TROOPS LEAVING
IS AGAIN RUMOR
IN CAMP HARRIS

CAMP HARRIS, Macon, Ca, Aug. Z
Though no orders for the entrain-
ment of the Georgia troops have been
received, it is believed, by high officers
at Camp Harris that the movement to
the border will begin in about ten
days. According to inside DOPE, Gen.
Harris anticipates some definite
word about that time, so that there may
be ample opportunity to give the rail
roads the required three days notice
for sufficient number of cars.
Another item of important news was
the statement that Lieut.. Col. Walker
c. Hendrix, of the Fifth Infantry, had
rendered his resignation. Col Hendrix,
an Atlanta lawyer, is head of the In
proved Order of Red Men in Georgia
and is widely known throughout the
state. News that he had resigned
supposedly on account of pressing bus
iEess engagements. started much spec
ulation in the Fifth as to his probable
successor. The officers of the regi-
ment. next in rank to Col. Hendrix are
Majors Isaac T. Catron, Wade H
Leahy and Walter J. Preston. 1t is
possible, however, that the regiment
may follow the precedent set by the
Second in requesting that Capt. ]. NJ
kimbrough, Jr., of the Seventeenth In
iantry, be detailed from the regulars
to become it's lieutenant colonel, and
ask for an army officer to succeed Col
Hendrix.
Sergeant Grady Hamilton, of Griffin
member of the supply company of the
Second regiment, and Sergeant Eugene
Harris, regimental bugler of the same
company, were badly hurt early Sun
Gay morning, when an automobile
driven by Sergeant Hamilton plunged
over Is foot embankment, near the
camp grounds. The men were on
their way to camp and driving at high
speed. Hamilton received a fractured
collarbone and internal injuries. Har-
ris' right shoulder was battered and
he is said to be suffering from internal

|CR|SP COUNTY Is
'AF TE:R A BRIDGE
At HUGENIN 6

cordele and Crisp county do not LET
an opportunity pass to stress Hu-
guein's Ferry and a bridge across the
Flint river at this point.
The Cordele Dispatch has the fol-
lowing article
Increased Importance has attached
70 the movement for the construction
OF bridge spanning Flint river at Hu-
guenin's Ferry on account Of the rains
OF the past several weeks. Renewed
interest is felt by the general public
or at least that part comprising citf-
zens of Cordele and Crisp county who
nave had occasion to look after bus
mess on the other side of the river
The same interest is felt by a large
population on the other side of the
river who have occasion to travel on
this side. 1t is an interest prompted
by difficulties, sometimes serious and
near-fatal, encountered in attempting
to travel, or not being able to travel
at all, between points divided by the
river.
THE ferry has been rendered practi-
cally useless during the rainy season.
TIE river has been swollen far out
OF its banks, and the ferry ropes have.
been submerged most of the time.
making passage not only very danger
Gus, but utterly impossible. The cur
rent has been so swift that, even.
though vehicles could reach the fer
ry from either side, the danger has by
no means been eliminated.
While it has been impossible for
other vehicles to make the trip be-.
tween points across the river, the per-
sons who were compelled to make such
trips and who found it suited to their
best purpose to travel by automobile,
in many instances were forced to go
more than hundred miles out of the
direct route. For instance, travel
between Cordele and Americas had to
go by way of Albany. The roads to Al
bany are passable, but from there to,
Americus is a trip through mud, slush
and water, attended by difficulties OF
being frequently stuck" Persons
who made such trip can fully appre-
eiate the advantage that travel would
have with bridge acros the river at
at Huguenin's and they are doubtless
strong advocates now more than ever
OF the movement to have a bridge
constructed.
While some of the wooden bridges
across the river at different points in
this section have been undermined or
washed away by thes wolen stream,
there is not steel structure spanning
the river that has been damaged, and a
steel bridge at Huguenin's would with
stand al Of the high water that the.
river might reat h at that point"

II was two days after the dead body
Of Marian Lambert was found. with
the deadly poison crystals on her lips,
beneath her finger nails and scattered
through her locks, that David James
gave the first sign as 10 what he had

James. who il teamster, was driving
a load Of provisions 20 the Mccormick
estate. As he passed the section Of
Helms Woods lying near the Sacred
Heart Convent he suddenly drew up his
horses. His keen eyes mad sighted two
figures moving slowly through the snow
near what is known as the Three
Trees" Surprised at seeing two stran-
gers there at such an hour, he watched
them keenly.
He saw them stop. For a few mo-
ments they seemed to be engaged IN
conversation. Then the girls arms
went out, and the young man seemed TO
be repulsng her. Then there came
what the deaf mute thought was true
lovers kiss. Smiling broadly. David
James clucked TO his horses and start
ed on his way. For him the mystery
was solved. IL was a sweethearts' quar-
rel. and now il was all over
After he had driven hundred yards
along the lonely road he looked back
and saw the man walk rapidly out OF
the woods alone.

Waukegan, H., May 22.-Consider-
able progress was made to-day in the
selection of twelve men who are TO
pass on the guilt or innocence Of Will
