due to a cold but was merely an excuse
for withdrawing his majesty from public
functions owing to the discovery by Scot

principals in this plot have not yet been
arrested.
1t is cited in confirmation of this story
that King Edward S recovery when he was
ensconced "a Windsor was as complete
and speedy as his attacks had been sudden.
On the other hand. it must be pointed out
that If his majesty's illness was merely
diplomatic the officials certainly took a
great deal of trouble in keeping up the fc-
ton Sir Francis Lakng, physician in or
dinary to the King. was summoned by
telegraph to Aldershot; his prescriptions
were hurriedly filled and everything about
the King $ apartments indicated the genS
uine nature of his illness Furthermore.
King Edwards journey from Adershot to
Windsor in his motor car and his subse-
nuent drive to-day in Windsor Park don't
seem to indicate any fear of a violent at
tack upon his person.
At Scotland Yard tonight the utmost re-
ticenoe was maintained concerning these
rumors. 1t was noticeable. however, that

The Courier has long since ceased L
engage in the activities of political cam
paigning, but none the less notes current
events in such matters for the informa.
ton of its readers. Set down naugbt
IN malice but all in good will that there
is storm of dissatisfaction brewing as
to the early cali for a congressional
primary in this District. Whether
there is any partiality or purpose in
this early call or not, there are hundreds
OF democrats who would be better salts
fed with later primary and there are
some who suspect unfairness. This
element OF life long democrats com.
mand respect. and If their wishes are
not respected the dissatisfaction is
likely to grow ane' increase. 1t should
be remembered that there is i'm the
District large element who are not
thoroughly trustful as to party manage
ment, and it does not take all conyinc-
ing facts or arguments to contiue
and increase their dissatisfaction. To
denounce such voters as "bolters" and
traitors" does not secure their love or
insure their party re-alignment. A
later primary would answer their de-
mard. and violate no party principle.

FULTON GIRL DISAPPEARS.
HER BODY FOUND IN COLLEGE
POOL.
[Nashville American March sOI

Nashville American March 20
Miss Henrietta Ligon disappeared
from Belmont College last Thursday
morning between 10 and y o'clock.
Ths1nSly cause known for the disappear
anse was slight reprimand admins
tered 10y one of the teachers. Miss
Ligon was most diligent in her studies,
and enjoyed the love of the teachers be
cause of her splendid department.
Miss Ligon is very pretty girl, with
large blue eyes. She is ID years of age,
weighs l25 pounds and is feet inches
in height. She has curly, light brown
hair and slight impeachment of speech.
When last seen she wore a mixed gray
cloth suit and tucked white flannel
shirt waist
The girl is daughter of +. H. Ligon,
of Fulton, KY, who arrived in Nash
vile yesterday, accompanied by his
nephew. Herbert Carr. and every effort
has been made to locate her, but with
out success. MIR. LigOn is at the Tulane
and is anxious for his daughter to re-
turn TO the college, where the reprimand
administered was regarded very lightly,
and where she will be gladly welcomed
by Ter father and h teachers.
Any information as to her whereabouts
will be appreciated.
On tuesday the distressing discovery
was made that Miss Lyon had drowned
herself in pool on the College grounds.
Surperlatively sensitive by nature the
slight reprimand by the teacher had so
wounded and Inundated her as to drive
her to this sad, sad ending.
