17,000,000 Stamps For Salt.
Washington, July 4.—Chekto Bey,
the Turkish minister, haa announced
that his government has a cotier'Ion
of 17,000,000 postage stamps which will
be sold nt auction In August, and the
proceeds donated to the Higas rail*
way, which Is being constructed from
Damascus to % Beirut, The collection
ot stamps consists of more than one
hundred denominations, which have
been issued by the Turkish govern
ment during the last forty-three years.
With nothing to Md them along ibelr
Journey except n simple faith-In the Lord
and the belief that everything will be pro
vlded for tb$D, Mu/ltaou Langston, 92 years
old, and his'wife, 77 yturs of ago, are new
la Atlanta, penniless and without friends,
on their way to Vandnll, Ark.
The aged eouple arrived in Atlanta Wed
nemlav. and-the Inst meal they bad until
HeereiaV IdUtan, nf the Associated Chari
ties, pit- luli» eouitnitilhaqoit iwith them
Thursday morning.* was i n lunch WedueS-
day nt noon. For twenty-four hours they
had l*eea without food, and yet there wna
not one word of complnlnt from either.
Until the trip to the West was dec
upon, the aged man and hla wife lived In
Greenville, H. C. The old man Is a Con
federate veteran, and, with the little pen
sion Deceived from the state, the old couple
managed to Jive through the winter, and in
till* summer the wolf was kept from the
dour by the feeble efforts nt work by Mrs.
Langston.
A few days ago a letter rnme to Mrs.
Langston from her only staler, In Arkansas
This miter to 6J. years''of fcgc, and lather
letter she expressed a desire to see airs,
igingstoti liefore death parted them.
Journey to West.
There was nothing to keep the old folks
in Greenville. For years nil they had
known there wag n fight with poverty for
existence. Ho they set out for Arkansas.
Home Greenville people gave theln enough
iiioncv to take them to •Atlanta, and here
they landed penniless and hungry, but still
tmt coinplniiilng.
Stum* one told Mrs. Langston about the
As«*‘liit<4 Churl tics, itwl IIU* ol<J woman
Intairlousiy made her way thnuigh tlie
crowded streets to the office lu the Gould
building. ... ,,
”1 have the faith and hope,” said the old
woman In her quaint way to Mrs. McNabb,
•tarv Logan's assistant, "si* now 1
to see charity. We ain't had nary
thing to eat since ylstlddy noon, hilt we
ain't hongry. The good Lord has kept na
from that. I might git the ok* man a lit
tle coffee and bread, though. He's mighty
feeble, and needs It more n I do.
This is the Hrst time the old Woman
or her husband luive ever been In Atlanta,
but she said the big city didn’t bother her,
for she had lived Ju Greenville, a right
smart place, and was used to'the ways
of big cities. With all her hunger
poverty and halplessnessj’ she was all
was ojitlmtatle. and said If they could get
to Memphis. 50 miles from her sisters
home, she would be perfectly satisfied, for
she was certain s7»c could get herself and
her husband the balance of the distance.
According to the recognised custom. It
would be proper to send the aged couple
back from where they came, but it Is prob
able the rule will be broken In this case,
providing the sister In Arkansas Is in ft po
sition to provide for the old couple. Until
this to learned, the Associated Charities
wlirinke care of the two.

SENA IOR AKIN GETS BOMB,
BUI II PROVES HARMLESS;
A FOUR IN OF JUL\ JOKE
.Hot*. John \V. Akin, urrniim.pt the'
senate, received an Infernal tnaChlne
Thursday morning at his room. In the
Piedmont.
But the Glorious Fourth was not
marred by a tragedy. It Is not neces
sary to record any harrowing details.
And the senate will not become de
moralized by the necessity A>t going
Into tbe_«It>ot)op_-»f another, preside^
as successor’ to fJJr. Akin. • -
At last reports, President'JAkln and
Mrs. Akjfl, who had tho thrilling expe
rience of opening the machine, were
alive anjt In good health and'.unliurt.
For, Instonii of being the'victim of.
some dastardly plo^or extermination;
President Akin was merely the un
harmed victim of a clever little Joke—
just a little side Issue to enliven his
Fourth of July gelebratlon.
The machlne-,w4a;“lnfernar nil rtgbL
to all appearances, hut In reality noth
ing moro than a fnke.
It served, however, to give Mrs. Akin,
the senator's genial wife, a fright On
opening the machine.
It was shortly before 10 o'clock on
Thursday morning that Mrs. Akin
heard a knock on her (loor, In room 610
of the Piedmont. -Answering the knock,
she found a bell boy at the door with a
big boxJneatly wrapped, and addressed
to "Hon. John W. Akin.”
Thinking the box contained some
purchase made by the senator, Mrs.
Akin received It and opened 1L Un
wrapping the paper, she found a large
pasteboard box, thoroughly Innocent
looking.
Without suspicion, Mrs. Akin re
moved the cover, and as she did so,
there was a peculiar snap on the Inside.
At-the same moment her gaze fell on a
tgfgasbomb, with a fuse about five
Inches long, and lying beside this a
pistol, Mrs. Akin was horrified, and,
wtfh a scream, let the box fall to the
floor.
Senator Akin, fearing something had
happened, rushed Into the room and
made an examination. The pistol was
found to be a toy weapon and the sup
posed bomb was a roll of wall paper,
with a deep red covering. The toy
pistol had been so arranged that the
removal of the box cover caused It to
snap. Inside of the box was the card
of a wall paper company, bearing this
inscription:
"We will help you blow up the sen
ate.”
Thoroughly appreciating the Joke,
Senator and Mrs. Akin breathed more
freely and decided It was not necessary
to notify the police.

Be Irresistible.
Washington, July 4.—"I honestly be
lieve Ihsl John Temple Graves' sugges,
tUm of Roosevelt and Iloke Smith a* a
presidential ticket would prove Irresist
ible to the average Voter! of Georgia,
and It would be certain to sweep our
state," said I,. A. Hamilton, a substan
tial citizen of Rome, Ga, at the Ra
leigh.
Our people are at heart admirers of
the president, and many ate for him
In a most outspoken way. Of course,
we are Democrats still, but there Is
no longer with us the old caet-lrfm,
narrow iinrtlsanshlp that used to make
men support any man who was the
nominee of his party. My notion Is
that Roosevelt could be elected, hands
dosn. without runping as the candidate
of any party."
