M GLUES FOUND II
THE WASHINGTON RUE
Seem to Draw Tighter Around
Negro Suspects Now in Jail.
Bold Case of Arson Thought.
Washington, Ga. —With the arrival
of Green B. Adair, Jr„ from Atlanta
to direct the investigation into the
Sunday morning fire which destroy
ed his mother’s home near Washing
ton, causing a loss of nearly $20,000,
and which came very near costing the
lives of every member of the house
hold, new clues have been found
which seem to draw a closer web
around the two negro suspects who
were jailed here Sunday evening.
Mr. Adair was notified by long-dis
tance phone of the tire and hastened
to Washington to make a thorough
investigation of what he bellleves to
be not only a bald case of arson, hut
an attempt to get revenge for an
imagined injury on tlie pdrt of the
negro farm hand and his wife by
burning the members of the Adair
family with the building.
The negro and his wife in the
Wilkes county jail, stoutly maintain
their innocence and state that they
are prepared to account for V eir
whereabouts all of Saturday night
and until the time that they appeared
at the Adair home about day-break
Sunday morning in response to the
fire alarm which was sounded on the
plantation bell.
The Adairs claim that they have
evidence to show that the fire orig
inated around the stairway in the
double hallway, in the most unlikely
place for a fire to have originated.
That the private system of water
works which was recently installed,
had been cut off, rendering any at
tempt at fighting the flames hopeless
and that several dogs which were kept
around the home had been tied under
the house. They were burned with
the home so that they could not lie
called into use lit the event that an
effort was made to track the guilty
parties. It is claimed that these cir
cumstances could not have come
about except through the agency of
seme one thoroughly acquainted with
the domestic affairs of the home.
Henry Anderson and his wife, the
accused, both worked on the Adair
place, the former having formerly
been employed as a farm hand, but
had lately been told that his services
were not satisfactory. The latter had
been cook for the Adair family ever
since they moved to Wilkes county
from Atlanta nearly a year ago.

Lime Combats Tuberculosis 1
!
“It is difficult to escape the convic- !
tion that lime starvation and lime as
similation are the real Issues behind the)
masks of vulnerability and resistance In
tuberculosis,” writes Ira Van Gieson, M. j
D., In the May 11, 1912, issue of the
New York “Medical Record.”
Dr. Van Gieson is eminent in his pro
fession, and his assertion that lime as
similation is tiio “real issue” in resist
ance to tuberculosis bears the stamp of
authority.
Ordinarily lime is not easily assimi
lated medicinally, but Eckman’s Altera
tive is one preparation containing it in
such form and combination as to insure
assimilation by the average person.
This is one reason for its success in
many cases of tuberculosis which ap
parently lutvc yielded to it and others
which have been benefited through its i
use.
Our experience-based faith in this!
remedy is shared by a large number of i
men and women, who say they owe i
health, strength and life to it. It con
tains no opiates, narcotics or habit
forming drugs, so is safe to try.
If your druggist is out of it, be can
get it, or you can order direct from us.

BLAME IT ON THE PRINTER.
The Montclair, N. J., physician who
advertised recently for an “automatic
nurse,” which would look after chil
dren and enable an overworked moth
er to indulge in her favorite game of
golf, has been outdone by Benj. F,
Pabodie, of the same city, who has
caused the following advertisement to
appear:
“Wanted, for a private family, a
nurse with all modern conveniences
and at least ten bedrooms.”
The typesetter sustituted the word
“nurse’’ for “house.”
