SENATOR OLAYSPEAKS AT BLUE RIDGE Hpeelnl to Tbe Grorgtnn, Blue Ridge, Ga„ July 21.—The Busi ness Men's League of Uluo Ridge, Ga., gave a very successful picnic at the baseball park here Saturday.

The morning game was called •t the end of the fifth Inning In order to hear the address of Senator Clny, who had to go away on the evening train. TENNESSEE WILL SURELY GO Leading Republican Favors Prohibition Amendment to Constitution. Naahvllle, Tenn., July 22.—"Tennes- aee will be a dry state within a few years—probably within the next two years, nnd while the sentiment Is so strong for temperance, I believe that our prphlbltlon law should be written Into the constitution." This declaration was made by Hon. T. Asbury Wright, of Rockwood, one of the leading Republicans of the state, and one of the moat prominent mem here of the Tennessee bar. Mr. Wright haa the distinction of be ing the author of the anti-jug law of Rockwood, the first anti-jug law ever passed by a municipality In Tennessee. In discussing the law, Mr. Wright stat- ed that It would have one of two ef fects. It would. If sustained by the courts, of which he haa little doubt, the means by which practically every dry town In Tenneeaee would prevent liquor shipments. Should the law be not sustained by the courts. It would, in his Judgment, result In a sentiment that would enact a drastic anti-jug law by the next legislature, and would help creute a sentiment that would Influ ence congress to prevent Interstate ehlpmente to dry territory. • "Temperance sentiment has had a re markable growth In Tennessee," said Mr. Wright, "and I believe that the state will ultimately pass a straight prohibition law. I was one of the sup porters of the prohibition amendment In 1907, nnd made my flret public epeechea In that campaign, and I would be glad to take the stump again for a similar cause. "The next legislature should submit an amendment to the constitution for ever prohibiting the manufacture, ator- age or aale-of spirituous, vlnoua or malt liquors within this state, and it should be made the duty of the leglalature to pass appropriate legislation for the en forcement of Ills provision. The time Is ripe for such an amendment, and I have not the slightest doubt that It would bo ratified nt the polls by an overwhelming majority. This would then forever remove the liquor question and the liquor Interests from the poli tics of the Btate.” BRYAN HONORED , BY THE MACCABEES Hon.

PIEDMONT BANK IS ORGANIZING To contradict certain talk and to put the consuming pub lic in possession of the truth, we say in plain words that no one in this town can sell as good coffee as Arhuc&les’ Ariosa for as little money. Misbranded and make-believe Mocha and Java, or coffee sold loose out of a bag or a bin, is not as good value for the money, nor can it be sold at as narrow profit, nor reach the consumer under as favorable conditions. When you buy Arbuckles’ Ariosa Coffee you get more than 16 net ozs. of straight, wholesome Brazilian coffee from the largest r coffee firm in the world, with that firm’s direct assurance that they are giving you the best coffee in the world for the money.

