A dispatch t'tom Fitzgerald. Ga.,
I
t? the Augusta Chronicle, tells this j
^tory: Unhiding over with u case of
?omiln<> love, mellowed hv a twenty
tiv? years experience of hardship,
yearning disappointment and longing
. for a lost tirst love, Mr. uud Mrs. J. j
<i. T. Thomas walked into the of- j
lice of the .'sews yesterday afternoon
and asked that their checkered
career be published to the world.
\nd such a record! It Is truth,
every word of it, but there is no
fiction half so strange or romantic.
Twenty-five jears ago these two
were married. After two and a half
years of wedded life they lost each
other and for twenty-three yours,
four months ami one day they neither
saw or heard of each other, until
two weeks ago they met face to face,
lecourted and married agaiu on
Thursday night and today are the
happiest bride and groom man ever
looked upon.
"Fiction," do you say? If the
writer could compose such tlction he
would not bo grinding away on a
daily paper for bread!
With some embellishments of latt,*uage
and connection this is the
fctrvry as told by Mrs. Thomas hor"Twenty-five
years ago, Mr.
Thomas and I were married at Cedar
Keys. We lx?th were (Jeorgians, he j
having been reared in Clinch and 1 j
in Dooley county and our fnmllt.es i
had drifted down Into Florida, lie
wi*? twenty-one and I fifteen and our j
native similarities drew us together;
and we were married.
"For two and a half years we lived ;
together as happy as most couples j
do. but I was young and foolish, and, j
like many girl wives, 1 had a yearn- j
iing to try my husband's lovo and j
jhbow my power over him. Wo had t
%ome trifling misunderstanding, in j
which I was wholly to blame and one I
morning l ran away irom noiue. 1 ,
did not go far away and It wan my j
intention to write him after a month j
r two and make him como to me., |
or If he declined to come, I, of course, I
waa going back home to him. I waited
two months and wrote. Hut, lo! 1
e diil not come and my letter r?v I
turned to me unanswered. Then I 1
to hint ? or where I had left
Him, but he was not to be found. I
He had gone in search of mo and I 1
*^i?ew not where to look for hlin.
''I came back to Georgia, I search- j
<-d the country from Atlanta to IIh-I
Nana, but nowhere could I find anyone
who could give me any information
about him, and, after years of
search, I gav?. up hope. Later, a
Cuban named Frank Perry wanted
to marry me and I finally got a divorce
from rn\ lost husband and married
him.
"For fifteen years Perry and I lived
together and be treated mo well.
Wo lived some in Florida, some In
Cnba and some in Georgia. Five
yearn ago Mr. Ferry died at .Jacksonville
and I came back to Georgia
and started a cigar factory, the only
thing I knew how to do. For four
yearn I have b?en making cigars at
Wray, Georgia, not far from hero,
and two months ago I went to Sylvester
and started a factory thero.
"A little over two weks ago I
went on an excursion to Tampa to
purchase some tobacco for my factory.
I went to one of the big factories
there late one afternoon, Just
as the men were leaving and asked
the watchman where I could see tho
manager. He was an Italian, aud as
I had forgot how to speak the Italian
language I turned to a man I heard
peaking English to ask him to in
interpret for me 1 looked him full |
in the face athd my heart leaped into
my mouth.
"What is your name?" I
asked.
"Thomas," he said.
"G" orge Thomas?"
^ "George Thomas Is my name," said
he.
"Do you know me?" I saked.
I 44 \T/\ T rl A n A! "
I "Pointing to a scar on my roc';
caused from a rore in my party life,
I said: "I)o you know that soar?"
"Ilis face lighted up. and laving
his hand on a panel close by, ho
jjjtid, "Do you recognize that nand?"
"Two of his fingers wero partly cut
off when a boy, and with these tok"fcls
of recognition we stepped u?ido

