The Whole Truth Wan, ed.

The resolution authorizing an investi-
CATION OF he charges made against sew.
eI al State officials IN connection with the
release of the Marietta and North Georgia
Ra lrOad Company from the payment of
$4,000 in bonds due the State, and also OF
the legality OF the act releasing the road
fr' m the pay ment of these bonds, prom
ises to be one of the most interesting mat
'ers that will come before the Legislature
during its present session. Two Of the
officials against whom the charges Of
Mr.. Eager, the MANAGER OF the ROAD, are
directed are Judge Fain and Mr.. HarrelI.
The latter gentleman is a member OF the
lower branch OF the Legislature, aud both
he and Judge Faln have denied Mr..
Eager's charges. In late card, pub
li-hed in a Gainesville paper, Judge Faln
declares that"the many acts Of Mr.. Eager
will, when developed and made public,
show that he made his advent into Geor-
gia for sp lis and TO Cypress the tax
PAYERS and nothing else.
The charges being all in, and both sides
apparently being ready for the investiga-
uop, 1t cannot be begun too soon. The
people are very ANXIOUS to know why it
was that$90, 900 was gwen o the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad Company,
and whether or not any improper in
Il ences were used by the railroad com
pany to secure such handsome conces-
sion from the State.
1t is clear that MIR. farrell and judge
Fain are not the Kind OF men 10 rest quiet
~ under the charges when Mr.. Eager has
made against them. Mr.. Eager will be
expected TO substantiate bis charges, and
also TO show whether or not he was in
duced to use any methods to influence
tue legislature to pass the act releasing
mis- road from the payment of the bonds
in question.
Judge Fains' card seems to assert that
Mr.. Eager's aim from the start, in this
Marietta and North GEORGIA railroad
business, has been spoils, and that de-
sire to benefit the people OF the State by
opening up a new line OF railroad has not
al any me entered into his calculations.
In this view of the case the people are
naturally more anxious than ever to know
precisely what the argument was which
road d present OF 800, 600. 1t may be that
The road was really entitled to this
SUN. If so, there will be no difficulty in
showing it. but assuming that the whole
business was STRAIGHTFORWARD, honorable
and square, 1t seems strange that there
should be so many rumors aioat of a com.
promising character.
1t will be better from all points OF view
to have this Marietta and North Georgia
bond business thoroughly cleared up.
There IS an impression abroad that there
is something connected with II that has
been studiousiy kept in the back ground,
and the people will not be satisfied until
it mas been thoroughly silted. What is
wanted is the wuole truth. Let the inves-
tigation, therefore, be searching in order
that If either the State, or any Individual,
has suffered wrong the wrong may be
rishted.

rum Ghe Ne1o YORK I1toH ropes.
The arrival in this country Of Lord Dursley,
eldest son Of the Earl of Berkeley, recalls one
of the most romantic stories of the EpglIsh
peerage. Over hundred years ago Frederick
Augustus. the hfth earl of Berkeley, fell in
love aad married beautiful Miss Mary Cole.
The marriage was mesaliance. and the Ear,
showing how distasteful IL would be to his
proud mother, care ully concealed it for many
years, Indeed. so much did he dread its be-
ing discovered that the marriage lines were
either hidden so that they couid never he
'Ound again or else they were destroyed.

from his most intimate irieuds. One OF these
was the Prince Regent tafterw ards George

Two Earthomake Theories.

