SHEPPARD BILL
STILL DELAYED
IN LEGISLATURE
EXTENDS TINE FOR DEBATE
Vote May Be Taken On Bill
Today

Atlanta, Ga, July %. - The ex-
pected vote on the Sheppard child la
Dor bill was not reached in the house
today, because the house extended
the limit of the debate from Il: 40
o'clock this afternoon until the same
time tomorrow and thus carried over
the whole matter. All of today's ses-
sion, except for the usual period of
unanimous consents was spent in the
debate, which was the most spirited
and the most interesting of the 1914
sessions up to date.
The members of the house paid IN
usually close attention to the speeches
and very few left the hall. The gale
ries were filled with ladies who are
interested in the passage of the bill
and striking mill operators of the Full
ton Bag and Cotton mills.
Those who spoke for the bill were
Representatives. Blackburn, of Fulton,
Borogh, of Franklin, and Smith of
DeKalb Those who spoke against
the bill were Representatives Ran
som, of Chattooga, Moon, of Troupe.
and Akin, of Glynn.
Among the bills introduced in the
house today was one by Representa-
tive Anderson, of Murray, TO require
the return CT mortgages and notes for
taxation, one by Representative Glyn1,
of Whitfield, to abolish the death SEN
tence for crime in Georgia, and one
by Representative Smith, of Fulton, to
prohibit the use of the word trust"
in the corporate name of any corpora
tion in Georgia.

FORGETS BABY
ON Street CAR
Mother Also Leaves Silver Bag and
Her New Hat Behind-Bag Contain
ed Tintype OF Man.

New York, July 23.-An absent
minded woman jumped out of a third
avenue surface car this afternoon and
left her 3-year-old girl behind, along
with her new straw hat and her silver
mesh bag. She just forgot about the
whole thing, the police believe. And
evidently she did not even remember
the trifling circumstances, up to 9
o'clock tonight, when the small girl
discovered in tears, was turned over
to the Children's society.
The first time the conductor realiz-
ed he had an abandoned baby on his
hands was along about 120th street,
as the car was bowling northward.
The child could not tell her name or
where she lived.
Finally the conductor stopped tho
car at 125th street, and turned tn :
young traveller over to Policeman Pat
rick Mcnamara, who has a dozen lit
tie fellows of his own.
At the East 196th street station,
Lieut.. Walsh looked into the mesh bag
and found 20 cents, Manhattan bridge
ticket, and tintype photo of man,

ATLANTA CLUBMEN

K|DD|ES Of CITY

Atlanta, ga, July 23.-Atlanta da,-
rymen, or. many of them, have agreed
to donate several quarts of milk each
day to the relief of sick babies, work
ing through the Mothers Congress
which has in charge the baby fund.
The good women at the head of tn :
movement report that more than o
hundred babies whose mothers were
unable to buy good milk for them
have been given relief by the fund
this summer Remarkable cases of
improvement have been reported by
physicians.
A sign, neatly painted, hangs over
the bar in one local club. 1t has,
perhaps, reduced the clubs revenues
a bit, but the management does nor
mind that. The placard reads

There is a contribution box inside
the bar, and it fills up nearly every

Gently had been held in Jail there for
the same charge but the authorities

SCHELL's DREDGE
BOAT IS LAUNCHED
Mammoth Excavating Ma
chine Is Ready For
Operation.

The mammoth dredge boat Of
the Union Irrigation Company,
of which company Mr.. j. Frank
lin Schell is manager, was
launched last week near the COM
pany's pumping plant, between
this city and Washington. A
crowd from Washington and sur
rounding country was on hand to
witness the large steel dredge
boat make her bow in the canal.
The Washington Herald has
this to say concerning the boat:
The boat was purchasedi in Ohio
and was shipped here on four
teen cars and had to be recon
structed at this place. The boat
is somewhat of a vessel, being
110 feet in length and Al feet IN
breadth. It is to be used IN
deepening and widening the en-
trance of the waterway to the
pumping station.
The supervising OF the con-
struction of the boat was in the
hands Of Mr.. Clinchy. The hull
was built on stays and these were
talloWed so that when one side
was elevated upon a little incline
it would slip away into the water.
The visitors kept Waching every
move Of the Workmen and each
began to say how much higher
the one side must be elevated be-
fore it would move. All had a
surprise in store for them; just
after one of those present re-
marked that it would take a half
hour yet, ashout went up, She's
moving, = barely perceptibly SO,
but it soon gained In velocity and
quick as a flash, splash it went
into the channel it is soon to en-
large. Then were three cheers
given for Clinchy and the boys,
three cheers for Mr.. Schell, who
has brought to pass such q great
proposition, and three cheers for
the Union Irrigation Company.

