PETER TITTY TIRED
MIX OF HEM
Dublin Man Who Has Been
Walker’s Secretary 4 Days,
Says Job Is No Cinch
ATLANTA, July s.—This busi
ness! of being private secretary to
a Georgia governor is no easy job.
This is what Peter Twitty said
today after four days of service
as private secretary to Governor
Clifford Walker. The Laurens
county attorney has spent every
since last Saturday studying
and disposing of a mass of corres
ponderence and arranging engage
ments lor the new (mei executive
oi the state.
In fact, his life has become one
of tixmg one uate right alter an
other for the governor, for gover
nors have callers and many oi
them. Hundreds of those who vot
ed for and against Walker in the
prntary and election have written
to congratulate him. while others
have paid personal visits to the
capitol.
Hut Peter Twitty smiles and al
though he admits he has a hard ju'>
if closely questioned, he also de
clares he has one which he likes
and one which is affording him
much pleasure.
With the general assembly in
session almost fifty days after a
governor is inaugurated in Georgia
the staff in the executive depart
ment is kept rushed with work, the
entire time. When the lawmakers
finish their sessions, it always takes
several weeks to complete details
left as a result of their work.
The governor’s private secretary
comes in contact with every one
wishing to take up matters with the
chief executive and also renders
muih assistance to newspapermen
when they are unable to reach Mr.
Walker.
GARBIN CAUGHT AFTER
SENSATIONAL CHASE
WAYCROSS, July s.—Milton
Garbin, negro about 25 years of
age, who is wanted here and in a
number of surrounding towns for
burgulary was captured here by Po
liceman Jackson and Captain Jus
tice of the local police force, after
a sensational chase of over a mile.
Garbin, who lived on Thomas
street is alleged to have robbed
Mcßae’s Quality Shop of several
hundred dollars worth of woolens
and other merchandise during the
month of March.
The goods were finally traced
by local police to the negro’s home
and after an unsuccessful attempt
to catch Garbin, they searched his
house and recovered over two dray
» loads of good alleged to hsve been
f stolen from Mcßae’s and other
merchants.
The negro, however eluded cap
ture at that time and left town.
Several days ago the police learned
that he had come back to Way
cross on a freight train from At
lanta, where it is believed that he
has been implicated in a number
of burglaries recently.
CHANDLER TO GO TO TRIAL
COLUMBUS, July 5.—G. C.
Chadler, indicted on the charge of
murdey by the Muscogee grand
jury, following the running down
by an automoblie and killing Mrs.
Cletha Spivey Jones, is expected to
be placed on trial at the August
term of court. A crowded ddcket
probably will prevent trial of the
case at this term of court.
DANGER MLS
■ OF INDIGESTION
The Disease That Strikes Like
Lightning
Beware of indigestion—the dis
ease that kills more people and
kills them quicker than any other.
This warning, by physicians, is par
ticularly applicable this season of

down” in tone and vigor with the
first approach of warm weather.
What are the warnings that na

indigestion? The medical books tell
us: 1. Gas, which means that your
food is fermenting instead of di
gesting. 2. A feeling of fullness or
oppression in the region of the stom
ach after eating. This means that
the gas has ballooned your stom
.• ■)) and is pressing up against your
eart and lungs. 3. A dull, lazy
j eling, which means that you are
ot getting the nourishment from
hat you are eating. 4. Restlessness,
unrefreshing sleep, which means
that the poisons of indigestion are
disturbing your brain and nerves.
5. Sometimes, pain and fluttering
karound the heart, though tjiis symp
‘ tom may cam later.
Don’t take chances with indiges
tion—you are too apt to lose. If you
have had any of the symptoms men
tioned above, get your digestive
organs to work at once with Dan-
Nax, the greatest prescription that
was ever written for a digestive

“Haunted Valley”
Bv Herbert Robinson
Adapted from the Patheserial by
Frank Leon Smith
Copyright by Pat he Exchange, Inc.
At Mallinson’s office, the next
mormng, Vivian Delamar, who was
deeply in love with her employer,
read in the newspaper the report of
the mysterious death of Dirks. A
great iear surged through her as the
thought came that Mailinson might
have had a hand in the tragedy. Her
thoughts were quickly put to rout
by the sudden entrance of Mailinson.
He gave only a curt nod to the
girl who loved him with all her
soul, and walked quickly into a
secret office where Sharkey awaited
him.
“1 suppose you know Dirks is
dead,” Sharkey grinned, and after
Mailinson nodded, he added: “You’d
better get to the control room and
make sure that his assistant is
capable of handling the situation.”
Mailinson was about to agree
when Denslow entered the room.
Denslow vas chief engineer for
Ranger, Inc., but Mailinson had pre
vailed on him to become his ally and
work against his fair employer,
Ruth Ranger
“I’ve suddenly been ordered tc
sail to the Island of Harkai to rush
that power house job,” he an
nounced, “and I don’t like to leave
until 1 know where I stand in thq
Haunted Valley matter.”
Mailinson smiled grimly. “Delay
that job,” he snapped, “until I fore
close on Haunted Valley and I’ll
add Dirks’ share to yours.”
Ruth Ranger was a very busy
young woman while this was going
on. Knowing that she must use
every available means to repay th£
million dollars to Mallinscn, and
with her curiosity thoroughly
aroused by the strange warnings of
the night before, the girl determined
to fathom the mystery of the valley.
With Dinny, her young protege, she
started on horseback.
Meanwhile, in the control room, in
ihe side of the butte, Mailinson was<
making sure that the assistant of
■ iifc late Dirks understood every bit
of the menacing machanism. As
lie looked into the projection board
that mirrored the images of all per
sons entering the valley, Mailinson
saw the image of Ruth riding
across it.
“Is everything covered up care
fully,” lie asked. “Are you sure shtl
can see no traces of the water?”
The control man reassured him, an 4
it that moment Sharkey entered.
“Does it mean anything to you,”
fe asked, “that the man at Ruth’s 1
house last night was Eugene Craig
--a so-calied civil engineer? He’s
outside the valley now and he’s
either on our trail or Miss
Ranger’s.”
Mailinson shrugged his shoulders,
out he looked worried, neverthe-i
iCSS.
"1 don’t know what Craig’s game
is,” Sharkey contirued, “but he’s a.
dangerous party.”
“Possibly you’re right,” Mailinson
answered, and turning to his control
man, he added, “Don’t harm the
girl, but if Craig enters the valley;
let him have it.” j
Meantime, while Ruth had not
seen water, she fancied she had:
heard the rushing current. It puz-i
zied the girl. Was the water—to
irrigate Haunted Valley—the key l
to all the mystery, she wondered.
Her thoughts were put to rout by
the sudden appearance of Craig on)
horseback. Since the exciting event'
of the night before a warm friend-;
ship had sprung up between the two'
young people. Ruth liked Eugene!
Craig immensely, and he had prom-,
ised to assist her in clearing up the:
mystery. ;
“You know,” she began after her;
greeting, “there isn’t a drop of water,
m the valley, and yet I am sure I
heard a running stream.”
Craig smiled. “1 can show you
something that may interest you,”!
he said. '“Just follow me.”
Together they leaped the fence;
and rode toward the grotto. Here!
thejf found Dinny, who was refresh-)
ing himself from the cool waters ofi
the spring that bubbled.

