TWO LIFE TERM CONVICTS
ESCAPE IN MONROE co.

FORSYTH GA, Aug. 15.-Sherif T.
S. Holland has Just returned from an
unsuccessful hunt for two white con-
victs serving life sentences, who made
their getaway from the guards at the
Monroe county convict camp.
Choosing a time when the superin-
tendent was at home sick, one Of the
guards was having a good time at In
dian Springs and a third guard was alb
sent with another body of convicts, Jim
Harrison and Jeff Turner sent up from
Spalding county, asked permission to
rest in the shade of some bushes by the
roadside and escaped into the woods.
Unable to leave the large band of con-
victs, it was impo. sible for the guards
to give immediate chase. Although the
sheriff and the commissioners, with the
aid Of the county's dogs, have been
securing the surrounding country, no
trace of the escapes has been found.

to accompany her, Mrs. Hutcheson hur-

the bridegroom and where an affection

NEW YORK, Aug 15.-Thomas O.

and fried It, Then he called In his
neighbors and Mrs. Seabrooke to par

that the actor was a great cook as wei
as an excellent fisherman.

IT'S Wonderful, lis Nice, This
FIoridian Paradjse-Pastor-
Poet and Bride Say So.

Rev. William Lee Popham, poet and
lover, who recently was detained in du-
rance vile by the unsympathetic police
force of Atlanta because Of certain dis
crepancics in signing his and his brides
names to d hotel register, and who,
therefore, was forced to bare the ro-
nance of his life to the world. the flesh
and the devil. has at last found the
proper environment for his untram-
meled soul with all It's ramifcations.
Rev. Popham married a Kentucky
girl but it was not until their arrest
in Atlanta that the fact Of their mar
rage. together with several of his
choicest poems, came to light.
In a lengthy communication, received
today by The Georgian, he tells of
having found a perfect place for the
making Of a lovers paradise This
new Eden is on the Attire river, just
ten miles from Tampa, Fla, Here will
he live with his wife

ON of Mother Earth and gently slopes
its round banks into a beautiful flower
bedecked brook, and this brook winds
it's timid way through clusters OF dog
wood and magnOlias to the Attire river.
Going further, he tells Of the many
delights of the woodland bower-of its
many advantages. celestial floral, fau
nal exotic. neurotic and tommyrotic.
In phrases laden with the honey dew
of poesy, he tells Of his future plans.
The Rev Mr. Popham is now on a lee
ture tour through Georgia, but shortly
will abandon this and give his time ex-
clusively to romance.
Yes, Yes, Go On
MY wife is a mermaid" he cOnfded
in his letter-and then, speaking for
himself. and we like the water, for all

chosen to build our nightingale nest for
two, and in the beautiful solitude Of
the woodland and beneath the spread

with the brook and float with the tide;
and in the moonlight and starlight and
summer afternoons our boat will rock
us to slumber, and our dreams will be
written in both story and rhyme; and
our heart beats will be felt in the

sweet voice we hear in the cleaning,
which gives us new inspiration to write
the messages of our heart. We hear
