VICTIM OF CANCER

BERLIN, Feb. 10.-The reports that
the Crown Prince of Germany is really
suffering from cancer of the throat,
the disease which cut short the life of
his grandfather, the Emperor Freder-
ick, are gaining greater credence in
high circles. 1t is of course impos-
sible to get first hand information as
to the truth of these reports and the
inspired paragraphs which have APP
peared in the German papers that the
failure of his royal highness to he
with his wife recently when a son was
born to them was due to a violent at
tack of catarrh, must be accepted hut
in well informed circles it is accepted
with very. considerable allowance.
1t is pointed out that for some years
he has shown symptoms which are
characteristic of this curse of the
Hohenzollerns.
Like his great hero, Frederick the
Great, William II yearned for healthy
sons, and set out to harden" them be-
fore they could toddle. The crown
prince was emphatically not case for
that kind of treatment. A delicate
and nervous boy, he needed a certain
amount of "coddling" until he got into
his teens, and as there have not been
wanting people injudicious enough to
attribute his delicate health to the
kaiser's drastic methods, that is one
of the several grudges that he owes
his father The crown prince does his
own coddling now, for he is vindictive-
ly anxious to outlive the kaiser, but

1907 he had established regular wire

JOBS ARE POPLAR

PARIS, Feb lO.-The public service
is as popular in France as it is else
where, and the government has no
trouble in filling any vacancies which
may occur Proof of this is furnished
by the recent occurrence of 40 vacan-
cies in the office of tax collector.
When this fact became known a
food of applications began to come in.
There are now on file the names of not
less than 100000 patriotic Frenchmen
who are anxious to help the govern.
ment in the collection Of it's revenues.
The multitude of applications has
compelled the authorities to impose
the strictest possible conditions in the
examination of candidates, and there
is reason to hope that the 40 men who
viii get the vacant places may be held
up to the world as absolutely ideal
tax collectors.

Wife Refuses to Be Sold.
An amusing story has just come to
light from the village of Bunyevac,
near Szegedin. A small farmer, named
Naval, when attending the cattle mar
ket met an old friend, named Sinke.
They retired to a cafe, where they re-
manned talking for a long time As
time went on they became mellowed,
and their tongues were rendered less
discreet and Sinko in a burst Of con-
fidence intimated to Naval that he had
at one time sighed for the latters
wife, who was celebrated throughout
the region for her beauty
Naval thereupon said that if Sinko
had still the same affection for the
woman an arrangement could easily
be effected, all that was necessary was
for Sinko to make a reasonable offer
Sinko jumped at the chance, and Of
fered to give Naivi 1850 francs for his
wife, and the offer was at once ac-
cepted. An agreement was drawn up
and signed, and the two friends set out
for the farm for the completion of the
bargain. When they arrived it fell to
Naivi to inform his wife of the trans
action, and her response was imme-
date. After giving him a number of
vigorous boxes on the ear she seized
a broom and inflicted on him a casti-
cation so rapid and effective that
Sinko left hurriedly, renouncing for
ever his claim to the beautiful and ro-
bust Nine. NaiVi.

CHEROKEE MERCHANT
UNDER BIG BOND FOR
CAUSING MANS DEATH

CANTON. GA, Dec. 24-J. P. Bran
non, merchant in the southeast part of
Cherokee county, today is under $4,000
bond for appearance at the next term OF
superior court. He will answer the
charge of fatally wounding Roy Robbins,
of Milton county, in an alteration at his
store Saturday night. He died Sunday.
Brannon claims that Robbins went to his
store Saturday night in an intoxicated
condition and started the trouble that led
to his DEATH when he raised a row over
the price of buggy whip. Brannon de-
clares Robbins became so boisterous de-
offensive that he ordered him from the
store and upon his refusal to go started
to eject him. Robbins, he declares,
showed fight and in the clash that ensued
he hit Robbins over the head with the butt
of gun, infiicting the wounds that
caused death.
Brannon has heretofore borne an excel
lent reputation in this county and his
friends declare he will be acquitted when
his trial takes place.

1000 GRAIN SHIPPERS
LOSE SUITS AGAINST
Observation-Disclosures

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-An impor-
tant decision. setting a precedent for
about 1000 claims for a total repara-
ton of 100000, has just been handed
down by the interstate commerce COM
mission. Grain shippers were the losers.
The commission held that under re
cent direction of the supreme court of
the United States it could not award
damages to shippers of grain even if
railroads discriminate against them by
giving elevator allowances to their
competitors.
BY decision OF the supreme court Of
the United States, which the commits
sion followed, it is pointed out that a
railroad for competitive reasons may
grant an elevator allowance, although
no transportation service is rendered
by the shippers owning the elevators.
This is the first case that the inter-
state commerce commission has decided
since the supreme court rendered its
decision.
