enough Of noxious substance had found
its way into FIexmore's body to have de-
cidedly accelerated his death. The news
spread like a plague; within twenty-four
hours every one had it, man, woman and
child. without distinction of rank or sta
ton. Every one went about open-mouth-
ed to find someone to give the news to. A
dozen persons said to me:
Have you heard the result of the ex-
animation? DR.. Audrey did hasten F'lex-

FIexmore had not been affected by the

left his body. This was the report made
nv the authorized doctors who made the
examina ton.
TTnon this report no one could be &C
cused of any crime legally, nor at the
nresent iuncture could a charge be insti-
tuted. That the poison had not been
Given in the form of potion, such as
Miss Dalrymple had been charged by Dr.
Avdrev TO administer, was clear from the
fact that it was found in the form of a

PURE ELECTION
BILL APPROVED
GOVERNOR SMITH SIGNS THE
THREE RECENTLY PASSED
BY LEGISLATURE.

Governor Smith has approved the
four pure election" bills passed up by
the legislature. All four have been
signed and are therefore a part of
Georgia's legal election machinery
now
These four new laws provide:
binding cath for prospective vot-
ers, making it practically impossible
for Illegal registration to stay on the
books through any election.
That no corporation shall contribute
money to campaign funds of candi-
dates.
That candidates shall file and pub
lish in newspapers an itemized state
ment of their expenses, showing the
source from which the money came.
That no primary election shall be
held more than 60 days in advance
of the regular October elections, and
that all primaries be held at the same
time.
These laws were advocated by Gov
ernor Smith during his campaigns and
they are generally regarded as admin
istration measures. They were among
the first bills to receive the governors
approval.

RUBY NINE FOUND
IN NORTH GEORGIA
REVENUE OFFICER MADE A RICH
DISCOVERY IN THE NOUN
TAIN WILDs.

ATLANTA, Aug 18.-In a remote
part of ncrth Georgia, never visited
save by revenue agents and moon.
sinners. John w Martin, assistant rev.
enue agent for this district, stumbled
across a ruby mine last week that
promises to prove of high value.
Mr.. Martin was searching for an ILL
cit distillery. In the early morning,
while sitting hidden in a clump of
bushes on a small mountain stream
awaiting developments, he spied a
small red stone sticking up from the
sand in the bed CT the stream II
proved to be blood-red ruby of about
two carats weight. Searching further,
he found three more stones.
On returning to Atlanta, Mr. Martin
carried the stones to the state assay
lists and was assured that they are of
the rarest quality. The largest stone
is as valuable as diamond of the
same size. 1t would bring in any mar
ket over 5000 The three smaller ones
are equally as perfect in quality.
Near the stream Ii is believed there
is a ruby mine quite as valuable as
many of the diamond mines of the
Transvaal 1t may be that the mine
is beneath the bed of the stream or it
may lie some distance above the point
where the four rubies were found by
Mr.. Martin.
The place where the discovery was
made is one of the widest sections of
Georgia. There is no habitation near,
and no one goes there but moonshin-
ers, searching for a covert for their
stills, and revenue officers.
II is high up among the mountains
All about are thick stunted trees and
chasms 1t is an unsettled, uninhabi-
ted land
Mr.. Martins discovery of the rubies
was one OF the queer strokes of for
tune that come now and then. The
revenue Office here had been informed
that there was an Illicit distillery near
where the rubiss were found, and it
was while searching for it that Mr..
Martin made his lucky discovery.
Having exhausted every other meas
ure, he determined to lie in wait for
his quarry Selecting thick clump
of bushes on the little stream he set
tied himself to watch He expected in
this fashion to discover his game.
Then as he waited. he saw tie little
red stone that proved to be Iuby
of the rarest quality.
1t is bloodred and almo3t round. 1t
would make a setting of rare beauty
and equal in value to a perfect dia-
mend.
For the time being Mr. Martin is
keeping the locality of the spot secret
where he found the rubies. After
more complete investigation he in
tends to begin efforts to develop his
mine.
