"RATTLESAKE" $50 BILL.
A Piece of Georgia Currency That
Was Issued in 1878.
A copy of a $40 bill of the ''rattl,

A copy of a $40 bill of the rattle
snake" issue of 177S was found a
few days ago in the home of Mrs. T.
A. Pratt in Savannah. She found
the bill in a very old book she got
at book store.
The bill belongs to an issue that
was authorized by the legislature of
Georgia May 4, 1878. 1t was class
of legal tender at that time that was
of more value than the money that
had been previously issued. 1t has
been designated the 'rattIesnake"
issue because a picture of a RATHER
was carved in the lower right hand
corner on the face of the bill.
The currency was printed in Sa-
vannah by w. Lancaster in 177S. 1t
does not resemble the crisp bills
which are in circulation today.

FINDS BABE THOUGHT DEAD
Nurse Mixed Up Infants at Hospital,
and Mother Discovers Mistake
-Four Years Later.

BRIDGETOWN, N. J.-Mrs. Beat
rice Gaddis of this city has just dis
covered alive her little child whom
she thought she had buried
A little more than four years ago
Mrs. Gaddis, then a recent widow,
her husband having been killed in
the coal mines, gave birth to a
daughter in a hospital in Mauch
Chunk, Pa The infant was feeble
and was retained at the hospital
when Mrs. Gaddis left. At the same
time another woman gave birth to a
child there. This child died while
the mother was delirious.
The nurse, knowing the condition
of both women, the one a poor wild
ow with other children, the other a
woman of means with no children,
changed the babies and sent word to
Mrs. Gaddis that her child had died.
Mrs. Gaddis had the child buried.
A few days ago Mrs. Gaddis, now
living here, was called to Maunch
Chunk. There she learned that her
daughter of four years is living. The
nurse on her deathbed had sent for
both mothers, to whom she told the

he found only registered mail, the
express money being left in another
car He abandoned the robbery.
A Price on His Head.
However, the big rewards were
still in effect and the Canadian con-
stabulary took up the trail and
rounded up Bill Miner and his two
partners, and they were given life
sentences in the New Westminster
penitentiary in British Columbia.
But Old Bill kept up his spirit,
and August 8, 1907, he dug his way
under the prison walls to liberty and
travelled to the middle west unharm-
ed. For a period he was quiet, with
plenty to live on, but after his hoard
was used up wintering in the South
he started North and an opportune
time seemed to present itself on Feb
ruary 81, 1909, when he found two
uovices in Gainesville Ga, and robb-
q! the Southern Express train. But
he was captured and sent to the state
penitentiary at Milledgev:..e under
q 20-year sentence.
Grizzled, old and gray, he was
still undaunted and declared he
would escape, and this he did on two
occasions, with which the public is
familiar.

100000 CONSCIENCE MONEY
UNCLE SAM HAS RECEIVED
THAT AMOUNT SINCE 1911.
Transgressions of Penitent Contrib
utOrs Cover Wide Range
of LaWbreaking,

The small still voice" OF con-
science, which Shakespeare says docs
make towards of US all, has caused
penitent people throughout the Unit
ed States to turn into Uncle Sans
conscience fund" the sum of nearly
half a million dollars since 1911,
when the first contribution was re-
ceiveG. The transgressi2n of these
contributors cover a wide range Of
law breaking. There is also a great
variety in the amounts of the sums
contributed, ranging from two cents
to cover the cost of a postage stamp
filched from the government to more
than $1S,600 stolen by evading Gus
toms duties.
Most of the persons who send
money to this fund try to keep their
identity a secret. Some of them dis
guise their handwriting or purposely
misspell words All these precau-
lions are unnecessary, however, for
the treasury officials hold all such
communications confidential; in fact,
| it is the one department of the gov
eminent where wrongdoers may con-
TESS and make restitution without
/ fear of prosecution.
Some odd Offenses are confessed
to in the letters accompanying these
contributions. One man in Chicago
| sent in 81 with the statement that
he had a small apple tree from the
government orchard at Fort Sherl-
dan some years before and that ne
now wanted to make restitution. An
other dollar came from a penitent in
the West, who confessed to having
stolen two sheets and a pillow case
from an Indian school,
One contributor to this fund found
that he had made his mistake in MS
reckoning, and in a subsequent let
fer asked that the mistake be rectl-
fed. 1t seems that this man mad
brought a ring from Paris and be-
| Il6NGd IL 20 NC NCiS NoANN"SAS'
he arrived in port in this country ne
placed on it a valuation that he was
sure was much below the actual val
ne in order to escape payment OF a
high duty.
Later his conscience troubled MIN
| so much that he felt compelled 10
make restitution and sent $39.20 TO
the conscience fund" Some time
afterward he took the ring to jew
eler. who told him the pearl IN II
was an imitation and that the ring
was really worth less than $59'Zo'
So he is now trying to have the
amount he contributed to the con-
science fund returned to him, claim
ing that the government really cheat
ed him in accepting his valuation
A separate account is kept out
the money is placed in the govern
ment vaults and becomes a part OF
! the nations funds.

UNMARRIED BIRDMEN WANTED.
Nobody Seems to Hanker for Vacan-
cies in Army Aviation Corps.

Scarcity of army officers volun-
teering for the aviation corps has
called out an appeal from Brigadier
General Geo. H. Scriven, chief sig
nal officer.
The announcement that France
was about to recruit its aerial squad
rons on an unusually extensive scale
gave an added impetus to the decis-
ion to strengthen the United States
army's force in this direction. At
present there are ten vacancies in
the squad with no recruits in sight
General Scriven says frankly in
his appeal that while married men
are not barred from this branch of
the service bachelors not over 30
years of age are preferred.

