Hi When the brain storm waa over he found himself III In Atfanta and to thla day he can not tell why he left his home and family. tin Wednesday hs left for hla home ’way down East to make an unhappy wife glad of heart and to see whether or not death would claim hla little son. The case of Chambers waa a moat singular one. He worked for a rail road In hla town, made a moderate salary and waa happy with hie wife and several children. Then ,one day he received a copy of The Georgian. He read It with Inter est.

"It must have been a brain storm.” A physician called to attend Cham bers by Secretary Logan said Cham bers' plight had been due to something of that kind or temporary aberration of the mind.

Stevens, a member of the rallroud com mission of Georgia. Thla Is one of the rather startling de velopment! crowing out of Mr. Phln- Ixy's now famous fight to secure an.ex amination of the property .of the Geor gia railroad bar tha commlsalon. aided by an expert. The challenge was Issued late Wed nesday evening at tha tog end of the hearing. It came after a day of gruel ling work and mighty muck-raking and antl-muck-raklng. After hearing all the evidence, the commission an nounced that the caae would be taken under advisement. It was then that Colonel Stevens turned fiercely on the doughtv Augusta editor and threw down the gauntlet: Bowdre. you are a pretty game fighter. You have nerve, grift, sand, and all that eort of thing. Now, I ant to put you to the supreme teat. Issue a challenge to you here and now. deliberately, calmly and llrmly. to walk the track of the Georgia railroad Ith me from Atlanta to Augusta—or Augusta to Atlanta, aa you may choose” Mr. Phlntsy turned deadly pale and shrunk back In dismay before the fe- rocloua challenge. "Wh-a-at's th-a-a-t?" he gasped, hla 200 pounds of avoirdupois quivering at the thought of 1?) miles of "hooting It." "Just what 1 say." replied the col onel. "Gee. colonel; you wouldn't aak a man of my weight to count ties over that dlstanre, would you?" "Hure Come on now and be game. Let's show 'em something In the wny of real red hot Investigating. Why, Howdrei think of the fame of It! ' We could count every decayed crosatle, collect every dlaplaceil spike and all such things. Why. man alive. It Is the opportunity of a life time." Hut Mr. Phlnlsy could not see It In that lnvl.log light, and he welched squarely on the proposition Colonel. I will meet you In a water melon-eating contest or an effort to break the world's record on eating Kl- berlas. but not that other, not that other." Ae Mr. Phlnlsy d-juried. Colonel Stevens heaved a hls.iiy sigh of relief and said-: "Thank goodness, that fellow did not take me at luy word."
