Two Women In Atlanta Claiming
One Baby

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1.-The wisdom
of Solomon will be required of a
Judge and jury if a threatened suit
to determine which of two women is
the mother of little Louise Madeline,
is filed.
Mrs. John C.. Garner and Mrs. David
L. Pittman, who gave birth to girls
on the same night at the Grady Hos
pital, claim the baby. Mrs. Garner
alleges that a mistake was made at
the hospital and that she was given
the wrong baby.
Mary Elizabeth, the other infant,
is being cared for by Mrs. Garner,
but disowned by both women.
"They made a mistake and gave
my baby to Mrs. Pittman, but in
tend to get her back if have to take
the matter into the courts" Mrs.
Garner declared today.
"The ideaw asserted Mrs. Pittman,
who was custody OF little Louise Mad
cline. "This is my child. No mistake
has been made. l do not believe that
Mrs. Garner can submit enough proof
to take my child from me-"

ICES that she is not mine, said Mrs.
Garner, speaking of little Mary Eliz-
abeth. There's something missing
that l can't define.
"This is not my child. A mothers
love tells me that. want to look af-
ter the baby, but l know that | can
never love it as l do my other chill
dren. The baby will leave me at any
time to 60 into the arms of Mrs.
Pittman, l don't think that would
happen if she were my own little
girl"

theatre, a building that will cost in
the neighborhood of S25,000.00. 1t is
to be located on the lot belonging to
Mr.. w. B. Brockington on the corner
of Mill and Academy streets, and its
erection will do away with the dilap-
idated old fran structure now To-
Gated there and which has long since
become an eye sore to citizens Of the
town. Mr.. Brockington will build the
new theatre under the direction of
Mr.. C. j. Thompson who will lease

Death of Mr.. Jas. A. Kelley

Mr.. Jas. A. Kelley of Timmonsville,
died at the Kelley Sanitorium here
about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, af-
ter several weeks illness and painful
suffering. The deceased was promi-
nent farmer and most estimable
citizen. Several years ago he got one
of his arms torn off in his gin, but
in spite of the severe shock and his
advanced years he recovered and re-
sumed his usual active life. Then
again something over one year ago
he got his other arm caught in the
same gin, badly mangled, but he did
not lose it. Some weeks ago he be-
came painfully ill and it was thought
necessary to take out one of his eyes
in order to save him from total blind
ness. He was taken to Charleston and
there received the best attention that
medical skill could give, but pneu-
monia developed and he gradually
grew worse. He seemed to know that
his live was ebbing away and wanted
to return here that he might spent
his last days with his family. He was
brought back to Kingstree Tuesday
night of last week and from that
time on had the loving, tender care of
family and friends.
Mr.. Kelley was 60 years of age
and is survived by his wife, one
daughter and three sons, of the lat
ter are DR.. Edward T. Kelley and Mr..
Charlton ]. Kelley of this place. The
remain of the deceased were taken,
by train, Tuesday evening, to Tim
monsville for interment.
Those accompanying the corpse
were Mrs. ia. A. Kelley, DR.. and Mrs.
E. T. Kelley, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Kel-
ley, and the Rev. E. A. Mcdowell,
Mrs. Stubs, Miss Smoak, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Holiday.
