the manner of it, while on all sides

to look for a last time on the face
of the man who in life was respon-
sible for many charities and acts of
political assistance that added TO
their fortunes in one way or another.
Pictures of the dead leader are dis
played in store windows and many
buildings are draped in black.

MILLEN, Cain the same court
room where Mrs. Edna Perkins God
bee has been on trial for her life for
the murder of Mrs. Florence Boyer
Godbee will be fought out within the
next few months a legal battle in
which the Godbee property will be
the bone of contention.
The same lawyers who have de-
Tended Mrs. Edna Godbee in her
trial for high crime-Judge Frank
Saffold and James A. Dixon will
represent Mrs. Edna Godbee and her
children.
Mrs. Godbee will bring suit to gain
possession of the property in Millen
known as the Godbee block and all
other property left by her former
husband, Judge Walter S. Godbee,
whom she shot to death, for herself
and her children.
Bought With Her Money.
The suit will be based upon the
contention that when, years ago.
Judge and Mrs. Godbee, then living
together as man and wife, bought
the hotel property in Millen, which
was afterwards burned, and which is
the site of the present Godbee block
directly opposite the depot-Mrs.
Edna Godbee furnished the money
with which to make the first payment
with the distinct understanding that
the title of the property should be in
her name.
1t will be contended that the bond
for title was made out in the name of
Mrs. Edna Godbee, but that, after
Judge Godbee had secured other
moneys from Mrs. Godbee, and the
hotel property was burned, and a
settlement was reached between
Judge Godbee and the parties from
whom he bought the hotel property,
giving them the insurance money for
a clear title to the land, he had the
deeds made out to Walter S. Godbee,
trustee.

BAN ON ENAMELLED WARE
FRENCH AUTHORITIES CLAIM
CHIPS CAUSE APPENDICITIS.
Alarming Discovery Is Made i'm the
Manner Meat Is Chopped for the
Manufacture of Sausage.

French chefs have always refused
to make use of enameled kitchen
ware, claiming that not only does it
tend to destroy the taste of anything
cooked in it, but it is also injurious
to health.
The latter part of their declara-
ton has now received the official en-
dorsement at least in part of the
Paris health council, which has de-
clared that the use of enameled pots
and pans is to blame for the rapidly
increasing number of cases of appen-
dicitis, as small chips of enamel con-
stantly break off, and, mixed with
food, causes injury to the intestines.
This statement is sufficiently dis
concerning, but other discoveries
scarcely less alarming have been
made. For some months the atten-
ton of the sanitary department of
the prefecture of police has been
drawn to the way in which meat is
chopped for the manufacture of sau-
sage.
On this subject NJ. Martel. the chef
of the veterinary department, has
just presented an interesting report
to the health council. He finds that
the chopping machines used at pres
ent are nearly all enameled, and on
visiting several sausage making es-
Establishments he made the discovery
that on no machine was the enamel
in good condition.
The enamel came off after the ma
chine had been in use only a short
time, and became mixed with the
chopped meat This was shown after
photographic examination of a
large number of sausages in which
pieces of enamel we're plainly visi-
BILE.
After making this discovery the
health council had no hesitation in
prohibiting the use of enameled
chopping machines in sausage facto-
ries and other establishments where
meat is chopped and now it is pro-
posed to prohibit the use of enameled
chopping machines throughout
France.

MAY KNOW
HIS FATE BEFORE WEEKS END
The CONDEMNED Mans Life Is in Governor Slatons Hands
the Physician Is Not Likely at All to Hang.

conspirators is innocent then there
can be no conspiracy, and DR.. Nc
Naughton's conviction of murder, as
a result of conspiracy, was a miscar-
riage of justice.
Eliminating the possibility of DR..
McNaughton paying the penalty on
the gallows there remain but two
courses which the governor can pur-
sue He will either pardon him out
right, as recommended by two mem
bers of the commission, or he will
commute his sentence to life impris-
onment. If Governor Slaton thinks
DR.. McNaughton has established his
innocence in spite of the action OF
the courts he will not hesitate to
pardon him, nor will he have any
less hesitation in sending him to life
Imprisonment in the event he thinks
the judgment of the courts has not
been shaken by subsequent develop
ments.
! Governor SlatOn takes much the
view of the pardon power that Gov
ernor Brown did, namely, that it is
not court of last resort. Governor
Brown held that it was rather a pow
er to be exercised to correct an error
committed as the result Of the abb
sence of full information and not to
determine whether the courts were
right in their judgment based on the
evidence placed before them.
In any event DR.. McNaughtOn will
not be hanged on October 3rd, the
date now set for his execution. He
will before that time know whether
he is to be a free man or do penal
service for the crime for which he
| has been convicted.

INSTRUCTOR STILL TROUBLES
MAYOR WOODWARD SAYS HE'S
GOING TO HAVE FAIR TEST.
No More Money Until 1t Passes Mus
ter, He Says. 1t Has Made
Two or Three Failures.

ATLANTA.-The new crematory,
which Mayor Woodward has been
urging to have tested before making
more payments, burned out one Of its
motors Friday night, and when the
second motor was burned out yesteT-
day the plant had to shut down COM
ipletely and discontinue the burning
of garbage for the remainder of the
| day.
Just when another test will be
made is not known, since w. &.
Dowd, Jr., sales engineer of the De-
structor Company, is not here.
When Mayor Woodward heard of
the situation he said:
This is nothing more than I've
been expecting, and | am not at all
surprised. have said all along that
| the new crematory is a more COM
plicated plant than the city should
have bought. Furthermore, | have
said all along that under fair test
the crematory will not measure up
to it's contract, and / still say it.
They are doing right now exactly
what / have predicted. mean to
say they are 'stalling, pure and sim
| pie.
The Destructor people know that
under anything like a fair test the
plant cannot come up to it's contract,
and that is the reason they are delay
ing the test as long as possible. They
are trying to put off the test until the
dry fall season comes. when there
will be tons of dry leaves to be dis
posed of and all sorts of other garb-
age will be mostly dry.
"Why aren't they willing to stand
the test when there are rotting vege-
tables and watermelon rinds and con-
siderable other garbage more or less
wet to be burned? The answer is
easy. They are simply Sailing along
until they can get the dry garbage.
They know that if they have to
burn material that is at all wet the
plant will not generate the steam
necessary to produce the electricity
guaranteed under their contract. 1t
will take the heat of the furnace to
burn the garbage then and the gar
bage itself will generate no heat. But
wait until they can get dead leaves
and dry garbage and they will have
material that viii burn itself and at
the same time supply heat.
"It is costing the Destructor peo-
pie $25 per day because they have
not delivered a complete plant on
time according to the contract, but
there is no cause why they should
worry over that, if in the final test
they can make the plant pass muster.
That's why you don't hear any kick
from them.
81 don't want to impose any ex-
traordinary or unfair test upon the
crematory people, but l do want
fair test, and / am going to have it
before the Destructor people get an
other cent out of me- @'-'

cials in the South with headquarters
in Atlanta and other cities, who were
invited by Chairman Jonathan
Bourne. Jr., of the United States sem
ate committee on postofices and post
roads to give their views on the sub

The officials hold that the under

led in the proposed senate measure

clare that any plan of compensation
based upon operating cost and taxes,
plus six per cent for profit, is funda-
mentally wrong, because it makes no
