TRACE ALPHABET FAR BACK
Belief That 1t Had It's Origin With
 ;thA Phoen!cians Proved to Be sg,, Hss'i i|; iSs,a Wrong One. X :! 3f;:,i;ss

s;Iu a lecture, at the Royal institute Prof. Flinders }Pietrie, atthcked the long adepted theory that. the originsof tic. a}pNabAts is to be found ill, Ptioetrt Ss s3as " ans saHns ff9A sshgYRet1sn ssAec61ai:.gsNp Prof essors Rsetrie. the res .fcnes'f oF the ' last twehtys years h+ve shown that signs were earlier than pictures and that it was the sign that survived to become the alpha and beta, of one civilization and the A B c of another.
 Just as the philologist had discov- cred one entire system of languages, so the alphabetarian had discovered in the diversity of alphabets an orig. inal prototype of ali. In Professor Petrie's words, "The Phoenicians are people of yesterday compared with those who wrote the signs that are the origin of all alphabets."
 It was to pottery. said the profess BOT, that Psychologists and others were indebted for these signs, and their development was worked out on these lines. Flatnose made pot and !
 put mark on it to show that it was his. In time. because it was his mark. the sign stood for Flatnose himself and then the sign became attached to sound irrespective of the thing it. self. Gradually the wearing down went on until the sign stood, not for a sound, but a syllable, and then for letter.
 The signs, of course, were not an alphabet; thA did not arrive until perhaps 1000 R. C., whereas signs were found in early prehistoric Egypt. probably 1000 B. c. Proofs of this common origin were plentiful, for the signs spread by trade far north and south, and appeared similarly in Runic, Iberian and Karian, and yet were unknown. in Phoenician.

ADDED TO THE GOOD TIME
Bear Story, Though Short, Was a Thing of Consequence to Those
 Silent Mountaineers.

There were six stalwart pioneers who settled in Upshur county, West Virginia, long before the war, when there wasn't "a stick amiss" and hunting was good. They were brothers and their name was Phillips.
 Each fall after hog.killing time they held a family reunion, at which a feast fit for the gods was partaken of in silence, except for the blessing, which was always asked by the eld- est brother. They did not believe in much talk or levity. When they spoke 1t was usually in monosyllables. After dinner they would sit around the big slog fireplace, tilted back in split bot. tom chairs, and smoke their corncOb pipes in silence until it was time to go home and do the chores.
 At one of the reunions something of unusual interest occurred-one of the boys told bear story. While sitting around the fire smoking one of the brothers pushed up his sleeve. exposing a badly lacerated arm. The five gazed at it in respectful silence
 
 in the mountains told them that their brother had hand to hand fight with bear. One of them opened the ensuing dialogue with:
 "Um-mph-bar?"
 "Yca-ah."
 "Whar?"
 lover thar" jerking his thumb back over his shoulder in the direc- ton of Beech mountain.
 After this bear story of five words they smoked in silence until 1t was time to go home. For months after that reunion they would remark to visiting neighbors that they had "a powerful fine time at Eben's re. union.'
 It was remarkable, because they had had bear story in addition to the blessing, which was a powerful lot of talk for these silent men.

The regarding and repaving of
Whitehall street between Mitchell and
Trinity avenue involving the eSpend-
iture of approximately $4,000, was
held up Wednesday morning following
the filing of a sensational petition for
injunction by w. L. Kelley, proprie-
tor Of the Cash Grocery Company at
No. 119 Whitehall street.
Judge Bell issued an order restrain
ing the city and county from pro
ceeding with the work pending d
hearing next Saturday.
Mr.. Kelley makes charges that the
city officials deliberately framed u
resolution ordering the work which Il
INTENDED TO deceive the taxpayers
and which is "a fraud and a device
practiced upon taxpayers wherein the
city of Atlanta is illegally borrowing
said money"
The County Commits sioners. he also
charges. are threatening TO use funds
of Fulton County. which are levied for
other purposes. in furthering and car
rying uut the illegal contract.
According TO the petition, the reSO-
luton adopted by the city and con
CURED in by the county authorities,
provided tmat the property owners
should pay into the city treasury the
sum of $77S779 which is the differ
cree between the estimated cost and
the apportiOnment, and that this has
never been paid, and further that IL
IL not a payment but a loan, which is
neld to be Illegal on the grounds that
The City Of Atlanta is without au-
tLority to contract such a debt.
THE resolution is 50 framed" the
petitioner saye and the silence is 50
acute in said resolution with refer

thorities, and for this reason the I'M
founded rumor gained circulation at
McDonough that he had discovered
traces Of poison, a report which the
official announcement discredited en-
tirely.
The early completion OF the tests
made the outlook favorable for DIR
Barron. 1t was urged by the loyal
friends who are standing by the &C
cused man that if the presence Of
some alkaloidal poison had been dis
covered by DIR. Everhart Tuesday it
probably would nave required him
considerably longer to determine just
which Of the alkaloids il was. Be
cause DR. Everhart finished so early
in the day, his friends believed no
poison of any kind had been found.
A report emanated in McDOnOugh.
however, that Dr. EVerhart had dis
covered poison, and the excitement
there was intense. The alleged muir
der was the topic on every tongue.
At Miner a crowd stormed the Cen
tral of Georgia train Tuesday night
and bought up every copy of The
Georgian to be had Many were IN
able to get papers. so great was the
demand. The situation was the same
at Griffin and MCDOnough.
A tense feeling of suppressed ex-
element was manifest on every hand
in anticipation uf the report Specu-
ulation as to the contents of the re-
port could be heard wherever two
people met. II was the sole topic A
crowd assembled about the pOstoftiCe
in Miner last night when DR. Huck-
ably, to whom the report is to be sent
called tor his mail, and disappOint-
ment was seen when the package
failed to arrive.
w. R. S. Mann, father of the dead
Mrs Barron, authorized this state
ment.
Il heartily appreciate the interest
of The Georgian in this investiga-
ton. / believe this is the sentiment Of
everyone in Miner The Georgian
has brought out the facts. Ii is the
only paper that has published the real
news. I feel that The Georgian, by
reason of its search after the truth, is
a wonderful aid to justice"

The campaign has now progressed
far enough to enable the Democratic
voters TO know the methods that are
being exploited by the Wall street
crowd to capture the Baltimore con-
vention. Mr.. Harmon and Mr.. I'm

dates.
Mr. Harmon was picked out first,
but the big business began to smile
on MIR. Underwood as soon as it be
came evident that Mr.. Harmon was
not making Roadway as a candidate.
They have now divided up the terri
tory in which they think a reaction
airy has a chance, and Mr. Harmon is
running in a few States in the North
and Mr.. Underwood in six States in
the South.
