IN MEXICO.

There is a plethora of news COM
ing about the Mexican situation and
Uncle Sans attitude. The most re-
cent development of importance is
an armistice of five days that went
into effect Sunday looking to ad-
justmemt of the troubles between
the government and the insurrectos.
1t is evident there is much unrest
and trouble in Mexico, but the Diaz
government is still in the saddle and
may be strong enough to stay there.
The United States is watching ev-
cry move in the strife-cursed land,
and can act if action is needed The
mass of the American people are
hoping for a just and early settle
ment of the troubles, and without
any crossing of the border by Amer
lean troops.

A STORY OF THE TIMES.

From the Savannah News.
1t is a typical story of the times
that Jeff R. Allen, the assistant
Blackshear postmaster, tells. He is
now in Chatham county Jail on a
charge of misappropriating money
order funds. He admits his guilt,
and tells of his temptation and fall
1t is a case of eXtravagance-of
living beyond his means. He wanted
an automobile, just like other young
men financially better able to pur-
chase and own automobiles, and so
he took the money to buy one. He
didn't mean to steal. He told him
self that he would restore the mon
ey, but he never had it to restore.
When he told himself that he would
restore it he didn't know where he
would get it. He simply hoped that
| in some way he would come by it
honestly, and thus be able to set
himself right with the government.
The automobile is all right for
those who can afford it, but many
sins are committed in its name. How
many homes are made unhappy by

makes necessary! What a number
of human interest stories can be
| traced to it, What a load of debt it
has placed upon many a mana
load so heavy that it causes restless
nights and days full of worry And
a man who is worried or who is de-
prived of his full amount of sleep

business, or, if an employee, he can
not render satisfactory service.
Young Allen is of course and ex-

but there are hundreds whose lives
are made miserable by the debt bur-

so miserable that the pleasure they

Automobiles, however, are not re-
sponsible for 1.-THE extravaganza of
people. Those who buy them, those
financially unable to do so, would
probably go into debt for something
else. They are so constituted that

direction of luxuries they cannot af.

FIGHTING THE WEEVIL.

The Macon Telegraph has inaugu-
rated a campaign of the right kind
against the boil weevil. Our con-
temporary, which has always taken
an interest in and fostered Georgia S
agricultural resources, is urging upon
the farmers the Importance of pre-
pairing in advance for the coming of
the pest by diyersifying their crops
and raising more hogs, cattle and
stock. To encourage them along
this line the Telegraph will offer to
the farmer making the best display
Of diversified products from his farm

brood mares. The Telegraph is also
going to send a special representa-
tive, accompanied by a member of

that can be learned about the wee
vii with the hope that Georgians may
be posted in time on the subject.

THE TOWN KILLERS.

From the Nashville (Ga) Herald.
A town that never has anything to
do in a public way is on the way to
the cemetery, Any citizen who will
do nothing for the town is helping
to dig the grave. A man that curses
the town furnishes the coffin. The
man who is so selfish as to have no
time from his affairs to give to civic
affairs is making the shroud. The
man who will not advertise is driv-
ing the hearse. The man who is al
ways pulling back from any public
enterprise throws bouquets on the
grave. The man who is so stingy as
to be bowling hard times breaches
the funeral, sings the doxology, and
thus the town lies buried from all
sorrow and care.

THE SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.

If the present slaughter OF birds
goes on much longer many varieties
of bird life must become extinct.
The butchery of these feathered
creatures is carried on at rate
which few cOmprehend-nOt alone
for sport, but that the birds may
be marketed in the great cities.
One dealer in New York has confess
ed to selling 100000 birds a year,
and in one cold storage house in that
city were found 42,759 birds Of vari-
Gus kinds. The number of bobolinks
slaughtered in the South every year
reaches into the tens of thousands,
and a large percentage of these are
shipped to New York. Carrituck
Sound, North Carolina, is a winter
feeding ground to which the wild
ducks and geese come from the mid
die west and northwest every year.
Last winter there were killed and
shipped from the Carrituck Sound
section 100000 wild ducks and
Is, 900 wild geese. Modern ammuni-
ton and firearms make possible this
frightfuI slaughter and the lax laws
of the states encourage it.
In this connection it is interesting
to know that the blame for $780,
100000 year damage to farm crops
by the destruction of birds which
feed on insect pests has been laid
upon sportsmen by J. P. Gilbert, Of
the University of Illinois. Quail on
the farm is worth many dollars" he
said, although quail On toast is
worth but few cents in spite of the
high prices. One flicker can eat
5000 ants at a single meal, and the
kingfsher is the most powerful de-
fender Of the poultry yard in eX-
istence." Notification of Mr.. Gill
bert's statements are given in bull
letin of the Department of Agricult-
ure just issued, which mentions the
disappearance of the various shore
birds which are fond of insect pests
of forage and grain crops, particular
ly the army worm, which is eaten
by the kildee and spotted sandpiper;
also cut worms, whose most active
enemy in early days were woodcock,
upland ployer and killdee. Accord
ing to this bulletin jack snipe, plo-
yer, woodcock and other shore birds
are nearing determination, and pres
ent conditions are such that the
wonder is any escape.
The demand for game birds as
food and the demand for bird plu-
mage on the part of the milliners
will soon render many of our most
valued birds extinct. There is a
game law in Georgia, and it is to the
interest of the farmers that it be
vigorously enforced.

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

The United States senate, during
the recent regular session, put itself
on record as opposed to the constitu-
tional amendment proposing direct
election of United States senators.
The house of representatives takes
the opposite view. With only six
teen opposing votes the house a few
days ago declared for direct cleo
ton. But unless the senate shall re-
wise it's verdict the action Of the
house is not likely to bring what
many patriotic people seem to regard
as a very desirable reform.
1t may SAVIOR somewhat of lack Of
reverence for what appears to be
dominant democratic sentiment, but
The News ventures to express its
satisfaction with the old, the time
honored way of electing United
States senators. That way is assert
i've of the dignity of the state, is in
line with the theory of states rights,
as We understand and revere that
theory. This old way brings dead
lock occasionally, and even a scan
dal once in awhile; but it may be
doubted if the direct vote procedure
would insure purity of elections,
either. And what we have seen of
the primary system fright here in
Georgia, too, in a recent campaign
for the office of goyernOr) strength
ems the apprehension that under the
proposed system for the election of
senator's no one but rich man, or
a man for whom money is made up,
can enter the race for a senatorship.
We expect to see legislatures elect
ing United States senators for long
time yet.

He will point the way for good dem

Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Is

that in addition to being the first
