FOR LOST LAND
Atlanta Women Seek to Regain
Property They Charge Was
Taken From Them.

Alleging that the present holders of
tho property obtained possession of it

the late James Gillespie has been
,banged by a Walton county attorney,
AIRS e T. Smith, of 81 Haden street,

"a West Harris street. and ten others
If GflIespie's grandchildren, viii begin
s,,ir in the Walton county court for the
possession of $500 acres of land in
walton. Cherokee, Oconee, Gilmer and
Marietta counties.
Between so and 40 defendants win be
named in the suit. S. Dobkin, a per-
sonal friend of the Smith and Har-
relson families. has interested himself
IN the case, and will next week go to
Walton county, with attorneys, and
look up the records to ascertain the
names of the present holders of the
property.
"The land was the property of James
Gillespie. my grandfather who died in
1851" Mrs. Smith said to-day. He
made a will leaving the property to his
wife with the proViso that the six
children should be raised and educated.
In 1885 Alex Harrison, a son-i law.
took charge of the property and by
fooGshness made away with most of it.
Some of it he gave away, and one large
tract in Walton county he sold for a
barrel of whisky. Harrison finally ran
away from his family and went to
Texas. where he died several years ago.
Then his son. c. NJ Harrison, got hold
of some of the property. and he. too,
wasted it. We know some of the people
who have obtained possession Of the
property. but my brother A. A Darby,
has made thorough search and can
find no record in any of the five coun-
ties that it has ever been legally trans

told Broadway just how far ahead of

to this man everybody is ordering it

Dispute over Memorial
.ondon Express.

From the lxOHOOIl coo.
Nothing has yet been settled in con-
nection with the erection Of a memorial
In Godalming--his native town-to Jack
Phillips, the heroic wireless operator
who went down with the Titanic, after
clinging to his post and sending out
distress signals until the last moment.
Nearly 200 has been subscribed
contributions being received from all
parts Of the British Isles and from the
United States as well--but difficulties
have succeeded difficulties with regard
to the suggested sites for the memorial,
until in the words of the town clerk,
T. p. Whately, the memorial commit
tee does not know what to do
The site first proposed was on land
belonging to the corporation. and in a
prominent position on the Portsmouth
road. But. although the corporations s
property, it is lammas or common land.
When almost all the money had been
subscribed, Mr.. Nash, one of the lam
mas owners. whose house adjoins the
proposed site. withdrew. his consent.
Much negotiation has taken place since
with regard to that and other suggested
sites. but without avail, and at meet
ing of the town council just held
further prolonged discussion took place.
The mayor. Alderman f. Bridger, said
in seeking to perpetuate such a deed
IS that of Jack Philips one expected
some sort of unanimity and spirit of
give and take, but 1t seemed as though
their path had been beset with thorns
from the very start More than -
months had elapsed, and they had not
got much further than the point from
which they started
1t seemed to him that they would
have to drop the scheme altogether,
and start an entirely new one.
mn tor tho mr.
ent. Mr.. and Mrs G. A. Phillips, par
ents of Jack Phillips, reside In the
town, and the tangle Is regarded as
particularly unfortunate

"HE family friend had brought the
poet over for little chat with the
- colonel

hHE family friend had brought the
poet over for little chat with the
\ colonel.
They sat on the colonels wide airy
porch enjoying an extensive view of one
of the handsomest avenues in Alabama
That their diversion consisted of mere
conversation, expurgated of flat bottles
and tall slim glasses, was due solely to
the unfortunate incident of Mrs. Colonel
and Miss Ophelia being at home.
The family friend had been Raging the
colonel about recent episode In which
the latter had, in his poultry ardency,
infested himself with mites
Say, Zekel'' called the family friend to
the old negro who was as usual hover
ing in the background. Did the colonel
get very mad about those mltes?"
zeke was not burdened with an undue
sense of humor; moreover he believed
strongly in upholding the dignity of him
self and his master. So after due de-
liberation he replied seriously:
"Walsuh, bout dem miteses; de kunnel
moughter bin mad, en- den ergin he
moughtn't. Dain no sputin' but whut
he cut loose little bit-en Ell L hadn ter
holt i'm back he'd a went to town en-
bruk ever one er de ten commandments.
But l holt i'm back. En- sides dat" he
continued severely, nobody neenter be
blamin' Marse Randolph. If he did git
rambuctious'
Nov will you be good?" said the
poet.
At that moment three ladies came In
at the entrance.
Callers said the colonel in low
voice.
Go and ask them in, Zeke."
But Zeke replied in stage whisper
'.Nawsuh. Miss Susan done tole me
whut ter sch. I'm gwineter tell 'um Miss
Susan en- Miss Feely dey aint at home"
And before the colonel could remon-
strate, Zeke had vanished in the direction
of the front door, and the appalling pre-
varication was fact accomplished.
by Jove. it gets my goat the way
these women tell 'em,' fumed the COL
onel. IF a woman's busy, or if she's
got a headache, why in thunder don't
she just say so instead of saying she's
not at home? The Bible says you must
say Yea, yea, and nay, nay by
Jiminyn'
The colonel grew virtuous on occasion.
"Oh, 1t isn't a case of prevaricating,

NACO, ARIZ.. March 15.-After

LECTURE ON TEETH

BENEFIT OF CHILDREN
LECTURE DESIGNED TO SHOW Eff
Feet OF, DISEASED MOUTH
or THE ADVANCEMENT OF
THE CHILD.

Recognizing that decayed teeth are
the worst enemies of health and that
number of children in school are
retarded because of teeth and gum
troubles, the Richmond Dental So
Ciety, with the active assistance of
superintendent of Schools Chandler,
has arranged for two meetings in the
John Marshall high school auditorium
to be addressed by Dr. Herbert j.,
Wheeler, of New York, on March 22d.
At $40 O'Clock in the afternoon
he win speak to the mothers clubs
and the school children and at night
he viii give an illustrated lecture be-
fore the dentists, physicians, school
officials and teachers and the general
public. His subject at both meetings
viii be "0ral Hygiene"
Importance of Subject.
Or. Wheeler is an authority on the
subject and Is much in demand as q
lecturer. On account OF other en-
gagements and the press of work as
superintendent Of oral hygiene in the
public schools of New York state he
could not appear in Richmond at any
other time than the date selected,
which is next Saturday. He knows his
subject thoroughly and knows how
to handle it in a convincing and at
traCtiye manner,
The dental society regards this sub
feet as one of the greatest Importance
and one that has been neglected to the
detriment of the welfare of the peo-
Pile and realizing that the work of
having the subject taught in Rich
mond. develops upon the dentists the
members of the society have deter
mined to undertake the work anew.
The mouth is the port Of entry into
the general system Of almost all OF the
infectious diseases, such as small
pox typhoid fever, dyphtheria, scar
let fever, tuberculosis aud score OF
others and the Importance of inform
ing the public along these lines is rec
oguized by the society and the school
authorities. The school officials en-
dorse the work of the society because
of the fact that in the school of Rich
rnond 1t is found that in the vast ma
iority Of cases the retarded children
are suffering from troubles or the
mouth of the worst kind, 1t is to edu-
cate the public and help the children
that these lectures are to be given.
