Case of Mrs. Cora Lou Vinapn

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 2.-The case Of
Mrs. Cora Lou Vinson, sentenced to
be hanged for the fatal shooting of
her husband, w. D. Vinson, in his Of
flee March 80, 1922, which was appeal
ed to higher tribunals, is expected to
be decided sometime this fal. Vinson,
an Atlanta physician, received one
shot in his body as he sat at his Of
flee desk, and, after he had fallen to
to the floor, his wife shot him three
more times. He died Immediately.
"He told me ] was worn out and
that he wanted young and pretty
woman" Mrs. Vinson testified at her
trial. She did not intend to kill him,
she said II went to his Office to
talk over some matters with him,
but he made me so mad ] just
couldn't keep from shooting him."
The fatal shots were fired from a
revolver which Mrs. Vinson said was
given her by Louis Yinson, son of
DR.. Vinson by a former marriage, for
her protection.
Mrs. Vinson, frail woman of 43
ut the time of the shooting, had been
separated from DR.. Vinson, her Sec
ond husband, for sometime. He
spurned my love-" she said, charging
him with unfaithfulness.
Following the shooting, counsel FOR
the defense filed special plea of in
sanity in Mrs. WILSON'S behalf, al
leging that disordered mental con-
dition was responsible for the kill
ing. After hearing by jury in
Ordinary's Court, however, she was
pronounced sane and placed on trial
for her life. She was convicted on
June 3 and sentenced to be hanged
on July %, the jury returning the
verdict without recommendation for
mercy after deliberating one hour
and ferty-five minutes
Appeals to higher tribunals held up
final disposition of the case.
Mrs. Vinson heard the verdict read
and the sentence passed without any
show of emotion. 81 don't believe
they will hang me-" she said the day
afterward, "for what any woman
would have done under the circum.
stances"
Mrs. Vinson, according to the rec,
ords Of the state historian, is the
fourth white woman to be given the
death sentence in Georgia. Two OF
the others were hanged and the third
pardoned after serving ten years.
Polly Barclay was hanged in 1906
in Wilkes on conviction of paying ;
half brother 5000 to murder her hus
band so she could marry another
man.
Susan Eberhardt was hanged a

murder of Spann's wife in Webster

Missionaries Sail
For China and Japan

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 2.-Of the
SO new missionaries from IL South
ern States being sent to foreign fields
this season by. the Foreign Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, the majority sailed from Sc
sttle today, for points in China and
Japan, while the largest mission work
Of Southern Baptists is being done
according to an announcement by
headquarters Of the Baptist 75-million
campaign. Included in this party
were preachers, evangelists, educa-
tional workers, physicians, nurses,
and William Earle Hines of Spartan
burg, S. c., the first architect eve-
sent out by the board. He will have
headquarters at Shanghai and will
supervise all construction work done
in China by Southern Baptists.
Next to the Orient, Brazil receives
the largest number of new workers,
while still other countries that are re-
ceiving additions to their missionary
staffs this season include Africa, Pal
estine, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and
Mexico. Four American workers go
to Palestine this season, where more
work than ever will be done.
AS result Of the larger funds
made available through the rs Million
Campaign, the board has been en-
abled to open up work in Spain, Jugo-
slavia, Hungary, Rumania, southern
Russia and Siberia, though the mis-
sionary programs In those countries
will be carried out largely through re-

The Salvation Army.

There is sometimes a pardonable in
clination on the part of Washing
tonians to resent the succession Of
appeals to it's generosity made in the
name of charity. Sometimes they can
not but wonder why it is that the
workers for special causes do not con-
trive something new to alterth
monotony Of drives and appeals.
There is. however. something new
in the Salvation Army's appeal which
is being made this week to meet a
budget of approximately $4,000.
There is something new about 1t be-
cause of its purpose to combat that
which, old as the race, is ever new.
Hunger is new always. Homeless
ness and want are new. Desolation,
loneliness and despair are new. The
tragedy of lost hope and faith is new.
Old relentless enemies of mankind
in the mass, these burdens, which
most of us never know. are, and will
always be, new as applied to the in
dividual. To that man or woman or

the stab of loneliness or the dull pain
of despair first comes, there are added
the terror and panic Of one who deals
in the dark with an unknown as
saiiant-
1t is to help such that the Salvation
Army exists. A glance at it's annual
report of field work shows how urgent
is the need for such help. More than
5000 persons attended its meetings
in Washington last year. More than
SO 900 meals were served. More than
90 900 garments were distributed. The
Salvation Army is in very truth a
stanch and compromising friend, ex-
tending a steady hand to those who
sorely need it in the hours when they
grapple with sudden and strange trou-
BILE Washington must stand behind
that splendid work.

