MYRTLE HAWKINS living :?
Commercial Man Declares He Talked
to Her After Body Found.
Baskerville CitiZen.)

That Myrtle Hawkins Is not dead,
but is alive and well at Key West,
Fla, or some city adjacent thereto,
Is the belief Of attorneys for the de-
tense in the case Of the State against
the McCalls and Bradleys, who were
arrested some weeks ago charged
with the responsibility for Myrtle
Hawkins death. This startling deyel-
opment, if it should prove such, fol-
Vows the recent declaration Of Geo.
Shelnaught, commercial traveller,
ON Atlanta, who claims, and, it Is
said, will swear that he met Myrtle
HAWKINS in Jacksonville last Sep
tember, "|ortly aftor her supposed
body was found in the waters of
Lake OSceOla, near IIendcrsOnville.
Shellnaught says that he talked with
the girl, called her by name and that
she admitted her identity. She'll
nauSht gives no reason why he kent
silent until after the arrests of the
parties named, but states now that
when he read in the papers that the
McCalls and Bradlcys had been
placed in jail to await trial for mur-
der, he felt that he ought to say
something, and in this state of mind
ne told the sheriff of Fulton county.
Georgia, who has headquarters at
Atlanta, about meeting Myrtle Haw-
kins on the streets of jacksonville
Shellnaught goes on to say that the
glrl was living in a cheap boarding
mouse. The sheriff Of Fulton county
Immediately notified Sheriff Black
well at llendersonville, giving him
Shellnaughts address. One of the
attorneys FOR the defense lost no
'1lhc in going to Jacksonville, but
arrived there only to find that the
girl supposed to be Myrtle Hawkins
mad gone to Key West, Fla, without
leaving any address.
That the attorneys who will fight
10 clear the McCalls and Bradleys
OF the charge now lying against
'hem place crcdence in Shellnaught's
story is evidenced by the fact that
papers for the taking of dcpositiops
AT Jacksonville and at Atlanta have
oeeh drawn up, and one Of the law
serS Tor the defendants will leave
'hls week to procure statements
from the proprietress OF the house
whero it is said Myrtle Hawkins
boarded, and from the sheriff and
Shellnaught at Atlanta.

South Carolina Raises Practically

That South Carolina will lead all
other States represented in the
Southern Baptist Convention in the
matter Of raising the greatest per-

Home and Foreign Missions is entire.

kindly furnished the News Yesterday
by Editor }. G. Keys, of the Baptist
Courier.
For Foreign Missions.
The Foreign Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention is ex-
pected to raise this year 100000
for Foreign Missions. South Caro-
!ina's apportionment OF that amount
was S52 900. When the books closed
Tuesday night, April 30th, it was
seen that the State had raised SSH
l30 OF this apportionment. This is
extraordinary, to say the least. The
State has come so near raising the
entire apportionmcnt that credit will
doubtless be given for raising the
entire amount.

VICTIM OF LAND SWINDLERS.
Texan Was Even Told Of Book and
Page of Supposed Record

Richmond, Va, Aug. 49,. IS. A. Bo-
zell, Of Orange, Texas, is the latest
victim of fraudulent sales OF bogus
Virginia mineral lands. fiji
In a letter received by Register of
the Land Office John W. Richardson.
Bozell tells how he and his partner,
who has just died, are the possessors
o. a deed to large tract of land in
Buchanan county, Virginia, claimed
to date back to grant from the Com
monwealth to George Wythe, or
Wyeth, on May 10, 1888, for 100000
acres.
The writer even gives the book and
page in the Land Office in which the
grant is supposed to be on record. NO
such grant ever was made or record
ed by the State of Virginia. Swind-
lers have been selling this land Tor
many years and occasionally there
comes up a case when the identity OF
the victim is disclosed.

CHESAPEAKE .DEFENCEs.
Way to Baltimore and Washington
Lies Open to Enemy.

Fort Monroe, Va, August 49,
There have been some spectacular ma
neuvers in these waters during the
past week, consisting mostly of night
attacks on the fort by a fleet of tugs,
for the purpose of testing the utility
of the recently installed high powered
search light of the fort. These
would disclose an enemy entering the
capes, but the fort has no guns that
could stop him. Until Congress pro-
vides for Notifications at Cape Henry
the way to Baltimore and Washington
lies open, and Norfolk could be taken
by landing party
The war maneouvers in the vicinity
of New York are very interesting and
spectacular and they have probably
been of, very positive value to the
regular and volunteer forces in work
ing, out problems involved in the tech
nical repelling of an invading force
It is all very we'll to have those ma
neuvers near Now York, for the de-
tense of that city would of course be
one of the greatest responsibilities de-
volving upon American arms in time
of war, but there is no denying the
fact that the defense of the Chesa'
peake is matter of just as great I'M
portance, in a way, involving, as II
does, the safety Of the National Capt.
tai itself and of the great city OF Bal
timore, the Hampton Roads region
embracing the two most important
shipbuilding plants in the United
States and the haven OF refuge for
our fleets, the cities of Portsmouth
