(Sweetheart days wrote a romantic
^nal chapter to the life of John K.
Hughes, who died a few days ago at
Marietta, Okla., alter leaving all his
property to Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson, ot
Kewnan, Ga., widow of the late W.
X. AtKinSOn, WHO wtut w?m uui vi
Ceorgia a few years ago.
Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Atkinson,
The was formerly ntiss Susie Milton,
icujil wandered far aoart siuco their
f.rst romance; both had married other
sweethearts they mot afterward.
Mr. Hughes' wife had died some time
fetter Mrs. Atkinson's husband had
passed away?but the last will and
WBtament of Mr. Hashes loft bis eo.ate
to the first sweetheart ho had
*ver loved. Mrs. Atkinson i3 postmaster
at Newnan.
A telegram was received in Nowitan
on Thursday of last week bringing
intelligence of the sudden death
at Marietta, Okla., of John F.
hughes, which occurred tn that city
f.ya the night previous. This announcement
would have been of iit'ie
concern to Newman people under
trdinary circumstances, as Hughes
?ras only slightly known there; but
1*8 death brought revelations of a
.<*>THonal and romantic nature which
kave invested the event with an in*?rest
almost tragical.
Nearly forty years ago John
Hughes and Susie Milton wore'
tjehoolmates and playfellows nt Marianna,
Fla., where both resided. They
{became sweethearts, he being thon
about fifteen, and she two or throe
years younger. It was their first ev- 1
>#erlence in lore, and they were ardently
attached to each other. When
seventeen or eighteen, young Hughes
went off to college. Shortly thereuter
Susie Milton was sent to Lucy
Cobb Institute, at Athens, to finish
bor education, and the sweethearts
of earlier days drifted apart.
Before drifting apart, which was
caused by interference on the part of
the parents of Susie Milton, the
young couple had been very fend of
*>?fh r?t >i?r
In her senior year, while pursuing
ner studies In the proscribed course1
for young ladles at Lucy Cobb, Miss J
MJlton mot at a college reception;
Vllllam Y. Atkinson, of Newnan, i
hen a student tn the law department
of the State university. Later
'hoy were marrbvd. The union proved
an ideally happy one. Children 1
come to brighten rheir homo, and
high honors were conferred upon tho
ambitious young husband by bis fellow-citizens,
culminating In his elooIon
to tLo governorship.
His lamentable death shortly af'ar
leaving the eo vomer's office. the
?ravery and heroism with which his'
widow assumed tho care and rcspon-|
ribility of rearing and educating'
their children, her splendid success
both in business life and as postmaster
at Nownan, are matters of
local history.
Meanwhile John Hughes, lit ft
eujalo Milton'a sweetheart of earlier
lays, married and went out west. He!
was s good business man, and prospered.
About a year ago Ms wife'
'tied, leaving no children. Tn his lonokineps
bis thoughts turned to tho
mveethoart of his boyhood days, and
determined to see her again.
Inclination lont speed to his
thoughts, with the result that tho :

Wewr.an. Ho spout several days la the
city, and during his stay was a frequent
viBitor at tho Atkinson homo?
their t]rr.t mooting in nearly thirty
rears. Karly in January ho returned
to his home at Marietta, Okla.
On tho night of January 22 ho was
luddonly stricken by death.
Slnoe then It has l>een learned that
left a will bequeathing all of his
property to Mrs. Atkinson, the playmate
and sweetheart of his boyhood
lays. Tho will has been forwarded
to Mrs. Atkinson, duly and properly
executed, the property conveyed by
the. testament consisting of money
*nd loan notes amounting to several
thousand dollars, besides valuable
T^al estate In Oklahoma and Texas.
M rs. Atkinson left Wednesday ovenfag
for Marietta, Okla., and next
week will offer tho will for probate
fn that state.
Tho above Id a trae romance, if it
&vca read like fiction. Puch things
often happen, hot the world never
beers of it. Many a man and many
a woman carry stamped on their
hearts the Image of their flrnt swootbearts.
They marry some other later
sweetheart, but the imago of the

