"ADVIsER" PADGETT INDICTED.

Atlanta, Sept. 2S.-The Fulton
county grand jury paid little atten-
tion TO the spiritual advisement" of
Rev. b. l.. Padgett, holiness"
preacher, yesterday, but indicted him
on two counts.
Sixteen-year-old Carrie Stockton,
of Kings Mountain, N. c., was the
principal witness in the case against
Padgett, and 1t was chiefly on her
story that the indictments were re-
turned. The preacher and the girl
were arrested together at the Palace
Hotel, In this city, several months
ago. At the hotel they we're regis
tered as uncle and niece.
N. F.. Mcmillan, attorney for the
girls father, whose home is in Kings
Mountain, was bitter in speaking of
Padgett, saying that he had not only
run away with the Stockton girl, but
had also disrupted his flock in Kings
Mountain by affairs with other
women.
According to the story told by the
girl, Padgett forced her to leave
home, threatening her with death If
; she revealed anything, and made a
tour of South Carolina, finally COM
ing to Atlanta, where they were final
/ ly arrested after residing at three
hotels in six days.
Padgett is well known through
; the Piedmont section of South Caro-
! lima.

Farewell to the Old Roller Towel.

Farewell to the Old Roller Towel.
(New York Globe.)
The roller towel Of the past has har-
kened 20 the call;
No more it leans its grimy length
against the dusty wall.
Though still it is found here and
there in isolated spots,
Cultivoting festive microbes in heap
ing carload lots.
The law has sounded "taps" for 1t
and it has seen its day,
Some one will bring pair Of tongs
and carry it away.
How well do | remember the old
roller towel of yore,
Ont in the farmhouse kitchen, just
inside the outside door!
A basin stood beneath it and the
kitchen pump close by,
And when the dinner horn would
blow the hired man would fly.
He'd splash some water on his face
and In his place led climb,
And the old towel on the door would
have some added CRIME.
On lonesome days and homcsick days
and days when we were sad
Where shall we turn for things Of old
to make our bosoms glad?
Where shall we then discover by
rrhiOp far and nnor
The dear old things we loved Of yore,
which now are gone from here?
Where shall we find a roller towel
to absorb our tears
After it's wiped some gritty necks,
soilcd hands and glimy ears?

A Wide Step.
(Greenyille PiedmOnt.)

\HiSSIfIiS i lSuulOHl.J
The announcement from Washing
ton that the United States govern
ment is planning TO begin an active
fight against the lrcaded pellagra is
most gratifying. 1t is surprising that
this step has not been taken sooner,
since this disease, many months ago,
became scourge.
This disease, which is compara-
lively new in this country has thus
far completely ban!ed the physicians,
the exact cause having never been
ascertained. Gradually the diseases
which alilict mankind have been sub
dued by medical science and sooner
or later pcllagra will be mastered.
There should not be, however, any
more delay than is absolutely neces-
sary, for each week has seen the
number of victims of the dreaded dis
ease increase.
There must be cause for pellag-
IA and 1t has evidently come into
existence in this section within the
past six or seven years, for prior to
that time the disease was not heard
of. If the government health off,
cials begin a rigid search for this
cause we believe that they will dis
cover IT. Pellagra is much more to
be dreaded than the hookworm, yet
greater efforts have been expended to
stamp out the latter than the former

Testimony for Judge Estele
from Attorney T. J. Mahoney

The following statement has been made
by T. J. Mahoney in fairness 10 Judge
Estelle
Il am not In sympathy with certain
things that have been sad against Judge
Estelle By some OF the gentlemen with
whom ] had the pleasure Of cooperating
during the activities Of the civic fedora
ton. ! have known Judge Estele In
timately for more than twenty-five years
aud / can recall no act OF his in public
or private which would justify tho
charge that he has any leaning toward
gamblers or other law-break kers Neither
do / think Il fair 10 say that he is allied
with the interests. The largest Judgment
and 1 think also the second largest. ever
entered in our district court against a
corporation on account OF an injury TO
an individual was entered by Judge Es-
telle
There have undoubtedly been instances
in which Judge Estelle's rulings have
sustained the contentious OF corporations.
and even Of criminals; but he has shown
no unwillngness to rule against them.
Each party to an action has some rights
that the court should protect. John Mar
shall, the patron saint of the American
judiciary. made a very unpopular ruling
when he saved tho life OF Aaron Burr,
whom the whole country believed TO be
traitor Roger b. Taney called down
upon himself the execration OF many good
people by his opinion in the Dred Scott
case. Yet the judgment OF history is that
these great jurists respected the iimlta-
tions upon their authority, and simply
