they may have the hearty assistance.
in so far as they may need it, of
every Official and every property own
er here. 1t should be remembered
that they are here as employees of the
state, working under the state in
spector of orchards and nurseries.
Apart from the salary he draws from
the state neither of them has a dol

not harm. They are officers OF the
commonwealth working here, not by
permission only, but by direct orders
from their superiors. Brownsville

IMPORTS OF DAIRY
PRODUCTS SHOW DECREASE

Washington, ID. c. Oct. 3.-The i'm
ports OF dairy products into the Uni
ted States decreased in value approxi-
mately sS6,735 during the past year
according to data compiled by the
Federal Department Of Agriculture.
The total value of dairy pro-
ducts imported for the year ending
June 80, 1912, was $10.029,S53 as
compared with $40, 116,5SS for the
previous year. The recent increase
in the dairying industry of the South
west and especially Texas Is said to
be instrumental in bringing about
these conditions.

they are willing to pay for.
AS this work would all be done
under contract, to be paid for by
money arising from direct taxes on
the sale Of bonds, an effort should
be made, if it can be done within the
law, to provide an opportunity to any
one to pay his road tax in work. If pos
sible his road contracts should provide
that the contractor will use the labor
or teams Of tax payers in each dis
'trict. up TO the AMOUNT of their taxes,
at an agreed upon rate OF paymen'
for such labor, giving a binding re-
ceipt which will be accepted by the
tax collector and will be charged to
the contractor. This will without

SOLDIER STAYS
SELF IN ARNORY
Domestic Troubles Are Said to
Have Caused Griffin Militia
man to Commit Suicide.

GRIFFIN, GA, Oct Edgar II.
Gardner bugler of the Spalding Grays,
was given a-semi- military burial here
this afternoon by officers and members
of that company. Gardner, regular
army veteran and for year member
of the local militia command, commit
ted suicides yesterday afternoon in the
Griffin armory He shot himself through
the body with a Springfield army rifle,
He left these messages:
God bless the good people with
whom 1 spent the last happy hours Of
my life. The wages of sin is death.
May God comfort my dear mother
and forgive me. My fate is not the
common fate of all Avoid the curse Of
drink
About fifteen months ago Gardner
and his wife separated. She still lives
in Griffin and has the custody of their
little child. Brooding over this separa-
ton. his friends believe, was the chief
cause of the suicide. He is not known
to have been a drinking man within the
past year, but is said to have been
heavy drinker in the past He had been
in i'll health for a number of months.
Gardner for several years had been
imbued with the excitement of military
life and 1t was singularly significant
that he chose a military setting for his
death. He served an enlistment in the
regular army as member of the
Twenty eighth infantry, retiring in
1907 While in the army he saw serv-
Ice in Cuba and Hawaii. After his do
nestle troubles here last year he sought
solace in military life, enlisting last fall
in the Spalding Grays. He was car
penter by trade
Gardeners death was carefully plan
ned. He placed the rifle on a table in
the officers room of the armory and
with a small stick pulled the trigger.
One Of the messages he left was scrib-
bled on the stick. The other was found
in a memorandum book
