JAKE SUMMERVILLE CAR AND GET OFF AT HEARD AVENUE; WALK ONE BLOCK NORTH. I Murder Mysteries of Augusta Killing of Will Anderson A few mtnut. “ before 12 o'clock on ! a hltti-r cold nlftht. In February, 1905, 1 Private .1 C, Smith of the Augusta I police force, took shelter close to the oofet *a|| of a store at Kollock and D'Anttgnac tcrecta, where he could j mis* ihe wind and keep a close look out down Kollock street, toward the | Iximbard crossing, for hla relief then due In a very short while. Suddenly, as he etood thus watch ,ua and waiting, two dark forms dart j (>d out from the ehadow of a big | tree opposite, the front gate to the j home of Will Anderson, then a real j dent of the house that stands next place north of tin- old Second Baptist ! efturch building liiHtlnntvely, the po-, | Bosnian followed, hoping If he hurried ! I to overtake the men. and Investigate! their strange behaviour. Before he ! had proceeded more than thirty vardK they were out, of sight, having dis appeared around a corner at Tal colt street. WPii dogged persistence, though, the officer Kept on. At Anderson’h gate he stumbled and almost fall j aerosa the latter's prostrate form, ly leg Just In Hi'- yard entrance. Smith raised ihe man up. when he had sum moned all his courage lo overcome the nerve shock of such a horrible discovery, hut Anderson was appar ently dead. Blood spurted from a great hole In the side of hln head, Just above the right ear, snd when Ihe policeman laid him down again lo strike a mtileh and examine more closely he found a piece of lead pi ping, twelve Inches or more In length, lying close to the fence, where ths desperate thug had dropped It when In- struck the fatal blow. Hinllli awakened Mrs. Anderson and together they carried the unconscious man Inside. A doctor was summoned and next day he was taken to the city hospital, where he died In twenty-four ,iouis, without having ever recovered consciousness. Iha was perhaps the darkest mur. iier ever done In the elty of Augusta. About the whole affair hung a cloak of mystery so Impenetrable that po- Hre detectives were never able to se cure the slightest clue. No arrest was even made The sleuths suspected lio man. They were absolutely In the dark, with no starting point from whleh to begin their search. Anderson was rohhed; his clothing showed that The highwaymen are supposed to have seeured a roll of greenbacks amounting to three hum drod dollars, maybe more They did not take a few dollars in silver mon ey that the unfortunate man carried In a pocket separate from life larger sum. Smith was unable to say whether I he luglllves wore white or black. 1.0 merely caught a glimpse of them as they emerged from the shadow and timdi olf in a dead run. He heard no cry. nor did the sound of a struggle reach hi* ear*. Anderson kepi a meat house at Campbell anl Uugas street*. He left the place alone and nobody saw him on hla way home.