Steamship Luxury Complete.

The steamship Majestic of the
White Star line, which sailed from
Southampton yesterday on her first
voyage across the Atlantic, is the
largest ship in the world, both in
lines and tonnage.
The most remarkable thing about
this new giantess, however, is some
thing that is negative. According to
the dispatches from the other side.
the Majestic. which is the first great
passenger steamship built since the
end of the war. offers little new in
luxury. She has everything that the
imagination and ingenuity of man
can provide for the seagoer, but no
great innovation can be inventoried.
Suites de luxe, swimming pools, gym
nasiums-all these she has, but all
these are familiar to the traveller who
has used any one Of the finest half
dozen of the liners.
Has the inventiveness of the steam
ship designer come to the end of the
road? If there were anything new
the Majestic should wear it, for in
her are the British pride of owner
ship and the German pride of work
manship; for the Majestic. when her
keel was laid, eight years ago, was
intended to be the Bismarck.-New
York Herald independently.

Both when Mr.. Knox died and when
mentioned for the vacancy. In fact,
his immediate appearance in the SEN
ate was predicted. The arrangement
suggested was for him to resign the
office of governor and accept from his
successor appointment to the Senate.
He rejected the suggestion, giving
the opinion that his duty required him
to remain at Harrisburg; that the peo-
pie had commissioned him for service
there and that he must keep faith
with them.
He was highly complimented on his
decision, and especially when it was
observed that in each case he had ap-
pointed a man Of force who might be
in the senatorial path for years, clos
ing the way to the governor well
known senatorial ambition.
The governor sensed the situation at
home correctly. He saw that the or
ganization to which he belonged was
menaced and required his presence on
the scene; that if he left Harrisburg
for Washington and disaster came he
would be accused of running away
and providing for himself in the face
of danger.
1t is to be doubted if the situation
could have been saved even by Mr..
Penrose himself. He had been dying
for months, with his condition known
to all. and in that way his prestige
had become much impaired. What
physical strength remained to him he
devoted to his work in the Senate,
and he died in harness in Washington.
The political viewpoint is. as rule,
fatalistic. Hence the notion is that the
time for change had come. and that
nothing could have stayed it.
Gov. Sprouts future is fair game
for speculation. He will probably try
his luck again. A Pennsylvania poll
tician is not easily discouraged.

Base Ball and "Daylight-Saving."

Almost Immediately after the adop-
ton of the daylight saving rule in
the departments without any change
ceived by the management of the
Washington base ball club for a later
starting of the daily games. 1t was
urged that with the government offices
closing at $3.50 it would be possible for
the workers to get TO the ball park to
see the whole game If the starting hour
was shifted to 3:45 from $3.50. The
management. always ready to oblige
when there is a prospect of more click
ing at the turnstiles, consented. So
the games, save on Sunday, now start
at a quarter to 4. Consequently in
the homes of those who attend. din
ner, already a somewhat movable
feast on ball-game days, is showed
along fifteen minutes. Thus. instead
of daylight saving meaning earlier
dinner, it means even later dinner for
those who go to the games and their
families.
rather rough on the domestics. The
day has begun in those homes at G
or $50 o'clock, and does not end until
long after in the evening. Somebody
other than the general housework'
assistant who comes from outside
must attend to details of food prepare
ton and serving at one end of the day
or the other. The meals schedule be,
tween breakfast and dinner is extend
ed. The evening is shortened for
recreation or the night for sleep.
This is not matter of urgent i'm
mediate consequence. for the schedule
soon takes the ball team out of town
However, the possibility remains that
later long stretches of time. will come
when the base ball games will be the
occasion of much domestic strain. The
hope is that before the next series is
started on the local lot the clocks
will have been changed.

Our Family Trees.

The strongest argument we know in
favor Of evolution is the circus. Nothing
else so well explains its mistaken hold
upon generation after generation, upon
old and young. A circus without ami
mails would be only half circus. It
becomes a complete circle only when
the human arc is Joined to the animal
segment. In other words, both are nee
essary to this STORY of mankind" The
animals, domesticated or wild. are our
contemporary ancestors" When they
come to town with their evolved human
descendants the deeps Of nature call to
each other, and a curious and compell-
ing instinct bids us give them welcome.
From some far-off ancestral jungle we
hear the call Of the wild. and we throng
the streets and the tented shrines to
trace our lineage to it's source.
In the circus the beginning and the
end meet. And the question is which
end is nearer the real jungle-Balti-
more Sun independent democratic).
