Of Washers
Girl Who Routed Annoyer With
Fists and Pistol Bride in
Surprise Wedding

She who put a masher 10 rout al
the point of a pistol after giving him
a sound pummeing with her niue
fists has fallen victim to an lndlVid-
nal much less formidable in appear
ance-Dan Cupid.
Friends were just learning Thurs

day of Miss Verna Smith, Of No, 29b
South Pryor street, and \. {. I'M,

Building
Miss Smith-now Mrs. Hills the
COURAGEOUS young woman who won
congratulations from all sides httIe
more than 9 year ago When she
turned on a man who was following
her home one night and gave him IN
succession a highly eloquent tongue
la shing, a beating that took MIN en-
tirely by surprise. and a scare with
a businesslike .S2-caliber revolver
she had with her. 1t is doubtful II
her molester ever forgot any OF them.
It is not difficult to be prepared for
the genus masher, says MRS. Hill, but
az for those feathery little arrows
that the wanton god, Dan Cupid. is
twanging from his bow In all direc-
tions. well. they are an entirely diff
ferent thing. If Dan ambuscades a
person and let's fly. why there IS alb
soluteIy no protection; that's all there
is to it.
And so 1t came about that Miss
Smith and young Hill, who had board
ed with her father at No. 296 South
Pryor street for some time, both were
hit But they told not a soul.
Hill is wondering what his father
and mother in Homer. Ga, viii think
when they read OF it in The Georgian
to-day.
And the brides father, r. D. Smith,
did not receive much more of warn
ing.

elder man gasping with establishment,
They carried out their plans by GO
ing to the residence of the Rev. A. j.
Sears. pastor OF the Bonnie Brae
Methodist Church, who performed the
simple ceremony that made them
husband and wife.
Just as though nothing out of the
ordinary had happened. Hill made a
business trip for the firm to Melon

was at her post in the Kimball Hotel,
where she has had a position as
switchboard operator for several

Hill, however could not keep the
good news. He whispered 1t as Sc

II attorneys generally in Georgia
fully understood that to make last
minute applications for respites and
clemency in capital cases. after DELHI
erately disregarded opportunity to APP
pear before the Prison Commission;
actually prejudiced their cases in the
executive eye and raised inevitably a
presumption of questionable methods
in the executive mind there doubt
less would be less OF that sort OF
thing in the State.
That Governor Slaton feels very
strongly and deeply the injustice to
him frequently involved in these last
minute appeals, is not doubted in the
least by those who talk with him up
on that subject from time to time.
Recently an attorney appeared be
fore the Governor In behalf Of a
client condemned to death and asked
respite, Notwithstanding the fact
that the criminal concerned had been
under sentence Of death for two
months and his sentence affirmed, and
two meetings of the Prison Board
had been lightly passed by without
any word as To ciemenoy being ut
! tered And It is a matter OF record in
Georgia that one criminal was respit-
ed seven times by the questionable
process OF permitting Prison Board
meetings to pass and then appealing
10 the Governor frant!cally at the last
minute!
When an attorney deliberately per
aft 90
Prison Board to pass without ac-
ton, and then rushes TO the Governor
within a few days of the proposed eX-
ecution with a petition for respite
the Governor not unnaturally thinks
he is being trined with-or worse.
There may be occasional extreme
cases in which these last minute APP
peals have merit, but as a rule the
Governor views them with suspicion
and merely as attempts to gain a
little further delay in execution.
Occasionally a lawyer informs the
Governor that he was 'in ignorance OF
| the rule" and what the Governor then
says to that lawyer never makes him
| feel at all comfortable!
| The Governor earnestly requests all
| parties having clemency matters In
mind to obtain from the Prison Com
| mission the rules governing the ais
position of the same. He has stated
| his very firm determination in the fu-
ture to adhere strictly to those rules
and not to vary from them save In the
| gravest emergencies.

The Public Swimming Bath.

one of the features Of municipal gov
eminent in Europe behind which Ameri-
can cities lag is the swimming bath. both
outdoor and indoor. \ number of cities
in the United States within the last dec
ade have made progress in this useful
and otherwise desirable municipal func-
ton but most of the big and populous
places of the new world are far oelow
the European standard in encouraging
among the classes and the masses this
form OF personal hygiene and athletic
exercise. Washington has its single es-
tablishment of swimming pools. some
times called the bathing beach, open
during the warm season of the year. and
the growth OF patronage given that re
sort by the citizens shows how strongly
such a place was desired and what pleas
ure and health a multitude of people ma
in it. Washington. almost srt with riv-
ers and having two such suggestive sylla-
HE. in its name. should have the amplest
bathing facilities in spring, summer ana
carly autumn and should have municipal
indoor baths I'm winter. 1t is true the
need of a municipal bath Is not so i'm
peratiyc in Washington as in many OF tne
old cities Of Europe, Here there Is an
ample supply OF plped water anu 'ie
hathtub is a common utensil. even IN
small houses in shabby neighborhoods.
The means for heating houses and water
are generally more primitive in European
cities than with us The percentage OF
new and up-to-date houses, with al,
modern improvements" is no doubt much
greater with us than with our European
cousins and friends. but the municipal
swimming bath in winter would be a use
full, agreeable and popular institution.

Would Plumber Niagara Falls.

Those who would turn Niagara into
electric power are again busy, or 1t may
he that they are still busy. 1t was De-
lieved that the agreement between the
Tinted States and Canada restricting
the volume of water drawn from above
the falls, the purpose of the agreement
being to preserve Niagara as scenic
spectacle, had put an end to the plots
and schemes for destroying the falls.
But a number Of practical men are
busy, and one may read good deal
in the press about their activities. They,
or their representatives. are saying that
the group of industries at Niagara
Falls should be the pride Of all Ameri-
can electrochemists, and of all other
American citizens. that those industries
should be still further developed. and
that the question of conservation OF
scenic beauty should not be measured
against the question of the production
of useful energy. But the question OF
the conservation of wonderful and wide
open scenery for the benefit Of all the
people is measured, and will continue
to be measured. against the production
Of electric power for private profit. The
desire for the preservation of Niagara
Falls is felt by an overwhelming
majority of the American people
