ser From Breaking of Blood YES
sci From Over-Exertion.

Lee P. Lamar, a prominent citizen
of Sasser, died suddenly late Tuesday
afternoon just after he had pumped
up the tires of his automobile. Ply

that death was caused by the burst
ing of a blood vessel from over-exer-

Mr.. and Mrs. Lamar were prepar-
ing to go visiting, and when he fin
ished pumping the tire he remarked
that his head hurt and went in the
house to lie down. He called Mrs.
Lamar, who responded and placed a
pillow under his head and telephoned
for a physician, who arrived in
few minutes just as death came.
The deceased was 40 years of age,
and was held in high esteem by all
who knew him. He is survived by his
wife, one sister, Miss Lizzie Lamar,
and two brothers, Dr. L. Lamar, of

chant of Dawson and a law-abiding
and respected citizen, and large
crowd attended the funeral services,
including many Dawson people. Many
Syrians came from the neighboring
towns.
Nose Simon Not Wanted.
Nose Simon, a brother of the de-
ceased and who was in the barricad-
ed store during the fusilade of shots,
went to Macon, where he spent three
days.
To parties who saw and talked
with him there he showed a letter
from authorities at Hawkinsville stat
ing that he could return to that
town in safety if he desired and he
would not be molested. Simon stat
ed that while he had no malice to-
ward the people of Hawkinsville he
did not care to return there, and it
was his intention to dispose of his
hardware stock there and remove to
another city.
Simon's wife and children went to
Macon to see him, and as soon as
he gets located elsewhere they will
go to join him.
Simon was wounded three times
during the battle at Hawkinsville.
He was shot through the left leg and
has two other wounds caused by
small shot, but none of the wounds
are serious. A Macon physician dress
ed the wounds.

he had on hand with his brother, but
left 5000 in his vault.

urday afternoon. He was shot by
Mrs. Tom Simons, who was killed in

Warned by London that Germany

their moderateness has caused fav-

London's prediction of peace of

THE PRICE OF COAL
WILL REMAIN HIGH
SUPPLY is SHORT, AND NOT
WITHSTANDING PRICE FIXING
LITTLE RELIEF IN SIGHT.

The zip of fall in the air turned
the thoughts of Dawsonians to over
coats, furnaces, stoves .and-chieflv
to coal.
The majority of people have not
yet secured their winter supply of
coal and sharpness in temperature
brought flood of inquiries and or
ders to the local coal dealers and
Dawson woke to find itself confront
ed with a short supply of coal with
no definite time in sight when the
shortage will be remedied. Prices,
too, are high compared to prices that
have prevailed in former years and
no lower prices are in prospect, eth
er, Notwithstanding the prices pro-
mulgated by the president.
Many of the local coal dealers con-
slider the situation really serious. 9th
ers, while admitting that the shortage
is grave, believe that the govern
ment's final adjustment and the ces-
satlon of strikes in the Kentucky and
Tennessee coal fields, the situation
will work itself out satisfactorily.
The present shortage of coal here
is due to the strikes, the dealers saw.
IN Kentucky and Tennessee from
which sections most of the domestic
coal comes that is used in Dawson.
Prices VIII Continue High.
The prices for domestic coal now
prevailing in Dawson are from $3.50
to So ton. In former times before
the advances in coal these prices
were, for the same grade, S4.75 to
SIS ton.
Il consider that the coal situation
In Dawson is pretty Serious" said one
dealer. "Our own supply is short and
the general supply in Dawson would
be all taken up by the first sure
enough cold snap. People have been
told to put off buying coal, and they
have done so. l believe this to have
been an error.
Prices now may seem high. but
coal has not advanced as much as
food and feedstuffs. The dealer is
now making less profit on thu coal
he sells than he did when it sold
around SIS a ton. Ny advice is for
people to buy now. There can be no
reduction until more coal is receiv
ed and different conditions prevail"

derous william and his blood-thirsty fol-
lowers, and endeavor to fight them to

In the meantime Pedro was testing
every ounce of his horses strength and
speed as he raced in the direction of
WfnStOns troopers.
Not far ahead of him was n dispatch
car, which had left the camp of the
insurrectos just before he began his
ride He had been trying madly to
overtake it. but it managed to keep
ahead of him.
The chase kept up for several miles.
He was not certain whether it con-
tanned friends or enemies. Perhaps it
carried some of the Majors scouts who
had located the camp of Lopez and
were returning to notify their com
mander.
At last the camp came into view.
He saw it as he rounded the road.
which assembled to considerable
height in the Chihuahua foothills. The
ear climbed the hill and Pedro fol-
lowed several leagues behind. The
slave kept his eyes fixed on it as his
horse painted up the steep incline. Half
way up the hill there was long. level
stretch of road for some distance. and
when the car reached this it increased
in speed.
Then. as Pedro watched, he saw
something happen which caused him
to jerk back his horses head. He
stood up in the stirrups and leaned
forward as he held his breath. The
sight that he saw made his blood run
cold and paralyzed his whole body.
For, as the car speeded along. it
suddenly swerved at a bend in the
road, and the next instant went tum-
bling down the embankment, rolling
over and over as it went.

A Good Indian.

