Secret service sleuths from the de partment of justice in Washington are now investigating the truth about the peonage charges against "Colonel James M. Smith, the millionaire plan ter of Oglethorpe county. It is known that negroes who made the charges against Colonel Smith to the federal authorities have been interviewed by these sleuths and that a full report on the case is being secured. 1t ig - Quite probable a visit will be pgid Col-- onel Smith’s plantation and possibly -the sleuths will call on the colonei, _ himself.

This time he has been favored by his friends in Habersham county, and .on the handle of the gourd s inscribed, ‘“Habersham coun- Ly, 1909.” One or the governor’s visi tors a day or so ago told him that the governnor’s gouwrd had made that old-fashioned dnnking utensil the thing in this county. He said that the market tor gourds was brisk and that they had become quite the thing, as a drinking vessel in the fashion able society of his community, | A case of pellagra, the victim of which claims never to have eaten corn bread or any corn products, has been discovered in Atlanta, Mrs. Kate Barto is the patient, and she is in the last stages of tne disease. Dr. Frank Eskridge, who claims to have treated many cases of the disease, says he doubted his own diagnosis and thought she might be a vieum of “sprue,” a disease known to the trop ics, with symptoms resembling those of peilegra, He called in a physician who has had years of experience_in the tropics and found that his orig-l inal diagnosis was correct. ‘I am convinced now,” he said, “that the di. l sease does not come from musty corn products.” The second flight at Athens of the aeroplane of Ben Epps and Zump Huff was not as successtul as the first. The first attempt at flight the machine left the ground about one foot for a distance of fifty yeards, but at the second trial the aeroplane fail ed to leave the ground. The attempt at flight was witnessed by fully a thousand people, The failure ‘of the machine to ny is attributed to the roughness of the ground and tne poor start received. Instead of having a trackway prepared along which the machine could glide to its start, the young men chose to make the start on the plain hillside which had more or less unevenness, The result was the machine got no start and there was much lost motion, The twisting of the machine over the uneven ground caused one of the wheels to sprcad and the machine was brought to a sudden stop.”The young men will have a trackway constructed at once and will enlarge the propeller blades | of the machine. They were not in the least daunted by their failure and will try again in a few days, William H, Mitchell of Thomasville must serve twelve months on the chaingang.

COOK IN COPENHAGEN Explorer Received By the DanEsh 'King and Queen and Many of the World's Greatest Scientists—Brought Ample Proofs to Establish hig Claiss it Copenhagen, Denmark.—Dr. Freder ick A. Cook, the American explorer, returning to civilization from his dis covery of the North Pole, came into Copenhagen haibor on board* th steamer Hans KEgede trem Greenlan Dr. Cook was standing on bridge of the vessel, which flew th American filag at her mizzen mast. Crown - Prince Christian of Den mark, Maurice Egan, the American minister; the Danish minister of com merce, and commniltees representing 'public bodies, boarded the Hans Egede and welcomed Dr. Cook dn the "name of the nation and the gity. = D?r\(‘ficlok was escorted tashore . by Prince Chrigtian. The explorer was cheered by great crowds. An im mense throng followed through che streets to the Meteorciogical Insti tute, where he made a brief speech. Dr. Cook stood on the bridge of the Hans Igede, wearing a shabby brown suit that had been ioaned to him by a seaman, On his head was a disrep utable old cap, and his feet were clad in leather moccasins, His blonde hair was long and shaggy apd his mus tache rough and straggling. His com plexion was sallow, but his face was full. He was a strange figure for the center of such a brilliant scene as greeted his return to civilization. Dr. Cook stepped ashore and in an instant the police were powerless’ to“ make a way for the party. Dr. Cook and those about him were engulfed and swept along by a - clamorous. crowd. Maurice F. Egan, the Amer_t-‘ can minister and the Danish officials literally clung to Dr. Cook. Together the party fought its way desperately to the Phoenix Hotel, where Dr. Cook was the guest of the government. ‘ The members of the reception com mittee withdrew and were succeedédf by a numerous delegation of tailors, bootmakers and barbers. The ex plerer placed himself in their pards, and several tradesmen were at work on him at the same time, i At the erd of an hour Dr. Cook emerged with his hair neatly trlm,flegl.i his mustache cropped close, and .:,z:1 new suit, hat and boots. r‘ _ Dr. Cook will stay in Copenhagen for a rew;;daxs ‘s the SW;%!

He then ex plained® the doubt about the 30,000 square miles discovered, saying that; he meant they were able to see 15 miles on each side during their jour ney to the Pole, and that, therefore, a hitherto unknown territory of 80. 000 square miles was now discovered, Dr. Cook procceded to show that he was fully competent to take all ob servations, though saying that on pre vious exploring expediticns he did very little observation work, which usually was divided among the mem bers of the party. “This time,” he continued, “we had started out (o reach the Pole, and everything else was of sccondary con sideration. It was not possibly to carry certain apparatus, and it was impossible also to study the deep sea or take soundiugs. . “We carried all necessary simple instruments for astronomical observa tions, and we were lucky to obtain observations virtually every day. The positions notecd must have been near ly correct. We had three chronome ters, one watch, compasses and pedo meters. All were carefully controlled by each other from time to time, The watch, however, got cut of order. “We had all the modern instruments which other explorers have had, in cluding thermometers, barometers and sextants of the latest models. It is possible that our cbservations were better than those of earlier days, but I do not assert that I am perfectly familiar with making astronomical o}- servations, especially in the polar reglons, | think, however, that all ex plorers will be ggtisfied with my data, “Why should I sit down and invent observations?” he exclaimed. “I did not do this thing for anything but svort, and because I take a real inter FIENDS WRECK TRAIN. 4 Killed and 35 Injuret, Result of Train Wreckers’ Wark.

Its gen eral character is not very different rom “that at other places. We stayed around the pole for two days, making ,_robeervatlons. 1 do not 'claim to have put my finger on the exact spot; 1 do not claim to have put my it, but personally I think we haye. been at the spot. When the observations have been figured out again, it is possible that there will be found slight.errors and differences, butil am certain that a gunshot fired from where we were would have | pasged over the pole. ~ “We planted the stars and stripes at What we believed to be the pole, butfdidn’t leave the flag with a staff. Insfead, I placed a small silk flag in § cylinder with my card, and the réedrd of the journey with the date.

I took about 400 photographs, one of which shows the American flag flying, These, as yet, have not been developed. Questioned regarding his great speed, Dr. Cook said: “The dally distance covered on the northwest trip was slightly less than fitteen miles; on the southward trip it was 10 miles. This is not an ab normal distance for Eskimos on the ice, They often travel fifty or sixty miles with dogs. One of the greatest advantages of our trip was that | did not take a famine route. We had ‘game for a long time, perhaps for a hundred miles. We fed our dogs well throughout the winter in Greenland, and ran them 400 miles, giving them fresh ‘meat every day. Thus we brought them to the polar sea fat-and well. We had the best men and thu‘"i best dogs. - . “We lived entirely on dried mea? and beef tallow, reducing the food problem to a seience.” The last trace of animals we saw was a bear (rack at 83 degrees, Afterwards we did not see life even in the water, except Al gae, WThe drift of the ice during the ‘enti%&southem trip was slightly gouth *of east; the direction ot the wind was generally south of west, We | found several of Sverdrup’s old l campß.
