iaG school at T. o. O. F. han conduct
ed by The Herald under the direction
Of Mrs Edna J. Evans and a large

This is the fifth annual cooking
school conducted by The Herald and
directed by Mrs Evans. who is an au-
thority in culinary art and they have
been the most successful cooking les

Of the reasons for this fact may be
that women since the war are taking
note Of food values in a more intelli-
gent effort 20 learn as much as pos
sible about the combinations Of food
and how 20 obtain the daintiest and
most wholesome results from the least
expenditure OF money.

MARIETTA, Aug. Miss Julia
Green, 65 years old, died on the op-
Grating table at DR.. C. T. Nolan's
sanitarium yesterday at 4::3e o'clock
following an assault at her home,

1t is presumed that the house was
entered for the purpose Ct robbery,
the intruder evidently expecting that

BILE amount of money in the house.
Investigation showed that they get
only $1.25 which was in a purse
which Miss Green had lying on the

COCA COLA TALE
RIVALS YARN OF
ALLADIN'S LAMP

ATLANTA, Aug. 1.-The sale here
yesterday of the Cola-Cola Company
by Asa G. Gambler ends his connection
with business the success of which
has been one of the most remarka-
Bile chapters in American business
history. Most Georgians are familiar
with it.
Many years ago, the formula for
coco-cola was invented by a pr.
Pembleton, physician of South Car
DINA. When he died he wll!ad It to
his son, who came over to Georgia to
settle and who sold the secret of the
yet undeveloped drink to a Jewish
drummer, who in turn disposed of it
to Mr.. Gambler for $500.
Mr.. Gambler organized company
capitalized at $4,000, the majority
of the stock in which was retained by
the Gambler family. In later years
this has been doubled, but kept at
that figure in spite of efforts to in
crease it to proportions commensu-
rate with the value of the business.
The sale price, $25,OOO,O00, made
Coca-C9la the highest priced stock on
the American continent, but it never
was on the market. Its real value is
shown to be $4,000 for every dollar
invested, or half million dollars for
one share of 500. j. H. Nunnally,
of Atlanta, sold the last stock in the
company owned by outsiders few
years ago for $4,000 share, his
two shares bringing $4,000; Mr..
Nunnally lost $4,000 on the trade,
because it was bought by Mr.. Cand-
Ter.
Mr.. Gambler owns real estate esti-
mated at $25,OOO,OOO putting his es-
timated fortune at $5O,000,OO0, MAX
ing him probably the wealthiest man
in the South. Much of his property
it is understood, has been divided
among his children; each of them will
receive 100000 from the sale of
the Coco-Cola company and will re-
tain their interests in the bottling
plants of the country.
