The Chandler- deBouchel breach of
promise suit h?? developed merely a
Mordid contest between the man's
money and the woman's physical
charms. 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. ? Charlotte Obser

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

# . J
C*K)ME thirty-five years ago, when Miller & Rhoads Store occupied1 -
but one small store-room, and served but a. very small part of the ?
community, it was easy for its youthful owners to look upon'it nsithfllr
own business, to do with it as they pleased. In those days there were
not more than a few hundred who might be called regular .c ustomers of
the store, and only a handful of clerks to wait on them. But timer
have changed. The handful of clerks has grown to hundr^ds^ :? and
the customers have grown tq .thousands* And we nunlb?^ nmonj

customers not only the people of ltichmond, But thoi^ancfco^ loyal
friends throughout the Virginias and Carolina*. '? <{y{') v it -*V
To-day the business of Miller k Rhoadt has grown to nueh proper- ?
tions that it seems more like a great public service than ~
business. Like h great railroad system, a street railwajrtfr attelcofctlc
light plant, it ?ervei the ? public. ? ? ? tt-v ; ? ?

We are dependent upon th^ good-will and confidence OlM* jlhoVK

and faithful service to their wants. It seems to ua.no* v
duty to maintain a plentiful stock of merchandise at a wide

We have recognized our obligation, too, of making it just, as, .easy
and convenient for our customers to shop as possible. r,,'WeHikVcj Tbuitt
