Mrs. Daisy Grace
A Hunted Woman

Atlanta, March ,26,-Mrs Daisy
Grace is a hunted woman. She is
hunted day and night like wound
ed animal. Sleeping and walking
she knows that around her door,
lurking in the halls, ready to follow
at her heels wherever she may
| fly are newspaper men always on
duty, and detectives employed by
her bondsmen to prevent any effort
on her part to escape.
For her to hide from the pursu-
ers is absolutely impossible. In Or
der that she may not be moved to
some secluded place by night, re-
porters and detectives are assigned
to duty to watch at her door the
whole night through.
Although technically free on bail
she is practically just as much a
prisoner as when she spent her soil
tary hours locked mp in a cell in
a cell in the tower. The only diff
ference is that she now has train
ed nurse at her side.
The statements made by Eugene
II. Grace, in the little cottage at
Newman. with his aged mother at
his side, are beginning to have their
effect, and are winning for him a
widespread public sympathy which
heretofore has not been extended
himzeven by those who believe his
wife is guilty. Opinion i S being
powerfully swayed by the frank,
boyish statements, which seem to
show that even if he was not a par
ticularly strong or manly character,
he was at least an honest decent
chap. On the level with his friends
and on the level with his wife.

THAT Mysterious Rag

IL q wednesday ii L II Ii Z
Stephensonian Socity made plan
to hang a big pennant about twelve
feet long, high over the columns
at the front door of the Fitzgerald
High School building. But some
other watchful Laniers caught on
TO the plan. At very late hour
on that eventful night after the
Stephensonians h a d un9 their
their proud pennet small band of
Laniers stole over to the school
house and quietly took down the
brave pennent
The next morning StephenSonian
jaws had dropped abput foot, but
they said nothing however. On Fri
day evening MIR. Otis Dickinson Of
the Lanier Society presented the
Stephensonians with their pennent
and told them that he hoped they
would live to honor it From the
Psalm of Life" the following poem
was written in honor of the occasion:
Tell me not in mornful numbers
Life is but an empty dream.
For the Stephensonian is dead that
slumbers
While a Lanier takes the pennant
from the beam,
Life is real, life is earnest
And over the school house door
was the goal
Where the Stephensonians hung a
pennant
To satitfy their very soul,
Nor enjoyment and not sorrow
Is our destined end in store
But to act that each tomorrow
Find no pennant DER the door
Art is long and time is tieetine
And Stephensonians hearts are
brave
But Laniers who are Drawer
Frailed their pennant to it's grave
In the schools broad field OF battle
In the bivonce of life
Laniers are not dumb driven cattle
But, heroes in the strife.
Trust no future however pleasant
Let the dark hide its deed
Act-act in the living present
Bring the pennant to the weeds,
Smart Stephensonians all remind us
/ That we can make l.anierS do
more
| And departing leave behind us
No pennant over the school house
door
remnants that perhaps another,
Walking pa st the schoolhouse
plain
/, A determided and watchful brother
Seeing shall take down again.
Let Lanies the be up and doing
With an eye for any trick
Ever disappointing, Stephensonians
Though they be sharp and quick.
