1853 AUTOS SOLD IN
GEORGIA IN JANUARY;
RECORD YEAR LIKELY

Notwithstanding the fact that January
is recognized among automobile dealers
as the worst month Of the year for their
business, the records of the office of
secretary of state, show a fine increase in
Georgia sales this year over January 1912
The total number of machines sold in
January last year was S15, against a to-
tai this year of 353. And this despite the
fact that January of 1919 was a bright,
sunshny month, whereas this was one of
almost continuous rain.
Atlanta automobile dealers believe that
the figures recorded so far in the sec
retary's office indicate a ercord- breaking
sales year in the business.

Detectives Hold
Foul PLAY Theory.

Detectives who are working on the
case hold to the theory that the girl
has been the victim of foul play or in
continue the search.
Miss Scogins, a pretty nineteen
year old girl, came to Atlanta two
weeks ago. She said she was a mill
liner, in Atlanta temporarily, on her
way North for the spring buying. A
merry, friendly girl, she became imme-
diately popular with the young people
who lived with her in the boarding
house on Peachtree street.
Monday morning week she left
the house and when she returned said
she haid been married That afternoon
she disappeared. Today they fear that
her romance was a dream and that it
has ended sadly for her. When she left
the boarding house she said she would
be back soon. Her room remains as
she lived in it, with all her belongings
there, untouched.
When she did not return for several
days, her landlady grew alarmed and
informed her family at Newman her
disappearance. This resulted in the
coming of her brother, Gilmore Scogins
who, after a vain search went home
today, holding only the aimsy hope
which was borne in the promises Of
the detectives that they would work
further and do all they can to find her