the old daya come bnck to bring a

VALUE OF PARCEL POST.
People Have Already Benefited to the
Extent of $CU>0,(KM).
Tho parcel post turn saved the peor?
1 .'i r\9 fhn f'nifnfl in thtt fl rnt
fifteen days of ita existence more
than $500,000, according to Senator
Jonathan Bourne, author of the law.
Ho announced at Washington that
reports from forty-five leading cities
G? the country, which produce almost
half of the postal revenues, snowed
that daring the 12 working days
fc etwee n January 1 and IB, a total
of 5,094,027 cut-going parcels were
dispatched at a cost of 5395,286, or
about 7.7 cents a parcel.
"L'ader the postage rates previously
in force, one cent an ouce," said
the senator, "tho postage would have
been an average of 18 1-2 cents per
parcel, or a total of $942,394.99, (
thus showing a saving to shippers of
$547,503.12 on twelve days' business.
It should also be remembered that
the usual minimum charge of express
companies is 2 5 cents per parcel,
whereas the average charge on the
parcel post, packages was only 7.7
cents." *

ANNOYS HKNATOK TILLMAN.
\V?nt? Smoking in the Soaate CUanitmr
Prohibited.
If Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
can have his way there will be
no smoking in the executive Aesslons
of the senate. Ho in very sensitive
to the odor of tobacco, and made an
effort during the executive session
Tuesday to have smoking prohibited,
but, as the question is not covered
by the rules, ho failed. He then
gave notice that ho would soon Introdue
a resolution prohibiting smoking
fill the senate chamber at nil
times. Confirming the report as to
hte intention, Mr. Tillman said:
"There is no more reason why senators
should be allowed to smoke In
executive session than in open sessions.
Many men object to tobacco
smoke, and just because they are
members of the senate they should
not be compelled to sit where they
muPt submit to It."

About Kigliteeu Year** Ago.
i
Frank Worden, of Colfax, Iowa,
will give $l,Uuo to any surgeon in
the United Stales who will break "
tiis back with anything short of a 1
sledge hammer. Worden spent last
week in Omaha. Neb., and was seen _
oy a number ot physicians, but when \
ue loft the city lie curried his tiiou?<iid
(.ioiiui a witn iiiiii.
Wordeu ia an oss.iiiud uiau?u?i)iily
real one in the country. He i
dso a farmer and lives near Colfax
Iowa. With the exception of tin
eyes, his tongue and his arms from
the elbow dowu, ho is one huge pieci
jf bone, without a joint or a hinge o. _
my kind. His body is as haru a: ,
stone and as rigid as a piece ot stee?
Except as noted, he can not move a
single muscle of his entire body. A
day aud all night lie lies straight an
stiff, motionless. He can not laugh,
ho can not even smile.
Eighteen years ago Worden awoke
with a stiff neck. There was m
pain, but lio could not move his head as
freely as had been his custom. Hi' |
paid no attention to it at first. Hut
the affliction grew worse and he finally
consulted the family physicist*.
"Just a littie stiffness," said the
doctor, "That'll soon wear off." Bu
the stiffnes3 did not pass away. Wor- \
den went back to the doctor. And
this time the doctor found something
ttat puzzled him. While making his
examination he discovered that Worden
had lost practically all feeling _
in tho neck. And theu ho called in 1
another doctor.
The second physician was also puz-1

into a big bone," said the uew
doctor. And soon they discovered that,
in fact. Worden was actually j.
turning to bone. His flesh tissues
were hardening. Other physicians
3hd surgeons were called in, but they
were never able to stop the ravages
of the peculiar malady.
When Worden felt his Jaws be- i
coming set, he placed small wedges
of wood between his teeth, and in fc
that position the lower portion of his
face became rigid. In time the
wedges were removed and the teeth were
left about half an inch apart. ^
Through this aperture ho Is fed liquid
foods. He cannot masticate,
but he can swallow liquids of any
kind that are put into his mouth.
Gradually the hardening went
downward, affecting his body, his
limbs and then his feet. Right years
after the morning when he discovered
his stiff neck Worden's feet and
ankles were aa rigid as those of a
stone image. Years before that thnf
his legs had succumbed to the
strange disease and it was impossible ~
to use h!3 hip joints a3 it would Infer
a wooden Indian to walk.

