This JUDGE LIKES
TRANSPARENT DRESSES

Atlanta, Ca, Nov 18.-Slit skirts
and transparent feminine raiment and
similar adornment of the fair sex finds
9 new and vigorous champion in Judge
Joel Branham, of Rome, perhaps the
oldest practicing lawyer in the state
Although advanced in years Judge
Branham is still vigorous in mentality
and he is a consistent champion of II.
fair sex and adores her with all her
fads and foibles.
Recently the Presbyterian synod
met in Rome and sharply condemned
the slit skirt and other so-called ex-
tremes of style. Judge Branham ap-
pears to be about the only warrior
bold enough to take issue with the
synod. In a card just published the
judge says:
why don't the preachers let the
women and their dresses alone? A
girl is cowed and Inundated when
dressed out of fashion. l am going to
get up a squad of slab-sided, faded
women wearing poke bonnets and
dresses dropping straight down over
bosomless chests to spindle legs and
ankles and flat-soled shoe for the ben
eft of those soap-eyed preachers who
offend unoffending congregations with
lugubrious discourses.
What about the attire of these
critical clergymen? The stretch
themselves cut in barber chairs, have
their faces lathered and their heards
shaved off, contrary to scriptures, and
wear stiff-starched shirts. Why
shouldn't they wear Chinese silk
gowns and thrust their heads and
arms through the head and arm-holes,
and quit barking at the women
Blindfold them. How did they fini
out women wear slit skirts? Did they
look?"
Private Judge Branham will g..
thanks from the feminine reader, but
he is probably in for hot time from
the ministerial ranks. However, he
doesn't mind a scrap a bit.

CAPTAIN COBB
PROPOSES HONOR
FOR A PIONEER
MEMORY OF OLIVER PRINCE
SUGGESTED While on Visit in
Macon

While visitor in Macon quite re-
Gently Captain John A. Cobb Of Amer
icus, in conversation with Col. James
Galloway, the able writer for the
Telegraph's editorial page and au-
thority upon Georgia history, sug-
gested a tribute to the memory of Or
liver Prince, a pioneer resident of Ma
con and personal friend OF Captain
Cobb. Referring to this splendid
type of Georgian Captain Cobb said
II have often wondered why Ma
con has never honored the name of
Oliver H. Prince. Oliver H. Prince
was very prominent young lawyer
and was author of Princes Digest,
in those days a most useful law book.
Prince was a nephew of Oliver
Hillhouse, who was one of the first
editors and printers in the state. He
founded the Washington Gazette. AMI
after his death Mrs. Hillhouse carried
the business on and was one Of the
first State printers in Georgia. Prince
was also fond Of literature. and was
man of fine sense of humor He
wrote The Militia Muster in Long
streets Georgia Scenes.
When Macon was laid cut Oliver
H. Prince, David S. Booth, Samuel
Wood and Charles ]. Mcdonald were
the commissioners. Prince was chat :
man of the commission and was Sc
active in Macon's interest in her in
fancy. He moved to Athens from
Macon and that city named Prince
street for him, and it is so called
now, and should never be changed.
l wish Macon would recognize the
work of Oliver Prince. / belive in
preserving our early traditions and
keeping alive the memories of our
pioneers who did their work so well
Oliver H. Prince was a genius in his
way and Macon, the city beautiful
owes it to Oliver Prince that the
foundations for her beauty were
laid by one who possessed good taste
and an eye for the beautiful"

.ELOPERS FACE
KIDNAPPING CHARGE

Atlanta, Nov. 1s.-It must be pretty
tough to be arretsed for kidnapping,
when all you planned was an honest
and romantic elopement. But that's
exactly what happened to John
West and William Taylor.
The trouble was that they intended
to marry two pretty sisters, one aged
only fourteen years and the other on
ly II, whose father thought they
we're entirely too young to know their
own minds.
The two pretty girls are Misses
Minnie and Clara Smith of Athens,
daughters of Cicero NJ. Smith. Mr..
Smith has instituted the kidnapping
charges, and says he will prosecute
the case to the limit of the law. He
holds that when two young men en-
veigle two innocent and inexperienced
girls as young as his daughters into
such an elopement escapade, it is TAX
ing an unfair advantage of a girl too
young to realize the serious conse-
quences.
The girls were arrested the minute
they got to Atlanta, SO that they never
met the prospective bridegrooms here,
and the wedding never took place.
Both girls have entirely given 10
the idea of matrimony, and are de-
lighted to return home with their pa
rents.
There seems to be grave question,
under the law, as whether or not Mr.
Smith can make a kidnapping charge
stick. as it appears that though the
young ladies have now repented their
elopement plan, they came to Atlanta
OF Their own will and accord with the
honest though perhaps rash intention
Of being married.

New York, Nov. 1S.-Forty-nine mil

D. Pullen, a naturalist who lives in
the Bronx.
The insects will be pampered and

Mr.. Pullen doesn't coddle the

them only to feed them to the queer
fish that swim in the tanks of his base

known this treacherous fact to the
mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes are, for the most
part very docile and easy to handle
But Mr.. Pullen has yet to discover

Tho Unknown Eros.
The ten days that followed were
among the most important of Domi-
nick Ryan's life. Looking back at
them he wondered that he had been
SO blind to the transformation of his
being which was taking place. Great
emotional crises are often not any
more recognized. by the individuals,
than great transitional epochs are
known by the nations experiencing
them. Dominick did not realize that
the most engrossing. compelling pas
sion he had ever felt was slowly in
vading him. He did not argue that
he was falling in love with a woman
that he could never own and Of whom
1t was a sin to think. He did not
argue or think about anything. He
was as vessel gradually filling with
elemental forces, and like the vessel
he was passive till some jar would
shake It and the forces would run
over. Meantime he was held by q
determination. mutinous and unrea-
soning as the determination OF a child.
to live In the present. He had the
feeling of the desert traveller who has
found the oasis. The desert lay be-
hind him, burning and sinister with
the agony of his transit, and the des-
ert lay before him with its horrors to
be faced. but for the moment he
could lie still and rest and forget by
the fountain under the cool of the
trees.
He did not consciously think of
Rose. But II she were not there he
was uneasy till she came again. His
secret exhilaration at her approach,
the dead Darkness of his lack of her
when she was absent, told him moth
ing. These were the feelings he had.
and they filled him and left no cool
residue OF reason wherewith to watch
and guard. He was taken unawares.
SO drearily confident of his allegiance
to his particular private tragedy that
he did not admit the possibility OF a
detection. A sense Of rest was on him
and he set 1t down-if he ever thought
of It at ALTO the relief of a tempo
rary respite. Poor Dominick, with his
inexperience OF sweet things. did not
argue that respite from pain should
be a quiescent, contented condition OF
being. far removed from that state of
secret. troubled gladness that thrilled
him at the sound of a woman's foot
step.
No situation could have been In
vented better suited for the fostering
of sentiment. His helpless state de-
manded her constant attention. The
attitude of nurse to patient, the So
licitude of the consoling woman for
