valdosta is Hedging.

Retrenchment was the slogan at a
recent meeting of the Valdosta city
council and the knife was applied
vigorously in number of depar5
ments. Two members of the fire de-
partment were laid off, three heads
fell in the street department, Chief
of Police Dampier's salary was re-
duced from $125 per month to $112.5O,
Street superintendent McKenna and
City Sexton Giddens came in for a
reduction of salary and the office OF
recorder was abolished.
The action of council was due to
a threatened deficiency Of something
like $4,000 in the city's revenues.
Part Of this amount is in the $4,000
for liquor licenses, which are knocked
out. The present council also had to
pay $4,000 for improvements at the
waterworks, and recently had to pay
a damage suit against the city for
$4,000.

Cotton Buyers May BaIk.

Savannah cotton men question the
ability of the members of the Farm
ers' Union to keep cotton prices up
to a minimum of Is cents pound
as agreed upon at the Little Rock
conference. Local buyers think farm
ers will accept 10 cents, as rule,
when it is offered. They can imagine
no machinery of the union that will
enable it to keep the price up above
that figure.

HINDU WORKMEN M0BBED.
Citizens of Town in Washington State
Pounce Upon Black FOREIGNERS.


Pounce Upon Black Foreigners.
Six badly beaten Hindus are in the
hospital at Bellingham, state of Wash
ington; 400 frightened and half-naked
Sikhs are in Jail and the corridors OF
the city hall guarded by policemen,
and somewhere between Bellingham
and British Columbia $50 natives of
India, beaten, hungry and half-clothed,
are making their way along the Great
Northern railway bound for Canadian
territory and the protection of the
British flag.
The long expected cry, drive out
the Hindus," was heard throughout the
city and along the water front Thurs
day night hTe police were helpless.
All authority was paralyzed, and for
five hours mob of a half thousand
white men raidad mills where the
blacks were working, battered down
doors of lodging houses and dragged
the Hindus out of bed and escorted
them to the city limits with orders
to keep on going.
Latest reports state that the city
is quiet but there is a strong under
current of opinion which apparently
approves the action Of the mob, and
it may be found impossible to prose-
cute the leaders. Racial feeling has
played no small part in the affair. Ev-
cry day, for several weeks whites
we're being replaced in the mills by
the blacks. The invaders became
bold and insolent, many instances OF
women being pushed into the gutter,
insulted on street cars, etc, being re-
ported. General uneasiness of the
whites is given as a reason for the
outbreak. The Hindus are all British
subjects, and their case is being placed
before the British authorities.

He states that the property in ques-

material easily marketed.
The property in question covers

GEORGIA BREWERS PLAN FIGHT.
Move Started at Meeting in Savannah to
Contest Prohibition Law.

Contest Prohibition Law.
A meeting of representatives of sew
eral breWeries Of the state of Georgia
was held in Savannah Saturday, and
action to be taken in the matter of
fighting the recent prohibition law
enacted by the Georgia legislature
was discussed. 1t is said that the
principal ground for the fight will be
based upon the fact that the brewing
of sPirituous and malt liquors has been
pronounced by the United States SUI
preme court legal and legitimate
business, and that interference by a
state legislature is a constitutional VIC
lation and an infringement upon inter
state commerce. Discussion of the
charter rights of the companies was
also engaged in, all Of the companies,
it seems, having charters whose terms
do not expire for some years.

Duluth Men Get Big Ono Without

Duluth, Aug. 21-Victor Huot and
Edward Filetrault, two business men
of Duluth, went bear hunting in an au.
tomobile to the blueberry patches on
the Miller Trunk road, near the White.
face and Paleface rivers. They got
one bear near the Paleface river.
They we're moving slowly along the
road in their machine when large
bear was seen approaching some dis.
tance from them. Mr.. Huot was han
ding the machine. He footed the
horn when the bear was sighted and
the animal, with start of surprise,
reared upon its hind legs in the road
The machine, at the same moment,
came to a stop. ~
Without getting out of his seat Mr..
Filetrault raised his rifle and shot the
bear. The distance was about fifty
yards. The bullet pierced the bears
heart and after running 100 feet into
the woods the animal expired. The
bear weighed 800 pounds and was

B0NAPARTE WILL RETIRE
His Usefulness in the Cabinet
Said to Have Ended.

New York, Aug. 21.-The Journal Of
Commerce publishes story regarding
the possible retirement of Attorney
General Bonaparte from the cabinet.
It says:
According to important interests
in this city very close to the admins
tration the usefulness of Attorney Gen,
eral Bonaparte as a member of the
presidents cabinet has eliminated. 1t
is not expected that immediate retire
ment will result, for such action might
be construed as sign of weakening
In the presidents antitrust policy,
construction particularly distasteful to
Mr.. Roosevelt since not the slightest
justification exists for it. But there Is
no question, according to the excellent
information obtained, that the presi-
dent is not only not in sympathy with
the recent flippant and undignified at
titude and the at least doubtful legal
procedure displayed by the attorney
general, but In all respects opposed to
them" "
The attorney generals policy, the
Journal Of Commerce says it is under
stood. is condemned by all the presi-
dents most trusted advisers and, 1t
adds, there is excellent reason to be-
lieve some important changes in the
cabinet would constitute a protest
against executive endorsement of Mr..
Bonaparte's programme. Secretary
Root, for instance, the paper declares,
Is known to have expressed strong
criticism of it. while Assistant Secre-
tary of State Robert Bacon Is also en-
tirely out of sympathy with the attor-
ney generals policy.
It is not expected, 1t is stated, that
any official consideration will be given
the current strained situation until the
president returns to Washington from
OYSTER Bay.

Mcclure Remains.

The Announcement that A. J. Nc
Guire has been reappointed super
intendent of the Northeast expert
ment farm maintained by the state
at Grand Rapids, Itasca county, is
received with many expressions of
qualification by the citizens of Du-
luth and of St. Louis county.
During the few years that he has
been connected with the experiment
farm,Supt. Mcclure has worked hard
for the development of the agricul-
tural and dairy possibilities of north
ern Minnesota, and his efforts have
already met with telling results.
Mr.. McGuire's ability and the
good work he has been doing for
Northern Minnesota has not only
won for him the appreciation and
gratitude of those who are interested
in the development of the agricul-
tural and dairy possibilities of this
part of the state, but they have
attracted the attention of agricul-
tural specialists in other parts of
the country and his work is pretty
we'll known.
Supt. Mcclure is himself plea sed
at the prospect of remaining on the
experiment farm, for he has about
ten years. work cut out ahead, and
his transfer at this time, the people
here believe, would have been dis
tinct loss for Northern Minnesota.
