GIRL SWIMMERS
TO RACE At PARK
Jennie Perkerson and Virginia
Merker Again Will Contest in
HaIf-MiIe Event.

Two more sets of swimming races
will be held at Piedmont park before
the season closes. The first is to take
place Friday afternoon and the final
on September 5, the day on which all
swimming at the lake will end for the
season.
Jennie Peterson and Virginia Mer-
ker, the two eleVen-yea -old girls who
recently raced in a mile swim, will
hold a return match of a half mile.
Jennie, who won previously, will give
Virginia a handicap of ten yards.
A free for-all race for women and
girls will be held. This will be either
% or so yards, as the majority Of the
contestants prefer. There are num-
bers of good swimmers among the wom-
en- and girls at the lake and the race
is certain to be exciting.
For the members of the United States
volunteer life saving corps three races
have been arranged. They are for %.
30 and 100 yards. The swimmer who
makes the greatest number of points in
the races Friday and in the final races
in September will receive a handsome
silver cup.
Captain Ben SChlomberg, swimming
instructor at the lake, is coaching two
teams to play water polo and soon ex-
poets to pull off a match game be-
tween the lads who are registered at
Piedmont and those from the Lake
wood division of the corps
Water polo never has been played
in Atlanta. 1t is said to be one of the
most exciting games of all water sports.
There are six players to side and a
ball about the size Of the regulation
basket ball is used. The date of the
first game will be announced soon.

people
The effect of the average summer diet
Is to Constipate even normally regular
bowels. and this results in disarranging
the entire digestive system. When the
bowels are Choked with the stomach's
refuse, Indigestion is almost sure to
follow, and the waste matter that
should pass out through the bowels,
not finding passage, feTments in the
stomach and the poisons are forced into
the blood causing much distress and
often serious illness
To keep the bowels free. there is no
more effective remedy than DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. This is a pleas
ant-taStng bowel stmulant and IaXa-
tive tonic that is very gentle in it's
action. bringing relief in an easy. nat
ural manner. and without discomfort.
spoonful Of Syrup Pepsin will quickly
check summer diarrhoea by cleansing
the bowels and removing the foreign
matter that irritates and infames the
tissue. 1t is sold in drug stores for

BRIDEGROOM A CAPTIVE
WHILE WIFE PAID BILLS

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-Harry Moge
was a captive all night at Fulton hall,
Is Avenue B, while his wife borrowed
money to pay their wedding expenses.
The wedding celebration was a gay one
and the 200 guests had the time of their
lives. Moge started in to pay for the
carriages, when he discovered that
money he should have had in his peck
ct had disappeared. William WaIdron
took Moge's watch and chain as securi-
ty.
A hurried consultation followed and
it was decided that the bride should go
to a former employer in Harlem for
money. The trip was a long one, and
when she arrived the friend did not
have his check book. So she was forced
to wait until morning to get one.

FINDS HIS RING
AFTER 81 YEARS

Special to TIE EVENING JOURNAL.
-NlDDLETOWN. Del, Oct. To-
Frank j, Pennington is the happy
possessor of a ring which he lost just
thirty-two years ago Mr.. Penning-
ton was then a young man thirty
two years of age and just married.
He lived on a farm between here and
Odessa then owned by his father, the
late Captain Samuel Pennington, but
row owned by Mr.. Pennington. The
ring was a gift to him from his wife
and was highly priced One day when
about to harness a pair of horses,
tie ring bothered Mr.. Pennington so
he took it off and laid it on the ledge
of cellar door Since that day
until last week, the ring has never
been seen. Mr.. Pennington supposed
il fell TO the cellar into some straw
and was carried to the field with the
straw
One day last week, a colored man
employed by Mr. Penington's son, w.
Lee Pennington, who now lives on the
same farm, reported that he had
found gold mine" on the farm.
When. asked about his gold mine, the
man showed the ring, on which were
the letters IF. J. T" in monogram
II was al once recognized as Mr..
Penington's long-lost ring, and very
valuable to Mr.. Pennington even If II
Is not a gold mine.
The ring is we'll preserved, the
stone in good condition and the gold
as bright as if it had been worn every
day 1t was a bit broken, but can be
easily mended.
The field where the ring was found
has been in constant use and has
been plowed many times since the
ring was lost

In SNARL
OVER HEAD
FOR PARADE
Eleventh Ward Democratic
Factions Split Over the
Question
MAY ADJUST THE
MATTER TONIGHT

Democrats of the Eleventh ward
are engaged in muddle over the
question of who shall lead parade.
That this is a vital question is APP
parent by the attitude of the Eleventh
Ward Democratic Legion, with head
quarters at No. 623 South Van Buren
street who being the Oldest organiza-
tion of its nature in the ward claims
to possess the right of leading the
street parade prior to the meeting to
be held on Friday evening, October
% On the other hand the Eleventh
Ward Democratic Club claims the
right and in order to straighten out
the matter a meeting of all clubs in
the Fifth Representative district is
scheduled 20 be held this evening at
the Tenth Ward Clubhouse No. 1923
Chestnut street In the meantime the
Legion has refused to participate in
the parade,
When il was announced that a
mass meeting was to be held, all the
clubs in the district comprising the
Tenth. Eleventh, and Twelfth wards
agreed to have a parade. Bands were
partly engaged and then came the
nuestion of what club should have
the right of line. When the question
of priority arose the Legion being an
old organization claimed it. The
Eleventh Ward Club objected and il
was decided to lay the right on the
toss of a coin. When the silver
struck, the Legion had lost their right
and they at once declared they would
not march.
This has caused a squabble and
unless the various clubs can agree
the likelihood of a parade previous
to the meeting will be remote. lr
addition to the disagreement ovei
the parade the two organizations are
bitter against one another and ar
echo Of the whole trouble may be re
hearsed at the coming election.
