VALDOSTA WATER PLANT LOSES IB VALDOSTA, February 11.— the city water piant has sustained a total loss of $7,504.09 per year in the last five years was shown to the council by Councilman L. J. Miller when he stated that instead of rec ommending a change in rates, he desired that they should remain as at present. Mr. Miller stated to the Council that recently he had thought of as’ - ing that some changes be made, but in the meantime he had asked City Engineer W. H. Gainey to give him the actual cost of operating, as against the income, and .this was prepared covering a period of five years. The statement showed that in 1918 the city lost $833.50; in 1916 the loss amounted to $4,694,- 66, while in 1920 the city’s loss went still higher amounting to $6,- 364.43. In 1921 the deficit came down t 0 $3,712.73 and in 1922 it remained in that neighborhood, be ing $3,732.06. DE BOUCHEL FURNITURE TO GO AT AUCTION NEW ORLEANS, February 11.— Back from its’hapless journey to the home of Asa G. Candler, Sr., in At lanta, more than forty crates of Mrs. Oitazima de Bouchel’s furni ture will, be sold to the highest bid ders at an auction house here Feb ruary 14, St. Valentine’s Day. The furniture has been stored in the auction house during the three weeks in which the breach of prom ise suit of Mrs. de Bouchel against the aged capitalist was fought in the Atlanta court. In the carefully constructed crates are beautiful pieces of old family furniture, heirloom from the past. The boullion cups, one of which Mr. Candler informed his in tended bri<l,e had been broken in shipping, are believed to be a pa”t of the lot. Virtually all of the furniture had been unpacked in the Georgia home under Mr. Candler’s direction in anticipation of Vhe es tablishment of the home of the couple after the marriage that was never consummated, ~ ---V—, 3VU.00 Planters Seed Co 144.00 j Paupers ......................... 108.00 Ray, N.

WATTS, Clerk. “Ruth of the Range” By Paul Forrest Adapted from the Patheserial * Copyright, 1923, by Pat Vie Exchange, Inc. Bruce Burton, with several wcll aimed blows, threw his opponent from his saddle and spurred the horse forward, hoping to catch up with Ruth' Remington before her trail became lost. Little did he < dream that he would find the girl he loved hanging on with her last ounce of strength to the leather reins that swung over the edge of the broken bridge, from which she had been thrown. With infinite care and words of encouragement to the tired girl, he pulled her up to safety and into his arms. Words of love rushed to ; lips, bur Ruth w - ; thinking only of pushing on. Besides,' btain s gang would soon be upon them again. The buckboard was useless and they would havh to ride the unsad dled team. They cut across coun try, completely leading Stain’s men astray, and continued on to Van Dyke's cabin, feeling safe from further hindrances. Back in the Remington home, however, the absence of everyone was being taken advantage of by Peter Van Dyke. This personal enemy of Robert Remington, ada mant in his purpose of vengeance, had found the loose brick that swung open the entrance in the fireplace to Remington’s under ground laboratory. He entered and, after a thorough search of files and desk, he discovered the form ula for Fuelite and the Remington patent papers therefor. These were quickly transferred from.4heir hid ing place to Van Dyke’s pocket. Re-arranging everything so that, at, first glance, no one would suspect a. marauder, he left as he entered — unseen. Well pleased with his little coup,. Van Dyke returned to his cabin! and was himself due for a little, surprise, for he found Ruth andi Burton about to depart' with his, prisoner, they having easily over come the solitary guard. However,; now that he had the patent, Rem-', ington was welcome to his free-! dom. “Since you did not turn them.! over to me yourself, Miss Reming ton,” Van Dyke could not resist! the temptation to gloat over his' success, “I have helped myself.” He! pulled the papers far enough from his pocket for them to see that he. spoke the truth. With a, cry of rage, Remington! sprang at Van Dyke. There was, needed only a glance from Ruth toj Bruce for him to understand herj intention. She rushed to pull oft her father. As she did, Bruce! lumped on Van Dyke from the rear! and held his arms locked behind) him. Deftly Ruth slipped the pa-| pers from the pocket of the help less and raging man. “Quick, father! I have the pa pers!” cried Ruth. Father and daughter rushed for; the horses, while Bruce sqrurely* bound Van Dyke and followed,! soon catching up with them. Their: trip back to the Remington rancW was undisturbed and Ruth breathed) a sigh of deep relief. _ Several days of peace and qtrieti followed—days during which she! ..nd Biuce basked in the glory of the love that had blown into full! flower during the dangers they had. shared. “I have nothing I san offer you, sweetheart,” Bruce told her, “but with your love backing me I know RADIO, YES, RADIO We carry a complete line of Radio in sto<;k<j«» also a complete line of parts.

