But just about the LIST of January

by the owner and operator of the
enterprise, who runs a private mail
service not recognized or promoted by
the United States government. He
collects letters from Seattle to Cooks

the singular fact that not long ago a
man who had lost, both arms was SEN

forgery. The son of parents OF great
responsibility and some position, as a
boy, he was studious and promising,
with a marked tendency to a religious
life. At the close of his college training
he spent some years as a Dissenting

congregations and doing much good
work. In an evil moment he decided to

there is a third layer it must be the

The CURES do possess, however, one
tiny bit of chemically pure radium.
1t weighs about half a grain, and Is
said to be of the size of buckshot.
NJ. Curie has declared that he would
not sell it for one hundred thousand
francs. If he and his wife have d
monopoly of this precious substance,
they are not getting rich out of 1t.
The demand is not active. Half a
grain of impure radium in a little tube

of radium as big as a small diamond
would find that he had caught a Tar
tar. If he kept it in his pocket, It
would produce. an Inflammation that
might cost him his life. If he held it
near his eyes, he could easily lose his
sight. If he handled it much his FIN
gers would get sore and might have
to be amputated. Monsieur Curie is
quoted as saying that he would not
venture into room containing a kiio-
gram of pure radium; for, if he did,
he would probably lose his skin, his
eyesight and his life!

shines in the dark, although it is not
not ike a name. But, most wonderful
of all, it constantly projects into space
around it streams of invisible cor
puscles, smaller than atoms, with We
locity as great as a hundred thousand

1t is this marvellous and ceaseless
bombardment of it's surroundings that
makes radium SO dangerous to handle.

of course, be seen, but they affect pho

manner that the existence of these in

CHANGES ON AUGUSTUS
STREET RAILWAYS.
There Ia a Shift of Presidents and
Vice Presidents.

There Ia a Shift of Presidents and
Vice Presidents.
Augusta, April 1s.-At the meeting
of the directors of the Augusta Railway
and Electric Company to-day, Mr..
James u. Jackson resigned as presi-
dent and Mr.. r. Lancaster Williams
OF Richmond, who was vice president,
was elected president, and Hon. Boy
Kin Wright, general counsel of the
company, was named as vice presf-
dent.
The purpose OF this action was to
keep separate and distinct the organ
ization of the two companies. Some
months ago the owners of the Augusta
and Aiken Electric Railway Company
bought the August Electric Railway
and Mr.. Jackson has been holding the
office of president of both corporations
ana Mr.. Williams was vice president
of both.
AT the meeting of the directors of all
the companies to-day 1t was considered
wise to keep the Georgia Company ana
the Carolina Company separate and
with different officers. So Mr.. VIII
liaTns, who was vice president Of both
companies, resigned from the Carolina
Tor North Augusta) company, and be-
comes president of the Augusta Eiec-
trio Railway. James u. jackson re-
mains president of the North Augusta
Electric and Improvement Company,
which owns and operates the North
Augusta Land Company, the North Au-
gusta Hotel Company and the Augusta
and Aiken Railroad, and John Blair
MacAfee of Philadelphia was elected
vice president in place of R. Lancaster

South GeOrgians Ask That suits he
Held UD for a Time.

Atlanta, April 1S.--Hon. E. B. Jones
of Dougherty county was here to-day
for the purpose of urging Gov. Terrell
to have certain suits for land in South
Georgia held up until the Legislature
can meet and take some action with
regard to the land at issue.
In 1913 the Legislature set apart land
lots 10 and 100 in each district In GER
tain new counties in South Georgia
for educational purposes. These have
been squatted on, and recently an eff
fort has been made to recover them.
Gov. Terrell estimates that it is pos
sible to recover $4,000 to $35, 900 for
school purposes. He has placed the
matter in the hands of lawyers.
The Governor said to-day that it
would be impossible to bring the liti-
CATION to head in court before the
session of the Legislature. At that
time the Legislature will be urged to
take some action in the matter to the

the piles were driven they were allow
