 after having made a most enjoyable visit to old friends in Mobile, her for mer home. She is a woman of brilliant conversational gifts. and charming social graces and Is always the center of delightful coterie wherever she makes her home.

 IN GOLF TOURNEY

Commenting upon the golf tournament which creates so much interest in Bir- mingham because of the prowess Of one Mrs. Willard Sullivan, who is still con sidered our own, though she recently moved to Virginia, an Atlanta paper has the following:
 On May 15 1911, at Atlanta, Ga, there will be held a woman's golf tournament for the championship of the south.
 The Atlanta Athletic club having of fered it's course at East Lake, the use Of the club houses. and also proper trophies six cups, conditional only on B entries this tournament will, therefore, be under it's auspices.
 Such changes as are desirable to make this course entirely suitable for wom- ans tournament are being made.
 Cottagers at the lake express desire to entertain the visitors, and those not preferring to go to hotels will be well comed in this manner. ssf
 As a woman's Southern Golf associa- ton will be formed at the same time, 1t is especially important that every club be represented Membership and players to be restricted to the south.
 Without cooperation on your part, this first woman's tournament cannot be a success. But if each club will interest it's players and also take part in this or ganization, the Womans Southern Golf association will be handsomely assured. The numerous replies already received evidence this.
 Further announcements will be mailed later.

PEANUT CROP IS b|G POSSIBILITY

Washington, March 15-The possibilities for the profitable cultivation of the pea nut in the southern states, especially in the cotton boil weevil belt. where this insect has rendered it almost impossible to grow cotton with success. are pointed out in a bulletin on the peanut just Issued by the department of agriculture. In fact, it is shown that the peanut may be grown i'll the boil weevil districts in the south with much more profit than the white staple. When the value of the commercial peanut crop of the United States for 1908 was estimated at $12,0O0,000 the wonder is expressed that this article of food is not more generally cultivated, particularly in the south and southwest, where it can be grown at great profit
 The demand for the peanut as an article of food is constantly growing. In this connection the interesting fact is de- veloped that this country is a large pur- chaser of peanut oil from abroad. while there are thousands of acres of waste lands in the south capable of producing enough peanuts to keep the cotton seed oil mills running and furnish more than enough oil for home consumption.
 That the cultivation of the peanut is profitable industry may be seen from the figures of the bulletin. An acre of first class peanuts, calculating for the yield at a ton of vines, worth from SS to s10, and 60 bushels of peas worth $40 to $6O, will give an income of $4S to s70. The cost of growing an acre of peanuts is variously estimated at s12 to $25, thus showing a net return of $36 to $45. This Is above the average for the crop as now grown in the United States, it is stated, but decidedly lower than may be expect ed under favorable conditions and proper cultivation methods M .s,,-,-

WILL NOT PROTECT
 AMERICAN ALLIES

New York, March 15.-What may be considered in effect the official Mexican reply to representations said to have been made by the United States asking as liberal treatment as possible for Americans caught bearing arms in Mex ican territory is contained in a state- ment made here this afternoon by Jo- seph Limantour, Mexican minister of finance.
 In substance it is indicated that cap tured American allies of the. revolution ists will have to take their chances with their Mexican rebel companions. The in timation is strong that no preferential treatment can be accorded them. This is considered to mean that under mar tial law they might be summarily tried and executed.
 .I am firmly convinced,' said MT. Li- mantour, that except for the sympathy. financial support and actual participa- ton in conflicts of Americans the in- surrectos in Chihuahua and Sonora could not long continue.
 "This mornings dispatches report that young American, a former broker in New York, so it Is claimed, is leading band of desperadoes along the lines of the National Railways of Mexico and the Mexico Northwestern railway to- ward Juarez. and that they have torn up additional stretches of track on those roads.
 "In the territory served by the Nation al railways between Juarez and Torreon some 5000 people are employed in the mining industry in that section of Mex ico This means that not only thou 70 thrown ont of employment, but also that when idle they are melted by some of their dis loyal countrymen and by irresponsible movement"
