AN ATLANTA WOMAN
GETS TRANP'S ESTATE
PROPERTY VALUED AT $4,000
LEFT HER BY HOBO SHE BE-
FRIENDED YEARS AGO.
BREAD COMES BACK BUTTFRED

Has Received Travelling Expenses in
Advance, and Has Legal Assurance
1t Will Not Be Wild Goose Chase.
Estate Is at Miami, Florida.
ATLANTA, Ga.-Mrs. James Ma
ner, living in an Atlanta suburb on
the Marietta car line, will leave this
week for Miami, Fla, to inspect a
legacy valued at $4,000 left her by
a tramp.
Such an occurrence does not lend
itself readily to the fancy, but this
time fancy will have to buck up and
remember that truth is stranger
than fiction. The legacy is actually
there-not only that, but Mrs. Ma
ner has received her travelling ex-
penses in advance and legal assur-
ance that her trip will not be a wild
goose chase.
Eight years ago." she says, "a
man came limping into our front
yard. He looked like tramp, and
then again he didn't look like a
tramp. His clothing was ragged and
worn and he was limping from an
injury to his foot, and yet he didn't
have the manners of tramp, II you
could call them manners.
1.-The man was penniless, he said,
and in trouble. / felt sorry for him.
l took hiIa in and gave him some
dinner and then 10 cents to pay his
way to Atlanta on the trolley line.
He seemed very appreciative and in
sisted on taking my name and adj
dress down in a little book. "
1t seems from the sequel that che
tramp didn't lose the little book"
and after eight years back came the
bread which had been cast upon the
waters, only it was multiplied to a
fold entirely out of step with scrip
tural precedent.

THE FAMOUS ORGAN IN
MORMON TEMPLE WILL GO
Sig Music Box Has Been Chased
With Wonders of the World.

The famous old pipe organ in the
Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City
is to be torn down within the next
month. The big music box has been
classed with wonders of the world
and has pleased the ears of more
people than any other instrument in
the United States. 1t has outlived its
usefulness and is to give way to a
new and larger instrument.
The Mormon church has just con-
tracted to dismantle the Tabernacle
pipe organ and install in it's place a
tremendous instrument of 1874 speak
ing stops. The new organ will cost
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The big pipe organ in Festival Hall
at the Panama-Pacific exposition has
124 speaking stops and cost 100000.
The famous Mormon organ was
built by Mormon workmen.

COTTON IS GUNPOWDER
THE GERMANS SHOOT AWAY 800
TONS OF STAPLE A DAY,
Military Expert Says Half That Has
Been Exported to That Country
Used for Making Ammunition.


Hilaire Belloc, one of the foremost
military writers in Europe, in an ar
ticle in Hearsts Sunday American
says:
Everyone by this time knows, in
a general way, that cotton is gun
powder, yet cotton was for a time
allowed to go freely into Germany
through the blockading Gordon;
which is exactly as though guns and
submarines and consignments of
shell had been allowed to get through
the Gordon, save for the difference
that Germany and Austria-Hungary
can, at a certain rate, make guns and
shells and submarines, whereas for
cotton they are absolutely dependent
upon supplies from over the sea
that is, upon the good will of Great
Britain among the allies.
There are probably in Germany
now in reserve 100000 bales of cot
ton. 1t is doubtful whether Austria
has any reserve. Supposing, there
fore, that all supplies from neutrals
in Europe and all supplies from over
sea were stopped the Teutonic forces
would presumably have to fall back
upon rather less than 500, 100000
pounds, or, in round numbers, 25O,-
600 tons of cotton.
1t is believed that hitherto they
have used about half their cotton i'm
ports for textile fabrics and about
half for making what l shall call their
gunpowder.

STUDY GEORGIA'S
CONVICT SYSTEM
Committee From Alabama Legisla-
ture Visit This State and Look
Into Convict Regulations.

ATLANTA. With a view to ascer-
tanning the advantages, both human
itarian and economic, brought about
in Georgia by the abolition of the old
system of leasing convicts and the
installation of a new system of work
ing them on the public roads two
members of the Alabama legislature
composing a special commission for
this purpose have visited Atlanta.
The members of this commission
were Senator J. T. benson and Rep
resentative Geo. H. Smith. They call
ed at the offices of the state prison
commission and spent some time in
curing into the operations of the
reform system which went into effect
several years ago.
Friday these Alabama legislators,
accompanied by Prison Commissioner
E. L. Rainey, made an inspection OF
the convict camps in Fulton and
Campbell counties and also the road
work now in progress. They will
submit their report to the Alabama
legislature in July.
There is a strong movement in AL
ALBANIA in favor of following Georgia's
lead in abohshing the old system OF
leasing convicts. A number of other
states have already done this.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Here's one for
the man to ponder who really be-
lieves that the young girls OF today
are lust as refined as their mothers
and grandmothers were.
Twenty years ago when the great
Mark Twain, addressing the gradu-
ting class of a young women's sem
mary advised the fair girl graduates
not to drink and gamble it was re-
garded as one of the richest and most
amusing pieces of humor he ever per
~otrated. He meant it as JOKE AT
that time it was a joke, and a gooa
one.

GEORGIA COTTON ACREAGE
REDUCED TWENTY PER CENT
Commissioner Price Says He Has In
formation to That Effect.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Ag-
riculture Price stated today that from
information which the department
has received from all sections of the
state he conservatively estimates that
the cotton acreage in Georgia has
been reduced this year by twenty per
cent. There are some indications
that it might be little more than
this, but he says he has no doubt it
will fully reach that figure. Similar
reductions, he says, have been made,
according to information, in practi-
cally all of the other cotton growing
states with the exception of Okla
homa and Texas, in which there are
indications of full crops.
