AGE OF ALPHABET.
Prof. w. NJ. Flinders Petrie Says 1t Is
Older Than The Phenicians.
Boston Globe.)


The celebrated Psychologist, Prof.
w. M. Flinders Petrie, has published
new work called "The Growth Of
Signs in which he attacks the theory
that our alphabet is Phenecian Prof.
Petrie says that the most commonly
accepter theory is that the Phenecians
derived heir alphabet from the ancient
Egyptian hieratic writing, that they
developed it and added to it and pass
ed it on practically in the form we
have it today.
The professor, on the other hand,
maintains that the signs composing the
alphabet originated in many parts CT
the world as far apart as Asia Minor
and Spain, that they were gradually
brought together by the nations dwell
ing around the Mediterranean and COLI
densed by them into our convenient
system, and that while the Phenecians
used this system they were in no
sense parents of it.
He was first started on the way -
these conclusions when he discovered
in Egypt signs similar to those of the
alphabet that were older than hieratic
or hieroglyphfc writing. He found
these signs dating from the twelfth
dynasty.
He then traced the existence of other
alphabetic signs in other various parts
of the world, which could have been
derived from the Phenecians. He has
compiled list of signs found in s.
ancient languages from which he I'M
dertakes to show that our alphabet
was derived.
He attacks the old idea that our
letters are drawings of animals AMI
things that suggest the sounds that
we give to the letters. For insance i
has been said that "a" represents al
bulls head, because the letter sounds
like the believing of an animal; that
IS" represents the serpent, because
the sound of the letter is like the hiss
ing of the reptile and so on.
Prof. Petrie argues that the signs
from which the alphabet is derived
were in use before the art of making
pictures arose, and that, therefore, t:
Is absurd to suppose that the alpha
bette letters and pictures were derived
in this way He cites alphabetic signs
1000 years old,

WOMAN ROUTS BURGLAR
With One LOUD SCREAM

Atlanta, August 29-One sharp STAG
cato scream emitted by Mrs. r. j. Rob
inson as she arose in bed last night
and saw a burglar in her room was
worth $4,000 to the frightened lady.
The thief who had that amount of
booty in a bag, in cash, dropped it and
leaped through a window.
The scream not only frightened the
burglar. 1t aroused the neighborhood
and a general chase took place, but
the burglar managed to make his es-
cape.

Bickham, president of the Com,
mercial Bank here and of the
banks at Mt. Herman and Angie.
The warrent having been re-
cieved, it was placed in the hands
of constable Moore, of this place,
who served it on Mr.. Bickham
this morning, and he was taken
to FranklintOn.
Further arrests, it is reported,
are expected at any moment.
From very reliable sources it is
learned that the condition of the
Commercial Bank is much worse
than at first anticipated, but as
the examination and appraising
of the assets is still going on the
total amount is not yet to be es-
certained.
From present indications,
however, it is believed that the
assets of the Bank of Angie are
sufficient to pay depositors dol
lar for dollar, but the other two
banks involved are in much
worse condition.
