cations in the future? Where is the

Therefore doth the ghost of Hartman

and waiting for Diaz to lose authority
either by the hand of Death or man.
"The government can, and probably
WILL" continues Professor Powell, take
lit from the national treasury until
such time as the roads have been placed
upon a paying basis-or until such time
as there is trouble. When there is
trouble! That is where the bondhold-
ers come into their own. That is the
very contingency, witch the shrewd
Hartman foresaw. Every revolution

of part or all of Mexican obligations.
When Diaz dies the trouble will come
and when the trouble comes the gov
ernment will refuse to pay-and when
the government refuses to pay the
bondholders will attempt to foreclose
and if foreclosure is resisted an
American army at the instigation of
the great captains of finance, will
promptly cross the Rio Grande for the
protection of American financial inter
ests, which, in this single instance,
amount to close on four hundred mil.

Since the hour when the news CT TIE
terrible affair at the Peterman farm
became circulated over the quiet
countryside the history OF the Peter
man homestead, with its tragedies
began to be recited over and over.
Fifteen years ago, when the Peter
man family was augmented by tn,
marriage of John Peterman to widow
of the Sugarloaf district and the bring
ing of her three children under the
Peterman roof tree, the family was
one of the happiest of that picturesque
section. One day Mrs. Peterman was
boiling soft soap in a large kettle that
swung from crane in the old log
house. 1t was ponderous cauldron
holding many gallons of the grease
from the annual hog butchering, and
the soap was to be of such quantity
that it would answer the household
all winter.
Somehow-iust how nobody seemed
to know--one of the widows children
in playing about the blazing fire,
knocked the boiling kettle from its
fastening, and the mass of sizzling
grease spilled over, and not only that
particular child, but the two other

would lose her mind, and for long
time the old loghouse was shut up, not
even used as a storehouse, the mem
ory of the kettle tragedy being 50
poignant that the place was aban-
doned. Today it stands as a link be-
tween the hideous past and the more
hideous present.
One day few years after the ter
rible wiping out of Mrs. Peterman's
in the fields not 200 yards from the
house. A high wind, an accompani-
ment to a terrific storm, swept over
the countryside, and just when Peter
man was passing at distance in
which the limbs of the monarch
caught and pinned him to the ground,
a ponderous tree on the knoll was
killed. His grave was added to the
row of little graves in the Sugarloaf
cemetery, and alongside that OF the
first wife.
Always the history of the Peterman
farm was referred to in tones of sad
ness, and the place grew to be asso-
ciated with the community in sort of n
weird way. But the capsheaf of its
tragic history was that enacted some
where In the house or out of it, with
knife and a stone and fist, in the dark
ness the other night between the two
brothers, who were equally interested
in the property.
There were two-score knife wounds
in the body of Abram Peterman when
the undertaken came to lay out his
body for burial and the face and
head were battered in as though done
with a stone. His body had been
found at the foot of wall or over
shot, near the Peterman farmhouse,
and in the latter the brother, John,
himself terribly wounded as though
he had been attacked by veritable
madman, was found in semi-uncon-
scious condition. He acknowledged
having slain his brother, but declared
that if he had not killed Abram he
himself would have forfeited his life.

May First as

Secretary Powell Of the Tampa
Board OF Trade proposes May as
post card day for Florida. and mis- sug-
gestion is an idsal one. California
has found these annual post card days
4 most profitable way to advertise
their state and the idea has grown to
such an extent that more than four
teen million post cards are sent from
that state March Of every year.
Tampa started this same movement
last year and thirty Thousand postais
were sent to friends outside of the
state and this year that city alone VIII
send q hundred thousand more.
An Florida should join in the move
nent and on May / every person IN
the state should send as many post
cards as possible to people living in
far OF sections. Several million cards
could be sent without great expense to
any particular person and the sending
Of these cards win have a most telling
effect. besides making happy the
hearts Of those who would like to hear
from the Land of Enchantment.

credit for the way in which he and his
able force of nre-fghters battled
against the several fires and his good
work demonstrated that he possesses
the faculty Of using every available
means at hand.
But the fire equipment is insufa-
cient to cope with large fires. The

hours at the Southern hotel and had

oped much headway the whole cry
would have been swept away.

FORMER ALBANIAN
is OUT FOR MAYOR
> Montgomery Advertiser.
80 A~~~ -

Many Alabamians living in the mid
ested in the candidacy of Mr.. A.
Greenhut for mayor of Pensacola. Mr..
Greenhut is one of that considerable
colony Of Alabamians who have gone
to Pensacola and assisted in building
up the remarkable prosperity of the
Deep Water City. And like a number
of other Alabamians who cast their lot
with Pensacola, he has benefited by
that same prosperity.
Some years ago Mr.. Greenhut was a
prominent grocer of Greenville. He
was an energetic and progressive citi-
zen of Buffers capital, and aid a high
standing with the people of that coun-
ty. Apparently he was doing well
enough to stay in Greenville, but he
sought larger field and went to Pen
sacola. His career in Pensacola was
like his career in Greenville. He pros
pered there, and he stood high in the
esteem of the people. He has served
as president of the city council of PET
sacola, and he has been identified with
the movements which made for the
progress and prosperity of Pensacola.
He has been specially interested in the
building and improvement of Pensa-
cola parks. According to reports he is
strong candidate in his race for
mayor and has an excellent chance of
winning.
Mr.. Greenhut is well known in Mont
gomery, where he not only has a wide
circle of friends, but a number Of rela-
tives.
