some Of the things that are known about
this solar motion. First suspected by the
great astronomer Herschel, it was demon
strated seventy years ago by the Rus
sian Strave that this movement carries
the sun and It's system through space
with inconcelvable velocity In the direc-
ton Of the constellation Hercules. Later
Nader OF Dorpst announced that the sun
was moving around central orb, In a
period OF 10000 years. but modern
astronomers find no evidence that the
sun is ceyiating from a straight line.
Among authorities there has been con-
siderable range as to the exact point
toward which the sun is flying. but IL
viii be found that they nearly all agree
that the general direction is toward the
constellation Of Hercules, near the point
first assigned by Herschel and ssruye.

now planted In southern and southeastern

export in the Union Of South Africa,
where the product is known as ''mealies.'
In Mexico the tortilla, prepared from the

Canada and Cuba raise corn, and it is
grown in a small way In Australia and

year. for instance. there was a great de

product of the four leading countries was
more than 100000 bushels less than
the crop of 1910. and 100000 bushels
short of the returns for 1868. Tho yield
in 1911 in the United States was about

 It was the first full rehearsal of the Japanese and Garland girls, and they caught the hang of the thing not right off the bat but right off the toe. The

ONLY BURGLARY

Atlanta, March 6.-tSpecial )-Possibly it is because some people think the pro- hibition law cannot be enforced-one can didate having gone so far last year as to make open assertion 10 that effect-that lawabiding people feel that if there is any case in which the governor should go slow when it comes to executive elem ency it is one involving the unlawful sale of liquors.
 illustrative of this fact an amusing story is told of an incident which oc- cured while John NJ. Slaton, president of the state senate, was serving as gov ernor, just preceding the election of Gov ernor Brown.
 A well known minister of the gospel called on Governor Saton to plead ths cause of a young man who had been con Sicted of criminal offense and was serv- ing term in the chaingang.
 This young man is d mere boy" plead- cd the reverend doctor. This was his first offense; he was never in court De- fore. He comes of most excellent parents, and his poor father and mother are cry ing their hearts out over the waywardness of their son. They have talked With the boy and they are satisfied now that II you will pardon him. they can take hold of him and make a man of him. l ap- peal to you in their behalf and urge that yea restore him to his family
 But you haven't told me what thlS young man was convicted of" said Gov ernor Slaton. was it violation of the prohibition law"
 "Oh. no, not that" quickly replied the minister, holding up his hands as II III horror at the thought. mot that; he only committed burglary!

is in another part of the state on tour of inspection, Mai l.. s. Dorrence accom- panied the inspecting officer. Yesterday afternoon mounted drill was had, the boys going through their evoutions ike veterans The equipment was rigidly in- spected and was found to be in first-class
 condition. The inspection of the men was held last night and again the battery scored a high percentage.
 The officers of the local battery are Capt Ed l.. Anderson, First Lieutenants Frank Flynn and Ali Luckie, Second Lieutenant J. E. Russell
 Lieutenant King had nothing but praise
 for the splendid showing made by the artilerymen, but was much dissatisfied
 with the quarters of the battery. He said that the store room for the field equipment was entirely inadequate, and that they were the poorest quarters of any battery in the southern states. lie said that the battery was equipped with about $S0,0G0 worth of government prop erty and the government would not stand for such valuable equipment being so badly quartered and suggested that un- less better accommodations were pro vided it might mean the disbandment of the local battery
 Tomorrow Lieutenant King will inspect the signal corps, after which he and Major Dorrence will go to Montgomery to ln- spect the field artillery at that point.

HOLD INSTRUCTION
 CAMP AT ANNISTON
Heretofore Camps Have Been Held at Chickamauga-Park Will
 Last One Month

Montgomery March 26-(Special.)-A joint camp of instruction for the members of the Alabama National Guard will be held at Anniston from July to August j., according to information just received by Adjt Gen. Joseph B. Scully from the commanding general of the eastern di7i- sion, stationed at Governors Island. The camp will be divided into three periods, as follows:
 First period, July to 15; second period, July 16 to 9, and third period, July 25 to August D.
 For the last few years these joint camps have been held at Chickamauga Park, Ga. and the adjutant general is immense ly gratified that it has been decided to hold the. camp this year in Alabama. Sev- eral thousand regular troops will be Gta- toned in Anniston during the period of instruction.