Elspcth Dean and Kenrlth were alone together for the first moment elnce he had told the girl that he loved her. Only a few yards away, on the other side of the secret door, which was now wide open, they could hear the murmur of the dying man’s voice, os he talked brokenly, painfully, to Lady Hilary Vane. But they could hear no words; and strange as was the situation, for a few minutes they forgot all It* strange ness, ‘except as It concerned them- eelvet. You are the bravest girl In the world,” sold Kenrlth. "No other girl could or would have .done what you have done tonight. You saved Captain Oxford's life by the risk of your own"— ns you I thought of, more than of him,” confessed Elspcth. "Per- shouldn’t have had eo much cournge If I had known that, whatever happened, you were safe and out of reach of the fire." "I think you would have Just the same courage,” said Kenrlth, “because It Is In you. I had not known you long before I recognized your strength of character, your brave self-reliance und noble loyalty, which alone would he enough to place you on a pedestal far above any other woman I have ever known. And then your sweet ness"— "Ah, you are too good to me!" brokt In the gtrl. "I am nothing, really; I'm not worthy of you. 1 never dreamed that you could even think of mo, ex. cept In kindness, and as It from far off." “I have thought of very little else for a long time now,” said Kenrlth. "But I was afraid that I was too old for you—that you couldn’t care for me as a woman should be able to care for a man If she"— ■ "Why, there's no other man In th* world," Elspeth cried. He took her In his arms; and as she stood with her head on hla breast, hearing the beating of his heart, she was more thniupald, for at! her suffer ing of the past few days would have paid for years of suffering far more cruel than she had known In those dark days. "1 thought you were In love with”— she began at lust; then stopped, feet Ing she had no right to say to him what had beon on her Ups to say. But he answered frankly. •'With Lady Lambart? No, dearest, I was never In love with her. I've never been truly In love with any worn, an until you cam* Into my life, to show me what I had unconsciously been waiting to find through all these years. 1 didn't love Lady Lambart, but I admired her. was even some what attracted by her, especially when we first met; and I admit It's not Im possible, If 1 had never seen you, that while we were thrown together here, I might have asked her to marry me. Even tonight I was wondering If It were my duty to do so, though she no longer Interested me as she had once. Rut when you and I looked Into each other’s eyes tonight 1 saw something In yours akin to what was tn my heart for you. Then I knew that after all I was not too old: that you and I were meant for each other; and that It would be a eln to offer my name to another woman, while you and t belonged to one another In love. Probably, If I had asked Lady Lambart, the wouldn't have accepted me.” Elspeth made no answer, but she hid an Incredulous stnlle on his breast. Many girls In her position would at such a moment have satisfied their In nate desire for revenge by telling all the wrongs they had suffered from a jealous rival; but Elspeth held hec peace. Even If she had not loved Lady Lantbart's daughter ah* would not have robbed the woman of such kindly friendship ss John Kenrlth could stilt give. 8he said to herself putting away a mean little temptation, that she would be glad to have him help Lady Lam bart in her difficulties. As If her thoughts bad spoken to him, he went on. "I want Lady Hilary to marry Captain Oxford. They love each other, and he's a fine fellow. She could never have been Trowbridge's wife; and now, you and I must see what we can do for those two," "You and I!” How delicious It was to hear him speak like that. Unking her future with his. "I believe," she said, "that when the whole truth about* this plot U found out, w* shall discover that Captain Ox ford Is a man of Importance, a man Lady Lambart would think twice of before refusing as a husband for her daughter.” "You think that?” Kenrlth echoed. "So do I. somehow; but ove have no very solid foundation to go upon. I'm afraid. There's the fact that * it w as worth somo one's while to have him put out of the way, but"— "Oh!” cried Lady Hilary, coming quickly into the room. "I think he's dying. Is the doctor here yet?" "Not yet," answered Kenrlth. But at this Instant the door opened and Oxford came back, with the doctor and Mr. McGowan. "Bring more light,” said Hilary. "It’s so dark there. The lantern Is burning dimly. And—he has promised to try and sign a statement, If I will write It out.” CHAPTER XXII. Deathbed Confessions. It. was a strange confession which Trowbridge had made to the girl he had loved and hoped to marry, that night when he knew that death was near. He had begun brokenly, by telling her how he had loved her, and how, for her sake, he had meant to give up a successful career of crime. "I want you to bo' happy,” he had said, "so that when you think of me It won't be In hatred. I should like your happiness to come through me, a* perhaps It might have come If I had lived and could have taught you to care for mo after you were my wife. If It weren't for that wish I'd let every secret I have of mine and of others die with me, for I've