but there we're green trees at the

The man assured her that they
would find it together.
You mustn't think that this esca-
pade diverted Mulcahy from his origi-
al scheme. Only he wanted to be of
use to the child, and he also saw q
much better way Of obtaining his ar
rest and entrance to prison.
The locket and chain he knew
would serve his purpose, for he in
tended stealing them as soon as he
had found her home. There were
four dollars and ninety cents left
from the pens munificence, but he
spent enough of it in a candy-store
to have provided for himself for two
days.
Over congenial glass of ice cream
soda the little girl gave him her name
Violet Van Twiller. The telephone
eating the Van Twiller mansion,
whittier Violet was escorted by her
ragged friend
Afterward, when Mulcahy left her
standing at the door of her home
waving at him and smiling in her
sweet, frank way, he wondered how
he had found 1t in his heart to steal
the necklace; but there it was in
his hand, still warm from contact with
her throat.
Then he darted away from the
street, and, clasping the locket tightly,
| flew to the first police station and
gave himself up.
The judge did not conceal his dis
gust when he learned that Mulcahy
| had robbed a child; and when he
uttered sternly, six months on the

brutality of man who could smile at

day he advertised in all the papers
that he wished to reward the person

But Malcahy never learned Of this

on freedom and gazed longing
ly at the graystone penitentiary,
which seemed to be slipping away
from him and growing smaller and
cozier as distance lent the enchant-
ment of perspective to his loneliness.
For Mulcahy, dazzled by liberty,
was very lonely indeed. Every mo-
ment that the water widened between
him and the prison it lessened the
distance from the city, and in two
minutes more the man knew that the
metropolis, bristling with antogonism,
cold and strange and busy with it's
holiday season, would be upon him,
and it filled his heart with a name
less dread.
But, after all, he had only himself

Free to kill himself before he starved

happiness that showed itself in the

He was only free to go anywhere;

ESTATELEF To
CHILD At DEATH
Three-Year Litigation in Berrien
County Ends in Compromise
of Interesting Case,

VALDOSTA. Sept. 2O.-The suit Of
J. \. Hutchinson, OF Cecil, Ga, to re-
cover the estate Of his uncle. the late
John ID. Hutchinson, from the admin
lstrator, DIR. r, w. Schnauss, of Val
dosta, was settled In Berrien Supe-
rior Court at Nashville this week,
ending one of the most unusual and
interesting cases ever before the
courts of this section
The fight for the estate worth about
$50, 900, began soon after the death
of John d. Hutchinson three years
ago, and in one shape and another
had gone through the Superior Court
then to the Supreme Court, and back
again to the lower tribunal 1t finally
was compromised this week by an
agreement to let a receiver be ap-
pointed who is to wind up the estate,
sell all of the property and divide it
half and half between the widow and
child of John d. Hutchinson on one
side and the nephew claimant, J. A.
Hutchinson, on the other side.
John ID. Hutchinson, a prominent
farmer. mill owner and merchant. so
years old and bachelor, some years
ago took his nephew, J. Archer
hutchinson, then a lad, to live with
him, promising, as claimed by the
latter. that If the boy would do so
and assist him in the management of
his business he would make him an
equal partner, giving him half of all
he possessed, effective then. and that
on his death ]. Archer Hutchinson
would inherit his entire estate The
elder Hutchinson probably at that
time never intended to marry, but he
did so later and his widow gave birth
to son few weeks after his death.
While on his death bed, realizing
that some provision should be made
for his wife and unborn child, ii is
claimed that he summoned his friend
and physician, DR. Schnauss, and ask
ed him to look out for his wife's in
terest and see that she received a just
proportion Of the estate DR.. Schnauss
applied for letters of administration
on the death of Mr. Hutchinson, which
appointment was fought by the neph
ew and the fight was taken into the
courts, finally resulting in the conflr-
nation OF DR. SChnauss as admins
traitor. No will was left by the de-
ceased. J. Archer Hutchinson. bas-
ing his claims on the verbal promises
made by his uncle, later entered suit
TO recover the entire estate from the
administrator.

