Whatever decision the Hon. Joseph
NJ. Brown may come to as regards
the governorship the Augusta Herald
thus lays before him a duty that is
pre-eminent and unquestionable
Recent developments have placed
upon Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, eX.
railroad commissioner and possible
candidate of the railroads for gov
ernor, a duty which as man and a
Christian he cannot disregard with
out mourning the condemnation of
all pGsterity, not only of Georgia but
of the world. He must make public
the contents of that famous Cor in
famous as the case may be) letter
which he sent to the governor and
which that official returned to him
unopened.
THE world has enough of such
mysteries to worry it. Who struck
Billy Patterson, who wrote the
Junius letters, who was the man of
the iron mask, who was the author
of Shakespeare plays, and a list of
other unsolved mysteries have been
the cause of untold misery to the
world, and continue to be so. No
humanitarian, no man with a drop
of the milk of human kindness in
his breast, would add another to
these mysterious mysteries. Hence
it is the duty of Little Joe to make
public the contents of that letter, or
failing to do so go down in history
as an enemy of the peace of mankind,
a callous-hearted wretch worse than
the diabolical inventor of the torture
of Tantalus.
THE people are now almost dying
of curiosity to know what was in
that letter, and this curiosity will
grow, fed on it's unappeased hunger.
until it may produce the most la
mentable results, leading to an ag-
grayated form of dementia POLITICAL
ma and perpetual brainstorm, and to
another dark page in the history
of mans inhumanity to man. Little
Joe must tell. He is the only man
who knows. 1t is a secret locked
in his breast. And he cannot fail to
disclose it without standing forth as
the towering tantahzer of the pres
ent age.
Did that sealed envelope contain
an invitation to an entertainment
with pistols and coffee for two? Did
it contain an apology for having
tried to make the people believe they
owned the Central railroad when it
was really the property of Mr.. Harri-
man? Did it contain a dissertation
on locker clubs and suggestions as to
how to make the drouth endurable in
Georgia? Did it contain advice as
to the best service the Gal in the
Fountain might render henceforth?
Did it contain letter appointing the
governor a charter member in Little
Joe's Ananias club or to a place in

A real estate dealer in Columbus
has a matter in hand that is likely
to pan out something big. He has
received a letter from a man in New
York who requests him to secure OPP
lions on twelve thousand acres of
land near Columbus, on railroad,
which will be suitable for farming
purposes and for a great manufact-
uring plant.
According to the letter received
the New York man desires to bring
a colony of foreigners TO this sec
ton, and would like to settle them
as near together as possible. He de-
sires that they be situated so that
they may farm, and he also wants
a place suitable for a manufacturing
plant. 1t is presumed that his idea
is to establish q colony something
similar to the Commonwealth com
munity which was established sew
eral years ago a few miles east OF
Columbus, only upon a larger scale.
The letter stated that the writer
would be in Columbus soon with am
pie cash to close a deal for the land
and commence business shortly

Although Mrs. Margaret Dunn died
on Saturday the fact of her death
was not discovered until the follow
ing Tuesday. Mrs. Dunn lived in
Williamsburg, near Brooklyn, and
death came while she was seated in
a big chair gazing from the front
window of her house. Passersby, in
the interim, who saw Mrs. Dunn in
her accustomed place at the window
merely glanced up at the familiar
sight and thought nothing of her
Observation-Disclosures position there.
Finally curiosity was aroused,
through something strange in her

closed the fact of her death.

Rev William Carter, pastor of the

meetings in the Belasco theater there
Sunday. A chorus of $50 voices
aided him by singing hymns. He
said:
''Of the 1,557,0O0 Protestants in
this city less than a third, 100000,
are identified with the church.
Think of it, over a million souls deaf

foreign missions and more in getting
good Americans into the sanctuary.
l think the money would bring bet
ter results"
When he concluded he asked his
hearers, who crowded every part of
the theater, for money to carry on
the work thus inaugurated. He said
$1,000 was needed. When the offer
ings were counted there was $1,000
in the contribution boxes.

FLANIGAN'S BODY PEfRIFIED

Body of the Murderer of a Little Girl
Has Turned to Stone While
Waiting to BE Used.
A remarkable discovery has been
made in Atlanta by young student
in the Georgia College of Eclectic
Medicine and Surgery. Eight years
ago Edward Flanagan, moral de-
generate, killed an 11-year-old girl
with whom he was infatuated and
came near numbering the entire fam
ily. The crime was one of the most
shocking this city has ever known,
and is unparalleled in horror by the
voolfolk crime. Flanagan was
placed in jail and condemned to
death, but before the hangman could
do his work died of consumption.
His body was turned over to the
medical college for dissection pur-
poses, and for eight years has LAID
in the picking vat" where bodies
are kept until wanted. For some I'M
explained reason other bodies were
used right along and Flanagan
body lay undisturbed. One young
student was fishing around in the
vat of chemicals Saturday afternoon
and caught something that seemed
unusually heavy. He called others
TO his assistance, and the body OF
Flanagan was drawn out in a per.
feet state of petrification. 1t is one
of the most remarkable cases ever
recorded. and the medical men Of
the city are puzzled to understand
it. Scientists will be called in to eX
anime the body. 1t is said to be a.
hard as a stone, and cannot be dentet
any more than a rock.

Murdered by His Rival.

One of the most deplorable TRACE
dies in the history O. this parish oc-
Cured when F. F. Bouvey, a we'll
known young news merchant shot
and instantly killed Fred Van Ingen
OF Alexandria. The shooting occurred
on the Texas and Pacific train,
known as No. 81, in the upper por-
tion of Iberville parish. Jealousy is
said to have been the cause of the
tragedy. Bouvey had been for some
time in love with Miss Minnie Rhor-
er. daughter of James Rhorer, dep
uty clerk of court at Plaquemine.
Miss Rhorer left for Alexandria .ac-
companied by .hel uncle, DR.. Ned
Luckett, Friday. Bouvey followed
upon the same train. A few hours
after arriving at Alexandria, Miss
Rhorer was married to Fred Van
lngen. Mr.. and Mrs. Van Ingen left
Alexandria Immediately for New Or
leans, where Van Ingen had secured
a position. Bouvey returned with
them to the same train. When near
Rosedale, according to a statement of
Lee Alexander, an uncle CT the bride,
Mr.. Alexander was nodding in his
seat when he heard his niece scream.
and shot was fired just behind him.
He saw Bouvey with the pistol in his
hand, grappled with him and secured
the weapon, after a hard struggle.
The bride of few hours was taken
to the home of her father, and Bou-
vey locked in Jail. The prisoner will
make no statement, and the most
logical reason that can be assigned
for his act is that of jealousy.
