LINK SUMTER AND TERRELL
A Senatorial Redistricting Plan Has
Bodied Up in the Legislative
Circles of the State.

A proposition to reapportion the
counties of the state is under discus
sion in Atlanta, and according to the
Atlanta Journal a tentative redis-
tricting plan has already been pre-
pared.
This plan proposes to make each
of the four big city counties-Ful-
ton, Chatham, Bib and Richmond
a separate senatorial district. An
effort will be made to have the legis-
lature at its present session submit
to the people a constitutional amend
ment providing for the redistricting
of the state The plan which is un-
der consideration would increase the
number of senatorial districts from
forty-four to fifty-nine.
Under it Terrell county would be
taken from the Eleventh district and
with Sumter would form the Thir-
teenth district. Calhoun would be
transferred from the Ninth to the
Eleventh district and linked with
Randolph and Clay.

Lodge No. 229, F. and A. M: Your
committee appointed to draft reso-
1ntfons on the death of Brother Jos.
T Raglan submit the following:
Death in any form gives us cause
n nause amid the busy scenes of life
and makes us sad when we realize
+bat life is at best but brief delight,
q SIN scarce frightening ere it sinks
at night. Our sadness is intensified
and our sorrows immeasurably in
creased when one of our associates, a
brother beloved, is claimed by death
and goes from us never to return.
Joseph T. Ragan was born in Ter
rell county, Georgia, March 8, 1858,
and continuously resided in this
county until the date of his death at
his home in Dawson June 18th, 1913.
He is survived by a devoted wife,
four splendid, manly sons and a
sweet little five-year-old daughter.
Brother Raglan was faithful and
Jealous member of this lodge, having
been raised to the sublime degree of
Master Mason on the first day of
December, 1902. He held a warm
place in the hearts of his brethren of
the Masonic fraternity, who attended
his funeral and performed the last
sad rites of this order a. his grave.
In view of the foregoing, there
fore, be it resolved:
First, that in the death of Brother
Raglan P. T. Schley lodge has been
deprived of one of it's most devoted
and exemplary members, and one
who enjoyed the sincere esteem of
his associates.
Second, that the community has
lost a useful and excellent citizen,
one who could always be found on
the side of right, and the Dawson
Methodist church has sustained the
loss of a faithful and devoted mem
Der
Third, that a page in our minute
book be dedicated to his memory,
having inscribed thereon the date of
bis birth and death and when raised
to the Master degree.
Fourth, that these resolutions be
recorded on our minutes, copy be
furnished the bereaved family of our
deceased brother and a copy be fur
nished to the Masonic Herald and

CANAL CONTROVERSY.
Last British Note Will Leave Tolls
Matter Unsettled.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Sir Edward
Grey's rejoinder to Secretary Knoxs
last note regarding the Panama canal
tolls question practically has been
completed and it's substance at least
is expected to reach Washington this
week.
1t is understood that this last note
by no means settles the controversy,
nor does it contain assurance of an
acceptance of the American PROPOSE
ton to exchange notifications of the
pending general arbitration treaty I'M
der the terms of which the issue
might be referred to the special COM
mission of six members proposed to
be created by that convention.
The rejoinder is, in fact said to be
a continuation of the British argu-
ment in support of the contention that
the shipping of all nations must be
on even terms in the Panama. The
means dismissed but rather elabor-
ated in this last communication.
The decision of the committee, it
is believed. will prevent action in the
senate at this session. No report will
be made and there will be no oppor
tunity for supporters of the Root
amendment to put in minority find
ing.
Some senators who voted to table
the proposal declared they did so be-
cause they believed the tolls question
was too important to be disposed of
in the short time available for debate
in the present congress.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-WHEAT-Although
wheat advanced today account of strained
relations between Russia and Austria, the

ed at 929sc to 927sc a gain of Ac to &c,
touched 927s@a3c and then declined to 921ac.
Statement that Russia was importing
wheat from Argentina helped bring about
a rally. The close was steady with May
11c net higher at 927sc.
CORN-Big receipts weakened corn. May
opened shade to 1sd4c higher at 52ssc
to 521ac and fell to SIC.
Export inquiry prevented much further
setback and later ran the market up. The
close was steady, &c net higher for May,

OATS-Oats followed corn. May, which
started a sixteenth to 1sc dearer at 34A@

and the committee appointed by Am
bassador Wilson began the work of
assembling the panic stricken women
and children at the embassy. Many
who hitherto had paid no heed to the
warning to leave the city now were
eager to embrace any measures which
meant their de1iverance from the
panic which has followed in the wake
of a weeks disorders.
1t was pointed out that the easiest
way to safety lay via Vera Cruz, only
a short distance by rail. Once arrived
at the port of the capital city, the
refugees would have full protection

ney by steamer to American SOIL One
American dreadnought, the Georgia,
already lies at anchor in Vera Cruz
harbor and two others, the Vermont
and Nebraska, are due tomorrow.
With the guns of these three sea mon
sters Ieveled toward the city, refugees
would have little to fear but, if neces-
sity should arise, the fugitives could
be taken aboard ship.
While preparations for flight of the
women and the younger members of
the American colony were going for
ward, the work of removing all for
eignerS from the danger zone was en-
tered upon in earnest.

TROUBLE IN TOXIC.
AS Much Opposition to New Cabinet
as to Old.

Toxic, Feb. 1.-THE new Japanese
cabinet under the premiership of
Count Yama Motto is meeting with
great opposition from the old consti-
tutional party. At meeting today the
old constitutionalists resolved not to
support the government unless all
the members of the cabinet adhered to
the party. In consequence of this ac-
ton the position of Count Yama Motto
has become about as untenable as that
of eX-Premier Tara Katsura.
1t is considered in leading political
circles unlikely that Premier Yama
Motto will yield to the pressure brought
to bear by the old constituencies.
1t is believed probable that he will re-
port to the emperor his inability to
transact both while the diet remains
in session.
