Charity Meeting

A call has been issued for a meeting
at the Carnegie Library at 5 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon of the Associated
Charities members and as many others
who are interested in the work as will
attend.
please impress upon the peoeple," ,"
said Miss Emma Mae Borum, secre-
tary of the organization, that what
we need more than anything else is
interest. 1t isn't SO hard to get money
but it does seem dreadfully hard to get
people sufficiently interested in this
charity work to carry it on success
fully, and people must take an active
interest. For that reason we want to
have large attendance at this meet
ing, at which the future work of the
organization may be discussed and
planned"

40 Gallons Seized

ATLANTA, May 27.-A spectacular
and exciting whiskey catch was made
at the corner of Broad and Alabama
streets in the downtown district. An
automobile rounded the corner from
fhich emanated the unmistakable odor
of liquor and was stopped and seized
by a plain clothes man and two po-
lice. Hidden about the machine was
forty gallons Of whiskey. The gazing
crowds turned their attention from
the airplane cutting didoes in the air
to the liquor machine and many pleas
for "just one little drink" were frown-
ed down by the officers. One negro
wept bitterly because the officers
would not fill up his coffee can.

NC-4 REACHES PORTUGAL
Women Peeved at
Registering When
Age is Not Asked

A TLANTA, May 27.-Some of At
"A lanta's prominent suffrage
leaders became quite peevish yes
terday when the clerks in the Of
flee of Lucien Harris, tax collec-
tor of Fulton county and city regis
trar of Atlanta courteously re-
Trained from asking the women
their ages as they presented them
selves at the window to register
for the city white primary.
Lucien Harris is son of the
late beloved Joel Chandler Harris,
author of Uncle Remus" and
other books of national reputation.
Perhaps his ideas of courtesy to-
wards the ladies are bit old-fash-
ioned and out-of-date. Maybe that
is why he quietly tipped Csf the
clerks in his Office to sorS of slide
over the questions relating to the
ages of the new voters.
Where a lady wanted to tell her
age and volunteered the informa-
ton, the clerk put it down. But
where she seemed the least bit shy
on the subject she was not en-
barrassed by having the question
put to her point blank. This ap-
parently was quite a relief for
good many of the suffragettes, but
the leaders among them, the ones
who do the talking for publication,
were miffed and peeved.
1t is ridiculous and absurd, they
declared-this mollycoddling of
women. The sooner men learn
that women are human beings, en-
dowed with minds of their own
and capable of taking care of them
selves, the sooner will some of
the problems of society be solved,
they declared with vehemence. Wo-
men no longer will submit to be
coddled and protected by the male
of the species, they further assert
ed Any woman who objects to
telling her age ought not to be
allowed to vote, etc,

HUNTED FOX VESSELS

eve had very difficult ground to rise
from on the other side" said Hawker.
ITO rise at all we had to run diagon-
ally across the course.
"Once we got away we climbed well,
but about ten minutes up we passed
from firm, clear weather into New
oundland fog banks We got we'll over
these, however, and of course, at
once lost sight of the sea.
''The sky was quite clear for the
first four hours, when the visibility
became very bad. Heavy cloud banks
were encountered and eventually we
flew into a rain storm which rained
squalls.
AT this time we were flying well
above the clouds at height of about
$4,000 feet"
(Section missing)
"We, of course, realized that until
the pipe was cleared we could not
rise much higher, without using
lot OF motor power. When we were
about twelve and oneIhalf hours on
our way, the circulation system was
still giving trouble and we realized
we could not go On using motor power.
Then it was that we reached the
first fateful decision to play for safe
ty We changed our course and be-
gan flying diagonally across the main
shipping lane for about two and a
half hours when, to our great relief
We sighted Danish steamer, which
proved to be the tramp, Mary.

signals. These were answered prompt
ly and then we flew on about two
miles and landed in the water ahead

MACON WOMAN'S
$4,000 SUIT FOR
DAMAGES TRIED

The first jury trial at this term of
the Sumter Superior court, except for
few divorce cases which were heard
Monday afternoon, was the damage
suit of Mrs. M. Goldman VS.. Franc
Mangum and w. Martin Meadows, call
ed this morning, in which Mrs. Cold
mn, whose home is in Macon, is su-
ing the defendants for $4,000 for per-
sonal injuries. Meadows is a well-to-
do salesman of Macon, and is repre-
sented by T. S. Fielder, of Macon, one
of the best known lawyers in Geor-
ga Mrs. Goldman is represented by
Robert W. Barnes. of Macon, and R.
l.. Maynard, of Americus. Mangum de-
Tended himself
The case grew out of an automobile
accident in Macon in March, 1917, in
which a Buick car owned by Meadows,
but which was peing driven by Man
gum, mounted the thickly crowded
sidewalk in front of the Princess
theater in Macon in the late after
noon, knocking Mrs. Goldman down
and, among other injuries, crushing
her wrist. There was no dispute over
the main facts in the case. Mangum
admitted that he was operating the
car, but said he was unfamiliar with
it and. when starting it from the place
where it was parked at the curb, sent
it forward, instead of backwards, as
he intended.
1t was shown that Meadows had
given him permission to drive the
car and was in it himself at the time
of the accident. 1t was the contention
of Meadows that he was not liable for
the accident in any respect. The crux
of the legal battle in the case was on
his liability. Attorney Barnes for
the prosecution, attempted unsuccess-
fully to secure an admission from
both Mangum and Meadows that they
were starting on trip primarily in
tending to visit a mutual friends
drug store to obtain package" or
something" which they were to
have shared. They admitted they
visited this friend, but only incident
ally to another trip.
Mrs. Goldman, comely woman,
was the first witness. Her arm, which
is now crooked anad enlarged at the
wrist, the point of the fracture, was
exhibited to the jury. The taking of
testimony was resumed after the noon
recess, and it was expected that the
case would go to the jury by adjourn
ment time this evening.

morning on account of Crawford
Wheatley, the foreman, being called
to Atlanta to attend the funeral of a

grand jury, but no indictments were
returned against the Lackey brothers,
the instigators and perpetrators of
the offense, who have left the state,
aud it was believed in some quarters
that none would be returned, largely
because of the advice of Judge Little
john in his charge that it would be a
mistake to magnify the affair too
much. One report, however, was that
the matter would be taken up Wed
nesday.
The following true bills were re-
turned, all the parties being under ar
rest and either under bond or held in
jail, as indicated;
