new TELEPHONE RULES.
Toll Calls Of Ten and Fifteen cents
Charged Whether Parties are
Secured or Not Messenger
Service Abolished on
Such Cases.

Under new regulation which has
recently been put into effect at the
Cambridge and other exchanges in
this county, all persons putting in
| 10 or Is cent calls are required to
| pay for such calls, whether or not
they get the persons with whom
| they desire to talk. For instance,
Mr.. A., in East New Market, de-
sires to talk with Mr. B., in Cam.
bridge, and puts in a call to that
effect, but when Mr.. BIS telephone
is answered he is notified that Mr..
3. is not in. Mr.. B. comes in and
is told that Mr.. A., in East New
Market, desires to talk with him,
but when he rings up Mr.. A. he
is charged with the call, notwith-
standing the fact that Mr.. A. has
already paid for such call.
Persons using the telephone will
notice that the telephone operators
are no longer permitted to accept
calls for individuals, but will reply
that tney Will give you the numDer,
which means you pay for the call,
whether or not you get your party.
This new regulation seems not
only unjust, but is also very cost
ly and annoying. To be found by
those who call from, out of town a
subscriber must eat, sleep and tran
sact all business within call of
the telephone, or els pay double or
more times the regular charge.
This matter should be carefully
looked into, as we'll as the action of
the telephone or else pay double or
ishing the messenger service on
10 or 15c. calls.
No doubt the means are within
the reach of the public to control
such matters, but if not now, our
legislators next year can be instruc
ted to introduce measures tending
not only to give relief locally, but
throughout the State. In the mean
time the matter should be carefully
investigated.

HER FEET AND LEGS BIGGER
At Least That Is What Paper De-
voted to the Textile Industry
Seems to Have Found Out.

BOSTON.-Outdoor sports and
athletic exercises have so developed
the American women of today that
she has bigger legs and feet than her
mothers and her aunts, according to
the American Wool and Cotton Re
porter of this city, the official organ
of the textile industries of the coun-
try.
AS convincing proof of the truth
of its assertion the trade paper AYERS
that the big hosiery mills in New
England have given orders for the
construction for new looms for the
production of hose in sizes larger
than have ever been placed on the
counter for milady's inspection, crit
icism and final purchase.
The new looms, the paper asserts,
are the result of quiet but urgent
tips" given to the textile mill off
Gals by the hosiery buyers.
1T is these buyers, too" adds the
paper, who, of all others, have the
best opportunity of noting the rapid
and marvellous progress being made
of late years toward the development
of the real ideal figure. This is the
natural result of our women resort
ing to every outdoor sport and ath-
| letic exercise which were so long en-
/ joyed by the other sex"
/ Corset manufacturers, it is said
have been similarly tipped off, by
the buyers in their line.

TO RESTORE GARDEN OF EDEN
NOW BARREN WASTE THREAD
ED WITH RUINS OF DIKES.
Turks VIII Spend $15O,OOO to Irri-
gate MesOpOtamia Lands Into
Agricultural Paradise.


Agricultural Paradise.
LONDON.-The plans for turning
the desert regions of Mesopotamia
into an agricultural paradise are be-
ing pushed by the Turkish govern
ment in spite of external troubles.
The irrigation scheme which origi-
mated in the brain of Sir William
Willcocks will involve the expendi-
tureof $3.50, 100000 before it is COM
plete. The dam which is to control
the flood waters of the River Euphra-
ties is under construction by Brit
ish company and the Turkish govern
ment is anxious to proceed with the
initial stages of the irrigation works.
Success of the plan will enable
enough grain TO be grown to affect
the cereal markets of the world. In
ancient times the whole OF the Eu-
pirates delta was irrigated and the
rank growth of grain excited the
wonder of Greek travellers. Accord
ing to Herodotus the land yielded
three hundredfold, and there is no
doubt that at the time of the Greek
historians visit the delta was the
chief granary of the world. II ira
dition can be relied upon its fertility
was of even greater antiquity, for it
was here that popular belief located
the Garden of Eden. 1t is a matter
of history, however, that from the
delta wheat, found here in it's wild
an uncultivated state, was taken and
gradually transplanted all over the
world.
The land which gave birth to the
worlds staff of life is barren waste.
1t is threaded with the ruins of the
great bikes and bitches built with
stupendous pains by the Chaldeans.
The ruins of the greatest of ancient
irrigation works was accomplished in
the eleventh century by the fore
bears of the Turks, who are now
seeking their restoration.

