Mott to Wed Mrs. BOVINE in World Elopemsnt
Final Chapter To Be Written at Last in Romance
Divorce of Injured Husband and
Reported Suit of Deserted
Wife to Give Freedom.

NEW YORK, Oct 4.-The curtain
will fall to the tune of wedding bells
on the sensational drama of the love
Of Frances Hewitt Bovine and Jor-
dan Lawrence Mott, III. Their story
has been one to add some sordid pages
to the book of American life. It has
included the destruction of two homes,
for both Mrs. Bovine and Mott. elop-
ing, left their legally married mates.
1t has told how Mott the son of an
old and wealthy family has been de-
nounced by his relatives. And most
romantic of all it included the flight
Of the clippers across the world, with
Hector Fuller, soldier of fortune

UP the sea trail and followed It
through strange 'tropical seas into
which the clippers went in search 1t
happiness on their Illicit honeymoon.
He missed them successfully at Port
Said, Singapore and Colombo, and 1t
was only at their journeys end, when
they had settled down 10 life in
Hongkong, that he caught up with
them.
There he found them, and begged
Mott to return. He pleaded with all
the strength Of his own friendship,
and with all the realization that much
trust had been put in him by the old
general. But Mott had tasted of real
happiness, he declared, and refused
to go back. So all that Fuller had
for his pains was the trip around the
world and the name of a part in the
elopement
General Mott still was determined
to bring his son back to New York,
to home, and TO responsibility. He
decided to go himself TO Hongkong.
But if Fuller was unsuccessful, the
fathers failure was even more alb
ject. His son was resOlute in his de-
fance of convention and vowed that
he would never return.
The last spark of affection that the
father mad for MS son apparently was
killed on this trip. Returning to New
York last week. reporters met him at
the dock.
And how about your SOM" they
asked
The old man colOred angrily.
Never mention his name TO me
again" he said emphatically. He is
no son of mine"
Nothing more happened until just
the other day, when the suit for di-
vorce which Mrs. Bowne's husband
had in the New Jersey courts was
granted, and when gossip generally
declared that Motifs wife was con-
templating a suit for divorce, to OBJ
tain which there likely will be no
difficulty.
In China the two lovers, who all
their lives have been accustomed 10
every luxury that money and adora-
ton could obtain for them. are said
to have settled down to a sort of non
descript society, of which they prob
ably had no knowledge in their for
mer life in New York.
An aftermath TO the divorce OBJ
tanned by Walter Bovine from Mrs.
Frances Hewitt Bovine was the mar
riage, several days ago, of Bovine ami
Mrs. Adele Taylor Manning. Thus
was recalled the divorce suit Of mora
than year ago filed by John p, Man
ming, in which Bowne's name figured

PRICE APPEALS
FOR DIVERSITY
Of 1874 CROPS
Warning Sounded by Agricultural
Commissioner Against Planting
Big Acreage in Cotton.

Commissioner of Agriculture James
D. Price has sounded a warning, as
well as a word Of encouragement, to
the farmers of Georgia, and pleads
with them to determine next year
upon more general diversiffcation of
their crops.
The Commissioner sees prosperous
times ahead, but he thinks intelligent
and conservative farming is more
surely indicated now than ever before
for the future
He says:
In my opinion, Georgia never has
had a more golden opportunity to
start a thorough and complete devel-
opment of her agricultural resources.
In order for this to be done, how
ever, the merchants, the bankers. the
warehousemen and the farmers must
work together.
THE years 1911 and 1912 were both
trying on the farmers and allied bust
ness interests, and unless we are
careful now we will likely have SINH
lar conditions the next two years.
Warning of 1910.
The year 1910 was one of pros
perity, similar to this year. In the
fall money was plentiful and the out
look bright for good times and pros
perity. The farmer expanded by plan
ming his crop for all cotton.
In the spring of 1911 credit was
cheap and the farmer continued to
expand for the merchant, the banker
n
with their credit. The result was that
Georgia raised the biggest crop she
ever had made, and the farmers were
extravagant in making it. The yield
was large and the cost of making 1t so
great that the low prices made the
money returned much less than was
necessary TO pay the expenses, with
the result that the merchant, the
banker, and the warehouseman had
to carry over many notes and ac-
counts.
THE year 1912 caught the farmer
with an insufficient supply of feed
stuff and a good many obligations. He
was not in a position to plant food
crops, for it seemed to him that 1t
was necessary to plant cotton in or
der to pay running expenses and &C
cumulated debts.
Al IhIN IlIit TIE AoAtoll NApl y
was both short and cheap, and we
know what the depressed condition
was all over Georgia last fall. At the
start Of this year credit was tight
the seasons were unfavorable and
economy was the eternal watchword
The consequence now is that Georgia
is in better shape, generally, than 1t
has been since the fall of 1910.
Plant Small Acreage.
'Tf the farmers Of Georgia this fall
will plan their crops for 1914 to in
clude small grain, hay, corn, hogs,
some cattle and a small acreage in
cotton, and IL they will practice the
most rigid economy this fall in buy
ing for cash and next spring buying
on credit, the result next year will be
continued prosperity. On the other
hand, if the farmers Of Georgia are
extravagant in the expenditure Of the
money they are receiving for their
cotton ard cotton seed. and if they
become infatuated with the desire to
expand and raise much more cotton
next year, if business interests are
lax with credit. the results next year
will be disastrous"

SHERIFF MANGUM
NEAR END, SAYS
LAWYER SMITH
Attorney for COnIey InjeCts Poll
tics Into Dispute Over Negroes
Place Of Confinement.

