NOT SATISFACTORY.
Atlanta, May 2.—The mystery In
the Mary Phagan murder case
if anything deeper than ever this
morning. Thq-one fact of which the
police are still confident Is that the
little girl never left the factory alive
after she went there Saturday af
ternoon to get her pay. But there
ilielr knowledge ends.
It Is now known that when ‘he
detectives were quoted as saying
that they had the key to the mys
tery and that It would be eolved to
he public’s satisfaction within a few
hours, they believed that Newt Lee,
the negro Janitor, knew all about
it, and that he would make a true
confession implicating Superinten
dent Frank as the principal and
himself as the accessory. But no
such thing has happened. The po
lice are now satisfied that the negro
janitor has told what he knows: at
'cast they are inclined to believe it
likely that he has. They don’t think
Lee had anythin? to do with it, and
furthermore, while they have not
abandoned their suspicion against
Frank, they admit that the evidence

of the testimony given before the

ka will be asked to tell what they
know of the alleged threats to re

FIGHT FOR FREE SCHOOL ROOKS
Atlanta, May 2.—A light for free
school books in the public schools
of Georgia will probably be made at
the coming session of tho Legisla
ture. Representative McCrory, of
Schley county, has already framed a
measure under the provisions of
which the ’tats would publish its
own text hooks and furnish them to
all the schools.
The expense of purchasing text
books for the public schools is now,
of course, directly on tho peonle,
and It Is said to weigh heavily
among the poorer families, particu
larly in rural districts where cash Is
scarce.
Many states of the union, particu
larly In the middle west, have long
been using a free text book system.

ley which has a dimension
1 feet and 1 Inch in circumference.
This tree has long been supposedly
the largest oak in the world
But Hon. W. H. Sharp, member
of the Toombs County Board
Education and a prominent Geor
gian, has called attention to the
fact that In the Southern section of
that county on the farm of 3. P.
Smith, there is a giant live oak that
measures 25 feet in circumference.
The shade of this tree at noon covers
more than a fourth of an acre. It
is said to be not quite so tall as the
heighf ascribed to the famous Cali
fornia oak, but to make up for that
the branches are more widespread
and the foliage is more luxuriant.
Georgia’s only distinction at pres
ent In the physical geography is the
fact that In Stone Mountain she has
the largest single granits boulder in
the world. With the formal vertl-
fleation of the measurements given
by Mr. Sharp, the oak trea la
Toombs county may take its pla'*e
ns a world wonder side by side with
Stone Mountain. * j
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
Did you ever tak»* your lady friend
to see a game of ball.
And sit tip In the grandstand
where you couldn’t smoke,
And as you watched the catcher tag
the runner, hear her call’
"What made that Horrid big man
give the little one a poke?”
The game begins to liven up—some
fellow makes a hit;
The runner scores from second,
and the people roar and
shout;
Then just ae you start cheering you
win throw a double fit
When the maiden murmurs soft
ly: “What’s this racket all
about?”
She asks you why the catcher wears
a pil’ow on his hand,
Or why they have him muzzled;
“Is he such an awful brute?”
’What makes the fellow hit the ba’l
and run to beat the band?”
Small wonder then that you will
feel like some big rube ga
loot.
She asks you what an error la* and
what they mean by “bunt,”
And when the game Is over, she
wants to know who won.
“Oh, wasn't it exciting—it was suc.i
a jolly stunt;
I don’t remember when it was 1
ever had such fun!”
Yes, this is what you're up against,
unless she knows the game.
You wonder why on earth, then,
you ever brought her out.
Your outfield makes a brilliant
catch; she murmurs; “What
a shame!"
Oh. you’re strictly up against It—
there isn’t any doubt.
