That is about all there is to it. When Mrs. deliouchel begun to at tract the desire of Mr. Chandler, she was the wife of Adolphc Roquet, of New Orleans, ('handler wanted her arffl she wanted his money. Thoy trtme to an understanding. Mrs. deBouchel went to Ileno, Nevada, , to got a di vorce, The testimony shows among; other things that Chandler had her watched , while away lest she might have other lovers. In the sloppy Idvo correspondence between the two MrsT deBouchel wrote that Roquet was still hankering after her, and wanted to be bought off With $12,000. As to whether Chandler paid that price has not been made clear. It has not been made clear cither whethor Chandler financed the woman while she was at Keno. It has been made very clear, however, that neither Chandler nor Mrs. de Bouchel are worth while. Within 30 minutes after the case was given to the jury a verdict denying damages to Mrs. deBouchel of New Orleans, in her suit for $500,000 against Asa G. Candler, Sr.', ' of Atlanta, was re turned Tuesday* in the United States district court. Only one ballot was taken. - A- I HHon-physttrtatt reports that going over his affairs at the begin ning of the new year he found that all accounts due him had been paid in full. He states that people seem to have a full realisation of the fact that thy man who rises in the middle of a cold night to minister to their ? suffer ings deserves their financial support.. He says that toe has even known of casea where the purchase of simple necessities like new automobiles or new overstuffed - parlor furniture had been, postponed until the family doc ton had received remuneration for his services..- ? Dillon Herald. TIIK SPEEDERS. A movement is ort In sections of this country to send automobile speeders to jail instead of merely assessing a small fine or turning them loose. Jail is the only place for it speed maniac. Or perhaps a padded cell in an asylum would be more appropri ate. jjpr Some people cuss the motorists to n finish, until they acquire cars of their own. Then they switch to the other extreme. Once behind a wheel, they cease to be pedestrians. They are motorists. The streets and the roads are theirs. The world js theirs. Even the air would be theirs if they could fiy. They "step on it." They hit the pace. Then they hit a dog, or a cat. Soon they hit a child, or a man, or a wo man.- - ? v They ought to keep right on hitting until they smash into a stone wall and paint it rod with their own blood. Then, like the dead Indian, they would be good. ? Oaflfney Ledger. The Most Widely -Known Man in The World. The interesting thought is brought out by Dr. William T. Ellis, himself pretty well known all over the world, thjit "Wood row Wilson probably at tained a wider fame than any other mortal enjoyed." Wilson wok known in lands "even outside tin* current of civilised life," This is because of the peace principles Wilson originated and endeavored to establish. It was because of Wilson's magic appeal to the deepest sensibilities (?f all human lift*, which were given the wings of the morning by the unprecedented propaganda facilities of the Allies, to use Doctor Ellis' own words, that "the Wilson principles quickly spread to the uttermost parts of the earth." Doctor Kills continues: "Far-faring travelers can tell of the ignorant Be douins of the deserts instating upon judging Governments by the Wilson standards. New Turkey came into being on the platforms of the Wilson principles. These same iduuU have made Kgypt a Nation again. Villagers in the Balkans settle their petty dis- j putes by the formula 'President Wil- J son would not have it so.' Doctor Ellis further i-ecalls that in his travels in Russia, Japan and China he also saw repeated evidence of^ the influence of Wilson ideas, while in the Holy Land the natives still are invok ing the Wilson principles against tho European Powers. ?

A Warning From the Electric Chair. . The unf0ituw>^re?ture who in the penitentiary on Friday last paid with his life the law's penalty for murd , tdok advantage of the opportunity o ? fared to make a quiet protest against capital punishmont. Doubtless Je Chandler had never heard of John Turnbull, but thq poet, a hundred years before, knew what would be in the hiind of "the criminal: "No man" e'er felt the haltor draw, With good opinion of the law. The last statement of the condemn ?d man wax: "I would like lo??y? thing. J would like to soy tbat capi ital punishment ought to be done away with. '? I know it is not ugh . Then, in recalling the dark hours of the ^ght, in waiting for the un known, he added i 7 . t.? It i? ?0t hero -i.tting in chair ^,,Cnrmnjs the worst th^ng in would nbolinh capital punishment. Strange that tnis man on the br nk of the Great Beyond did not apply th logic of the law's judgment, and in stead of appealing to those with ^ e fear of the Lord in their hearts to abrogate capital punishment, to have wanted those with murder m their hearts against the awful terror o thqae waking and sleeping hours m the death house; to warn against mur der; to warn against giving rein to broking hatreds; to warn otters to discipline their minds and so discip l:no their hands. Chandler was not to hardened, criminal; not naturally a bad or Vicious man. Utter lack of self discipline together with no abhorrence of crime was his undoing. "The worst thing in the world, said Jeff Chandler, is the time "in the ocll beforehand# And that is what the law intended it.should be for the worst of crimes. His suffering appealed to the sufferer. That he had .slaughter ed two women, one of them the mother of Mb children, and that the law was taking his life not only that he should be punished fdr that dreadful deed, but that others should have as a warn in^ his terrible end, did not appeal to the criminal's reasoning. ^ He had no ?'good opinion of the law." The "plea of this doomed murderer for tTuTuLoTUion of capital punishment i\, unintentional as was his purpose, a 'powerful argument for the extreme permit v. The contemplation gf death in the chair was "the worst thing in the world." Had he understood its terrors and known its certainty he would have held his hand from mur de.. And that penalty is imposed to make men hold their hands from mur ,U?. There are many who might pTr.tit hy this man's experience. Co lumbia State. Krpurl ?f County Nurse's Work. (Month of January.)
