her body had been supposedly found in
Lake Osceola, w. o. Shellnut. an At

cross-examination today and declared
that he would not swear positively
that the girl he had talked to was
Myrtle Hawkins" that he might have
been mistaken, as mo man was per-
feet"
He admitted that he had told press
representative that for $4,000, deposited
in a local bank, he would produce the
living body of Myrtle Hawkins, now
generally supposed to be dead.
On the stand, however, when asked
by the cross-examining attorney If he,
being willing to see Justice Gore at
that price, would produce the girl,

UNEXPECTED WITNESS.
An unexpected witness appeared in
the presence of John w. Deaver. of
Pennsylvania county, who, having stop
ped over in Hendersonville to change
trains, voluntarily entered the court
room and informed attorneys for the
defense that he had met and talked
with w. o. Shellnut last January at

WHEN THE PANAMA CANAL Is
OPENED.
FOR years and years we have been ar
guing and debating about the Panama
canal: first as 10 its location. then as
to paying the construction bills. II will
be ready to open for business in a year
or so. and now the people who want TO
go across free are clsmOring for canal
with no tolls. This is the harp that has
got down to one string and. and IL means
that few people in ship-owning will get
al there is in sight. and the great major
it's will be taxed to keep the canal in
operation.
Ii makes me tired TO hear so much
twaddle about American glory-American
enterprise and American genius-when
Just a few folks are proposing to get
free tonnage and let the taxpay ers still
foot the bills. I would not have the toll
at q high figure: but 1 certainly do want
10 see some Of those hundred millions
coming back into the reasury-until
some OF the expense is recovered to those
who paid for the digging. etc.
The canal proposition was held up a
long time because the Pacific railroads
had a monopoly OF the carrying trade
across the continent According to the
custom OF those railroads. they kept
competition. II was hoped that they
would hold up and let the Panama canal
alone; but suspect they have an eye
10 the main chance already
Today's paper tells OF their control OF
millions Of acres Of valuable coal lands
on the Southern Pacific route that were
granted 70 the railroad under the title of
AGRICULTURAL lands According to this
publication the government is taking
steps 70 recover some OF these valuable
properties.
That those Pacific railroads are going
to put a finger in the pie, and try TO
manage the Panama canal. TO their own
advantage. I am perfectly convinced II
they need votes in congress they viii do
what they always do-buy up eonugh
votes 20 do their bidding.
You and 1 would have a lifetime bust
ness OF counting 500. ooo.0oo aand II it is
to Be a free thing to shipowners, where
do the taxpayers get anything for their
paw.

After the diploma then what? We
all understand there will be many who
will study law and medicine-from
the Tech. schools. many will get posi-
tions in mechanical pursuits; but the
girls-what OF them? A large number
will go TO teaching-and a good many
will adopt a business course-go into
Offices and use stenography with cor
respondence and bookkeeping. But there
is still a large overplus and what will
they do?
A large number will go to their
homes and try for society pleasures
and good time" and from school
confinement they will go to dress

gaieties-and the majority of the rich

COLQUIT TO HARVEST
HEAVY ONION CROP
Experiment Has Been Very
Successful CantaIoupeS
Ripening
Especial Dispatch to The Journal

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
MOULTRIE, Ga, June 1.-The expert
ment tried with Bermuda onions by the
Georgia Northern Railroad company
has been successful. and it is very like
ly that they will be planted by many
farmers of Colquitt county next year.
The average yield of those planted this
year will be SIS to the acre, according
to the statement of Frank R. Pidcock,
the vice president of the Georgia North
ern, who, with George E. Smith, the
traffic manager, had charge of the ex-
periments.
Som eime ago the company set aside
three acres of ground to be used for
raising Bermuda onions. The plots
were in charge of Mr.. Pidcock, Mr..
Smith and President. c. w. Pidcock.
They are now harvesting the crop, and
the yield is 300 bushels to the acre
Some of the onions are already weigh
ing pound and they are selling at 5
cents a pound. which brings the gross
revenue to the acre up to half a thou
sand dollars, which is away above any
other crop. The land in this county
has been cleared of stumps but a few
years and this, experts say, is the right
kind of land for growing Bermuda
onions.
Henry Parrish, Is. J. Fulghum and
several other large farmers are trying
the onion planting and their crops, al
though put in a little later than the
railroad people planted theirs, are
showing a remarkable growth
Catalogues have beeen planted with
much success by Walter Newsome and
Fl. M. Mayo, who were placed here by
the Georgia and Florida Railroad COM
pany. Some of the melons are large
enough to eat at the present time, but
they are a little too green to be mar
keted. The planters say it will be al
most month until the melons are in
the right shape to be shipped and eaten.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-Liquor inter-

against the governmelt than any other
taxed class of business, according to Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Cabell.

Using data compiled through expert
ments with the treasury distillery the
recently established and only legally un-
licensed distillery i'm the country-elabor-
ate tables have been prepared showing
the exact amount OF alcohol any given
formula should produce. Armed with the
tables, the revenue officers win be able to
require the liquor manufactures to &C
