 vLl FNlNEN ART

New York, January 2S.-(Special.)- Bringing to this country of the Morgan collections will give hypodermick injec- ton of strychnine to art in America"
 This was the way Robert Henri, one of thef best known artists in the city, ex- pressed his opinion today of the effect of the transfer of the famous collection from London. This transfer will cost l. Pier pont Morgan several hundred thousand dollars, be an irreparable loss to the Vic toria-Albert museum, and enrich the sup ply of art objects in this country to the extent of many millions.
 It was announced today by Dr. Edward Robinson, director of the Metropolitan museum in this city, that the collection would be taken to that institution. This definitely determined the honor of having the treasures for exhibition purposes, which heretofore rumor had shifted among several art institutions of the country.
 "I have no doubt that the arrival here of the collection and the great chance it will give to artists for study, will prove potent stimulus to art and artists. trust that New York will appreciate the advantage of housing in it's midst such a collection" said Dr. Robinson.

MANY CHAUFFEURS
 ARE INCOMPETENT

Atlanta, January 2S.-Atlanta will make an effort to induce the legislature at It's session this summer to restore to cites at least a portion of their former right l., regulate automobile traffic.
 It is claimed that as result or the present state law many incompetent drlv- CTS are handling machines on the streets of Atlanta, and there is no way in which to hold them to strict accountability. The result Is numerous small accidents, and sometimes accidents of serious propor- tions which, it is believed, could be avoid ed if the city had the authority to eX- anime drivers and ascertain their com potency before they are permitted to drive machines on the citys streets.
 Alderman John s. Candler, mayor pro tem, although an automobilist himself, IS much interested in the matter, and be- lieves the city should have some right of control of the traffic. He will urge upon council the importance of asking the leg isature to amend the law so as to strengthen the authority of municipal governments in this direction.
 It is expected that some other important amendments will be proposed to the aSto- mobile law at the summer session.

 Hale would be proud to show her inc home raised horses, cows, mules, hogs, saeep, chickens, cotton, corn and various prize products.
 John T. Morgan, one of Hale's progress sive 'and prosperous farmers, who lives ahout l2 miles northeast of Greensboro, brought to town barrel of ribbon cane svrup Which found ready sale at 50 cents per gallon.
 MT. Morgan says that on one-eighth of an acre of land he made l54 gallons of molasses and saved 12o0 stalks of cane. His crop of cane and molasses totaled s92 from an eighth of an acre. The cost of producing, he said, was s5. He made also 12 bales of cotton, 250 bushels of corn and 50 bushels of sweet potatoes and saved 400 pounds of meat. He did all of this work with two mules.
 A genuine eagle, measuring seven feet and two inches from tip to tip, was caught in northeast Hale few days since by J. s. Duncan.

ALBERT WOLTER ID
 DIE THIS MORNING
Youth Who Murdered Sten- Ographer Faces Death
 Without Flinching

Ossining, N. r., January 2S-In his cell, next door to the death douse in Sing Sing prison, Albert Wolter, the youth who murdered and burned Ruth Wheeler in New York nearly two years ago, await ed tonight with a stolid nerve the final expiation of his crime by death before daylight tomorrow.
 The visit of Wolters aged parents, who came up from New York today, was af- fecting, but the doomed youth went through it without emotion. The mother collapsed in her sons arms when she met him and cried bitterly His parents were with him for more than an hour, and after they had left the youth said to the guards:
 Poor old mother, how sorry I feel for her and dad, too. don't mind going to the electric chair, but it is terrible on them. I will be glad when it's all over."
 The Rev. F. F. Buermeyer, who re- mained with the condemned man during the evening. said Wolter seemed recon oiled to his fate.
 The prison officials have been besieged by medical men and curious persons for a chance to witness the death of Wolter, but the witnesses will be restricted to the usual number of 15. as required by law.
 The crime for which Wolter pays the penalty was one which shocked the coun- try when the charred and dismembered body of Ruth Wheeler was found on fire escape outside of Wolter's East Side apartment. The girl. who was trying to help support widowed mother, went to the Wolter rooms in answer to his adver- tisement of "stenographers wanted" She was terribly mistreated and strangled to death. The date of the murder was March 24 1910 and speedy trial resulted in Wolter's conviction of murder in the first degree, and he was sentenced to die on June i, 1910. An appeal, which was never prosecuted and other delays held up the execution for nearly two years.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
 FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This offer should He a Warning to
 Every Man and Woman

The newspapers and medical jour nals recently have had much to say rel ative to a famous millionaire's offer or a million dollars for 8 new stomach.
 This great multi millionaire was too busy to worry about the condition Of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incurable.
 His misfortune~ serves as a warning to others.
 Every one who suffers with dyspep- sia for a few years will give every thing he owns for a new stomach.
 Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an abnormal state of the gastric juices. or by lack of tone in the walls of the stomach. The result is that the stom- ach loses it's power to digest food.
 We are now able to supply certain missing elements-to help to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, and to aid in making the stom- ach strong and we'll.

FARMERS COULD
 SAVE TWO BILLION
B.F. Y0akum Tells What Im- proved System of High
 ways Would Mean

That she farmers of the United States could save s2,OcOco a year by a sys- tenn providing more direct dealing with inc consumer is the assertion of B. [. Aoakum, chairman ot the Frisco Lines, iii an interview just made public. Mr. Noakum is a member of the executive committee of the American Association Tor Highway Improvement, and has been taking an active part in the work that the association has been doing toward bringing about a complete system of inl- proved pubic highways in the United States.
 The total business of the steel indus try said Mr. Yoakum, measured by the faetory value last year, was S5J0, ,000. .00e; the total oil business was $175,000,0O0; luIn- Ter, M, 200,e eO0W0; sugar, $350, 100000; and tobacco, Sl75,000,000. These are supposed to be the greatest business of the coua. try, and yet the same year the total value ct agriculture alone amounted to S9,0o1,- otb,000.
 Nine billion dollars is a lot of money. Ii is the ore great item of our national resource. In connection with this great wealth producing business, it is certainly conservative, figured from any stand point, to say that on the 5000 900, GOO farm value crop the producers should receive S-,00o,000,o o00 more money than they ate how receiving.
 "These se,oOO, ,000000 saved would mean 10 the farmers s2,00o 00O,OO0 saving on Il s9.000, ,000. O0 crop. The 5000 GOO GOO we could save by going more direct from the far iner to the consumer Nr r77ane aH
