MACON MAN HAS A time
TALKING With HIS WHEY

Cincinnati, o., Nov I'm c..
rritchard of Macon. Ga, has invoked
the aid of the courts to enable him %
talk to his wife. He today swore GU.
habeas corpus warrant directing that
Mrs. Pritchard be produced in court
Monday and feels confident that what
he has to say to her will sweep away
all their martial troubles.
The Pritchards have been separated
for some time and Mrs. Pritchard has
been living with Mrs. Edward w.
Kelley, at whom the habeas corpus
warrant is technically directed. Baffled
by the refusal of his wife to heed his
pleas for reconciliation, Pritchard,
in desperation, resorted to the habeas
corpus tactics to get chance to talk.
Lawyers say he has good case.

Geraldine Farrar is am old-fashioned
woman. She is also, perhaps, the
highest paid songstress in the world.
If she is not there are not more than
two or three other women who earn as
much.
"There have always been exception
al women she said. Some of them
knew a great deal more than our cleg-
err college graduates know today. But
that does not change the great facts OF
life. Woman has always been the
burden bearer and she cannot be any
thing else. She may find it easier and
more interesting to attend suffrage
meetings than to care for her children.
But it is not more important.
Women talk of progress and take a
little interest in great many things.
But they will never do the same work
in the world as men. They were not
made for it.
Woman sympathizes with man in
his work, gives him the impulse often
toward great things, but it is man
that carries them through to final ac-
complishment.
II do not mean that woman is lack
ing in capacity or Intelligence. She
has to manage the home and man too.

CRAZY NEGRO HOLDS
OFFICERS At BAY

Atlanta, Nov. 19.-Armed with long
carving knife, and shrieking like a
demon, a negro maniac whose name
has never been e1arned, terriorized
and took possession of Justice d. K.
Johnston's court yesterday afternoon
and for fifteen minutes hsld specta-
tors, court ocials and police at bay.
The officers didn't want to murder
him in cold blood with their revolvers,
and his knife was so long and sharp
that it would haev been desperate
thing to get at him with club.
The negfiro stood with his back to
the wall Off fifteen minutes at one
moment singing revival hymns and
the next promising to cut the heart
out of anybody who approached him.
Finally he changed his mood, and
Policeman John West, qtalking to
him as he would have done to child,
persuaded him to throw down his
knife and accompany him to the police
station. AS soon as the negros name
can be ascertained he will be commit
ted for lunacy.
