Lanier and l had been going together,
in fact we were sweethearts for
long time, more than three years.
Coming down to the immediate
time surrounding and preceding the
marriage, Sidney arrived in Atlanta
Sunday night, the fifth of November.
He told me he had just arrived from
Columbus, where he went to a foot
ball game, and that he had gotten
with some boys and had few drinks.

R. R. BRIDGE, COAL ROUTE,
DAMAGED BY EXPLOSION
Home Of Two Miners Who Are
Working Also Is Bombed

UniOntOwn, Pa, Aug. "A charge
OF dynamite was exploded on the bridge
of the Monongahela Railroad which
spans. the Dunlap Creek at Footedale
near here early today and the home of
II. Finley. 26 Park avenue, in Union
town, was bombed about the same time.
The wrecked railroad bridge will tie
up traffic for the entire day. All the
coal mined in the Dunlap Creek dis
trict by non union miners is hauled
over the bridge, and it is believed the
object Cf the dynamiting was to stop
shipment of coal. State troopers were
notified. but no trace of the persons re-
sponsible for the explosion could be
found. The front side of the Finley
home was blown out and the furnish
ings wrecked by the bomb which was
placed under the front porch.
Finley, his wife and four children
were asleep at the time and were
thrown from their beds. Buildings
within block Of the home were badly
shaken by the explosion. Two sons Of
Finley have been working in the Lemont
mines Of the II. G. Frick Coke Com
pany. Recently letters were received
warning the family that unless the two
boys stopped working the house would
be dynamited. Chief of Police Eckert
Of this city, made an investigation and
found fragments Of steel and links from
n chain which had been used in con-
structiOn of the bomb, Il crude affair.

THIS is an editorial on luck.
L 1t is not the usual assertion that
there Is no such thing as luck.
Its purpose is to prove that there
is luck in the world-plenty Of it.
Almost anybody can avail himself
Of 1t.
Successful men have built fame and
fortunes on It,
There is as much Of It now as there
ever was-more, in all likelihood-for
there are more people in the world than
there were in the times Of our ances-

TNIIE youth who is seeking luck need
l. only to look about him-not much
farther than the next desk in the Office
or the next machine In the shop.
There he will find IA condition In
which he has had no hand, which gives
him an opportunity to get ahead,
That condition is the laziness of the
average human being.
1t becomes his luck--and his very
good luck---if he doesn't happen to be

want TO work very hard. his neighbor's
road to promotion is easy.
Because more than half OF the peo-
pie In the world object to doing any
thing they are not made to do, the
man who is willing to do things on
his own initiative has far better
chance.
If everybody in the world was up on
his toes and doing everything he pos
sibly could there would be a thousand
times the competition there is today,
HNiIE industrious and intelligent bus!-
l. ness man Is lucky because many of
his competitors are inclined to take it
easy.
The youth beginning business is lucky
because the men who fill the positions
he hopes to fill are disinclined to any
more effort than Is necessary to hold
their jobs.
Energy and brains will 90 far TODAY,
and without much trouble. But that
is because energy and brains in com.
bnation are rare.
Lucky indeed is the man who has
them--but his luck consists largely in
| the fact that most men are willing TO
stand by and watch him work--pity-
ing him for his foolishness till they
discover that they were the foolish
ones, after all.

operators and workers.
Last night the headquarters band Of
the 104th Cavalry Of the National

steps here. The street before the court
house was ropcd off and thousands
heard the soldiers watt soft music on

around; from the mining villages nearby
and far away; they came in automo-

to believe that II President Harding

No Trouble TO Get Drink
There was laughter now and then

Ilamill brought the first mirth when
he admitted there was never any diff
Guilty in getting a drink at the various
places he was employed as a customs
guard.
On several occasions when questioned
as to his purpose in entering saloons
with one or more of the defendants he
calmly stated: II went there to get a

How long since you stopped drink

Of S4OO. 600 he had hoped to get. when
$50 was all he ever collected.
Hamilton seemed the most concerned
among the defendants. and constantly
shifted his position to get a better
view Of the witnesses. The testimony
given against him was far less sensa-
tional than had been expected.
Simon, whose name was mentioned so
frequently by Hamill as the moving

then gazing amusedly at his accuser.