WILL HAYR INCOME TAX.
All Incomes Over Five Thousand Hollars
to he Taxed.
An income tax ia now one of the
provisions of the constitution of the
Cnited States. Wyoming's ratiflea
tion Monday of the income tax
amendment?the sixteenth change in _
tho conatitution and tlio first since |.
reconstruction?-completed a list of
thirty-six states?three-fourtha of
the union?which have approved the
provision.
Congress will now enact a law to
levy the lax, and it probably will become
effective during the extraordi- s
nary sessions to be called by President-elect
Wilson in March. The tax
itself, its provisions and Its limitations
are all left to congress.
The new law will supersede the
corporation tax and provide for a tax
on all incomes above $!i,000, al- V
though there has been some sentiment
in favor of making the limit as
low us ?l,0h0, Congressional leaders
who have been preparing for the
final ratification by the states estimate
an income tax would bring in
about $100,000,000 a year to the <
government.
THE GHOSTS AUK BUSY.

Rapping?! and gentle tappings, that I
fit from wlndowpanes to tho doors
and then come from the floors and

Pa., and have driven the tenants of
a big apartment house into a panto
of fear.
So alarmed have the tenants hecome
that four policemen have boon
detailed to look into the matter. A
po'icoman was stationed at eac.n
apart\iont. They admit hearing iio
rappings at all hours of tho day an-1
night, hut havo boen unable to solve
the mystery.
One policeman, who was sltttng Just
inside tho door, was startled by <
the loud clicking on the glass panel
I within a few Inches of his head.
Throwing open the door quickly, he
found tho lighted hnl! way empty. A
medium was sent for, who tried for
an entire day and night to read the
rappings. but was unable to make .
any headway. ]

DEATH COMES IN PANIC
v'WOMEN ARB ' TRAMPLED TO
DEATH IN A MAD RUSH.

Ory of Fire Starts Stampede, ud
Smoke From Exploded Moving Picture
Film, Added to Terror.
A boy's cry of "fire" and the
smoke from an exploded reel of a
motion picture machine in an East
Side New York theatre Sundaflfnight
resulted in a panic among the audience
of 400 persons and a rush for
me exiio, 111 waicu iwu women wert
killed and eleven other persons a?
badly Injured that they had to b?
sent to hospitals.
The panic occurred in one of ths
most densely populated sections of
Lko East Side and the thousands
who poured into East Houston street,
;n front of the theatre, and rushed
to the doorB added to the confusion
and to the number of injured.
The two women, who have not
been identified, were trampled to
death in the crush of the crowd to
reach the doors. The operator of
the machine soon extinguished the
burning film and tbc flumes did not
spread beyond the fireproof cage in
which he worked.
With the exception of one rear
exit door, the only means of escape
from the theatre was through the
main vestibule, and it was here in a
narrow space that most of tlie injured
were found. The two women
who were killed were picked up in
the main section of the theatre,
where they had been trampled.
Stoop steps lead from the sidewalk
to the theatre entrance, an.1
down these hundreds fell, while
those behind piled on top. Children
became separated from their parents,
and frantic searchers for f'lends or
rei*?t'vi's minded with the panicstricken
audience. It was more than
an hour before the police were able
to say definitely that only two had
met death.
In the panic clothes were torn
from the wearers and the nolicj
gathered up a great pile of hat*,
coats, shoes, eye-glasses and even
pockethooks. A few rings and
watches were nm^pf the
en to a police station for identification.
