Get $4,000

LONDON, March 24.-What is be-
lieved to be the first big daylight hold
up in London took place at 80 o'clock
this morning in Regents Park, which
at that time Of the morning is trav-
ersed by hundreds of people going to
their Offices.
A salary clerk Of the Ministry of
Pensions, with bag containing $4,000,
was just leaving the gates Of the park
in motor van when three men with
revolvers held up the driver and or
dered the official and his assistant to
"clear out if you value your lives"
The robbers mounted the van and drove
off, with the driver still at the wheel.

DAWSON MERCHANTS
DO BIG BUSINESS.

DAWSON, May 9.-Dawson's
community sale, staged for three
days week before last, was such a
phenomenal success that inquiries
arc pouring in here from other towns
and cities III the South for informa-
tion as to how it was conducted, re-
ports on actual results, etc
r. r. Marlin, secretary of the
Dawson Chamber of Commerce,
states that from information he has
been able to gather from the mer-
chants of Dawson. the excess bust
ness done during the three days
above normal amounted to between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Thousands of people were drawn
to Dawson from outside the normal
trading territory, attracted by the
special bargains Of the merchants
Nand the entertainment afforded, and
every store in the city reported Itself
well pleased with tho results.
SO great was the success of the
undertaking, which was entirely new
here, that plans are already under
wav to reneat the idea in the fall,
and hereafter make the affair a
semi-annual event for Dawson.

Crowds Pour In From Sixty Miles Distant :
Dawson's Sale Phenomenal
Sue cess

BUENA VISTA. May 9-The
biggest day in the history of Buena
Vista, and the biggest business day
since the war, was the verdict of
merchants and citizens generally on
Saturdays community sale. 1t was
the greatest of these monthly af-
fairs, which have become a feature
of this city, and more money was
taken in by the merchants than in
a long time.
The crowd here was variously es-
timated at from 5000 to 5000 At
last months sale, at which barbe-
cue was the only attraction, the mer-
chants did from $4,000 to $4,000
in the single day, according to COM
piled figures Last Saturdays safes
considerably exceeded that total.
People were here from 60 miles
around, including scores from Co
lumbus and Camp Benning. Every
county in this section was represent
ed. A baseball game and free en-
tertainment, as well as the barbe-
cue, helped attract the crowd.
The merchants and citizens gem
orally are enthusiastic over the sue
cess Of the affair and are planning a
much greater similar occasion on the
Saturday preceding July a, which
will be July g. At that time any
thing ever untakcn in this section

WALLACE TAKES PLACE
IN AMBASSADOR COUNCIL.

PARIS, May o. (By the Associ-
ated Press) American representa-
ton at the Allied conferences was
resumed today when Hugh G. Wal
lace, the American ambassador, took
his seat at the council of ambassa-
doris here.
Wallace received instructions last
night from Secretary of State
Hughes to represent the United
States at the ambassadorial confer
ences.
His appearance at the foreign of.
flee was the occasion for warm ex-
pressions of appreciation on the part
Of Jules Cambon, president Of the
council and other members Of the
body.
The problem Of Upper Silesia was
the subject Of the councils deliber-
ations this morning.

that southern capitalists and south
ern developers, who are 50 alert and
energetic in other lines should have
overlooked the really wonderful op-
portunitics in the clay, ana mineral
resources of Georgia and Alabama
The raw material is here in abund-
ance. The fuel supply is at hand.
HydroeIectric power is available.
Under present processes potter
les rely entirely upon hand work
manship. Up to the present no one
seems to have spent either time or
money in developing automatic ma
chlnery for the manufacture of pot
terry. If the pottery industry fol.
lows the same lines of progress that
have marked other industries it
would seem to be merely matter of
time until pottery will be made by
machinery. At the present time 80
percent of the pottery made IN
America is manufactured in the vi
cinity Of East Liverpool and Trenton
largely because skilled workmen live
there. With the development of au-
tomato machinery this geographic
monopoly would of course disappear
and the south would doubtless be
come the site of many such factories.
1t must be recalled that cotton man
ufacturing was until few years ago
confined to New England In view Of
the great mineral deposits and the
other advantages set forth above it
would not seem a rash prediction to
say that the south should and doubt
less will enter the rank of pottery
production and the development Of
refractory industries due to the vast
quantities of refractory bauvite
clays."

Rome, Italy.
Dear Father: My last letter to
you was written in Pisa. Since then.
we have spent most of our time in
Florence and Rome.
| have always heard that Florence
was the "model city, and | must
confess that when | first saw it, /
was little disappointed. This war
only from an external viewpoint
though. | have seen many cities
which think surpass it. Nice, Wash
ington; Los Angeles and Paris arc
for superior to it to my mind in this
respect.
In fact there is very little in Italy
about the streets, the buildings or
the people to attract attention, but
rs soon as you enter one of their
buildings the aesthetic character Of
the people begins to impress you.
Everything is decorated in wonder.
ful taste and well blending colors
Especially beautiful are the pictures
on the walls, the frescoes and the
ceilings. Usually the ceilings are
painted just as if they were made of
canvass.
So while at first sight Florence
was disappointing, it gradually grips
you with its atmosphere with its
wonderful mass of paintings by the
great masters.
First and foremost there are the
two splendid art galleries connect
ing, the Uffizi and the Pitt. be-
Iieve these two galleries contest with
the Vatican here in Rome and with
the Louvre in Paris as to which IS
the worlds foremost gallery.
! enjoyed both Of these more
than / did the Louvre: How / do
wish | knew more of history, sculp-
ture, architecture and painting.
The Uffizi and Pitt contain so
many masterpieces of Rubens, Leo
nardo de Vinci, Raphael, Van Dyke.
Rembrant and most all others of any
fame.
Likes Raphael Best.
! believe the paintings by Raphael
are my favorites. The pictures | like
best are the two Madonnas painted
by him-the Madonna del Granduca
and Madonna Della Sedia and pic
ture by Elizabeth lie Brun of heT,
self, this last named being the best
to my mind. Another favorite Of
mine is "The Age of Innocence" in
The National Gallery in London.
In the Uffizi and the Pitt there
are so many different paintings of
.Virgin Adoring the Child" the
'Magi Adoring the Child" 1.-The
HOLY Family" "The Child in the Ma
ionna's Arms" and "The Descent
From the Gross" I think each of the
great artists felt it his duty to paint
4 set of these.
Florence was the home Of Michael
Angelo and he is buried there. His
sculpture, especially the statue of
David and his Representations of
Day, Night, Dawn and Twilight are
The one of Might" is his
masterpiece and | felt very proud Of
myself on entering the gallery to 90

if the best, though ] did know it was

The Jasper county murder farm
cromes have proven a sensation in
Europe, according to a letter from
Frank w. Harold, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank P. Harold, who is
spending his first year at Oxford as
a Rhodes Scholarship man from
Georgia. In a postscript to letter
written from Rome, where he has
recently been in his educational
travels, he says the case furnished
the Paris edition of the New York
Herald its main headline for two
days, and that the name of Georgia
has received some unpleasant motor
iety from the revelations.
His letter is one of the most inter-
esting of the several from him yet
printed by this paper, and will prove
of wide interest and educational
value. 1t follows, describing Flor
ence and Rome:
