when at 11:35 a. m. he landed with his
mechanician within the borders of the
English metropolis, three miles east of

to descend.
Molssant suffered a bitter blow tips
iftemoon when It was announced that
The Dally Mall would glvo no prize for
the Parla-London flight. Both Mols

when they started from Paris that the

It waa stated at The Dally Mall ofllce
today, however, that the only prise Hint

Was that hung up for the 1,000-mlle
British circuit In 1911.
Half a million persons were on the
watch for him and cheered him as he
circled over the city, selecting his land

spectators were Americana, tourists and
members of the colony.

A remarkable feature of the flight Is
that Molssant steered the entire dla

Not since the funeral of King Ed

congregating during the night.
Motor can were banked about the
palace by the scores when morning

motorists coming from Deal, where they
had gone to see the aviator start this
morning, and beating him In because
of the stops he waa compelled to make.
Peddlers of food and drink did a land

were detailed to guard the crowds, but
so great waa the crush that several
women fainted.
For all Its alia the* throng waa no

Has any one seen Stella Drew? She
was In Atlanta, It is stated, from June
23 until July 15. under the assumed
name of Mrs. Bessie Tuck, but hat not
been seen or heard of sines the latter
date.
A heart-broken mother has come
from Thomaeville and Is now In At
lanta searching for her lost daughter,
nnd asks AtlAntans to usslat her In the
search.
The story told by Mrs. Sallie Drew,
the girl's mother, is as follows:
"My daughter Stella went with a
young man In Thomaeville by the name
of Ch&rles Tuck, who Is an employee
of the Are department. 1 objected to
this, and Anally they began meeting
each other at different places away
front home. On the afternoon of June
21 Stella left our borne at 203 East
Jnckson-st., In Thomusvllte, and went
to the home of Mrs. Henry Taylor, on
West Jacksnn-st. Mrs. Taylor
busy about the kitchen ut the time and
asked the girl to wait for her on the
porch. When Mrs. Taylor returned, the
girl was gone, Mrs. Taylor thinking
she had returned home."
Traced to Atlanta.
Mrs. Drew says she hns not seen her
•Ince that afternoon, and has traced
her to Atlanta, where she haa been
lost. .
"Captain-Newton, conductor on the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail,
road, told me." continued Mrs. Drew
"that a young man who lit the de
scription of Charles Tuck put Stella
on the train at Merrillville onthe night
of June 28. and that she had a ticket
to Atlanta. I have searched Atlanta
for her. and found that she went to the
Ivy hotel on Ivy-at., alone, and regis
tered as Mrs. Bessie Tuck. Sho re

two left the hotel together on July 16.
telling the hotel people that they would
return In several days. L'p to the pres
ent time nothing else has been heard
of her, but Charles Tuck lias returned
to Thomasvllle, resumed Ills work at
tho Are deportment and claims that he
knows nothing of the whereabouts of
Stella, denying that he enticed her
away from home."
Notwithstanding tills denial,
Miles, who runs the Ivy hotel, described
a man flttlng Tuck's description, and
stated that he called at the Ivy hotel
at midnight July 14, gave his name as
"Mr Tuck" and asked If his wife,
Mrs. Bessie Tuck, was there. The man.
he said, told them that lie was a trav
eling salesman representing an auto
mobile concern, and would be thru At
lanta frequently. He made arrange
ments for his wife rti remain there, but
later changed hla plane, and the two
left.

When Mr. Miles was shown a pho
tograph of tile girl by her mother, he
said:
"She le certainly the one who regis
tered at my house as Mrs, Bessie
Tuck." . ....
"They never have been married,
Mrs. Drew claims. "There Is no record
of a license having been Issued them In

to first come to Atlanta, make the

The police have been appealed lo In

The primary of two years ago. In
which two of the present candidates
made the race, was the cloaeat held In
this state In recent years. When the
smoke of battle had cleared away It
was found that Joseph M. Brown had
been elected, but his majority through
out the state vy only 10,857. He car
ried 81 counties and hts total vote woe
liiS.808. Hon. Hoke Smith carried 84
counties nnd hts total vote was 98.949.
In one county—Oconee—the vote was
a tie, each candidate receiving 418
votes.
This year the primary' will he con
ducted on a different plan. Instead of
nominating the governor by the genernl
vote In all the state, the county uqlt
plan will be In force.
Therefore, If, for example, Governor
Brown receives a majority of only ons
In Fulton county he will be entitled to
six votes In the state convention,
neither more nor less than If he were
to hiivo received a majority of 2,000.
And he will be entitled to these six
votes In the convention whether or not
he carries another county In the state.
It Is conceivable, and not Improbable,
that one of the candidates may recalve
a larger state-wide Individual vote than
the other and yet be defeated. It haa
happened at leaat once In the preal
dentist election that the winning can
didate haa received less In popular vote
than the winner.
This change In the plan of nomina
tion (election, to be brief) has.
a considerable extent, changed the
campaigning methods of both the can
didates. They have both doubtless
si>em considerable time conning over an
analysis of the vote of two years ago,
devoting special attention to those
counties in which the vote was close
and neither received a decisive ma
jority.
A look at the analysed figures of two
years ago Is most Intereating twthose
who are trying to figure out the winner
this time. There were then 28 coun
ties In which a change of lees then 28
votes would havs thrown the county
the other way. Then a change of these
25 or less votes In each county would
have made no difference to elthar can
didate, for the effect on the general to
tal of votes would have been slight
This year, however, It becomes a vital
matter with the candidates, either to
maintain the majority he' had lost
time or to take It away from the other
man.
Had the campaign of 1908 been de
cided according to the county unit plan,
Governor Broun would have had In the
convention 209 votes and Hoke Bmlth
would have had 159, the two votes of
Oconee county being divided.
OS those votes, not leas than 83 were
decided by a majority of leas than 50
In each of the 28 counties.
It is not difficult to Ima
what Interest the candidates
Ing these 28 counties this year, atnee
they will represent the balance of pow
er In the convention If Brown and
Smith carry the other counties they
carried In 1908.
Here are the figures on the close
counties, the table containing the vote
received by the candidate carrying the
county, his majority In the county and
the number of votes that county will
have In the convention this year:
