never failing affection, and now is
the time when he needs me- Most as
suredly l will stick to him closer than
ever
Out of the depths of his disgrace
Kastler may yet count himself fortu-
nate man!
To possess the love and sympathy
and helpfulness of such a noble wo-
man is, in The face of sore affection.
to be greatly blessed.
Woman IS still the keeper of the.
worlds keenest conscience
Instinctiyely she sees the right
course of action. There are no quib-
bles in her moral thinking She nat
urally cuts across lots to the right con-
clusion
And as she sees the right thing to do
she is apter to do it than man. She
may well know that it leads inevita-
bly, to suffering. and here also she is
stronger to endure than a man.
Detectives tell US that in almost ev-
cry case of a crime there is a woman
in the case, the implication being that
the woman is necessarily bad wo-
man. That is not true.
There was indeed a woman in the
case of john y. Kastler. but she was
woman with a conscience
