Susie May Burgess Predicts catalep-
eti Attacks and Predicts
Strange Cure.

ATHENS, June 21-The people Of
Athens and of the sections Of the
State around Greene and Oconee
Counties are intensely excited over the
unusual and uncanny actions and
revelations Of Susie May Burgess, IA
year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
T. Burgess, residing near Farming
ton, Oconee County.
Some time ago the girl became af-
fected with something like cataleptic
attacks, which render her practically
unconscious and cause her body to
become entirely rigid. Strange as ii
may seem. she predicts days ahead
when she will be attacked, and so far
her predictions have been fulfilled.
This caused no unusual excitement
but when a week ago the girl com

that the family physician went to the

still, It glowed with a brighter hue

It was there, as the rocks and ground
around the grave had not been broken

Barrow County Gets
Support From Athens
Representatives Rhodes and Lip

In Legislative Fight.

ATHENS, June 2l.--The fight that
is to be waged by the inhabitants Of
wlnder and that vicinity for the crea-
ton Of new county named Barrow,
with Winder as its capital, Is being
felt here and both sides have been
active I'm soliciting the support Of the
Clark County Representatives.
Representative Frank Rhodes al
ready has come out publicly in favor
of the new county, and 1t is under
stood that Representative Lipscomb
will not oppose the measure. one Of
the local papers has given the new
county It's support editorially and is
being thanked and praised on the one
hand and abused on the other by
those opposed to the new county.
The general opinion. however, is
that the claim of the Winder people
is a just one, and that Barrow Coun-
ty should be given the most serious
consideration by the Legislature.

Work Going Forward

The extension of the main shaft
of the Consolidated mine is down
over fifty feet and the hundred foot
level will be reached before Christ
mas. When this is done, two more
levels will be opened up, making
five levels in all and at least fifty
men can be worked on each level.
The old shaft on the east ex-
tension, put down many years ago,
has been cleared out and the com
pany expect to be hosting ore from
it in few days. The Consolidated
company have now shown up high
grade ore about mile and three
quarters in length which makes, by
far, the largest individual mine on
the range. A crew of ffty-one
men are employed there.
The side vein on the North
American has shown up very nice
body of ore, but little attention was
given to this on the start as it was
only about an inch wide and they
thought it would cut out in a short
distance. However, it proved to
the contrary and every blast made
it wider, and in distance of forty
feet it has widened out to twelve
feet and has every indication OF
continuing to do so for a consider
able distance yet. A crew of forty
men are employed on this pro-
perty.- Skillings News Letter.

the common. Shipments this year
are likely to exceed $4,000, 900
tons. This shows how lower
prices, higher wages, and increased
operating costs in general, have
affected the income of United States
Steel.
Should United States Steel ship
100000 tons this year, and pro-
fits aggregate S147 100000, the
ratio of profit per ton of steel ship
ped would be Stl.15. comparing
with $S.65 in 1912, and $11 in
1911.
The profit per ton in 1907 was
$15.24, and in 1908 $14.SO, not
withstanding that in the latter year
shipments were only 6,2O7, 900
tons. This gives one good idea
of the downward tendency of earn
ings per ton of steel produced. "

TUBERCULOSIS SEALS
Supply Of the Christmas Seals Now
ON Hand

The Minnesota Association for
the Prevention & Relief of Tuber-
culosis takes great pleasure in an
nouncing to the public thru these
columns the opening of the Red
Cross Christmas Seal campaign for
1913. Practically every commun-
ity which has heretofore shown in
terest in this great work is again
enlisted in the cause we believe
with renewed vigor. Also several
communities which have not in the
past been included in this work
have realized the great Importance
of this movement and have re-
quested the State Association for
Red Cross Seals.
The people of Minnesota can at
last point with pride to definite
results obtained from their former
labors. They now have the use OF
one half million dollars which was
appropriated by the recent legisla-
ture to enable them to provide
county institutions for the care of
those suffering from tuberculosis.
1t should be of great satisfaction to
those who have labored so consis-
tently in the former years and it is
the earnest request of this Associa-
ton that these workers take renew
edInterest in this educational cam
paign which is now going on
throughout the state, which will
mean the pointing out OF local
needs in each county in reference
ito the establishment of hospitals
for the tubercular. The state
legislature has done its part freely
and we'll and it now rests largely
upon the energetic work by those
who have local influence to show to
the county officials the needs of
those suffering from tuberculosis
under their jurisdiction. Great
encouragement has already been
given you by the rapidity with
which the counties have taken
definite action in regard to insti-
tutions up to the present time.
1t is a pleasure to report appro-
priations made by IS counties for
the establishment of hospitals
for these sufferers. In view of
what has already been done so sue
cessf1lly and the ease with which
more can be accomplished in every
community, we earnestly request
not only those who have in the
past shown interest, but those who
have perhaps felt it was useless to
devote time and energy to again
enter this great educational work
which is including the entire state.
Let us show by the success of this
years Red Cross Seal sales we dc
appreciate the appropriation made
by the legislature and show that
each community is willing and
ready to do its part.
The seals will be handled in Ely
! by DR.. Parker as agent and it is to
be hoped that their use will become
general as every cent spent for a
seal goes to help a good work.

Steel Earnings

Net earnings of the United States
Steel corporation for 1918 are ex-
