MYSTERY CONTINUE
SURROUND MOVES
AMERICAN STEAMER.
PRESENCE, CLEARANCE AND
DEPARTURE OF THE VESSEL
WHICH WAS HERE INCITING
MANY INTO INVESTIGATION.

Several unexplainable events were
said to have attached themselves to
the presence, clearance and depar-
ture of the American steamship Zea-
landia, and even after the vessel left
here it became known that one thing
after another made up for her real
title of mystery ship.
Coming into port on Sunday aft
ernoon she was anchored in the
stream and then early ON Monday
vas locked at Muscogee wharf for
cargo. This consisted of 5000 gauge
barrels of rosin, and LOO tons of
coal. She was cleared after hours
and got away last Sunday. That was
the end of the vessels history here,
except that when she arrived and had
been here few days libel for foun-
dry work was served hut this was
quickly settled, or at least the steam
er was allowed to proceed under bond,
which she had no trouble IN making.
After hours Saturday she was
cleared for Tampico, Mexico, with
LOO tons of coal, and for Malmo,
Sweden, with 5000 gauge barrels of
rosin. There are few now here who
are close to the situation, who be-
Ieve either shipment will ever reach
its destination. Just what they do be-
lieve, they are not willing to speak
out.

explosive. When the torpedo is re-
leased from its hangar underneath an
aeroplane or dirigible the torpedo
will glide, accurately directed by the
wireless device, at speed of from
$50 to 200 miles an hour. Colored
lights in the tail of the torpedo show
its course in the wark.

A Russian air has this suit of navy
broadcloth. 1t is trimmed with differ
ent widths of black silk braid and a
wide silk girdle and pendant tassel.
The three marks of individuality are
the bell shaped sleeves, the dipping
tunic and the high "crush" collar. The
black buttons are novelty barrel
shaped.

Sage green broadcloth develops
this charming design. The high belt,
buckling in its lower lap, and crochet
buttons finish the bodice, which has q
tucked yoke of white georgette Grape.

since you came to Bronson" Roland
Gregory arose and tried to push the
editor out Of the door,
Reginald Nelson shook himself free,
took a typewriter paper out Of his
pOcAet and placed it on the desk before
the other. Gregory read the paper
quickly. 1t was a written renuncia-
ton of his claim on Joy Graham.
Il want you to sign that and sign it
at once" said Reginald determinedly.
Roland Gregory reached into his hip
pocket, and before Reginald under
stood his purpose he had drawn a re-
volver and pointed it squarely at the
the editor.
IF can't have Joy Graham neither
can you," he Kissed. with an oath.
Roland Gregory fired.
The editor reeled and fell unc0n-
scious. Gregory turned the gun upon
himself.
A noise was heard outside, and in q
moment Allan Rutledge rushed into
the office. The minister had come to
the Tribune Office to invite the editor
to lunch and was told that he had left
for the Office of Roland Gregory. Fear
ing the result of the interview, Allan
Rutledge had hurried after Reginald
and arrived outside the Office in time
to hear the two pistol shots.
Hastily examining the two bodies
and saying to himself in horror, Dead;
both dead"' he FASTENED &c the tele-
phone. In few moments the police
patrol dashed up to the factory Allan
Rutledge hastily told the chief what he
knew about the letter which he found
lying on the floor, which pointed so
plainly to Roland Gregory as the guilty
man in the Mae Mobray tragedy.
Il was not here in time to know what
passed between the two men," declared
Allan Rutledge, "but it IS evident that
the craZed wretch first shot Mr.. Nelson
and then ended his own life"
DR.. Gracely arrived
"They are both still alive" he declar-
ed after a cursory examination, and
then he added: "Mr. Gregory is fatal
~ wounded. l think Mr. Nelson is
only stunned"
Tie doctor soon looked up, saying
quickly: at is all right, Mr. Rutledge.
It is only a scalp wound. The bullet
glanced off the bone"
In little while Reginald opened his
eyes and stared around him. He saw
the dark stream of blood on the floor
"Where is he?" he asked in a hollow
voice
Gle killed himself" responded Allan
Rutledge quietly. 1T was a miracle
your life was saved"

Bronson is q different city now from
The one that heard Billy Sunday preach

mayor, the old gang of councilmen has
been disrupted. The great power there
now is the Daily Courier-Tribune, edi-

good fight and won, and Joy Graham
now his wife, is great aid in running
the paper.
joys father finally decided to join
the church, having the mistakes Of his
own life made clear by the violent
death of Roland Gregory. He it was
who enabled Reginald to combine the
Courier with the Tribune.

