''Ten me about yourself. Are you

Now, Margie, you certainly know
that old Persian saying which freely
translated runs: We have heard that
there is such a thing as perfect hap
piness in heaven
But are you as happy as you were
years ago in your first marriage with
Bill? No, DEAR" FASTENED to say as

THOS. DIXON WILL ERECT
MONUMENT IN HONOR
OF HIS UNCLE

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 30.-Confed-
crate veterans and sons of veter-
ans, as well as Daughters of the
Confederacy and members of 9th
er patriotic organizations deriv-
ing their inspiration from events
in the Civil War, have manifested
much interest in Atlanta in the re-
ported plan of Thomas Dixon,
author of "Thc Birth of a Nation"
to erect a monument at Shelby,
N. c.. to the memory of Colonel
McAfee, his uncle, who is said to
have been the original of the Lit
tie Colonel in the famous photo
play, and said to have been one
of the founders of the I<u Klux
Klan. 1t is proposed to make the
monument not only a memorial
to Colonel McAfee, who was a
hero of the Civil War, but a mem
orial to the Ku Klux Khan. This
will be achieved by clothing the
equestrian statue OF Colonel Nc
Afee in the uniform of the Klan.

CARNIVAL CLOSES
TOMORROW NIGHT

Tomorrow night will end the
engagement of the Con t. Ken
nedy shows in the city, and there
are many amusement devotees
here who would like to have them
stay another week, but their
schedule forbids. The different
attractions have given universal
satisfaction and Fitzgerald pa
irons have been loud in their
praise Of the shows. The bust
ness like manner in which every
thing is conducted on the mid
way, the neat and clean appear
ance of everything and the excel
lent programs, have made last
ing impression here.
The blood-curdling, thrilling
exhibition given in the Auto
drome has caused no end of talk
in this city. Miss Dorothy Con-
nell, the "milea-minute girl" is
the raging sensation, and the
manner in which this fearless lit
tie woman drives her motorcycle
on the perpendicular wall makes
even the bravest gasp for breath.
Harvey Wright, champion trick
and fancy rider, is a daredevil in
every sense of the word. No one
ever in Fitzgerald has had such
marvellous control of motorcycle
as this lad, who performs stunts
others would not dare to dupli-
cate Lester Knox, the third
member of the trio, is also an ex-
ceptionally good rider. He is a
speed demon, and at every show
races his motorcycle against the
automobile.
All of the other shows are of
high standard and have delighted
hundreds. The attractions will
be open until late tomorrow night
and the programs given in their
entirety. Those who have not at
tended the festival should make
the most of the opportunity while
the Kennedy. shows are here.

Mr.. Farmer made a strong ap-
peal to them for more intelligent

WATSONS CASE
IN HANDS OF JURY

Augusta, Ga, Nov. 3O.-The
case OF Thos. E. Watson, charged
with having sent obscene matter
through the mails, went to the
jury in the federal court here at
o:38 o'clock tonight, and at 1890
the jury retired for the night
without having reached verdict.
The jury will be brought into
court at 10 o'clock tomorrow,
which will be the earliest that
the defendant can know its de-
clslon should one be reached by
them.
The jury was told by presiding
Judge Lambdin in his charge that
the question to be decided was
whether or not the language cited
IN the four counts of the indict-
ment had been mailed, or caused
to be mailed by the defendant,
and whether or not it was cob
scene, lewd, lascivious or filthy"
as charged. Watson today admit
ted responsibility for the mailing
and the court, mentioning this,
said the serious controversy"
was on the question of the nature
of the language
Judge Lambdin also told the
jury that the question of truth of
the articles themselves was not at
issue. The articles were attacks
on the Roman Catholic church.
Larger Crowd Than Usual
A larger crowd than usual
sought admission to the court
room for the afternoon session to
hear the arguments in the case,
and when the doors were thrown
open shortly before court con-
vened, the crush was SO great that
John Murphy, 12-year-old boy;
was pressed against the court
room door and his arm broken.
In the course of summing up
his defense Watson gave latitude
i'll the use Of words mentioned in
she Indictment, and read quota
tions from many books, including
the Bible.
The defendant went into detail
with reference to the portions of
the indicted matter, which were
in Latin, and argued the language
was not ineligible to others than
scholars.
AS the speaking concluded there
was brief outburst of approval
from some of the spectators.
Plea for Conviction
District Attorney Donaldson,
who made the final address, based
his plea for conviction mainly on
the alleged violation of the federal
penal law by the language used in
the publications and declared that
the prosecution had proved Wat
sons responsibility for mailing
them and that the defendant ''then
having no other course" had adj
mitted it. He read the articles
from the issues of the Jeffersonian
and the Watson's Jeffersonian
Magazine, and argued for the in
eligibility of the Latin phrases,
which had been discussed nearly
every day since the trial began
last Monday.

Bv OMER X. BENFDICTD

CSy OMER *. BENEDICT)
The above is an extract from a quar-
ter-page advertisement of Rev Frank
Arnold, evangelist ut the First Presby-
terian church, Tulsa, appearing in The
World of Wednesday morning
That's u sermon in itself on Prog
ress.
Indeed the "old folks at home" We're
Ncalled TO church by a bell"
y How we used to hate the sound OF
that bell-when we we're boys--and
how we love its ringing sounds today.
The bell on Sunday morning might
have meant "call to church" to the
"old folks" but to the boys it meant
something else.
In our family there were five boys
and three girls, and the bell on sun
day morning meant to line up, and we
lined up-for what? The weekly
scrubbing. How well do | remember
how mother used to catch us one by
one around the neck with her left hand
and begin an excavation in our ear.
with what l thought at the time was
either gimlet or a corncob. How
she would screw down into unknown
depths of my ears, as ! squirmed anN
baWled, and just when | thought she
was through she would take a fresh
hold and begin sandpaper operation
on my neck and then encase 1t in n
starchy, scratchy ruffled collar three
sizes to small. That's what the bell
meant to the younger generation or
the "old folks at home"
After mother had done her worst
she would send us out to the pump on
the back porch and make us wash
our feet and PUT ON SHOES. Anu
when we were all perked up she would
go over to the bureau drawer, pull out
neatly folded kerchief, put 1t in our
top pocket, with third of it showing,
and caution us not to take ii out, but
to bring 1t back and put 1t away for
the next Sunday, she having cleaned
out our nose before starting with the
under side of an old gingham apron,
which we thought In those days she
clasped on TO our nasal extremity winI
q clothespin or vice and then let 1t
slip off, sorter careless like. Then,
placing a little red -edged Testament,
which was labeled Xmas from
Mother" In our hand she would ad.
monish us to remain at church.
And the first question she would ask
us when We came home sonny, did
you stay for church ?" And we'd say,
YES, ma'am." What vas the text,
dearie? ?" mad ask and then she had
us. But finally we learned to read the
text in Saturdays paper. and that
saved us from getting caught in false
hood many time. Bless the daily
newspapers.
Them was the good old days,
though. when the 'old folks at home"
were called to church by a BELL
