UNRAVEL MYSTERY
C0!HRoN TRAGEDY
MURDERED WITH ROBBERY
AS MOTIVE.

Although no definite facts regarding
the manner in which w. j. Cothron
former Columbia railroad man, met
his death at Eulaton, near Admission
Ala, about four weeks ago, but whose
body was not found until last week,
have not been learned, Sheriff J. Wal
ter Griffin and the Admission, Ala,
sheriff are working on clues that may
unravel one of the most perplexing
homicide mysteries in the criminal
history OF either Tennessee or Ala
bama. The gruesome condition of the
body when found, the conflicting stor-
les regarding the manner in which he
was killed, the absence OF informa-
ton from persons who knew him, the
length of time between his death and
the finding OF his mutilated body, and
other circumstances combine to make
his death one that is a fit subject for
the keenest detective work on the part
of the officers Of two states. IL is
becoming more commonly the belief
Of persons who have given much
thousht to the tragedy that Cothror
was neither accidentally killed nor
slain In . fight with anyone. but thai
he was murdered with robbery as the
motive.

OVER THREE HUNDRED
CAR LOADS Of NU|FS
SHIPPED IN A month
NEW RECORDS MADE AT ru,
RAILROAD STATION AT
COLUMBIA.
VALUE MILLION AND HAIg
Nearly Eight Thousand OF The Az,
cared Animals Are Sent Forth Fron
The Dimple Within a Period of rbi,
ty-one Days.

There were 81 car loads of mpIp,
shipped from Columbia during ho
month of October, which is prohablr
y record for the local railroad offco.
OF this number 3O7 went over IN.
Louisville & Nashville railroad and
ten went over the Nashville, Cbatb.
nooga & st. Louis railroad.
These cars averaged no less tina,
twenty-five mules to the car load
making the total number of mule,
shipped out 1925. An average Of
more than ten car loads went out n,
every day during the month. TbI,
means that $50 mules went from Co,
lumbia every day and Sunday, too
during the entire month of October
No such number have ever gone out
from the city during the month in apv
previous year.
Forty car loads of mules would
make a big freight train, so that it
would require ten heavy train loads
to pull the number of long cared AMI
mails that left the Dimple, At an aver
age of 5000 mule, this would make
the total value Of the mule shipments
for the month million and six hun.
dred thousand dollars. ~.
Divided among the people of the
county the value of these mules would
give each of the 10000 men, women
and children forty dollars. 1t would
mean 5000 for each family of FIVE. 1t
is sum equal to the combined de.
posits of the two largest banks in the
county.

MAuRy'S CORA YIELD
lXCttDS ALL fORkR
RtcORDSISES[IMAlE
CROP Is ESTIMATED TO HAVE
VALUE OF MORE THAN
FOUR MILLION.
Probably Worth More Than Any Pre-
vious Wheat and Corn Crop Com
bined Ever Before Grown in This
Section of the State.

Farmers are taking full advantage
of favorable weather for gathering
corn, preparing the land and sowing
wheat. For the past two weeks the
weather has been perfect for getting
in the corn crop and from early morn
ing until late at night the farmers
with all of the labor that they could
get have been busy in the corn fields.
Without exception reports OF the
yield of corn are glowing. 1t is esti-
mated by those in position to know
that the corn acreage of the county
is not less than 100000 acres and it
may be more than that. In fact,
some have stated that this was en-
tirely too conservative an estimate.
The average yield in the county will
| be not less than six barrels to the
acre and there are many who declare
that seven barrels will be more nearly
| the correct yield to the acre. On this
| basis the yield for the county would
be 100000 barrels. At six dollars a
barrel and it is believed that the aver
age price would be equal to this. the
value of the crop will run over $4,000
| 600. 1t will probably approach nearer
| SIS. 000, 600 as the estimate of the acre
age is doubtless rather under than
over the true amount. 81
This is not only the largest corn
crop ever grown in the county, but It's
value will largely exceed that of any
/ former crop. 1t is more valuable than
the combined corn and wheat crop of
any ordinary year.

