The extent of the injury done among the poor
by the policy swindlers is wider and more per-
nicious than is generally suspected. Policy is
not gambling It is stealing, and 1t deserves
no more tolerance than the picking of pockets
and the crimes of sneak thieves and burglars.

punish one of the Albritton woman's
children for some viola ton of the rules

school teacher, breaking a slate over
her head, then throwing her down and
bruising her UP considerably. In the
scuffie she succeeded in snatching sew
eral Wisps of hair from Miss Heard's
head. The young lady tainted, but
the infuriated woman continued to
abuse her until pulled away by the
principal of the school, who probably
arrived just in time to save her life,
as her assailant said she had come
there to kill her and intended to ac-
complish her purpose.
The Albritton woman was arrested
but the trial was deferred until some
time this week. Miss Heard was re-
moved to her home. where she was

NEGRO FOUND MURDERED.
His Name Unknown and Manner of
Death a Mystery.

Waycross. Ga, Aug. 2O.-Coroner
jackson Grimes returned this morning
from Wildwood where he held an in
quest yesterday over the body of an
unknown negro. The body was found
Monday in the edge of a thicket near
Wildwood. A big hole in the back of
his head, inflicted by bullet, caused
his death.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
to the effect that the negro, name un-
known, came to his death from gun
shot wounds inflicted by unknown par
ties. There was evidence before the
jury indicating that the shooting was
done Saturday night. as parties testi-
fed to hearing the report of gun near
midnight on that night.
No one around Wildwood remembers
seeing the negro when he was alive,
and there is much mystery about the
case. The officers are of the opinion
the negro was a gambler, as his hands
indicate he had never done any hard
work.

A Rosebush One Thousand Years
Old,

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
In the town of Hildersheim, in Ger
many, is rose bush said to be 1000
years old, and sprouts from it's
branches have realized fabulous sums.
Some years ago a rich Englishman
offered $4,000 for the entire tree, but
the sum was indignantly refused. This
wonderful plant clings amid thickly
grown moss against the side Of the
famous old Church of St Michael. It
Is claimed that it has hloomed peren-
nially since the days of King Alfred,
and this statement has never been dis
puted. for its record has been as care
fully kept as the pedigree of the biuest
blooded family in the kingdom. 1t Is
supposed to have been discovered
through the medium Of King Louis of
Hildershelm as far back as 1922
