Teddy Kile, a young man about 18
years old, was instantly killed We'd
nesday morning about 1880 when he
touched live wire on the Whitlock
avenue light and power line.
Kile with M. A. Aycock, another
lineman for the Southern Bell Tel
ephone company was working on the
telephone line about one mile out
Whitlock avenue when the accident
occurred. Aycock was working ON a
pole about fifty feet from Kile when
Kile mounted to the top of a tele-
phone line pole to make some repairs.
Witnesses who went to the scene
say that the light and power wires
were sagging down only few feet
above the telephone post and Kile
evidently touched the power wires
when he reached the top of the tele-
phone post The telephone wires are
grounded for lightning profession
and this gave a grounding for the
power wires, turning the full current
through the boys body. A deep cash
was burned in both legs just above
the knee where contact was made
with the telephone wires.
The young man, though instantly
killed, was being held fast to the
wires and had to be pulled loose by
his companion who had dangerous
fall in the attempt. The second trip
up the~pole he succeeded in getting
the body loose and was forced to let
it drop to the ground.
Kile was the son of Mr.. Fl. E. Kile.
plant foreman of the local telephone
system. He was employed as an extra
man for a few days and had been at
work about an hour before he vas
killed Wednesday morning.
He lived on Maxwell street with his
parents, who with two sisters and five
brothers survive him.
A doctor was Immediately summon
ed to see if there was any chance to
revive the body, brit all efforts proved
futile. The body was sent to Black
Undertaking Chapel to be prepared
for burial.

Library Notes
Of the Week

The help of the library is extending
OFT into the county. A few days ago
ayoung teacher from nearby town
came in for some copies of Mother
Goose to use in her school work, and
WIS much disappointed when she found
tat the library did not have them.
She was advised TO ask the State
Commission. and probably by now
his what she needs for her school
work. We have many people from
tfe county using the library, both
CIR pleasure and profit. A young
ran from a far, came in last week
boxing for books which would help
HIM to become a machinist. We had
no such books, unfortunately, but it
showed that some people take for
ranted land rightly, that the Public
library is the place to come to for
Aelp.

Sides being an interesting addition

from the Life of Queen Victoria
which is the most important biogra-
nhy Of the day, and the most talked
4bout. This magazine also has in ev-
dry issue review of some book dis
&nctive in its line. When it is not
always possible to see and read the
new book as they come out, it is
the next best thing to see good re-
voew of one.
Three boy scouts from Camp Nc

On Wednesday. They are from Troop
35 of Atlanta, and are of group Of
twenty-one boys and three scout mas
tiers who are on a two weeks outing
1T the Camp.

al about their Library in Atlanta
and showed an intelligent interest in
the work of our Library.
b Fourth of July the Library will be
closed. The significance of the day
is noticed at the Library by the bulle-
tin board on which are pictures APP
Saropriate to the occasion. The ques
ton of getting back overdue books t
the Library is always hard one
for any Library. Children and grown
people will keep books out too long
Sometimes a notice will bring them
in, in fact it nearly always will.
To help out with those at our Lii
brary Officer Goodson of the local po-
lice last week made several trips to
the homes of those having books
This is a kindness which is much ap.
preciated. and was Of much help. Be.
tween the officer and the Librarian
most of the books long overdue were
gotten in. But the Librarion does
very much hope that hereafter the
people will be prompt about getting
books back, so that they will not have
to be sent for.

Government Is Trying to Solve
the Mystery of the Twenty
Missing Ships.
MAY Be WORK or PIRATES
Admiral Sims, Home, Tells Secretary
DENLY He Was Misquoted--Britain
Determined to Crush Irish Re-
volt-Dawes Made Direc-
tor of National Budget.
BY EDWARD w. PickARp.

The interest of the world was excit-
ed and Its imagination stimulated last
week by the remarkable story OF the
20 lost merchant ships, the mystery OF
whose disappearance our government
is trying to solve. Not since the days
of the German U-boats has there been
any such series of maritime disas-
ters, nor was there any such before
the war. number of these 20 YES
sells which have disappeared within a
few months were American or sailing
from American ports. The most mys-
tifying of the Instances was that of the
American schooner Carroll A. Deering,
which ran ashore off the North Caro-
lima coast last January with all sails
set and every member of the crew
missing, as were its small boats. More
than two months later the following
message in bottle was picked up
near Cape Hatteras:
"Deeflng' captured by oil-burnlng
boat something like chaser; taking Off
everything, Handwriting crew. Crew
lIQlAS ONCh ANV NhuuNC w
make escape. Finder please notify
headquarters of Deering."
Naturally the fayorite theory con-
cerh:ag these events Is that q pirate
craft Is operating in tine Atlantic. Rear
Admiral Mutton, commandant Of tile
Philadelphia navy yard, inclines to'thls
view. He says: tx
ut would be possible f0s.an outlaw
craft to run wild for a short time, and
1t could do considerable damage to
\ iAipping III there Is a pirate craft, II
was or is operating with forged ships
papers. 1t is always necessary, when
ship enters port, to have its papers
examined, and this craft could operate
for a short time with forged papers,
but in the end it would disclose it's
identity.
1T is true, also, that by stripping
vessels of provisions and fuel the out
law could continue operations long
time, but eventually it would have to
put into some port for repairs. Machln-
cry, you know, cannot run forever
without being overhauled and repaired.
IF such a craft is operating 1t will
have to return to port at some time,
and when ii does, assume there will
be interesting developments
Another theory is based upon the
fact that about a year and half ago
the New York police seized documents
which revealed plot which the Uni
ted Russian Workers of the United
States and Canada were forming to
get their members to Russia. Those
members who were out of work were
being instructed to ship on vessels In
sufficient numbers to seize the vessels
at sea and steer them into soviet Rus
sian ports.
The Departments OF State and Com
merce, however, hold to the plain pi-
rate theory and a worldwide lookout
for the missing ships and their crews
has been ordered.

Strolled through the cattle gate.
So kindly pen a check for ten,
