Mysteriously Disappeared From Her
Home on Weiinesduy Last—Investi
gation of the Case in Progress by
the Corouer and Sheriff.
Atlanta, Juno 10.—Great excitement
was created at Poplar Springs, near De
catur, this morning by tho finding of
the body of Bertha Jackson, the 11-year-
old adopted daughter of R. S. Flowers,
a dairyman. The child disappeared last
Wednesday afternoon about 4 o’clock.
Nothing was seen or heard of her uutil
this morning, when her body was found.
^ tat is believed the child was murdered.
Tho sheriff and tho coroner have gone
to the placo where tho body was found
to investigate the affair.
The child was adopted by Flowers
about three years ago, having no chil
dren of his own.
Last Wednesday morning Mrs. Flow
ers left tho city to visit friends at Grif
fin, leaving Bertha tonssist Mr. Flowers
about the dairy. She was last seen
about 3:30 o’clock on Wednesday, when
her adopted father was talking with her
in the dairy.
Calling her a half hour later, sho did
not nuswer.
Mr. Flowers immediately instituted a
thorough search, but no traco of the
child could be found. It was at first
thought that she had run away, as Mr.
Flowers discovered that sho had put on
her best dress since tho two had been
talking together.
When at nightfall there were still no
tidings of tho missing child, Mr. Flow
ers came to the city and reported the
matter to the police, leaving her picture.

The First Christian Baptism Adminis

Macon, Juno 10. — Vicar General
Keily of the Carbolic dioceso of Georgia
made the following statement whilo in
a reminiscent mood:
“The first Christian baptism in Amer
ica took place at about tbo site of Macon,
Ga., in 1504. This inay seem a strange
statement, but it is true. Accompany
ing the expedition of Hernando do Soto,
who made his memorable tour of dis
covery- through this portion of America,
was u Dominican priest, anil the re
cords show that two Indians were bap
tized by him in litis portion of the coun
try. From the description given I am
satisfied that tho baptism occurred at
about where tho city of Macon now
stands.” . _ ,
Macon has become an important Oath-

Protection of Natives.
“Tho ordinances woro necessary for
the protection of tho natives, as tho
general laws of the United States do not
tit tho conditions in tho islands. The
possessions aro divided into counties,
each governed by a native officer ap
pointed by tho Amorican commander.
This system has ploasod tho Samoans.
Recently tho chiefs at Faga Togo off

ment at a reasonable price, and an

London mission works among them.
All the natives are Christians, and aro

Work Is Unnecessary.
•Peace was what the islanders needed.
They had been warring perpetually,
and the warfaro interfered with pro
duction. Tho soil voluntarily yields
bread fruit, cocoanut and everything
tho Samoans require to eat, aud there is
really no reason why they should work.
It is not suprismg, therefore, that they
are inclined to idleness.
“Under the American stimulus, tho
product of our possessions ought to
double within a year or two. The area
of plantation is increasing. Copra is
tho principal production, although the
cocoa and tobacco crops are worth no

The chief value of tho islands to tho

Scarcity of Farm Labor.
Raleigh. June 11.—It is said by farm
ers that labor is so scarce and high—that
iB the floating labor which they so great
ly demand at certain seasons—that a
curtailment of acreage seems necessary.
Tho farmers who plant cotton nine times
out of teu plant more thau they can
pick. A curtailment of acreage and the
permitting of much land to grow up lit
timber would boa great advantage: a
greater one still if good hard-wood trees
like the walnut were planted. This is
tho view taken by Governor Aycocli
and other observant men.

over tho articlesappearingin the United

comparisons with the government of
the United States at Tntilla. The crit
icisms are declared to be unfair. The
German governor ha-, it is said, acted
with a great deal of tact iu dealing with
the natives aud succeeded in tho diffi
cult task he had before Him. Ho 1ms
brought the rival factious together and
now there is a desire to unite and form
a strong government. The natives are
contented, for they are left pretty well
to themselves and have not felt any
harsh rule. The government has suc
ceeded iu purchasing the whole of the
native and alien claims on the beach
front in Fagatogn. This gives the gov-
eminent a long stretch of sea front aud

Decision Hemlered by Judge John S,
Candler Is Iteverscd—Money Cannot
Ho Taken From Public Property
Fund to Pay Tenchers.
Atlanta, Jttno 12.—State Treasurer
Robert E. Park has no right to use tho
pnbllc property fond to pay tho school*
teachers of Georgia or for any other
purpose except the payment of the
bonded debt of tho state. This was de
cided by tho supreme court today, when
tho doclslon iu tho mandamus suit
ugaiust Treasurer Park was handed
down.
This decision means that tho teaohers
will have to do without money until the
legislature meets and makes special pro
vision for them, unless Governor Cand
ler borrows money with wbioh to pay
them before that tirno.
Celebrated Case.
The ease is ono of the most celebrated
in the annals of tho state. The treas
urer, shortly before tho time for draw
ing warrants for the pay of the teach
ers carno about, notified tho governor
that ho had no money in the treasury
with which to pay such warrants if
drawn, and therefore would not pay
them.
It had long been customary to borrow
from the public property fund, the
amount to be repaid when the state
taxes were received.
This was suggested to the treasurer,
and the suggestion ha tnrued down. Ha
declared, that though such borrowing
bad boon the precedent, he would not
follow it, as, in his opinion, it was a
plain violation of the constitutional pro
vision which enjoined that the publio
property laud was to be employed for
no other purpose whatsoever except to
file payment of the publio debt.
Carried Into Court.
Tho governor appealed to tho court*.
The case camo first before Judge Jobs
S. Candler, who decided that Treasurer
Park had no right to raise the issue.
Ou May 5 Judge Candler, after hear
ing argument, issued a writ of man
damus to compel Treasurer R. E. Park
to draw on tho $200,000 in the state
treasury derived from the sale of the
Northeastern railroad and the $77,850 of
other funds for the purpose of paying
the warrants for tho school teachers,
amounting to $280,000.
A bill of exceptions was prepared on
June 8 by Washington Dessau, attorney
for Treasurer Park, and the case was
carried to the supremo court.