The men at tho bottom of the

PASSED SENATE
The Corporation Tax Plan Adept
ed at Last
BY LARGE MAJORITY
Vote od file Troublesome Question
KeaclieU Unexpectedly on u Mr>tiou
to Substitute the Corporation
Tax Amendment for the Income
Tax Amendment.
The corporation tax amendment,
which wub nuggested by President
Taft, is au integral part of the tariff
bill as that bill now stands.
After much tribulation, the Senate
reached a vote shortly before adjourning
at 7 o'clock p. in. Friday,
and the amendment was agreed to,
60 to 11. Many Democrats voted
with most of the Republicans for
th?' amendment. Only three Democrats
voted against the provision on
th?> final tote, but some retrained
from voting at all.
The test rote was on the substitution
of the corporation tax amendment
for the income tax provision,
and on that vote forty-five Senators
oast their ballots in the ufllrinative
and thirty-one in tin* negntive. On
this ballot all the Democratic votes
worn cast in favor of tlu? income tax,
which also received the support of
a number of the insurgent Republicans.
There was a steady fire of oratory
front the beginning of the session at
!0 o'clock until 4:30 o'clock Friday
afternoon. When the tiro had
ceased Mr. Aldrieh took the floor
and made a t que.st for unanimous
agreement foi n vote on the corporation
tax anundniont Saturday at 1
o'clock. Previous to presenting this
request there had been much conferring
between Mr. Aldrieh and
Messrs. Flallcy, Cummins, Month and
other opponents of the amendment,
and it waa generally supposed that
they had reached an understanding
that the vot? should he taken Saturday
as suggested by Mr. Aldrieh.
When it seemed that such a compact
was probable, Senator Cummins entered
formal objection to the unanimous
agreement which not only had
the effort of preventing the fixing of
inn vui? , [jui oi lorcing it Friday.
Tho tlrst vote wart upon tho motion
to subBtitute tho corporation
amendment for the Lodge countervailing
duty amendment and thin
prevailed, 4 5 to 31. Tho nfflrinativo
vote was cast entirely by Republicans,
even Senator McEnery, of
Louisiana, who has voted with the
majority uldo for all protective meanurea,
throwing hly ballot with his
own party.
Immediately following Mr. Lodge
withdrew his amendment, and a vote
wa?s taken on a motion to substitute
tho corporation tax amendment for
tho income tax amendment offered
Jointly by Messrs. Huiley and Cummins.
Tho result wa.s an exact counterpart
of the vote on the previous roll
W. I 1 1
K,n i & . I
Next cnmo the vote upon tho corporation
tax provision upon its own
merits, but before this l>allot could i
bo reached Mr. Bacon sought to obtain
action upon two amendments
to that provision, prosnntod by him- j
self, both of which Mr. Aldrich moved
to lay upon tho tablo with suecess
f u 1 result.
The first provided for an excrnp- I
tion of educational, charitable and
religious institutions, against which
Mr. Aldrich made his first point of
order. Because he did he fell into
a sharp clash with lbs author. The
effect of the point of ordor was to
cut off debate, hut Mr. Aldrich chanced
to drop tho remark that he would
"allow" Mr. Bacon to proceed. Tho
form of tho expression seemed to incense
tho Georgia Senator, and he
retorted sharply to tho effect that
he was "not surprised that Mr. Aldrich
should assume such a manner,
because he had been dictating to the
Senate so long that he was accustomed
to nfw. lanffimo-n r?f "
-.-V - ? "O ??.?r,v> \/? ? nut n Ul\l.
V\ hen the amend mont was laid on
tho toblo by a vote of 42 to 32, the
Georgia Senator immediately proBented
miother amendment requiring
the taxation of bonds, which was rejected,
4 1 to 3 4.
Then, without any preliminaries,
the final vote was taken. It was upon
agreeing to tho corporation tax
amendment as a part of tho tariff
bill. This amendment was adopted,
60 to 11.
Of tho negative votes eight were
cost by Republicans and three bv j
Democrats, the Republicans being !
Ilorah, Hristow, Bulkoley, Clapp, j
CumminB, Dolliver, Hey burn and 1
Dafolletto, and tho Democrats, Chamberlln,
Hugos and Shlveley.

had finery of equal value at home.
Her father is a prosperous merchant

a student in High school when she
disappeared.
Her parents were distracted and
I had the police as well as private detectives
search for her. They obtained
no clew to her whereabouts
until three months ago, when she
was arrested on a charge of stealing
jewels worth $1,000 from the
home of a physician. It was brought
out at the hearing that the girl, after
leaving home, had found employment
as a maid in the physician's
home and that after taking the
jewels she hid them in a room.
On the plea of her father, Florence
was released. She promised to
remain at hotne, hut two weeks after
she was discharged her disappearance
was reported 'to the police. She
went to Philadelphia, where she
worked in a restaurant as waitress.
She admitted later that she stole
plates, although she had no use for
them. When she was susptected of
theft she left the restaurant and

The girl finally left Philadelphia
and returned to Heading. Although
she knew she would find a welcome

as maid in another physician's
house. Again she could not resist
the impulse to steal, and she took
jewels worth several hundred dollars.
She was arrested and Mayor Kick
sent her to the House of the Good
