GEORGIA COUNTY IS UNDER MARTIAL LAW Fear Trouble With Negroes Following Beating of
 Preacher

Cumming, Ga, September 1.-Two companies of state troops were rushed here today and Forsyth county declared to be under martial law by Governor Brown to prevent impending trouble between the white and negro inhab . itants growing out of the severe beat ing administered to Grant Smith, negro preacher. on the public square because of alleged insulting remarks reflecting upon the women Of this place. The blacks had threatened to dynamite the town if any negroes were lynched, but after the troops arrived the situation became quiet and at late hour no actual clash was thought prob able.
 Two negroes were arrested today, charged with attempted assault upon white women Thursday night, five miles from this place. They were brought to prison here. There was no excitement until Smith expressed his opinion, whereupon crowd set upon him and beat him almost into fnsensi- bility, He was rescued by the officers and locked up in the vaults Of the courthouse.
 There were threats of lynching, fol- lowed by rumors from negro picnic and barbecue near town of plots for dynamiting the town in the event any negroes were lynched. Excitement spread and the town filled rapidly with white men from outlying districts and negroes from the barbecue. The offi- cials immediately appealed to Governor Brown, with the result that ono com pany from Gainesville and another from Marietta were rushed here In au- tomobiles, arriving shortly after noon.
 Ieaving 13 rnilitiamen on guard the two companies of state troops rushed here today to prevent rioting, left for Marietta, Ga. tonight They took with them Grant Smith, the negro preacher who was whipped, and five negroes ar rested as suspects in connection with the attempted assault cn white woIn- an Thursday One of the negroes Is re- ported to have confessed to the as- sault.

Among the many beautiful stories contained in holy writ, whose moral application are as true today as when first given to the people of this nun dane sphere, Is that of the prodigal son. Wherever civilization has spread the words. "I will arise and go to my Father" are known and scarcely a per son there Is who does not know the story of the young man who left his fathers mansion, and who in resolving to return made use of the words quoted above.
 But it is not every young man who leaves his home that has the oppor- tunity to engage in any "riotous liv- ing." for ordinarily the young man these days bucks up against It. to start with and it Is generally case of root, hog. or die"
 Saturday morning at the recorders court. over which presided Judge Hugo L. Black. there was arraigned dys- peptic looking young white man who rejoiced in the aristocratic name of Bill links. He was charged with doing business without license and he pleaded guilty to the charge.
 1t was learned from the evidence of the young man that he had lived in Florida but that about 0 year ago he decided that the land of ague and al- ligators was not suitable place for rising genius to carve his way to fame and fortune. So packing up his six by eight telescope grip with his two pair of extra socks, celluloid col lar and a home made shirt. he shook the dust of his native heath from his feet and started northward.
 Arriving at length in Cincinnati he looked around for the business men who were waiting for his arrival to make him general manager or presi- dent or something equally important, but he looked in vain. He finally land. ed job as dish washer in second- class hotel which took the starch, so to speak, out of his great expectations and he found that life in a large city was not what 1t was cracked up to be. However. from fellow dish wash CT he got an idea which rekindled his desire to rank as 8 millionaire and as the idea could be put into effect for few cents he got on.
 Everybody knows that immense for tunes have been made from soap and it was from soap that MT. links ex- pected to make his For 5 cents he bought a piece of white soap; this he cut into six pieces and carefully

 DOLLAR DIPLOMACY
State Department Attempt ing to Attract American
 Capital to Uruguay

Washington, September 7.-Officials of the state department have become proud of the characterization dollar diplomacy first applied in spirit of derision. Al- most daily they are pointing to some illustration of the value of misquotation domestically, as in "cnampagne con- spiraey."
 The department Is endeavoring to at tract American contracting firms and engineers to the great field of expoita- ton afforded by the decision of the Uruguayan government to spend ssO,ooO.OOO in eight years for the improvement Of the harbor of Montevideo and other for egn works.
 There is the keenest rivalry between Buenos Ayres and adjoining countries for supremacy in coastwise trade. and Mon teviedo has spent SIS Soo0,OO0 to improve it's port facilities. The improvements have not kept pace with the growth of ship ping according to the booklet Issued. Monteviedo carries more tonnage than any port on the western hemisphere, ex- cepting perhaps New York, though 1t is cnly half the size of Boston.
 The Argentine government is about to dig channel costing millions of dollars in the River Platte to enable Buenos Ayres to compete with the Uruguayan port.
 The state department failed to interest American firms in the competitive bid- ding for the Montevideo harbor improve ment works in 1909, when pamphlet was issued then, but now is making deter mined effort through dollar diplomacy to have American contractors of dredging and other harbor machinery respond when the new bids are called for.

NO FATTED CALF FOR HIM

wrapped each piece in oiled paper. In
 offering the microscopic pieces of soap for sale he alleged that 1t would clean
 anything under the sun, and that. ap
 piled to a razor strop, would actually put an edge on a razor. The latter statement was apt to catch him to whom shaving himself Is almost mur- der in second degree, and Bill made a few sales.
 But he soon found out that even peddling such an attractive article had it's drawbacks. for his sales rarely
 amounted to more than 30 cents a day and that at the expense of being chased 1 by dogs, bounded by the police and
 cussed out by the people generally for disturbing their siesta. So one day, after being chased about two miles by a couple of bridled bull pups. Bill decided he would arise and go to his father"
 He was on his way homo when he arrived in Birmingham and had just started to peddle his "wonder soap"
 when he was interrupted by a hard hearted policeman who, finding he had not had the proper interview with Mir Boggan locked him up in the city jail.
 and on Saturday morning he related
 his adventures to Judge Hugo L. 50 you desire to emulate the ex- dIlpl6 ol tHt piOdiBdl sOu anu Bo hOiHt
 to your father?" asked the judge. ''Yes. sir."
 'I suppose your father will kill tho fatted calf on your returnf"
 "I can't say that I think he will. You gee, my brother Joe left home some time before I did, and one day he come back le oking like a yard and half of
 bad weather: he walked up to whar dad was and said, Father. have como home to die"
 What did your father do?" He hauled off and handed Joe a clout on the side of the head, knocked him off his feet and said. Die, noth-
 ing; you have come home to get some-
 thing to eat and after giving Joe q good licking he took him out in the
 field and put him to work hoeing cot ton"
 What will happen to you when you get home?"
 "The same thing that happened to
 Joe, I reckon. only worse; but after
 my experiences for the last few months I am willing to chance 1t. Why, judge. there has been many a time since
 have been on the road that cornbread

 the city ordinances. I am inclined to let you go. If you promise to go home

Attacks Copper Company

Billings, Mont, September 7.-The Arnal- gamated Copper company was assailed by Colonel Roosevelt today in his campaign through Montana. He said he knew las. spring the company would do all that it could do to tdefeat him for the republican nomination and 1t would have benefited him none to come out here.
 You had no direct primary in this state," he said in his speech here, "and 1 knew perfectly well the Amalgamated Copper company would do me if it got the chance.
 When I can appeal to the people themselves do so. But when the appeal has to be made to politicians I know there is no use for me to make it. The only way I can beat the politicians is with club"

At Forsythe there were six whom he knew thirty years ago. MT.
