Columbus, o., Nov. 23-A perfectly
new engine of the latest model, but
hoodooed!
This is the misfortune of the Penn
sylvania railway.
The crew that was ordered to take
out No. 8, Tuesday morning, refused
to board the steel monster, and it
stands silent and fireless in the round
house, all because of the hoodoo.
This is the reason.
The engine is one of five purchased
by the Pennsy in one order.
No. "a, No. S5, No. 36, and No. 81
have all met with serious accidents,
and as these accidents occurred in the
order Of the numbering, no wonder
the crew of No. 3S decided that discre-
tion is the better part of yalor.
No. "a was the first one taken out
on the road and after few trips it
ran into an open switch near Indian
apolis. The fireman was killed and the
engine so badly damaged that 1t had
to be taken to the shops for repairs,

NEED
OF A Theatre In Mt. Vernon
Again Demonstrated

Col. Hunt informs the public
through the columns of this paper
that he sees in the condition of the
Park theatre last evening the greater
necessity of good theatre building
for Mount Vernon for winter enter
tainment.
A fair audience was in attendance
to witness the production of st. e.
mo by the Proctor Co., but it was i'm.
possible to get the house warm. The
fires had been lighted all day, but the
stoves were out of order and the audi
torium was full of gas when the doors
were opened in the evening, and fires
had to be turned out in order that the
patrons might stay to witness the per-
formance. While the management
could secure such attractions as Sis
Hopkins, The Melting Pot, with Wal
ter Whitesides, The Roundd Up, What
Every Woman Knows, and AL G.
Fields Minstrels, nothing more will
be presented at this house until it can
be placed in proper order and made
comfortable for the public.

Prayer Meeting Is Held In
MdftinSburg

The prayer meeting of the Bladens-
burg Presbyterian church, Rev. Ozro
R. Newcomb, pastor, which was held
last week at the Martinsburg parson-
age, was so unique as to deserve spec
iaI mention.
In the first place, the prayer meet
ing was notable in size, considering
the distance, 50 being present from
Bladensburg, some miles to attend.
In the second place the Bladensburg
people brought to the prayer meeting
oysters, cake ETC., and after the pray
er service enjoyed an oyster supper
together.
Third, beside what was needed for
the oyster supper, they brought things
innumerable to leave with the pastor
and his wife-four, potatoes, canned
fruit, chickens, etc.
1t is needless to say that the pastor
and his family consider it one of the
best prayer meetings they ever attend

To Save DR.. MCNaughtOn
From GallOWS

Columbus, Ca, Nov. 23-Argument

a new trial in the case of DR.. w. J.
McNaughton, who was recently con-
victed at Swainsboro and sentenced
to death for the alleged murder of
Fred Flanders, a pominent planter Of
Emanuel county. The case has already
attracted much attention throughout
this section of Georgia and the out
come of the efforts to save the con-
demned man from the gallows is
awaited with keen interest.
The death of Flanders occurred ear
| ly last June and was thought at the
time to be due to natural causes. But
the conduct of the widow and DIR. Nc
Naughton, who had been a boarder in
the Flanders home aroused public sus-
picion and few days after burial the
remains of the dead man were exhum-
ed. A chemical examination is said
to have disclosed the presence of ar
senic in the stomach. The physicians
and Mrs. Flanders were indicted ON q
charge of murder. The former was
convicted and sentenced to hang De.
cember o. Mrs. Flanders was granted
a separate trial.

MONUMENT
70 OglGthOrpG Was Unveiled
Today

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 23--Amid the
enthusiastic denominations of a great
concourse of people, the handsome
monument erected in memory OF Gen.
James Edward Oglethorpe, the found
er Of the colony Of Georgia, was un-
yelled today. The ceremony OF un-
yelling occurred in Chippewa Square,
where the memorial to the celebrated
English soldier and colonizer has been
erected. Surrounding the monument
we're great stands to accommodate the
many officials and guests invited to
take part in the exercises. Included
among the latter were several promi-
nent members of the British embassy
at Washington and official representa-
tives Of the States of Georgia, Flori.
da, and South Carolina.
The exercises were preceded by a
brilliant military pageant. In the pro-
cession were sailors from the cruiser
Birmingham, two battalions of the
Seventeenth Infantry from Fort Nc
Pherson, a squadron of the Eleventh
Cavalry from Fort Oglethorpe, three
companies of coast artillery from Fort
Screven and several regiments Of the
National Guard of Georgia.
The monument consists of an impos.
ing pile of marble surmounted by a
bronze statue of Gen. Oglethorpe de-
signed by Daniel French. The entire
cost of the memorial was in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, which was sub
scribed by the state of Georgia, the
city of Savannah and several patri-
otic societies.
Gen. James Oglethorpe, in honor of
whose memory the monument has
been erected, came to America in 1873
to found colony of Protestants, with
special view to providing for young
men just starting in life and with no
influence or property. With 80 fam
lilies he landed in South Carolina,
where he left the colonists while he
explored the country between Caro-
lima and Florida. This section was
claimed by both England and Spain,
but Oglethorpe made purchase from
the Creek Indians, from that portion
that is now Georgia, and founded the
colony and town that it now the
city of Savannah 1t was George
II. who granted the patent for found
ing the colony and it was named for
him.
Aside from his career in America
the life of Oglethorpe was full of pic
! turesque incidents. Born in the reign
of William i'll. in 1898, he knew many
of the famous men of the next cen
tury intimately. He began his SER
vice as a soldier under Marlborough,
and was an aide of Prince Eugene in
his war aginst the Turks. He sat
many years in parliament and was dis
tinguished in society and as friend
of letters. He lived long enough to
see the success of his American col
ony, his death occurring at his home
in England in 1885.

Case Against Home insurance
Go. Before Jury
Is Commenced In The Court
Of Common Pleas

Columbus, o., November 23-The
last vestige Of hope of selling nonin-
toxicatiDg malt liquor in dry territory
in Ohio vanished yesterday before a
decision of the Supreme court, which
held that it was unlawful to do so.
The question came to the Court up
on appeal from Fulton County. There
the common pleas court had fined Aug
ust Walder for having sold near
beer"
The Circuit Court of the district re-
versed the common pleas court be-
cause the county local option act pro-
hibits apparently the sale of "intoxo-
eating" liquor, which, it was claimed
by the attorneys for Walder, the stuff
he sold was not. An appeal was then
taken by the state of Ohio from this
second finding, and yesterday the Su-
preme court, with Judge Shauck dis
stnting, upheld the original judgment
of the common pleas court.
MS is JHS ldnSudSe VI JuuSe IliCe,
who prepared the finding of the court:
1T is unlawful to sell malt liquor to
be used as beverage in county of
this state where the county local op-
tion law is in force. whether such malt
liquor is, in fact, intoxicating or non
intoxicating. Such is the effect of Sec
tion Three 49, of said enactment,
which declares that the phrase Gin
toxicating liquor" as used in this act,
shall be construed to mean any dis
titled, malt, vinous or any intoxicating
liquor whatever See SO o. L., 35.
