Georgia Greatest Electric
State In The Country

Atlanta, Ca, July 23.-Georgia
is about to become the greatest
electric state in the country, not
even excepting New York, where
Niagara Falls furnishes such an
enormous current, according to
hydro-electric experts who paid
a visit to Atlanta this week and
made a tour of the gigantic pow
er plant properties of the Geor-
gia Railway and Power company
at Tallulah Falls.
The new power plant is turn
ing a vast proportion of the
wheels of Atlanta now, and ex-
perts say that even should every
coal field in this section run out
there is enough water power
stored in the Tallulah river and
other North Georgia streams to
run every enterprise in the state.
The company will, before the
work is finally completed, have
invested more than $4,000, 900
in this work. Manufacturers of
many lines are making inquiries
as to factory sites along the pow
er lines and an influx of new in
dustrial enterprises is expected
within the next few years.
A noticeable effect of the new
plant and the reduced rate in
current occasioned by it's build
Ing is the fact that new office
buildings are using the company's
juice instead of building their
own plants as many large build
ings in other cities do.

A Dream About Realized

Atlanta, Ca, July %. AT last
Crawford Wheatley, of Ameri-
Gus, is about to realize his dream
of several years-that is, if the
senate agrees with the house,
which yesterday afternoon pas
sed the bill which provides for a
constitutional amendment Great
ing the Office of lieutenant COVER
nor.
Mr.. Wheatley, as senator,
worked and prayed over that bill.
1t bobbed up every year, got
buried or sidetracked, and never
could reach a vote on it's merits.
The house voted on it a few
weeks ago and defeated it be-
cause the salary of the new Of
fetal had been left to some fu-
ture legislature to decide. The
friends of the measure brought
it up again yesterday afternoon
and had it amended so that the
Lieutent-governor will draw ST a
day while the legislature is in
session for providing over the
senate and in case he succeeds to
the governorshlp he will get the
regular gubernatorial salary for
the time he is on the job. The
new office, by the way, will take
away from the senate the right
to elect its own presiding officer.

Pouring Oil On
Troubled Waters


Atlanta, Ga, July 25.-Mem-
bers of the senate today are try
ing to pour oil on the troubled
waters which grew turbulent yes
terday when the bill to change
Georgia's senatorial districts
came up and Senator Kea and
Senator Mcneil grew exceeding
ly warm in the debate.
Senator Kea intimated that
Senator HUE, one of the bill's
authors, was under the influence
of President Anderson. In his
attack on the supporters of the
bill Senator Kea remarked: II
would not believe them if they
swore themselves as black in the
face as the charcoal in help.
Senator Mcneil, in biting
speech, replied to Senator Nc
Kea. The bill which provided
for increasing the number of
senatorial districts from A to 60.
was lost by II to Is.

of the estate of the late Philip Van

Our firm is | corrected.
But you, personally, have been at
tending to his business? He was a col
lector of old furniture, l believer"

And on his last trip to Europe,
from which he returned only a few
days ago. he purchased of Armand s,
Son of Paris Boule cabinet?"
| could not repress start of aston
ishment.
Are you acting for Armand & SOM"
queried.
Not at all. j, am acting for lady
whom, for the present, we will call
Nine. x"
The thought flashed through my
mind that Nine. X. and the mysterious
Frenchwoman might be one and the
same person. Then 1 put aside the
idea as absurd. Serene Hornblower
would never accept such client.
'Mr. Vantine did buy such a cab
met" I said.
And it is in your possession"
There Is at his residence a Bouie
cabinet which was shipped him from
Paris, but. only few hours before his
death. Mr.. Vantine assured me that
it was not the one he had purchased"
"You mean that a mistake had been
made in the shipment?"
'1That is what we supposed, and a
cablegram from Armand & Son has
since confirmed it."
R"Where is the cabinet which Mr..
4 htine did buy?"
III have no idea. Perhaps it is still
IN Paris. But am expecting repre-
sentative of the Armands to call very
soon to straighten things out"
Again my companion fell silent, and
sat rubbing his chin absently.
1T is very strange" he said finally.
eff the cabinet was still at Paris, one
would think 1t would have been dis
covered before my client made inquiry
about it."
''There are good many things which
are strange about this whole matter"
l supplemented.
would you have any objection to
my client seeing this cabinet, Mr.. Les
teri"
1t was my turn to hesitate.
"Mr. Hornblower" said finally, 81
will be frank with you. There is 8
certain mystery surrounding this cabi-
net which we have not been able to
solve. l suppose you have read of the
mysterious deaths of Mr.. Vantine and
the same room at the Vantine house
and both apparently from the same
cause"
do you mean that this cabinet is
asked quickly.
I'VE believe so, though as vet we
have been able to prove absolutely
nothing. But we are guarding the
cabinet very closely. l should not OBJ
1ect to your client seeing it, but could
not permit her to touch it-not, at
least, without knowing why she wish
ed to do so. You will remember that
you have told me nothing of why she
is interested in it."
II am quite ready to tell you the
story, Mr. Lester" he said. 1T is only
fair that ! should do so. After you
have heard il, if you agree, we will

SEVERE BRONCHIAL COUGH
Doctors Feared Lung Trouble,
Restored to Health by Vinol.

The medical profession does not be-
lieve that lung troubles are inherited,
but person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to them.
Mrs. Kate Hickman, Springfield,
Ohio, says; "A few years ago l was
in a very bad run down condition, and
the physician told me / had consump-
tion. | tried another physician, and
he told me | had ulcers on my right
lung. | quit the physicians and start
ed on 'Ninol.' To-day ! am perfectly
healthy, and that is why ! recommend
'Ninol.'"
Ninol soothes and heals the in
famed surfaces and allays the cough.
Vinol creates an appetite, strengthens
the digestive organs and gives the pa
jent strength to throw off incipient
pulmonary diseases.
Try "a bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be

Thousands of Fruit Trees
Planted in York County
Special TO The Telegraph

Dillsburg, Pa, April 20. - Many
thousands of peach and other fruit
trees are being planted this week in
Monaghan township. Levi NJ. Myers
has planted 1000 peach trees on his
farms and he now has 160 acres
planted with that fruit. With the eX-
ception of the 1900 trees just planted
all are of a bearing age and at the
present time the prospects are for an
exceptionally large yield this year.
Apple trees are being planted in large
numbers. a great many of the fruit
growers plant the apple and peach
trees in alternate rows, as the life of
a peach tree is only from four to six
years, and when these are removed
the apple trees begin to bear, thus
saving the use of the same ground for
the length of time, and at the same
time the apple do not hinder the
peach trees.
