trying not to cry out.

Then he snatched at her and, as
she tried to flee from him, caught hei
in his arms. One long cry left hel
lips and Edith Devon heard it plainly
u there under the rose bush. How
many times she had fied to an appeal
like that from the same lipsl In an
other moment she was in the room be
fore Uriah's red mouth had touched
Tony's face. The girl saw her and
screamed

The words were ~strangled in her
throat, for Devon was forcing her
head backward with his strong fin

Edith's eyes caught sight Of the re-

AT the other end of the room a tall
screams had aroused Reginald Brown.
He stood swaying, rubbing his head,
trying TO remember where he was.

Devon utter. "Tm done with you for

Almost l~ifeless, Tony was hanging
from Uriah's arm when suddenly
through the room a pistol shot
sounded.
The moment his gun barked, Reg

throw up his arms and crumple in a
heap on the floor. He saw, too, the
girl stagger forward and sink down.
He had committed murder. perhaps,
and, for an awful moment, he imagined
he was going mad. A scream rose

She grasped Mrs. Devon's arm and
hurried her toward the porch door.

up she thrust it into her mothers

She flung herself upon the woman
frantlcally, kissed the pallid, Impas-

showed Edith out upon the dark porch.
1t was while Tony's whole attention
was conferred on her beloved that Reg
maid Brown seized the opportunity
TO sneak stealthily from the room.

500 NEGROES WILL
SAIL FOR LIBERIA
WILL LEAVE IN DECEMBER
TO LEARN RESOURCES OF
AFRICAN REPUBLIC.


BALTIMORE.-About 500 Ameri-
can negroes, including many leaders OF
the race, will sail from this port for
Liberia on December 3, according to
plans OF the American African Tourist
Company, returning, after a 45-day
trip, on January II of next year.
The tour is being organized in CO.
operation with the president OF Libe-
ria and the National Baptist Conven-
ton (colored), the officers Of the com
pany being some of the most respon-
sible negro leaders OF the country.
The trip is under supervision of some
white people of Baltimore who have
taken a sympathetic interest in negro
problems.
The purpose of the tour is to get a
large number of American negro lead
ers personally acquainted with Libe-
ria, to know the country's civilization,
resources and possibilities; then to re-
turn to America and tell the American
negroes that Liberia is country with
American standards OF living and
American opportunities.
Besides the tourists it is possible
that about $50 negro farmers will be
taken on the same boat to Liberia for
settlement, carrying with them their
farming implements.

South Georgia Power
Plant to Furnish City of
Americus With Lights
Franchise Has Been Granted Georgia,
Alabama Utilities for twenty-five
Year Period.

AMERICUS, Ga-Cheap power,
heretofore one of the greatest draw
backs to the industrial development
OF Americas and Sumter county, is
promised as the result of action taken
by city council at its meeting last
night.
A franchise was granted to the
Georgia Alabama Utilities to build
electric lines and distribute electricity
in the city of Americas. This is the
company which is completing an in
creased power plant on Flint river at
Albany, and the power transmission
lines will be built from that plant.
The concern also has other large pro-
jects, including dam at Fort Gaines.
The franchise is for term of rs
years, and under its conditions the
company must be prepared to begin
furnishing service to the people OF
Americus in one year, but provides
an extension of six months on proper
showing by the company OF good
faith and unavoidable delay.
According to Vice President Young
the company will erect an all steel
tower line between Albany and Amer
icus and will be ready to begin the
distribution of electricity here by Jan
uary /. The patrons of the new con-
Germ will be sold power at the same
rate charged in Albany.

DRINK LIMIT FOR THE
SICK HAS BEEN FIXED
BEER AND WINE ALLOWANCE
EDICT PREPARED. IS as
GALLONS OF "SUDS."

WASHINGTON, d. C.-An arbi-
trary limit of four and seven-eighths
gallons of beer and three gallons of
wine as the maximum a physician may
prescribe at any one time has been set
in the new prohibition regulations
which await the approval Of David H.
Blair, the new commissioner OF inter-
nal revenue.
In making this announcement today
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer said
that while under Attorney General
Palmer's recent opinion the amount OF
beer or wine prescribed by physi-
clan over a given period could not be
limited, it was believed that the
amount of individual prescriptions
could be limited to a reasonable max
imum.
1t would not be practical, he said,
to require a patient for whom two or
three bottles of beer a day might be
prescribed to obtain a prescription for
each day.
Issuance of beer and wine regula-
tons, Mr.. Kramer emphasized, will
depend entirely upon the decision Of
the new internal revenue commission
er.

FAMINE HAS KILLED
ALL LITTLE CHILDREN
PITIFUL PICTURE OF SUFFER
ING IN CHINA is TOLD BY
AMERICAN MISSIONARY.

FENCHOW, Shansi, China.-Little
children have long since disappeared
in the worst affected famine districts
OF northern China, according to Rev.
Watts o. Pye, of the American Board
OF Missions, who has just completed a
trip of inspection through the area
where suffering is most intense.
He declares that the Chinese babies
born from day to day live few days
and then die, the mothers, in many
cases, following.
Reverend Pye gave graphic picture
of conditions he encountered. In one
small village he found the bodies OF
125 unburied dead.
"The gray days are here when whole
families, unable to continue the pititul
struggle lie down and die" said the
missionary.
The terrible truth, that our relief
efforts cannot hide, is that millions
must perish. Our United States Min
lister Crane after his recent visit of in
spection through the famine region, is
sued statement that this famine now
threatens with death more than twice
as many people as live in Belgium.
THE suffering grows worse and
worse as we get nearer spring and the
food gets less and less. Leaves, grass,
roots and the bark OF trees ground up,
have been, and are being used to exc
out the little food we are able to give
out, until even these materials are
about exhausted.
The help that comes is not enough
to help all, and that makes a heart
rending problem for us. With not
enough funds to keep life III all we
must decide to whom we shall give the
help we have. 1t was decided that since
all could not be fed, those who have
in them the hope of resuscitation af-
ter the famine is over that is, those
who have land and the implements,
etc, for planting crops, must be kept
alive.
This meant, awful as it seems,
leaving the old people and the help
less to die There are no words that
can express the nightmare, the hor-
ribleness and the heart-rending that
the making of this decision meant to
those of us who are concerned. 1t
seemed uncomfortable.
Nor can any one imagine our re-
lief, when, Unexpectedly, there came
additional funds from the central COM
mittee for our district, which will en-
able us to carry on for another six
weeks before having to put into effect
our decision. There will then be left
another six weeks until the first OF the
spring harvest brings certain foods to
relieve the tension"

shower.
The comet, at last calculation, was
approximately 100000 miles from
the earth. It's nearest approach will
be 1872 of an astronomical unit, or
100000 miles, on June 7, and short
ly thereafter the race will begin.
Harmless Spectacle.
At the greatest brilliancy observa-
bic from the earth the comet will be
of the eighth or ninth magnitude.
Nothing greater than the sixth mag
nitude can be observed by the naked
eye, so the world at large will see
nothing of the visitor until the tail
Tipping episode, on June II. However,
the earths attraction for the comet
may be so great that new calculations
may be necessary when the race gets
under way.
Any potential prophecies that the
comet will do great damage to the
earth are out of order, the observatory
states. On the other hand, the me-
teoric shower, if it developes as an
ticipated, will prove to be harmless
if inspiring spectacle.
