Commits Suicide,

Mr.. J. Henry King, a farmer living
near Hills X Roads, committed sui.
eide Thursday morning of last week
by shooting himself through the
head with q pistol. Mr.. King was
IN the yard talking with his wife
Just few moments before the rash
act was committed, and nothing un-
usual was noticed about his manner.
Leaving his wife, he went Into the
the house and very soon she heard
the report OF a pistol, and she rushed
in to find herr husband unconcious
and he died in a few moments ieav-
Ing nothing to throw light on the
question as to why he took his own
life. His family think that bal
health was the cause.
We have known Henry King for
more than rs years, and he has
always been spoken of as an honest,
hardworking man. He was reared
III the we-tern part of the county
in the Essex nejghborhood. For
several years he worked with the
county chain gang as guard. Mr..
King was married to Miss Dickens
about two years ago and since that
line had been farming.

When public official gets an
eek" in front of his title he i'm
mediately drops about 'steen hun
dred pegs in influence and that's
the reason a man with an eek"
is always trying to get rid of it.
The most interesting eek" in
America today is Theodore
Roosevelt. He doess't cotton to
the idea of an ex-president living
on memories. He proposes to
stay in the game.
Roosevelt is not offering any
thing original in this Other ex-
presidents have staid in the game.
Jefferson, although he never
sought office after he retired as
president (18O8), never quit the
political game until he died in
1926 at the age of SO. He estab-
lished himself at his home at
Monticello, Va, and ran the gov
eminent by wireless, electing
Madison and Monroe as his sue
-cessors and maintaining at Mon
ticello a Mecca for the brains of
the period.
One of the most active expires
idents was John Quincy Adams,
who left the white house in 1924,
returned to Massachusetts,, had
himself elected to congress in
1880 and stayed there, where he
was hot fighter, known as "old
man eloquent" until he died in
1913,

Jackson's ex-presidency was
much like Jefferson's. He retir-
ed to The Hermitage" near
Nashville, Tenn, in 1886, but ran
the Democratic party by long
distance for nearly 20 years.
Elected as Jackson's man Fri
day, Martin Van Buren, developed :
an individuality of his own. When
he was beaten for reelection in
1910, by Gen. Harrison he kept
right on playing the game. He
tried to get the nomination in
1874, but failed and helped or
ganize the free soil party, which
was opposed to slavery.
He was its candidate for presi-
dent in 1848, but didn't carry
state. Then he retired to Kin
derhook, N. Y, and was Demo-
cratic boss of New York until he
died, in 1862.
John Tyler didn't quit politics
when he went out of office. He
lived in Virginia and was presi-
dent of the peace conference of
1861, when the northern and
southern states tried to head off
the war. Then he was elected to
the confederate congress, but died
before taking office.

POLICE To URGE
s SUB-STAT|ONS
Chief Beavers Declares They
Are the Greatest Need of the
DeEaTtment.

Three police sub stations for Atlanta
are expected to materiaize following
the visit of Chief Beavers to- the con
vention of the international Associa-
ton of Police Chiefs in Toronto in July
Chief Beavers declares that sub sta
lions are the present greatest need of
the police department. and one of the
main objects of his trip is to make
careful study of the system of sub sta
tons in operation in the big cities of
the North and East On his return
the chief will be fully equipped with all
essential information and win present
the matter to the police commission
for definite action. The commissioners
are known to favor sub -stations, as
means of increasing the efficiency of
the police service. and there is no doubt
they will ask the city council to au-
thorize three stations.
Chief Beavers has had the plan of
sub-stations under advisement for some
time and SAYS their need Is imperative
to insure better and more up-to-date
police service. He will make thor
ough inspection of the sub-stations in
New York Toronto and other cities
with the view of combining the best
features of the various systems.
Under the plan of Chief Beavers, one
of the sub stations viii be situated in
lower Marietta street, one in Peters
street and one on the north side The
central station in Decatur street will
remain as headquarters for both po-
licenen and detectives, prisoners being
transferred there from the sub-stations
in time for their trial in police court
In cases of emergency calls, officers
could reach the scene of trouble much
quicker from nearby sub-station thar
from the central station
Officers now frequently have to make
dashes to Fort MCPHERSON, the farther
most corners of the Ninth ward. and
other long distances

5 RUNAWAY BOYS,
SCARED, RETURN
Lads Who Fled Orphan Home
Are Frightened by Strange
"NoiseS in Woods"

TIE Ave lads who ran away from the
Southern Be ptist home. a. Hapeville, last
evening. changed their minds about the
JOY of a rowing life as soon as it grew
very dark and hurried back to the shell
ter of the institution before midnight.
Cornell Lockhart. the nineyear old lad
who led the fugitive expedition told the
superintendent that he'd never run away
anywhere again, and never wanted to
read any more books of adventure, for
he said that the noises he and his com
panions heard in the woods less than q
mile away from the home were too fright
full for any boy to stand
Clee Hit, eleven, Julian Ayers, eleven
Cicero Pratt, eight. and Robert Farrow,
twelve, the four other juvenile adven-
turers who followed young Lockhart on
the tramp. agreed with him fervently
about the terrible things in the woods
at night and the superintendent says he
has no fear of another fight by the same
daring band
The superintendent this morning called
off the police who were hunting high and
low for the little fugitives He explained
also that the lads had not taken the horse
and wagon as was at first supposed.
