1t differed very little from cores
Of propositions she had decided al
most off hand, and yet the letter fas-

There had been talk then Of great
things that were to be done for her,
and Ned had b%luntly demanded that

She had chosen the career to re-
gret it ever after, for he had flung
himself out of her presence and she
had not seen him since. She had
heard that he had gone west, but
they never had had friends in com
mon and none of her acquaintance
could tell her anything of his where

ADVICE FOR

in no mood for wading through a
mass of false sentiment and untu-
tored pleading.
She smiled a cynical little smile
as she drew the chair up to the desk
and reached for the slender blade Of
steel that she used as an envelope
opener. 1t seemed funny that the
Daily Solar should assign her to ad-
wise the loyelorn when she herself
was 50 poorly advised. Her contri-
buttons had caught the fancy Of the
managing editor, and so he had Of

because it promised to lead to better
things, but she grew tired Of telling
young girls not to seek the friend
ship of men to whom they could not
be properly introduced, and answer
ing the ever recurring inquiry as to
the proper YEA for afternoon and
evening weddings.
The mail this morning was the
usual mixtures of pathos and non
sense, but over n she paused a long
time before she put it aside, because
il seemed so very like her own case.

NO LIGHT ON THE
 DOUBLE KILLING
CAUSE OF SUNDAYS TRAGEDY IS STILL MATTER OF DOUBT. CORONER TO HOLD FORMAL INQUEST TOMORROW

Further investiga ton by Coroner B. l.. Brasher of the tragic shooting of L. F. Marbut and C. J. Strong Sunday night at the Marbut home, near Rising station, has failed to throw any light on the cause of the trouble between the two men.

 Neither of the men would make state ment before death in regard to the shoot ing. Officer c. c. Hancock, who talked with the men a few seconds after the shooting occurred, stated that both re- fused to talk.
 The police have accepted the statement or Mrs. Marbut and will make no further investigation into the matter Captain Eagan, who was on the scene stated that he had secured all the information pos sble about the affair and thought it best to drop it.
 Coroner Brasher went to the scene of the shooting yesterday morning and vii investigate the killing. The formals in- quest will not be held before tomorrow It is possible, states the conorer, that the inquest will be held late this afternoon should he secure necessary evidence
 The body of L. F. Marbut, aged 3S years, will be sent to Atlanta today TOT interment by the Green Underta king company. The body will be accompanied by Mrs. Marbut and other relatives. MT Marbut is survived by a widow, father and one brother.

ALMON ON HIGHWAY COMMISSION BILL Speaker of House Says It Will Pass the Senate WHAT BILL PROVIDES Commission Will Get annual Appro- priation of $154,000 and May
 Employ Engineer at $5000
 Salary
WHAT BILL PROVIDES

Judge E. B. Almon, speaker of the house of representatives, Nho was in Bir- mingham yesterday, said the present week would probably be the most interesting of the present session of the legislature. Speaker Almon pointed out that the rev. enue bill as revised would come up at a committee meeting tomorrow and tho scheduled regulation bill would be given another inning. The appropriations bill and the Almon good roads measure creat- ing a state highway commission would also be handled by the senate today.
 In discussing the work of the legisla- ture Judge Amon said that up to the present time the sessions had been fruit full, but that the sessions would be more rapid in the future and that a greater number of important matters would be handled because of the fact that the leg islature is fully organized and all tho committees in working order.
 He seemed to be greatly interested yes- terday in the enactment he prepared to provide the state, highway commission. Judge Almon discussed that measure en- Enthusiastically and said he firmly be- lieved it would pass the senate and be- come law this week.

ID DISCUSS BOND
 ISSUE FOR H|LLMAN
MASS MEETING TO BE HELD TO- NIGHT AT CHAMBER OF CON- MERGE AUDITORIUM TO CON- SIDER PLANS

meeting will be held at the Chamber the view of discussing the proper ways and means of securing funds with sYhich to make the very necessary enlargements at the Hllman hospital. The general public has been invited, and a large num- Der of. prominent men and women inter- ested in charity and public work are ex- pected to be in attendance at the gather ing.
 An effort will be made to secure in all probability a fund of $l50,00O by issuance of bonds. The idea of the meeting is 10 discuss the practica bility of calling for an election for this purpose The needs of the county's hospital for the poor have been recently investigated not only by private citizens, but also by the grand jury who recommended she addition of another wing to accommodate the grow ing numbers who daily seek admission out heretofore that an average of 12 per sons are turned away from the doors Of the hospital every day because of the crowded conditions, and it has further- more been shown that the maternity ward consists of only one bed. which is prac- ticaliy no ward; that there is no segre- gaton of surgical and medical cases for mere want of space; that there is no chil- dren's ward; that there is no proper place for holding outdoor clinics; and that the equipment of the institution is altogether insufficient for the needs of the place.
 Several meetings have already been heid with the idea of acquainting the public with the deplorable conditions existing at the Hilman hospital because of msuffi- cient support. Considering the limitations and the burdens under which the mem bers of the staff of the hospital have Ieen forced to work, notable results with the patients on the whole have been achieved. There is strong sentiment in favor Of building an institution which will in every way meet the demands of growing com munity to such an extent as will reflect credit on the city and county.