JOY RIDERS END TRIP IN JAIL
TWO NEGROES HELD FOR RECK-
LESS DRIVING OF AUTO.
Report That DIR. O. w. Statham Had
Been Mangled Proved Incorrect,
But He Had Narrow Escape.


But He Had Narrow Escape.
Two negroes who are brothers and
charged with reckless driving of a
big touring car as they rode from
Leesburg to Smithville Thursday af-
ternoon are in Jail at Leesburg.
Many wild reports were afioat rel
alive to an accident in which the
negroes figured, and for time it
was difficult 10 tell much about it.
1t was at first reported that DR.. O.,
w. Statham of Leesburg was serious
ly wounded by the two negro joy
riders. Later rumors were current
TO the effect that it was not DR.. Stat
ham of Leesburg, but Mr.. John Stat
ham of Adams who was the victim
of the accident, and that he was not
seriously but rather badly hurt.
The truth about the master was
finally made known by DR.. Statham
of Leesburg, who figured in the incl
dent, According to DR.. Statham's
account he was riding along on the
road just below Smithville with his
wife, in a buggy, and another buggy
was passing by him when the big
touring car with the negroes in it
shot between the two buggies at a
high rate of speed and barely missed
wrecking both buggies. DR.. Stat
ham called to the negroes to stop,
but they paid no attention to him.
He telephoned ahead to Americas
and secured their arrest there. AS
mater of fact, neither buggy was
damaged, nor was any occupant of
either buggy hurt beyond the fright
given.

AUGUSTA, Sept 2S.-Full mar
tial law prevailed here today as a
result of the feeling aroused when
national guardsmen last night shot
and killed three citizens and wound
ed one in connection with the strike
of the employees of the Augusta-Ai-
ken Railway and Electric Corpora
ton.
Five companies of militia are on
guard, the fifth company arriving
from Waynesboro last night. Col.
M. ]. O'Leary, the First Infantry S
commander, arrived in an automo-
bile and with Adjutant General w.
G. O'Bear will take charge of the
situation.
The additions of troops and Off
GERS to the force here were made by
the special order last night of Gov
ernor Brown, who declared the city
in q state of insurrection.
Not until early today did the city
become quiet.
Those Who Were Shot.
The shooting occurred when AL
fred Dorm and Robert Christie, not
employees of the car company, We're
killed when they attempted to cross
a dead line near the company's
power house. Ben F. Baker, who
was driving a team with Dorm, was
wounded. Both whipped up the
horses when ordered to halt Chris
tie was in an automobile and it is un-
known whether he heard the order
to halt.
The dead line" was established
about the power house when it was
learned that a mob of strike sympa-
thizers was preparing to start for
that vicinity, with the intention of
blowing it up with dynamite.
1t is reported that the strikers
have agreed to arbitrate and press
ure is being brought to bear upon
the company to bring about con-
ference looking to a settlement OF
differences.
Captains Henderson and Jowett,
in charge of the troops at the power
house, we're arrested and will be
courtmartialed, it is understood, to
prevent a review of the killings by
the civil courts.
Adjutant General O'Bear is main
tanning military rules, military pass
es being required to reach many
places.
Asks More Troops.
Immediately after his arrival Ad-
iutant General O'Bear wired Gov
ernor Brown that while the situation
was quiet Saturday morning condi-
lions were critical and asked for
more troops in addition to those
which came in this morning from
Waynesboro.
Adiutant General O'Bear was mott
fed a few hours later that troop
of cavalry from Savannah had been
ordered to proceed at once to Au-
gusta.
