CHARGE With
PERJURY IS
ARRESTED
WAS FOUND At BAINDRIDGE
Grows Out Of Disappearance
Case of A. ]. Fem

Cordele, Dec 17.--R. H. Roberts,
charged with perjury in the disap-
pearance case of Augustus ]. Fem,
having failed to appear in the last
term of the superior court of Crisp
county to answer to the charge
against him, out of which $1,000
bond given for him was forfeited, has
been re-arrested at cambridge. The
charge against Roberts was brought
at the instance of the Southern States
Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta,
which company also sought the arrest
of J. S. Land on similar charge.
Roberts was arrested shortly after
the former wealthy Cordele lumber
man was discovered at New Orleans
He was lodged in the Crisp county
Jail and later released on bond. When
the Southern States learned that he
failed to appear for trial and he
bond had been forfeited they offered
500 for his re-arrest.
Sheriff J. H. Emanuel, of Decatur,
located him at cambridge, and yes
terday placed him under arrest. Dep
uty Sheriff Youngblood, of Crisp coun-
ty, has gone to that place to return
with the prisoner. Judge W. F. George
has now assessed the bond of Roberts
at $4,000, and it is probable that he
will not ge able to secure his release
on bond before the case comes to trial
at the February term of the court.
The whereabouts of Land is I'M
known to officers here and lawyers
interested in the case. After it was
reported that he had joined the army
and the Southern States offered 800
for his arrest nothing more has been
heard.

TEN-YEAR.OLD GIRL
DISAPPEARS At Triton
Thought to Have Boarded
Train With Boy

Triton, Dec. 17.--All Triton has
been stirred with excitement over the
strange disappearance of Ocie Davis,
the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. w. N. Davis, since yesterday. The
little girl was sent to the grocery
store and market at o'clock to get
some things for breakfast, when she
mysteriously disappeared. The anx-
ious parents waited at home for the
little one for some time and then be-
gan a thorough search.
Failing still to find their lost one,
the aid of officers was called and a
thorough search made of the city and
suburbs. At II o'clock nothing had
been heard of the lost child, and fear
ing that some grave misfortune had
befallen her, all the school boys were
excused and they assisted the anxious
parents in their search.
Shortly after noon telephone mes
sake was received that the girl board
ed the A, B. and A. early morning
train for Thomasyille in company with
a 16-year-old boy wearing a gray suit,
and that they were put off at Omega
by the conductor They walked around
the train and boarded it again The
conductor feared to put them off far
Their away from Triton and thought
that he would carry the two to Thorn
asville and turn them over to the Of
ficers. When the train reached Thom-
asville and turn them over to the off,
GERS. When the train reached Thorn
asville the two eluded the conductor
and nothing further has been heard
from them. The anxious father is now
in Thomasville assisting in the search
for his child.

TYPHOID LURKS IN WELLS.

The luIaI sections, long considered ideal so far as concerns the health of their inhabitants, have been dealt a blow by physicians investigators who maintain that two thirds of the cases of typhoiI fever in the city owe their origin to insanitary conditions in the country and to polluted water sup plies.
 Farms, which are generally remote from towns, cities, or other areas of congested population. would seem to be almost ideally situated for obtain ing pure and wholesome water. but in reality polluted water is exceedingly common on them and typhoid fever rates are usually greater in country districts than in cities Typhoid fever is now almost universally believed to be transmitted solely through drink or food taken into the stomach, and is especially liable to be communicated by polluted waters obtained from shal- low wells near spots where the dis charges Of typhoid patients have been thrown upon the ground and subse- quently carried down through the soil and to the wells. and it is doubtless
  the disease being so common in farm ing regions.
 On a great many farms the well is located at a point that may be con venient to the dwelling, without any regard fo1 the possibility of the pollu- tion of the we'll water through seepage from barn or cesspOol or through the circulation of water underground.

