his appointments were such as to IA
cilitate the experiments and research
work which he pursued and which
won for him many scientific honors.
He then served for some time as
controller of the navy, being thus re-
sponsible for the material of the navy

ships.

the new Naval War College at Ports
mouth, being transferred after two
years to the post of chief of the war

AMSTERDAM, June 12.-Potsdam,
Heilbron and other German towns

an equestrian monument of the Knight
of the Iron Hand, while other cities
have erected colossal figures of Gag
les, peasants, and characters from
German folk lore and mythology.
In the case of the Potsdam monu-
ment subscribers of ten cents to the
war charity gund may drive one iron

BOSS OF ENGLISH NAVY
ONCE ASSOCIATED WITH
WIRELESS DISCOVERER

new sea lord is younger by fourteen
years than his predecessor. He en-
tered the navy in 1868 and at first
specialized in navigation. But the
possibilities of the torpedo, which had
only been invented in a very crude
form in 1866, exercises a fascination
over him, and he soon transferred to
that branch of the service.
The only vessel on which he ever
served as navigating officer was an
old battleship, to which he was ap-
pointed on the same day as young
lieutenant, John Jellicoe, now COM
mander in chief Of the war staff.
Specializing in torpedoes, Admiral
Jackson attained wide knowledge,

a modern ship is responsible for the
efficiency of the whole of the electrical
equipment of the vessel. 1t was in
1891 that the idea of employing Hart
zain waves as a means of communica-
tion first suggested itself to him. At
that time the navy was seeking for
some method by which a torpedo boat
could announce it's approach to a
friendly ship. For four years he
continued hs experiments in wireless
communication. Though the necessl-
ties of the service have prevented the
full story of his work being given to
the world, it is known that at the end
of that time he had succeeded in send
ing messages from one end of the
ship to the other without wires. About
this time, he met Marconi, and the
two became close friends, mutually
assisting each other in developing
their ideas and schemes.
Sir Henry remained responsible for
the progress of wireless telegraphy in
the navy until 1905, when he became

At about this time every year, some

flock in this direction.
Americus people should not extend
sympathy to persons who do not de-
serve it. Hard luck tales ere easy to
think up, and there are many men who
have practiced their distressing stor-
les so long that they actually believe
the thrilling stories they tell of acci-
dent, disease, suffering, hunger, thirst,
and the loss of job after job on ac-
count of the war, while only the thirst
rcrtion of their tale probably is real
ly true.
While there is sympathy with men
who wish to work but cannot find
employment, or are physically un-
able to work, there should be none
for professional beggars, or for
able-bodied men who will not work,
even if the opportunity is offered to

$3.50 REWARD IS
MADE FOR SLAYER
Of C.b. GILMORE

MOULTRIE, Ca, Nov. ga reward
cf two hundred and fifty dollars for
the arrest and delivery to the sheriff
of Colquitt county of Albert Naples,
alleged slayer of c. B. Gilmore, late
county warden, has been offered by
the moard OF commissioners of Col
quit county.
The clerk of the commissioners
was instructed to write Governor
Harris and ask that he supplement the
reward by an equal or larger sum. 1t
is believed that he will do so and that
q reward of at least five hundred dol
lars will soon be outstanding for the
capture of the former convict guard.
In the meantime Sheriff Boyd con-
tinues his search for Naples. Since
the news reached Moultrie Tuesday af-
ternoon, that Gilmore had been shot
the sheriff has done everything pos
sible to capture his assailant He
hasn't been beating the bushes and
keeping a whole lot of useless noise
going, but he has been pursuing the
alleged slayer along intelligent lines.
A description of Naples has been
sent to all of the cities in this sec
tion and now since large reward has
been offered for his arrest his capture
seems more assured.
C. B. Gilmore, the dead man, was
buried Friday morning at Americus.
The funeral services were conducted
from the residence of Deputy Sheriff
Lucius Harvey, brother-in-law of the
deceased. Rev. E. M. overly, of Moul-
