Man- Having Occult Power" Now v .' Enter Into The ' Ca.-'.' X ' :' . ATLANTA, Ga.,' July 20. The in vesttigatlon into'the Nelms death note mystery took a new turn tonight when effort were begun to trace a strange re semblance reported by Mrs. J. W. Nelms . mother . of the missing Eloise Nelms Dennis and Beatrice Nelms, to exist be tween Victor E. Innis, the Portland law- yer and Professor La Vdux,' clairvoyant ' and hynotist, who. was in Atlanta from February 21 to May 18, of this year. , The mother and brother of the two missing young women were forced to admit that they were without any more substantial idea of where the sisters were than more than week ago when the nation-wide search started. .Every clue had led to a blind trail. ' . ' THE AKES 01 The last move followed the state ment by Mrs. Nelms that Miss Bea trice had been forcibly (truck with the likeness between Innfes and Professor LaVouz at the time she boarded a South . em Railway train to go to Birmingham to meet Innes. She went to talk Over the , business relations between him and her sister, and found tones already on the train with the woman fuppapfd to be his aunt and known as" Margaret Mims. ' Miss Beatrice, according to Mrs. Nelms has seen Professor LaVoux a number of ' times, and on her return to Atlanta re marked to her mother.' '. '. . ' . "The man on the train looked just like the fortune teller, . Professor La Vouz, but he said his name was Innes." ... With the view of 'thoroughly tracing " this resemblance, Marshall Nelms, bro ther of the missing girls, had a confer - ..ence with Police Chief Beavers to ob ' tain his assistance, g Mr v Nelms aso ' aided in the probe and visited the Chids ..'. Hotel,' in South ., Broad ; street, iwhere ' - Professor LaVouz stopped while In At ,. lanta. He registered there as 'IE.' Z. -Is hpJF;nd' wifer Kixtas OtyjiArrS V-.His.wife was described by hotel attaches as being "good-looking and, nicely dressed -with dark hair and brown eyes.". She . was of medium-height. , , ' 1 As to whether Mrs, Dennis knew ... Professor LaVoux ..is problematical. Mrs.- Nelms said that the clairvoyant ; had his "studio" in East Point, near the " postoffice, while Mrs, Dennis acted as a .cleric in theouter office, and that he jre. eeived his, mai there, ', The professor ! also had operated, in Decatur and at Lakewood Heights, being forced into 'i the suburbs because of the city law against fortune telling. - - ',' . . '.According to information from Car , sonCity, Ney. Innes was an adept In '' the art of hypnotism and the' occult : sciences, but there Is no information that he ever made a regular business of .either. ' . . I . ; - Mrs. .Nelms had seen jprofessor La Voux, and gave it as her opinion that jthere are strong marks of resemblance v "' between him and the pictures of Innes.. v. Pete Basil, manager of the Childt ' 'Hotel, said that when LaVoux leftlon : ; ' May 18 he was asked where he was go ing, and replied that he would leave no ; address. His whereabouts now. are un known in Atlanta, 1 Professor LaVoux was arrested here ' by Plainclothes Officer Ti D- Sha,won . March 23 on a warrant from the Muni .' cipal Court. According to reports, his ( arrest was instigated by an Atlanta wo: man seeking to recover a diamond ring from the professor. t , DELIGHTFUL SAIL WAS GIVEN LAST EVENING. . la Hour of.Twr.o fWaahln2t3u' . . . , InTha City. ; , , ,One of the moit enjoyable events of the sjmm . was a moonlight sail given , lait ev?ning on board of the handsome lajnch, the Gaston, by T: J.