As I rose to my feet I THE AUGUSTA HERALD MAN'S PLACE , NOT WOMAN'S The superintendent of famous old cotton mills In Massachusetts has written a letter expressing his feel ings and conviction* upon the ques jtion so Important at ail times: Wo j roan's place In the industrial world. Mr Martin superintends over l twenty five hundred people in hi* ! mills, and his experience has been wide and varied from Nova Scotia Ito California. Mr. Martin j»ays; * "I claim that in giving women men’* •vork, we have done her the greatest harm and injured our home land. We have narrowed her and there is no freedom In It. There are too many i good women at work in the places of i men. What we need Is more men at work wuere these women work, and who would be capable of support ing homes and take these good women and make them happy wives. “We need these women to grace lovely little homes and make them ( harming. 1 claim that it is wrong to engage a woman to do a man's work. There is no grander sphere for wo manhood than in caring for a home. The press, the church; the good writ ers should take up thl* subject, and women should be more encouraged to marry and make homes instead of har boring the mistaken notion that, she must go out and be the wage earner. That is man's place, riot woman's." Mr Martin has, of course, the right view of this subject; the view which must be held by all those who study the nature of man and woman, and who realize why the sexes were cre ated Woman was never meant to go outside the home for employment. Mr. Martin speaks still further re garding wages; woman is paid twelve dollars a week, he says, for work which a man formerly did for twen ty-five, and this shuts men from em ployment, while it shuts the woman from the home. In fart, destroys the home. But all this evil con dition started with man's greed and selfishness. First of all, some man who received his twenty-five dollars a week failed to divide it fairly with his wife and children. It went into the saloon, the pool room or the rare track This compelled the woman to ask for employment, herself. When the employer found that the woman The Sympathy of a Nation Goes to Italian, Who Lost The Marathon LONDON. —The enthusiasm with which the heroes of the Marathon race were greeted In Condon, and the tremendous Interest which the rare has evoked, have made the vic tory lo an American all the more tri umphant .and among the history of athletic contests that race will stand out as memorable and historic. American enthusiasm and American generosity will, however, readily grant that the winner of the race, Mr. Hayes, was not the central figure of that strange scene. Under the burning sun. acrrrss the glaring roads of the dusty country, fifteen men started In this race. Along the way the crowds had cheered them as they passed through the long and well kjiown route from Windsor to Har row Wembley and Worn wood Scrubbs Countries were represented, new and old, each man bem on carrying away for his nation the laurel wreath of the Marathon race. At the Stadium Itself SO.OOO people waited breathless, 80,000 heads turned toward the en trance waiting, waiting under the burning sun for the arrival of the first figure which should herald vie torv to the hero of the day. At. last a man staggered into the Stadium, pale as death, his hands hanging limply before him. his head sunk up on his breast, a little man who look ed more as though he had escaped f’nm some great battle, and for dear life had come to tell of the disas ter. than the winner of a contest. The pitiful little figure quivered for a mo ment. when the immense round of cheers hurst upon the air, a-id then fell and lay apparently dying. A great hush fell on the huge audi ence Women began to sob and cry that they had killed hint He lifted hi* head and was raised from the ground, and he tried once more to make those final steps, so few and, yet of such Import to him, hut the ! nerveless arms fell and his legs once ! more sank under him, and the lit tle heap lay still and motionless again The queen rose from her seat. Kvery woman was on tiptoe, watching I breathlessly. Once more he was on n.s legs again, the men around help i lr,g him. and the great crowd cheered, ,nd blindly with bent head he stag gered toward the tape Another run | tier was close behind him "Tne American.' was on everybody's Ups. nnd the sun shone on the stars aui stripes ol his vest. "C!o It Hayes, f you love usl'’ was shrieked front every American lung, as the sturdy, short man plodded his way steadtiv down lh,. track IJuruudo had heard . the cheering tor another man. and > once more gathered himself together and made a Anal effort. Once more Ihe fell, once more he waa assisted |to hts feet, and then he was over j (he line. Was he dead, as he lay so 1 motionless on the stretcher?" The i queen * pitying eyes were turned up ; on him a* they carried him from the held and then the mighty roar rose i from the rrowd The American had the victory. Just as he won Hefferon.

