ROWE COMPLETES
 HARD JOB

w. ]. Rowe lost a valuable horse while engaged in hauling a
 steam scraper from the Dexter section to Rocky Mountain creek Sunday morning. The death of the animal is said to have been the continuation of a series of hard luck episodes tha may be said to be most unusual, and which would probably have caus- ed many to throw up their con tract. During the course of trans porting the machinery to its new resting place on Rocky Mountain creek. Rowe has twice been compelled to break twen- ty mile trail through heavy snow, a costly and tedious process by itself, before the machinery could be moved. After getting started many obstacles were met which rendered the work difficult ant once two horses were nearly los through the load sliding dowr upon the animals on steep spot
 Fortunately the animals escaped unhurt but further bad luck wa. added by the death of the horse mentioned. The animal is saie to have died of inflammation O
 the bowels. The work was fin
 ished, however, in due time.

The mystery of how the fire main on Steadman avenue be- came blocked with ice for a cou- pie of hundred feet was solved by the fire committee after a brief investigation. It develops that the blocking of the pipe was due to ice forming under one of the pipes to such an extent that the. joints was broken, thus per hitting water to flow in and fill the pipe. How long this condi- ton has endured no one knows as that section of the main has not been tested for no one knows how long. This would seem to indicate some degree of negli- gence as 1t would appear in every way advisable to ascertain at in- tervals if the mains were in working order

Reports from Solomon today bring news of an incident in that section last night that under less fortunate conditions might have resulted in the death or serious injury of two we'll known Nome people. Mir. George Kilroy and Miss Lewis. According to the account reaching the Nugget to- Jay over the long distance tele- phone. kilroy and Miss Lewis, Who were returning from Coun- ell after having participated in the Camoogan dog race left Sol. .omon yesterday morning for a trip to the Ruby dredge on the Casa de Paga The weather was lair and everything looked favor able for the journey at the time of their departure They reach q the Casa without trouble and were on their return when over takn by a blizzard and snow storm, shortly after leaving East Fork. At the latter point they picked up native who was mak- ing his way toward the coast and having no dog team, he was given lift by Kilroy. The par ty continued on toward Solomon without thought of danger until the blow finally became severe As they were by this time an equal distance from both Solo mon and East Fork they contin- ued on. The snow finally became so thick that the trail was oblit- erated and the party finally be-
 came lost with the result that they were compelled to spend the night in the open. Luckily the weather was not cold or the story might have had a most unhappy ending but the trio reached Sol omon at six this morning cold hungry and miserable, but unin- jured. According to their story they continued on what they be- lieve to be straight line for Solomon but evidently wandered in circle. They finally decided to stop as it became too dark to see. With the help of the native, whose name is said to be Jack Brown, Kilroy built a shelter of the sled, pair of snow shoes and the robe and the trio settled down to pass the night as best they could. With the coming of day light the storm abated somewhat and they resumed their journey, finally arriving at their destina- ton after trip of a couple of miles. They were very tired and also very hungry, having had nothing ito eat since early the previous evening, but were not injured in the least.

WOULD ESTABLISH LINE
| BETWEEN GEORGIA AND
| SOUTH CAROLINA

ATLANTA, Ca, April 17.-Where
does the state line rest between Geor-
gia and South Carolina? Is the line
in the mid-channel of the Tugalo1
river, or along the South Carolina bank
of the river? On the answer to these
Questions hinges the collection or the
non-collection by the state of Georgia
OF several thousand dollars in taxes
from the Georgia Railway & Power
Company on it's dam at Gregg Shoals.
The state of Georgia contends that
the line between Georgia and South
Carolina lies along the South Carolina
shore of the Tugaloo river, and there
fore the whole dam is within the
state of Georgia and subject to taxation
by this state.
The power company, on the other
hand, claims that the state line lies in
mid-channel, and therefore only hall
or approximately half, of the dam is
subject to taxation by the state OF
Georgia.
The decision of board of arbitra
unsatisfactory to the litigants, and the
case today went before the state SUI
preme court of Georgia on appeal. Ii
lis likely that the United States SUI
preme court will finally determine the
location of the state line.

