MOORE FOUND DEAD IN
HIS BED IN A HOTEL
Mystery of His Death Has Not Been
Solved In VaIdOsta,

Valdosta, Ca, June 2.-H. B. Moore,
a we'll known sawmill man from Sparks,
was found dead in his bed this after
noon at the Prescott House in this
city. He came here last night and
registered at the Prescott House and
went to bed. He was in habit of
spending the night there and getting
his meals at a restaurant, and the
proprietor thought until this evening
he had gone. When his room was
forced open he was found dead.
One Of the servants called at his door
at IL o'clock this morning heard him
snoring, and thought that he was
sleeping so did not disturb him. A
coroner's Jury was summoned and held
an inquest, and returned a verdict Of
death from unknown causes.
Moore's brother, who has a sawmill
here, says that he usually carried a
pistol and money on him, but no
money or weapon was found in his
room. There is hardly any evidence
10 justify a theory OF suicide or foul
play, though further investigation is
10 be made.
Moore came 10 this section from
Hawklnsville a year or 30 ago. He
leaves three children al Micanopy, Fla,
HIS wife h9ylng died some time ago.

Charleston, S. c.. June 2.-The find
ing OF a large number of diamonds
in a field near Lucama, N. c., has
caused considerable stir thereabout.
An Atlantic Coast Line passenger con-
ductor who runs on the Short Cut"
past Lucama, says the value of the
diamonds found is more than 100000
When the southbound West Indian
mail ran into some box cars at Luz
CANA a carload of fertilizer was
wrecked. The mail was thrown on
top of the fertilizer car and was burn
ed. The next day the company sold
the fertilizer to a farmer near by,
and he hauled 1t out to his farm and
scattered 1t in his field. When il
was being distributed the hands pick
ed up several diamonds, which they
took to be pieces of glass.
The farmer Immediately began a
careful search of the field and soon
secured $4,000 worth of diamonds,
which has subsequently been increased
by $4,000 worth.
AS soon as the news spread, people
from all neighboring sections came and
Joined in the search, and the field was
so upturned that his entire crop had
to be replanted.
The conductor says he has seen sew
eral OF the diamonds and that they
are undoubtedly genuine. Nothing has
been heard from the actual owners of
the diamonds.

FILED SECOND LIEN
ON GERMANlA BANK.

Dixie Stone Company Claims Marble
Is Yet Unpaid For.
A second lien was filed on the new
Germania Bank building yesterday in
the Superior Court. This time the
Dixie Stone Company is the COM
plainant, and the amount of the lien
is fixed at $7,672 .O5, together with in
terest. The money is alleged to be due
on the marble and other stone finish
ings of the building.
This is the second lien to be filed
against the building. The first was
filed by the A Hanley Company, to Sc
cure payment for supplies alleged to
have been furnished to the contractor
for the building, Grant Wilkins of
Atlanta. The liens are the outgrowth
of trouble between Mr.. Wilkins and
the sub-contractors
Owing to several causes, Mr. Will
kins did not complete the building in
the time called for by the contract. As
a result he was charged demurrage
for the additional time, the total
amounting to something like $4,000.
This amount he insists should be pro-
rated among the contractor and sub
contractors. He firmly maintains this
position, and has refused to pay several
liens.

ARBITRATION TREATIES
FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT
Discussed at the Lake Mohonk Arbitration Con-
ference
ference.

Mohonk Lake. n. Y, June 1.-The
second days session of the arbitration
conference was opened with an address
by District Commissioner H. B. T. Mac
Farland of Washington on the sub
ject of an arbitration treaty with Great
Britain and also with other nations.
Prof John Bassett Moore of Column
bia University said he hoped that our
arbitration treaties with other coun-
tries would be more comprehensive
than the one recently concluded be-
tween France and Great Britain. Such
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain would be, in his judg-
ment, a step backward. He strongly
objected to an exception being made of
questions of national honor as not COM
ing within the scope of arbitration.
Clinton Rogers Woodruff of Phila-
delphia presented a paper on "Busi-
ness Men and International Arbitra-
tion," embodying the report of a spe-
cial committee appointed to bring the
question Of international arbitration
before the business organizations of the
country.
The interest of the business man in
the public movement may be accept
ed he said. as fairly accurate
gauge Of public sentiment. He reflects
the thoughts and aspirations Of that
mythical, although frequently referred

be more accurate. the mass Of men.

people irrespective Of their religion.

wit: the College Family.

It was The writer's good fortune,
in fulfilling business engage
mem, to be at the college a few
evenings ago at the supper hour,
and We accepted a kind invitation
to .break bread" with this large
college family. We use the term
college family" advisedly, for the
teachers aud the student body of
the S. G. C. 1. remind us more of
a large, harmonious, well-regula-
ted household than a boarding
school. The teachers and stu
dents are brought more closely and
sympatbetical!y in t,uch than in
oinety per cent of the other col
Ieges. On the occasion above re-
fefred to, the. girls entered the
large dining hall first and were
seated at the long row of tables Oh
the left of the room, chen the boys
marched in and were seated at the
row of tables Oh the right. After
finishing the meal the young men
were marched out fret, followed
by the girls. Thus it is seen that
while the girls and boys are in the
same building there is no social
intercouse-not word being pass
ed-only at stated times, such as
|"parlor night" T" There is not an
other college in the state that sup
plies the students with such great
abundance of wholesome food.
We were seated with the students
at table that was well supplied
with choice, we'll cooked steak,
hominy in great abundance, gravy,
Jersey butter, syrup, delightful
light bread, tea cakes, coffee and
fruit. Who could blame us should
we happen (?) to be at the college
again at the supper hour.

Things have come to pretty
pass in Edgefeld when young
men openly "shoot craps" gam;
ble) in the ball room in the pres
ence of ladies. That is what some
of them did at a recent dance IN
the opera house, SO we have been i
informed by eye-witnesses. Some
of the young ladies are being gem
orally commended for leaving the
hall as soon as the "crap shooting
was discovered. We know thatsft
is not popular to expose and con.
denim wickedness, especially "a,
high places, but we spurn popul--
larity if it must be had at such 9
plice, that of keeping silent at
this juncture. The editor OF, this
newspaper would do violence to
his conscierce did he not expose
and dvnouuce auch conduct on the
par; of men who call themselves
gentlemen. If men have no more
respect for themselves than to
gamble at such social functions
they should at least have more
respec. for the ladies in whose
presence they thus deport them
selves.

Dear Sir: The way to reckon
the cost of paint is to put both
coats together: the cost of putting
it on.
1t would save this country hun
drads of millions Of dollars a year ;
it would save you alone (if you
happen to be a victim) several
dollars a year.
See how it works. 1t costs al
much to put-on on paint as an
other, don't it F?
Yes, if you use the same mum.
Der of gallons.
Well, don't l :?
No, you'll use twice as many
gallons of adulterated paint as
OF Devoe; and you've got TO pay
twice as much for putting it on.
Mr.. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y, has
two houses alike and in SINE con-
ditiou. Painted one house with
Devoe: 6 gallons. Pslnted the
other house with paint that was
half adulteration; l2 gallone.

both jobs. One cost $37; the
other $54.