William NJ. Smith. counsel for
James Conley. confessed accessory
after the fact in the killing Of Mary
Pnagan. in statement SATURDAY
sought 10 make a political issue out
Of his controversy with Sheriff Man
gum over the alleged. treatment Con
ley received while in the Tower.
Attorney Smith employed refer
ences 10 his own previous statemen;
that the jail was Ave stories high:
was divided into four wings with
seventeen cell blocks distributed over
FIVE floors, to discredit Sheriff Man
gums characterization Of the entire
affidavit as AN infamous lie"
He continued by asking if his other
references to the structural condi-
tons at the Tower also were lies.
He added that Conley had furnished
him with an affidavit as TO the treat
ment he had received as a prisoner at
the Jail and said he had given to
Sheriff Mangum the name Of one
person, though what the charges
are against this person the attorney
does not specify. He intimated ne
had performed services for the Sheriff
in the past and that there was much
more he could tell if he desired.
The attorney concludes his reply to
the Sheriff by the observation that
Mr.. Mangum must be reaching the
point where his usefulness to the
public in his present position is at an
end and the citizens OF this county
would do well to select from among
his ranks Of splendid deputies a new
Sheriff in the next election"
In discussing his affidavit. Mr.
Smith remarked.
Il did state that ! thought the con-
dition was due to the physical con-
struction Of the Jail and to the fact that
the county authorities did not give
Sheriff Mangum money to hire suf-
ficient guards. I stated that the best
Sheriff In the world. with the best and
most efficient deputies. could proba bly,
do no better under the conditions that
Sheriff Mangum and his deputies were
placed. If ! lied anywhere. ii was in
an effort to eXonerate Sheriff Man
gum from any blame in connection
with the conditions in Fulton County
jail.
"Mangum may forget. but he has
men on his force who do not, and the
genera public remembers the weight
Of obligation that should rest upon
him for services rendered by me to
him in the past For him to rush into
public print and denounce me as an
infamous liar probably without
reading the many statements made in
my affidavit generating him and his
men. is not entirely surprising to me.
IF Sheriff Mangum wants me 10
tell the general public through the
press the conditions as ] know Them
TO exist relative to the Fulton County
Jail. I can do it, and with the gloves
off"

On DEEP VICE
INQUIRY 4
Grand Jury to Go Into Charge
Again tuesday, Taking Up
>Dictograph Records,

Il was practically certain to-
day the Grand Jury had determined
to investigate the vice and dicto-
graph charges when it met again
Tuesday.
Foreman L. H Beck Saturday
morning said every mail brought him
numerous communicate touching
on some phase of the vice or dicto-
graph question, and that every one
urged a thorough investigation. He
said if the routine cases could be dis
posed Of, or put aside, the probe
would begin in earnest next week
We would have taken this matter
up long ago had it not been for the
criminal cases presented by the So
lcitor," said Mr. Beck. When we
meet, and the witnesses in the
cases have been summoned, it
would be unjust not to dis
pose of the cases and let them
go. If the calendar is light next week
in all probability we will go into the
general investigation"
While names of witnesses have
been furnished in anonymous COM
muniCations, almost every person
who has testified before the Grand
Jury in its investigation thus far has
furnished the names Of persons who
would testify to substantiate one or
the other side in the controversy.
Some of the witnesses say they can
tell Of the existence of wholesale vice.
while others state the conditions are
better in Atlanta than they have ever
been
Colonel Thomas B. Fielder. Mayor
James G. Woodward. Chief of Police
James l.. Beavers and Detective Chief
Newport Lanford have each regis
tered a request with the Grand Jury
that the photograph incident and the
counter charges of vice be investi-
gated

Mrs Wilcox is home to-day from
a. three months vacation abroa j.

countries. Incidentally, she took with
her a mandolin and In the brief pc

When, after great urging. she re-

low passengers glimpse Of the
latest dance movement, christened in
honor OF its inventor The Wilcox
Glide" the poet was given one Of the
most remarkable ovatiOns of her ca To-
reer. Although the liner carried an
unusually large number Of notables,
Mrs. Wilcox easily took first rank
in popularity throughout the voyage

They hold these affairs in the after

are wonderfully patronized The ho-

II is not a dance that we should wish
