"And I'll bring the count and Drew
with me. Miss Travis"
Just look at the crowd" June ex-
claimed with delight, as their car
turned into the drive leading to the
hotel. This is going to be the best
dance of the season."
An attendant in livery helped them
from the car. June took hold of Mary's
hand and helped her up the steps.
Just don't you let me catch you

wickedly in the old woman's ear; and

Halfway down the pier, on her way
back to the beach, June turned to look
seward There was nothing to

Their loud, agitated dialogue drifted
out to her family. She caught the
words, Which way? Find her!"
A wave, a little heavier than the
rest, swished noisily under the pier.
Something knocked against one of the
piles. June turned in sudden fear.
She saw the ends of a perpendicular,
wooden ladder showing above the
edge of the stringpiece.
Bending over, she noted that an
empty rowboat was tied fast just be-
low her. She descended, united the
painter and pushed away from the side
of the pier. Then, dropping on to the
rowers seat, she adjusted the oars
and pulled with long, easy strokes.
When she felt that she was at a
safe distance, she rested on her oars
and looked toward the shore.

Brunswick Mr.. Houser is one of the
warmest advocates for the proposed
new county of Peach, and gives the
following figures for the consideration
If the public generally and the mem
oers of the legislature:
The new county of peach is to be

will be taken from Macon county,
leaving that county larger than fifty
odd counties in the state and 225 miles
rom Houston, leaving that county an
area of approximately 400 square miles
larger than IS counties; the new coun-

the state.
The incorporated towns in the new
county will be Byron, Marshallville,
and Fort Valley with the latter the
county seat.
1t will leave Houston county with
population of 10000, Macon county

zen thousand population and with
property valuation of nearly three mil

FOUR HURT in AUTO UPSET.

cambridge, June 19.-What came
very near being tragedy involving
"a half-doZen lives occurred four miles
from here last midnight, when a Ford
automobile turned turtle with its oc,
cupants. They were returning from a
party in the lowest part of the county
when, upon rounding curve, they
plunged into~a bank of sand and
gravel by the side of the road.
Aid was summoned from cambridge
and it was found that Miss Leslie Nor,
man, of Moultrie, had received serious
injuries to her spine. She is now in a
local hospital. Miss Clyde Phillips, of
Pelham, and Miss Evelyn Smith, of
Branchville, were painfully bruised.
Roy Rackley and lump Cochran, of
Pelham, escaped unhurt, while E
Harrell, of cambridge, who was driv-
ng~the car, received a broken arm.
1t was some time before help reached
hem and those of the more seriously
injured suffered greatly in the mean
time. Harrell states that he was driv.

FEDERAL PRISON EXPERT
IN MUSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Atlanta, June 20.-Atlanta's high
brow musicians are in danger of be-
ing overshadowed by the band and or
chestra at the United States peniten-
tiary, which has become one of the
most popular musical organizations in
the city.
The concert in the prison auditorium
every Sunday afternoon is given to a
packed house, and seats are in great
er demand than those of any other
musical performance in the city with
the exception of grand opera.
The fact that the prisoner players en-
joy such an enyiable popularity is no
reflection whatever on the other mu-
sicians in Atlanta, for the prison play
ers are artists of the very first rank.
One of them is a light-haired, sandy
mustached young fellow who looks as
harmless as any individual to be found
in a days journey; but it was this
young man who held up single-handed
the officers and crew of a British
steamer on the way to New York.
His name is Ernest Schiller, and he
is the young German who was arrest
ed in New York and sentenced to a
term in the federal prison by the Uni
ted States court in that city.

GEORGIA PRODUCES LARGE
OUTPUT OF FIBRE ASBESTOS

Atlanta, June 20.-Georgia produces
far more asbestos than any other
state, according to government re-
port that has just been received in AT
lanta. The asbestos is of the imphi-
bole variety and of the mass-fibre type,
in which 80 per cent of the rock quar-
ries appear in the finished product;
it can therefore be produced at much
lower cost than other asbestos. 1t is
all ground and fiberized to practically
one grade suitable for the manufac-
ture of cements, plasters, shingles, and
asbestos lumber There are two COM
panies operating, one with mine near
Cleveland, Ca, and mill at Gaines
Ga, and the other in Atlanta, with its
mine and mill at Hollywood.

That good crops of wheat were pro-
duced this year and splendid yields
have been realized by the farmers of

sections of the county. There are evil
dences also of more extensive diversi-
fication of crops, the growing of more
grain crops, more hogs, and more cat

are hedging against the approach of
the boil weevil and have more general
ly adopted the Give at home" plan.
W. E. Maddox, who lives eight miles
east of Cordele in the Listonia settle
ment, states that farming conditions in
that section are splendid. Wheat and
other grain crops this year. he says,
are unusually larger. A larger acreage
has been planted in grain crops than
ever before and the yields have been
good. The section around Listonia is
one OF the communities that has not
suffered materially from the lack OF
rain.
Rufus James, of the Raines settle
ment, was here Tuesday and
states that farming conditions in that
section were never better. His report
further bears out the statement that
more wheat is being grown in the coun
ty than ever before, and that the farm
ers are practicing Investigation and
the raising of hogs and cattle as they
have not done at least for the pas
twenty five years.
We've found the charms of farm
life all that they were ever pictured
to be and the Georgia melon as lus
cious as it was ever described, during

ons have been plentiful, but we've

of this crop and are now making pre-

CONTINUE TO GROW

Atlanta, June 21.-Normal sunshine,
abundant moisture, and moderate tenn
peratures gave almost ideal weather
conditions for growing crops during
the past week, but rain is still needed
in Immediate coast districts, and in
a few sections showers were frequent
enough to interfere somewhat with
work and crops are getting little
grassy. The nights were quite cool III
the northern part of the state. Corn
and cotton continue to grow rapidly
and corn is being laid by in the south
ern portion. Sweet potatoes are do
ing we'll and are beginning to run.
Hay is making good growth. Vegeta-
bles in the market are abundant and
of good quality. Shipments of peaches
and melons continue slowly.

Henderson comes in two days. He
will join the club in COrdele Friday
and will bring a number of new &C
QUESTIONS with him. The game from
the viewpoint of the fans and from
the standpoint of the players is eX-
pected to assume some new aspects
as result of his coming. The fans
have been looking to his coming as a
turning point in the playing of the
team, and he will probably meet all
expectations.
With number of Henderson's Geor-
gia men playing with him, sufficient
to keep thoroughly alive the ginger
and cooperative effort characteristic
of college ball, there is no reason why
team work of the club should not
reach a satisfying point within a few
days. There's no getting around the
fact that Hendersons coming and with
the improvement of the twirling staff
where needed, Cordele will have as
fast a team as there is in the big A."