CHAPTER I
Bound To The Enemy
“It is quite possible,” Crr.ig de
clared, “that this stream whim, dis
appears here runs into a sutler. !
nean channel under Haunted Val
ley.”
“Then if we could locate this tin
derground stream in the valley, ’
Ruth replied, “it would be possi: >
to irrigate and turn the barren
ground into farm and orchard
land.”
Craig nodded. They he drew •
compass from his pocket ana sa:- 1
“You go into the valley and try n
locate the spot where you heaid th<
water. I will climb this hi. .me
help keep a direct line between the
grotto and you.”
Can’t 1 go into the Valley, t
Dinny asked the girl. His admira
tion was so great that he feit
though he should be near the girl t
all times, particularly when t.ic.c
might be danger.
Ruth smiled and told the boy m
wait outside for her. She thet
started to hunt for the spot, while
Craig watcher her.
And then Dinny—Dinny, the rest
less—happened to rest his eyes c
a big long-horn steer grazing
nearby. He quickly decided ti
i“bull-dog” it with his lariat, as la
mad seen other “cowpunchers” do.
| Dinny’s aim was true. The lariat
[fell gracefully over the steer’s head
and fastened itself there, but thi
surprised animal started to run :
fright. The boy, in his ignorance
of roping, had tied the other end !
his rope to his saddle, and wa
suddenly yanked, saddle and a 1
from the horse and dragged along
by the lunging, mad animal, 'fhc
steer, crazed with fright, rushed
against the boundary fence, broke,
it, and plunged into the valle -,
dragging Dinny and his saddle aloi.g
in his furious run.
Craig, from the hilltop, sac
Dinny’s danger, and striking his
horse a sharp blow with his quirt
he galloped furiously down to 1.0
rescue. Reaching the boundary of
the valley he urged his horse tc
clear the fence and was soot
speeding across the barren spot after
the boy.
He swiftly overtook the maddened
animal, threw his lariat, sprung from
his horse and “bull-dogged” the
steer in true western fashion. Craig
was pleased to find Dinny was un
injured—just a bit shaken up.
“Gee whiz, Mister,” Dinny grin
ned, “you’re a bear-cat at that
ropin’ stuff. I thought you was a
tenderfoot but I guess you kin give
me some lessons.”
Just then, Ruth Ranger, seeing
that something unexpected had hap
! pened, dug her spurs into her horse
and started back.
At the same time, Mallinson’s
man in the control room looped into
his mirror device—and saw that
Craig was in the valley. Remember
ing his orders he rushed to a corner
of the room, glanced at the section
chart and pulled a lever. Craig and
Dinny suddenly felt themselves fall
ing through the earth.
Ruth Ranger, horrified, and
scarcely believing her eyes, seized
her lariat from the pommel of her
saddle, leaped from her horse and
rushed toward the spot. Before the
girl could stop herself, she plunged
through the pitfall and dropped inn
an underground stream that whirled
along dangerously.
Craig and his young friend were
helpless in the whirlpool. The strong
current flung them downstream viol
ently asd crashed them against the
rocks on the sides. Craig managed
to seize Dinny and was about tJ
push him to a ledge for safety when
he saw with horror that Ruth had
| been plunged into the whirlpool
also. He left Dinny and attempted
to reach the girl, but she was spin
ning around helplessly and was
finally drawn down into the vortex,
out of sight.

Does Your Back Ache?
It’s usually a sign of sick kidneys,
especially if the kidney action is dis
ordered, passages scanty or too fre
quent. Don’t wait for more serious
troubles. Begin using Doan’s Kid
ney Pills. Read this Arnericus man’s
testimony.
J. E. Oliver, prop, auto paint shop,
303 Cotton Ave, says: “The turpen
tine fumes weakened my kidneys and
caused lame back. If I stooped to
pick up a pail of paint, severe pains
■aught me in the small of my back
and I could hardly move. The kid
ney secretions passed too often and
they were scanty and burned in pass
age. I had such dizzy spells I had
to grab hold of something to keep
from falling. I read about Doan’s
Kidney Pills and bought a box at the
Carswell Drug Co. They relieved me
of the backache and other symp
toms.”
