Try as hard rs you please, you
can never get the knocker to be-
lieye bis home town anything but
a modern Nazareth. Nothing good
can come from it. Even when
some bit Of successful boosting
and hustIinG or unusual generosity
sets the outside world to talking,
he hnds some flaw. some manner
in which the deed would have
been bettered had it happened in
such and such q town. Person
ally, his brains, if changed to
water would not be sufficient to
dampen the dust on q Rnat's
whisker, but he considers himself
capable of giving advice to ole
man Solomon. We are not sure
there is any great moral In the
above outburst, but it was imper-
tive that we turn loose of the
above metaphOre.

DIAMONDS VALUED
$4,000 DISAPPEAR
Macon Firms Package is
Switched at Norfolk

Macon, Ga, May 2.-Superintenden
Smith, of the southeastern division of
the Southern Express company, aided
by two Pinkerton detectives, has been
in Macon two days, investigating the
disappearance of a package containing
three diamonds, the wholesale value OF
which was about $4,000.
The diamonds were sent about ten
days ago by the Ries aid Armstrong
Jewelry company, of Macon, to H W.
White & company, of New York. dia-
mond brokers, and the opinion of the
Southern Express company officials
now is that the package disappeared
in or near Norfolk, Va, where certain
irregularities occurred.
The White company, a few days ago,
received a package which was a dupli.
cate of the one sent from Macon by
the Ries & Armstrong company When
it was opened the original package
contained nothing but paper, the orig
inal contents having been removed and
another substituted in it's place a
telegram was at once sent to Ries and
Armstrong, and the Southern Express
officials notified.
When the package was delivered to
the express company by one of the
clerks of the jewelry company, a re-
ceipt was secured for it, and unless the
diamonds are recovered the express
company will have to make good the
loss.
Sunday Supt. Smith, of Atlanta
Route Agent Fargason and two Pink
erton men put in the entire day from
9 O'Clock in the morning, examining
of the clerical department OF
the company who handled the package
over this division. Enough has been
learned, it is said, to make it appear
positive that the packages were switch
ed about Norfolk, Va, and the inves-
tigation will now be conducted from
that point.
Guy Armstrong, members of the firm
of Ries & Armstrong, last night de-
clined to discuss the disappearance of
the diamonds, stating that he had beer
requested to maintain secrecy until the
