: GOLDEN HAIRED"

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 21.--Speaking
of new plots for three-reel movie
thrillers and new serials depicting the
"Trigulations of Teresa" hows this
from real life in the thriving village
OF Roswell?
A letter has been received by Chief
Mayo, of the Atlanta police force, ask
ing that he keep a lookout for a gold
en-hairtd, blue-eyed girl Of thirteen,
who has been stolen from the Donna
Oaks school, near Roswell, by a
strange woman"
The letter further states, as you
would, of course, know, that the mys-
FERROUS strange woman" has black
hair, and that the girl is very pretty.
Beyond these details you have to use
your imagination. 1t doesn't say
whether the strange woman with black
hair is a Gypsy, or whether the golden
haired prisoner is the heiress to nine
ty million dollars found under the old
oak in the pastcre, but Atlanta report
ers are hoping that such will turn out
to be the case.
Bp the way, did you ever hear, in
real life, or in the movies, of golden
haired girl william" capturing raw
en-haired heroine? Does art copy
nature, or does nature copy art?

Wife Is Given
Divorce From
Human Crab

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Consistency
is the prime requisite in the conduct
Of husband toward his wife. He
must keep his average of kindness and
consideration high and make very few
errors if he would measure up to the
standard laid down today by Justict
Morchauser in the Supreme Court at
White Plains.
Judge Modchauser rendered a decis-
ion in the separation suit of Mrs.
Luis De Carrillo, the wife of an orchid
grower of Mamaroneck, who is said to
have an income of $4,000 a wear. De
Carrillo, a former lawyer, conducted
lis own defense. He cross-examined
his wife and got her to admit that he
cid not smoke, drink, gamble, associ-
ate with other women or neglect to
provide for her and her five children.
Mrs. De Carrillo wanted a separation
solely on the ground that her husband
is what ball players call human
crab"
De Garlic voluntarily stated to
the court that he was unable to control
bis temper. The wife and children tes-
tilted that the husband and father, by
his almost continual chickering's, COM
plants and general surly conduct,
made life at the DeCarillo home I'M
hearable.
In awarding the wife separation
and alimony at the rate of $50 a month,
Justice Morschauser said to De Car
rillo:
CAS- I have said before, you don't
have to knock your wife down or
blacken her eye to create cruelty ia
the eyes of the law. Your temper,
conduct, your words and actions to-
ward her have been bad. The man that
loves his wife must love her always
| You cannot treat her brutally some of
the time and then love her afterwards
She cannot stand for this constant
pickering. You can't be the autocrat
when your wife is involved. l must de.
eide in favor of your wife"

Sweden s Cotton Imports We're
Nine Times as Large For War
Six Months as Precious Time

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 21.-Figures
showing the exact increase in Swedish
imports and exports since the begin
ming of the war and upholding the
English contention that Sweden has
acted as valuable channel for the de-
livery of amterials to Germany, have
been obtained by correspondent of
The Associated Press. According to
these statistics, which are as yet uu-
published, and now available for the
first time, Sweden's cotton imports
during the first six months of 1915
were over nine times as large as her
cotton imports during the correspond
ing months of the previous year. From
January to June, 1914, Sweden i'm
ported 2,957, 800 kilos of cotton. Dur.
ing the equivalent period this year, the
import was risen to 109, 926,O31 kilos.
Although cotton shows the most
startling increase, the importation of
other articles has risen considerably.
Twenty three millions kilos Of coffee
have been imported in the list six

PLAYED WITH DYNAMITE CAP.

Biloxi, Miss, Aug. 3.-Elmer CIRQUE
a ten-year-old lad whose home is at
Gautier, was brought to this city Sun
day by his grandmother Mrs. Sey-
more, to receive treatment for in
iuries sustained when he exploded a
dynamite cartridge at his home last
Thursday.
The boy was at play about the house
when he found a dynamite cartridge
on top of the boor jamb. Having no
idea what he had found and not know
ing its deadly nature, the lad tried to
break the cartridge in his fingers
Failing in this, he placed it on the
door sill and struck it with hammer.
The result was instantaneous and
nearly fatal, the lad being knocked
unconscious by the force of he COM
pact. While still unconscious he was
carried to Scranton, where his wounds
were dressed by a physician, who re-
stored him to consciousness.
The lad was badly cut about the
face, hands and elsewhere about his
oody, and for time it was feared he
would lose several of his fingers, but
he is now doing nicely under the treat
ment of physicians and yesterday was
able to be on the street carrying many
evidences of his narrow escape from
death. hut still thankful that he is in
possession of all members of his body
after his exciting experience with the
high explosive.
The physician in charge of the case
expresses the hope that the lad will
suffer no permanent injury as the re-
suit of his experience.

ELECTION INFORMATION.

A crowd which at one time was es-

Front street in front of The News Of

ceived the election returns from both
the county and the state primary,

There was no disturbance of any
kind during the night, and with the
exception of cheers coming now and

SHRIMP MEN AT ODDS,

Biloxi, Miss, Aug. 4.-The first time
in number of years, serious situa-
ton confronts the shrimp industry of
the gulf coast region by reason of the
fact that during the past several
months a fishermen's union has been
organized and the organization is now
holding out for prices which packers
of this city state it will be impossible
for them to meet.
Men who catch shrimp for the vari-
Gus packing plants situated in Biloxi
and elsewhere on the coast maintain
that they have not been paid suffi-
GENTLY for their work and they state
that they are now in position by
reason of the organization Of strong
union to get prices they seek.
The speakers on the other hand,
state that the demands of the fisher
men are not reasonable on account of
the fact that the shrimp market is un-
usually dull and the price of the
shrimp having gone much below that
of last season. Many of the factory
men have supplies of shrimp left from
last season which they have been I'M
able to place on the market.
1t has been stated that factorymen
did not intend to pack a large amount
of the seafood this season and that
the amount packed had to be held up
pending sale. From this point of view
it SENS as if the oystermen have
chosen a wrong time to bring about
change as there are no orders for
shrimp, the foreign market being alb
solutely closed to them. The packers
were submitted contracts by COM
mittee from the union and it has been
stated that they will not recognize it
at all claiming it TO be entirely un.
reasonable.
The Biloxi branch of International
Longshoremen'S Association is COM
posed of between five and seven hun
dred members, which includes nearly
all of the shrimp fishermen in the city.
Being a strong organization the fish
ermen claim that they will be in a
position to enforce their demands.
