Death OF Mrs Fred w. Auld.

lElberton (Ga.) Star, January g..
An occurrence this week which
brought sadness to many hearts was
the death of Mrs. Fred w. Aud
which took place at the Presbyterian
hospital in Atlanta, where she had
been carried for medical care. Mrs.
Auld's friends are familiar with the
terrible accident, which precipitated
her from the train on the Southern
road Christmas morning, just before
it reached Westminster, s. c., where
she was going to visit her mother.
Mrs. Auld was found lying beside
the track in an unconscious condi-
tion; everything was done that hu-
man skill could suggest for her re-
covery, but after nearly week of
terrible suspense and anxiety to those
who loved her, peacefully and quietly
she fell asleep, to awake with the re-
deemed, in the smile of the Fathers
face.
1t was sorrowing body of friends
who met the husband at the depot
in Elberton and went with him to
his bereaved home, and then on
Tuesday morning many hearts were
bowed down in grief as the house
filled with those who had come to
pay their last tribute of love and re-
spect to one who had 80 recently
been among them.
Very sweet and comforting was
the prayer by Rev. Brewer Board
man and equally so were the words
OF Rev. G. l. Stacy, as tenderly he
pointed out to the stricken family
the loving care of the Heavenly
Father. Mr.. Stacy spoke of the
beautiful mansion prepared by the
great Master Builder in the country
where the loved ones had gone and
in many other beautiful thoughts ex-
pressed the hope and JOY of Christ
ians in the Saviour, who has himself
led the way through the grave to the
glory beyond.
Many beautiful flowers were sent
as an expression of the love and
esteem in which Mrs. Auld was held,
also as token of sympathy to the
sorrowing husband. From the Off
GERS of the Presbyterian church came
an exquisite wreath, from the Ladies'
Aid Society handsome piece and
from George Sorosis, of which Mrs.
Aud was long member, lovely
bouquet. A great many other flow
ers were also sent by individuals and
after the concluding services at the
cemetery, the grave was covered
with the beautiful floral tributes.
This sad accident has removed
from Elberton one who had long
made this place her home, and who

Discovery OF Mammoth Gsvs.

In 1909, nearly century ago,
occurred the discovery of the Nam
moth Cave, of Kentucky. Its dis
closure probably resulted from the
quest for "petre dirt" as soil found
in limestone oaverns, containing lime
nitrate, was called.
Legend gives other versions of
the historical discovery of the worlds
greatest cavern, but fact is more
potent than folklore, says the Van
Norden Magazine, and to the search
for coves with suitable dirt for salt.
petre manufacture we probably owe
the discovery of this great wonder.
The feverish anxiety to find petre
dirt was the direct result of the en-
barge bill passed by Congress in
1907. That bill forbade American
vessels to leave for Europe, and for
eign vessels could not land cargoes
here.
We were getting on toward the
war of 1912 and needed gunpowder.
To make gunpowder we must have
saltpetre. We had been getting it
from Italy and Spain, but the en-
barge act stopped that. There was
no American supply of me substance.
A rowing chemist, DR.. Samuel
Brown, had, at Lexington, KY,
shown how by crude, but efficient,
processes salt-petre, or potassium
nitrate, could be obtained from scave
earth" Wood ashes, when lixivi-
ated and boiled with the leached
product of the fine silt of limestone
caverns, would furnish the precious
product on which depended a ma
tion's life. And 30 the quest for
caves was begun and it was assidu-
ously continued.
When Mammoth Gave was found
every part of the great cavern was
searched for cave earth. From pit,
dome, byways, from crystal. bedeoked
avenues slaves carried the heavy
loads of petre dirt to the teaching
watts. Many thousands of tons of
soil were thus treated and the rude
chemistry of the day produced some
thing like 100000 pounds of salt
petre within two years.
Heaps of leached soil, scores of
feet in length, score in height,
greet the visitors eye for the first
two miles of the great avenue which
the visitor enters. But these do not
tell the story. Many thousands of
tons of loose rocks were to be re-
moved and then replied, in order
that the real bottom of the cavern
might be reached And nearly all
of this was done with slave labor.
The compact piles of mud yet show
the hoof prints of patient oxen, as
well as hub marks on the used piles.

TWO OLD WOMEN
HELD FOR MURDERS
IN .PENNSyL YANIA
One Is Accused of Hav-
ing Killed Husband
With Hammer.

MILFORD, Pa, Aug. Pike county
is greatly excited over the two recent
murders within It's confines. Two men
killed by Two old women, both in their
seventies, is an unusual occurrence any
where, and Tor tins staid community
forms dual event of surprising inter
est.
In regard to the killing of John New
man, aged Sevcnty-nve years, by his
wife. aged seventy-four years, which
has created a decided sensation, the
county authorities are giving out only
meager reports. John Newman and his
aged spouse engaged in a quarrel at
their home in blooming Grove town
ship.
Newman, 1t is alleged, as a result Of
the alteration. became so much en-
ragged that he seized butcher knife and
attacked mis- wife. To defend herself
she grabbed a hammer, and struck her
husband i hard blow on the head
which feLed him.
Then, In fit Of frenzy or fear Of her
husbands wrath, should be revive and
renew the attack, the woman procured
a pitchfork and stabbed the prostraJe
man in the stomach until life was ex-
tinct. The body of the dead man was
carried out IN field and hid behind d
stone row, where IL was discovered by
mere accident. Two constables came to
Milford on Sunday and arrested Mrs.
Newman and her two sons, and a grand
son.
The funeral Of Harvey Cron, who was
murdered near Dingman's Ferry, took
place today. Squire Frazier. acting cor
oner. and his jury found that Cron was
killed by Benjamin COurtright. After
this verdict was reached, warrant was
sworn out charging Courtright and mis-
mother, Sarah COurtright, seventy-Gvc
years old, with murder.
The two were committed to the county
Jail at Milford for trial at court SFCrirf
ChOl and mis- assistants took the pris-
oners 10 Milford in an automobile. Tins
was Courtright and his mothers first
ride in an automobile. The aged woman
appears TO be Indifferent and rather ell
joys her jail quarters.

TOO MUCH GAUzE,
SAYS LADY GODNA

COVENTRY, England. Aug. Glad
chiefly in clouds of gauze. flowing hair,
and an alleged suit Of hesh-colored
tights. a modern Lady Godiva, riding
upon a white horse. today is the talk Of
the whole countryside.
The occasion was the revival OF tse
procession, last seen in 1883. in which
the famous benefactress of Coventry was
the chief object of interest When the
revival was planned many insisted that
Godiva must appear in her original
nudeness, IN strict adherence TO the ira
dition.
There was a great outcry from the
clergy. however, and, as a compromise,
an actress whose speciality IS living
pictures vas engaged. and clothed her
self in tights and gauze. Thus she rode
this afternoon. and was seen and ad-
mired by $1,000 people along the line Of
the parade.
4 could have made a dozen summer
frocks out OF all that gauze they made
me wear" was her sneering remark,
when reprOved by a minister.

And sympathy?"
'Au women know what that means.
It is what they require in husbands
isn't it?''
Another question was put to Mr.. Har-

Mr. Harrlman's clear eyes twinkled
merrily for an instant before he replied
Then he said:

a husband to support her has, perfect
right to take a mans place IN business
