MAKINy THE INVESTIGATION.

While the good old country is spending and
pending in ecort to put itself in condition 10
leliver some painful blows to Germany abroad it
has about decided that it mants to investigate
far as possible and determine what went with
the Bernstorf slush fund of fifty thousand dollars
which seems to have been suent in delaying action
in this country against German depredations on the
high seas. Strong suspicion points to some four
zen or sixteen members of both houses of con
gress, if Mr.. Hehn of Alabama is to be believed.
1t is a matter of much satisfaction to the govern
ment at Washington that the secret service has
been able thus far to make poor living for German
plotters in this country. ON small amount of the
since this country declared war against Germany
1t is marvellous and is a work so clever that the
Hun, himself built otu Of eception and dishonesty,
cannot understand.
Recent American disclosures set Germany on
edge The upturnng of the potter and the spy
has been so complete that it is dangerous to oper
ate here. 1t is interesting to read of the effect
these disclosure had on the German newspapers
at home. They angered and worried no lit

Now the investigation is turning to the part high
officials in this country may have made in helping
Germany. An investigation such as be

RAINeY SAYS MARRY A WORD.

1t appears that the Gazette did Editor Charley
Brown of the Cordale Dispatch an injustice the
other day in CHASING him with Glen Rainey of the
Dawson News saying there was no difference
between the peanut and the goober. Charlie makes
a good showing this week and talks about the
goober like man who knows. Here in part is
how he describes it. 1T grows in bunch some
what like a Spanish peanut, but not so luxuriant.
The nuts are abundant and are never in double
shell. They not rich in oil do not look the
same as the peanut and have a different taste And
the leaves long and narrow as we remember
them only one leaf TO the stem" This settles the
matter so far as Brown is concerned, leaving of the
Two only Rainey as the man who wouldn't know
goober if he it. But the horrible thought inter
venes that perhaps after all Glen was just trying
to lead Charlie off a journalistic snipehunt so
to speak and leave him in the woods If that
was The case. he didn't succeed.-Tifton Gazette
Go for him Rainey You are 80 years old. He's

he is travelling now.

nine EVENTS
Star-RuIIetin Selection of Win.
ners Run True to Form in
Last Nights Races

The Star-Bulletin's selection Of win
ners of the swimming meet held last
evening proved to be one of the best
picked when eight out of the nine pre-
dicted, winners carried off first place
hOnors. >......
In the 100 race for boys under Is
years of age, there was no hesitating
as to the winner of that event. Nitric
Konowaloff, the little Russian swim
mer from the land of ice and snow,
carried off this race, as ne has done
in the past three years, although Pres
ton Chaplin of the Qutrigger Club
made it little interesting for Nitric
and also for the spectators. The Star
Bulletin predicted Nitric, first, Mat
suguma, second and Chaplin third
"Stubby" Kruger was the favorite
in the backstroke race and simply
walked away with it. Inasmuch as
Ross and Siegel did not enter, their
picks as second and third for this
event are void.
The 10O-yard ladies' novice swim
was a good pick. Picking Miss Law
as first and Miss Chaplin as second,
they proved loyal. .-.
Murphy first, O'Brien second and
Dodge third was picked for the So
yard service and they finished O'Brien,
Walker, and Dodge in order men
toned.
Miss Galligan upset one of the first
place picks when she defeated Miss
Burns in the 220-yard race for wo-
men. Miss Frances Cowells came
third as selected last night.
Inasmuch as Harris end Pingry
scratched in the 100-yard novice and
Kaehu was picked third, and the lat,
ter won the event, this makes another
true selection.
Duke won his 50-yard race with
Lane second and Kelii third. 1t was
thought that Jones would make a
place, but as he didn't this leaves
Duke and Lane as two good picks for
first and second places.
Bob Fuller, the Healani diver, won
tie springboard diving event. Hiorth
was second and Thurston third, As
named beforehand, Fuller was picked
to win this, Thurston second and
Hjorth third.
The 440-yard swim was the best
''pickins' Ross, Kruger and Walk
err as first, second and third. and the
old boys swan true to their pick. The
Alert team was the favorite in the
900 yard service relay but lost out
by several yards.
