MOULTRIE, Ca, Oct. CIV. G. G.
Button, a colored carpenter, brought the
freakest freak in the potato line seen
so far The potato is 20 inches long and
in many way resembles a rattlesnake.
The head is separated from the body by
a crooked neck, and the body tapers off
into a tail, while the end of the tail
very much resembles a rattle.

is BELOVED BY CANADIANS

The Dominion OF Canada seems TO
be coming upon a new epoch in her
history. With the passing OF the
liberal party from power the present
governor general, Earl Grey, and his
wife, the much beloved Countess Grey,
will also pass from the stage of Cana
dian affairs and give place TO the duke
and duchess OF Connaught. Probably
no other first lady OF Canada has been
more popular with the Canadian
people than Countess Grey, whose
portrait is here shown. She is a wom-
an of personality and charm and from
the time that she was warmly re-
ceived into the country by the Canadi-
ans she has endeared herself to their
hearts in a way that makes her-de-
parture a source Of deep regret
throughout the Dominion.
While in Canada Lady Grey has
taken the deepest interest in educa-
tional, charitable and humanitarian

SUCCESSOR TO STOLYPIN

The czar OF Russia could never
have appointed a better man TO the
place than when he made Waldemar
Kokovtzoff his premier. Kokovtzoh
had been acting in that capacity ever
since Stolypin was assassinated by
Dmitry Bogroff, so II was not any
thing unusual for the Russian en-
peror to appoint M. Kokovtzoff as the
murdered mans successor
NJ. Kokovtzoff has travelled exten-
sively. In this latter connection he
met many leading Statesmen and men
OF finance, which gave him a broader
knowledge OF affairs outside Of Rus
sia than Stolypin ever enjoyed. Ko-
kovtzoff was also present at the as
sassination OF the japanese Prince
I.o at Harbin, Manchuria.
No Russian statesman has stood
higher in the public eye than Kokov-
tzor. He is popular figure in the
court circles and in the society OF St

BROTHER LONG LOST
indians Carried Away William
Brown at Austin, Tex.
Recent Rumors Have Prompted .
Search by Mrs. Carrie Jayne Nc
Farland, a Sister, but So Far
Without Result.

Darlington, Okla.-Nearly seventy
years ago William Love Brown, then
twelve years old. was carried away by
a band of Comanche Indians from the
home OF his parents in the outskirts
OF Austin, Tex, and taken TO the Co
manche camps in what Is now south
west Oklahoma. Ever since that day
the kinsmen OF the lost boy have been
searching for him, and hoping that he
might be found. Their inquiries were
lately renewed by reason OF a news
paper story telling OF an old man, long
captive among Indians in Oklahoma,
who was trying to find his people.
Mrs. Carrie Jayne Mcfarland OF
Port Lavaca, Tex, sister OF Rrowns
heard Of the story and has written 10
United States Indian agents in Okla
homa, asking IL they know OF the man.
The agents have no knowledge OF
him. Mrs. Mcfarland Is being assist
ed in her search by her son-in-law, F.
p. Penfield of Houston, Tex. Mis-
sionaries among the Kiowas and Co
manches have been requested to ques-
ton the old men of these tribes and,
AZ possible, learn II they have any
knowledge of the attack on the Brown
home.
Mrs. Mcfarland lately told this
story of the incidents that led to the
loss OF her brother:
"Some eight or ten Comanche In
dians rode up to our gate Sunday
July 10, 1912. and asked the way to
Austin. Father walked out near the
gate to direct them, my mother and
the children following to look at the
painted faces of the Indians and the
shields they carried.

and picked up my brother Amos and
placed him behind him and started "a

ADEE LONG IN THE SERVICE

Forty-two years service under the
national government, 25 Of them spent
as second assistant secretary OF state,
is the remarkable record Of Alvey Au-
gustus Adee, perhaps the best known
man in the whole diplovatic world.
Secretaries Of state may come and go,
but Adee goes on forever.
Mr.. Adee was born in Astoria, n. Y.
November %, 1912. His first service
in the diplomatic corps was as secre-
tary OF the American legation at Mad
rid, TO which he was appointed on
September 8. 1870, and, in the absence
of the charge d'affaires, assumed the
duties OF that office. He remained at
this post until 1877, when, because OF
I'll health, he returned TO the United
States. Shortly after his return he
was appointed chief OF the diplomatic
bureau, which place he held until July
Is, 1882, when President Arthur ap-

And that game was won because o.

Il slipped Murray the hit and run

drew back his arm Snodgrass was on.
Murray swung hard at the ball and
hit sharply to Collins.
The ball bounded rapidly and
straight to Collins. Had Snodgrass
waited until Murray hit into that pan
he would have been forced at second

Arrest During the Civil War.

Inquirer.
There were two arrests Of Alexan-
lrinas during the civil war. You seem
;eem to have them mixed. The first
md doubtless the one in your mind
,curred in the early part of the year
S62, when a number OF residents Of
his city were taken into custody and
,laced in the Old Capitol prison in
Washington. The cause Of the arrest
vas never made clear, but it was
doubtless brought about by joff1cious
'eople. (Alexandrians who had es-
,oused the cause OF the federal gov
,rnmenU II had been previously
sserted at a meeting OF such that

tineds,to become more and more ex-
citable as the months come and go.
So far as can be seen now, there are
no vital political issues ON the docket.
1t seems to be more a matter of per-
sonal preference than anything else.
But that there will be issues sprung
which will necessarily produce heat
goes without saying. The position
of mayor is now the Office which is
attracting general attention. The
present occupant has no intention of
offering himself as a candidate to
succeed himself; hence several gen
tlemen have been suggested: So
far but two have announced
themselves as being in the race.
Others, however, i'm the hands OF
their friends are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of entering the arena
1t may be said truly that long and
laborious period is before those whr
pose as candidates, and that whoever
may prove victorious will earn the
post with its insignificant emolu
ments and doubtful glory. The posi-
ton of mayor is beset with innum-
cradle difficulties after man ''gets
there" He has a capricious commun-
ity with which to deal, and much OF
his time is consumed in listening tc
people who have no real business with
him. Should he succeed in givinf
satisfaction to the great majority he
will accomplish work none Of his
predecessors was ever able to fui-
fill. The sad experience of Sanchc

The steamer Monticello followed a

Military Executions.

What military executions took
place in Alexandria and vicinity dur
ing the civil war? Curious.
The we're several military execu-
lions in Alexandria during the four
years war The first was that OF
soldier named Johnson who deserted
and was epdeavoring to And camp
of Confederates when arrested. He
was hanged near the Episcopal Theo-
logical Seminary in 1851. Another
soldier was hanged at the same place
during the same year for numbering
woman on Queen street. A man
named Downey was also shot TO death
for bounty-jumping, as was also
mother man named Thompson, who
had jumped seventeen bounties and
was in the act OF jumping the eight
zenith when arrested The later pre-
,iously TO being executed was confined
n the building on the southeast cor
lerPrince and Fairfax streets, which
was Green's furniture factory before
md after the war, and is now used
BY the Emerson engine works and
he laundry company. The Braddock
louise was the military hospital dur
ing the war, and the Nison used by
he military authorities was what had
been Price, Birch &; Co. s Jail, north
vest corner OF Duke and Payne
streets. A row of dwellings now
stands upon the site. The prison was
'1nown as the Slave Pen, the owners
having been dealers in slaves.
