The Georgia and Alabama Industrial
Index says in issue of the past week:

more cotton factories and more inter-
urban electric railways and a typical
purchase by Ohio and Pennsylvania
capitalists of a large tract Of South
Alabama land upon which improve
ments to cost 100000 will be made
are interesting features of advance
reports to the Index this week.
"A 100000 cotton mill is projected
a Junction City, Ga. At Douglas
vile, Ca, company which is to build
a 100000 cotton mill, has effected
organization. will subscribe the en-
tire capital stock and by January l,
1908, expects to have a 10000 spindle
factory in operation.
Electric railways between Black
shear, Ca, and Waycross, Ga, and
between Eatonton, Ga, and Madison,
Ca, are projected. Organization will
be effected in a few days by the COM
pany which will build an electric rail-
way previously reported, between

"Besides the development Of wa
ter power and the supplying Of electric
energy for the manufacturing pur-
poses. no one factor promises mere
for the upbuilding of Georgia and
Alabama than the building of interur-
ban electric lines, by bringing great
resources into close touch with mar
kets will increase the rural popula-
tion so that one town and village with
its schools, churches and smaller IN
dustrial ENTERPRISES will hardly leave
off before another begins, eventually.

A MURDER OVER TELEPHONE.
Official OF Lowell, Mass, Heard
Screams, Pistol Sho: and
Falling BODY.

Lowell. Mass.-Hearing a murder,
over telephone was the surprising
experience of Bernard J. Gately, a
constable, who heard the screams and
the shot when Mrs. Mary A. Nc,
Bride, milliner, was fatally attacked
in her ofice.
In her millinery shop at No. 229
Dutton street, before her helpless
employees, Mrs Mcbride was shot
down by man, who rushed in, fired
a revolver at her and escaped. The
woman, at the st. John Hospital, re-/
gained consciousness long enough to-
say:-"John Kelley shot me.
The constable who had the re-
markable experience was some dis,
tance away at his Office in the Gem
trail Building.
He called the milliner by telephone
regarding legal matter. The voice
at the other end of the wire an:
swered: This is Mrs. Mcbride, and
I refer you to my attorney, Daniel j.
Donahue.
Then the constable heard scuf-l
fle and loud cries, My God, don't
shoot me! Don't shoot me"
Then he heard clearly over the tel
ephone revolver shot, followed by q,
woman's moaning, which grew faint
er, until all was still.
Gately was paralyzed for moment;
at the unusual sounds over the w1re,5
but gathering his senses, rushed TOT
the millinery store.
He found Mrs. Mcbride lying un-.
conscious with an ugly wound oyer
her right eye.
In one corner was Miss Vanasse,
the milliner's assistant, half fainting
from the experience and moaning
that Mrs. Mcbride had been killed.
The assistant explained that the
shooting was done by John kelley!
who was madly in love with the mar
ried woman.
Kelley was found near the scene:
of the shooting: and was arrested
charged with attempt to murder.

To sit in carriage in comfort
woman would be obliged to put the
feather Of her hat out Of one window,
the bunch of flowers out OF the otner

door in the roof. AS She cannot 90
this she sits crouched, with her shoui-;5

expression of patient resignation on

Double chins, bent backs and un.

their natural poise will be the result
if this ridiculous headgear is not
modified. A great majority OF the
men of the present day want the
women to keep them.

SPOKE TosNo MAN FOR 20 YEARS.
Oldest Maiden in Indiana Never For
gave Sex For Faithless Lover.

Lawrenceburg, Ind.-Miss Sarah
Ann Daniel, ninety-five years OF age
died a few days ago at her country
home two miles north of this city.
She is believed to have been the old
est maiden in Indiana. For nearly
seventy years she had lived in the
same neighborhood and had refused
absolutely to have any communlca-
tion whatever with men.
Tradition has it that Miss Daniel
was one of the most popular girls In
the county when she was sixteen and
that she engaged herself to a young
man who was teaching school in
distant part of the county. He Wis
tied her regularly, but at the close OF
school term he left the county with
out a word of explanation and Miss
Daniel never heard from him again.
She was never afterward seen IN
company, and when her father died,
and later her mother, she was SO
heavily yelled at the funeral that her
face could not be seen. She contin-
ued to occupy the old homestead, but
all business in connection with the
farm was transacted through nelgn-
bors of her own sex and it is said that
she never spoke to a man after her
lover disappeared.

Helen had two fellows on the string.
II was pretty hard to come 200
miles to find that out-especially
when, month before, I had bid
Helen good-by at the station in
town, and there was look in her
eyes-well, that seemed to lie for
me alone. 1t had given me COM
Portable feeling all along, and especi-
ally as Helen's letters seemed to ex-
hale certain atmosphere Of dis
consolateness-just as if she really
missed me.
We came into the inn from the
station on the blackboard. 1t was a
two-mile drive. The road was the
kind called corduroy-and we got
some heavy iolts. Still, I managed
to take Helen's hand, and she didn't
seem to mind. After all, at that mo-
ment it seemed quite worth while to
have come all that distance. There
was the first embarrassment that
always comes to lovers long sepa-
rated-but our eyes told volumes.
I was glad also that we were sur
rounded by forests. There would be
chances for me to have Helen all to
myself in such a wilderness.
: l had scarcely registered, however,
before, as I turned around, I over
heard buzz of conversation. The
two had come up. Helen introduced
them rapidly.
Mr.. Pollard, Mr.. Castleton, Mr..
Bertrand, Mr.. Castleton.
They nodded cheerfully. I could
feel myself growing uneasy.
Say, Miss Helen," said Mr.. Pol
lard, "can I have the first dance to-
night?"

Her answer made me desperate.
''I suppose so," said Helen. She
looked at me as if to get my sane
tion, or as if she had really done
something of which she expected me
to approve. At any rate, / didn't
approve I could feel myself grow
ing warm with rage. To think that

to find that the girl counted on was

said, and broke away and went up
stairs.
When l came back they were all
three sitting together. 1t was in
the front hall. Helen got up.

said. I want to show you the sur
roundings.'

Helen. Come Jack; take us all
You row so splendidly!
They piled in, and, there being nc
help for it; I went along.
Next day the affair progressed in
about the same fashion. We all went
on a tireso0ae picnic and I cooked the
dinner.
That night we were ali tired and
went TO bed early. But I woke "
at midnight, and, thinking 1t all over
and Helen's cruelty, I made up M!
mind to give the affair up. The
next morning I made my arrange

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 1S.-QSpe- cial.)-While the anti-saloon league has started a fight which the leaders say will be unto death of liquor deal ing in Arkansas, the liquor dealers have laid a foundation for a fight
 which they will wage unrelentless- ly, and by which they hope to defeat the efforts of the prohibitionists to make Arkansas a dry state. There has been in Little Rock for the past few days a man formerly connected with the railroad lobby of the legis- lature and now prominent in politics of a western county, who is also iden- tified with the liquor interests of that section of the state. He has been se- curing lists of voters of the different counties, and it is through this man the liquor interests will open their quiet, but forclble campaign for the of the present liquor laws.