According TO the New York Times, two
notable theories have been promulgated
within the last few days or the cause or
tae earthquakes which have disturbed
this section OF the country. MIR. Henry
Clews, the Wall street banker, who is
quite well known IN connection with his
efforts TO secure the payment OF certain
bogus bonds of this Slate, is the author
Of one OF them, and the distinguished
weather prophet, Virgins, is the author
OF the other. Mr.. Clews' theory ia known
as the Kerosene theory and Mr.. Virgins
as he woodchuck theory. They are both
very ingenious and stamp their authors
as men OF mark.
Mr.. Clews holds that the amount of oil
that has been pumped from the earth DUR
ing the past thirty years is quite enough
to fill the basin of Lake Ontario, or to fur
nsh each man, woman and child in the
world 40, 442 gallons. In a rather graphic
way he points out that the oil, seeking
great oil reservoirs from widely distant
localities, has cut away the foundations
Of mountain ranges and the earth's sur
face generally, and that the supports Of
the earth's crust above the oil streams
being removed it drops down, thus produc-
ing the earthquakes.
Mr.. Wiggins' woodchuck theory, as
outlined in the New York Times, is as
follows: st is a well-Known fact to SCI
entidc observers that on a fair average
there are $500 woodchucks to every
square mile OF territory in the Middle and
Southern States. The great Charleston
shock affected violently all cities
lying within TWO hundred miles. Let
us take, therefore, a strip 400 by 200
miles. containing $4,000 square miles and
therefore 304,000,000 woodchucks. Ac-
c0rding to competent observers, each
healthy and able bodied woodcnuck makes
an excavation during the year equal to
SO cubic feet, which gives sum total
OF 90, 1906, 100000 CUBIC feet of subsoil re-
moved annually by these painsIaking but
malignant animals. Naturalists, backed
III by geology, assert that woodohucks
nave been natives of North America for
a period OF at least 10000 years, and as
Stunning that their mum bers have averaged
as now, we see at once they must in that
time have noneycOmbed the Charleston re-
gion to the tune oil 571 ,S24, 700, 000, 600 cubic
feet OF soil-producing an emptiness far
in excess OF that attributable to Mr..
Clews' Kerosene"
Scientific men doubtless wonder how
Messrs.Clews and Virgins reconcile their
theories with the following facts, viz:
that earthquakes were not unknown be-
fore the pun ping OF oil began, audthat
they have done considerable damage IN
countries where woodchucks are un-
known. Neither Mr.. Clews nor Mr..
Virgins, however, will consent to have
their theories disturbed by facts. Mr..
Clews appears 10 ignore facts In his al
tempts to secure The payment of bogus
bonds Issued under carpet bag rule in
this State, as com pletely as Nr. Virgins
does in his weather and earthquake pre-.
dictions.

A KemarkahIe Case.

One of the most remarkable cases that
ever got into the courts is that known as
the Moen-W iison case, which is now be-
ing tried in Boston. The plaintiff is an
illterate man known as "Dnc" Wilson.
The defendant Is a millionaire barbed
wire manufacturer, whose name is Moen.
The CLAIM OF the plaintiff is for $4,000.
and the basis of it is q promise which, it
is alleged, Moen made to Wilson TO give
him 500 600 with which to settle several
breach OF promise cases pending AGAINST
Wilson. The sum OF $4,000 was paid,
and then MIR. Moen refused to pay any
more. The balance, with interest and
costs OF tue breach of promise suits.
makes the amount for which suit is
brought.
The relations OF Wilson and Moeu have
for long time puzzled those acquainted
with them. "Doc' Wilson has boosted
which death alone could break, and which
was good for almost any amount of
money. 1t is certain that for years be
drew large sums from MIR. Moen. TIE
pending case WAS tried few months ago
and result ed 10 a mistrial, because neither
Wilson nor Moen would tell what the
mystery between them is.
In Opening the case for the defense the
other day Mr. Mems lawyer gave PAL
tial history OF the hold which Wilson has
upon Moep. he said that in 1915 Wilson
entered the service OF Moen as stable
boy. One day Wilson said to Moen: II
have witnessed criminal act, and | Will
rosecu'e the guilty party unless you
give me 800" Mr.. Moen weakly yielded
TO the blackmailer's demands. From hat
time the demands OF Wilson steadily in.
creased until he had obtained and sp Mt
$250,00o. and then Moen concluded he
would close his pocketbook 10 Wilson.
Now what evervb body wants to know is,
what was the Grim nal act which Wilson
witnessed, and who are the guilty par
ties? In mis- statement MIR. Moen's law
yer said that the guilty party was not
Mr.. Moen, but limited that a member of
Mr.. Moen's family was the subject OF all
the trouble. 1t is remarkable that the
mystery has been preserved so long. The
developments of the case are being
watched with the closest interest.

