BIG MONEY MADE
IN RAISING HOGS
MORE CLEAR PROFIT TO BE MADE
THAN IN GROWING
COTTON.

Jas. f. Downing, OF the United
States bureau OF animal industry, who
has charge of Boys Pig clubs in Geor-
ga, says that the merchants and bank
ers Of Georgia are fast awakening to
the fact that cotton is not alone the
only safe basis for credit.
There Is more clear money and less
work raising hogs in South Georgia
than there is in cotton. No merchant
Or banker would think of loaning mon
ey on live stock, although there is
more profit in it. In some of the towns
the business men are taking a hand in
these pig clubs. The vlce-president of
IA Southern road told me yesterday to
call on him at any time Tor anything
that would help me. The keen bust
ness interests in Georgia are waking
up to the fact that forty millions Of
sCod money is sent away for some
that can be raised right at home, and,
furthermore, cotton is not the only
profitable thing to produce. What will
the farmers do when the boil weevil
comes? That question is easy-raise
hogs. Out in Iowa where was raised
they have an Old saying about the
Iowa farmer. They say he raises more
hogs, to buy more land, to raise more
corn to feed more hogs. Iowa raised
eight hogs to Georgia's one, and big
hunk of the forty million dollars spent
by Georgia for meat goes to Iowa. l
know this to be true. | would not like
to say how much money an Iowa farm
er would make raising hogs if he had
Georgia's advantages, but he certainly
would not fear the boil weevil."

SUGGESTION BOOK
WOULD HELP CITY
SURE TO AROUSE INTEREST IN
THE WORK OF THE BOARD
OF TRADE.

/ With the election Of officers and d.
! rectOrs the Bruins wick Board of
Trade has busy year ahead and to
hep in the good work it might be
a good idea for the organization II
open book OF suggestions and give
the members of the body, as well as
| the people Of the city generally an
opportunity to OFFER suggestions in
connection with the work that the
DCdy should tackle for the coming
year in the upbuilding Of the city and
surrounding country.
Through the means Of suggestion
/ book suggestions could be submitted
either witt or without the name of
the suggester, the suggestions to be
passed on by the directors or at the
open meetings of the organization, and
In this manner many valuable hints
might be received that would work for
the good of the city.
While this idea is not original it is
worthy of a trial and the local board
of trade might do well to give it con
alteration as many times good ideas
come from the most unexpected quar-
tiers, that, il worked out would help
the community.
A Trades day" would also mean
much to the city as a whole as it
would bring people from all over the
surrounding country into Brunswick.
Arrangements could be made with
the railroads entering Brunswick for
special rates and boats could be run
rom Darien and as far as Fernandina
Brunswick has made great strides
during the past year and with little
effort could be made the trade center
for this section of Georgia
With the merchants of the city offer
ing special bargains and a Trades
day" advertised throughout this sec
ton Of Georgia with low rates on the
railroads, a great gathering could I'M
uoubtedly be attracted to Brunswick
for the spring and summer buying and
the ity would prosper accordingly.
1t is at least worth the effort.

Testimony Corroborated.


Testimony Corroborated.
His testimony was fully corroborat.
ed by that Of Wesley Howe who was
with Mr.. Williamson when the satch-
el and other articles were found. As
a matter Of fact these articles were
| found by Howe, who informed Mr.. VII
/ hanson Of the fact and they returned
to the scene together. He told prac-
tically the same story about the bolt
and was quite certain in the Identified
/ ton Of it.
He was even more positive about
/ a horse having been tied to tree
/ near where the articles were found,
saying that there were horse foot
prints under the tree and horse hair
about the limbs, indicating that a
1 horse had been tied TO the tree. On
cross-examinatiOn he stated that the
! horsehair found was about the color
Of the horse usually ridden by Davis
j. -. Manor, employed at the time
! by the lumDer company, and whose
| business was that OF hauling logs,
also told OF the bolt, which seems to
be playing prominent part in the
case. Manor testified that he had seen
the bolt On two or three occasions
that after it had been replaced by
another that he picked it up and threw
it under the house occupied by Davis
He never thought of the bolt any more
until after the murder, when he looked
under the house and found that the
bolt had been removed. He also iden-
.ined the bolt and the improper cut OF
| the threads, and, like the other wit
nesses, admitted, on the cross-eXami-
nation, that it was possible that other
| bolts could have also been improperly
cut.
| This witness also told of converse
tions with Davis in which he had
threatened the life of his wife, saying
on one occasion that she will never
appear against me, I'll put that d.
woman out of the way" He said
that he was told not to do such a
thing and that he said the law only
prevented him from doing It.
After Manor completed his testimo

