NO HIGH HAT MEN
TO WELCOME TAFT

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 20.-President
Taft and his party will be met al
New Orleans, upon the termination OF
their trip down the Mississippi river,
by plain clothes" citizens. 1t has been
decided that high hats and frock coats
will not constitute prerequisite for
service on the reception committee.
When Mr.. Taft visited New Orleans
last winter the reception committee,
numbering some 1000 persons, were
asked to don the habiliments that go
with formal affairs Of the daytime.
This sort of attire has never been popu-
lar in New Orleans, and the dicturl
created CONSERVATION among the ranks
of those who were to receive the Pres
ident-eIect. They all met the situation
bravely, however, and CARRIED them
selves, in the face of difficulties, IN
the required garments of ceremony.
The members of the committee which
will receive the President here in Octo-
Der. are not to be so severely taxed,
according to those in charge of the
reception.
According to the program formulated
today, President Taft and party will
be met on the morning Of october 50
and taken under military and naval
escort to their hotel. In the afternoon
of the same day President Taft Will
address the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep wa
terways convention. An informal recep-
ton to the President will take place
that evening. A sacred concert at Tu-
lane University in honor of the pres
ident will be given Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Taft is expected to make talk at
that time The president will leave
New Orleans Monday. Vice President
sherman, Speaker Cannon and other
officials will address the
Waterways convention on Monday and

BOIL WEEVILS KILLED
BY INTENSE HEAT

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. H.-Dr. w. D.
Hunter, the government entomologist in
charge Of the southern field crop, in a
bulletin today declares that the terrific
heat of the last few days has killed more
that 80 per cent Of the boil weevils in
Texas and Oklahoma, and that the heat
and dryness of the season have every
where brought out small plants on which
the bolls will soon open, so the crop may
be picked at an aDnoTmally early day.
In conclusion, Dr. Hunter says:
'Tf the farmers will accept the oppor-
tunity nature has provided, hasten the
picking of the crop. uproot and burn the
plants, there is no possibility that there
will be many weevils lert; in fact, if the
cotton plants should be destroyed gener-
ally in Texas by the middle of September.
there would be no boil weevils in Texas
next year"

POULTRY MEN TO
BOOST NEXT SHOW

Poultry men throughout Georgia and the
south are looking forward with a great
deal of anticipatory interest to the first
poultry show in Atlanta's new auditorium
the show scheduled for the first week
in January by the Georgia Poultry asso-
citation.
Inquiries from poultrymen all over the
country are coming In by every mail to
the secretary of the association, c. o.
Harwell, on Pryor street. Periodicals de-
voted to poultry interests are giving the
show their attention, and the widespread
interest that the announcement of 1t has
developed demonstrates that it will be an
aoceped exhibition and that the associa-
ton has been successful in its effort to
make the show one of a general nature.
Two shows have been held in former
years by the association, but they were
strictly Georgia affairs and did not aspire
to the pretentions of the exposition now
getting ready.
William Cook & Sons, of Scotch Plains,
n. j., originators of the world-famed
Orpington fowls and ducks, will have
their prize string of birds on exhibit. 9th
er noted poultry farms will be represent
ed. Will V. thinner, of the Kimballville
farm near Atlanta, is taking an active
interest in the exposition, and his farm
will be entered for competition with the
best in the show.
The American Kennel club will show in
connection, and a whole department will
be given over to the pigeon exhibits. The
whole affair is being planned on a big
scale. Judges of national reputation will
decide the awards. The latter will begin
with this show to rank with those given
out at the annual exhibitions at Madison
square garden, New York.
The Atlanta show will be open to all
entries, from anywhere within the state
or out of II.

CHINA AND JAPAN
AGREE OVER ROAD

TOXIC, Aug. 20.-The memorandum
signed at Mukden, Manchuria, August 10
by representatives of the japanese and
Chimes governments practically closes the
Antung- Mukden controversy. According
to the terms of this understanding, China
agrees to afford Japan every assistance
in the reconstruction OF the Antung- Auk-
den railroad and withdraws all her OBJ
jections
An official communication issued to the
powers this afternoon details the prog
ress Of the negotiations since August G
as follows:
with reference to the reconstruction
of the Antung- Mukden railroad, Baron
IJuin, the Japanese minister to China,
notified China on August that the work
would be undertaken immediately The
Chinese government replied that China
did not insist on her objections. but re-
quested that the question OF the recti-
fication of the line might be submitted to
commissioners appointed by both coun-
tries. On August 10 Baron Ijuin replied
to this note that the proposed changes
In the line were confined to the absolute
necessities. based on the result of the
joint survey already made by the commits
sioners of both governments. 1t was
therefore unnecessary to send out new
commissioners and consequently desirable
mat the Chinese government at once ap-
prove the line as already surveyed.
"On August Is China answered this IAN
anese communication in such terms that
the japanese government felt justified In
assuming that China was fully prepared
to recognize the immediate necessity OF
reconstructing the road, and desired to
render all necessary cooperation.
THE japanese government, therefore. In
consideration Of the friendly relations be-
tween japan and China, instructed its
at Mukden to sign nemo-
randum with the viceroy and governor.
This was done August 49, and the sub
stance Of the memorandum is as fol-
lows:
A" First, the Antung- Mukden shalt b
the same gauge as the Pekin- Mukden liner
japan and China recognize and
approve the line as already surveyed, but
the location Of a portion of the line be-
tween Mukden and Chen Hsiang-Tung
shall be decided after a conference be-
tween representatives of the two ma
tons: third. negotiations for the pur-
chase Of land and the adjustment of all
Of the signature of the memorandum,
fourth, from the day after the signatures
have been affixed, the work of reconstruc-
ton shall be accelerated; and, fifth. China
shall instruct her local officials all along
the line to give every facility in the
matter of the execution of the work."

KILLS BILL TO MOVE
ALABAMA CAPITAL

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Aug. 20.--Making
the whole proposition a great joke, the
senators last night killed the bill of SEN
ator Wilson to move the capital from
Montgomery to Birmingham. Mr.. Wilson
got the bill up only after an effort. saying
that he demanded a vote, and the levity
was led by Mr. Miller, the Birmingham
senator On motion to indefinitely post
pone, which is the technical word for
senatorial execution, the ayes were so
loud as to make the two or three nays
sound like a rock falling into an old
cave. There was never any serious atter-
ton given to the movement.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-Statistics compiled
by National Chairman Jones, of the Pro-
hibition party, from an advance report OF
the United States internal revenue bu-
reau for the fiscal year 1903, are put forth
as a counter to the assertions of the
Texas Brewers association, that prohi-
bition never prohibits and that more
liquor is sold in dry than in wet ter
ritory.
The assertions are contained in state
ment which in part reads as follows:
ION the basis OF the official records is
sued by the internal revenue department
for the four fiscal years. June 80, 1905, to
June 90, 1909, the fact develops that the

years of age, fas always disliked to

him that to be strong and healthy
boy, he should always drink milk
While visiting a neighbor with me one
day he saw a little boy who was a
cripple and could not walk. NAM
ma" said he, why can't the little
baby walk" told him the reason
was because the baby did not drink
milk. Then ! said to my little son
Why don't you drink MILK" This
was his reply; Because | can walk"
Since then have had more trouble
in persuading him to drink milk than
ever before.
