Mitchell Out 8oon.
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec, 6.—The Mine
Workers’ Journal today contains a let
ter from President Mitchell saying he
has so far recovered that he may leave
the hospital by the close of this week.
Dr. A. M. Soule, dean of the state
agricultural college, has been Inform
ed by Chairman McLendon of the rall-
toad commission that the acceptance
by the state of a special train, which
will tour the state in the -interest of
agricultural education, wopld not be
in violation of the anti-pass order of
the commission. ^
Beginning in February, and proba
bly t running through most of that
month and March, a special train will
be taken all over the state In a cam
palgn of educating the fanners along
lines of scientific . farming, and to
arouse general Interest in the state ag
ricultural college.
It is proposed to equip a special
train with two cars In which Dean
Poule and other lecturers will give and
hold meetings of farmers at various
points, and a baggage car to carry
equipment and apparatus for helping
the cause. It is understood that the
railroads have shown u moat generous
spirit toward the project, and Dean
Soule wanted to be advised If accept
ance of such favors would be in viola
tion of the anti-pass order, which be
comes effective on January 1.
This form of agricultural campaign
work has accomplished marvels
through the West, where It has been
tried, nnd It is believed that it will
have wonderful influence In this state.
The Intlnerary nnd list of lecturers will
be announced later.
Where la Atlanta Is lying the body of the
man who notified the management of the
Piedmont Hotel Thursday afternoon that
he would commit suicide?
Or 1ms he found a ray of sunshine In the
life which seemed so dreary twenty-four
hours ago, and which waa not worth living?
It Is a mystery the management of the
hotel nnd Captain Z. B. Moon, house deteC'
tlve, are trying to solve.
Here Is tho strange missive fou
bellboy cleaning up the writing deskf
Thursday afternoon, and which he dellv
ered breathlessly and terror-stricken
Clerk Calvin:
“I am without money and without work,
Have no Inducement to live longer. Am
tired of life. It Is too full of disappoint
menta. Only she nnd God will ever know.
Shall shoot myself this nfternoou at i
o'clock. Rend tonight’s paper and you will
see my name and an account of my sui
cide. ”
That was all there waa. No name wns
signed to this singular forecast of a sui
cide's deadly work. Not even were there
Initials.
Hastily Clerk Galvin consulted with Man
ager Dutton. Then Captain Moou wa«
brought Into the consultation. Hotel reg
later* were produced and signatures scanned
and compared with the note found on the
writing desk.
Face* In the lobby were acanned all day
and watchful eyes kept track of guests In
their rooms. If this would-be suicide wan
at the Piedmont he must be prevented from
currying'out his program.
The note of warning annonneed that the
fatal hour was 4 o'clock. Gradually the
bauds of the clock geared that hour. And
ae they made their way slowly around the
clock dial the mors nervous and anxious
became the Piedmont officials.
Then came 4 o’clock. A traveling man in
rising from a writing desk upset the chair.
It feu to the marble floor with n loud noise.
The sound reverberated through the lohbv.
The same Impulse sent Clerk Galviu, Cap
tain Moon and Manager Dutton toward the
sound.
But not a pistol shot waa there. Nohodv
In the lobby at the fatal hour seemed oir
suicide bent. The hour passed and an
other. Then esme the night editions of
the afternoon papers. Those who had read
the mysterious missive scanned them hur-
rledly.
N° newt of a suicide! The vigilance of
the other watch of clerks never censed, it
continued nil through the night. Then the
morning paper wa* as eagerly read, but
not n Une of a mysterious miicldo.
AI T lZ ,*?fling which caused such a stir In-
dlcated that it wns a man who wielded 41ie
pen, and a man of education. But that he
*’*■ labortng under a mental strain there
waa little aouht. lie forgot to put the
meat on inducement after writing “in
ducis” at the end of u line. There were
other little points about the note which
would further Indicate this mental strain.
It is now believed by the’ Piedmont man-1
agement that the note was not wrltteu hv
- —<est, but by an outsider. Frequently otli-
ban guests use the desks and statlou-
>f the hotel.
who Is this despondent creature who
warded to die Thursday, hut who Is twenty-
four hours behind his schedule?
Maybe the fatal hour of 4 o’clock oil Fri
day will tell.

In the Lead For $1,000 In Gold ; |
That would be fine, wouldn’t it? Well, it’s easier to reach the coveted place than you think.
You can secure enough votes to put you there with ten one-year subscriptions to The Georgian
if you turn them in within the next week.
Think a moment!—Ten new yearly subscriptions
will give you 32,000 votes, under the extra vote offer
which lasts about a week longer, and this is more votes
than any candidate has up to date in the entire contest.
There will not be another such opportunity to get
votes while the race lasts, and whatever candidate
makes the most of it will have the best chance at the
first prize. Any candidate’s chances at some one of
the 94 rich prizes will be improved by taking advan
tage of this offer.
It will not come your way again—so put in your
EXTRA VOTE OFFER
Every candidate who brings or sends In a "club” of five new atx month*’ subscriptions for The Geor
gian and Kewg between the dates of Wednesday, December 4, at 8 o'clock, ami Saturday evening, December
14, at 10 o’clock, will be given an additional hhllot good for 2,000 vote*. This I* over and above the usual num
ber of vote* Issued. A new yearly subscription will count the same as two for six months, but orders for less
than six months will count In thl* offer. Two thousand extra votes will be Issued for every set sent In. For In
stance, if you were to send In flve new six months subscribers or two for a year and one for six months,
you would receive the regular number of votes and 2,000 extra vote*. If a candidate ehould send In two sets
she would be given 4,000 extra votes and so on for .very set that she turns In she will receive 2,000 extra votes
snd she Is at liberty to get as many seta as possible. The'orders nulst all be sent In together; that Is, at
least enough to make one set must be sent In at the same time. In order to mal(p this thoroughly plain, say
that you were to send In flve new six months subscriptions you would then receive the regular number of votes,
which Is 6,000, and the 2,000 extra votes, or say that you sent In two new yearly subacrlptlona and one for six
months, you would then receive 2,400 votes for each of the yearly subscriptions and 1,000 vote* for the six
months subscription, which makes a total of 5,800 votes, and then you would receive the 2,000 extra votes, which
would make ihe total for the set 7,800 vote# Instead of the 6,800 votes as formerly. This offer Is for new sub.
scrlptlops only and will not count on any old subscriptions. Extra vote* will not be Issued on any club* for
less than flve six months subscriptions and they must be new subscriptions. Changing from one member of the
family to that of another will not count as a new subscription and If you atop your paper and start It again
during the contest It will not be counted ns a new subscriber.
All subscriptions must, as usual, be paid for In advance before the ballots will be issued. And remem
ber that this ofTer Is for ten days only and that It will positively close Saturday night, December 14. at lo
o'clock. Old subscriptions do not figure on this offer, but the regular number of votes will be issued on old
subscriptions. *
best work for the next week.
