DAUGHTER OF SHERIFF WEEDS
"MOONsHINER, WHO RETURNS
TO COMPLETE SENTENCE.
IS FoRaIv BY HER FATHER
clandestine lstiIer of Georgia Corr
Juice is sVck'ed by Cupid While
Awaiting TAaI for Violating the
Revenue Laws.

Dalton, Ga.-A real life romance OF
the kind rarely found has been con-
summated here by the runaway mar
Fiag@ of Tom Manley, a .'moonshiner"
serving a sentence in the Whitfield
county Jail, to Miss Lizzie Gilbert, the
daughter of Sheriff J. III. Gilbert.
Making "moonshine" whisky and, in
cidentally, eluding the United States
revenue officers involves no moral
turpitude in this part of Georgia. Be-
tween the makers of illicit whisky
and the agents of the government
who seek to break up this hillside in
dustry there has been ceaseless war
fare for 100 years. The capture and
imprisonment of "moonshiner" is
classified as the fortunes of war;
and public sympathy is likely to be
with the man who is caught.
Over in Murry county Tom Manley
made whisky in the mountains Of
He made it partly because he and his
kinfolk preferred their corn prepared
SO it could be taken out of bottle in
stead Of having it made into pones,
and partly because the Manleys had
been making their own liquor for one
generation after another, in defiance
of laws to the contrary, and young
Tom Manley believed, as did his an
cestors, that he had an inalienable
right to do anything he pleased with
his own corn.
With due precautions the revenue
officers crept up close to Manley's
primitive whisky factory and when he
turned to respond to friendly greet
ing he was looking into the barrels Of
repeating rifles.
Although federal prisoner, it was
decided there was no use of sending

NEW SOURCE OF RUBBER.

A new source of rubber is found
in Borneo, according to paper read
on the subject before the Academic
des Sciences by Professor Dybowski.
It comes from the milk Of plant
known as Dycra costulata, and, after
coagulating, the milk forms a white
germ known as jelutong. When
quite dried the matter is almost rs
hard as rosin, and it contains from
10 to 20 per cent rubber. 1t is said
to be superior to the best Congo rub
Der. A factory has been put in oper-
alton and is now running out con-
siderable amount.

officer Is involved in "unbecoming con.
duet" are not, apparently, disploas
ing to the writers Of the service papers
Major Ray, as "favorito" OF tho
powers that be, was not greatly popular
among the army officers, and the fact
that he was being investigated came as
pleasant bit of news, But, 10 and
behold, when the official papers in the
case came to the house of representa-
tives they were found to be minus
those referring to Major Ray and com
plete as regards number of
other officers, when the intention had
been to have the other officers cxslud-
ell from the report and only Major Ray
put into the published document. This
was rubbing it in and the Army and
Navy Register protests, saying:
''The members of the military per-
sonnet have n right to entertain the
hope that the investigation into tn s
remarkable state of affairs will pyo-
duee results which win be definite and
enduring There have been few, if
any, instances of such fragrant favorit-
ism as was manifested toward Major
Ray. 1t was the occasion of just com
plant that to him was granted leave
of absence, when other officers failed
to get, sometimes, that which was of
ordinary duration. There are, now,
other aspects of his case which invite
special attention, Some one is respon-
sible for this injection of politics into
army administration and it is time there
should be knowledge of the facts with
out prejudice or impartiality. 1t is an
affair which can not be dismissed pn the
theory that il is a play for party I'D
vantage. The Army should rejoice over
anything which pretends to stop just
what has been going on in the war

Those in congress who are back of any
movement to accomplish better CON
dition and which will drive politics
out of the Army and protect the mill
tary service from becoming the
weapon of politicians are entitled to
credit. It is not altogether fair to
think that they are prompted by sell
fish partisan motives at such time.

MINISTER PLEADS
FOR MORE SHIPS
MEMBERS OF AMERICAN FOREIGN
BOARD DELIVERS SERMON ON
ORIENTAL PROBLEMS.

TACOMA, July 17.-Including a plea
for more ships flying the American flag,
DIR. Arthur Smith, of the American for
eign board, yesterday morning address
ed the congregation at the First Presby-
terrain Church on Presbyterian missions.
'The most surprising thing to me is
the ignorance of world affairs shown
by the people, particularly those on
this Pacific Coast,'' said Doctor Smith.
In connection with the Panama Canal
they talk about docks and waterways to
catch the ships of the world. 1t is not
question of docks that is to bring
commerce to this coast. 1t is ques-
ton of the attitude of the American
nation to world trade.
"The question of ships is the thing
to be considered. Who ever heard or
nation becoming great in information
al commerce that carried all her trade
on the ocean in the ships of another
people7 1t is disgrace to the United
States that we have but six vessels on
the Pacific flying the American flag.
To Americans away from home it APP
pears that the people at home consider
our flag an emblem to place on a pole
in the dooryard, to run about and yell
hurFah.
People Must Study.
"The time is past when this condi-
tion can prevail and the nation make
the most of its opportunities. These
questions must be studied by the peo-
pie"
During the next six weeks Doctor
Smith viii on Sunday evenings at the
First Congregational Church discuss the
various phases of the problems present
ed to Americans in the development of
the Chinese empire. Through his long
service in the Chinese field Doctor
Smith has become an authority on orr.
entail matters The following are the
subjects of his addresses:
''The Importance of an interest in
International problems by twentieth
century Americans. Second: '"The
century of the American board of for
eign missions and its relation to the
