 But the United States ofsciais have certain propensity to nose out any mystery. and they delved into the for eign smelling atmosphere of Char ley's laundry. They perused the Chi nese exciusion act, and they looked askance at Charley There came to Charley letter from China. bearing besides the address in English, another inscription. an the heavy black sym bois of Chinaiand.

 New York, Dec. 22.--Acter forty years of railroad service. eight of which was spent as head of the great New York Central system. William Fl. Newman today rendered hts resig- nation as president of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company.
 The directors accepted the resIgna- ton to take effect February 1st. next. It Is said that possibly he may be in iduced to remain a member of the di- arecting board, While no oGicial an. nouncement regarding q successor for MT. Newman was made, 1t was rulnor- ed that W. c. Brown, senior vice president. of the road, probably wifi succeed to the presidency.
 Although Mr. New1aan's retirement had been discussed at frequent inter vaIs during the past two years. his resignation today came as a surprise.
 In accepting the resignation, the d. rectors adopted a resolution ''appre- ciating the service he has rendered the harmony which prevatls through out the management and the co-op- eration which the board has always had from him"

 W There were witnesses of every de- gree of posftiveness, and none who were at all doubtful. that were pro- duced by each of the claimants. 'Bost- wick and his witnesses swore that the dog was his; Raul and his witnesses dti likewise for Raul And none of the testimony could be impeached on the score of unreliabiiitys
 And there is sure one puzzled judge. There was an easy solution for the old Solomon in the case of thetwo mothers and the one child, but for Judge Youne there is no such deciding action. And such was his bewiiierment that the justice took the matter 10 bed last night. to sleep and ponder over. There has been no judicial opinion handed down as yet.

CHEAPER CABLE RATES.

ential interests Bn America.
 New York, Dec. 2z.-That not only cheaper but very much cheaper rates for cab1egran1s acrpss the Atlantic are near at hand. was the assertion Of Ro- dolph Leniux. the Postmaster-G General in the Canadian Cabinet this after noon on the eve Of friss departure for Canada, after day spent in this city following his arrival from Europe last night.
 Alr. Lemiux said the movement had recommended itself to influential in terests in the United States also, but he declined to be questioned as to whether or not this Government had been, or would be approached by Cam ada or Great Britain in the matter. If the cable companies would make the reduction that would satisfy the Governments, according to Mir. Lemtux then there would be no new cable laid across the Atlantic, and he believed that was what was likely to happen. In any event. he added. he had received such assurances in London that he felt almost certain that the day of very much cheaper cablegram rates between Europe and America was not distant.
 MT. Lemiux said the demand on the Atlantic Cable Company which was expected- to. come t6 a Conclusion this spring, was not for an arbitrary rate of pences namely4 cents, word, as he said was err6neousfy supposed in many q1arterss It had been proposed. instead, that messages be divided into several classes.- such. as urgent, semi. urgent and deferred, for instance. and charged for accordingly. but in any event, the rate to be considerable lower than the prevailing 2b-centf rate.

The first letter that has been receiys ed from Ed GreminEer since he lsft Montxomary last September came to President Chambers yesterday morning. much of a correspondent. but hstsays that he is working quietly and thinks he will be able to bring several gooo men to Montgomery in March. lie he is after fast. hard hitting ouIfields CT, g high class tnfieider and q left- handed pitcher.
 It Is known that trades are already If this deal of Gremingers goes through, the chances are that there will be something like six fast infieid- CTS when the Climbers begin showing and Pope at short of Course have cinches on those two jobs, but Rocken- field will have a fight for the job. at second base, and there will be another If Gene pemont comes to Montgomery the fight for second base will be pret- ty lively, and 1t all promises to result in making the local infield one of the fastest propositions In this league next
 The Birmingham Age-Herald of yes7 terday morning confirmed The Adver- tiser's statement that Demont was still the property of the Birmingnam club. The Aee-Herald says that De- mont is on the suspended list9s of the Birmingham Club, and that he will De released to any club wanting him tor the sum of $4e0.
 Greminger will make four men for the lots next March. Daly and Persons are probably fixtures In the outffeld ana the selection of the third man will be between Sis Hopkins and the man that Grsminger Is after.
 If Greminger lands the left. handed pitcher that he says he is after 1t will make seven men for the pitching staff, Forest Thomas, Whitey Guese, Johnny Lively, Herbert Juul. Elmers Bliss, Thomasl younger brother and the new, man. Even if Bliss does not come back to Montgomery next season, 1t will leave six men for the pitching staff, but as Juul does not report until after he graduates from the University of Illinois in June, it will sleaye five to. i'll in when the men report in March. as he wants until May 14. the chances are that all five Of them will be car rfed. the first Western trip beginuing just about May fs or 16.. unless there is q Northern and Southern division. An attempt to change the divisions of the league was made In Little Rock last February and resulted in failure
 BiiI Kay. the hard hitting outfieider bought from the Washington club of the American League ,iast spring. is still the property of the Montgomery club, although he refused to report here and has never been seen by-iocaI fans. In ise7 Kay played only twen-- ty-fIve games with the Washington club. but got twenty hits in those. games and had a batting average Of .'33S, being next to Ty Cobb, who fed the Ameeican League that year Kay would make some club cracking good man. but whoever gets him will have to buy him from Montgomery. With Kay 1t makes five men for the out field next March. and it all goes to show that Greminger and his Climbers are pretty well fixed for the break-a- way next season.

HUNDRED BARRELS
POTATOES AN ACRE
THAT'S THE RECORD MADE BY
C. r. DENTON AT GLENDALE
ON FIRST CROP.

G. r. Denton of Glendale, was one
of the most successful growers OF
Irish potatoes of the county this year
On twelve measured acres Mr. Den
ton raised on his first crop LIPS bar
rels of merchantable potatoes and
225 barrels of seed potatoes. He sold
the merchantable potatoes to G. d.
Park of Columbia for $1.75 per barrel
or $1,S6S.75. and sold the seed at $100
per barrel or 1925, making total of
$2,O99.75, or an average per acre of
$1744S, which is a pretty good price
for even the best of Maury county
land
Mr. Denton will raise on the same
land a second crop of potatoes and
with much good luck should receive
from $50 to SIS per acre from that
crop. Mauly county land is about as
productive property as a man can
,wn these days.
