Mr.. Mclean Immediately shook his
fist at the Hope diamond, charged ii
with making the maid ill and driv-
ing the cook out of the house, and
told the Carriers it had broken it's
contract and that they had better
come and take it away.
Now, the Cartiefs wouldn't do any
such thing, although not denying
that the illness of the maid and the
secession of the cook were calami-
tous, What they contended was that
neither the maid nor the COOK was a
member of the Mclean family. Mr..
Mclean tells woefully of the indi-
gestion that has come to him with a
new cook, and declares that the maid
and the cook who left are the roof
tree and the hearthstone and the
front door bell of the entire estab-
lishment.
Mrs. Mclean, who was Mrs. Eve
Ign Walsh, takes the same view as
her husband and quite a few other
persons as to the pernicious influence
that goes with the Hope diamond.

house.

COST OF LIVING FOR A FASHIONABLE
WOMAN THIRTY YEARS AGO

A writer in a French woman's pa
per makes an interesting comparison
between the cost of living for fash
ionable woman today and thirty
years ago.
An income of $4,000 was count
ed as wealthy thirty years ago. says
the writer. ''The woman who dress
es in the height of fashion paid any
thing between $50 and $50 for a
smart frock, while hat that cost as
much as $40 was looked upon as an
unheard of extravaganza.
The most elegant hats were sell
dom priced above SO, and as for a
morning gown trimmed with lace and
ribbon it might be had for $40 or
SIS. The highest price given for an
evening cloak was about $50, and if
a woman treated her friend at a
confectioner's shop she would spend
less than half dollar on chocolate
and cakes for both.
A drive in the park cost less than
81, and a carriage could be hiled for
the whole day at less than IS. Any
body who hired a carriage by the
month was thought very rich, and

M'LEANS BLAME DIAMOND
THEIR COOK QUIT HER JOB AND
THE MAID BECAME I'LL.
Reasons for Rejecting the Gem Are
Given by the McLeans, Who Are
Being Sued for S18O,OOO.


When the Hope diamond, the fa-
nous blue gem which has left trail
of misfortune behind it ever since
it was discovered, was purchased re-
Gently by Edward B. Mclean, son of
John R. Mclean of Washington,
from the Carriers of New York and
Paris, Mr. Mclean caused to be in
serted in the purchasing contract a
clause to the effect that if any i'll
luck should befall any of the Nc
Lean family within six months after
the date of purchase the transaction
was to be invalidated
Well, the i'll luck fell with a des-
perate thud within two months after
he became the owner of the gem, Mr..
Mclean now alleges. 1t is his de-
Tense in suit which has been open
ed by the Carriers to recover the
$1S0,0O0 with which he agreed ten
tatiVely to part in exchange for the
stone.
Mr. Mclean declares in his defense
that the gem hardly had chance to
twinkle few twinks in his home
when one of the maids fell i'll, and
the fact was still disturbing tine
equanimity of the household when
the cook, who Mr. Mclean believed
ranked as an important factor in his
home, wrapped her buds in her hest
Irish linen handkerchiefs and an

those who had their own were spOk-
en- of as millionaires.
Compare this with today. A sim
pie walking costume is priced at from
$50 to 1920. An inexpensive visiting
frock will cost anything above $3.50,
while a really elegant morning gown
cannot be had under 500. A fur
cloak is not dear at $4,000, and a
plain hat costs $40 Hats may run
up to $500 or more.
Most smart women have their
own automobiles, while their less
fortunate sisters must be content
with hiring car at $40 for half a
day Afternoon teas run into dol
lars, and altogether an income of
$4,000 year is, according to the
Partisan phrase, just good enough to
make $4,000 worth of debts"
A curious fact is that incomes of
$4,000 a year are not now thought
so much of. This is true not only
of Paris, but also of London, st. Pc
tersburg and even Berlin, Dresden
and Frankfort, and the question is
asked: Where has all the money
come from New York Sun.

Geneal Laing and Phil Clayton.
No whiskey was found at any of
the near beer saloons, and small
quantities of it was taken at only
five of the other places. The largest
amount found at any one place was
in possession of Sim Moore, who had
II quarts and 8 pints. At ]. w.

pints and 8 half pints; at ]. G. Do

l pint and 6 half pints; at Claud
Hollands pints and l half pint.
All of the parties readily admitted
the searcheTs to their places except
General Laing. who could not be
found, and his store was broken into.
AS directed by the order of the
Judge all of the parties against
whom complaint was lodged by the
petitioners were arrested by the sher-
if, who took bond in the sum of 5000
each for their appearance before
Judge Worrill in Cuthbert on June
18th to show cause why their places
of business should not be closed per
manently as nuisances.
In the meantime the lid is on, the
nigh beeries are closed, and Dawson
is experiencing one of che severest
drOuths in it's history.

SOLD NEGROES MINE STOCK
NOW SUITS ARE BEING Filled
BY THE HUNDRED.
White Men Who Duped Blacks in
Terrell County Reaped Har-
vest i'm Brooks Also.


The Quitman correspondent of the
Savannah Morning News gives an ar
count of the filing in Brooks county
suits on great number of notes
given by negroes. These suits have
brought to light what appears to be
a scheme of great proportions to
raise money. This time negroes
alone are the victims Last yea
three white men of good address
worked Brooks county thoroughly
selling stock in the Queen Silver
Mining Co., another rich" Mexican
mine. They avoided discussing the
business with their acquaintance
among white men and sought their
clients entirely among negroes.
These are, very likely, the same
men who canvassed the negroes i'm
| Terrell county and disposed of much
mining" stock to them.
1t was represented that Bishop If
M. Turner was the president of the
company, and that it was officersdJ
entirely by well-to-do negroes, and
white men had nothing to do with it.
they were merely acting as Bishona
Turner's agents. Many of the ne
groes were ready buyers, a large
number of them taking only one
share at $40 Others, however, who
had property bought as much as 800
and $500 worth of the stock. Where.
cash was not available notes were,
given against the time when the ne
groes would sell their crops.
One legal firm at Quitman fs safa
to have over 100 of these notes for
collection, and number of suits are
pending in the city court.
NO one seems to know where the
mining company originated or who is
back Of it. A man in MilledgeyiIle
holds most of the notes against the
Brooks county negroes, but it is
thought he is merely an agent.

Deputies Sworn in.
When the papers had all been fixed
up, placed in Sheriff Hills hands and
a general raid was the next thing on
the programme all of his deputies
and court bailiffs had gone home for
the nigrt. The sheriff, however,
acted promptly, and began calling
we'll known citizens to the court
house by telephone and swearing
them in as special deputies. He did
not stop until there were % of them,
as follows: S. A. Brim, II. A. Petty,

In order to prevent the possibility
of a leak and any of the suspected
parties warned none of the special
deputies were informed of what was
wanted with them until after they
were sworn in, and the grand jury,
where the plan to give the alleged
tigers a surprise party originated,
were kept locked in their room from
1870 o'clock in the afternoon until
.11:15 at night, not member being
allowed to leave or communicate

nearly week, or until a burglar
