SUIT AGAINST DR. EMERSON. ai
Bromo-Seltzer Millionaire is Sued pi
for $100,000 by His Son-in-Law,
Dr. Horner. .,
ill
( Tlio State. 01
Dr. J. 10. Emerson, the bromo-setl- -?
/ci millionaire who has bought a 4
beautii ul homo at Georgetown, and i
has a great many acquaintances in <(
thi*. state, has been brought into no- o*
toriety which must be unpleasant on [
account of a suit filed against him by "!
P. Mitchell Horner, his son-in-law.
A dispatch from Baltimore says:
i..Mitchell Horner, who resided i
foi 30 years in Atlanta as the resident
manager of the Bromo-Se,ltzer ?X
Dm.; company, after he married Miss j*0
Daisy Emjcrson of Baltimore, filed >!
suit today in court against Dr. and i
Mrs. Isaac .E. Emerson, claiming M
$100,000 for the alienation of his '
wife's affections.
C(l\ It . 1,1
nr. Emerson is I he man who n?
made millions out of bromo-selt/.er, j|,
> after he discovered the secret pre- p,
\ l)iU'at'n>ii, while a poor druggist, and js
* since coming into his wealth has been -lo
I a world traveler and enjoying the P(]
good things of this world in a lavish
manner.
n 0I'
'Ifois-ier claims that his wife's af- th
feet ions have not only been alienated Co
but he has been unable to locate her. to
; He has sent her many letters, some in or
caie of her parents, but no answer al
has been forthcoming. Erom other m:
'sources it is learned that Mrs. Iforoor
i, abroad, presumably in London, m
will; her other married sister. to
"East May, while the Homers
were living in Atlanta, the wife re- sl'
ceived an invitation from her father 111
? ver the long distance telephone, to ,K
accompany him to Europe. This was vv'
( agreeable to Horner, and the wife f''
loft. Since that time he has not seen s<
her. Subsequently orders were receivi
ed from Baltimore to close the drug cc
| company branch in Atlanta, and Hoi"
ner was dismissed as the manager, so
it is alleged. f<i
"Mrs. Emerson denied that she
had aided in the alienation of Mrs.
Horner s atlection for her husband,
and said that while she knew where ^
her daughter was located she would re
not divulge her whereabouts. ?1
"When the Homers lived'in Atlanta
they liar build on Peachtree street
one of the handsomest residence on
that thoroughfare. They lived in 1,1
luxury and were prominent in the ex
> gay set of that city. Mr. Horner ns
comes of a prominent Baltimore I'am- ,u
ily." ti
An Atlanta special says: "Mr.
and Mrs. T. Mitchell Horner lived in 'M
Atlanta for some eight or nine years, m
and during that time were prominent 'K
socially. Mrs. Horner owned a beaut
iful home near Brookwood, and en- of
tertained lavishly. Tali and striking
looking, she attracted attention wher- sc
ever she went for her elegant costumes
which gave her the reputation w
of being one of the best, dressed wornen
in the city. CvS
"T. Mitchell Horner was better
known to his friends as 'Jack.' He
is a Harvard graduate;, a lover of 1,1
horseflesh, and a hale fellow well
met, who had hundreds of friends. He
was ever a good spender, and nothing
was too good for his friends. He ^
^ eared little for society. V1
"Some months ago it was rumored ^
! that things were not going at all *'1
smoothly with the Homers, but littic
attention was paid to the rumors,
as society had heard other rumors of
the kind a year or so before. However.
there came a day when gossip ')(
was given a more definite form. Mrs. "/
Horner left the city, and left instrnclions
with a local real estate linn to '
dispose of her horses and a number 11
' of personal effects.
^ "Mr. Horner confided lo his sl
friends that his wife had left him. He !>l
spent the summer at Lithia Springs." "

THE DEBT TO MISSIONARIES. 1,1
ai
New York Evening Post. 111
Dispatches from London speak of a 111
serious strain between the American
i Congregational missionaries in Natal '
and the authorities. The Government's
hostility is based on the alleg- .
ed fact that in the formidable Zulu in- ^
surrection of 1006 the spirit if disloy- pi
I alty was particularly strong among n.'
the natives connected with Christian w
missions. The Congregational system
of erecting churches under native pas- .
Jors is specially objected to, because {*
it tends to inculcate in the natives a
1 spirit of independence which is in- n.1
compatible with the safe maintenance ^
of European control. The charges of ^
disloyalty have been denied by the n(
secretary of the American board of fl
foreign missions, who asserts that out .
