Both the young prosecutor and Andrews
gave emphasis to the bold accusation by
rising, the former as part of n custom
in dramatic moments and the latter from
actual amazement for he was not aware
that Lumley was even dead.
The prisoner was petrhed His eyes
shifted uneasily. He tottered on his feet
and grew pale. With an almost super.
human effort the man succeeded In mas.

him. and not a word came from his mouth
He clutched at the desk to steady himself
and took refuge in sullty silence.
The shrewd investigator had lost in his
attempt to break down 6S.with the power
of direct accusation. All hope for inimedi-
ate success had vanished when the man
overcame his momentary weakness COM
petely, and gruffly said. 'T know my
rights. l will say nothngs."
4 few moments after, two deputy mar.
shals took charge of the prisoner and led
him away to an iron boudoir in the
Tombs.
When the man now conclusively estab.
llshed as 6S by his own admission had
departed, Andrews asked of the Secret

The Question Box

Dear Farmer Smith-How many strings
has a violin and what are the names OF
them? Is the violin very hard to learn
to play? CATHARINE FRAZIER,
South 10th street.
A violin has four strings. They are
the f. A, d and G strings. The violin
is said by many to be the hardest of all
instruments to learn to play. However
If a little girl makes up her mind that
she WILL learn. and II she is willing TO
practice hard in order TO accomplish this
purpose, there Is every reason for her to
hope to become a skilful player.

Fertilizing Garden

Dig in and mix with the soil a liberia

fresh stable manure In the spring but us,
II literally in November. Use CHECKER
manure sparingly, as It is very strong and
liable to burn the plants.

Watering

Too much water is damage to flower

indicates that they need IT, By this treat
ment you will produce more compact
plants that will bloom more freely.

ing insects on the street several days
ago. One Of them was genuine boil
wcevil which his brother had sent him
from Texas several years ago. This he
had kept tightly bottled up since that
time. The other was an insect some
what resembling an ant or mosquito
though larger than either. In fact 1t
had about reached the bug" class I'm
like any other insect which The Ad-

1t before ana for that reason had pre-
served it in order to find out If posi-
bic to what family it belonged and
whether or not it was injurious to

We have very little doubt but that
an investigation into all the ailidavitS
which Mr.. Richcy ncld at the meeting
of the State executive committee when
he With five other BlcaSeitcS refused
TO acquicsc in the nomination OF Gov.
Manning for governor would show up
about like the affidavit in reference to
DR.. Mock, Of Piedmont, which is ey-
naincd in another affidavit published
today While Dr., Mock really admits
to a technical violation CT the law,
what he did was in accord with too
common custom in this state, employ
Ing people 10 work for onc candidate
or another. L is very likely that a
large majority Of the candidates in the
recent election did for themselves just
what DR.. Mock did for GOV. Manning.
While the practice is open to criticism
it is participated in by most candidates
and parties and furnishes no reason
able ground for protest from either
side.

eventually to have highway along
this route from Augusta to Green

the county supervisor or county com

probability they will give the matter
very serious consideration before
accepting Mr. Eicgals offer. The