issuance of charter to any railroad
to build line parallel to the Western
&. Atlantic railroad, which is owned
by the state and leased to the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis rail-
road, which railroad in turn is con-
trolled by the Louisville & Nashville.
The Louisville & Nashville applied
to Secretary of State Phil Cook for a
charter for the North Georgia Mineral
railroad, line which the Louisvill9
\ Nashville proposes to build from a
point near Gainesville into Atlanta,
thereby completing the last link of its
intended and attempted parallel of the
Western & Atlantic. Secretary of
State Cook, in compliance with the
anti-parallel act which the legislature
passed in 1915, declined to grant the
charter The Louisville & Nashville
then brought mandamus proceedings
in Fulton county superior court to
compel Secretary Cook to grant the
charter Judge Pendleton declined 10
issue the writ. The Louisville & Nash
vile then appealed from Judge Pendle-
ton to the supreme court, and the case
came on for argument before the su-
pTeme court today.
On the outcome of this legal fight, in
which the state will be fought not only
by Dorsey, Brewster, Howell & Hey
man, but also by the law firm of King
& Spalding, of Atlanta, depends in a
very large measure the future value Of
the Western & Atlantic railroad, which
yields rental almost sufficient to
maintain the common schools of the
state and furnishes the basis for the
states credit. In all probability, the
case will be fought through to the
United States supreme court, as the
Louisville & Nashville railroad seems
determined either to parallel the West
ern & Atlantic railroad or bring about
It's sale.
The state is represented in this liti-

BULL MOOSERs JOIN DEM
0CRATS IN BARRING NEGROES

ATLANTA, Ca, April 17.-If the nc
groes of Georgia expect to become a
factor in politics, either state or ma
tional, it will have to be as members
of the republican party, as they, OF
course, are not admitted to the demo-
cratic party, and the recent action of
the state executive committee of the
progressive party denies them admis
sion to the Bull Moose ranks in this
state.
The committees action at its meeting
in Atlanta Saturday in drawing the
color line against the negroes raises
the interesting question whether the
leaders of the progressive party will
consent to be merged into the republi-
can party at Chicago, should such a
merger be brought about, which is
generally expected. The republicans
of both factions in Georgia have re
ceived the negroes with open arms, and
if the republican national convention
a: Chicago absorbs the progressive
party, the Bull Moosers of this state
will find themselves lined up with such
negro republican leaders, in this state
as Henry Lincoln Johnson, A. w. VIM
berly, II. A. Rucker, B. J. Davis, c. T.
Walker aud others.

Oldest and most highly respected citi-
zens of this community died at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. George Mcleod,
near Hawkinsville, Sunday morning,
where she was visiting The news of
her death was a great shock to her
numerous friends.
The deceased was the widow of the
late William w. Hooks, pioneer citi-
zen of this section. In early life they
lived in Lee county, where Mr.. Hooks
was one of the largest land owners of
that section. Later they moved to this

of its supporters until the time of her
death.
Two sons and two daughters sur
vive her. The sons are T. B. Hooks,
ST., of Americas; w. W. Hooks, of near
Cobb; Mrs. D. G. Burkhalter, of Amer
icus, and Mrs. John A. Waters, of

and number of grandchildren, of
whom seven grandsons acted as pail
bearers. They were Will Hooks, Jr.,
T. B. Hooks, Jr., J. D. Hooks, W. G..
Hooks, David Burkhalter, Sam Hooks
and Fletcher Mcleod.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at the First Baptist church
at $3.50 o'clock, DR.. Lansing Burrows
officiating. A very large crowd was
present to pay their last respects to a
pure Christian woman and mother.
A touching incident in connection
with the funeral of this noble woman
was the attendance of large number
of darkies from the old plantation
They came for last look at old mis-
tus" and as they passed around the
bier, paying last sad tribute to her

close is Tuesday at noon, it is probably
a hard task at this time to state which

Promptly at IL o'clock tomorrow, the
voting will stop and the ballots will
be counted by committee composed
of w. J. Josey, Fred B. Arthur and T.
Cleve Tillman, will proceed to count
the votes and give out to the public
just who has won the honor.
The contestants should not fail to
work today and tomorrow up to noon,
as for each 100 votes polled tomorrow
another 100 free votes will be given.
This should make the contestants get a
move on them and try and secure as
many hundred votes as possible.
The returns will show who is the
most popular young lady in the race
and surely will give the winner place
where many honors will be showered
upon her by visiting Elks.