pav the expenses of the convention and he advised those desiring to at
 tend the festivities to buy early and avoid the rush The press was noti- fled to make early applications for reserv atHOns.
 Several large blocks of the tickets were taken at once by the admirers of the colonel but enough tickets were left, about 4OOO, which it was believed would supply the public de- mand. These were left on sale at Chicago hotels. That was more than a week ago As late as Tuesday of this week just 2O5 of them had been
 taken.
 E That night Mccormick sent out through the Associated Press another appeal to the press to apply for res ervations. The press seems to be '.apathetic, not caring continental
 what may happen at MT Roosevelt's s convention. But for the comfort of the progressives. we may say that the seeming apathy of the press and the people does not necessarily denote hostility or even coIdness toward MT. RoOse welt. It shows, rather that the impression is that the expected will happen when the Bull Mooses or the Bull Meese, (WJlichever may be right) meet in Chicago, and people do not go far to see the expected happen
 Such state progressive conventions as have been held have instructed their delegations to vote solidly for MT. Roosevelt. first. last and all the time" No dark horse has appeared above the hori zon None, so far as we have been in formed. like the scrip tural charger, snuffeth the battle from afar. In all the history of American politics. there was never anything so certain as the fact that Mr. Roosevelt will be nominated ex- cept the fact that he will later be defeated and ecEipsed.
 So. why should the people buy tickets to his convention and why should the press take them for noth- ing and then incur great expense of railroad fare and board to use them? Of course. we all have a curious but not a consuming interest in MT. Roosevelt's platform but in some way that curiosity will have early satis- faction.

WATERMELON SOCIAL
 0F M. [. BIBLE CLASS
A Measurable Event at the Home of
 pr. Wilkinson.

One of the most pleasant church and Sunday school socials and en- tertainments of the midsummer sea sen was given last night at the home of Dr. and Mrs Wilkinson, corner of West Monroe street and North First avenue.
 The spacious front yard green grass and sombre trees were beauti fully decorated with the soft and mellow light of many Chinese lan- terms while from the doors and win Gows of the big house came the Iiercing brilliancy of electric lights.
 The social was given under the auspices of the Sunday school Bible class of the First Methodist Epis- Copal church. and the friends and members of both organizations were there in good numbers.
 The meeting was called to order by the Rev. MT. Harker. pastor of the church. who made an address Of about fifteen minutes on the work and advancement of the Bible class and Sunday school work, which was followed by Dr. Wilkinson with fur ther encouraging reports.
 At the close of the doctors address the assembly listened to number of well rendered vocal and instrumental selections from a trio of ladies from the assembly. the program closing with an enioyable watermelon feast

TAX COMMISSION
 CRAMPEO QUARTERS
Not Sufficient Elbow Room for Mental
 Operations.

The office of the tax commission has been moved. It has been moved into one of the smaller committee rooms just off the legislative cham Der in which the representatives are wont to perform.
 This room, which is now occupied by three full grown men and an equal number of desks. is not large. In fact, it is just about the size of an ordinary bathroom; and when all three of the commission heaVyWelghts get to pondering the problems of state the collision of their duties ere ates q sound that is extremely an moving to the other occupants of that floor in the capitol. However. space is at a premium in the capitol ana this seems the best possible arrange ment at the present time.
 Clerk Boyce has all the better ot II. He has the entire legislative chamber to himself, though his desk has been moved as close as possible to the commissions office. so that, Tn case of an emergency. he can be halled without the use of megaphone. But the members of the commission are really to be pitied. Their quarters are so cramped that they have to go outside every time one of them wants to change his mind.

NEW YORK, July 25.-One of the unique features today of the stock market which was dull and generally uninteresting, was the fact that the General Electric, ordinarily one of the dormant issues, was, next to United States Steel the most active in the list. This was explained when it became known that the directors had declared a stock dividend of 30 per cent. It had long been believed a melon" of some sort was ripening in connection with this stock which at todays high price recorded it's best quotation since 1905
 The usual market leaders were heavy till near the close when the buying of Hill issues stimulated a demand for other standard shares, in cluding Union Pacific and United States Steel Call money, three per cent; offerings of time loans for long periods light. Bonds dull; total sales, par value, $1.464, 900. United States government bonds unchanged at call.