The New Bern Division of the North Carolina Naval Militia, under command of Caprain Caleb D. Bradham have re turned from a ten days cruise to Ber muda on board of the U. S. . S. Rhode Island. On board of the Rhode Island were four divisions of militia from North Carolina, and the militia ' from New Jersey,' Pennsylvania and-the District of Columbia, and out of this entire ag gregation the New Bern Division won the highest honors in the target practi ce with the big gu ns. . ..The target practice was done with three inch guns at targets twenty-one feet by twelve feaet t a distance of one thousand six hundred yards away from the boat which was traveling at a speed of five knots an hour.. Each division was allowed twenty shots and the four North Carolina divisions made forty two hits out of eighty shots. - New J er sey made sixteen out of thirty shots. Pennsylvania made twelve hits out of forty. shots and the District Columbia made only sixteen hits out of eighty shots. When the New Bern division went into the -practice, they fired four shots in twenty-five seconds, and on each occasion the shot went true and struck the target.:. C , V-V 'v.., Considering the fact that the local sailor-soldiers have had but remarkably little practice with the big guns, this record is considered most unusual, and Captain Bradham and hi men were very highly praised for the efficient work which they did. In addition to this practice the division also engaged in torpedo defense drills 'at night, using the searchlights in picking out the enemy and in this they also did excellent work Fire,' collision and. routine drills, were also held and the members of the divis ion were greatly benefittedbythecr.uise and are already looking forward to the one which is to be held next year.- TRYING TO SETTLE ', DIFFER ' ENOE IN BASEBALL LEAGUE.

SAIL0R-S0 1 TRAVELING H FFIDS WED WORSE THAH WAR Sherman' Idea I No Compari son With It, STORY WORTH READING HERE Knight of the Grip Has a Thrill ing Narrlatvt to Here ' with unfold. NASHVILLE, July 21. May be Sherman was right, but you couldn't make William : Hewitt, Jr.,, a traveler working out of Nashville believe it. Hewitt, knows there's something a lot worse than war, for he passed through it only a week ago. He got married and then fell into the "friendly" hands of. a bunch of brother travelers on the way back to town. Over at Fayetteville recently, when Mr. Hewitt marched (town the aisle of the Methodist church tq hear. Rev. W. Cherry say the words that would make Miss Kathleen Madden hi until death do part them, things were looking rosy enough for him until he noticed he entire amen corner was filled with "drummers". There were big drummers, little drummers, baldhead drummers, long haired drum mers, fat and lean drummers never had he seen so many "grip-toters" , at one and the same place and at the same time in his life. Until that minute he hadn't realized that there were half that many drummers on earth. And every one of them was grinning mean and devilish, grins that meant that some thing' was going to happen. It wasn't getting married , that scared Hewitt it was that array of sun-scarred and ugly faces. Some of those faces were familiar; some of them the groom had never seen before. But he knew, the moment he laid his eyes -on them they were mem bers of his craft. The wedding went off as nicely as pie not a "bobble, not a slip anywhere. Only those awful, diobolical mugs spread out before him like goblins in the night. When it was 'all .over, Hewitt patted himself on the back, so to speak. Maybe the boys were-just Yes, maybe they were and maybe not. Anyway, nothing happened, . and the next train' found Mr. Hewitt and the new Mrs. .Hewitt nicely fixed in a chair car, Nashville bound. Hewitt looked about hjm. Every where, anywhere his gaze fellt it rested upon a drummer. The only difference in this crowd and the one at the wedding was that this one was larger. And they were all looking in. the same direction toward the bride and groom grin ning, forever grinning. No doubt about it, Sherman was up against a cinch. Down the road a piece was a little station. . And it was here real trouble started. A beaautiful young lady got on the train. Just anybody could see she had something on her mind. She looked all, around about spied Hewitt. What happened . beggars description. She fell on her knees at the groom's side and plead for a reason for his de serting her. Her heart was broken, she said, Oh, how could he have done it? Hewitt was struck dumb. His feet slipped and slid, and jerked up and down on the floor. Out of his little bride's eyes there were shooting' shafts' of fire. Imagine the scene if you can. But you can't and there' no use trying. It was a frame-up, of course, but the-bride did not know it, and the groom was help less. 'His tongue clove to the roof of his mOUth. V'r-Ny;.'.;!::,; v'viv v 5 This was bad, but.it was only' two miles to the next station. - Here a big burly fellow got on the train, And he was mad.