PIRATE TREASURE NOT FOUND
WeILFurnIshsd Expedition Returns
Without the Riches Il Had Been
In -eearch OF.

The treasure-hunting party from
Plymouth, England, which has been
searching Cocos island in the Pacific
for treasure supposed to have been
buried there by pirates many years
ago. has arrived at Panama on board
the steamer Melmore without the
hoped for pirate spoils. The Melmore
sailed from Barry in September last.
carrying in addition to the officers
and crew, two London ladies' and
three gentlemen financially Interested
in venture which was fondly hoped
to return 100 per cent. profit.
Two other unsuccessful attempts to
locate the buried gold and Jewels Of
the buccaneers made by Earl Fitz-
william and Mr. Harold Gray did not
diminish the faith Of the members Of
the Melmore expedition. who declared
they had specific information Of the
exact position of the accumulated
hoard.
One treasure was actually brought
from Lima in 1920, consisting of gold
bullion and articles to the value of
about $25.O00. 900, and the other treas
ure, which is placed at an even high
er figure, was taken to .Cocos island
by the famous pirate Bonito. Despite
the care with which the Melmore was
fitted out-the expedition was esti-
mated to cost $500. .000-the search ap-
pears to have been fruitless.

Indian Summer

From the Indianapolis News.
Indian summer wakens the day
with her wind song in the trees, the
trees that are trying to hide their
nakedness in scarlet and gold. She
deepens the color of the sky to the
deep blue of midsummer and then
softens her morning song to a lullaby
so sweet that the earth and clouds
dream that she has come back to
stay. Those drifting clouds, however,
are not summer clouds. They are
white, but they have caught the light
of the gold of the fallen leaves and
the pink of the faded roses, and close
to the horizon they meet the mist and
the gray of winter.
Indian summer scatters the leaves
and shows that the grass is still
green. She pretends that the golden
rod belongs to her. Here and there
she persuades the violets to bloom
again, and she coaxes tAe birds to
stay and play with her. The sun
loves summer and appreciates her
brave little farewell display. There
is sunshine all the day and the stars
are no less kind than the sun, for
the splendors of the day are reflected
in their light.

Call Off the War Dogs.

The dove of peace is said to. be
lowering over England and Germany,
cooling for an amiable understanding
between those two great rival sea
powers of Europe,
What could not be brought about
by men idealists with their vision of
universal peace and disarming of the
nations is coming to pass by reason
of money expenditures. When war
hits a nations pocketbook it hits
a sensitive spot, and the pocketbook
of Germany has been hit hard lately.
Until the collapse of the Turk be-
fore the Balkan alliance and the re-
making of the map of Europe Ger
mans would hear of nothing savoring
of Limitation of their naval arma-
ments by agreement with England.
But the stupendous change in the
balance of military power in the
heart of the continent has compelled
Germany 10 make colossal new sacri-
fees on the increase of her army.
The nation is about be to burdened
with another $25O,OOO,O0O for the
purpose. That means retrenchment,
radical and immediate, in other di-
rections, for rich and prosperous as
Germany is there are limits even to
her capabilities, if not to the patience
of her taxpayers. The moment is
PSYCHOLOGICAL one for Britain to press
on Germany with renewed vigor the
demand for a cessation of the naval
race which is sapping the economic
energies of both peoples.
This is how it comes about that ar
armed truce is about to be declared
between George and Wilhelm calling
for a cessation of building of nava
armament, according to the tone o
the foreign press. 1t is always mon
ey that makes or prevents war.

A Remarkable Sacrifice
From the Savannah Press.


Reed b. Freeman of Binghamton,
n. Y, has just given away fortune
of 100000 and at the age of six
ty-six has started out to make his
own living. He is even with the
world, and has a clear conscience,
which tells him that he has done the
right thing.
Mr.. Freeman was the proprietor of
the clothing factory which was re-
Gently burned in Binghamton and in
which thirty girl operatives lost their
lives. He has divided his fortune
among the families of the victims of
the fire, paid his debts and having
made himself practically a pauper
has started out to make his living
again.
When the factory burned it was
netting Mr.. Freeman 100000 a
year. His fortune was growing all
the time and he was worth $1,000
600. His factory was destroyed and
thirty girls in his employ lost their
lives. Mr.. Freeman did not shirk
responsibility or through legal
means attempt to keep from paying
out any of his fortune to those who
were dependent upon the factory en-
pIoyes.
A few days after the fire he took
an invoice of everything he owned.
He called for bills from all merchants
and business houses and banks to
whom he was indebted. Then he be-
gan the forced sale of all property,
even his home, and began to pay
debts. Business houses and banks
hurry, to take his time and that his
credit was good for any further adj
vances. But he paid everything. He
personally called upon the families
of the girls who lost their lives. Many
absolved him from any blame, but
his resolution was firm, and what
was left of his fortune after paying
the debts went to the relief of those
families that had suffered because of
the fire.
Discussing the methods adopted by
him in doing his share toward undo
ing the great calamity that had be-
fallen those who sacrificed their
lives in the factory fire Mr.. Freeman
is quoted as saying:
81 haven't a dollar today, but I
have lots of good friends. Tomor-
row l start out as a clothing sales
man in New York city, and with
my first commissions l will send
to Binghamton for my wife and
daughter, who is nine years old
| When l signed a check yesterday
for payment of the last claim
/ against me there was a wonderful
feeling of relief All that is past
now. There is a clean slate and l
start out as a new man. My sixty
years will be no handicap to me.

PONIEGRANITES FOR MARKET.

From the Triton Gazette.
A farmer named Putnam in Schley
county is said to have fifteen acres
in pomegranites, which yield him
more net cash than any other part Of
his farm. 1t is one of the queer things
we occasionally meet with that pome-
GRANTEES are not more extensively
grown for commercial purposes in
South Georgia. The fruit is delicious,
will keep for months, and the crop
was never known to be a total fail
ure. Besides being of delicate flavor
the fruit is an astringent and valua-
BILE in bowel troubles; the hulls make
a fine dye and would doubtless be of
great commercial value if generally
known. Quite a number of pome-
GRANTEES are brought to the Triton
market and find ready sale. The
bush is very ornamental and adds to
the attractiveness of any shrubbery
