DISAPPEARS AS HE
SICK BED
Ethiopia, Ca, PostoffiCe En-
pIoyee Strangely Missing in
AtIanta-Had Big Sum.

j. W. Jackson, postmaster at Euto-
pia, Ga, is in Atlanta today making a
personal search of the city in the hope
of obtaining a cew to the whereabouts
of j. c. Boyd, an employee of the post
office and well known citizen of Euto-
pia who strangely disappeared in this
city last Wednesday Just after, being
discharged from a private sanitarium.
Jackson has enlisted the aid of the
police in solving the mystery. as
Boyd's family and friends fear some
harm mas befallen him.
He had considerable money when he
left the sanitarium, and this fact has
served to strengthen the fears of foul
play.
When Boyd walked out of the santa =
rum Wednesday morning he appeared
to have regained his health. was jovial
and in good spirits, and announced that
he was going directly to his home and
resume his postal duties. He carried a
suit case that bore his name. He failed
to show up at his home at the appoint
ed time, however, and since then no
word of any kind has been heard of
him. Not the slightest trace OF him
can be found When he left the sani-
tarium he went to board a trolley car.
No one has been able to trace him from
that point.
Boyd had been in i'll health for some
time and had been an inmate of the
sanitarium several weeks He is blond,
is 80 years old and weighs 200 pounds.

London Engineers
Have a New Tire

A report coming from England states
that a new tire is about TO be placed
on the market by the Holmes Engineering
company OF London
Ii is said that il will give Is per cent
more service than any other make manu-
featured at the present time, and that the
tire can be produced and sold for 10 per
cent less than anything manufactured
heretofore.
The ingredients OF this new tire are still
a profound secret. but It is known that
leather ground TO fine powder and mixed
withsthe rubber and other unknown mate
rails under an extremely high pressure are
used In its manufacture. The claim Is
made that IL is equally as resilient as
the usual type Of tire OF today. and that
In one respect II is even more so for
the reason that IL can be used with lower
air pressure in the inner tube without