And bo the hall has grown, until It* enormous size shuts the doors of homes and proves an insur mountable obstacle to the marriage altar. Had the man always been Just, fair, liberal and decent in his treatment of woman financially, she would never have sought work outside her home. It .B quite true that no other sphere iB so suitable for woman as the sphere of home. But the woman who sits in a home alofie, late into the night, illy clad and illy feed, and knows that the money her husband has earned Is go ing Into unworthy places and for un worthy amusements, cannot be ex pected to feel a reverence for her posi tion as home keeper. However unfortunate the condition of tjie sexes has become through this employment of women In public of fices, it is late in the day to under take any change under our present system. Employers who mnke their millions i out of the cheap wages paid women 1 and children are not going to en courage any return to the employment j of men in their places. Women who j have grown away from the domestic plane, and who have learned the sat isfaction to be found in an independ ent purse, are not going to take a large view of the subject and re turn to the hearth, the embroidery frame and the cradle, dependent upon their husbands' mood for the use of a dollar. All the combined efforts of church, press and rostrum could never effect this change. It will have to come In other ways. It will have to come by a changed industrial system. That change is on .the way. The world never goes back. It goes on. And woman is learning great lessons in present conditions of strife and toll—lessons which will en able her to be more useful and bet ter satisfied when she again becomes the home keeper and man the wage earner. God speed the day. qualified because he had been helped to his feet. No more gracious act was ever done By the queen than when she stepped forward to offer the special cup for the Italian runner. But Por ando was to recover, and when he was well enough to give an account joi himself and the heroic effort that j he had made, in his little bed-room, 'in Shaftshury avenue, he told how It was that, on entering the Stadium, the sound of that mighty cheering had sapped his strength, that he had not lost consciousness, and he believes that he could have picked himself up without aid, although his vitality was almost spent. The Marathon race is run, but the question remaini' in my mind. What of the exhibition ' -he memory will remain to those who saw it of pale faces, dead eyes, quivering nerves, men overcome by effort. There »as a great element of cruelty In this greatest race of modern times, and the remembrance of the tragic figure of the little Itali an must not he the forerunner of a long line of others who suffer to make an English, or, rather, an internation al holiday. To women the feature of the gym nastlc displays at- the Stadium In the White City was undoubtedly that giv en by the Danish lady gymnasts. "The finest thing I have seen tor years,” remarked an eminent medleal man to me. who had himself witness ed It, “and the finest women I have ever seen." The Danish authorities have tnsis ted on gymnastic training for girls three hours a week In every school throughout the country. Convinced oi the Improvement In health and strength to the nation hv this eman cipation of women, they have set themselves steadily to work to the attainment of the flexibility of body and figure necessary to perfect hu man health. The theory was mani fested in practiee when the army of Danish amazons marched through the Stadium, tall, strong and fair, grace ful In movement, beautiful In limb, nnd forever .jey set at rest the query as lo whether strength and beauty could be allied Medical testimony has showu that the Danish children today are stronger physically and mentally than were the children of former generations. The worth of a nation certainly does not depend up on Its size, and little Denmark has In more than one way shown us wherein real advancement and civili sation consist.

Written in a sineere and kindly desire to help the young who do not know, and the older- ones who sometimes forget, * The less you require looking after, the more able you are to stand alone and complete your tasks’ the greater your reward. Then if you can not only do your work, but direct intelli gently and effectively the efforts, your reward is in exact ratio, and the more people you di rect, the higher the intelligence you can rightly lend, the more valuable is your life. Ner carry matches loose in your pocket —have a metal match-box. \ Never use letter paper or envelopes to figure on or for memoranda —it shows you do not realize that the first requisite in business is economy,- The same rule applies to burning of lights that are not needed; whether there is a meter or a “flat rate” makes no difference— avoid waste. Do not argue with customers, nor contradict them. x / The man who endures everything from rude customers and got even bv selling them a bill may not have been actuated by the best motives but his general policy was right. Always lie circumspect and courteous. Bear the faults of some, the impoliteness of others, and pardon everybody sooner than yourself. Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder them, and power Hows to the man who knows how. Don’t worry! The habit of borrowing small sums of money —anticipating pay-day—is a prenicious prac tice and breaks many a friendship. It is no kindness to loan money to a professional bor rower. * Don’t touch pencils, pens, erasers or papers on another man’s desk, unless he is there. The Golden Rule applies well here, as elsewhere. The love you liberate in your work is the only love you keep. The man with a debt he could not prevent, caused perhaps by sirkness. should go frankly to his friend or his business chief. Shun ilu* money loan shark as you would contagion. Poverty, discouragement, temptation, too of ten crime, are the fruit of that sort of “confi dential” financing. SUNDAY, AUGUST 23