See Our Window Display " MONDAY AFTERNOON FEBRUARY 11, 1924 I I can make good.r ’ But to Ruth merely having a good position and making money did not make the man. Bruce had already proven his worth, and be sides she and her father needed him. When they told Remington of their happiness he advised them to wait a while before marrying. He was not as sanguine as Ruth and, felt sure that, in spite of a few day# respite from persecution, that neither Van Dyke nor the Olympus Coal Company had completely given up. Until his affairs were on a firmer foundation it would be the part of wisdom to wait.’' So Ruth and Bruce abided by his judgment and, in the meantime, enjoyed each other’s companionship. One day they visited the cavern in which was the lava pit. There they lived over again that thrilling moment when Burton first rescued Ruth. They thought they were alone, and the sound of pebbles crunching under heavy footsteps startled them. They looked up to sec a tall, lean-faced man, a knap sack slung over his back, regarding them qucstioningly. “My name’s Timothy Hawkin/,” he volunteered. “I own the land above this cavern. Who are you?” This was surprising information. Bruce answered. “We are scien tists and interested in this lava pit.” He pointed to the well of molten lava boiling at their feet “Well,” drawled the stranger who said he was Hawkins, “if you find anything valuable around here it is more than I have ever done and I’ve prospected this land for years. I’d sell out pretty cheap.” Fearing a fresh complication in her father’s plans, Ruth spoke. “My father will buy your land. Come to my house this afternoon iid the sale can be arranged.)’ , ' Hawkins was delighted at the prospect of the sale of what was to I him utterly worthless land, and promised to call. Ruth and Bruce hastened home to.break the news to Remington, who was happy at being able to at last secure the rights to the land, the owner of which he had theretofore been un able to locate. Judith, always alert in the inter ests of her employers, the Olym pus Coal Company, learned of the anticipated transaction and stole away long enough to relay the news o Jim Stain. He had little time to act, but, at all costs, this sale would have to be delayed, and he started in action a plan. Never dreaming that every min ute of delay was in favor of the coal company, Remington leisurely discussed terms with Timothy Hawkins. “I think it’s only worthless land,” Hawkins said, “But you can have it' if you pay what you think is a fair price.” That raised a fine point, for, if Remington were eventually able to ’ realize his hope of manufacturing Fuelite, the land would be valuable to him. Otherwise it was as worth i less to him as to Hawkins. Finally, however, the price was settled and i the bill of sale written. Hawkins was about to place thereon his signature when he paused and said, “Before I sign this, I want you to know that you are buying only my share..' The other half belongs to my brother who disappeared years ago.” ..This, of_course,.was a complica- tion, but half an interest was bet ter than none, and Remington tola, him to sign. e J He dipped his pen in the ink but it never reached the paper;* His hand paused in mid-air as the sound of crashing glass caused all to turn, toward the long French windows that gave entrance to the room from the veranda. _ 4 Half a dozen ruffians crowded in. and covered them with guns. 4 “This sale is off,” said the first man, speaking to Remington. “I’m the man you’ve got to deal with.” I Then he turned to Bruce Burton, “And you’re wanted by the sheriff and I’m going to take you there!” He advanced _ toward • Bruce,, heavy automatic in one hand and. handcuffs in the other.

It is doubtful if there is an organ ization in the state that has been as successful as the local one has been. M. H. Metcalf, who has been the primary cause of the success of the undertaking has neglected his own work and has given of his time with out stint to make the sales a go.
