M’ADOO VOTE
FOUR TO ONE
OVER TEXAS
Dallas, Tex.—Of the 922 pre
cincts reported Monday from Satur
day’s Democratic precinct conven
tions in Texas 497 were favorable to
McAdoo for Presidential nomina
tion. Ninety-two were for Senator
Underwood and 333 were non-com
mital.
Cohen’s Comment.
Atlanta.—“T.ie smashing victory
in Texas, where McAdoo won by 4
to 1 over Underwood, and McAdoo’s
decisive victory in the state of
Washington show that the South and
West have united upon him as the
outstanding man in the Democratic
party for the Presidential nomina
tion,” declared Major John S. Co
hen, new 'nationals committeeman
from Georgia, commenting Monday
upon the most recent McAdoo tri
umph.
“When the favorite sons are elim
inated, the Solid South will be in
line and already McAdoo has fifty
more votes than Wilson had on the
first ballot at Baltimore. South Car
olina acts today and instructed or
uninstructed, her votes will be cast
for McAdoo,”
MYSTERY WOMAN
IS RECOGNIZED
Atlanta’s “mystery woman,” at
police headquarters since Sunday
night, was identified Wednesday by
friends who recognized her photo
graph in Tuesday’s edition of The
Journal, according to the police, as
Miss Jane Allen, of Lawrenceville
and Atlanta.
Miss Allen is said to have two
brothers in Lawrencevile and a sis
ter in Atlanta, and the police report
that Mrs. Ed Grant, of 319 Stewart
avenue, recognized the old lady as
her sister when escorted to her res
idence.
According to information received
by Acting Chief of Police Jett, Miss
Allen’s two brothers in Lawrence
ville are Clark and Press Allen. Miss
Allen is said to have been in ill
health since her mother died four
years ago, and has been cared for by
her brothers and sisters since that
time.
She is being detained at the po
lice station until arrangements are
made for her disposition. She is six
ty-five years.—Atlanta Journal.
BURIED A HUNDRED YEARS
BODY STANDS UPRIGHT
After lying peacefully in the
grave for more than ' a hundred
years, the remains of two former
citizens of this town stand upright
above the place of their long sleep,
as the result of the terriffic storm
which swept this section last week.
Buried in the old cemetery sa long
ago that no mark is left to show who
the dead were, and so long ago that
a massive oak tree had grown up
over the graves, two skeletons were
raised above the level of the ground
and stood almost upright when tha
tree was uprooted by the storm. The
roots of the tree seem to have grown
around the coffins, wrapping them
completely up, and while the coffins
have long since gone to decay, these
roots have formed a new casket, in
which the remains have lain until
raising by the falling -of - the great
oak.
CITY WATER AGAIN
SAVES THE TOWN
The cottage on Railroad Avenue,
owned by Mr. John Oakes and occu
pied by Mr. and Mrs. Manson Styles
was discovered on fire about 9
o’clock Thursday morning and only
an abundant supply (!f . city water
and quick action of volunteer fire
meri saved several hbmes from des
truction.
Mrs. Styles was busy in the home
when the fire was discovered be
tween the ceiling and the roof and
the response to the fire whistle
alarm was almpst instantaneous.
Practically the entire contents of
the house were removed to nearby
home with little damage. The house,
a four room wood structure, was
badly bqrned, most of the damage
being to the roof.
A slow rain and no wind aided
the fight to save this and other
structures. The cottage is next door
to the home of Mr. John Oakes and
on the south is a cottage owned by
Mr. Lish Oakes and occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Willis Day.

ISSUED EVERY
MONDAY and THURSDAY
“HISTORY OF THE
PUBLIC DOMAIN
OF GEORGIA'’
lion. S. G. McLendon, secretary
of State, has just published a most
interesting “History of the Public
Domain of Georgia.”
The book should be used in every
school in Georgia and every citizen
of the state should have a copy of:
this most valuable book in his home.
Below we print a few criticisms
from competent judges:
Chancellor Barrow, of the Univer
sity of Georgia: "I have read the
book with interest and profit. You
have added to the list of valuable
services to the state by this work.”
Dr. L. L. Knight, State Historian:
“It is a wonderful contribution to
the state's history which Mr. Mc-
Lendon has made; —a wonderful
contribution to Americana.”
Dr. N. H. Ballard, State Superin
tendent of Schools: "A great contri
bution to Georgia history.”
Atlanta Constitution: "The Con
stitution unreservedly congratulates
the author upon the great service he
has rendered those living, and the
future generations, in the prepara
tion of this remarkable volume.”
Savannah News: “A distinct and
valuable Contribution to Georgia his
tory. It ia as interesting as a novel
and brings to present day freshness
the chronicles of former days.”
Macon Telegraph: “A special val
ue of the book lies in the fact that it
is very largely documentary, and,
therefore, the facts presented are
beyond controversy.”
Athens Banner-Herald: “This his
tory of the Public Domain of Geor
gia is a valuabe record, and should
be included in the list of text books
for every high school in the state.”

his audiences by his strong »*ul ap

home in Buford after preaching Fri
day r.ight.
An interesting fact this week has
bean the voluntary closing of the
business houses in town for the af
ternoon services, and the attendance
of the men upon the services has
been marked. This was a splendid
thing for the business men to do.
The attendance of the children
and young people has been remark
able. Thay have manifested a very'’
deep interest from the very' begin--
ning, and the Junior Choir has add
ed much to the music. The music„
with just the home folk and visitors
singing, has been very good, and
through Wednesday night the fol
lowing had joined the church: Imo
ger.e Byrd, P. D. Green, Nellie
Camp, Horned Davis, Garland Free