Mr.. Marshall was the principal
speaker today at the camp meeting
of the Methodist Episcopal church,

mented the fact that the church of
today was losing its hold upon the
people. There is an intimate rela-

GREAT WAVE OF PATRIOTISM
Is SWEEPING MEXICO AND COUN-
TRY Is RUSHING TO ARMS.
Thousands of All Ages Offer Services
and Display of Military Strength
Is Planned for Sept. 10Th.


MEXICO CITY.-A wave of patri-
otism appears to be sweeping over
Mexico and from many states and
from all classes it is announced that
assurances OF allegiance and offers
of service are being received daily
! by President Huerta and his minister
of war.
Plans are being made for large
display of military strength on Sept.
16, independence day. 1t is proposed
to hold a big parade in the capital
in which 10000 are expected to
march.
The war department has been call
ed upon to furnish military instruc-
tors to a dozen cities, where the fear
of being impressed for service
against the revolutionists has given
away before a later patriotic order.
Thousands of all ages are asking to
be drilled in the use of arms.
Nor is the aid afforded the govern
ment confined to offers to serve in
the ranks. A delegation of planters
from the state of Morelos has waited
upon the president and rendered a
subscription of 100000 pesos.
Ministers Gamboa and Urrutia OF
foreign affairs and the interior re-
spectively, today issued denials of
the declaration from the war depart
ment concerning the shifting of army
division headquarters from interior
points to the coasts and frontier 1t
ia now explained that if these shifts
are made it will be solely for the
purpose of guarding against rebel
operations.
In addition to the students of the
preparatory schools, where military
! instruction has been enforced for
some weeks, the manual of arms is
being taught workmen who are at
tending night schools and the en-
ployes of the tax department.
The newspapers continue to de-
vote themselves editorially to the
subject of the late diplomatic ex'
changes, dwelling upon the alleged
sympathy and encouragement Next
co is receiving from the press OF
France, Germany and Great Britain
Followers of Gen. Felix Diaz ex-
pect him to return to Mexico City
not later than Oct. to push his
campaign for the presidency. Senol
Gamboa said today that no further
instructions regarding the japanese
mission, to which General Diaz was
appointed, would be issued by his de-
Ipartment until after November, the
month in which the elections are tC
be held.
The excitement among American
residents over President Wilson's
warning subsidized to a large degree
over Sunday. A limited number o.
persons left on trains to Vera Cruz
today. Consul General Shanklir
spent most of the day in his Offices
but received fewer visits than OF
previous days. The opinion is grow
ing that the warning, so far as re
CARDS the large centers, will not BIZ

SALIVA, Kan.-The National
Farmers Union, in session here, de-
clared Thursday in favor of 15-cent
cotton, pledging its two million
members to hold their cotton for this
figure, claiming that this price is
necessary in order to give the farm
er a profit over the cost of produc-
ton.
This price is in line with the fig
ure fixed by the Southern States Cot

operated throughout the South with

SHERBROOKE IS WITH 1HAW
BUT FEW IN THE CANADA TOWN
WANT TO SEE HIM DEPORTED.
Strings to Wallets Which Contain
Thaw Millions LOOsened, and
Stream of Gold Pours Out.


SAVANNAH, Ga.-Direct from
the little border town of SherbrOoke,
Canada, where Harry Thaw, escaped
slayer of Stanford White, from Mat
teawan asylum, is fighting so siren
uously for his liberty, through OPP
position to being deported as an un-
desirable, a we'll known young lady
of Savannah, who has just returned
from the scene of the sensational le-
gal battle, tells an interesting story
of the tactics of the lawyers who are
defending Thaw, and of the state of
intense excitement which prevails up
there.
Strings to the wallets which con-
tain the Thaw millions have been
loosened, she says, and from the
openings is pouring steady stream
of gold. No expense, she states, is
spared in the latest and most sensa-
tional of all of Thaw's attempts to
regain his freedom after having been
committed to Matteawan as Grim
inally insanse, following his acquit-
tai of the charge of numbering Stan
ford White.

Bound to Hold Cotton.

The action of the convention binds
every member of the union to hold
his cotton until the market reaches
the figures set. Although in the past
repeated efforts have been made to
have a similar resolution passed by
the convention the advocates of the
proposal always failed to muster the
necessary votes This year there was
no opposition to the plan.
There are nearly two million men,
bers of the union who are cotton
growers and leaders in the move
ment say their neighbors who are
not members of the organization will
join in holding the crop until it can
be marketed at Is cents a pound.
The minimum price at which cot
ton seed will be sold was fixed at
$50 ton, and members pledged to
hold out for that figure.

Money Is Everywhere.

Thaw money is everywhere. The
whole place of Sherbrooke seems to
have been bought, practically, by the
Thaw lawyers. For two or three
days on a stretch all telegraph and
telephone lines and branches were
leased outright by the Thaw attor-
neys. And while this state of affairs
prevailed few other messages could
be sent or received by means of tele-
graph or long distance telephone.
The attorneys who are seeking to
have Thaw deported to the United
States, particularly William Travers
Jerome, chief counsel for the state
of New York, are anything but pop
ular in Sherbrooke. There is hardly
a resident of the little border city
who is not openly and avowedly on
Thaw's side and working in every
way possible for his success in the
court fight which is being waged.
II public sentiment has anything
to do with the case, she says, Harry
Thaw will never be deported.
