JUDGE NJ MAHON
TELLS OF WORK
Big Brother Idea Is Dis
cussed- In Connection
With Juvenile Work.

There was not large attendance at
the meeting in the Hammond Chamber
of Commerce rooms at which Judge
Willis c. Mcmahon talked on the sub
ject of his Juvenile work
The result of the meeting, however,
was to advance the big brother idea
which was first suggested by Gerry
Hermann. the head of the Elks' lodge
In the United States.
1t is understood that number OF
Hammond Eiks and others are to play
the part of big brothers to unfortunate
young men and try to save them from
the downward route.
1t is believed that this manner OF
paroiing young offenders to those who
viii take an interest in them will re-
suit in the reclamation of a great many
human derelicts.

Mrs. AIonzo Thompson Tells How
WiIes of Fortune Teller Led to
Desertion of Her and Son.

DENVER, Nov. 15.-Mrs. Alonzo
Thompson, widow of the millionaire
spiritualist, Alonzo Thompson, who
died several months ago, now tells
for the first time the circumstances
which led up to the desertiOn OF her
self and her son. She informed City
Attorney Stevens. who Is conducting
a campaign to drive the fortune tell
ers out of business, that her husband
had been the victim of a woman who
claimed the spiritual power professed
by the so-called clairvoyants, psychic
advisers and trance artists.
Il and my son have been the ones
who have suffered from the decep-
ton Of these people," said Mrs.
Thompson.
y tried hard to coincide with the
views of my husband. who placed
great credence In the powers pro-
fessed by this woman. l endeavored
to prove to myself that her powers
were real, but l couldn't bring myself
to the point of believing, and finally
there came a day when Mr.. Thomp-
ing.
Dependent on Friends.
I'VE decided that he was to accept
his belief and / was to hold mine.
Then came the crisis. He began to
drift more and more under the in
fluence of this woman.
Finally, on the advice of the
psychic adviser, Mr.. Thompson with
drew his deposits from the banks.
He had always been a good hus-
band, but when he withdrew his bank
deposits he left our son and me with
out funds and dependent upon friends.
One thing led to another and after
a short while. when his brain had
been clouded by the advice offered by
the psychic adviser, Mr. Thompson re-
quested that ] secure a divorce, but
refused. Finally, through need of
funds, | was forced to take some &C.
ton against him, but he was out of

powers of this woman psychic adj
wiser.

MY husband. carried away with the
belief that the clairvoyant's advice
was operating beneficially for him,

the power claimed by her, prevailed

GEORGIA CORN
CLUB WORK To
Be EXPANDED
Raising of Oats, Hay, Cotton and
Live Stock To Be Added
to List.

The Georgia Corn Club work Is TO
be expanded so as to include not only
corn, but oats, hay, pigs, live stock
ana cotton. This information was
brought from Washington by ]. Phil
campbell, corn club and farm demon
stratlon agent for Georgia, who has
just returned from the convention of
agricultural college and experiment
station officials held there.
In a conference Saturday with Sec
rotary w. g. Cooper, of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman
II. q. Hastings, of the corn show
committee, Mr., Campbell outlined the
plans the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in cooperation
with the State College of Agriculture
at Athens, has in view. He said:
Rotation Clubs Planned.
The new feature is the Boys Ro-
tation Clubs, or the three crop clubs
which we have just instituted and In
which the age limit is raised from
IS to Il years The rotation clubs
are a direct outgrowth Of the boys
corn clubs, and already one half of
the boys who have come through
with their corn crops this year have
planted their acre in oats.
They Will follow their oats with
peas, renewing and enriching the land,
and next year will select d new acre
for the cultivation of their corn.
'"rhe live stock movement is grow
ing gradually. The Georgia State
College of Agriculture is actively in
terested, and only recently Professor
JarnagOn bought for farmers in Tel
fair County a carload of Percheron
mares. This work, begun by V. L.
Collier in Pike County only a few
years ago, has already resulted in a
Percheron colt show. The offer of
Percheron mare as a prize by the
Central of Georgia Railway has great
ly interested the boys in this phase
of the work"
Cotton a Local Feature.
Mr.. Campbell explained that the
movement to incorporate cotton In
the corn club and rotation club
movements was entirely a local fea-
ture, introduced at the suggestion of
the Central of Georgia Railway, and
will apply only to the territory upon
it's lines; but these extend all the
way across the State from north to
south, as we'll as from east to west,
and many counties will be included.
