Hell, who bus l>een in the state saitarium about three years, and who for several months has been pleading for a chance to prove his sanity and thereby be released from what he pictures to I*> the most awful of all places, has found a friend —u good one, too —who will proceed at once in an effort to have Mr. Hell re leased. The Dublin Times of tin* 21st, says : “Mr. Karl Camp, the city attor ney, is making Home investiga tions with the view of helping Hon. (100. S. Hell of Swainshoro to obtain his freedom. He is now confined in the state sanitarium at Milledgevillc. It. is alledged that he is crazy. it is to be recalled by many that Mr. Hell stated that he was being kept, in the sanitarium ille gally, and claims that he is not insane, lie says he is in full pos session of all his senses. Some months ago Mr. Hell es caped from his confinement, went to Macon and threw a brick through the postnflice there, lb said lie did this at, t lie I imo so t lie government authorities could han dle his case, and he would ho giv en a hearing. Instead of this, lie was nguin placed buck in the sani tarium. Mr. Camp is a close friended Mr. Hell, and wants to use some effort to have him released. Ih* has written the authorities at, M i I - ledgeville and will take the matter up wtill (hem. Mr. Hell Ims been in the Manila rium about three years. Several years ho was editor of the Rwnins boro Wiregrass Blade, lie has also served in the legislature from Kinamiel county, lie used to lie a professional actor, lie has :i| - pea red here several times, and his friends here are glad to know of the effort that Mr. Camp is milk ing in his behalf." If the letter Mr. Hell published a short time ago m the Dublin pa per was a true picture of the sur roundings, there is something aw fully wrong somewhere, ami the same should he righted. Mr. Camp's investigation will be watched with interest by M. Hell's many friends throughout the state. ADVERTISING TALK. i»j eet a little red blood into your ad. Put a little human interns into it. Never mind these old, worn-out/ stilted, tiresome advertising phra ses, which barnacle nearly every ad. in nearly every periodical pub lished in the universe. Those poor phrases have become ho universal and so mechanical, they lack sincerity. Please do not take them in earn est but let them go into one mi' and out the other. Business isn’t a funeral. Advertising ought not todealin doleful sounds. You can't draw a render to you by repulsing him with austerity. Talk English in your ads.— plain everyday, I’ncle Ram's Kn glish. Talk to your render as if you were talking to him with your mouth, not your pen. He'll pay more attention to you. He’ll enjoy it more. lie'll not mistrust you. He’ll have more confidence in wlmt you say, because studied words engender suspicion. He’ll say to lumsclt, “That’s a man that means what lie says.’’ And when he thinks that,v« u’ve got him on Ins way to your store. That's all. That's enough.—William Dar win Follows in Trade.

The Monitor, in its issue of the l it h iost., published a notice to] the elfi-ct that the “College on Wheels” would leave Athens about the first of March, to tour the stall —visit every county, and we urged the people to watch for the . date on which the train would be in Mt. Vernon, and be on hand to see it, but the train will not make the trip this year. The following is explanatory: “The ‘Agricultural Special’ of the State College of Agriculture, which toured the state so success fully in the interest of agricultur al education last February and March, will not run again this year, contrary to general expecta tion, and the hopes of the trustees of the college. This decision was reached ut the meeting of the hoard of trustees in Atlu-ns, fin the showing of Dr. Andrew M. Houle, president of the college, that lie could not possibly get ready in time to run the train. The college lias just moved into its handsome new building, and is still in a state of disarrangement. I Its roster of students is consider-; ably larger, also, than had been anticipated, and it would be diffi cult, according to Dr. Soule, to -pare members of the faculty for work with the train this year. Plans are positive, though, it is stated, for a tour of the state next year with larger and more com prehensive exhibits than the col lege could possibly have put on wheels t his year.” The Monitor regrets ever so much the train’s not being run. for, the view wo take cf it is, all farmers, and the people in gener al, are greatly benolitted by see ing the wonderfully fine exhibits, and henring the lectures given by the experts who accompany these I exhibits. ASA ROUNTREE KILLED INSTANTLY BY ANDREWS. At Heidsv ille on the morning of j the IMb Asa Rountree was shot! anil instantly killed by George Andrews, one of the most promi nent and wealthy planters of Tatt- ! I nail county. The trouble arose over an al leged account Andrews held against Rountree. The latter wanted to sell a bale of cotton and Andrews objected. Ilot words led to a personal encounter. ! j Rountree procured a shotgun j and began tiring at Andrews, who] barricaded himself behind a mule. I’lie first shot by Rountree struck the mule, and except for its pres ence Andrews would have un doubtedly been struck by the icharge. Andrews drew Ins pistol and i shot Rountree, killing him in- I stantly. The people throughout the com- j muiuty place no blame on An drews, but on the other hand say he was perfectly justifiable. Both men have families. WORK COMMENCED j ON BIG ENTERPRISE. A -live work has commenced at | Waver'mss by the lb-bard Cypress!
