RAISING ARTIFICIAL PEARLS.
Is Now Being Attempted by Herrick
of New York CITY,

At the biological station at Fair
port is being conducted a series of
experiments which, if successful, will
greatly reduce the value of fresh
water pearls, says Muscatine, Iowa,
dispatch to the New York Herald.
Artificial production of the gems is
now being attempted by DR.. w. P.
Herrick of New York city.
DR., Herrick has made an exhaust
i've study of the growth of pearls
and has several theories which he
thinks prove that the mussel may be
so treated that the growth of pearls
may be controlled by the science.
The Japanese, DR.. Herrick states
say they have solved the problem.
He is lOath to believe that they have
been successful.
The pearl, he states, is a growth
which results from the presence of a
foreign substance in the musseI, and
he believes that the introduction of a
foreign article can be so controlled
that the growth will be facilitated.
The dense shelly concretion is COM
posed of nacre deposited in thin con-
centric layers about some foreign ar
ticle such as the dead body of eggs
of a parasitic worm, and may be
within or beneath the mantle or at
tached or unattached to the shell.

BUY GEORGIA LANDS FIRST
Forest Commission Will Purchase a
Tract of 81, 900 Acres in Fannin,
Union and Lumpkin Counties.

WASHINGTON.-As it's first act in
protecting the navigability of streams
the National Forest Reservation Com
mission has authorized the purchase
of $1,000 acres of land in northwest
ern Georgia. The tract lies in Fan
min, Union, Lumpkin and Gilmer
counties, and is on the watershed of
the Toccoa river, tributary of the
Tennessee river. The land is in the
heart of the Southern Appalachian
mountains. The commission is con-
sidering the purchase of many other
tracts in both the northern and
southern Appalachians.
Mineral lands in the Appalachian
forest reserve must be purchased out
right by the government in the opin-
ion of Attorney General Wickersham,
who holds that the purchase of such
lands cannot be made with a reser-
walton to the original guarantees to
mineral rights. This will preclude
the purchase of land and timber only
on mineral lands needed for the Ap-
palaChian reserve, and will Interfere
to some extent, especially in the
south, with the commissions plans
in expanding the $11, 100000 appro-
priation.

For Administration.

whom it may concern: Grady
Bridges having in proper form ap-
piled to me for permanent letters OF

is to cite all and singular the credit
ors and next of kin of Albert Bridges
to be and appear at my office within

Caught in the Act.

By a purely fortuitous concourse
of circumstances a policeman was
just rounding the nearby corner. He
saw it all. He laid his heavy hand
on Samuel ROsendorf's shoulder and
took the old gentleman, gold-headed
cane and all, to the station house,
where charge of theft was docket
ed and cash bond required in the
sum of $25 which the bewildered old
man gave and departed.
Two hours afterward Samuel Ros-
endorf's name was spread in box car
flaming letters across the front page
of an Atlanta paper, by the black
type branded thief"
An INJURY into Rosendorf's pri-
vate life ELECTS the fact that he has
for over fifty years, all his lifetime
in Atlanta, been the soul of honor
kindly as well as honest. Not one
word had ever been breathed against
him.

BIG DELEGATION AFTER ROAD
Arlington, Bluffton and Fort Gaines
Citizens Meet MIR. Roberts.

Arlington, BlufftOn and Fort Gaines
Citizens Meet MIR. Roberts.
About seventy-f1ve of the most pro-
gressive and prominent citizens of
Arlington, Bluffton and FIT. Gaines
arrived in the city Tuesday morning
in eighteen automobiles to meet Mr.
Frank Roberts of the V. M. & w.
Railroad The object of their jour-
ney to Camilla was to confer with
Mr.. Roberts relative to the building
OF his road through their respective
towns Mr.. Roberts arrived in Ca
milla Monday evening and awaited
the coming of the party at the Nc
Nair Hotel, where reservation had
been made for dinner Tuesday.
Mr.. Roberts stated to the delega-
ton that he had located his line as
far as Newton, and that he proposed
to have trains running into that town
by the first of January. He stated
that the survey was completed that
far, and that dirt would be flying in
very short while. He promised the
delegation that as soon as he could
extend his survey on to FIT. Gaines
he would make the towns along the
route selected proposition. Until
this survey was made he would be
unable to make any proposition. He
said, however, that he was partial to
the route they offered, else he would
not have secured a charter through
those towns.-Camilla Enterprise.

