ON TRAIL OF GRAIN THIEF.

The theft of grain is becoming
an every day occurrence in this state
and we have one in Phillips county.
Last week the theft Of a large
amount of flax from a farmer up
north was reported to the sheriff,
who has been busy the past week
gathering evidence and he expects to
make an arrest in a few days. The
crime has been thoroughly investi-
gated and they have sufficient evil
dence to put the thief where he will
not bother with a load or two of flax
again oon Stealing grain is a very
hard thing to cover up and the sooner
it is stopped the better off the COM
munity will be. It looks bad when a
mar sells several loads more than he
had threshed out.-Malta Enterprise.

your time hunting for a perfect fuel.

ALLIES MAY BUILD.
TUNNELL UNDER SEA-.

PARIS, Aug. 29.-France has taken
all the necessary steps to enter into
negotiations with England to build
jointly tunnel under the English
channel to connect the two countries,
the long-talked of project which the
war has revived because it has demon
strated as nothing else could the value
of the tube to both countries.
Had the tunnel been in existence
during the present conflict it would
have been of Unreasonable value to
England and France for the transpor-
tation of troops and supplies and woulG
have liberated French and British war
vessels from one of their biggest
tasks.
The rlans were outlined by M. Sar-

way Company, who is one of the

THE tunnel will cost 100000
pounds, half of which would be borne
by England and half by France. Each
country would bore one half of the
tunnel. Well Britain is spending just
now 100000 pounds per day and
France 100000 pounds SO that two
days wartime expenditure of both
countries would more than cover the
cost of making the tunnel.
1T is proposed to make two tunnels,
one for traffic from France to England,
another for traffic from England to
France. Some people seem to think \

POLICE RUN LITTLE !.
OF LIQUORS OUT

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 29-As result
of the activities of the police in run
ming down the agents of out-of-state
liquor houses who were supplying the
trade with liquor, Atlantians who feel
an occasional need for a drink will
probably be dry for few days until
the furry has subsidized.
OF course, they will not entirely
famish, since the state prohibition law
permits an individual to order two
quarts of whiskey within a period OF
thirty days, but ordering in compli-
ance with the terms and conditions OF
the state prohibition law is not an al
together satisfactory method of secur-
ing ones self a drink.
One must present himself in person
at the express Office, identify himself,
make an affidavit that he is 81 years
of age and a person of temperate hab-
its, and swear that he has not ordered
two quarts of whiskey within the last
thirty days. After going thus into de-
tail concerning his identity, habits,
personal history, ETC., he secures his
little shipment and goes his way, but
record of the transaction forthwith
goes to the ordinary's Office and be-
comes the property Of the public.
Hence the average man would much
prefer to get his liquor by some other
method whenever possible, and that is
precisely what they are doing in At
lanta.
Now that the police have rudely in
terfered, at least for the present, with
the efficient little system perfected by
the agents-who got the liquor into
the city and delivered it direct to Gus
toners, using negroes to order it and
sign for it at the express office-moon-
shine corn bids fair to become even
more popular than it is already This
product, made in the mountains Of
north Georgia and transported to At
lanta in wagons and automobiles, es-
capes the red tape wrapped aroun
shipments from out of the state, and
because of the greatest ease in secur-
ing it, has become quite a much-used
drink.

uNCR0WNED QUEEN.
OF GREECE IS DEAD.

- -
ATHENS, GREECE, Aug. 29.-sophis
Tricoupis, one of the most remarkable
women of modern Greece, is dead. She
had been termed THE Uncrowned
Queen of Greece" an application fully
warranted by the facts, for it is doubt
full if even the Empress Eugenia ever
exercised so much direct control over
the destinies of France as this woman
did over the fate of modern Greece.
She was daughter of Spyridon Tri.
coupis, the first premier of free Greece,
and the sister of Harilaos Triconpis,
who during the last quarter of the
nineteenth century completely domin-
ated Greek politics. AS child she
made the acquaintance of Lord Byron,
who was familiar friend in her faith
er's house and it was her father who
pronounced the funeral address over
the coffin of the English poet. Her
youth was passed in London, where
her father was Greek Minister, but
on the entry of her brother into the
political arena, she returned to Athens
and took up her place at his side. Nor
did she ever leave him, remaining I'M
married, she devoted her entire time to
aiding him in his political work and
in looking after his personal comfort.
A woman of striking appearance, she
was the more conspicuous by the face
that she never changed the style OF
her clothing from the date OF the death
of her father in 1873. She retained
even the early Victorian fashion Of
doing her hair and in her later years
resembled nothing so much as a
daguerreotype come to life. The house
which she and her brother occupied
was very small one but in spite OF
that, some of the most distinguished
political figures of the nineteenth cen
fury passed through its drawing room.
The present Emperor of Russia,
Edward VII. and Queen Alexandra or
England, King Christian TX. of Den
mark were only a few of those who
were the guests of this remarkable wo
man.
But her relations with the disting
Iuished visitors to Greece were wholly
political. She had no social ambitions
and the ordinary balls and social
gatherings of Athens never saw her.
She was not only the inspiration but
the active co-worker of her brother,
and knew quite as much about poll
tics as did he and it was frequently to
Madam Sophie" as she was called
that those who had some political pro-
.posal to make addressed themselves
rather than to the Minister himself.
With the death of her brother, how
ever, she ceased all political activity
and retired to a secluded life which
she permitted nothing to disturb. She
vas over eighty years old when she
died.
Appendicitis was the cause of her
death, on July 26. Her body was in
tered in the vault beside that of hes'
distinguished brother, she being clad
only in shroud. According to her
wishes there was not even coffin, and
no one present at the funeral save
the members of her immediate family.
