AUGUSTA, GA, March fS.--
PRESIDENT Taft would look upon
an invasion OF Mexico as q dec
Iarauon OF war-and that Is pos
siDie only BY action OF congress.
This Information, which was allow
ed informally to drift out Of the exc
cutve headquarters here to-day, led
10 the belief that the new congress
VIII receive an early message deal
ing with the International situation
pack or the army and navy mobiliza-
ton. That there IL some motive of
far greater importance than has yet
been officiaily announced In the con-
viction Of persons who have observed
the various developments. II Ia ex-
planned that for international con-
siderations" the president cannot dis
cuss the situation for publication. The
consistent secrecy thrown about the
whole matter has resulted in an al
most complete reversal OF custom
throughout the administration in deal
ing with newspaper men and the
public.
There is an utter indifference to
criticism and q sentiment OF con.
hdence apparent In the actions OF the
administration that lead unavoidably
to the belief that those ON the ..in-
side" have no doubt that tire move
ment OF troops and ships will be JUS
titled when the full facts at length
are made public.
President Taft paid Japan a high
compliment In his Atlanta speech, al
most going out of his way to do So
and that fs where he has publicly left
the Japanese question for the pres
emit
The whole situation results in a
strengthened belief that an early ex-
PLANTATION will be forthcoming in a
message to congress, as 1t is thought
that the way must be paved. at least,
for invasion IL the desired purposes
are to be accomplished effectively.
The only vague hint of Japanese
danger. so far as the president il con-
cerned. was in connection with the
announcement that the chief trouble
in Mexico lay in lower California,
where 1t was feared that an "irre-
sponsible government" might be es-
tablished as result Of such an even
tuality. II is pointed out that Japan
might easily succeed, through inter-
nal influence in such a government.
in obtaining firm control of Magda-
lena Bay as a naval base.
The reported activity In Mexico OF
japanese diplomats Is not discussed
here. All queries are turned off with
the usual statements about this being
time for vacation and not for busi-
ness: that the president il too busy
playing golf to think Of such things.

CANDIDATES.

Speculation has been rife concern-
ing successor to Captain s. II. Dono-

will retire from office at the expira-
ton of his term and although the
day il yet far distant when a new
auditor OF public accounts viii be
chosen five men prominent In the pub

able candidates for the Office.
Captain Donohoe's term expires on
March l, 1912. and his successor will
be chosen at the next legislature.
The position carries salary OF &4.5e0
and has other attractions and II is
reasonable TO suppose that an interest,"
ing contest will be waged for the
vacancy.
The new auditor will be chosen in
a joint Democratic caucus of the two
houses of the General Assembly and
the action OF the caucus will be ratified
in joint session. Notwithstanding the
fact that Ave men have been mention
ed as probable candidates, no one a.
yet has announced his candidacy.

Judge f. w. Sims, Of Louisa, who
Is member OF the senate, looms up
as one OF the candidates who viii

position. Friends of Judge Sims ara

the Office and probable chances oe
gaining 1t. His associates In Rich
mond have not heard from him since
Captain Donohoe's announcement. but
ii Is believed that Judge Sims will
confidentialiy express his decision In
the near future.
In view Of the fact that he has
made a previous effort to gain the
position. 1t is assumed and not de-
MED that Chief Clerk G. Lee Moore
will be a candidate for the auditor

nently fitted for the office as he Is
familiar with its duties through long
service. An Eighth district man. Mr..
Moore has wide circle or friends who

ADVANTAGES OF THE GRANGE.

The State Grange organizer W.
r. Gekeler of La Grande, Ore.
will be in the valley in April to
install the officers of Valley View
Grange, and organize several
more at different places in the
county. Everyone engaged in
Agriculture over ID years old is
eligible and is cordially asked
to cooperate with Mr.. Gekeler
in this worthy cause.
For those who are not familiar
with this work | will outline n
few of its benefits:
1t is inexpensive: because it Is
the farmers only organization;
national in character; because 1t
has exerted greater influence in
securing state and national leg
islation in interest of agriculture
than any agency in the country;
because it is ofiicered by those
engaged in agriculture, who
know from experience the needs
of farmers and are sincere in
| their desire to aid them in every
possible way; because it is the
duty of farmers to cooperate
with one another, if they would
successfully meet the influence
of organization in every direct
lion, and secure for wife and
home a fair share of what the
harvest yields; because it has
secured national legislation in
the oleomargarine law. the es-
tablishment of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the es-
tablishment of rural free mail
delivery and state legislation in
every state in the interest Of the
farming population.
