All Are Unpopular.

Without exception these men have
contributed valuable services to their
country and to their president, but
the popular feeling against them has
been growing steadily since long be-
fore the beginning of the revolution.
Ramon Corral is not so old that his
age can be used as an argument
against his usefulness, but i'll health
during the last few months has served
the same purpose. especially when it
is taken into consideration that the
man has not been popular among a
great proportion of the people from
whose ranks the revolutionists are
drawn.

CITY of Mexico.-The Diaz cabinet
resigned in a body at a special meet,
ing of that body Friday. The president
deferred action upon the designations
The reason given for the action, IN

All Well Along in Years.
Not one of the men who until today
formed President Diaz's cabinet IS less
than s. years of age and a number OF
them are much older. With the ex
ception of Enrique c. Creel, minister
of foreign affairs, all have been mem
bers of the presidents official fam
lily for a great many years, and TINS

ances of the revolutionists, who nave
insisted that the chief executive

ATLANTA NOW VERY 4DRY' ON SUNDAYS
Since Charge Delivered Some Time Ago By Jurist
 Has Been Enforced

Atlanta, December 1s.-(Special.)-At- lanta is as dry" these days on Sunday as the desert of Sahara. This is not a weather story, and the above statement does not come from the local weather forecaster.
 | There are hundreds of people in At lanta, however, who will corroborate the story, and the majority of them are won- dering whether the drouth will be tenn porary or permanent. l These Atlantans have been accustomed to walking into their favorite club on Sunday afternoons or evenings, and talk | ing a seat at table, wait until white aproned negro came gliding over, with a "What'n you have, sir?'' Then, little pad, a few scrbbled marks. and a signature. And then the nice, cold, refreshing drink, or something considerably stronger than water. Noth- ing could be more comfy, nothing so re- freshing to the man who has been out on a long, hot walk or who has oeen sweating in an office over some work he ought to have been able to finish up on Saturdays.
 Nothing like that in Atlanta these days The golden times are past. The oases are as dry as the rest of the prohibition des- ert, of which Atlanta is but one small part.
 It all came about as a result of the charge delivered months ago by a su- perior court judge, in which he told the jury that when, any number of people gather at a certain place for number be considered tippling house, and against tippling houses there is a law on the statute books of the state, though it has not been enforced for 10 these many years.
 To escape any such disaster as having cases made and tried in the courts the clubs have decided to come strictly with in the law, and drinks are only a mem- ory today.
 Sunday was one of the dryest of the Sundays Atlanta has experienced The man who has been accustomed to hS thirst quencher went into his club con fidently, and was told there, almost be- fore he could sit down. that the reading and writing rooms were open to him; that the cafe had a most excellent and appetizing service. with milk and water and ginger ale on the side; that the show CT baths offered plenty of opportunity of cleansing the outer man, but that, in sol far as cleansing the inner man was con cerned why he would have to be content with the cup that cheers but does not inebriate.
 All the club visitors did not stay for the baths.

 Hon. R. F. Kolb, Commissioner of Ag- riculture and Industries, Montgom- | cry, Ala.
 Dear Sir and Friend.
 In answer to youns of the 18th inst | will say I hasten to reply and state
 emphatically to you that l am with
 you in denouncing this scheme and so
 wired you this morning. It does not
 mean, captain, the holding of cotton but
 means dumping it on the market For
 I am in possession of one of their print | ed propositions signed by Pell & Co, | of New York and Pell is Thompsou's | son Jaw, and they are members of | the New York cotton exchange. and | it plainly says that they will sell this cotton and hedge on the board Anoth- CT bad feature, captain, they only ad-
 vance $25 granting, l admit, the l right to the farmer to sell when he l chooses prior to January l, 1913, which gives them the exclusive use of the diff | ference in cost on his bale of cotton | for them to use; for two winters past | l have lent my aid and influence in Washington in behalf of the Scott bill to eliminate gambling in this country
 in agricultural products on the board
 and l cannot take part in this scheme
 at this late day, and turn party to q gambling scheme myself. My solu-
 tion is with your views in toto and that | is to educate the cotton grower 10 the point showing him that it is to his 1 interest to diversity his crops this is
 the solution and the only one that I | see. And I know you will agree with
 me, and will be in position to place it | so strong before your associates in l New Orleans next week that we can
 make it effective.
 | 1 had a long message from Commis- ! sioner Watson asking me to be present or have a representative. I mmediate- | ly wrote J. J. Robinson to go if possible | as I don't think it best owing to the | condition of my health for me to tackle | this long trip. l am going to Birming- ham tomorrow and will be there two | or three days, and if you happen to be | there before going to New Orleans call | on me-. If not, trust to meet you soon
 after the holidays are over. Sincerely 1 your friend, W. A. MORRIS, President" | The information from President Bar
 rett was to the above effect, both of the communications showing that farm
