Detectives Cox and Berman were sent
to the Griswold home. They examined
the body and room in which the deed had
been committed and also heard what Mel

about for her husband. He was not on

interesting. From Gibraltar we steamed on through the Mediterranean to Genoa. In this city we were shown the house in which Columbus was born and his statue in the public square. The statuary in one of the cemeteries there is considered one of the sights in Italy. Their skill in this work is marvellous. Our next stop was at Naples. The far-famed reputed beauty of Naples bay proved a disap- pointment to us all. The sky was dull and overcast with clouds and the weather damp and chilly. Vesuvius even with it's head wrapped in clouds looked to be out of business As we are to stop there several days on our return I feel sure we will enjoy the beautiful scenery I know must be in and around that noted city The next day after leaving Ma pies we passed Stromboli, an active vol aanic mountain just a short distance north of Messna and Reggie. This noun tain is very small at its base and rises precipitously out of the water to height of several thousand feet. There was not a spot on the island level enough for a town except one little cove, seemingly under the smoke of the volcano, which appeared more active than any We saw. Here nestling in fancied security was a beautiful town, full of nice houses and a people who appeared to take no note of the impending, danger that always hangs over their heads A few miles further we reached the cities whose tale of woe has startled the world-Messina and Reggie We did not go ashore but had a good view of both cities. We saw many houses in rulns but it was almost the unanimous opinion that there were more standing than down. In Reggie on the Italian shore we saw a passenger train going out of the station as usual. We could not help believing the damage, while very great, has been exaggerated. Mt Aetna, the volcano, Aes back of the city a few miles and great volumes of smoke could be seen issuing from it's crater We were surprised to see the tops of the highest mountains in Sicily covered with snow. This comes from the fact of their great elevation.
 We are now in the land of the Egyp- tians and in that most remarkable of all cities, Cairo. To describe the moving panorama of the streets of Cairo is a task beyond the capacity of the writer. Glistening carriages drawn by sleek. well fed horses carrying occupants with cos tunes fresh from Paris push aside the Arab with his long flowing robes astride his docile donkey. The automobile with it's hoarse honk quivers with impatience at the slow and patient camel as with ungainly steps he bears the burdens heaped upon him. The Egyptian repre- senting the oldest known civilization on earth. here meets and mingles with the boasted civilization of the twentieth cen tury In no other place in the world do such extremes come together.
 Cairo is full of interest. cannot att tempt a description of II in the letter. We go up the l-ile next week for a 20- day trip and on my return l Will write you again. w. B. REN NOLDS.

former will secure extensive markets for their fruits which they have not hereto fore possessed while to the latter Will he conceded without further protest the right to accept peaches for shipment at 40 hounds to the crate, instead Of 3o To hounds. which has heretofore been the rule in this state.
 There are numerous small towns Tn neiehboring states which get no Georgla peaehes at all for the reason that ship nins them in carload lots at one shipment would glut the market, and there are no rates which justify shipments In small quantities. The express company, 1t Is expected, will put in series of interstate rates on small shipments which will en- able the Georgia peach growers to dls- tribute, in the aggregate, a consideraple proportion of their product in these towns in a way to net them good prices. rms will prove of decided advantage to sae Georgia fruit growers who are anxious to extend their markets.
 As 10 the weight of crate of peaches, if is stated that 70 pounds is the standard in all other states except Georgia. The express company sought to make the change last season after peach shipping had begun. but the railroad commission refused to permit it at that time because. many of growers had made contracts based upon the lower weight The com mission promised to take the matter up for consideration before the new fruit sea- son began It is now expected that compromise along the lines indicated will soon be reached.

The great mountain of rock rises full 15o0 feet from the water and brstles with English guns It overlooks the narrow neck of water connecting the Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean sea. No ship can pass from one body of water to the other in time of war without the consent of those who com mand that impregnable fortress.

THE LAZY CLUB.
Plan of English Workmen to Discour-

From System.

From System.
 One of the best assets T a manufactur- ing plant is the interest of employees, and when this develops into friendly rivalry its value is many times increased. Ere quently workmen will adopt methods spontaneously that are of great assist aace to the firm.
 In the engineering shop, of a certain English firm the workmen year or two ago organized what they called the Lazy Club. It was entirely their own idea, which for obvious reasons has received neither recognition or financial support from the management, but has been a most excellent means of reducing the number of late corners.
 Whenever workman is more than five minutes after time Ale finds the gate locked and he is not allowed to enter un- deducted from his wages, but in addition he has also to pay to the treasurer of the Lazy Club about cents for coming late
 If he is late more than once or so dur ing the week everybody is aware of the fact, and the second or third time he makes his appearance after starting time he is greeted with a terrific combination of noises produced on any available ma- terial by his fellow -workmen.
 At certain periods the accumulated funds of the Lazy Club are divided, not among those who have produced them, it should be noted. but among the entire staff equally. Thus the late workman is made to pay the early corners for his lazi- ness. The last distribution was just prior
