It is proposed to equip a special train with two cars In which Dean Poule and other lecturers will give and hold meetings of farmers at various points, and a baggage car to carry equipment and apparatus for helping the cause.

This form of agricultural campaign work has accomplished marvels through the West, where It has been tried, nnd It is believed that it will have wonderful influence In this state. The Intlnerary nnd list of lecturers will be announced later. Where la Atlanta Is lying the body of the man who notified the management of the Piedmont Hotel Thursday afternoon that he would commit suicide? Or 1ms he found a ray of sunshine In the life which seemed so dreary twenty-four hours ago, and which waa not worth living? It Is a mystery the management of the hotel nnd Captain Z. B. Moon, house deteC' tlve, are trying to solve. Here Is tho strange missive fou bellboy cleaning up the writing deskf Thursday afternoon, and which he dellv ered breathlessly and terror-stricken Clerk Calvin: “I am without money and without work, Have no Inducement to live longer. Am tired of life. It Is too full of disappoint menta. Only she nnd God will ever know. Shall shoot myself this nfternoou at i o'clock. Rend tonight’s paper and you will see my name and an account of my sui cide. ” That was all there waa. No name wns signed to this singular forecast of a sui cide's deadly work. Not even were there Initials. Hastily Clerk Galvin consulted with Man ager Dutton. Then Captain Moou wa« brought Into the consultation. Hotel reg later* were produced and signatures scanned and compared with the note found on the writing desk. Face* In the lobby were acanned all day and watchful eyes kept track of guests In their rooms. If this would-be suicide wan at the Piedmont he must be prevented from currying'out his program. The note of warning annonneed that the fatal hour was 4 o'clock. Gradually the bauds of the clock geared that hour. And ae they made their way slowly around the clock dial the mors nervous and anxious became the Piedmont officials. Then came 4 o’clock. A traveling man in rising from a writing desk upset the chair. It feu to the marble floor with n loud noise. The sound reverberated through the lohbv. The same Impulse sent Clerk Galviu, Cap tain Moon and Manager Dutton toward the sound. But not a pistol shot waa there. Nohodv In the lobby at the fatal hour seemed oir suicide bent. The hour passed and an other. Then esme the night editions of the afternoon papers. Those who had read the mysterious missive scanned them hur- rledly. N° newt of a suicide! The vigilance of the other watch of clerks never censed, it continued nil through the night. Then the morning paper wa* as eagerly read, but not n Une of a mysterious miicldo. AI T lZ ,*?fling which caused such a stir In- dlcated that it wns a man who wielded 41ie pen, and a man of education. But that he *’*■ labortng under a mental strain there waa little aouht. lie forgot to put the meat on inducement after writing “in ducis” at the end of u line. There were other little points about the note which would further Indicate this mental strain. It is now believed by the’ Piedmont man-1 agement that the note was not wrltteu hv - —<est, but by an outsider. Frequently otli- ban guests use the desks and statlou- >f the hotel. who Is this despondent creature who warded to die Thursday, hut who Is twenty- four hours behind his schedule? Maybe the fatal hour of 4 o’clock oil Fri day will tell. LEAGUE FRANCHISE MAY BE BOUGHT BY CHATTANOOGA Special to The Georgian. Chattanooga.
