E. G. Kastenhuber's Only New Plans
Are to Widen Scope of His
Laboratory Work.

WAYCROSS. July 19.-Finding him
self in possession of cash and property
worth a quarter of a million dollars has
not caused Edwin G Kastenhuber to
change his way of living. If anything
he is working harder now than before
He can be found any morning just at
daylight out in his backyard cutting
wood. That's his first morning work at
home and he refers to it as his "exer-
else"
Plans for more extensive laboratory
work have been made by Mr.. HASTEN
huber and with the means at hand to
carry them out, he expects in a short
while to demonstrate some valuable
formulate. One of his successes is a mix
ture of ordinary South Georgia sand
with chemicals. forming a hard tile, coll
ored in any way desired. Fancy bricks
made by him have withstood all kinds
Of tests.
Discussing the new turn of events,
Mr.. Kastenhuber says he does not feel
any different since getting S250,0O0
In my new laboratory l will have
fitted up special quarters for students
and will have a department open to the
medical profession. The best time | can
have is when l am working, and l am
certainly not going to start loafing just
because l am well fixed" he said.

WAYCROSS, July 19.-Plans that
are expected to aid the proposed con-
soIldatIon Of work of the American
Federation Of Labor and the Farmers
Union were discussed at length in
Waycross to-day when a joint COM
mittee representing the trade union
lists and the Ware County Farmers
Union held a conference.
S. B. Marks, president Of the Geor-
gia Federation Of Labor. and Robert
Fechner, secretary, attended, as did
President James Cowart, Of the Ware
County Farmers Union.
1t is not proposed that the National
Farmers Union and the American
Federation of Labor shall affiliate and
become one big organization. The
movement seeks only a unity of pur-
pose-close cooperation for mutual
welfare.
Following the conference it was an
nOunced that a joint meeting of the
State executive committees of the
Farmers Union and the Georgia Fed
Grafton Of Labor would be called.
When this is done it is expected that
the national organizations viii adopt
a similar plan for use in the entire
country.

City officials Will

Savannah Executive Now Plans Reg
ular Daily Period for Comforting
With City Employees.

SAVANNAH, July 19.-Hereafter
city officials will be shown no favor
itism when they call on Mayor Rich
ard J. Davant on city business. They
will have to take their chances along
with everybody else. If one Of the
humblest citizens happens to get into
the Mayors reception room first the
city official will have to wait his
turn.
Mayor Davant has given his sec
rotary instructions to this effect, and
they will have to stand until a sys-
TEN of Office hours which the Mayor
has in mind can be put into effect
1t is the Mayors plan to set aside
certain hour each day for inter-
views with city officials on city bust
ness. This hour will be made known
to the people, and callers other than
city officials will not be allowed to see
the Mayor during that period. An
other hour-or two, if necessary
Will be set aside for the public.
At present there is no system Of
this sort at the City Hall, and the
callers see the Mayor whenever their
time comes. Heretofore city off,
Gals have been given precedence
over all others irrespective of the
time they arrived or how many peo-
pie are ahead of them.
II has been the case that a city Of
fetal was admitted TO the Mayor the
moment he arrived at the office, no
matter If a dozen or so people had
been waiting for some time for an
interview.

Investigation of Death of ECCen-

in Coroner'S Verdict.

WAYCROSS. July 19-The Clinch
County Coroner's Jury investigating
the mysterious murder of Mack
Spain, an eccentric and wealthy far
mer, has returned a verdict accusing
Tom Billiard, a white man lust en-
tering the twenties.
Billiard is the man who found
SPANS body. or rather informed
searchers of the place where the body
could be found. His part in the
search for the body is one thing that
has turned suspicion to him, as it is
alleged he told members of the
searching party Spain's body was on
the edge of pond and could be seen
easily. When found the body was in
a location that made 1t impossible for
any one to see II from the place Bull
lard said he was when he first dis
covered the farmers remains.
At least one more white man, and
officers are inclined to believe a third,
may become implicated Billiard has
steadfastly refused to make any
statement beyond saying that he
knows nothing of how Spain was
killed
Another arrest may be made within
few days. Both men suspected Of
knowing something of the death and
the robbery have been found and it
is declared will not be able to get
away. Sheriff Lee, Of Cunch, has
been in Waycross working on clew
that he found near SPANS home and
this, it is said, will fix the RESPONSE
bility for the murder beyond any
doubt. No one has been able to as
certain how much was taken from
Spain. nor where IT was put. Billiard
has told officers nothing that will ala
them in this respect.
