SEVENTH INSTALL
"SPIKE'S AWAKENING"

Resolved to get completely away
from the constant Interruptions in his
work, Amos Rhinelander replaced his
burned camp with outfit cars and
moved at once to the end of his con-
struction work, now we'll advanced on
the desert.
The new equipment was as complete
as money and energy could suggest.
And no sooner were the cars out on
a spur at Baird-near the end of the
new line-than linemen were busy
making telegraphic connections for
them with the Tidewater system. The
moment the wiring was done Storm
suggested the first message over the
new line ought to go to Helen, who
had now been transferred from Signal
to Las Vegas, division station below
Baird. Rhinelander was pleased with
the suggestion and Storm wrote out a
telegram. The operator sounded
HeIen's CALL and after a moment an
nounced she was on the wire taking
Storms message. It read:
RhneIander says contracts on Num-
Der Nineteen. Bring them up Sunday.
Storm will meet train here and drive
you over to camp.
Seagrue, during this time, had al
ready made counterdispositiOns to
meet Rhinelander's arrangements and
had established a secondary headquar.

trOlled an icing concession.
Spike had been laggard in following
Seagrue up the line as directed, and
the latter sent as many unpleasant
messages as he could to Oceanside,
where Spike was in retreat. But as
Seagrues continuing summons grew
moro and more peremptory Spike was
obliged to take notice and get under
way for the desert himself.
Leaving Oceanside the night after a
carouse, he woke next morning as the
train was pulling into a desert town
strange to his eyes. Somewhat mud

Ognize his surroundings, he asked a

most commodities reached their high

Civil War prices with those prevail

ARMED BANDS ARE

Georgia Whites Cross the River to Aid
in Hunt-Books Found Indicate a
Plot to Kill Farmer Who Had
Thrashed a Negro.

BLAKELY, Ga, Jan. 1.-Two more
negroes were killed and four negro
odge buildings burned today in the
western section of Early county in a
enewal of the clashes between whites
md negroes, according to reports
reaching here tonight.
On reports that negroes were threat
ening the lives of white farmers,
large number of armed men left here
for the scene and the reports from be-
yond the Chattahoochee river, the di-
viding line between Georgia and Ala
bama, said many white men had cross
ed from Alabama.
Seven negroes were reported killed
by passes which sought Grandson
Goolsby and his sons, Mike and Ulys-
.ses, accused of killing Henry Will
Iplgue, white plantation overseer.
Mobs scodred the river country on
hearing a report that Goolsby's sons
had not been burned to death in
cabin as reported, but had escaped.
Reports that the posses found on the
person of negro killed Thursday a
lodge book showing that a negro secret
organization had delegated Goolsby
and his sons to kill yiIlipigue because
he thrashed one of the Goolsbys were
said to have caused the burning Of the
/ lodges. The elder Goolsby was known
as one OF the leading spirits IN negro
lodges.

ing and negro Odd Fellows lodge

WASHINGTON, Jan. food prices
in the United States during 1914 were
higher than at any time during the
last 81 years with the exception of
the years 1882 when they were per
cent higher than 1914 prices, 1888
when they were on the same level and
in 1912 when they were l per cent

in its annual bulletin Just issued on
wholesale prices of commodities re-

discloses that in the 50 years food
prices were highest in 1864 when they
were 76 per cent more than 1914 pric-
