Three Skolatona Found, The Atlanta polloe have begun an investigation of a report that three human skeletons had been unearthed by dogs scratching In the woods noar MoOairs crossing on the Southern railway Just outside the olty limits. The skeletons were found all right, one of them appearing to be that of a negro and the two others of white ixi'n. The community is pretty well stirred up ovar the find, but no solution of the mystery is forth oomlng. In tho absence of any possible clue, so far, the polios are expressing the opinion that the bones were buri?d there by mcdioal students who had used the oadavers In their studies. The people, however, have not accepted this as final and the investigation is still in progress. Spider Bilk.

Correspondence In this weeks issue of the Menufsot u res' Reoord from Atlanta, Ga., dwelling upon the ex* tent of materiel development now under way in the South, desoribes the widespread scarcity of labor hampering that development. It says: "Probably the moat striking illustration of the 80*1 city of laborers in the South is been in the cotton fields. During a trip of over a hundred miles through an important cotton region in Georgia and Alabama, a very care ful count was made of the number of ootton pickers ween, and the total was 14, when, judging by the distance traveled and the oondltion of the cot ton needing immediate picking, there ought to have been more nearly 1,400 "Another Illustration Is given In the fact that the proposed exposition In Atlanta scheduled for 1010 has been abandoned, not because of the Inability to secure the money, but be cause it was made clear to the orgaamzsrsof It that It would be practically Impossible to secure laborers to erect the buildings.

The police of Charleston are trying to unravel a murder mystery that has recently developed in that oity. A young woman by the name of Lillian Reeves was found dead Wednesday morning at her realdencs In that olty, and a few block*away Corporal W. R. Woody, of the United States marine corps stationed at the navy yard, was ptoked up by the polloe with s dangerous wound In his stomaoh. The tragedy Is the ohlef topic of conversation among the people of Charleston, who are as badly puzzled over the murder as the police are. The presumption of the deteotlve force is that the woman shot the marine, and he then seized the weapon \nd pointed it to ber back, discharging the bullet which caused her death, and his wound did not allow him to proceed but a few blccks from the bOJDtjs of the tragedy, In an attt m t ;o escape, when he fell and was U^or p eked up by Dotootlve Miller and se t to the Roper hospital. Tho woman's body was found in the dinlr.g room of her house, No. 212 Ashley aytnuo, aud the wounded -oarlne was picked up on Bjgard itreet. On the table of the room in ./hiou the body of the w mnQ was ouud were the remnauts of a luncheon \Ld an empty whiskey bottle, which iHuSti h^ve bern tno immediate precursor of thedlficulty between the party. Waen Woody was carried to too hospital, he Siid that ><e had bo^n 3h t by a wom?.n, and later he refused ;o way who lired tue shot. Tub dl cjvery of tua woman's body followed a message from Ajou Pis 'loir, a well known mui aoout town, who is tald to hava be n lntlmVjC vitn tlio dead woman. Ha telephoned who polio 3 station to At a colored wo man, E Ion Mtkeli, residing on the uromlbbs, had mtde tae discovery of tho body, reporting It lo him, and he Immediately communicated the iuf or inatlcn to police headquarters. Patilok was arrested, but was released a* ho proved ho had nothing to do with ihe murder. Tue names of two other citizens are mentioned in connection with the woman, in the relation of a friend and associate, but they have not been arrested or summoned as witnesses. Tho opinion of the polloe officials was, as stated above, that the killing of the woman and wounding of the man followed a dhpute, after their supper, *ad that no third party had a hand in the tragedy, which must have occurred sometime Tuesday night, as toe woman's body was discover*d about one u'olook Wednesday morning. Lillian R?evei was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. B. Raevos, of Branchvllle, and is said to hav? ciccu quiiio a nanasome wuman. Son e years ago she married a mau nam d Lewis Secke, who w*h then operator (or the Postal Telegraph Company a. Branohville. Later they muved to Bmb rg, but owing to some family troubles she left B.*mberg and went to Charleston, where she had been living about four years wheu the tragedy jccurred. Shortly after sho removed to Charleston she was served with pa per In divorce proceedings the papers saving bien taken out In Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She said at the tlmi that she was not going to bobber iboufc the papers, ana the supposition Is that the man was granted a divoro tod the woman assumed her maiden name. The dead wcman, who was about thirty years of age, passed as a dms naker, being so reported In the oity lireotory. Beside her body when it was found, was a revolver with two jhambsrs empty, and the general opposition that the woman was shot ind killed by Woody after the two lad quarreled about something or )ther. Woody is said to be a fine look ng man, and halls from R ohmond, V*. He is known to have been intlnate with the woman. Dr. A.. J. Julst, who performed the autopsy, lestlfled that the woman oould not rave killed herself. The verdlot of he Jury is that the woman oame to rer death at hands unknown to the ury. The body was Interred at Branddlle, where the dead woman had uany relatives.
