ThomMVlIIe, Ga.. July 16.—A very
evident attempt, It Is believed, Is being
made to poison the family of Mrs. Alice
Futch, at their home seven miles from
Thomasvllle, near Metcalf; As many
as twenty-one people were made sick
by poison In one day last week. At
flint it was thought that the sickness
might have resulted from some weed
that the cows had eaten, but almost
every one of the eltlre number who
ale dinner at the home Friday are still
sick, though none have yet died. The
family has been made sick four times
during the past six weeks, and though
they had feared some attempt was be
ing made to poison them, they had
taken no deflnlte steps to trace out ths
matter.
Family Physician Pois&ned.
Last Friday, Dr. A. P. Taylor, of
Thomasvllle, a member of the state
board of health, was called to attend
Mrs. Futch, who had been attacked
with a peculiar.Illness on WeVesday.
He waa Invited to stay for dinner and
did so. There were several other
guests present, nmong whom was Rev.
T. A. White, a prominent Baptist min
ister of Thomasvllle; also Mrs. J. C.
Thomas, of Metcalf, and the two sons
of Mrs. Futch, Allie and John. Very-
soon after dinner the guests were taken
violently 111 nnd l)r. Taylor was so
sick on his way back to Thomasvllle
that ha could hardly get home.
Neighbor's Children Poisoned,
During the afternoon Mrs. Kerr, a
neighbor of tho Dutches, and her two
children, came over for a short visit.
The children asked for something to
eat, and were given a biscuit. It wns

Poison Probably in Milk.
The negro families on the place sent
over to the house In the afternoon and
asked for t some milk. Every one of
them who tasted the milk was sick. It
is concluded from this that the poison
must have been put into the milk,
from which the bread was made.
Dr. Taylor states that tho effect of
the poison gives evidence that it must
have been phosphorus or some similar
poison, the effect of which Is cumula
tive. On this account he cannot hope
that the end has yet been realized.
The Futches aro among the most
prominent families In the county. They
are unable to ascribe any cause for the
attempt on their lives, they having had
no disturbance with the negroes on the

The milk Is regularly kept In the

MARRIES RIDING MASTER
AND LOSES A FORTUNE
A fifteen minutes’ drive from the I They 1
center of Winder brought us to Judge | public
Russell's home, a typical country cot- i
tnge, set In the midst of cotton Helds.
"My opponents Hay I've got grassy
cotton,” Hald Judge Russell, with a
twinkle in his eye. “Wall, you see It Isa

Ii'M. Russell mot us with gracious
pit ay ty, hut with evident concern
her husband. "Was your speech a

so nervous.”
Remembering the absence of a

At hls flrst words of greeting, as If
the magic wand had been waved, the
little Russells appeared from every
quarter. . The Judge attempting to look
modest, but with pride written large
on hls face. Introduced them one by
one.
‘This Is little Dick and this is Wal
ter Brown. Here is Robert Lee. and
now we come to Patience Elizabeth."
Patience Elizabeth came bravely for
ward.
"You see,” said her father by way of
explanation, "she was the seventh, so
the flrst name that suggested itself was
’Patience.' ”
And the quaint name fitted. Never

pathos of the child’s face, nor tho ap
peal of the big gray eyes, which, for
nil their sadness, might, have seen Into
the heart of tho big world which lay
beyond her father's cotton fields.
Leaving Mrs. Russell to perform sev
eral other introductions. Judge Rus
sell disappeared. After a few moments
he returned, holding awkwardly a tiny
creature wrapped in a voluminous blue
scarf. .....

A Wife’s Inspiration.
"I understand you have been the
Inspiration of your husband’s cam

"I have written a few hundred let

all," modrstJy answered this mother of
nine children. ”Y hi see, the children
have hls race v.et„ much upon their

The day drew to a close, ns the best

Mrs. Marcus Is tho possessor of

Hhe thinks the burglar wan acquainted

knocking at the rear door of her home,
some one cursing loudly, demanding
entrance. Police officers were eum-
