Two bullets were fired through a

the holes i'm the wall show that the
bullets missed their mark 10y frac-

Neighbors told the police that
they had seen a woman sitting on
the porch for several minutes be-
fore they heard the shots.
Dr. Hanna when questioned by the
police said that ne was we'll ac-
quainted with Miss Harris and that
ne had called on her frequently.
He said that she was in Indian
apolis Wednesday and that they
were together most Of the after

a revolver which Miss Harris had

turn of the weapon, but that she
had declared she wished 10 keep it.
No particular reason for enmity

inclined to believe that the young

Hanna wished to break off friendly
relations.

Unable to Feed
Babies, Deserted
Wife Tries to Die

Struggling for three months to keep
together her family of three children,
which q husband and father had aban-
doned, she says, without cause, Mrs.
Mary Aiken, thirty-two years old, of 16
Turner place. found the battle too hard,
and Saturday morning took a quantity
of strychnir,e in an effort to end her
life.
At the Grady hospital physicians said
she would probably die.
1t was ony few weeks after her hus-
band left that Mrs. Aiken, in i'll health,
found she could not keep all of her chill
dren. So she appealed to the Associated
Charities and that organizations ar
ranged TO place Fannie May, age seven,
and William Pearce, aged five, with a
good family. These children now, ac-
cording to the Associated Charities,
have good homes in Atlanta.
But Mrs. Aiken wanted to keep her
baby, little girl, just three years old.
Even this was impossible, she found, ac-
cording to her neighbors.
The attempt to end her life was made
in her bedroom.
The baby, which by the mothers act
probably will be made homeless, will be
given a home by the Associated Chart
ties, the officers said Saturday.

"Father Can Now Do as Good
a Days Work as ! Cam"
Says Grateful Son-Couldn't
Eat Meat for IL Years

g ". Arnold, familiarly known as
"BilI" Arnold by his hundreds of frlenos
and feIlow-workers on the Southern rail
yav. came into Jacobs Marietta street
nhar,nacy. Atlanta, a few days ago to
buy a bottle of Tanlac, and while there
made a statement that is probably one
of the most remarkable ever given
proprietary medicine.
Speaking of his father, Esquire S. t.
Arnold. who lives on r. F. D. No. 1, Lost
Mountain, Ga, and who is a justice OF
the peace, and one of the best known
men of the section, the son said:
MY father is eighty years old. and
If everybody could see what this Tanlac
has done for him, us railroad men would
have a hard time hauling enough OF II
over this country to supply the people.
It's an actual fact that he hadn't been
able to eat meat or any kind of greasy
food for ten or twelve years until he
took Tanlac, and now he can just eat
anything and has gained twenty pounds.
He was weak and all rundown from
this stomach trouble that had been with
him for a good many years, and 1t just
seemed like he couldn't eat anything
that would agree with him and give him
careful all the time about his eating.
He would have to spit up undigested
food. and his stomach just seemed like
II had gone back on him for good and
all.
"a few days ago he came to see me
and 1 was surprised to see how strong
and well he looked, and 1 asked him
what on earth he had been doing to
himself. He said he had taken five bot
ties of Tanlac 1t was such pleasure
to see him sit up at the table and enjoy
his meals that l simply couldn't help
coming right UP here and telling you
what this medicine had done.
s'He weighs more than he has in fifty
vears-iust. think of that! And L hon
estly believe he can do a good day s
work as 1 can. He says his stomach
trouble has left him entirely, and that
he feels better than he has In good
many years He says he's as sound as
a dollar now and expects to stay that
way as long as there's any Tanlac to
be gotten in this part of the country.
INV brothers wife has been taking
Tanlac, too, and it has helped her right
much She says she feels n hundred per
cent better and is eating right along
"I am really glad to give you this
statement, for ii gives me so much
pleasure to see father come to the table
and eat his share Of everything that
comes on that I feel like telling every
body about it. 1t is, in my opinion, the
greatest medicine ever discovered, and
everybody ought to talk it up"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
i'm all principal towns of the south.

u. s. Gold Is
Stored IN DenUer
Far From Coast

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1.-THE
government is storing most of it's gold
in Denver. that being the one stoyage
point of the country's four that 'prac-
tically safe from attack either by Ger
many or Japan.
Normally the greatest amount of gold
would be kept in the New York sub

great gold piles are distributed as fol-
lows:

Once before in recent years a vast
amount of money was concentrated i'll
Denver. This was in 1908, when Roose-
welt sent the Atlantic fleet into the
Pacific.
1t became known later that the real
reason for this concentration was The
remote possibility of a dispute with
Japan. At the same time the fleet
sailed, practically all the gold in the
government Golfers in San Francisco
was transferred to Denver.
1t will be noted there is almost as
much government gold now in Denver
as in New York and Philadelphia to-
gether.

Georgia Farmer
Making Splendid
Profit ON Peanuts

wAYCROSS. Ga, May 6.-That the
peanut crop is one of the most valu-
able from the viewpoint of dollars and
cents for south Georgia farmers, has
been very forcibly demonstrated by
Elisha Lott, of Coffee county. In 1916
on $50 acres of average land his net
profit amounted to S6,195 and here is
how he did it, according to a detailed
statement on file at the office of G. b.
Eunice, farm demonstration agent for
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
al Douglas. He used the McGovern va
Tiety, growing the crop alone. The seed
cost per acre was So; preparation. 81;
planting, so cents; amount of seed, 4
bushels; method, corn planter; shelled:
fertilizer. s4; lime, IS; broadcast be-
fore planting. Figuring the cost OF
cultivation, harvest picking, land rental
and other charges, Mr.. Lott found that
1t cost him $26.5O per acre. The value
o. the crop per acre was $3.50, less
the .cost. $3.50, leaving the net value
at S41.30.
After the vines had been taken up
Mr.. Lott turned 800 head of hogs into
the peanut field, and they gained on an
leverage of seventy-five pounds per hog.
The hay from the field was a source of
additional income. 1t will probably be
of interest in this connection to state
that a certain section of Virginia now
enjoys a wide reputation for producing
hams from hogs fattened on peanuts,
the hog-raising following the peanut
industry as a side line. Owing to the
erection of packing plants at Moultr lie
and Waycross. and the steady increase
in the demand for hogs, it appears that
the peanut crop is one that is going to
receive considerable attention
