WIN Open His Grave.

A special from New Brunswick,
N. j.. says: A meeting of the stock
holders of the Jamesburg bank, whose
cashier, Wilton Hill, has been declared
an elnbezzler for $4,000 by Examiner
Stone, broke up in the greatest dis
order upon the receipt of information
of the alleged embezzlement.
Several days ago the funeral of
Hill took place from his home in this
city, the cause assigned being the grip.
1t is now learned from a reliaJlc
source that Hill is not dead, and that
wax figure was placed iu the coffin,
which was believed to contain the
body. The rumor that Hill is still
alive, is intensified by the report tina
he has been seen within the past few
days on Fourteenth street, New York,
in company with woman whose
name has been closely connected With
the dcfaulter.
Hill's life was insured for 1920, 900,
and the agent of the insurance com
pany was preparing to pay this
amount, but will now investigate
Hills death. 1t has been decided to
open the grave and ascertain whether
1t contains HIPS body or a dummy.

Provoking Patrons.

Prominent cotton firms at Savannah
have been much dissatisfied OF late
owing to the inability to get financial
satisfaction from the Richmond d
Danville railroad for short CO tton.
Che house, Dwelle, Cam IL DA mel,
has entered suit and other firms say
they will follow the example at on, 70.
Their claims have been running TO 7
several months. This house has alsa
placed several smaller claims in AZ
Justices court and has been informed
that these suits will be paid by the
railroad if the firm will withdraw
them and pay the costs. This policy
seems to the house to be rather hard
o"e. The firm had been compelled to
enter the suits, and finally to waive
the costs of putting the cases in court.
1t is regarded here as great hardship
that suits must be begun to settle
claims long delayed and which have
been sent to Atlanta for settlement,
but appear to have been shelved. One,
house has large claim for cotton de-
stroyed "a year ago, upon which the'
insurance has been paid; but its ef--
forts to get the money from the rail-,
road are without avail. "The troubles
now" explained cotton factor this
morning, sis we are not met with any
accommodation. We go to the officers
and we are told that they are running
the road to make money. Many thous-
ands of dollars are now due factors at
Savannah "

Justice Bradley, of the United States
Supreme Court, died early Friday
morning. His death was not unex-
pecled, as the distinguished jurist has
been far from well during the past
few months, and an attack of la grippe
last spring left him much debilitated,
His trouble began again in November.
which coupled with his enfeebled
condition made great inroads into his
strength. Every effort was made by
his three attending physicians to re-
store his health and strength, but cold,
damp weather, together with his de-
Ginning years, which in great meas
ure retarded any progress toward re-
covery, proved too great strain upon
his system to overcome, and death re-
suited.

THE THIRD PARTY IN GEORGIA.

Peoples Party Paper, published at At
lanta, Ga, says that the peoples party
intend running full state ticket this
year. "We will elect our governor and
state house officials and elect members to
the Legislature in great majority of the
counties. OF course, i can only judge of
this by the reports that come into this
office. We requested the friends of the
cause to send us the names of voters
friendly to the third party movement.
and since October sc, 900 names have been
sent III. We will nominate National
ticket regardless of the action
Of the Alliance convention in St.
Louis in February That convention
may be dominated by politicians, just as
the selection of delegates to that conven-
ton from Georgia was accomplished.
The third party men will Withdraw and
hold convention, if that convention de-
cides not to support the Peoples party.
You see that convention will be composed
of Alliancemen and various labor organi-
cations, and is not called entirely as
third party convention. If they resolve
themselves into third party all right
and good, but if they do not that will
not interfere with the third rarity that is
now organizing.
The third party is a political party,
and will be composed of all parties who
believe in the doctrines set forth in the
Ocala platform whether he be an ALI
anceman, a doctor, lawyer, republican or
laborer. We are the peoples party and
will demand the relief that neither of tho
old parties have accorded us. We will
hold our conventions and anybody can
be member who is with u.s."
