TROOPS TO RETURN

Understood That an Entire Regi. ment Will Be Stationed at
 Atlanta

Atlanta. November 4.--(speciaD. The United states army post, Fort McPher- sen, will be populated again next week fer the first time since the Mexican revo- lution, when the troops located here, the Seventeenth United States Infantry. were the first sent to the Mexican frontier.
 The Seventeenth Infantry is to be re- turned here, though for long time it was thought it would be ordered to a Texas post. or some point farther vest, and that Fort McPherson would be left vacant. Some hard work by the Cham- Der of Commerce and It's allies, however, resulted in q change of these tentative plans, and the regiment was ordered re- turned here. Only two battalions of the regiment have heretofore been stationed here, but it is reported that the entire regiment will ultimately be stationed at Fort McPherson. There nave usually been about S00 men and 50 officers here
 Advices are that the regiment will break camp in Texas and start back on Monday. arriving here on Wcdnesday.

BUYER OF [. COTTON SEED MEAL
Exports From South Are Expected to Be Larger
 Than Ever Before

Atlanta. November 4.-lSpecial.)-Ae-
 cording to M. Frank of this city one or
 the pioneers in the cotton seed oil m- dugtry. and ene of the best posted men in the business, Europe will be the sheav- .est huver of cotton seed meal for cattle feeding this year in her history. AS
 matter of fact the exports thls season nIreadv show a. great increase, with the chances of Il continued increase for some months to come. MT. Franks statement fig based upon personal observation, ana
 nor renorts. for he spends four months each year in Europe and is a ciiose stu dent of economic and commercial prob lems as between this country and Eu-
 rope. He has recently returned from
 abroad and talks most interestingly or conditions across the sea.
 According to MT. Frank, Europe during inc past summer suffered from 0 great
 drorth which has done much to curtail
 her usual supply of grasses, grains and regular feedstuffs. There was no second
 crop of hay upon which Germany, Aus tria, Hungary, France and Spain are so dependable. He states that the German government has already taken cogni- zance of the situation, and has reduced the freight rates on the imperial lines. from port points to the interior, in order to allow the farmers to get their feed- stuffs as inexpensive as possible. Flu rope has long been great believer and user of cotton seed meal as an animal feed on account of it's richness in protein, so essential to animal life, and because it can be bought cheaply and handled with little trouble and expense. The ship | ping news from Georgia ports, especially | Savannah, shows heavy tonnage being | sent abroad already. It now seems that | the south will furnish animal feed not l only for the south and the west, where | there is a short corn and grain crop, but l to Europe as well.
