Twenty minutes later, the twelve
men filed in once more. and. amid a
strained silence the foreman announced
the verdict:
I'VE find the defendant not guilty"
A few friends of Camp. including his
lawyers, rushed to congratulate him,
but the officer himself took 1t all with
remarkable stolidity.
q had no idea said Camp to a
Georgian reporter, that would be con-
victed. l was confident all the time that

Hand, president of the American Civic
association. after he had finished tour

The chief faults of Atlanta. accord

The city was planned before a single
house was built and the residents have

Make Raid on Old Town

Three deputy sheriffs from Standpoint
descended on Old Town last Sunday and
proceeded to rubber after violators of
the law. The landladies of three of the
resorts were served with papers to ap-
pear before Probate Judge Bunde, to
answer for alleged violations of the
liquor law. They gave bonds for their
appearance at Standpoint.
James Dougherty was also served
with papers, charging him with similar
offenses, and went to Standpoint with
the officers to make answer.
Deputy Sheriff Riser and assistants
seized two slot machines belonging to
non-residents on Monday that had been
operating in Old Town. 1t is understood
that they will be destroyed.
It is stated that spoilers, working in
the interest of the opponents of the
liquor interests, have been working in
Old Town ever since the county granted
the license to Dougherty, and that the
arrests were made on the information
they secured.
In regard to the above, the Chronicle
reported that VIM. Vane furnished $500
cash bond for the appearance of each
of the women. Mr.. Vane denies this
report and says the women put up their
own money.

DIVORCE EVIL

Dr. SCuddcrs series of sermons at
Central Union church ON divorce"
was continued yesterday. His sermon
yesterday first depicted the effects Of
divorce ON social life. and later turned
into u vigorous statement Of reasons
why the church should not sanction
marriages Of divorced persons He
said In part:
"Thc family Is the foundation stone
Of the state Where this tottcrs the
State falls. our century only rein
forces the historic axiom that the dis
Indignation OF the home means the dis

Now. divorce disrupts the family
hence it IL a grave social menace. What
shall the State do about II? The lcgIs-
latures Of our American common
wcalths give various answers. South
Carolina refuses divorce on any
ground New York grants It only for
adultery. Other States almost incor-
porate free divorce into legal practise.
Given the ideal, then, the Church's
duty H. to cXalt II. Shall II by its
teaching cXalt the ideal of marriage
as an indissolublc union and by its
practise of remarrying divorced per-
sons whose former partners survive
deny that ideal? The duty of the
Christian Church Is absolutely clear. 1t

THE PHILATELIST
PAST and PRESENT

The collecting of stamps Is again
considered the proper caper in the
fad and hobby line quite number
Of years ago the world simply went
mad, 50 tn speak, over the fad Of
collecting old postage stamps. At
that time II was fad, and In "A short
time II had run It's course and had
died out except with few who made
Il living from the work. Now 1t has
been revived, but under more sclen-
titic principles, with societies formed
for the sole object OF carrying the
collecting business along the highest
plane, In this respect the following
may be Of interest:

SIMPLE GOWNS ARE POPULAR
Rely More on Taste Displayed Than
on Ornamentation, Elaborate
or Otherwise.

Some of the prettiest little dresses
seen recently were either in cache
mire de sole, foulard or crepe de chine.
and they were 80 very simple that 1t
will be difficult to describe them. one
was in black cachemire de sole looped
up at the sides Just above the height
of the knees, with narrow shiny
leather belt at the waist. half cherry
colored, half black. and fastening the
corsage across the bust. from shoul-
der to waist, line of buttons that
looked like cherries. The low neck
was turned back by very good lace
collar, and transparent guimpe filled
up the decolette.
Another equally simple frock was In
blue crepe de chine with chi1on pan
niers and waterfall back. The corsage
had a quite low waist line and was
full about the bust and under the
arms. A collar and revers of Milan

as In the other dress. The sleeves
were quite long and tight. with lace
frills, and the waist belt was Just a
fold OF the material hanging In fat
ends on one side.
1t Is said with good authority that
we are surely drifting toward the
wasplike waist, and the news is sad.
for, what with very high heels and
wasplike waists, we shall certainly
store up many evils for ourselves in
the way OF poor health.

SMALLER HATPINs COMING IN
Arc Now Seen In Moderate sixe and
Modified Form, Of Gold, Silver
and Coral.

From the extremely large hatpins
of the past season there has been a
gradual return to those Of more con-
venient shapes and sizes. Both the
long, narrow pins and the broad. nat
pins have been entirely deposed by
the pins of moderate size and modified
form.
Hatpins with heads quite round,
disk shaped. or Of small ellipses and
pear shapes are in highest favor. and
many beautiful new designs and com
binations of materials are to be seen
in the fashionable jewelry shops.
Here is one OF heavy gold. In that
rich old-gold color. set with fiery
green tourmalines that dance and
sparkle in the light. Another is set
with a stud Of pink coral that is al
most covered by the inclosing gold,
the stone showing through the open
work pattern of the metal.
Lovely pins there are in silver, too.
One of these holds a piece of tur-
quoise matrix that Is Of remarkable
beauty, and another has a most dis
tinctive note in its deep-toned lapis-
lazuli.
