PRISONER DEBS IS
TOLD OF NOMINATION
CEREMONY NEAR ATLANTA WAS
UNIQUE IN HISTORY OF
AMERICAN POLITICS.

ATLANTA.-The strangest cere-
mony in the history of American pol
itics, and a scene unique in the an
nails of prisons, took place Saturday
morning at the federal penitentiary
near Atlanta, when Eugene V. Debs,
convict No. 1858, serving a ten years
sentence for sedition, was formally
rendered the nomination for presi-
dent of the United States.
The socialists of Atlanta and other
supporters of Debs held a mass meet
ing Sunday afternoon at the w. o..
w. hall, but the candidate about
whom the speeches conferred was I'M
able to attend, although but a few
miles away.
Among the personages who called
upon Candidate Debs at the federal
prison and spoke at the mass meeting
were Seymour Stedman of Chicago,
candidate for vice president on the
socialist ticket with Debs; James
O'Neal, editor of the New York Call,
the principal socialist newspaper, and
Otto Branstetter of Chicago, national
executive secretary of the socialist
party.
Julius Gerber of New York and DR..
Madge Patten Stephens of Terre
Haute, were the official representa-
tives of the party to notify Debs of
his nomination.
The ceremonies at the prison were
simple. There were some fifteen per-
sons present at the meeting, which
was in a spacious room on the
ground floor of the prison, only the
barred windows that broke the view
of beautiful lawn giving sinister
effect.
Debs showed great joy at meeting
his comrades composing, the nomina-
ton committee, greeting each with
kiss.
Under prison rules Debs could not
issue statement, but he made a
brief speech in which he thanked the
party for the honor again conferred
upon him and expressed his regret
that he could do so little personally
in his campaign.

PARROT YOUNG LADY
MYSTERIOUSLY HURT
MISS BERTHA LEE FOUND UN.
CONSCIOUS IN ELEVATOR
OF AN ATLANTA STORE.

Miss Bertha Lee, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Lee of Parott, was
found unconscious in a pool of blood
in one of the elevators of the Davi-
son-Paxon-Stokes department store in
Atlanta Monday afternoon of last
week. The gruesome discovery was
made by shoppers entering the eleva-
tor, three fainting from the shock.
For several months Miss Lee has
studied music in Atlanta and had evil
IDENTIFY gone directly from the con-
servatory to the store, as she carried
in her hand roll of music which for
tunately had her name written across
the page, and proved her identified
ton.
A physician reached the scene
of the accident in very few minutes
and expressed the opinion that the
young lady would not live an hour.
Her entire body was horribly bruised,
the injury to one hip being espe-
cially severe. Her skull was fractured
and the jaw bone broken in two
places, the teeth being shaken loose.
She was removed at once to hos
pital, where two doctors and two
nurses have since been in constant at
tendance.
A saleslady in the store who knew
Miss Lee notified the family at Par
rott by long distance telephone. Her
mother and brother left at once in
car to catch a train at Column
bus, as the quickest route. Young Mr..
Lee returned to Parrot, but made an
other trip to Atlanta Saturday &C
companied by his father and an uncle,
Mr.. George Lee, in an automobile.
The young man remained in Atlanta
to make thorough investigation with
/ the hope of having some light thrown
| on what is shrouded in mystery. Miss
Lee has been unable to give any ex-
PLANTATION, though she has rallied suf-
ficiently to know what is going on
about her and the anxious watchers
are greatly relieved to find that her
mind is quite clear. Messrs. Henry
and George Lee returned home Mon
day, the attending physicians having
assured them that in all probability
Miss Lee would recover, though it
will necessarily be slow. Mrs. Lee
will remain with her daughter until
she can be moved, which the doctors
will not permit under a month.
Miss Lee is one of the most popu-
lar young ladies of the county and is
especially gifted in music. She had
just signed a contract with the Red
path Chautauqua to do concert work.
News of the accident caused wide
spread sorrow and the ray of hope
held out to her family brings relief to
many anxious friends.

Montezuma Loses Again.
Another game was chalked up on
the right side of the ledger Monday
whom the locals took Montezuma in
camn TO the tune of 8 to 1. The game
was devoid of features with the ex-
cention of the excellent pitching of
Ianier. This lad struck out ten, gave
IN six hits and didn't issue a free
PASS. Crouch made a nice stop of a
hard hit ball off Felton's bat in the
eighth. This hit was labeled triple,
but fast fielding cut it down to sin
gle. Montezuma threatened in the
first. but Montfort failed to touch sec
ond. thus cutting a dangerous rally
short.
Dawson tailed three in the opener
on successive hits and five in the third
on hits and errors. The Montezuma
bunch took the air route in this in
ming and before the smoke cleared a
total of five had been pushed across
the pan.

have a real ball team the better 1T

there's a real crowd out there pulling

Dawson Wins From Arlington.
For the second time, the fast and
snappy ball team of Arlington fell be-

and this time in their own back yard.
However, it must be said that the
home boys put up gallant fight be-
hind their young southpaw twirler,
but lack of judgment on the part of
their outfeld department proved a
severe Jolt to their machine. The final

term drew to close the public once
more turned to him with confidence
and affection and would have had him
take the presidency third time, to
keep the government steady in its new
ways. But he would not have the
hard office again. Then he issued his
final address. which, he said. was "de-
signed in more special manner for
the yeomanry of the country" and
spoke the advice he hoped they might
take to heart.
When the day came on which he
should resign his office to John Adams,
the great civilian who was to succeed
him. there was a scene which left no
one in doubt, not even Washington
himself, what the people thought of
the leader they had trusted these
twenty years. A great crowd was as
sembled to see the second Inaugural
ton. but very few of the throng
watched Adams. All eyes were bent
upon that great figure in black velvet.

No one stirred until he had left the

to the new president.
Then they and all the crowd in the
streets moved after him. an immense
company going as one man, sin total

turned upon the threshold of the presi-
dents lodgings and looked. as If for

last he went within n great smOthered

The custom of celebrating February
- in honor of Washngton's birthday
dates back to 1888. On that day and
year number of gentlemen who ad-

another brought list of toasts. The
celebration at once became popular

But there was considerable part

the whole people.
But the times had now changed. In
1883 and 1892 every man was for him.
In 1876 In every town and city of the
