MRS. FLANDERS
HELPS PLAN FIGHT.
Accused Widow Visits Lawyer in
Atlanta-0dd Fellows to Aid
DR.. McNaughton,

Az deliberately as if she had not
been thwarted in five previous at
tempts to obtain a hearing, Mrs Mat
tie Flanders, at Barlow, is planning
her defense which, she hopes, will be
presented in the Emanuel County
Court next Monday, for which day
has been set her trial on the charge
that she helped to kill her husband,
Fred Flanders, near Swainsboro, three
years ago. 1t developed to-day that
she has made several private trips to
Atlanta to confer with her attorney,
Luther Y. Rosser, in whose hands re-
Gently she placed her case.
Mrs. Flanders in Atlanta expressed
q fear that her case would be rol
pressed or dropped. She repeated the
desire that on previous occasion she
had expressed to a Georgian reporter
Il don't want the case to be dropped
or to die by postponement," she said.
81 want a trial, and a chance to tel
the truth. I am not afraid of the
truth: my conscience is clear. want
a chance to say that all these charges
and inferences they made against me
are lies"
Doctor Eager for Trial.
Another person as eager for her
trial as Mrs. Flanders herself is DR..
W. J. McNaughton. who is in Jail at
Savannah under sentence of death.
The charge is that for love of Mrs
Flanders he poisoned Fred Flanders,
his patient and friend. The defense
is that Flanders died a natural death
Flanders were not guilty Of an Illegal
love.
His suit lost in every court access
sible to him, DR.. McNaughton and his
attorneys see his only chance for life
or freedom in evidence that, they
say, will be brought out i'm the trial
Of Mrs. Flanders.
As 10 Dr. McNaughton's hopes. Mrs.
Flanders did not have much to say.
All along she has denied the charges
OF association with him.
Il don't know whether what l can
say will help him." she said. Il know
only that / loved my husband anu
that ! had nothing to do with his
death. That is all ] can say"
Father Has Faith in Her.
Mrs. Flanders lives at Barlow with
Ter father, W. J. Fields, a retired
planter He is serenely confident in
his daughters innocence.
Friends Of DR. McNaughton, Of
whom there are not many compared
to those against him, have declared
that persons who are urging the death
Of McNaughton are not DESTROYS that
Mrs. Flanders be tried, and that evil
dence tending to clear the man thus
possibly be furnished.
An agency which has taken up the
cause of DR.. McNaughton and thus
Indirectly Of Mrs Flanders is the Or
Ger of odd Fellows of North Caro-
lima, of which the physician is a men,
Der. The fraternity has interested it
self in his behalf, and has said that
t would stand by him.

Major J. C. French, Recently Appoint. ed Postmaster at Memphis, Dies
 at Breakfast Table.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 21.-MajOr J. C. French, recently appointed postmas- ter at Memphis, dropped dead at his breakfast table this morning from a stroke of apOpleXy.
 His wife and son and daughter, Thornton P. French and Mrs. E. B. Mercer, were with him when he died.

 H6w.d nuggets sof gold originate? sqshetimAs a, mass of tta'precious met al worth d thousahd dollars or r'imore is found. By what process was so much gold competed into lump?
 An attempt was made not long ago to answer this question. An investiga. tor in Australia cut and sliced and polished gold nuggets with the sole purpose of finding out just what is their structure. The first thing he dis covered was that there is one curious point of resemblance between gold nuggets and meteorites. Both, when polisbed and etched with chlorine wa ter, exhibit a crystalline structure. In the case of meteorites the lines thus exhibited on the etched surface are called Widmannstattian figures, and their presence is Said to be one of the most invariable characteristics of those metallic bodies that fall from the sky to the earth.
 But 1t is not meant to he implied that gOlQ nuggets nave falleu from the sky because they exhibit crystalline struc ture recalling that of meteorites The resemblance is apparently only super 1cial. and the crystals of the nuggets differ in form from those of the me teOrites.
 Another curious fact is that when a nugget is heated in a Bunsen flame ex plosions take place on it's surface. l,lis ters are formed which continue to swell until they burst with sharp re- port and bits of gold are violently seat. tered about It is evident chat the mug. gets contain either gases or some liu uids or solids which are easily convert ed into the gaseous form. the exmn sion of which produces the explosions -~Harper's Weekly.

WEALTHY JAP TO TEST
 THE ALIEN LAND LAW

Los Angeles, Aug. 21.-The first test of the constitutionality of the California alien land law will be be- gun here within the next few days by H. Tanigachi, wealthy Japanese, ac- cording to his attorney, H. A. Cham berlin.

Because the law provides that aliens not eligible to naturalization cannot become possess ed of real property within the state, Tanigachi directed Attorney Chamber lin to secure an interpretation from the United States courts as to it's con stitutionality.