The Hawihorne-Lowell Iacident,

Mr.. Julian Hawthorne has not been
resting easily under the imputations put
upon him by Mr. James Russell Lowell
in denying the authenticity of the row
famous World interview. In the World
of Thursday Mr.. Hawthorne fills two
columns with an open letter to Mr.. Low
ell, which makes strong c. Sc for the de-
tense, II MIR. Hawthorne may be consid-
cred as pursuing vigorous ofeusive-de-
fensive policy. A copy of this long letter,
It seems, was sent to Mr.. Lowell tea DAYS
before it's publication, but that gentle
man seems not only to have closed the
doors OF his residence to Mr.. Hawthorne
personally, but to have cut him of from
the list OF his correspondents even in so
important and Interesting a matter as
that under consideration.
Mr.. Hawthorne premises by stating
that he had hoped for solution of the
conflicting statements creditable to both
parties. but he says "there has got to be
a solution. For this IS no trlfi ng matter.
and, if we can come to no agreement upon
it, the consequences must affect our fu-
ture lives" The writer has, on several
occasions, shown himself to be a man of
resolution, perhaps sometimes little
rash, though 1t must be presumed, from
the general tone Of his letter, that his in
tention is to demand the solution at the
bar Of public opinion and not resort to
any vulgar or muscular means of enforc-
ing il.
While the letter admits the issue OF We
racity. which MIR. Lowell thinks has been
settled by his first card on the subject,
Mr.. Hawthorne fortifes bis side of the
case so well, both circumstantiany and
logically, that Mr.. Lowell must presume
very much on the strength of his great
name to ignore the letter, even II be can
reconcile such action, or non-acuon,
TO his sentiments Of friendship for Mr..
Hawthorne's father.
MIR. Hawthorne says he gets q salary
from the World, and that the Lowell in.
terview did not acd to his fixed income
from that source; that he could not af-
ford TO hazard his reputation for even
thousands OF dollars, surprising the World
would pay a large sum for a bogus inter
view, and he goes on to state circum-
stances and quote kilograms to prove tba
MIR. Lowell had an attack OF lncompre-
hensiblr aud unusual dullness to blame
il be did not know he was being inter-
viewed for the W orld. Besides, Mr.. Haw-
thorne says without equivocation, aud
puts it in italics: II explicitly told you
what came for"
Mr.. Hawthorne rests the second and
now MINOR point as to the accuracy with
which Mr.. Lowell's views were presented,
on the statement that IL be misr. presented
anything be did so unintentlonally, but
be says that be wrote out the interview
fresh from his notes, and Mr.. Lowell can,
perhaps, be credited with those views
attributed 10 him which he has
not expressly disavowed. His plea
Of the general issue, with
Mr.. Hawthorne's reionder, deserves
further discussion, or the disinterested
public will be apt TO 80 far sustain Mr..
Hawthorne as to acqnit him Of anything
disbonorable from a personal or journal.
istic point OF view, and ascribe the issue
that has been raised 10 a misuuder-
standing.

The story Of a Connecticut deacon going
10 New York to sell a bag of mutilated
CONS that had been chucked into the con-
trIbution box has drawn out another story,
told by New Yorker concerning his eX-
perience IN Cherokee GeorGIa few years
ago. He said: Sin travelling from Dalton
to Elliiay lost my way and was enter
tanned by n farmer all night. In the
morning, on paying for my lodging, etc,
he brought out bowl tul OF punched aud
clipped coin and wished to know II
would purchase it. He said he was treas
urer Of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church and these co us were put in the
plate" Connecticut appears to be ahead,
however, as the custom OF putting
punched coins in the plate is said to be
rather general up there.
