.MEMORY KETl"R.\S AFTER
LAPSE OF 25 YEARS.
Terre Haute, Ind. Aug. 11?Alexl
anaer Bell's memory has been restorer
eti to him after a lapse of 25 years.
The man formerly lived in Tell City,
Ind. A slight operation restored his
memory.
Out in Haskell, Okla., the quiet
routine of Mrs. A. R. Barr's life has
| been interrupted. She finds herself
the wife of two men.
^ Twenty-five years ago Alexander
^ Bell left Tell City, Ind., to visit his
r brother Ben Bell at Chattanooga,
Tenn. Reaening Chattanooga, he
lcuud his brother had moved to his
country home, so the visitor set out
through the woods to seek him. Nothing
was heard from that ?im* until I
lib returned here recently.
After Mr. Bell's disappearance his
vife went on with their general merchandise
business. Detectives in
many states and the man's two sons
searched the country for him. Mrs.
Bell followed a daughter to Oklahoma,
met Mr. Barr and married him.
Mr. Bell can remember nothing of
his life for the past 25 years. Fol-;
lowing a spinal adjustment, his memory
returned and he began a search|
for his family which resuled in the
finding of a son, Andrew Bell. Be-j
cause of poor health, Mr. Bell has
not been told of his wife's second
marriage.

NEW 1HMOKS AFLOAT IN
^ El WIN WHITE MlltDKll CASE
Mullins Enterprise.
Ever since the confession of Archie
Turner, two weeks ago, that he uc-,
cidentally shot ami killed Edwin
White, various rumors have been
flouting around. Hut they fail to throw
any true light on the perpetrator of
the deed, as almost from the begin-!
nmg Archie's statement has been
discredited. Various circumstances
make it clear to those who have
watched the case that Archie was not
the one who killed Edwin Whit*- but
that others of his connection either
killed the aged man or had him pu'
out of the way.
The latest rumor heard on tinstreets
yesterday in connection with
the case, is that Tom Turner, the lather
of Archie has confessed to the
officers that he assisted in making
away with the body after the killing.
Sheriff ltowell and Deputy Edwardsare
leaving no stone unturned in
the matter and are said to be giving
the prisoners some trying grillings
in their effort to get at the truth.

Yeggsnen robbed the postoflico at
Fairmont Tuesday night and escaped
with $2b.nbo in currency amj several
hundred dollars worth of postage
stamps. Tin* money had been sent
by insured mail to the Bank of Fairmont,
reaching Fairmont on a late
train. The money was in the postoffice
safe. The robbers entered the
building by prying the door open and
the safe was blown open. The safe
door was blown across the room and
it is supposed nitro-glycerine was
used by the yeggmen. The work
looked like that of professionals.
The explosion caused several people

with the robbery, which took place
between 2 and 3 o'clock Wednesday;

The robbers drove a new Studeba-|

about a mile out of town and abandoned

Springfield. Aug. 10- A coroner's
jury returned a verdict i;:tr that 1
Mike Corbett, whose body \\a> ca rrhd
to Sal ley in an automobile y<stord.t>
by lour men, came to his death by a
wound 011 the back 01 h- n< ; k inflict- 1
ed ?>y Joe Hoggins.
Tlu* dead body 01' .Mike Corbel 1. a
fanner 4 5 years old. who lives about
six miles from here, was carried t>.
the town of Sal ley yesterday after- '<
noon in an automobile by Titos. Her
ron# Joe Huggins. unci Rubin Schofield.
The occupants ol' the car stated
it is said, that they had found tinbody
in the public road a few miles
from Salley. I'pon close questioning,
it is stated, their stories conflicted and
these three with a son of Thomas
Herron, who was also in the automo- 1
bile were placed in custody and sepa- 1
rately questioned at an inquest held 1
over the body by the coroner oi Aiken
County today. 1
The young Herron boy testified that!
they were all out riding in the carand
that Huggins asked Corbett to1
stop singing, which he refused to do. 1
Thereupon Huggins, is is said struck
him on the back of the neck with a 1
revolver and caused Corbett to fail :
over in the foot oi the car. When he
made no effort to reseat himself they,
examined him arid found that he wadead.
An examination tevettled that!
Corbett's neck was broken and his ,
According to the testimony all th?*|
occupants of the car were under thej
influence of intoxicants. The jury I
found that Corbett came to his death)
by a wound on the back of the neck
inflicted at the hands of Joe Hup-1'
gins. Huggins, Herron and Schofield j
have been lodged in the Aik? n jail.