KILLED X RATTl4 4ESNAKE
 THAT WAS EIGHT FEET LONG

Batesville, Aug. 21-One of the larg- est snakes ever seen here was kill ed by Sidney Pickens and Prof. ID. 'M. Frierson. They were returning from the school rally at Pleasant Plains when they saw in the road just ahead of them what they took to be a sapling. Coming nearer they saw they had a snake to deal with of uncommon dimesions. They had no weapon and could only do battle with small stones, such as they could pick up by the roadside.
 The snake showed fight, and not until his head had been beaten into pulp did he cease to hiss. The snake was as large as the calf of a mans leg and measured nearly eight feet in length. It had eleven rattlers and button.

FINED FOR STEALING
 WHISkEY IN DRY COUNTY

Batesville, Aug. 21.-Charles Ste vens and Paul Summons were con- victed of petty larceny ill justice court at Magness. the charges grow ing out of the alleged theft of an- other mans whiskey. Stevens was fined $10 and given thirty days in jail, while Sammons got off with $1O and one day in jail.
 The men claimed that they had as much right to the liquor as the ether man. Although this is dry territory and there is sort of unwritten law where liquor is not sold that a man is entitled to take from any mans jug or bottle at will and it is seldom there is any noise made about it, yet the defendant in this case were held guilty of theft.

New York Cotton

New York, Aug. 21-Cotton was somewhat irregular at the start, prices being 1 points lower to points higher Weak Liverpool cables were offset by a bullish pri- vate report on conditions in Texas and Oklahoma. The outlook was for continued dry weather. Business was active and there was heavy realizing here and in England, but offerings were we'll taken and prices made new high ground, active months selling about , points net higher The ad- vance was checked by continued profit-taking and reactions of several points occurred during the early trading.
 The market seemed more or less unsettled late in the morning with prices selling off several points from the best, but firming up again on de- tailed weather report, went 1@2 points higher.
 After selling about 1S@14 points net higher at noon, cotton turned easier under heavy realizing, inspired by re- ports of an easier southern spot basis and private predictions of general rains within the next few days. Sell ing was heavy on the reaction, which carried prices back to within $ or 4 points of yesterdays final.

- ..- IS THE ARKANSAS RIVER DRYING UP
RIVER MEN DECLARE THAT OLD STREAM IS GRADUALLY
 EMPTYING ITSELF.
Amount of Water Recorded This Year is Smaller Than On Any
 Previous Occasion.

Little Rock, Aug. 21-River men thrcaShout Arkansas, who have been watching the antics of the Arkansas river for the past twenty-four years or more declare that the stream is grad ually drying up, and unless the great amount of water taken from the head quarters of the stream for irrigation purposes in Colorado are allowed to come down yearly, that it will not be ten years before the once full stream will be no more than a creek or not even that
 For some time past the river men have been commenting on the small amount of water that has come down the stream, and this year the amount has been even smaller than on any other occasion, so that the men who have held to the idea that the stream will eventually dry up say they are aI- most sure of seeing their prophecies fulfilled.
 At present the rivers stage is at 9 inches, whereas it should be around 9 feet or even more. For many years because of the scarcity of the water, the steamboats have not been able to navigate the river.
 In years gone by such quantity of water came down the stream that steamboats could navigate it almost the whole year round. Now the steamboats cannot navigate it, except ! in times of high water, generally i around March, April or May, when the heavy rains have swollen the trib- utaries of the river ill this state. Of course, the river may change it's ideas and carry enough water in the years to come to accommodate traffic, but the records go to show that the stream has gradually become smaller and smaller and the water less

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, Aug Cotton-Fu- tnres opened steady at an advance of 1M5 points ol continued drouth in the western cotton belt. Cables were much lower than due and small failure was reported in the English market. {, Both features were ignored. After the call the market stood scr points up. Buying was good for both accounts. The protesting of the weather forecast predicting cloudy weather for large part of the west ern belt encouraged the hope that moisture was in sight. Bears increas- ed their offerings of short cotton and holders of long cotton sold cut on large scale with the result that at tho, end of the first half hour of busi- ness prices were S@9 points under yesterdays close.
 Toward the middle of the morning fresh reports of crop deterioration in the West and claims that in some counties of Texas and Oklahoma ir- reparable crop damage had been done stimulated buying. Shorts cov- cred and large buying orders for long account came in from interior points. The inquiry was met by very limited offerings and the decline of the early hours was quickly recovered and net advance again established. Late in the morning the trading months were 9@10 points over yesterdays last quotations. Bulls again stated profit taking and at noon prices were at net rise of 3M4 points.