ness with which the multimillionaire's
daughter came to the phone was an
intimation that his ring was not entire
ly unexpected.
"This is Montague" he said, when
Miss Richlander's mellifiuous "Main
four six eight-Mr. Richlander's resi-
dence" came over the wire. Then:
"What are you going to think Of a man
who calls you up merely to beg Off"
he asked.
Miss Richlander's reply was merciful
and he was permitted to go on and ex-
plain. "Pm awfully sorry, but 1t can't
very well be helped, you know. Mr..
Durham has returned. and he wants
me at the bank. I'll be up little later
on, IL I can break away. and you'll let
me come. Thank you, ever so
much. Goodby."
The Lawrenceville Bank and Trust,
lately installed In its new marble-ve-
neered quarters, was only four squares
distant. AS he was approaching the
corner, Smith saw that there were only
two lights in the bank, one in the vault
corridor and another in the railed-off
open space In front which held the
presidents desk and his own. Through
the big plate-glass windows he could
see Mr.. Durham. The president was
apparently at work, his portly figure
filling the padded swing-chair. He had
one elbow on the desk, and the fingers
of the uplifted hand were thrust into
his thick mop Of hair.
Smith had his own keys and he let
himself In quietly through the door on
the side street. The night-watchman's
chair stood in its accustomed place In
the vault corridor, but 1t was empty.
To a suspicious person the empty chair
might have had its significance; but
Montague Smith was not suspicious.
The obvious conclusion was that Mr..
Durham had sent the Waterman forth
upon some errand; and the motive
needed not to be tagged as Interior.
Without meaning to be particularly
noiseless, Smith-rubber heels on tiled
floor assisting-was unlatching the
gate in the counter railing before his
superior officer heard him and looked
up. There was an irritable note In the
presidents greeting.
"Oh, It's you, at last. is it?" he
rasped. "You have taken your own
good time about coming. It's a half
hour and more since sent that note to
your ROOM"

ish gray eyes were rejecting just a
shade Of the militant antagonism In
Mr.. Watrous Dunham's when he said I:
IL was dining at the Country club with
friend, and didn't 60 to my rooms
until few minutes ago."
The president sat back In the big
mahogany swing-chair. His face, with
the cold, protrusive eyes, the heavy
lips. and the dewlap lower law, was the
face of a man who shoots to kill.
II suppose you've heard the news
about Westfall7"
Smith nodded.
"Then you also know that the bank
stands to lose cold hundred thousand
on that loan you made him?"
The young man in the stenogrnpher's
chair knew now very well why the
night-watchman had been sent away.
Smith saw the solid foundations of his
small world-the only world he had
ever known-crumbling to threatened
dissolution.
"You may remember that I advised
against the making Of that loan when
Westfall first spoke of It," he said,
after he had mastered the Fremont
tory chill of panic. ut was bad risk
for him and for u.s."
II suppose you won't deny that the
loan was made while was away In
New York." was the challenging re-
joinder.

face the objector and brought his palm

The Hidden Power

Most of us never learn what
great powers lie undeveloped
within our mind and body. We
go through life working at about
ffty per cent pressure. Unless
there come a crisis which calls
out to duty the last ounce of
bodily strength and the most
acute mental energy, we go to
tho end Of life's string knowing
not how much Of the Creators
gift we have neglected and let go
to waste.
1.-THE Real Man" Is the story
Of a young fellow who had the
good fortune to face a real crisis
when he was twenty-five years
old. 1t called out his entire re-
serve of strength and courage.
For 25 years there existed
SNUG person, hide-bound, soft,
shrewd. Then came the blow
off! The real man stepped out
Of that Snug disguise and
showed the stuff that was in
him. 1t was great stuff, too.
All of you will enjoy "The
Real Man" 1t will entertain.
1t will provoke serious thought.
1t may. lead you to examine the
inside of your shell Of life in
search Of the real man or the
real woman. 1t may help you to
discover way to work at higher
pressure than fifty per cent
and If you do, you'll know the
secret that has made men IA
nous throughout the worlds
history.

County Agents Pay Increased.

A. C.. that 1t will pay the new county
agricultural agents s1s3 a month. The
war board tried to hold the country
agents salaries down to 500 month,
but the cut stirred up so much wrath
among the field men that the former
figure was restored in response to q
request made of the war board by the
state board Of agriculture.
