NEW OFINDT4N1
MAY GET, CABINET POST

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Sens
tor Harry S. New of Indiana, accord
/ ing to rumors here, is being consid-
cred for appointment to an impor-
tant cabinet position.
The Indiana primary elections of
May, 1922, predicted the passing OF
one the best story-tellers and con
vival spirits in the cloakroom of the
United States senate. For Senator
Harry Stewart New saw his defeat
ip these elections and the end of his
only term in the upper house.
Senator New developed his nara
tive abilities in the newspaper office.
He was 20 when he started reporting
for the Indianapolis Journal and by
the time he finished his newspaper
career in 1908, he had gone through
the various official positions there
until he became part owner - and
publisher.
New has been resident of Indian
apolis ever since his birth here in
1858. His education, even through
college, did not take him out of the
city, for Butler University is his
alma mater.
At the stare of his newspaper days
in 1878, New became acquainted
with James Whitcomb Riley, the
children's poet, who worked on the
same paper.
They were close friends until the
poets death in 1916. From him New
heard many weird ghost stories with
which he later loved to awe his col
leagues in congress.
News first political office was
gained in 1896, when he went to the
Indiana state senate for four years.
While state senator, however, he
enlisted for service in the war with
Spain, returning at its conclusion to
finish his term of office.

boil weevil. Those who have been
giving more attention to the rails
ing of live stock, particularly hogs,
are pleased with the results, TOO,
and it is perhaps safe to say that
there will be no let-up on this line.
There will probably be more hogs
and cotton raised in South Georgia
this year than last year. And this
is what should be done.
But our farmers have not been
asleep and have learned something
about how to fight the boil weevll,
and they are not going to abandon
cotton as a money crop, for the
very good reason they don't believe
they have to do it.

THE FIHdING SHACK

Except for asking James Latham
to drive to the little fishing shack
where Dams trunk had been left,
Kate was silent when she returned
to the car.
Something the woman said of Alice
held her attention:
.'She might be a fine lady now II
she hadn't fallen for the wrong man.
Perhaps, thought Kate, if Ahce
and she had reversed in meeting their
men friends, their positions might
aow be reversed. Perhaps it isn't
so much myself or Alice's self which
put either of US where we are, the
thought continued; it it may be just
circumstances with which we come
in contact at various times.
She marveled with Alice's willing
ness to share her little worldly spoil
with another woman.
She wondered who the man had
been, the one man who stood out IN
Alice's life so distinctly that, in spite
of her reticence, her friend had
sensed the affair. Could the slim,
slouching figure she saw'bending to-
ward Alice, as she entered the hotel,
be the man for whom the girl car
ed so much. And if he was, what
of Dan? What place had Dan occu-
pied in the girls life?
Kate found some comfort in the
thought that Alice's chief interest
had been in some other man. Yet,
strangely, her vanity was hurt that,
since she believed Dan had been in
terested in Alice, the girl had not
given him her first and greatest af
lection.
She was jealous of him, but quite
as jealous for him! Like all women,
she wanted her man to be the most
attractive to other women, yet she
wanted him to be very apparently
her own.
You've gone away from me again
into one of those dream worlds
which you create so easily" James
Lathams voice aroused her.
Yes" pensively.
They were winding around bend
in the road which followed the river
bank. A charming little shack, part
ly logs, partly rough stone, was
visible.
Your estate" James Latham
smiled and waved toward the struc-
ture.
''Is that the fishing shack " Kate
was eager.
That's it."

THIRTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY

(From the Times-Recorder, Jan. 20,
.. 1889
It is said that the farmers of Stew
art and adjoining counties have
learned a dear lesson from the 'alL
cotton crop" and they are not going
to plant as much of the staple this
year as they did last. The farmers
of Sumter, too, have reached this
wise conclusion, and it is said that
the acreage generally devoted to cot
ton will be largely curtailed this
year.
Superintendent Harper is greatly
pleased with the success that has at
tended the public schools of the city
since the beginning of the spring
session two or three weeks ago. The
school are in splendid condition just
at this time, and the fifteen or six
teen hundred scholars seemed to
have taken on renewed energy in
their studies since the present SEES
sion began.
Extensive changes have been made
during the past few days upon the
interior of John R. Shaw's big cloth
ing palace on Forsyth street, which
improves the appearance of his al
ready handsome store very much
indeed.
Miss Lizzie Alexander, one of Au-
gusta's most beautiful and cultured
young women, arrived last night, and
will be the charming guest for few
days of her cousin, Mrs. George d.

The Progressive Farmer has an
admonition along this line, advising
farmers to let severely alone per-
sons who come to them with
schemes for oil, mining and all

A mighty safe rule, it occurs to
us, is for farmers, and townspeo-
pie as well, who have a little ready
money to invest, if in a foreign
company, is to go ask the advice
of your local banker.
The local banker is able to place
your money where it will do the
most good for you and the COM

your county or some local enter

A STARTLING
GHOST STORY.

A startling ghost is creating
sensation in England. Lord st.
Audries claims he saw the ghost.
English scientists are taking his
claim seriously, for he is man OF
high standing. His father was
chief whip" of the Conservative
party, also vice-chamberlain to
Queen Victoria and King Edward.
Lord st. Audries encountered
his black ghost" in the traditional
theatrical atmosphere. he didn't
believe in ghosts. But he was
curious. So, on a weekend visit, he
and his hosts decided to investi-
gate a nearby haunted house.
This haunted house was de-
serted dwelling, crumbling to de-
cay, Uttered with fallen plaster
and other rubbish.
The ghosts headquarters were
supposed to be in a second-floor
bathroom where, some so years
ago an insane doctor had commit
ted an atrocious murder and later
committed suicide. Br-r-r-r!
Lord St. Audries mounted
guard in the upstairs hall in sight
of the bathroom door. He had
a candle for light. His friends
remained outside. (Most of us
would)
Here is Lord st. Audries' re-
port of what happened:
"Out of the door, down the
dark passage, something rushed
like an immense bat towards me.
1t was black from head to foot
and it seemed to be built in the
form of very powerful man. But
two things made me know that it
was no human being. First
could see no face, just a hideous
blank, Secondly, though it came
with huge leaps over the rough,
rickety floor, it made absolutely
no noise.
But when this thing dashed out
| was struck backwards with an
irresistible force. l found N.Y.
3 self fighting, struggling with
Know not what, down the steep
stairs" .--...-..
Having escaped, Lord St. Aud
ries learns that no dog can be coax
ed into the garden around the
haunted house. Thisis the most sig
nlticant part of his story.
Neurologists, specializing in psy-
chic phenomena, would claim that
what Lord Audries saw was a
creation of his mind-an hallucina-
ton while in highly-strung psy-
cho-imaginative condition. Au-
thorities like Hudson admit that
so-called ghosts are actually
seen" But they do not admit
that seeing them necessarily
proves the existence and presence
of departed spirits. Hallucina-
lions in dreams seem very real.
Many others firmly believe in
ghosts.
You can get just so far with
psychic phenomena, then reach a
point where you have nothing to
stand on except faith.
After all, faith is mans great
est power.

His reward for his services was