With all his faults, the American
Indian in his best estate has the mighty
virtues of loyalty and courage. A
touching example of the nobility of
character that many of them are capa-
BILE of is given in the late John Muir's
Travels in Alaska"
Mr.. Muir describes the coming of
missionaries to the Stickeen Indians of
Fort Wrangell and their success in
Outstanding them. The tribesmen,
he says, were encouraged to accept the
Christian faith by their head chief, but
he told them he could not himself be-
come q Christian, for this reason:
81 wish you to learn this new religion
and teach it to your children, so that
you may all go when you die to that
good heaven country of the white man
and be happy: But 1 am too old to
learn a new religion; and, besides,
many of my people who have died were
bad and foolish people. and, If this
word the missionaries have brought us
is true, as l think it is, many of nv
people must be in that bad country the
missionaries call hell > and I must go
there also. for a Stickeen chief never
deserts his people in time of trouble
To that bad country. therefore, / will
go. and try to cheer my people and
help them as best 1 can to endure their
misery."-YOuth's Companion.

DRILL HOLES THROUGH ICE
Seals Necessity of Obtaining Air in
Winter Calls for Tedious and
Constant Labor.

1t is probable that not one person in
a thousand knows how the seal of the
far North gets air when the Arctic
ocean is entirely covered with many
feet of ice.
The small, spotted seal, which is a
hair seal, and not fur-bearer, is the
hardy dweller of the northern waters.
Under his tough, thick skin he has an
inch or more of blubber. When the
ice closes up the open water in the
Arctic, the seal selects a spot and be-
gins to drill a hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
ice. Nobody knows how many hours
it takes him to accomplish his task,
but he manages it; and although he is
obliged to work most of the time, be-
cause the surface of the hole is con-
tnually freezing, he keeps it open all
winter, and obtains air.
Seals have been known to drill in
this manner through so feet of solid
ice. Whether or not they take turns
in the slow drilling is not positively
known.
1t is at these "seal holes" that the
polar bear seeks food in the winter,
and there the Eskimo waits, spear in
hand, for his weekly supply of meat.

Cedric Shaw was intently watching
the girl across the room. Sometimes
the swaying dancers in the hotel ball
room came between him and her; but
always his gaze went back persistently
to the bright animated face of u young
woman who stood talking with an elder
ly lady. The first thing that had at
tracted him was the absence of the
painted lips and cheeks, which he saw
on almost all of the young girls pres
emit Next to take his attention was
the pretty dancing gown, which unlike
the others covered her back, and came
above the shoulders all around in be-
coming line.
The young man could not have been
called old-fashioned or straight laced
but a certain fine respect for woman
hood which had been carefully instilled
in him by his mother, felt kind of re-
pulsion at the artificially covered faces,
and the too scantily covered forms of
the girls he met in society everywhere.
He felt that this girl must be differ
ent, and as he watched her face his
conviction grew. He determined to
know her, and started out to see if he
could find someone to introduce him.
Finally he accomplished his object,
and soon found himself guiding Miss
Burt through the mazes of the dancers.
Yes, decidedly Miss Burt was differ
emit" 1t was not long before Shaw's
heart began to give curious but I'M
mistakable evidences of being consid-
erably off its normal condition.
He managed to get an invitation to
call, which was not exactly difficult
since Miss Burt was quite as anxious
that he should ask as he was to get the
permission. If the truth must be told
she was at the same time experiencing
something like the same alarming
symptoms the young man was suffer
ing. She had not analysed her reasons

that she was. AS these things are hap
pening every second among mortals on
this globe it seems a waste of time to
inquire why.
Elva Burt lived alone in Furnished
room in the big city. The bed mas
queraded as a couch during the day,
and a screen covered the stationary
washstand. She made it look like
sitting room, and the house was clean
and respectable, if not fashionable.
Still she felt slight qualm at receiv-
ing the stranger in her humble quar-
ters.e. He seemed to her like a man
used to good society, one used to
mingling with cultured people in re
fined surroundings. In this superstition
she was right. The mother of Cedric
Shaw had belonged to family of high
social standing, and his father had
been president of a college. When a
lad of twelve, his father had died,
leaving moderate fortune to the wife
and son, and at eighteen, Cedric had
started in to earn his own living. He
had done so well that at twenty-five he
was now q Junior partner in the con-

and sat down to wait for him.

room. But if he's what think he is,
he won't mind. If he does-well-''
The sentence ended in a sigh.
1t did not appear, from the animated

might come again.

Soap as an Antiseptic.

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases in
modern years, are sufficiently free
from professional ties to attribute this
betterment of conditions, not to medi
cal science but to increased use of
soap and water. The Homeopathic
Envoy is of the opinion that with a
clean house and a clean person no one
need have much fear of Infection. A
writer in the New York Medical Rec
ord says: "Soap is now recognized to
be antiseptic and to be efficacious muS..
produce 81 lather. Bacteria rubbed
iHto soap or dropped on its surface are
incapable of multiplication. The ty-
phoid bacillus is very sensitive to soap,
being killed by a per cent solution
in a short time. More than aalf the
total number will die in one minute.
The thorough use of a pure potash
soap is not only q mechanical method
of cleansing, but is an active factor in
cutting down germ life"