-.; He walked through the ear and then back again. He-was hunting somebody. ? Lordyl- Hewitt saw the steely eye as they gripped and held him. '.The elder man came forward slowly, toying .'with Hewitt' emotions as a kitten tops with a baby mouse "What could it be this! time.r' , V. ! "They tell me yo ,!ye just marripd?" the giant roared. ''V'', , ' ; Hewitt did not atuwer. His silence gave assent. And then the old fellow who looked mean coming down the car looked a thousand times meaner. He straightened up till he almost touched the roof; then came down again till his hot angry breath struck the groom full in, the' e. Hewift will never forget tWt speech. Every crime in the calendar that could be mentioned in, a mixed audience was charged to him. It was all the old man could do to keep from jumping on the groom and grinding him into dust.' He would sue him ten mil lion years or get redress. Hewitt had never seen the traduter of his life, but he knew the score or more of .drummers packed about him were responsible. Down deep in his heart was mighty decesion--he would some day get even, nd his vengeance wojld bo great and sweet. He knew better than to start anything here, beca'ine the gang would be harder on him -if they co.ihl. It was a long ride to Nashville, and many t liinrs hp; ; "noiL So nany U in fact, that Hewitt will never forget it even oa his dying day. When they roll ed into th Nashville yards, the other drummers 'crowded around the newly weds, and extended their first congra tulations. Then they told the bride all about it; and they secured her forgive ness, when they had convinced her that Hewitt was the best old scout on earth, and those awful experienceathey had so recently passed through had been fra rn- ed up just to make him suffer. And Hewitt welt, he said it was all right. "" - PRESIDENT OF BANK CHUSHSE II Li ALSO PREPARES FOR FIGHT AND TRIED TO GET A BLOW ON! COLE. GREENVILLE, S. C, July 20. "You are a liar and a 1" With a hot epithet, James W. Nor wood, president of the Norwood Bank, broke through a' gate onto the stage during Governor Cole L. Blease's speech at the Senatorial coampaign meeting in the! City Park here. this afternoon, put his right hand over his left breast under . his coat and at tempted to get to' the Chief Executive. The incident,' which looked as if it would result in 4 killing, was brought about by the Governor's reply to a question which ''Norwood asked had question which Norwood had asked him regarding a statement by a Co lumbia physician! printed in a Colum bia newspaper-relatiVe to a convict parolee! by the TGoverhor about two years ago. The governor had replied to Norwood as follows "When I talk; about a man, it is in his own town.- When I get to Colum bia, I expectr.Wftrequest Dr. Mcin tosh to take 4 eaton the stand and answer to him Uke one gentleman to an other; not as! coward lijte you." Seeo Men Hold Citizen. When the ChieffiExecutive had com pleted his answer, Mr. Norwood broke through the gate' at the head of the steps, and made toward him. Sherififf steps and made toward him. Sheriff Hendrix Rector, "of Greenville County; several deputies and policemen rushed to Norwood and s restrained him. ,.: It took the efforts of seven men to keep the"tangrr'Brajrorfr"reacBmg'the Governor, who was" standing about 30 feet away on the extreme end of the stand. As soon as the trouble appeared immi nent State Detective Hammond and several men surrounded the Governor to. protect him. Norwood continued to struggle, and it seemed for a time that he would break away from the grasp of his captors. In the meantime a crowd of specta tors, mostly cotton null ; .operators crowded around the stand, and with excited shouts, tried to get to Nor wood. ' Eventually, Norwood was pushed down into the crowd, still fighting. ' 1 ,y Mob Fight Fiercely The .mob closed around him and it waa ' difficult to ascertain . wnat was happening in the melee. Many in the crowd pummeled Norwood about the , and it seemed for. a time that speaking would end in a general riot. When the struggling mass had fought its way several hundred feet from the stand, the friends of Nor wood got to him and led him off. "Norwood was not injured, it is said, but several member of the crowd, in cluding Sheriff Rector. received bruises about the face..; . 1 New Bern Ircn Works Do Excellent Work DEMONSTRATE THEIR ABILITY TO HANDLE MOST IN I TRICATEJOBS.

However, on Monday night the vessel was brought here and carried to the Meadows Marine Rail waysi v Considerable trouble . was ex -perienced in getting the vessel out of the water but E. II. Meadows, Jr.,1 finally accomplished this by himself getting down Into the river and plaeing the blocks under her. Next it was necessary to have a shoe made to replace the one lost and the services of J. C. Hill and Ephriam Brinson of the New Uern Iron Works were rotf I. Hr.

