where I live, there have been for cen tury forts in which United States regulars have been placed, and during that entire time on no one occasion has a single regu- lar appeared in New York City in connec- tion with any labor trouble of any kind, sort or description. Why, in Buffalo they have a fort near them, and there Is burn ing issue as regards that fort in Buffalo, and that issue Is as to which party shall get the credit for having 1t enlarged and more soldiers sent there, because more troops mean larger markets for that neigh borhood There is no one in the neighbor- hood of any fort in this country who is so foolish to be affected by the nervous ness which MT.

 In his message to the General Assembly Governor Candler discusses questions of local importance requiring legislative tioh. He congratulates the General Assem- bly, upon the prosperity which the State enjoys at the beginning of the legislative session, making special mention of the price which cotton is now bringing in the market, and noting the unusually large size of the wheat crop, which he says breaks the record of forty years. He con- graduates the farmers of the State upon the disposition to diversity agriculture, calls attention to the increase of $19, ,203, ,542 in the value of property of the State, and observes that lawlessness and crime have shown marked improvement.

A man who has by integrity and frugality acquired a title to a home and Is tax payer, should be allowed to vote, whether he can read and write or not; but he who has for the last thirty years had the op- portunities of free schools and cannot read and write, and who has had an equal chance for the acquisition of property and yet has through incidence or profiigacy or vice failed to become a taxpayer, contrib uting nothing to the support of his State, should have no voice In making it's laws"

GERMAN CHARGE
Makes Statement-Uncle Sam's Answer
 Still Held Up

Washington, October 24.-In view of the widespread coWmsnt that the Anslo-Ger- man alliance concerning China was open to the possible construction of an implied or indirect menace or threat against some other power interested in the Chinese ques- ton, the attention of Count de Quadt, the German charge affairs today was called to this point Count de Quadt said that he was able to give a categorical and very positive statement on the highest author ity that the agreement involved no menace whatever to any power concerned in China. He said this applied to all the parties which had taken a hand in the Chinese af- fairs. Count de Quadt stated with equal postiveness that there was no foundation for reports of further or additional fea- lures to the agreement beyond those trans- mitted to the various governments and made public.
 The response of the United States to the British-German agreement as communica- ted by Count de Quadt is still held in abey- ance It is understood that with the third article, namely, that concerning the com pact between Great Britain and Gesnfany to take suitable measures in their own in terests in the contingency that other pow seize territory in China, our govern. ment will not concern itself at this stage It Is not expected that our adherence to the agreement would be required to take the form of a formal signature or accept ance of the whole agreement. So 1t is prob able that the answer to be made by the State Department will not be an unouali- fled acceptance of the whole compact, but only will treat of those portions of the agreement with which we are directly con cerned at present.
