CHAPTER Viii.

Major Bradley and Henderson Goff.
When Bill Dale, the expert mining
man Hayes and the two mOuntaineers
stepped from short passenger train
at the Halfway switch, they were ap-
preached by the moOnshiner, Heck,
and man whom Dale had never seen
before. He was tall, and his bearing
was erect and SOldierIike, though he
was every day of sixty years old.
His eyes were blue and twinkling with
everlasting good humOr; his gray
mustaches and imperial were exceed
ingly well cared for; his teeth were
his own. and as white as a school
girls, and they bore out his general
air Of neatneSS. He was, plainly. a
Southerner of the old type.
who's that?" whispered Dale to
John Moreland.
But Moreland didn't hear. He ran
forward with his right hand out
stretched, and so did Ben LittlefOrd.
Men could not have greeted a brother
with more gladness, Dale thought.
Hi, thar, Major Bradley" the hill
man cried. And how dye come on
todayT
Il am very well, gentlemen, thank
yOu," said the major, smiling.
He shook their hands heartily. The
trainmen gave us your message yester-
day." he went on, still smiling, "and
we were delighted to learn that the
young woman was out Of danger. l
trust you are all in good health, gen.
tlemen."
They assured him that they were.
Moreland turned to introduce Bill Dale
and the mining man. From the mo-
ment that Major Bradley gripped
Dale'S hand they were friends.
Mighty glad to know you, Sir!"
exclaimed the old lawyer. I've been
hearing a great deal about you, sir,
over in the valley of the Doe. They
seem to think there's nobody just like
Bill Dale! 1t was Bill Dale this,
and Bill Dale that; it was Here's
where Bill Dale whipped Black ADAM
or, Here's where Bill Dale was stand
ing when such-and-such happened or,
Here's where Bill Dale crossed the
fencer"
"Hah-hah-hah - sluggishly laughed
By Heck, who stood leaning on the
muzzle Of his rifle. BILL Dale is all
right, major; we've shore got my word
fo' that,
The others laughed. Then John
MOreland said they'd better be NOV
ing, or they'd be late for dinner.

TT give you so much trouble that
you'll be glad to sell it to me later
for half that amount. The Balls think
they own a big interest in that coal!
There's a lot of them, too, and they
can keep you from working the mine.
Well, | can't waste time in dickering
with you. What do you say?"

tie smile, that your plan appears to
be perfect, except that you've over
looked one or two important details.
For instance, there's the law, y'knOw."
The Iaw-now don't go and fool
yOurSelfI" exclaimed GOff. The state
couldn't afford to keep a hundred men
here, month in and month out, Just to
protect your little mine. My patience
is about gone, Dale-fOr the last time,
what do you say"
Il say that I'll beat you at any
game you put up against me-" very
quietly. Furthermore, say that you
are a coward and a scOUndrel, and
that you haven't got the insides In you
to fight me fair mans fight. If you'll
only pocket that thing you've got In
your hand, I'll NOW down half an acre
Of meadow bush with your body"
The other turned red, then white,
then red again. Bill Dale's words had
laShed him keenly. His eyes became
like hard black beads, and he began
to raise the wicked-lOOking pistol as
though he meant to fire.
Then there was the sound of a
breaking twig behind him, and a voice
drawled out:
"Drap it, Mister-drap the funny
little gun, or the middle o Tarment
is yOre potion right nOw?'
1t was the mOOnshiner, By Heck.

harm, and there was a chance that he
would learn something of GOff's In

SO Dale went.
Golf was already there, waiting. He
was sitting on stone on the More

Senate Has Busy Day Tues

Taken to Distribute Text.
Books

Passage of the Walker bill, pro-
mon schools of Georgia, and defeat
of the Womble bill to repeal the tax
equalization law were features of a
busy session of the senate Tuesday.
Senator Walkers bill obtained only
twenty-five votesc on the roll cali,
and President Cliay's vote enabled
the measure to pass by the consti-
tutional majority. The bill provides
that five years shall be taken in
which to distribute free school books
among the children of the state In
1922 the first and second grades OF
supplied, the third and fourth grades
in 1923, the fifth and sixth grades
1925.
Senator Walker told the senate
Governor HardWick favored the bill
and that it would not necessitate
a great amount of additional ex-
penSe to the state, as the school
books are to be bought with a part
of the regular appropriation for the
public schols. He declared the fill
would enable thousands of rural
families in Georgia; to own school
books who have heretofore been
financially unable to have them.
Failing to obtain a constitutional
majority, the Womble bill to repeal
the tax equalization law was lost
in the senate Tuesday after consum-
ing four days in debate and filibuster.
The vote was % to %, but &c votes
were required for passage of the
bill.

