Fish DynamiterS Arrested

Last Wednesday Fred Keith
and Worthy Clovis. a couple of
Gilmer county boys, came over
into Lee district. this county,
with a few sticks of dynamite
and went down the creek near
the residence of George Mccoy at
Altizer, and proceeded to try, in
this unprincipled manner. to get
some fish. James Kerby had
noticed the dynamiters and he
with some companions followed
the pair up in time to see them
light the fuse to fire the dyna-
mite. They Immediately went
before Justice T. j. Starcher and
swore out warrants for their ar
rest. The dynamiters, each,
gave bond of $500 and were
bound over to await actionNof the
grand jury.

Effects of Titanic Disaster

The effects of the Titanic dis
aster are shown by a writer in
the New York World in this
way: Near the first anniversary
of the sinking of the Titanic are
two events strongly effective of
the influence of that memorable
disaster for great safety in ocean
travel. The huge Vaterland,
launched recently at Hamburg,
will carry eighty-three lifeboats,
and seventy of these can be
launched from either side of the
ship and can accommodate the
whole capacity of the vessel in
human freight. No list of the
ship can put out of commission
half the boats. The reconstruct.
ed Olympic starts on its first voy.
age with an outer shell to take
the force and damage of such q
glancing blow as wrecked the
Titanic and leave an inner shell
to keep it afoat. 1t was held un.
sinkable before this reconstruc-
ton. 1t is now called unsinka-
bic, but carries more than double
it's old number of lifeboats in de.
fence to the truth of bitter expe.
rience as against the claims ol
marine architects. So passes the
modern myth of the sea. There
is no such thing as an unsuitable
ship. But at what cost to human
life has the illusion been shatter.

Henry M. Flagler. aged SO, died
here today. He built the Florada

rected the Ponce De Leon and
Aleazer Hotels at a cost of

His greatest achievement was
the extension of his railroad
from Mama to Key West. For
many years his plan was ridi-
culed as impracticable and was
called "Flagler's folly" The
opening of this overseas" line
is regarded as one of the engin-
eering triumphs of the age.
Though he was worth S1OO,

yacht. M. Flagler never visited
Europe, nor had he ever been
as far west as the Rocky Noun

Washington, May 20. Repre-

house to day a bill providing the
installation of one-cent letter post
age on July 1, 1914. He will try
to have the bill acted on at this
session of Congress.
Rouse stated that statistics
compiled recently show the re-
ceipts from letter postage to be
growing rapidly. He believes
the reduction of the rate on first
class matter would be such ar
incentive to an increase in bus
mess that the department would
be self supporting. The Postof
fee committee of the House has
not yet been organized.
