Dictagraph Reed Disappears.-After
fighting six months for fame and for
tune by organizing a national detective
agency, E. S. Reed, dictagraph expert,
has disappeared from Atlanta. Behind
he leaves a trail of unpaid bills and
personal debts which caused his fur
niture and rugs in his Gambler building
office to be levied on and carried away
Monday by bailiff. Reed made his
sudden exit avowing his intention of
beginning work in other fields and re-
gaining the money lost in his venture
in Atlanta He declared that he would
repay every man to whom he owed
money and many say they believe he
will. From Nashville, Tenn, he wrote
to ]. Lee Barnes, proprietor of the Ho-
tel Majestic, saying he would remit as
soon as possible for the bill Of $S5 he
owed. Mr.. Reed had been living at
the Majestic for about four months.
Mrs. Reed, who was with him, attract
ed great attention in society. The ca
reer of Reed has been a most varied
and romantic one. From his early
youth he has done extraordinary detec-
tive work, and within the past few
years has gained a great reputation by
his work with the William ]. Burns
agency. Posing as a millionaire con-
tractor, he laid the plot that brought to
light the Atlantic City graft scandal.
BY his operation Of the dictagraph he
made exposures in the Blease investi-
cation in South Carolina that attracted
nation wide attention. 1t was just fol-
lowing this occurrence that he came to
Atlanta last July and started the es-
of his detective agency.-At-
lanta dispatch, February 4.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY I. 1881

AS to whether the state warehouse
biI, will become a law Is problematical.
In the opinion Of The Enquirer 1t Is
very doubtful as to whether the bill
would have passed either house last
year except for reasons Of political ex-
pediency, and only then with certain
of the house and senate leaders being
morally certain that the measure could
be and would be thrown out by the su-
preme court. Then again, at that time
cotton was low and now it Is bringing
a very good price. The same political
conditions do not exist now, and be-
sides the measure has been so drawn as
to meet the supreme court objections
and everybody understands now that II
the bill goes through it will really mean
business. From what the editor Of The
ENQUIRER could learn during a short
stay in Columbia, many members OF
both the house and senate are giving
the matter very careful consideration,
and as a rule there Is desire to study
the whole thing carefully. The speech
of Senator McLaurin, the leading
champion of the bill in the senate, deals
with fundamental principles rather
than details; but the objections of
those who are inclined to oppose the
bill for one reason or another, relate
principally to details. One of the main
OBJECTIONS for instance, that Is being
urged, is the alleged tax of twenty five
cents a bale for inspection, grading,
weighing, etc. This is claimed to be
an unjust imposition. On the other
hand those who are inclined to support
the measure assert that the average
middle men cost on a bale of cotton be-
tween the producer and the spinner Is
from 81 to SO bale, and the so called
tax of twenty five cents bale Is in
tended incidentally to reduce this cost
80 as to save larger proportion OF
that sum for the producer; but actu-
ally to provide means to regulate the
value of cotton in such manner as will
give the producer a much larger profit
under any and all circumstances than
is possible under present conditions.
But as yet there has been but little
discussion Of details on the floor Of
either the house or senate. All this will
be threshed out later, and the whole
proposition will be disposed of in some
way, either on the merits of the princi-
pies involved, or in accordance with
various other considerations that ac-
tuate representatives in the casting OF
their ballots. 1t is practically certain
that If the financial stress on account
of the low price Of cotton were as great
today as it was a year ago, the gener-
al assembly would put this bill through
in shape that would be reasonably
satisfactory to a majority Of the men,
bers. But there is no such stress at
this time, and if the plan is discarded
now, there will be little more agitation
on the subject until the bottom again
drops out of the price Of cotton, and
then the people will again be asking
why something was not done.