LITT()N STILL in
INSURANCE BUSINESS
Opens Up Office in the
Gilbert Dupre Office
Building.

Mr.. Isaac Litton, who up to a
few days ago was the senior
member of the insurance firm of
Litton & Stagg has opened up an
office ia the Gilbert Dupre build
ing, on Court and Vine Streets.
A representative of the Clar-
ion in reporting the mutual dis
solution of the firm Of Litton &
Stagg, was at the time un-
der the impression that Mr.. Lit
ton would retire from the insur-
ance business. But this was not
the case, as Mr.. Litton and Mr..
Stagg both decided to open each
an office and do business separ-
ately.
Mr.. Litton went to New Or
leans during the week and fixed
up with the big insurance COM
panies in that city and has since
his return been kept very busy
writing up fire insurance; he
does not represent any LIE 1nsur-
ance companies.
Mr.. Litton, who is a son-in-
law of Hon. Gilbert L. Dupre,
has made hosts of friends in this
parish, since he made Opelousas
his home, and does a very large
insurance business. 1t is a de-
plorable fact that the Clarion in
timated last week that he would
retire from the business, as the
representative simply took it for
granted.
Both Mr.. Litton and Mr.. Stagg
have been doing very well since
the dissolution Of the business
and their many friends wish
them the best of success in their
undertakings.

RECEIVES AN ORDER
FROM CHICAGO FIRM
Opelousas Ink Works Is A
Sure Enough Going
Concern.

For Opelousas to receive an
order from Chicago, Ill, for ink
manufactured here, when there
are ink factories in the large
cities of the world, is something
worth while boasting of. Besides
the order comes from the largest
sporting firm in the world.
Mr.. .Toledano Wallior, a native
of Opelousas but for many years
a resident Of Chicago, is the
owner of the ink factory, which
was started on a small scale only
a few weeks ago. He is conf
dent that the ink factory, after
it will be completed will be a
God-send to this country. There
are no other similar factories in
this section and this city could
draw the trade from all of the
state of Louisiana, as well as
many other states of the Union.
A few weeks ago a large ship
ment of ink was made to Baton
Rouge and as soon as the local
factory will be advertised over
the state it will not be a difficult
matter to secure orders from all
the nearby towns and cities.
Mr.. Wallior is also working up
the Advisory Exposition, a jour
nal which is to be published
monthly in Opelousas and which
will be for the purpose of boost
ing Southwest Louisiana. He
has already secured many sub
scribers and will soon start a
state wide campaign, after he
has been assured the co-opera-
tion and support of the people Of
St. Landry parish.
With an ink factory and a
magazine added to the many en-
terprises of this city Opelousas
will surely have a better future
before it. This city is just at a
stage. where it will be boosted
up and will progress rapidly and
it will not be so many days either
before the progressiveness of
Opelousas will be on the lip Of
nearly every citizen of Louisiana.

TO DISCUSS PARADE
NEXT MONDAY NIGHT
Mayor E. l.. Loeb Will Be Chairman Of Meeting at
Courthouse---Prominent Citizens
Will Deliver Addresses.

There will be a mass meeting
on next Monday evening at the
courthouse for the purpose Of
organizing for the celebration of
0pelousas Day, which will take
place sometime next month.
Mayor Edward L. Loeb will pre-
side and it is stated that Hon.
John w. Lewis, Hon. Leon S.
Haas, Hon. William ]. Sandoz,
Mr.. J. G. LaWler and several
other prominent citizens Of Ope-
lousas will deliver short address
es on the subject.
1t is expected that members
of the OpeIousas Progressive
League and the members of the
and outgoing boards of
of aldermen will also be present.
The meeting it is thought will
take place sometime in the after
noon in order that ladies will be
able to attend.
Opelousas Day is not meeting
with the enthusiasm of some of
the prominent citizens as it
should, partly on account of ne
glect to lend their cooperation.
But Mayor Loeb, who has been
appointed chairman of the meet
ing, and as a public official will
strive to make this day one of
the greatest in the annals Of the
city.
The merchants are especially
invited to be present, without
saying that the ladies Of Opelou-
sas have the first bid. It is ex-
pected that a representative
body of prominent citizens will
gather at the Courthouse Mon
