very short. There va but ne grocery store in town. The owner rails

sustain life could be gotten elsewhere. The miners met, and after a
very brief discussion, resolved that provisions were only 81 a pound.
They appointed a committee. The committee waited upon the
'storekeeper, and told him that gro ceres we're only 81 a pound. He
failed to agree. They fired him out of possession, and took possession,
placing a committee in charge. The committee doled out the groceries
in the smallest quantities they pos shy could, and credited the store
keeper with a dollar a pound for the same. When the roads we're final

The twenty-foHrth annual session Of
the Georgia Weekly Press Asoscia-
ton was held in Americas Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week. The at
tendance fas large, there being pres
ent, it is said by the old timers, a
larger attendance than ever known
before.
No very important business was
transacted at the meeting, but the ed
itors went on record as favoring the
compulsory education bhl now pend
ing in the legislature.
The best feature, though, of the
convention was Americas. If the edi-
tors live thousand years longer, they
can hardly forget Americas. These
good people just laid themselves out
to give the pencil-pushers a good time
and they succeeded. Their homes were
opened to us, and they seemed never
to know when they had done enough
for our pleasure. They taxed to the
utmost our ability to see a good time,
for as soon as one kind of entertain
ment ended another begun.
Long live Americas and her good
people!

AMERlCUS FRUIT CROP

Gut Down.
(Rome Tribune-Herald.)

The peach crop in middle Georgia
IS the best they have had there in
years, said Wilson NJ. Hardy yester-
day on' his return from Americas,
where he responded to toast Tues
day night at the annual banquet of
the Georgia Weekly Press Association.
you will not find any orchards be-
ing cut down and turned into cotton
patches in that section, continued Nj.
Hardy. "The crop is now in the very
midst of marketing and the yield of
Georgia bellies and Elbertas is magni-
ficent. Those people down there re-
gard peaches as a paying proposition,
their chief objection to them being
that they usurp the labor that should
be given to the corn and cotton crops.
$1.25 per day is being freely offered
for women to help pack peaches and
men get $3.50 per day.
''Thlat section of the state makes
the same complaint as North Georgia
about too much rain They say it has
not missed but one day in two weeks,
and while their corn crop looks good
their cotton is small and unhealthy"

CarnC gle Institute recently purchased
Goose Island, in Long Island Sound
off this place, and the hunt is now
on.
1t seems that there is a monster sea
rodent whose exact position in the rat

Certainly it required several Of the
most learned professors in the land
corps of assistants and $50 new
tangled traps to appease the desire;

purchase of the deserted, but valuable
island by the institute.

Institute of Cold Spring, l.. l., DR.
Shatai, a Japanese professor, ard Or
J. NJ Stotsenburg, of Ridgaly Park
Pa, started the actual work las
week. After several sea rodents were
caught, the heads and brains were
taken to the institute and the bodies
cast back into the sea.
The next experiment of the insti
tute will be to destroy all signs o.
vegetation upon the island to dept
of ten inches below the surface. strons

BELLE { MORE DEAD:
HUSBAND SUSPECTED.
Case Resembles Charlton
Murder Affair.

London, Eng, July 15.-Beneath thu
cement flooring of the cellar of hej
home, No. 80, Hilldrop Crescent. Is.
lington. the police unearthed last night
the body of Mrs. Hawley Crippen. once
well known in America as Belle RI
more vaudeville artist
| For some months the residents or
Hilldrop Crescent had missed tLeji
neighbor. They had noticed that the
steps of the house were left dirty
that the grass was growing in the
garden path, that the blinds continued
to hang at the same angle and thai
there was never any sign of life abou
the place. They recollected also thai
they had not seen Crippen throughout
all the mysterious interval.
Then the friends of Mrs. Crfppen
who had not seen anything of her
for five months, began to make in
quiries both in Hilldrop Crescent and
at Albion House, New Oxford street
where Hawley Crippen carried on
some kind of an agency business. They
found at this latter place that Grip
pen had disappeared and that a girl
typist employed in his office was also
missing
The woman's friends then went 70
the police headquarters at Scotland
Yard.
Several days ago the detectives be-
gan their investigation. But they
carried on the work so secretly that
nothing was known of it until their
presence on the premises ives reveal
ed by a fiashlight photograph of the
unearthed body.
They had pulled the place almost to
pieces and probed the garden. 1t was
only as a final effort and to leave
nothing unturned that they decided to
take up the cement floor of the coal
cellar.
The body was so decomposed until
it was unrecognizable, but the police
authorities have no doubt it is that of
Mrs. Crippen. The house is now
guarded by Gordon of police, who
refuse to give any information
According to the Daily Mail, it was
given out late in February that Mrs.
Crippen had gone to the continent
on account of her health. In March
an announcement of her death ap-
peared in some theatrical papers. Sus-
picion was then aroused and inquiries
by the police at the town named in
the death notice showed that no such
person had died there.
The Mail states that Hawley Grip
pen was an American and a doctor
by profession.
There are in the crime all the de-
tails for an enthralling murder mys-
terry. Mrs. Crippen was a woman of
considerable beauty. She was be-
tween thirty and forty years of age
and had lived with her husband for
the past two years in the pleasant
Hilldrop Crescent villa, one of the
best in the district and standing in an
attractive garden.
During their life there the neigh
birs saw a good deal of Mrs. Grip
pen, but very little of her husband,
who, as a rule, reached home, if he
came home at all, very late at night.
Both were always we'll dressed and
bore every sign of being in affluent
circumstances. They also appeared
to live on good terms.

strictor. 1t lays eggs and feeds upon
birds, rodents and eggs. 1t swallows
an egg whole, and after the egg has
passed a few inches down the throat
where it forms lare swelling-the
serpent lifts its head, elevates its back
and exerts a downward pressure until
the shell breaks. Owing to a curious