80 CTS. BOUNTY
ON THE HEADS Of.
HAWKS AND OWLS
More Game and Birds Destroyed
by These Pests Than by Hunt
ers, Says Sportsman,

AUGUSTA, Sept 20.-Former Chief
of Police NJ. J. Norris, one Of the best
known sportsmen in this section Of
the country. believes that he has tho
successful solution 10 the Georgia
game problem.
Mr.. Norris says that the RESPONSE
bility for scarcity of game and birds
is laid almost entirely at the door Of
the sportsmen who hunt wild game
1t IS not so much the fault of hunts
Mr.. Norris, and he proposes that a
bounty OF so cents be placed on the
head Of each hawk and owl.
Great Destruction,
The distance between Augusta and
Savannah by the river is 2SS miles, ="
said Mr.. Norris, ''and conservative
estimate places the number of hawks
and owls on the river alone at 1000.
Each hawk and owl will eat at least
one squirrel, one young turkey, one
duck or one quail each week, and
with 50 weeks in the year there are
3d. 900 OF these game birds or fowls
eaten by the birds of prey mentioned.
I believe that each hawk and owl will
come nearer eating bird or SPUR
rel per day than only one per week,
but the figures based on one being
consumed each week show how enor-
nous is the destruction.
Bounty Attracts Negroes.
IF a bounty of 80 cents each was
placed on the heads of hawks and
owls there would be great quantities
Of them killed. Negroes, principally,
would literally live in the swamps.
The number Of quail. squirrels, duck
and wild turkeys, as we'll as other
game birds and animals, would in
crease rapidly and at the same time
the huntsmen could enjoy much bet
ter sport.
Doves, a well as quail, are eaten
largely by hawks. and have had to
shoot the hawks away from dove
( fields before the doves would come az
all.
The bounty could be paid from the
I funds secured by selling hunting
licenses and from fines and forfeitures
for violating the game laws"

AUGUSTA BARGE
LINE To START
WITH 100000
Threatened Cotton Rate Increase
All That Was Needed to Reiu-
venate River Traffic.

AUGUSTA, Sept. 20.-The expert.
ence Of Macon with her freight rates
has thrown a scare into Augusta
business men. and It is predicted that
the barge line fund will be oversub-
scribed within q few hours after the
traf1c committee starts out tomor-
row.
Augusta enjoys splendid rates be-
cause of her position on the Savan-
nah River. Macon also enjoys favor
able rates because OF her position on
the Ocmulgee. but several years age
traffic on that river was stopped. Tha
result was that the railroads raised
the rates and Macon is now handi-
capped.
The rate on cotton from Augusta
to Savannah is $1.05 per bale. Tha
rate on cotton from Macon to Savan-
nah is 81 per bale.
During l911-l912, when Georgia
made the greatest cotton crop in her
history, Augusta received $4,000
bales The largest export houses on
the Continent have agencies here, and
better prices are paid for cotton here
than elsewhere because OF the IA
vorable rate.
Augusta allowed the steamboat line
to go into bankruptcy and traffic or
the river to stop. Then Colonel d. c
Kingman, Of the United States Corps
of Engineers, in charge Of the Sa-
vannah River, issued a statement that
unless Augusta did something for the
river traffic he would not recommend
any additional appropriations for the
Savannah River, Then Augusta g0t
busy. 1t was at first thought the bet
ter plan would be to have more
steamboats,, but this plan was dis
carded, as barge line appeared to be
the best solution.
Colonel Kingman threw the great
est scare into Augusta business men
that they ever had, for they knew
that a discontinuance of trafflc on the
river would be followed by a raise In
freight rates equally as high as the
rates which Macon has TO stand for
because of her failure to have trans
on the Ocmulgee.
The barge line is now assured, for
although the traffic committee viii
not start out until tomorrow morn
ing, still loyal citizens have indicated
their willingness to see to It that the
barge line company, with 100000
capital stock, is started at once.
