time of their first meeting until he fled
In termr on that fateful night on the
lake, when she plunged with n cry Into

had reached a parting of the lovers’
lane.
The testimony indicated that Orace
Brown believed that Cheater Gillette
might marry her up to the last day
on the lake and that she was prepar
ing for the wedding. Mr*. Brown, moth
er of the drowned girl, sobbed piteous
ly as .alio saw place after piece of the

IS STRICKEN WITH LEPROSY
Washington. Nov. W.—Advlce* re
ceived from Manila state Hint George
Pfeifer. «n examiner In the appraiser’s
office of the custom house, has been
stricken with leprosy.
Mr. Pfeifer went to the Philippines
with the 18th Infantry several years

was appointed to the place In the cus
tom house.
The through train service as contem
plated between Atlanta and Chicago,
which was expected to be put Into ef
fect next Saturday, will hardly be In
augurated before January l.
It was understood at the conference
of railroads^ Interested at the Piedmont
hotel some days ago that the through
train from Cincinnati and the train
from Chicago would consolidate at At
lanta for other Southern points.
The new road-bed of the Louisville
and Nashville In North Georgia Is not
cpntldered sufficiently settled to put
on through fast service at tills time.
The recent weather ha* not been at
all favorable for recently established
road-beds nnd the mountainous dis
trict* of East Tennessee and North
Georgia through which the new divi
sion of the Louisville nnd Nashville
runs made considerable grading neces
sary. and while trains are running over
this road at present It Is not thought
to be sufficiently substantial to permit
a fast schedule for heavy passenger
trains.
Important Addition.
This through service, when inaugu
rated. will be maintained In addition to
the regular winter tour let train, the
"Dixie Flyer.” to be inaugurated as
usual on January 8. This train will
connect Chicago, St. Louts, Atlanta, St.
Augustine and Jacksonville. The sched
ules for the ‘‘Dixie Flyer” have al
ready been arranged and are praetl-
ally the same as those of former
years.
The new train between Atlanta and
Chicago will be as finely appointed as
any In the country, providing luxury
and speed, and It Is expected that the
up-to-date equipment will prove a
drawing card to the wealthy tourists
who consider comfort while traveling
above everything else. This service
has been In effect before, but Its estab
lishment for alt the year round will
prove of great benefit to Atlanta and
the South and It Is expected to prove
successful from the beginning.
Railroad men Interested In this
through service say that the schedules
will be so arranged that the Chicago
train will probably depart from At
lanta at 7 a. in. so that passenge"* mSy
arrive In the Windy City the next
morning In time to transact business.
The business Intercourse between* At
lanta and Chicago has grown material
ly in recent years and It Is believed
that the fast schedule drawing the
cities closer will accentuate trade rela
tions until the South and Weat are
more securely cemented.

ICE MEN IN SESSION
THIRTEENTH TIME
Special to The Georgian.
Fort Worth. Texas. Nov. 20.—Thir
teen evidently Is not a hoodoo for tha
Southwestern Ice Manufacturers' As
sociation. for the thirteenth annual
meeting begun here today Is the largest
In point of attendance and promises to
be th* most profitable meeting ever
held by the association. Members from
Arkansas, Texas. Louisiana, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory filled Imperial
hall at the opening of the convention.
The visitors, many of whom are accom
panied by their wives, were cordially
welcomed to the city by Mayor Harris.
The association will be in session two
days.
That the planters of Texas, the
largest cotton producing stale In the
world, are holding their cotton for 11
cents wns substantiated by ‘a com
inunlcatlon received Tuesday by Har-
vle Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Association, from E. A. Calvin,
president of the Texaa Farmers’ Union.
Last year Texas planter* raised about
2,100,000 bales of cotton, while this sea
son they are expected to market over
3,000,000 bales. It Is one of the strong
hold* of the Farmers’ Union, and the
minimum price of 11 cent*, agreed
upon, will govern the cotton raisers of
the Lone Star State, and It Is under?
stood that they will stand firm for this
price.
"Almost all the farmers In Texas
have sold enough of their cotton to
meet their obligations,” said President
Calvin In hla letter, ‘‘nnd they are
holding the rest for 11 cents."
"The farmers ijf th# old states,” said
President Jordan In commenting upon
the letter of President Calvin, "should
stand by the action of the Texas farm
ers and through co-operntlon all along
the line advance the price of cotton to
higher levels. .
Worth 12 Csnts.
“The unusual weather conditions that
have prevailed over the cotton belt
throughout the season warrant at least
12 cent* for the staple. As soon as the
volume of cotton now In ths Interior
has moved out, the price will go hlg
If the planters will only stand by e
other and wait.
"The present pries of 101-2 cents for
cotton Is caused by the demand, and
It Is not a speculative price. A great
many of the farmers are content with
this price, but If ih*y.*wou!d only hold
back they would get 11 cents easy and
they should do It."
President Jordan I* engaged, after
his return from epeech-maklng In
Gainesville and othrfr points, with pre
paring for the county meetings of the
Souther,n Cotton Aseoclatlon the flret
Saturday In December, at which coun
ty otneern and representatives to the
state meeting will be elected.
State Meetings Soon.
The state meetings of the association
will take place the first Wednesday In
January. Officer* for the ensuing year
will be elected, together with a new
executive committee and member* of
the national executive committee.
The national executive committee
will meet In Birmingham January 16
and 18, to select officers'for th* aseo
clatlon for next year. This will be fol
lowed by the annuel convention of the
Southern Cotton Aseoclatlon In Bir
mingham January 17, 18 end 18.

the fire of Sunday morning that badly
damaged the netv sanitarium of )>r.
Stoi'katd in Crew street, near Fair, and
which I* believed to have been of in
cendiary origin.
The suspicious circumstances of t)u*
fire were reported to,Chief Jenning*
and he at once had detectives detailed
to probe, the matter and ascertain all
of the facts possible.
The sanitarium ho* been in course of
construction for somo time and was al
most ready for occupancy at the timi*
of the Are.
Sunday morning about 7 o'clock th»>
building wn* discovered in flames and
before they were extinguished by th»>
firemen the structure had been dam
aged to the extent of several thousand
dollar*.
When the firemen arrived on the scene
they made the discovery that several
place* about the building had been
saturated with oil and this nt once
led to the Incendiary theory. It H
stated that the fire broke out juat after
the night watchman had left the build
ing and till* I* also regarded a* a sus
picious circumstance, it being supposed
the flrc-bug watched for tho departure
of the watchman nnd then applied the
torch before anyone in the neighbor-
l:<"»d bad ‘-till **d.
The blaze wn* discovered by a negro
man, who sent In il telephone alarm.
This negro knew there was a telephone
In the tool house. Just In the rear <«f
the sanitarium, nnd. bursting in the
door, he called up Arc department head
quarters and gave the Information
about the Are. The blaze started In
the rear of the building and had gulntol
considerable headway before discov
ered.
The sanitarium f* a three-story
si i'ii«"t ii I** mid had lie* n len^rd by I>r.
