Our Nemesis

A long time ago sanctimonious
person in shiny Prince Albert and a
celluold collar slipped up behind us
when we we're not looking and got our
signature 10 contract for an encyclo'

TO encyclopedias was somewhat vague
and we did not know exactly whether
II was something to ride, a SECOND
cousin to the bicycle. as ii were, or
something 10 eat. 1t turned out TO be
a series OF volumes containing uniyer'
sale information. 1t told everything
from How TO Remove Grass Stains
from White Duck Trousers" TO What

It. has been a very use'nl work. We
have been able 10 use sections OF II to
prop M sofa that had los ono OF its
legs AMI various other sections to
place on dining room chairs 10 pro-
MI various small branches of our fam
iIy Tree who have visited us on feast
days. In this respect an Encyclopedia
cannot be eXrellrd. one volume makes
the chair right for child OF ten
wears. two volumes for a child of six
Years and three volumes Eor child OF

The professor has found much evidence In the
Bible and scriptural works to support his theory
In the Book of the Maccabces, part of the
Apocrypha highly valued by religious writer's,
he found a reference to a substance called
"naphtha" The book states that when the Jews
were taken into Persia the priest Neemias found
a liquid on the altar. and when the sun shonc il
took fire. The book adds "And Ncemias called

Miss Nancy Leishman Becomes
Bride of Karl of Croy, Hun
garian NobIeman.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
GENEVA, Oct. 27.-In direct de-
fiance of Emperor William of Ger
many, Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria and the high and powerful
house of Croy, Miss Nancy Leish-
man, daughter of John G. A Leish-
man, a former steel partner of An
drew Carnegie in Pirtsburg, was mar
ried to-day by a civil ceremony to
Karl, thirteenth Duke of Croy, and
descendant of Hungarian Kings.
The ceremony was conducted by
Mayor Marc Peter of the village of
Versois, five miles from Geneva. The
simple form took only five minutes
while the bridal couple and the at
PENDANTS stood in the rough, unpaint-
ed, upholstered room of the Mayors
executive quarters"
The marriage to-day of another
American heiress into one OF the old
est and noblest houses of Europe
raises an international question of
rights and heritage.
The marriage, which will be fol-
lowed by a religious service. con-
Quoted according to the Roman
Catholic ritual in st. Joseph's Church
here tomorrow, probably will be
recognized as a union of equals in
all countries save Austria, However,
it is believed that the members of
the House of Croy, who are won over
to the side of the young couple. will
be able to lift the Austrian ban final
ly But it will be some time before
the brides station is actually estab-
ished.
Miss Leishman. formerly q Protest
ant, became Catholic six months ago
in preparation for her marriage to the
Duke, who belongs to one of the
strongest Catholic families in Europe
This match is an old fashioned ro-
nance, as the Duke has an income of
100000 a year from his German es-
tates.
The bridal party drove from the
National Hotel to Versois in twelve
automobiles, and Immediately after
Miss Leishman wore a velvet gown
trimmed with chincnilla, and had a
muff and hat to match. Her only
iewelry was a sapphire ring Mrs.
Leishman wore a blue tailor made
street gown. Countess Gautaud Biron
wore a velvet walking skirt and a
moleskin Jacket.
The Duke of Croy and Mr.. Leish-
man both wore business sack suits
and derby hats.
a dinner will be given to- night
at the National Hotel for the we'd
ding guests.

MRS. KING PINS
HOPE ON HER
OWN STORY
Woman, on Trial for Completely in
Husbands Death, Only Wit
ness for Defense.

MACON, Oct. 27.-Mrs. Katherine
morrow afternoon whether or not shs
shall be punished for alleged com
plicity in the murder of her husband.
This afternoon she will go on the
stand and tell the jurors her own
story. She declares that she will not
spare herself but tell all of the de-
tails so far as they affect her.
The trial of Mrs. King began this
morning before a courtroom only half
filled with spectators. There were less
people present than at the trial of
Nick Wilburn, who committed the
murder and who has been sentenced
to hang.
Mrs King entered the courthouse
through the bridge of signs" which
connects with the jail She found three
of her children waiting for her and she
affectionately and tearfully cIasped
and fondled them. The children were
not allowed to stay in the court
room
Only Eleven Jurors.
Inc panel of jurymen was exhaust
ed IN seeking to obtain twelve I'M
preJud1ced men, and when eleven jul
rors had been selected to sit on the
case Judge Park ordered the Sheriff
to summon other veniremen. How
ever, the attorneys agreed to proceed
with the eleven Jurors and the trial
began about 1030 o'clock.
Three witnesses We're examined
duNng the morning session, DR.. c. A.
White being the first. He swore prin.
cipally to being asked during the
summer of 1912 by Mrs. King for
quantity of strychnine. j. P. Cor
don, brother-in-law of James King,
the murdered man, testified to finding
Kings body and also swore to the
intimacy between Mrs. King and Will
burn. The testimony of Jesse Bar
Der, negro was along the same line.
Sentiment for AcqIittal.
There is feeling in Jones County
that Mrs. King will be acquitted
Certain it is that the sentiment is in
her favor, even among the men who
are attending the trial Attorney
Mcneil states that he will not offer
any witnesses, simply putting Mrs.
King on the stand. The arguments
viii! probably begin late this after
noon.

Huerta No Nearer
Recognition by u. S.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-The out
come of the election of Mexico failed
to cause surprise in official circles
here. 1t had been recognized all along
that an election in Mexico under the
prevailing conditions could be moth
ing but a farce. No matter what the
result of the election in Mexico had
been the successful candidate would
have failed to secure recognition from
the Government. Huertas regime will
never be recognized by the United
States. Neither will any man he Sc
lects be accepted.
Government officials declared that
the United States will now await de-
velopments in the republic. No move
will be made by this country, they as
serted. until it is clear what Huerta
intends to do.
Advices from John Lind, President
Wilson's personal representative In
Mexico, and Charge O'Shaughnessy al
Mexico City, indicated that General
Huerta is expected to remain in power
at least until the convention of the
new Congress next month.
Secretary Of State Bryan to-day de-
clined to discuss the Mexican cleo
lions.
Il can not comment on the cleo
lions at this time" he said, because
we have not received the official count
of the vote. This probably will not
reach us before the end of the week,
because of the difficulty of access to
the number of outlying States of
Mexico. Until the State Department
receives an official report of yester-
days elections no one here can be ex-
pected to comment upon them.

holding office, however, and he will
be eligible TO hold either the Presi-
dency or Vice Presidency If duly
elected
Though Huerta had announced that
he would not accept the Presidency,
hundreds of votes were cast for him.
and it is probable that when all the
returns are in he will be found rank
ing third in the contest.
The chief reason for the light vote
is believed to be the law requiring
that every ballot cast be signed with
the name and address OF the voter.
In the present situation Mexicans who
opposed Huerta We're afraid to go on
record as favoring Diaz. Therefore,
that candidate, although having thou
sands of supporters in the capital,
was unable to receive his full voting
strength.
1t will be several weeks before all
the returns are in from the isolated
sections Of the Republic, but it is
probable that before that time Con-
gress will have convened, declared the
Deputies and Senators supported by
the clerical held and chosen Huerta
as President ad interim.
