Atlanta, April 11.—Ed C. Bruf-

Southern Journalism, was presented
with a hnndsome gold-headed cane
this week by his associates on the
Atlanta Constitution* on the occa
sion of Mr. Bruffey’u G5th birthday.
Tho name of Ed Bruffey ha* been
associated with daring newspaper
reporting for more than a quarter
of a century. When most of the
p<«ent day reporters were still un
born, Bruffey was the star police
reporter in Atlanta. A noted brand
of cigars in those davs was called
the "Ed Brultey," and tne "BrufTey
cocktail” will be recalled by gray-
ha Ired club men of Atlanta, though
the art of mixing It has long been
lost.

doorstep. It was a gr p at story. But
Bluff knew that the next day bo»h

of the scoop would be lost. It was
too late to get out an oxtra for the

up tho body nnd drngged ft under