[ of tiie thousands who participated in 11
last year's uprising in Natal, "our ^
I converts showed loyalty to the Gov- u!
| crnment by jeopardizing their lives," J1
"<l altogether 'Mess than fifteen did
'.vthing that could possibly be interet<
d as disorderly.' '
The .situation in Natal is typical of
e growing hostility with which collial
administrators the world over
ok upon the white missionary. lie
unpopular throughout British South
frica and in India, King Leopold
>es not love him in the Congo, Gerany
has had trouble with him in
nitlnvest Africa and the Cameroons,
id he has been described as a genernuisance
in China. And the renn
is everywhere the same. The navc
convert, "spoiled" by too liberan
interpretation of the Gospel and
cessivc humanitarian coddling, hemes
restive, insubordinate and inited
with ambitions that are totally
variance with political expediency.
2v. James L. Barton's reply that less
an fifteen Christian converts took
irl in the Zulu insurrection may, for
stance, turn on I to be a fairlv darning
admission, if il -Mould be shown
a I these fifteen were among the
ominc.nl leaders of the revolt. Thai
precisely the grievance of the varus
colonial administrators, that the
Ideational work of the missionaries
rves to create a class of native lead,
s who in turn act upon the mass of
e population. Thus in Natal the
vernment insists that native pasrs
be replaced by white clergymen,
, in other words, that no African be
lowed to attain a position of proinence.
However, we fail to see why the
issinnaiies should think it necessary
assume an apologetic attitude in
e matter. Rather their position
ould be the militant one. For they
usf know that not only have thev
en in larue measure l!u> pi< neers
lio have built up colonial realms for
urope, but are. still a powerful ininment
for the prosecution of tha?t
v.ilix.ing work which the military,
mmander and the trader would so
eatly like to have out of the way. Il
really an open quest-ion whether,
ir every native uprising that misunarv
education can be made resmsiblc
for, you would not have a
tzen uprisings il the missionarv iuuence
were not present to act as a
straint upon political and economic
>pression on the part of the dominil
whites.
Practically what, the .lingo Tmpevlist
says to the mission worker is
is: You may show the way to us by
:ploring and mapping virgin country,
; Livingstone did; you may compile
itive syllabaries and accounts of nave
customs and modes of thought so
tat we may communicate with them
the performance of our duties; you
ay build hospitals, orphanages and
>uses of refuge, and preach physical
eanliness and sanitation; you may
casionally offer a victim to the
irv of the mob; you may even erect
hools, if you will see to it that the
lowledge imparted is in direct line
ith the preordained subjection of
le colored man to the white, and raisi
no difficulties about such necessary
lenomena as hut taxes, forced labor
id judicial floggings. Once you have
lbued the native mind with these
indamental ideas of Imperialist
rotation, it were best if you stood
lite aside and let us manage things.
re can imagine the extreme official
ew as taking the form that the only
>od missionaries are dead missdonies.
In that state they are worth
ige indemnities and entire Chinese
roviuees. Alive, they are only in the
ay.
From the days of Las Casas it has
en the province of the Christian
inister amour subject peoples to
.rill against their unserunulo'i- e.vloitatiou
by fonM?_?n nia.-ters. The
de is difficult and unpopular, bu!
iseutial to the conception of the misonary's
office. Without it he would
defenceless against the charge
tat his advent has been only the
[ raiding of a "civilization'' that
[is come unasked upon the native,
nd come upon him for his enslaveent
and destruction. With it the
issionary vindicates his position as
10 who seeks to introduce the beneLs
of a higher civilization, while
itigating its evils. Missionaries may
- called busybodies or disguised polical
agents, or self-seeking, or antiatriotic.
As a matter of fact, we do
ot. believe that the American misonaries
in Natal fomented sedition
mong their converts, or that. E. D.
[orel draws a subsidy from the Brith
Oovernment, or that the Catholic
[ ethren in the Cameroons wanted to
ake themselves aboslute masters of
ie colony. On the other hand, what
le world has learned about Zulu taxion,
or the rule of King Rubber in
ie Congo, or the amiable practice of
erman officials in cuting off the
mbs of insubordinate servants and
'tag women to the trunks of trees
it.il death by starvation ensued, is of
stinct value. We owe it almost whol'
to missionaries.