FISHERMEN BADLY
HURT BY LIGHTNING

Hen Ania Of Miilto ang and sW jo23
Grantham, of Ocilla, who were so
badly hurt by a bolt of lightning
which struck their fishing boat on
the Gulf of Mexico Saturday, were
brought here Monday afternoon for
treatment in local hospital. Both
are badly injured, but may recover.
They were talking to the Greek pilot
of the boat one on each side of him,
when the bolt fell from the storm
which was piling the waves of the
instantly, while the other two men
were badly torn and bruised. Mr..
Grantham had a hole torn in his
hand and the current passed up his
arm to the elbow, leaping from there
to his body and boring a hole in his
side, cutting the flesh like a knife
around the pit of his stomach, and
coming out on the other side.
Mr.. Henderson's clothing was
torn from him, one shoe being liter
ally torn to shreds. His collar was
cut. into small pieces and his neck
tie chopped in two in four or five
places as though pair of scissors
had been used on them. His cloth
ing, even his underwear, was strip
ped from him and the pieces chinked
into crevices in the side of the ship
through which the electric fluid made
llo CAII' LAiSO WI WV eAliNi w 'NAh
ers were badly stunned, the only man
on the boat to escape being c. W..
Green, of Willacoochee, who was ~
ing on a cot in the cabin. The bolt
knocked a hole in the ship within a
foot of his head, but did not harm
him.
The hole, however, let water into
the ship and it was only by keeping
the pumps working that they sue
ceeded in keeping the boat afloat TN
til help could be reached. Mr..
Green and Mr.. Vickers finally
sighted a sponge vessel and roWed to
it in small boats. The spongefish-
ermen gave promt assistance and res
cued the survivors before their boat
finally sank. The boat was struck
by lightning about twenty-five
miles from land and sank when two
or three miles out. Mr.. Green, the
only one of the party to escape in
jury tells a narrowing story of his
experience, in the teeth of a storm
with the pilot dead the compass
torn to pieces and other members OF
the party manned and bleeding, while
the boat was rapidly filing with wa
ter.
Old fishermen on the gulf say
that it is very rare that lightning
ever strikes boat and there is only
one other case on record where such
a thing occurred in that particular
section, and that was twenty years
ago.

WOULD TURN OVER STATE
TREASURY TO GOVERNOR
Wilkinson Sheriff
Goes to Detroit for
Negro Fourth Time

IRWINTON, Ga, Aug. 81. 2,
Player, sheriff of Wilkinson county,
left here Monday for Lansing, Mich,
for the purpose of bringing back John
Ray. a negro who is under indictment
for the murder of V. w. Falkner'
near the Baldwin county line last
spring, a year ago. Immediately ait
er the killing the negro fled, taxing
refuge in Detroit, where he stayed In
hiding for some time, until the sheriff
here, getting wind of his where
abouts. went up there and had him
put under arrest. The negro, how
ever, refused to return with tine sher-
if, stating that he feared that he
would not be able to get fair and
impartial trial.
This made it necessary for extra
dition papers to be issued by the
governor, which delayed the matter
so long that the sheriff had to re-
turn without him. A few weeks later
the sheriff went again for him, and
after many delays the governor
granted extraditior. In the meantime,
attorneys for the negro appealed the
matter to the supreme court of Mich
igan, and again Sheriff Player had to
return without him. In all, three
trips were made without getting him.
Within the past few days news
item from Lansing appeared in the
adi1y newspapers to the effect that
the supreme court had sustained the
decision of the governor, granting eX-
tradition, but that the new governor
who had taken office since that time
had refused to sign the necessary pa
pers by reason of the charge having
been made that a mob had already
been organized for the purpose of
lynching the negro upon his return,
and that until proof tO/the contrary
was made by the proper OflclalS, this
would not be done.
This statement created quite SEN
sation in Wilkinson county, inasmuch
as no one in this section had ever
heard of such a ridiculous story. the
sentiment of the county as Il whole
being in favor of the law taking
gone so far as to say that that the
negro might possibly acquitted.
Sheriff Player will also go to Ak
ron, Ohio. where Will White. who is
under Indictment for the murder of
J. T. Dixon, and the attempted muir
der of Sheriff Player last year, is
reported to be under arrest A great
deal of effort has been put forth to
locate this negro, a heavy reward
having been offered, and several days
ago Sheriff Player received a photo
which everyone who knows the negro
Will White, says is undoubtedly a
very strong resemblance to the fugi-
tive.
