LITTLE NETTIE LOST; NIGHT IN WOODS Continued from Pago One. will probably remain a mystery. Her parents, by suggestion and other means, have tried to make her remember what she did between Monday and Tuesday mornings, but she only replies: "It was Just like I was asleep." Dr. J. T. Crawford, who was hastily summoned Tuesday morning to attend to the exhausted child, stated that there was no evidence of foul play of any kind. She had not been struck on the head or drugged or Injured in uny way, he believes. He Is Inclined to the opin ion that her inlnd was affected, al though that Is exceedingly unusual In a child of her age. Thought Father Took Her, From the time Monday afternoon when little Nettle did not return from the Fraser Street schoor with the other children to the moment she appeared so unexpectedly, the belief that her fa ther, Thomas Merrlett, a policeman of Charlotte, N. C., and from whom she has been separated since she wns yeaas old, had carried her away,.had ALEXW, STEPHENS FOR STATE SENATE Friends Say He Will Op pose Slaton in This District. ALEX W. STEPHENS.

Commission to , Take Up Telegraph Strike Complaints. been steadily growing In the nitnti the anxious family In the pretty new home In Crew street. They had no reason to believe that Mr. Merrlett hud any Intention of doing anything of the kind, but he was the only person Inter ested In the child other than them selves. Now Mr. and Mrs. Smith say that this Idea was almost foolish, al though at the time they were so wor ried about Nettle that they were pre paring to telegraph to Charlotte to find out. Nettie Is a Prodigy. In her studies nnd In reading In general little Nettle has always been a prodigy. Mr. Smith stated Tuesday that she learned to read when three years old and at the age of four taught her 6-year-old brother to read and write. At the nge of 6 she was first permitted to go to school, and entered the fourth grade with children from 10 to 13 years old. That year she di vided the honor of lending her class with another girl. Many times, Mr. Smith says, he has waked up In the night to find the little girl reading books which she had borrowed, for on the advice of physicians she was kept from rending as much as possible by the family. For four years she went to school, but nt the age of 10, when she wns In the seventh grade. It wus thought best to take her out for two years. This full she started to school again. Last Kunday she was feeling 111, she says, but wns so anxious to go to school that she did not tell her parents. Monday morning, apparently ns bright as ever, she stnrted off, her books un der her arm. up Bass street toward the Fraser Street School, Just three blocks away. Nettle's little friend. Lonnie John son. Joined her a short distance from the house and the two walked togeth er. Half way between Capitol ave nue and Fraser street Lonnie turned to go back for an umbrella. That Is the last thing Nettle remembers and the last time any one saw' her. Missing From School. At 2 o'clock, when she did not re turn, her mother, Mrs. Smith, became alarmed and notified Mr. Smith, who went to the school and found that the girl had not reported there that day. He searched the neighborhood and no tified the police. He went to a number of the parks and kept going until early Tuesday morning. He was aided In the hunt by many neighbors. Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock eev- eral members of the family were standing on the front porch discuss ing the advisability of telegraphing to Charlotte. Otho Smith, a relative, started up town. A little girl, pale, tired looking and dirty, got off a Washington street car and he recog nised the lost child. He took her home, where she tdld as much as she knew of what had happened In the twenty-four hours. She was apparently III and ex hausted from want of food, and a phy sician was called. The only clew that may tell where she spent the day and night would be the discovery of her school books, which she lost. Upon the statement that the South ern railway Is violating a naturally neutral position by compliance with the demands of the telegraph compa nies to accept commercial business, the striking telegraphers declare that a general strike will be ordered among the Order of Railway Telegraphers, tle- Ing up all the great systems, unless It Is discontinued. It Is charged that the Southern has taken the Initial step In forcing Its operntors to handle commercial busi ness, and that a telegrapher was dis charged Saturday for declining to ac cede to this demand. A called meeting of the Greenville division of the railway telegraphs was held In Gainesville. Ga., Monday night. Resolutions were adopted re questing Superintendent Fallls, of the Southern, to reinstate the discharged operator by noon on September 23. It Is said that If the request Is Ignored that a meeting will be called for the night of September 23, and that all of the railway telegraphers will be called out. Superintendent J. Levin, of the* Western Union, denies that his com pany has or Is attempting to force the railroads to handle commercial busi ness. He Is authority for the state ment that n form of agreement exists between the railway operators and the commercial men. whereby railroad operators handle certain commercial business. This, he claims, Is an agree ment that has been In existence for a long while. The local office of the Western Union claims 83 operators at work Tuesday. A representative of The Georgian was admitted to the floor, nnd It Is certain that a very large force Is at work tl\«?re. The company claims to be han dling now very near the normal amount of business. Of the three special matters set for a hearing before the railroad commission Wednesday, one has been postponed and another settled without a hearing. The complaint against the Atlanta Baggage and Cab Company was post poned for one week at the special re quest of Jacob Haas, the president, as Wednesday Is the Important festival In the Jewish church. In the case of the Georgia Manufac turing nnd Public Service Company, of Marietta, complaint has been with drawn on the promise of the Louisville and Nashville railroad to lift the em bargo against the company. • The Marietta concern complained that the Louisville and Nashville had declared nr* embargo against It, because certain cars were not unloaded prompt ly, although the company was paying demurrage charges. On the under-* standing that the embargo Is lifted, no hearing on the matter will he had. It Is probable that the commission will take up for discussion Wednesday complaints of citizens of Marietta, Gainesville, Cednrtown, Griffin, Hnhlra, PInehurst nnd Elko relative to shutting off telegraph service at those, points. According to Information from Gaines ville, the offices at that point have been opened again. In communications to the railroad commission, the telegraph companies do not acknowledge a strike, but state that their offices are still kept open. At points where commercial bilslness Is handled by the station agents, the com panies claim that messages are pur posely delayed, grounded or held up be cause the station agent Is in real sym pathy with the'strikers. While no formal notice has been sent to the telegraph companies to appear Wednesday, the commission will proba bly begin an Investigation Into the sit uation. It will probably develop to Just what extent the strike Is affecting the companies. At the meeting Wednesday the com mission will take up the complaint of a cltlxen of Atlanta against the Atlanta Gas Company. He complained that the company refused to put In a slot meter, because he was compelled. to go Into bankruptcy owing them a small amount. The exact rights of a citizen will be established In such Issues. Tuesday a conference wns held be tween the commission. Judge Hines, Hooper Alexander. W. A. Wlmblsh and Attorney General Hart. The litigation now under way relative to the passen ger reduction Issue was discussed at length.