make some excuse if he met anyone. He met
no one. He slipped into the first room that
he saw, and concealed himself behind the cur
tain. Thence he could see the drawbridge go
UP, and he knew that his only escape was
through the moat He waited until quarter
past eleven, when Mr.. Douglas upon his usual
nightly round came into the room. He shot
him and escaped, as arranged. He was aware
that the bicycle would be described by the
hotel people and be clue against him; so
he left it there and made his way by some
other means to London or to some safe hiding
place which he had already arranged. How
is that, Mr.. Holrnes?"
"Well, Mr.. Mac, it is very good and very
clear so far as it goes That is your end Of
the story My end is that the crime was COM
n1tted half an hour earlier than reported ;
that Mrs. Douglas and Barker are both in
conspiracy to conceal something; that they
aided the murderer's escape,-or at least that
they reached the room before he escaped
and that they fabricated evidence of his es-
cape through the window, whereas in all
probability they had themselves let him go
by lowering the bridge. That's my reading
of the first half"
The two detectives shook their heads.
"WeH, Mr.. Holmes, if this is true, we only
tumble out of one mystery into another" said
the London Inspector.
"And in some ways worse one" added
White Mason. "The lady has never been in
America in all her life. What possible connec-
ton could she have with an American as
sassin which would cause her to shelter him?"
II freely admit the difficulties" said
Holmes. "I propose to make little investi-
cation of my own tonight, and it is just pos
sible that it may contribute something to the
common cause"
"Can we help you, Mr.. Holm esq"
"No, no! Darkness and DR.. Watson's um-
brela-1ny wants are simple And Ames, the
faithful Ames, no doubt he will stretch
point for me. All my lines of thought lead
me back invariably to the one basic question,
why should an athletic man develop his
frame upon so unnatural an instrument as
single dumb-bell?"
TT was late that night when Holmes re-
turned from his solitary excursion. We
slept in a double bedded room, which was the
best that the little country inn could do for
us. l was already asleep when l was partly
awakened by his entrance.
"Well, Holiness" 1 mur1nured @have you
found anything out?"
He stood beside me in silence, his candle in
his hand. Then the tall, lean figure inclined
toward me. II say, Watson" he whispered,
Evening star., 1914-10-11

There were no papers or letters and no mark
ing upon the clothes. A cycle map of the
county Law on his bedroom table. He had
left the hotel after breakfast yesterday morn
ing on his bicycle, and no more was heard of
him until Our inquiries"
"That's what puzzles me, Mr.. Holmes"
said White Mason. "If the fellow did not
want the hue and cry raised over him, one
would imagine that he would have returned
and renamed at the hotel as an inoffensive
tourist. As it is, he must know that he will
be reported to the police by the hotel manager
and that his disappearance will be connected
with the murder"
$50 one would imagine. Still, he has been
justified of his wisdom up to date, at any rate,
since he has not been taken. But his de-
scription-wlat of that?"
Macdonald referred to his notebook. "Here
we have 1t so far as they could give it. They
don't seem to have taken any very particular
stock of him; but still the porter, the clerk,
and the chambermaid are all agreed that this
about covers the points: He was man about
five foot nine in height, fifty or so years of
age, his hair slightly grizzled, a grayish mus
tache. a curved nose, and face which all of
of them described as fierce and forbidding."
"Well, bar the expression, that might al
most be a description of Douglas himself"
said Holmes. "He is just over fifty, with
grizzled hair and mustache, and about the
same height. Did you get anything else?"
"He was dressed in heavy gray suit with
a REFER jacket, and he wore a short yellow
overcoat and soft cap
"What about the shotgun?"
at is less than two feet long. 1t could very
we'll have fitted into his valise. He could
have carried it inside his overcoat without
difficulty"
"And how do you consider that all this bears
upon the general case?"
"Well, Mr.. Holiness" said Macdonald,
"when we have got our man-and you may
be sure that had his description on the wires
within five minutes of hearing tive shall be
we have surely gone long way. We know
that an American calling himself Hargrave
came to Tunbridge Wells two days ago with
bicycle and valise. In the latter was a sawed
off shotgun; so he came with the deliberate
purpose of crime. Yesterday morning he set
off for this place on his bicycle, with his gun
concealed in his overcoat. No one saw him
arrive, so far as we can learn; but he need not
pass through the village to reach the park
gates, and there are many cyclists upon the
road. Presumably he at once concealed his
cycle among the iaurcls where it was found,
and possibly 1urked there himself, with his

of the local police Sergeant On the table in
front of them were piled number of letters
sorting and docketing. Three had been
placed on one SIDE
"Still on the track of the elusive bicyclist?"
Holmes asked cheerfully. @What is the latest
news of the ruffian?"
Macdonald pointed ruefully to his heap of
correspondence. "He is at present reported
from Leicester, Nottingham, Southampton,
Derby, East Ham, Richmond, and fourteen
other places. In three of them-East Ham,
Leicester, and Liverpool-there is a clear
case against him. and he has actually been
arrested. The country seems to be full of
fugitives with yellow coats"
"Dear mel" said Holmes sympathetically.
"Now, Mr.. Mac, and you, Mr.. White Mason.
l wish to give you very earnest piece of ad-
vice. When 1 went into this case with you 1
bargained, as you will no doubt remember
that should not present you with half-proved
theories, but that l should retain and work
out my own ideas until had satisfied myself
that they were correct. For this reason | am
not at the present moment telling you all
that is in my mind. On the other hand,
said that | would play the game fairly by
you, and 1 do not think it is fair game to
allow YOU for one unnecessary moment to
waste your energies upon a profitless task.
Therefore l am here to advise you this morn
ing, and my advice to you is summed up in
three words, Abandon the case"
MACDONALD and White Mason stared in
amazement at their celebrated colleague
"You consider 1t hopeless!" cried the In
spector.
u consider your case to be hopeless. I do
not consider that it is hopeless to arrive at the
truth"
"But this cyclist. He is not an invention.
We have his description, his valise, his bicycle.
The fellow must be somewhere. Why should
we not get him?"
"Ycs, yes, no doubt he is somewhere and
no doubt we shall get him; but l would not
have you waste your energies in East Ham
or Liverpool. l sure that we can find
some shorter cut to result"
"You are holding something back. It's
hardly fair of you, Mr.. Holmes" The In
srector was annoyed.
"You know my methods of work, Mr.. Mac.
But l will hold it back for the shortest time
possible. l only wish to verify my details in
one way, which can very readily be done, and
then make my bow and return to London,
leaving my results entirely at your service.

bridge Wells last night, and you were in gen.
eral agreement with our results. What has
happened since then to give you completely
