SOUTH IS SWEPT
BY HOG CHOLERA
Georgia Among States That Suf-
fered Heavily During First
Quarter of 1918.

WASHINGTON, April 14.--Hogs in
Southern States suffered great loss
from cholera during January. Febru
airy and March, according to the esti-
mates of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Georgia, Kentucky. Tennessee. Ala
bama, Mississippi. Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, North Carolina and Texas lost
many more hogs in the first three
months of 1918 than in the similar
quarter of 1872.
Losses Of swine were 11O.1 per 1 900.
compared with s92 the preceding
year. and $40, the average per 1000
of the past ten years. The loss of
1101 per 1000, if applied to the esti-
mated number and value of hogs on
January /, would indicate a total loss
of approximately 6,736,O0O head, val
ued at 1886 per head. or a total of
s66,417,0OO. Probably 90 per cent Of
this loss is due to hog cholera.
Missouri Leads List.
The States in which losses this year
were heaviest were: Missouri, 175 per
1000; Florida, 10; Georgia. 165;
Iowa, 100; Arkansas, 100: Mississippi.
1854; Indiana. $50; Illinois. 14O; Kan
sas. 100 and Nebraska. Alabama and
Louisiana. 10. Referring to the i'm
portant hog States there was a fall
ing off in the losses, as compared with
the preceding year. in Illinois of 20
per 1000, Kansas ~ and Oklahoma
81, but an Increase In Ohio Of 16 per
1000, Indiana 25. Iowa so. Missouri
10, Nebraska so, Georgia 49, Kentucky
20, Tennessee %, Alabama as. Mis-
sissippi 10, Louisiana 10, Arkansas 20.
North Carolina IA, Minnesota 25 and
Texas II, while in Wisconsin the loss
is the same as last year
The number Of breeding sows in the
United States on April l is estimated
TO be about 80 per cent Of the number
held year ago. and 90.5 per cent of
the number held two years ago.
Cattle Loss $64,78300o.
Losses Of cattle from disease during
the past year are estimated to be EOS
per 1000 head. which compares with
2l.6 similarly estimated for 1911. and
EOS. the ten-year average Of such
losses. Losses from exposure are estl-
mated to be III per ] 900, which cont
pares with 2l.5 similarly estimated
for 1911. and IFS, the ten-year aver
age of such losses. The total losses
per 1000. from both disease and ex-
posture, If applied to the estimated
number and value of cattle on Janu-
airy /, would indicate a loss Of about
l,s56,O0O at 1892 per head. a total Of
$64, $4,000
The losses OF farm horses and mules
from disease during the past year are
estimated TO be about 226 per / 600
which compares with 219 similarly
estimated year ago. If the esti-
mated loss of 22.6 per / 200 be applied
to the numbers and values of horses
and mules on farms January 1, II
would indicate total loss Of approx
mately $4,000 head, at $113.15 per
head, or a total OF $63.S17, 900.

BRUSSELS. April 14.-Belgian
workmen struck a mighty blow for
manhood suffrage to-day when the
national strike went into effect in a
number OF districts. In other quar-
tiers the date for the beginning Of the
strike was postponed until to-mor-
row.
While thousands of coal miners in
the province of Hainault went out at
midnight, the real force of the walk
out was not felt until the hour for
workmen to report for their Monday
labors.
The district hardest hit is the min
ing region around Baringa, where
more than 100000 miners are idle to-
day. The mining industry in the
great mining basin about Mons was
practically paralyzed Leaders of the
strike declared that by tomorrow
night $4,000 men will have Obeyed
the call.
mo violence" is the slogan OF the
Socialistic leaders.
Some manufacturing concerns were
forced to close because OF shortage OF
fuel
Enough men remained at work in
the mines around Charleroi to keep
the companies working so that the
mines would not be flooded. The
Client potteries are idle.
The strike has not been felt at
Antwerp so far. Most of the metal
workers throughout the kingdom LAID
down their tools About half the
hands remained at work in the linen
and cotton mills.
As a general rule, engineers and
firemen remained on duty wherever
necessary to prevent damage to plants
or property
Tram service in this city will come
TO a standstill tonight with the walk
out of the public service employees,
unless the Government is able to OPP
crate cars with soldiers and other
strikebreakers Violence was report
ed from Houdeng. Roeulex and Mig
nault, where strikers cut the telegraph
wires leading to Brussels.
Troops Are Distributed.
In spite of indications of a peaceful
strike, great bodies of soldiers were
distributed throughout the manufac-
turing and mining districts.
The situation is causing the great
est alarm to King Albert and his min
listers. II is likely before the end of
the week that the Government viii
open negotiations with the strike
leaders on the basis Of electoral re-
form.

ATLANTA SHRINERS
SEEK AID OF MOBILES
Hearst Newspapers Also Join in
Fight to Win 1914 Convention
for This City.

