orc deserved FiTty ears ago
In March the Southern Commercial
Congress held a convention in Allan
ia, and addresses were delivered by
President Taft, former President
Roosevelt and other men of promi-
nence. Newspapers and magazines
gave generous space to the subject of
southern development. Following is
fair example of editorial comment:
Florida is receiving at the hands of
the nation today that to which she
was justly entitled fifty years ago.
Very truly has it been said that west
Georgians are going to enact law

state from the boil weevil the expert

HIS WONDERFUL RECORD

HE never inherited an office and
never ran for one," says a Georgia
memorialist "Once or twice they
tried to get him to stand for the legis-
lature, and even congress has been
mentioned to him, but he never weak
ened. He has been in Washington
for weeks at time, but never took a
snapshot at the White House or sent
his card to congressman. And to
the people he was plain Mr. to the
last. No man ever colonelized or gen.
eralized him. In a community of cap
tains and colonies he was a simple
wonder" Atlanta Constitution.

GEN. VERRECK'S II REASONS FOR
DECLINE OF MlLITARIEM

Having been criticized for declaring
that the military spirit in America
was at a low ebb, Adjutant General
Verbeck has given several reasons
for the National Guard is difficult
They follow:
The influence of Andrew Carnegie
and his peace fund of 100000 900.

lie school teachers toward military
drill and military spirit in the
schools.
The hostility of things military to
the Boy Scouts of America.
The great tendency to commercial
ism and worship of the dollar
The large amount of time consumed
by social obligations.
The jealous hostility of the average
wife to- the amount of time that their
husbands must give military interests
and affairs.
The large amount of ridicule to
which military officers are subjected.
The large number of fraternal or
CARNATIONS that are permitted to wear
gorgeous military uniforms to the dis
advantage of palmer uniforms now
used by soldiers.
The general decay of military spirit
in the country.
The lack of education on the part
of the general public in regard to mil
itary affairs.

GENERAL ATTACK ON JUAREz
RESUMED BY MADER0'S MEN

being made by the entire insurrecto
army with the sanction of Madero.
Some of Madero's leaders say it first
started when drunken volunteers fired
on rebel sentries. 1t is generally con-
sidered that Madero did not have
power to stop the fighting and was
forced to eventually give it his appro-
val.
San Diega, May 9.-Tia Juana, in
Lower California, was captured by the
insurrectos this morning and buildings
in the town fired by rebels. Dead
bodies in the streets and about the
Catholic church are visible through
field glasses. Many are dead and
wounded on both sides.
At 1910 this afternoon the Associ-
ated Press correspondent returned
from the interior of Juarez and reports
ed that the rebels were gradually
gaining possession of the town. DR..
Vasquez Gomez, in charge at Madero's
field headquarters, announced shortly
before noon that the rebels would take
the city within three hours.

Bullets poured into hi Paso from

American priyates from the insurrecto

I am in favor of local option I am

"The theory of democracy is that
