SEARCHING FOR Z MEN

Woman Who Wore Mems Cloth
ing When Killed Identified
as Resident of Ccrdele
PARTED FROM HUSBAND
Believed That Men Who Were
With Mrs. Price Know Cir
cumstances of Death

WAYCROSS, July 10. - Way
cross police today continued their
search for two mysterious men last
seen in the company of Mrs. Nellie
Price whose mangled remains were
found upon the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad tracks here asJ II ght.
These men were last seen in com
pany of Mrs. Price and have since
disappeared.
The only means of Identification
found on or near the body was a
gold watch bearing the engraved
name "Nellie Price," and blank
check on a bank in Perry, Fla.
Various rumors were circulated
in the city during the day, but Of
hcers working on several clues got
in touch with the mother of the
girl, Mrs. Nellie Haynes, of Cor
dele. The deceased, according to
local officials, left her home sever
al weeks ago on a hiking trip to
Perry. Her mother had received a
letter from her several days ago
stating that she was leaving on her
return trip home, Several local
parties reported seeing the girl on
the Dixie Highway south of the
city yesterday afternoon walking in
the company of two men.
Two theories have been adj
vanced here concerning the nature
of her death. One is that she took
her own life. This theory is based
on the statement Of the fireman on
the engine who reported this
morning that he had seen an OBJ
ject jump from a platform directly
in front of the train near the spot
where the body was found. The
other theory was the one upon
which local authorities place most
stress is that she was the victim
of foul play, and that her body
was thrown on the railroad track.

ESTInAT TES
CROP At 8 MILLION
EllaviIle Man Places Production
More Than Million Bales Tn
der Government Estimate

j. H. Stevens of Stevens ware
house, at Ellaville, estimates the
total production of cotton in the
Upited States this year at $780,
600 bales, or more than million
bales under the estimate promul-
gated several days ago by the fed
eral department of agriculture. He
is one of the most prominent cot
ton factors of Schley county, and
in past years has been uniformly
accurate in his predictions as to
cotton yield.
Mr.. Stevens bases his estimate
upon the general rains which pre-
vailed throughout the cotton belt
during the planting and early
growing seasons and to other caus-
es. Practically all of the fertiliz-
er placed upon the land for grow
ing the crop was washed away by
heavy rains, in the opinion of Mr.
Stevens, and in some sections, he
says, the downpours were so hard
and continual as to actually wash
the soil away, in so far as this ap-
piled to its fertility and availabili-
ty for cultivation.