Does Not Talk.

The old man is too surprised to
say much. A reporter who went to
interview him met a reception that
quite disarmed comment. The grown
up daughter was at the door. She
hadn't heard the news and stared
wide-eyed and incredulous as if it
were a fairy tale. But she was per-
fectly willing to see if the father
would talk. Incidentally she remark
| ed, to herself rather than the re-
porter, that her father had been hit
in the head by falling beam about
year ago, and had sometimes seem
ed queer since, but that she had new
er heard of his wanting a nickel or
an empty bottle. Then Mr.. Rosen-
dorf came. He seemed still bewiI-
dered and dazed. Yes, he would
gladly make statement. Here it
is: He was much obliged to the
newspaper for being so kind as to
send to see him. He was pleased to
meet the reporter. He supposed that
if they made him do it he would get
lawyer, but after all twas not a
crosses" thing. AS to what he want
ed with the nickel at the present he
would not say.
So, there rests the mystery-one
which Dickens would have delighted
to solve. Maybe the old man yielded
to fancy to play boyish prank, or
maybe the mind was clouded for an
instant, or perhaps the blow received
Ia year ago awakened some strange
instinct foreign to the old mans real
nature. Idle questions. Samuel Ros-
endorf himself probably couldn't an
SWeT them.

MYSTERY PUZZLES ATLANTA
WEALTHY CITIZEN is CAUGHT
TAKING A LONE NICKEL.
Arrested and Held in Bond. Empty
Milk Bottle Holds Mystery That
May Turn Tragedy or Comedy.


ATLANTA.-On the front door
step of a cottage on South Pryor
street stands an empty milk bottle.
Yet it is not really empty, for it
holds a mystery, which may perhaps
turn tragedy, perhaps comedy.
This morning at dawn the bottle
held a shiny nickel, left there anent
the coming of the milk man at six
o'clock.
Three doors below the cottage, in
another peaceful home, lived Samuel
Rosendorf, a wealthy and peaceable
old gentleman who had amassed a
considerable fortune in the grocery
business, but the tenor of whose way
had been so tranquil that possibly his
name had never been printed except
in the telephone book and the city
directory. There was something
old-fashiOned and idyllic about his
| life.
This morning Samuel Rosendorf
arose before the milkman and walk
ed out in the bright dawn while the
grass was wet with dew for a little
stroll before breakfast He espied
the milk bottle, and in it the shiny
nickel. He stopped and looked again.
Then, a queer expression coming into
his face, he peered up the street and
down, darted forward, took the nick
Ell from the bottle and put it in his
pocket

Eighth Grade Defeats Second Team.

In fierce and hard fought scrimmage
last evening the Sth grade football team
defeated the second high school team by
a score of 6-5. All the scoring was
done in the first half when Capt William
Thunstedt of the second high school
team returned punt 80 yards for a
touchdown and failed to kick goal.
The second team then kicked off to Sth
grade, who carried the ball from their
own 25 yard line to the second teams s
yard line where they lost the ball on a
tumble. The second team then kicked
out of danger and then the 8th grade
carried the ball right back to the 10 yard
line-where Walter Erickson on an off
tackle plunge behind splendid interfer-
ence carried the ball over for touch
down. Lenas Thyden kicked a difficult
goal. End Of first half.
In the first half the second team was
outplayed a good part of the time, the
Sth grade line breaking up most of the
plays before they had hardly started.
The second half saw the second team
opening up on the offense but the for
ward passes wouldn't work. The ball
ee-sawed up and down the field and
time was called with the ball in the
grades territory.
The playing of Erickson and Larsen
for the Sth grade was the feature of
the game. D. I. Taylor, plunging GEN.
ter of the first team, refereed the game
and Gerald Geer umpired. Both gave
good satisfaction.