With the blare OF trumpets tenn
porarily hushed, Atlanta Shriners
continued to work quietly to-day for
the great Shrine convention in 1914.
They got into correspondence with
leading Mobiles who will assemble in
Dallas in May to win their support
for Atlanta, and are confident that
Shrine officialdom will be solidly De
hind this city's claims.
The Hearst newspapers in other
cities have begun their campaign in
behalf of Atlanta. Here is the open
ing gun in The New York American:
For the year 1914 Atlanta is
marshaling all her splendid forces
of persuasion and hospitality to
invite the Mystic Shrine to be its
guest Almost every Southerner
in social life knows and loves the
Mystic Shrine, and the 100000
Southerners in New York are
keenly interested i'm seeing the
next Imperial Council go to this
brilliant and beautiful capital of
Dixie
No city in all the South is so
well equipped I'm every element of
beauty and hospitality to enter
tain the Imperial Council as At
lanta. II is the center of enter
prise. the most beautiful city the
most generous city, the best
equipped in places and ways of
entertainment and one Of the
most convenient OF accress of any
city of the South or Of the coun-
try.
Travellers of commerce are ac-
custOmed to say that the city in
all the country that best con-
soles them for absence from New
York is Atlanta!
Perhaps the Imperial Council at
Dallas will take the same view
for 1914.

QUEER MOTIVE
FOR 1T TACK ON
KING ALFONSO
WouId-be Assassin of SPANS
Ruler Said to Have Sought to
Spite MOnarch's Wife.
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MADRID. April 14.-That Rafael
Sanchez Alegroe. the would-be regi-
eide who tried to assassinate King
Alfonso yesterday. was spurred to the
deed in order to spite his wife, was
the strange motive assigned for the
attempt to-day by the police.
The Madrid authorities stated that
they had found a letter on the person
of AIegroe addressed to Sonora Ale
groe in Barcelona, stating that the
outrage would not have been commit
ted if the woman had answered a de-
mand made upon her. The husband
had evidently sent for something,
money perhaps, which the wife had
refused to give.
Alegroe evidently had believed that
he would be successful in killing the
King and that his own life would i'm
mediately be sacrificed as result.
The latter was intended as a post
mortem statement.
Alegroe is held under close surveil .
lance. He has the appearance of a
clerk.
If it had not been for Alfonso's ac-
tivity the man probably would have
been killed by the soldiers who were
swearing i'm recruits at the time Of the
attempted ASA ssinatiou.
The King took an early ride in the
park to-day and was cheered by a
throng which had gathered to salute
him. The people show evidence OF
great joy that the King escaped UNI
wounded
Alegroe was rejected from the
Spanish military service because OF
nervous trouble.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

The inaugural address of President
Wilson, printed in full in this paper. has
one merit over addresses delivered upon
like occasions by former Presidents
!. is brevity. 1t is briet enough to be
read by all newspaper readers.
"What Mr.. Wilson says in this first
message to the people of America, J"
comments the Baltimore News of Tues
day. ''is not startlingly definite. For
the most part it bfeathes of reform. A
note of uplift pervades it. 1t is much
the sort of utterance we frequently get
from the pulpits of the country. In a
definite way it specifies the tariff as
chief of the iniquIties and crimes of a
benighted system and our wastefulness
as nation.
THE address does not make it clear
how these iniquties are to be overcome.
The outworking of reforms will natural
ly be development, and in the absence
of positive. clear-cut knowledge of
how they can be effected, the indefinite
treatment of the subjects is commend
able in our new executive.
''Save for Its brevity, however, there
is nothing striking about the message.
1t says nothing to give courage and con-
fidence to industry and finance. 1t lays
down no lines for constructive states
manship. 1t has no note ringing with
the dominance of genuine leadership.
ION the other hand, the message is
not seriously disturbing. What Mr..
Wilson says concerning the tariff he has
said before. 1t does not foreshadow
more drastic legislation against it than
we had a right to expect when he was
elected President.
THE message does not reveal what

r II his teaching is correct ne is the
greatest blessing the church has had,
his work is the most important of any
man that ever lived or he is one of the
most gigantic frauds that has ever been
inflicted on the church or that curses
the world.
Paul, in Tim. 3:13 gives good pho
tograph of this modern Elijah. while 2
Pet. 2:l gives the character of his teach
ing. One of the leading papers of the
United States said last week that Rus
sell might appropriately sing: II am
Something of Liar Myself"
Last fall his press bureau sent out
through his boiler press what claimed to
be quotation from Great Britain's
foremost family paper" stating that
Pastor Russell had been ''inducted to
the charge of the London Tabernacle,
known everywhere as Surgeons.
His church in Brooklyn is not Tai
IMAGES though he would evidently lead
the uniformed to think so. He "is
willing to print, in uniformed rural
regions at least, the black and white
falsehood of claim that he has preach
ed in Sturgeon s old pulpit.
He tried to get exemption from taxes
on the ground that his schemes are phil
anthropic and religious. Yet he sold
$500, 600 of Watch Tower stock, bought
cemetery at big cost. Yes, and this
miracle wheat company. of which it
seems he held all the shares but two,
which sold its wheat at $50 per bushel.
Why 60 further. His life has not been
what religious teachers should be.
One of the greatest Bible teachers of
our time says that Russell's teaching is
"a mixture of Unitarlanism, Universal
ism, Second Probation and the Sweden
borgian method of exegesis, and doing
infinite dishonor to the Son of God"
etc; and he adds, perhaps among all
the books of the English speaking world
there is not another which contains as
many errors as Millennial Dawn"
This testimony is corroborated by the
best Bible scholars of the age. There
is another ism which enters largely into
his system and that is Egohsm.
At another time we will compare his
teaching with the teaching of the Bible
on the cardinal doctrines of Christianity,
and YOU can be the judges of the char
acter of his instructions.
AS have used more space than ex-
pected, close now.