by the way" said Mrs. Rutledge,
II saw Mrs. Mobray yesterday morn
ing. and she asked me about that ring
which she gave me long time ago.
what ring?" said Allan Rutledge.
"The ring which Mrs Mobray found
on the finger Of Mae after her death.
You remember / gave it to you"
"Ohw exclaimed the minister. II re-
member. | had forgotten in some way
altogether about it." He took out
the gold band which he had laid in the
drawer the evening previous to the
| midnight tour of Bronson.
II shall attend to this at once" he
said, taking the ring and laying it on
his desk.
That morning he sent letter to
;ewelry firm in Chicago, inclosing the
ring and asking them to trace, If pos
sible, the buyer.
In two weeks he received a letter, re-
turning the ring and giving as the
name Of the buyer a prominent citizen
in Bronson.
Allan Rutledge read the name and
gasped, Can it be possible?'
And when Reginald Nelson was
shown the letter he was amazed as
well. The ring found on the dead
girls hand was purchased by Roland
Gregory
The Tribune had inaugurated a Sc
ries of articles on the industrial condi-
tons in Bronson One Of them showed
the deplorable affairs in Gregory's fac
tory. Roland consulted Mr. Graham,
who. however, decided not to bring a
libel suit for him.
Roland Gregory had been drinking
somewhat that day, and he left the
office of Mr.. Graham in no pleasant
mood After visiting his club, where
he fortified himself with few more
glasses, he wendell his way to the
Tribune Office.
Good morning, Mr.. Gregory" said
Reginald. He wondered at the visit,
for lie was soon to confront Roland
with his knowledge Of the MObray
girls ring. The marriage of Roland
and Joy now seemed impossible. Il
hope you like Bronson's new paper"
he added.
"To HI with your paper! replied
the other fiercely. what do you mean
by sending a spy to my factory to
sneak around and find out about my
private affairs?'
"If | have Overstepped my rights as
an editor the law courts are open," de-
clared Reginald firmly.
I'll soon have you in court" shout
ed the other, attempting to strike the
editor in the face. Reginald saw that
his visitor was partially intoxicated.
He warded off the blow which Roland
Gregory aimed at him and seized him
by the collar. Shaking him roughly,
the editor marched the helpless manu-
facturer before him out of his private
office and gave him push into the
street
After a talk with Mr.. Rutledge that
night about Gregory and Mae Mo
brays ring Reginald called at Roland
Gregory's office.
"What Go you want, sir?" asked Ro-
land Gregory, with a surprised frOWn
at Reginald as he entered.
"Have you ever seen that ring be-
fore?" Reginald handed the ring
which Allan Rutledge had given him
to Joy Graham's fiance as he spoke.
Roland Gregory started as he saw
the ring. Roland took the ring and

MAKING READY FOR
THE BOIL WEEv|l
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College OF Agriculture

The fight against the boil weevil
itself, of course, belongs essentially to
the State Board of Entomology and
the State Department of Agriculture,
where the quarantine and general reg
ulatory power resides for the control
of insect pests, but the State College
of Agriculture, through it's extension
and demonstration agents, is ready to
do its part in meeting the problems
arising.
At a meeting held at Macon for the
purpose of organizing campaign for
better farming, the College enlisted
its forces and is in accord with the
resolutions passed, which are as fol-
lows:
Resolved: That we approve the
campaign on boil weevil inaugurated
by the State Board of Entomology, and
urge the active cooperation OF the
State Department of Agriculture, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, the State College of AgricM-
ture, the State Agricultural Society,
the Farmers Union and other farm
ers' and business organizations with
in the state.
Resolved: That this committee rec
ommend that the State Chamber OF
Commerce furnish the expenses Of
business man from boil weevil terrific
ry to organize and instruct the bust
ness men of their duties in fighting the
boil weevil. This man to be selected
by the directors of the campaign.
Resolved: That under the leader
ship of the Extension Forces in CO.
operation with all other state agen-
cies engaged in farm improvement
work, better farming campaign be in
augurated in the counties Immediately
in advance of the boil weevil, gradual
ly extending this to all sections OF the
State. This campaign to begin as soon
VI dCIlSdDlC, dAICI tAC NAOoC Va SAO
boil weevil campaign, in which better
farming, adequate markets and better
credit be urged
THAT the agricultural forces of the
state take charge of the better farm
ing campaign, and in connection there
with the Chamber of Commerce and
bankers and business mems organiZa-
lions take hold of the campaign for
markets, credit and organizing the
business interests in this work.
The effectiveness of the Smith-Lever
and demonstration funds become very
apparent in emergencies like this. The
demonstration agent who is on the
ground is prepared to put into effect
the best advice that the campaigns,
or expert scientists in general have
to offer, in fact they are very pres
ent help in the time of trouble.
