EUGENE H. GRACE Is DEAD
Final Chapter Written in One Of Great
est Georgia Tragedies.

Newman, Ga.-Eugene Grace is dead
and the final chapter has been written
to the famous tragedy. The end came
at his Newman home where he has
been living for months.
Around him were gathered his moth.
er, brother, sister and stepfather and
a number of relatives.
While the angel of death was hover
ing over Eugene Grace there came
from the North the report that the
woman he accuses was cherishing the
hope that her husband. would recover
and ask her back into his sunny South
ern home.
Grace was wounded March 5, 1912.
Awaking about noon with bullet in
his spine, he crawled from bed to tele-
phone police headquarters. Policemen
found him unconscious in locked
bedroom of his East Eleventh street
home, Atlanta, Ga. He accused his
wife and she was arrested at the Ter
minal station on her return from her
husbands home In Newman.
Mrs. Grace declared the shooting
was accidental. She faced Grace In the
hospital, where he accused her before
detectives, saying she shot him while
he was asleep. She was Jailed, but
shortly after gave bond and made a
trip to Philadelphia. Her trial occur
red several weeks later and she was
acquitted. The wounded man attend
ed the trial on stretcher, constantly

1t 60 happens that in Florida the

only In the human system during
these months, ready for the further
spread of malaria with the return OF

autumn, should voluntarily report to
the family physician and receive ada-
Quate and proper treatment, the ma
larial germs would be completely dcs-
troyed. The Anopheles returning in
March or April for her usual summer
campaign, would be reduced to the
rank OF an ordinary nuisance and
woul. lose prestige as q fear3ome
disease carrier. Fer inasmuch as the
weather cond.t ions throughout the
South, while allowing the mosquito
to hibernate, actually destroy all the
malarial germs in the insect, so that

become infected again from germs in
the human carrier before she can fur

Importance AID significance of free

this accomplished, malaria would be
forever banished from Florida, unless

somewhere from ten million to hun

brought about and to have the wide,

Eugene Matthews, editor and owner

Eugene Matthews, editor and owner
of the Bradford County Telegraph,
has taken an associate editor and bus
mess manager into the business in or
der that he may give his own time to
the active management of the Bank
of Starke, of which institution Mr..
Matthews has been president since its
organization seven years ago. The
associate editor of the Telegraph is
Mr.. F. E. Robbins, for the past four
years connected with the establish
ment as foreman. The Bradford
County Telegraph has been a power
in the upbuilding of Bradford county,
and in the moulding of State policies
has exerted more influence than often
falls to the lot of weekly papers in an
interior and farming community. But
that was Matthews. He is much big
ger than the average newspaper man,
else he would not now be one of the

General Simon Bolivar Buckner,

General Simon Bolivar Buckner, the
last acknowledgement of the Confed-
eracy, died last week at his home in
Kentucky, aged 81 years. General
Buckner was a West Pointer, had a
brilliant career in the Mexican wal
and at the inception of the civil wal
resigned and rendered his sword to
the Confederacy. He was the gold
democratic party candidate for the
vice-presidency with Gen. Palmer in
1896, more as protest at that time
to the financial heresies which many
democrats attributed to the Bryan
regime. Later he served his state as
governor.

week in the person of o. B. Robinson,

for thirty-fve years an active and val

several years Mr.. Robinson was
school master of the town and where
he did his full part in moulding minds
so that in after years they would be-
come valuable assets of the comm mi
ty and state. For a number of years
also he was connected with the old
Palatka Herald under the manage

splendid work in advancing the L. ter
ests of this section. He was a grace
full writer and many of his sket ches
will be remembered by old citizens OF
the county. For more than a yeal
Mr.. Robinson has been in decline. His
end, like his long life of siXty-nine
years, was peaceful.

David, overborne by his over

'Creata in me clean heart, O

God. He had resolved to seal his
prophetic lips, and utter Gods
name no more in the ears of an
idolatrous generation. "But," said

When outside opposition had ST.

Paul believed this. When he
saw that in him-that is, in his

Possibly the greatest proft-sharine
plan ever inaugurated is that which
has just been announced by the Fore
Motor Co. of Detroit, Michigan. The
plan is to give every employee a share
in the company's profits; to give al
least 80 per cent of the employees a
minimum wage of S. per day; to cut
the working day from nine hours to
eight, and to guarantee faithful en-
ployes work on farms during dull
months in the motor car trade. Incl
dentally the company also has prom
Used that each man will be given a
trial in different departments, to
develop or prove his efficiency. No
man will be dismissed except as last
resort. During the present year the
enormous sum of $f0,000,000 is to be
distributed among the employees. With
such a bounteful scale of recompense,
the Ford company can doubtless Sc
cure the highest grade of service, end
the best service even in the more COM
mon tasks. The plan as outlined con-
tains the greatest possibilities for
good. And it is put forward by men
who have been conspieuously success
full in their undertakings. The whole
world will rejoice in the announce
ment that reveals a spirit of such vast
generosity, spirit that can contem-
plate and promise the division of $40
100000 in profits among workers.

staunch little ship Of fourteen tons, the
property of the state shell fish commits

Key for Port Inglis, where Capt. Joe
Crevasse, Capt James Berry and Mr.
w. Fl. O'Brien will take up leases on
the Withlacoochee river bars adJoin-

from which considerable amount OF
oysters are being shipped. He will
then proceed west to st. Marks, Car
rabelle, Apalachicola, st. Andrews Bay
and Pensacola, at which places appli
