CHURCH ROBBER
IS FIANCE Of
RICH WIDOW
Dashing Young Thief Won Heart
of $4,000 Heiress by Cor
reSpondence.

Investigation Saturday by Chief Of
Detectives Lanford into the career Of
Charles Stewart MeIlin, the dapper
young man from New York and Mil
Waukee who confessed that he robbed
five Atlanta churches because "he
was up against 1t and needed the
money" brought forth information
that he was planning to we'd a $3.50, -
900 widow" at the time Of his arrest
Chief Lanford believes MelIin
turned burglar to get funds With
which 20 go 10 San Francisco anu
carry out his matrimonial plans.
Mellin viii make no statement, fur
ther than 10 reiterate his declaration
that he simply needed money"
Chief LanfOrd examined Mellin's
suit case Saturday and found batch
OF correspondence with the Mission
Unity Correspondence Club, No. 1851
Twenty fourth street, San Francisco,
through which the marriage was be
ing arranged. Mellin, who had
been in Atlanta only week and was
stopping at No. 10 Houston street,
some time ago had filed formal appli-
cation with the Unity Club for wife,
and had been formally introduced to
the wealthy widow by mail. Her ad-
dress has not been learned by Chief
LanfUrd, but the letters indicate that
she il near San Francisco.
One letter written by Mellln, which
he had been unable to mail because
Of his arrest, explained that he was
ready and anxious to marry at once.
The description Of the beauty and tai
ents of the dashing young widow,
with the guaranteed bonus Of tho
100000 fortune, had appealed strongly
to Mellin and decided his future,
In writing for a wife Mellin had
required that she be young and pref
ty, not more than 80 years old and
that she have money. He described
himself as young and good looking, "
and said he was satisfied he would
make "a good husband" According
to the correspondenCe, the widow i'm
mediately capitulated.
Whether the arrest OF young Mellin
will break up the romantic marriage
remains to be seen. There Will, at
least, be u temporary postponement,
said Chief Lanford.
Mellin is in a Tower cell in default

noon by Recorder Broyles, Mellln
frankly admits that he stole electric

ernacle, the First Methodist Church,

Nine of those in custody were re-

STARTING A BIG HOG RANCH.
b. Nj. Aull, of AuMIn, Has Big Plans.
Will Start With 800.
(Anderson Intelligencer.)

Anderson county is to have tho
largest hog ranch in the Southeast
ern States, and plans already made
warrant the conclusion that the farm
will be operated along methods here
tofore unknown to this section Of
country. This farm is now being put
in shape by b. NJ. Aull, who lives
son, in the Autun neighborhood.
Mr.. Aull has already fenced and
cross-fenced his ranch, and is now at
work putting in various swine houses
and other swine quarters, all OF
which will be completed within
short time. He will start off Imme-
diately with about 500 hogs, all OF
imported grades, which will be bred
with well known breeds.
Mr.. Aull proposes to put one-half
his land in bermuda grass, and about
two-thirds Of the remainder Of his
land into grain, and will pasture his
hogs on the bermuda grass in the fall
and winter, and in the summer feed
the hogs on grain, and in this way
will not have to import or purchase
any feed at all for any Of his hogs,
and expects to raise the hogs at a
cost Of production under that Of the
Middle West OF at least one and one
half to three cents per pound dressed.
This development is considered
one Of the very biggest of it's kind to
occur, not only in Anderson county,
but in the entire Southeast, as 1t Is
believed to be the forerunnel' of the
creating OF a mammoth live s. .ock In
dustry in the Southeast, where it is
known that large Western packers
have, for some time, hean contem-
plating entering and rutting in pack
cries.
1t is stated on reliable information
that just AS soon as sufficient hogs
and cattle are raised in this section
