ATLANTA, Ca, Aug 1S.-Leo NJ.
Franks last act was to try to write
10 his wife. That much became known
today for a certainty. He made no
confession. That also is a certainty.
Further than these two essential facts,
the story Of his actions between the
time he was taken from the state
prison farm at Milledgeville and hang
ed TO a tree near Marietta are still
shrouded in considerable mystery and
the doomed mans behavior during the
last few hours of his life will probably
never be known except TO those who
were in the automobile with him.
Whether he was too nervous or
write TO his wife or whether the mob
refused his request is not known. The
statement has simply gotten round
that "he tried 10 write to his wife,
and there IL stops. That II Is authen-

1t was a sore disappointment
to us all last Sunday not to have
with us our expected visitor, DR..
Langston. He was held away
from us on account of some
very important work in another
part OF the state. We hope he
can come the latter part of the
summer or early fall.
Another great big surprise by
some of our folks at Liberty
Hill The Sunbeam Band de-
cided they must give us a
pounding. After the Saturday
afternoon services were over
the leader of the Band informed
us that her little folks had us a
box to bring to our home. Of
course we were obedient, took
the box, brought it home on our
buggy, and on examination
found il contained .Iots- of nice.
things, both for the table and
pantry. among other things a
real nice chicken ready dressed
for the pot or pan. We shall
not enumerate ali the good
things our little friends gave us,
but they certainly have our pro-
foundest gratitude in this unex.
pected and undeserved mark of
appreciation of us. Best of all
to know that they thought of
us.
Perhaps it would be we'll to
announce that DR.. Langston
would be with us often, as we
had such a large congregation
at both services at Pageland.
Also a good congregation at
Liberty Hill in the afternoon,
Glad to have so many IN all
these services.
1t seems strange to us that any
member of any church should
fail to commune with his or her

On Financing Railroads

sioners
Managing a railroad Is quite differ
ent from managing a government
where the money is raised by taxa
tion. When the expenditures, for
good reasons or otherwise, increase,
taxes can be equally increased. The
railroads, while servants of the pub
lie, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
incomes, their rates being fixed by
public authorities.
There is not a railway manager In
the country today who Is not fearful
that under the press Of increasing de-
mands the transportation systems of
the country will, in a few years, break
down, unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds wherewith to
build It up. There are vast sections
OF the country, especially in the West.
where more railroads are needed and
they cannot be built unless the rail-
ways raise new capital
People invest money in order to
make money, and they are skeptical
as to whether they can make money
by investing in concerns that are dealt
with stringently and unfairly. Rail
road securities must be made more
attractive to invite investments, and
in order that they may be made more
attractive, the roads must be allowed
earnings that will enable them to
meet the increased capital charges"

hail Insurance in Strong Com

The Home Fire Insurance
company, of New York, The
strongest company of the kind
in the country has added a line
of hail insurance for crops to
their business and the Pageland
Insurance and Realty Company
has the agency for this company.
Hail insurance heretofore has
not been very satisfactory
for the reason that only small
or local companies carried it,
and in case Of general destruc-
ton. the company could not
pay the damage and remain in
bssiness. This strong company,
with millions capital, can pay
for all the damage that is likely
to occur in several states, how
ever, and anyone who insures
his crop against hail with this
company may feel sure that the
company will be able to pay
the damage. The cost IS small
and nearly every man can have
his crop protected by insurance
if he will. Mr.. A. +. Funder-
burk will be glad to discuss the
matter with you and quote you
