4 NEW WRITER
AND AN OLD TOWN.

When you have read the exquisitee
little STORY of Angelo Glynn,'' with
which Ada Jack Carver carried off the
third prize in the Southern Woman's
Magazines recent short story con-
test, you will doubtless wonder where
in this new, new land of ours this
young writer could have found an at
mosphere wonderfully and persistent
" pictureque and fragrant, yet so vital
with the eager soul OF. life and love.
The fashion of her writing carries
with it a sense of personal and init
ate knowledge of the sweetness and
tragedy that she has blended in 50
rare way in her story, and it is with
feeling of real discovery that the
name of her birthplace gives the clue to
the charm. Miss Carver was born and
| lives in Natchitoches, Louisiana, q
quaint old town that goes back in his
tory to the long-age days of the six
teen hundreds, when some of the fol
lowers of La Sale were attracted by
| tie friendliness of the Nakatosh In
dams and made a settlement there
among them. From that time until to-
day it has lived in picturesque touch
with the dignifed, light-hearted and
aristocratic life of the Spanish and the
French, enlivened by the adventur'
Gus American pioneer. 1t was at one
tic the very heart of Latin-Americs
and, to the magic of its older memoir
les, it later added the tragic and her
ole traditions of the Souths Los
Cause.
1t is wonderful spot for new
writer with just the delicate freshness
and piquant tenderness of style thai
Miss Carver is showing, even thus

MAYOR JEEMs IS NOT So
MUCH ON SOFT DRINKS

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 1S.-Mayor
james G. Woodward does not care
much for soft drinks. When a boy
came into his Office at the city hall with
a tray, the mayor said:
boy, get out of here! never have
drunk more than six bottles of soft
drinks, and that was at baseball games
where l was thirsty and couldn't buy
anything else"
Mayor WOODWARD. who is now in his
eventieth-eighth year was never tee
totaler. He takes a drink of wine,
whiskey or beer Whenever he feels like
it, and he does not care who knows it.
Mayor Woodward has served several
terms as mayor and will retire at the
end of his present term. He will prob
ably be succeeded by Asa G. Gambler,
the multi-millionaire soft drink manu-
facturer.

In the business situation that will at

thorough investigation into the situa-

Mr.. Winburn touched briefly on the
changes in trade conditions which will
inevitably result from the radical re-
auctions of interstate rates to many
points OF consumption, and the al
most revolutionary changes In agrl-
cultural practices which are at work
in the South and will minimize the
freight business Of the railroads, both
in and out bound.
He called attention to the large ex-
penditures which have been made in
recent years for improvement of road
way and equipment, and continued
expenditures of this character which
must be made in the future. He point
ed out that reductions in revenues
and increases in expense, have reduc-
ed the slight margin of profit to the
point where the ability of the carriers
to obtain the necessary capital to
make these necessary improvements,
Is largely impaired.
Cost OF Operation

some statistics dealing with the in
creased cost of operation, due to the

but your petitioners in this case are
under urgent necessity of readjust-

the same time are under urgent ne

traordinary low State rates to provide
them with means to keep pace with

DREAM Of STRIPPING
PUT INTO VERSE

ATLANTA. Ca, Aug. 1S.-Old Sarge
Plunkett. whose quaint and homely
philosophy frightened the pages of
Georgia papers several decades ago,
emerged from his retirement in De.
Kalb county this week and presented
to Governor Nat E. Harris a poetic
tribute inspired by the pardon of Rob-
ert Edgar Stripping, the Georgia Jean
Vatican" dying in the state prison. The
poem follows:
STRIPLING'S DREAM.
dedicated to Governor Harris)
AS convict he lay on his bunk, al
night,
He dreamed that his pardon was
near,
The board had approved his petition
all right
And his freedom from chains seemed
clear;
He smiled as he dreamed, and his heart
beat fast,
In this place where the convicts
groan,
He lived once again mid the scenes OIL
his past
Unshackled, unclaimed, at his
home.
With dear ones around him the bright
fire burned
And children climbed up on his
knee,
But alas, and alas, his dream soor
turned
And told he would never be free;
Oh, could you have seen the agony
then
That spread like cloud DER his
face.
The hardest of hearts would have fell
it sin
To chain one for life in such place.
-
But hope, sweet hope, no man coulC
stand it,
However abandoned he be,
Justice and law should never de
mand it
And mercy should let many free;
1t is not for revenge that good Law
should seek
Atone by repentance, not time
Bound tightly in chains makes any mar
meek
And truly repent of his crime.
Our great God forgives, then VIII!
should man
So stiffen his neck and proclaim,
The edicts of courts should stubbornly
stand,
And appeals for pardons make vain;
II the thousands who vote could a
once understand
How appeals" touch the heart AM
embarrass,
Not Pottle, nor Hardman, nor Dorse!
could plan
A political wall to hurt Harris.
