MR.. D 'BRUYNE WINS
OVER ENTIRE UNION

The readers of the Atlanta Constitu-
tion in Americus will recall that a
problem was recently given to be solv-
cd, and as reward for the one solv-
ing the problem lot would be given
by the Atlantic Realty Company, of
Baltimore, Md.
There were thousands who tried o
win this coveted prize, but only one
was able to find the solution, and he
vas an Americus man, Prof. B. l.. De-
Bruyne, of the chair of mathematics
i'll the Americus High school.
The problem given for solution was
large square which contained nine
smaller squares. In each square a
lumber was to be inserted and the
sum in all directions was to be the
number fifteen. The contest attracted
wide attention throughout the nation,
and people all over the country at
tempted to find the solution.
The prize given was lot in Atlantic
Beach, Maryland, rapidly gaining fame
as a resort, and from the situation of
the plat, shown in a deed sent Prof.
DeBruyne Saturday, the lot seems to be
valuable. 1t is placed only two blocks
from several large hotels, ard with the
popular beach only a short distance
away, it is very reasonable to presume
that the lot will prove a very valuable
asset to its new owner.
But the honor alone in being declar-
ed the sole winner in such farther
aided contest is gratifying to the very
many friends of the popular Americus
pedagogue.