He stated that he -did not at first believe (hat the shoe could be manufactured except in some' well equipped Northern plant and in fact had almost given up hope of uch.' However; he was agreeably surprised. : He found that the, plant of the New Bern Iron Works was well? equipped for just such work and that the men Connected with that establish ment would tackle any sort of a job, no matter how intricate and stick to it until it was concluded. ;.'The vessel left port yesterday after noon to conclude, her voyage.

MAKEUP MAN IN BAD MIX-UP. Transposed Lines of a Wedding and Auction Sale. In handling the slugs which make up the lines in a newspaper, and in separating the various items, the make up man sometimes gets the lines mix ed up and they naturally read rather queer. As an illustration of what can happen, we cite the mixup of the Bangor (Pa.) News a few day ago when the printer got a wedding and an auction sale mixed up with the following results' "William Smith, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith, and Miss Lucy Anderson were disposed of at public auction at my farm, one mile east, in the presence of 70 guests, including two mules and twelve head of cattle. "Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial knot fpX4toJe on hoof. The beautiful home- of the bride was decorated with one sulky rake, one feed grinder and two sets of work harness, nearly new, and just before the ceremony was pronounced the Mendel and Sons wedding march was rendered by one milch cow, five years old, one Jersey cow and one sheep, who carried a bunch of bride's roses in her hand was very beautiful.

C July 21 Editor New Bern Journal- It ha been a long time since I hare seen any communication is your paper . regarding the Stock Law. These letters have been verv interesting to me. ea- . pecially those written by Mr. Daniel Lane of Bellair in your county. I was fnrmertv nnnaaed to the Stack Law. but the more I read about and study the question, the more co a vi need t an mat it it to the interest of wt farmer and the public generally to have a Stock Law; I know the average politician says , he is opposed to It, because he know of the ignorance of some of our. people, and the vote of the ignorant man count as much for him as the vote of the in-, telligent man, and he can generally arrange to control the ignorant voter. . Suppose your people in the city of New Bern allowed cattle and hog to : roam over your street. What a filthy town you would have. Our little village and country town ought to be as clean and a sanitary a the bigger town. We are human and appreciate cleanliness and good health as much a other do. Our hog are being, killed on the pub , lie road by the automobile. Some of our best people are automobile owner and are entitled to the right of way on the public roads. The hogs and cattle . have no right to be laying around and rooting up our public road. The vicious tattle are liable to run over our children and often endanger their live while attending the country schools.- It i fithy and indecent to allow the animal to run at large. You are liable to run over an old cow cow lying in the public': road at night while returning from church with your wife and children in the buggy or automobile ant kill or Injure your family. .The amount we have annually to pay tht U. S. Steel Corporation for .wire fence and staples, to say nothing of the valuable wood furnished for pasture to keep cattle and hog from destroying our Crop is more than the value of the hog and ticky cattle. , Look at the car load of wire our merchant are forced to buy for us, timber, is ;too valuable for rail any more. ; Wire cost more than thejkky cattle and hog are worth., Do you consider the doctor bill we have to pay for eating uch unwhole some food and producing flies and, filth, typhoid fever and hookworm by allow-' ing thesse animal to roam freely in our village street.'- Do you know that the law prohibits the sale of meat from the tick infested district to the cleaner district. It is truf we. can ell our ticky beef in New Bern, but we cannot sell it in Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte, Asheville, Norfolk, Richmond, or any of the cities in the St ock"$l territory,, and we have seen some suggestions that the Woman' Club of New- Bern inigh build up sentjment which would cut the ale -of t out of that city. ; Do you know there i cannot buy any blooded stock and breed them with any success in our ticky woods. Do you know hog cholera 1 more prevalent in our territory. Do you know there is a '.big 1 profit in ' . cattle and hog, raised and cared for In en closed pasture. Do you know we send ' lot of money from ur community to pay . ' .,, i , i i ..... nr vniiir nnrrM1. ram ann innarH in.r we ought to produce here and save that . money at home. - Do you know in the Stock Law districts our farmer art more prosperous and their families more . healthy, land are higher and the rural . life is happier.' If you don't know these things, get out among the folks and in form yourselves. : These condition certainly exist. - FARMER. MARINE NEWS.
