RICH CROOK DEAD.
Wealthy Young Man Who Led Life
of q Burglar.

Death has ended the career OF
Thomas Wandlass, the white front
burglar who was shot and fatally
wounded while breaking into the
home of Thomas Tapley, a contractor
in Passaic, N. J. Wandlass preferred
the underworld to "a life of luxury
in the home of a fond and wealthy
mother. He developed from a sort
of "angel child to desperate Grim.
inal. Paralysis of his vocal organs
shortly after his capture kept the po.
lice from obtaining any correct &C
count of his amazing career.
Jean Mitchell, aged II years, who
called herself his chicken stall'' and
assisted him in % burglaries, has
pleaded guilty and will receive SEN
tence. She declares she is eager to
get back to her home in the New
England States as she has had enough
of travel and nice dresses, the bait
offered by Wandlass when she con-
sented to become his accomplice.
The police called Wandlass q
supper worker" and "dress suit
burglar" He called himself
white front" burglar and was fasci'
mated by the danger of robbing a
house while there were many per-
sons about. Often he would stop
to listen to the dinner chatter before
making his escape Generally he
selected a dark or dimly lighted
parlor, jimmied the window and
climbed in. During the months that
the girl worked with him he relied
upon her to spill faint" as she
called it, and draw the crowd while
he made his escape.
Wandlass was about 80 years old
His mother, Mrs. Augustus F. Ber-
ner, is a woman of wealth and re-
finement in Brooklyn, N. Y. Her
first husband, Wandlass, was hotel
proprietor and we'll to do. He left
a comfortable fortune, and when ne
died his son, Tom, was model
youngster and a great church work
er. He was precocious, high strung
and had a vivid imagination.
Just when he became transformed
into a "bad man" no one seems to
know, but he ran away from board
ing school at II and the next his
mother heard of him was that ne
was a member of a gang of thieves
He was never what might be called
a Rafles, except that he dressed well
and committed most of his burglaries
while clad in evening clothes. He
was known to the police as Kid
Howard and Thomas Hanley and had
served time in several penal 1nstl-
tutions in the State of New York.

REFUSE TO PAY POLICY.
Woodmen of World Decline to Settle
Policy on Life of Murdered Man.

Laurens, Jan. 19.-According to
advices received by the officers Of
the local camp, Woodmen of the
World, from the sovereign camp Of
foers at Omaha, Neb., Mrs. Della
Brown Hamilton, the self-made wild
ow of the late E. A. Hamilton, the
young planter who met a tragic death
at the hands of his young wife dur
ing the Christmas holidays, will not
be paid the amount of the life in
surance policy carried by her hus-
band in the order of the Woodmen.
The policy was for $4,000 and Mrs.
Hamilton was named as the benc-
ficiary. Proofs of death and other
data were forwarded to the head Of
flee, and in return the local camp
was advised that the policy had been
rendered null and void by reason Of
the act of the beneficiary herself and
the amount named therein could not
be paid.
AS will be recalled, Mr.. Hamilton
was killed Late at night, December
%, last, while asleep in his room at
his home three miles east of the city.
His head was battered and mutilated
with the pole of an axe in the hands
of Mrs. Hemilton, according to the
verdict of the coroner's jury after an
investigation into the homicide on
the day following the tragedy. In
deed Mrs. Hamilton was the first to
give the alarm after doing her dead
ly work, going out and telling some
of the negroes that she had killed
Mr.. Hamilton. Returning insanity
was assigned as the cause of her aw-
full deed and she was promptly re-
turned to the Hospital for the Insane
at Columbia.

Kill More Than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from their attacks. They're
in air. water, dust, even food. But
grand protection is afforded by Elec-
fric Bitters, which destroy and expel
these deadly y disease germs from the
system. That's why chills, fever and
ague, all malarial and many blood
diseases yield promptly to this won
derful blood purifier. Try them and
enjoy the glorious health and new
strength they'll give you. Money
back, if not satisfied. Only SOC. at

tions are furnished them each sue
ceeding season.
Fourth, by the use of commercial
fertilizer.
Our Southern lands are practically
exhausted of plant food. Years of
farming have stolen from the soil
more fertilizer ingredients than we
have placed back upon the land. To
get the maximum production per acre
you must have an excess of plant
food. You can not economically by
one maximum application in one year
replenish the soil.
You must gradually increase the
amount of fertilizers in your worn
out soil and by proper attention to
rotation in a few years bring up the
productiveness of your soil to a point
where a bale to the acre would be
the rule and not the exception.
It will not pay you to raise cotton
under the additional expenses incur
red in fighting the weevil on any
land that does not produce as much
as one-half bale to an acre, in spite
of the weevil.
The prospects are that the advent
of the devastating enemy will con-
tinue to keep the price of cotton to
a high figure, and that those who can
produce cotton in spite of the Weevll
will still find it most profitable
crop.
The whole key to the situation
rests in renewing the vigor OF your
land. Rotation and high fertlllza-
ton are your only means; one can
not succeed without the other.
This is the South Georgia and
South Alabama proposition to-day.
You have only a few seasons at best
to prepare.
Note-The above article was writ
ten, based upon personal interviews
with number of Southern men who
are devoting their time to the boil
weevil problem, and after a personal
visit and study of boil weevil condi-
ton in Texas and Mississippi.

He closed his address with a