been half mad with Jealousy of Oxford ever since the flret moment I saw and fell In love with you. I came here to kill him, for an other; and afterward, to keep you two apart I would have been glad to do It for myself. But I failed, and I've got the shot In my lungs that was meant for his heart. Because I want you to forgive me, and because th* one thing you a thing you would never know If to ease the pain I'm suffering la the thought that It's In my-power to give you a hnppy future, I'm going to tell It weren't for rat.” Then the whole story had come out, brokenly, for each word he uttered was like a dagger thrust In Trow bridge's breast. He was not all American, he said, but an Austrian, who had lived tn many places, and done many things. Neither was he the millionaire he pre tended to be. “That was a pose,” he said, "and the Syndicate I* responsible for my expenses—tbe Underground Syndicate, as outsiders call It. No, I’m not going to give It away. The others are just os safe as ever, and it doesn't matter any more for my assist ant here—Countess Radepolskol, as she called herself for this occasion, and for a special purpose. She's dead. She had to die, or site would have spelled your life." — The countess, who was no count***, and who had become a Radepolskol merely because John Kenrlth had bought the Radepolskol diamond, had been sent by the Syndicate to get I' diamond; also the pearl which Ken was supposed to carry with him; atfd the Jewels*of Lady Ardcllffe, which were famous. Her own jewels, so mag. nifleont In appearance, were almost all TWO WOODWARDS WRITE JWO CURDS That Town Pump Brings on Fresh Controversy Over Old Affair. Hon. James G. Woodward, two times mayor of Atlanta, and Colonel Park Woodward, general manager of tbe water works, are out with a card each anent the recent muddy water sltua tlon. The ex-mayor says he had Intended keeping hands off, but that since his name and administration had been dragged Intd the controversy, he feels free to express his opinion. His opinion of the cause Is that the general manager Is Incompetent, and In support of this statement he cites an Instance wherein he says the pump at the river station broke down, and the general manager and the engineer both held that It could not be operated on one side. He says he hlmslf had to assume the responsibility for oper ating the pump on one side, and that the manufacturing company later said he was exactly right. General Manager Park Woodward comes back and says he called atten tion to the condition of the pump a year before and that James G. Wood ward, who was then mayor and ex-of- flclo member of the water board, took no steps to relieve the situation. He says that the citizens’ committee .ipolnted to look Into the matter em ployed an expert hydraulic engineer who reported that the pumps evidenc ed having been handled in first class style and by an efficient administra tion. The general manager says he, not the mayor. Invited the engineer put, and that lie, the general manager, :new and advised that one side of the iump could be operated. false, and her fortune equally a pre tense; money supplied by the Syndi cate that she might seem a rich wom an, above suspicion. Her maid was humbler member of the same or- C lzatlon, a person of little Initiative. skilled as an assistant. Trow bridge did not know how the countess had Intended to prove Lady Hilary, a thief, but If any Jewels—one or two of the few real ones, perhaps, possessed by tha countess—were to be hidden In Lady Hilary's room, or attached to her dress, he had no doubt that the maid had been the person to dispose of them. He had known for some years the woman who called herself the Countess of Radepolskol. She was half Polish, half French. Her real name was An nette Drltz. He, Trowbridge, had given her reason to think that he cared for her, and would marry her some day; and they had often "worked cases" to gether, though ot the Lochrain Castle Hydro they pretended to be newly ac quainted. As for himself he had come to Loch rain to play a much higher game than Annette’s; nothing less than to get rid l certain person for an Important client of the Syndicate. That person was Captain Oxford. Trowbridge had learned all ho could about the young man before attempting to fulfill this en gagement. Among ether things he had discovered -that he was In love with Lady Hilary Vane, and Intended to fol low her and her mother to the Hydro, where they were going, 1'rowbrldge had borne him no personal grudge un til he hlmzelf had seen and fallen In love with Lady Hilary. Then ho had determined to throw over Annette, whose game he had been Intending to help on all he could; marry Lady Hilary, and retire from the Syndicate on the considerable private fortune he had been able to amass tn hla profes sion. It wns he who had shot Captain Ox ford after writing him an anonymous letter appointing a place of meeting, nnd saying that he had valuable In formation to give concerning the voting man’s true parentage. The dog, Prince Charlie, had destroyed hi* aim by springing on him and biting his wrist, •o mangling It that he had been obliged to call frtr aid from Annette. He had nn appointment to keep In the secret room the same night with the man who had ordered Captain Ox ford's death—that Important client to whose advantage It was that Oxford should cease to exist.