Cull the Earl} .Molting Hen.
. (
(Prepared by County Home Demon- j
stration Agent.) j.
It is safe to say that l'ully 25 to',
50 per cent of the hens which make)
up the farm flock of poultry do not)
lay enough eggs to pay for the feed:,
they const'-.e. Many hens are kept,'
from 3 to 5 years on the farm, and!
such individuals are always a loss!
to their owner. By keeping the best i
layers and culling out the poor pro-:'
ducers or boarding hens a greater
profit will be derived from the flock. '
Feed bills can thus be reduced and,'
the best layers kept for another sea-!'
son. Again, sufficient space will be i
provided for this year's young stock j
The hen that lays only a few eggs
in the spring and early summer is
usually a very early molter. That ,
is sne 6neas ner iraintrs auywueic ;
lrom July to the middle of September.
This is caused by the fact that j
she is a poor layer. She lays her
clutch of eggs and then starts molting
her feathers. The hen that is 'a
good layer will start laying in the
early spring and continue producing
eggs during the hot summer months.!1
She is so busy manufacturing eggs |
that she does not have time to shedj1
her feathers and put on a new coat j
until late in the fall. j'
A hen that molts before the mid-!
die of September is a poor producer, j
She hus probably laid from 60 to 80,1
eggs or hardly enough to pay for the j
food she has consumed. The hen that,
molts after the middle of September^
is usually a heavy layer and has ,
doubtless produced 100 or more eggs
before she lias had time to begin i
molting. Jjute nioJiers will also -.bed ,
iIn-ir feathers in a much shorter space
ot time than early molters.
So in order to save money and for >1
bills and make the poultry flocks one j
of tlie best paying branches of tin
farm, kill ui market tin- early molting

Mr. Thompson drove the bull in;o li
a stall and entered behind him. The ^
animal appeared to be as docile as us- 1'
ual and gave nut outward signs of a
ucioustiess. While tugging at his hal- a
ier the ring in his nose came out and 1?
it was ui this moment thai he made
his attack upon Mr Thompson. He
knocked Mr. Thompson under a
itough and after making repeated at- S
tempts to gore him picked him up on 11
his stubby horns und threw hint out e
01 the stall. As Mr. Thompson fell lie c'
had the presence of mind to slam the
door which he braced with his body. w

Mr. Thompson was severely bruised 11
during his tussle with the animal and Sl

WANTED TO AKKKST COX.

Ev|MM'ieiii'(i With Alleged Officers.
Columbia. 0.. Aug. 16?Gov. Jas
I. Cox and the members of his camuign
(tarty who declined to be "pinch
d'' on a speeding charge while rent
ning troni Wheeling Sunday were
aiting tonight for tlie serving of a
arrant 011 the tour chauffeurs.
After conferring with Prosecuting
ittorney C. L. Flory, of Licking county
where the alleged violations of the
iw occurred. Special Officer Joe
hipley, in charge of the motorcycle
olicemen who attempted to make the
nests, this afternoon filed affidavit*
t Newark, the county seat for the
isuance of warrants for the drivers
Applies Solely to Operators.
Only the fact that the law applies
uleiy to the operators of automobiles,
hipley said restrained him from fib
ig anuiavits ior tne arrest or oovrnor
Cox and the dozen newspaper
orrespondents in the party.
The name of one of the chauffeurs
as known to the authorities, accordit:
to report from Newark, and the
ther three warrants were filled out
1 "John Doe" form. If these do not
erve the purpose, it was stated, the
ames of the three men will be oblined
from the secretary of state and
ew warrants issued.
John Whittaker, the driver whost
auie was known, was taken into cusody
last night when he went bacl
hrough Jacksontown, after bringing
he governor's party to Columbus
ut was released pending the filing
f formal charges.
Mistaken, Says Cox.
Governor Cox declined to discuat
tie incident today further than to saj
hat the officers were mistaken aboui
lie rate of speed the machines wen
taking.
There were indications at the state
ouse however, that the governor wil
like action in behalf of the driver:
f they are actually arrested. He con
iders himself responsible for theii
living as they had to follow clost
ehind his car.
Unless the whole matter is dropped
[ is believed likely that a rigid in
estigation will be made of Adjutan
leneral Layton's charge of a politi
al "iranie-up" by local Republicai
l'ficers to embarrass the Democratii
residential nominee.
Cox Optimistic
Governor Cox spent today in con
