EMPEROR SPEAKS AT
MEMORIAL SERVICE
Warns His People Not to
Forget the Faith of
Their Fathers

Berlin, February 9.-Declaring that the
Prussians were oppressed and disme,n-
bered folk" in 1906 as a consequence of
Gods Judgment because they had lost
faith in him. the German emperor. at a
memorial service at Berlin university to-
day. delivered a characteristic speech.
warning the present generation of Ger
mans not to forget the faith of their
fathers. The emperor emphasized his
words by pounding on the desk.
He asserted that the Germans of today
are inclined to believe only in tangible
things and to place difficulties in re-
ligions way. They should study history,
he said and see how the Prussians re-
gained their old faith and fought the
war of liberation. whose glorious result
was not mans work, but Gods work.
80" continued the emperor, I'VE have
in the history of the past certain proof
of Gods guidance that he was and still
is with u.s. And with this teaching Of
the past the whole German youth can
forge in its fire the tried shields OF faith
which must never be lacking in the ar
mory of Germans and Prussians.
with such weapons, looking neither
to the right nor to the left, We will go
our direct way, eyes uplfted and hearts
uplifted with trust in God. Then we can
all repeat the great chancellor's words
1--WE Germans fear God and nothing
else in the world.
A storm of applause followed the en-
perors speech, which was impromptu and
entirely unexpected,

LIBERAL ORDERS
FOR STEEL BARS
Greater Activity Is Evident
In Steel Building
Work

New York. February 9.-Carbuilders
placed liberal orders last week for steel
bars, plates and billets, but fewer orders
for iolling stock were placed. Contracts
are still pending for $4,000 to 60,000 cars.
orders for motive power continue unus-
ually large. Rail contracts were light,
only about $4,000 tons.
Greater activity was evident in steel
building work throughout the country.
Fabr'cating shops booked orders for about
80, 900 tons. The Pennsylvania Steel COM
pany is to furnish 1900 tons of steel for
elevated railway extensions in this city,
and bids on 1900 tons or steel for the
lsthmus of Panama Will go in next Sat-
urday.
1t is understood that the orders booked
by Steel corporation subsidiary companies
in January averaged about 10000 tons per
day, and that the shipments exceeded the
orders booked by about 1900 tons. Other
steel companies reported heavy specifica-
tons with large shipments, but smaller
volume of new business.
Although the productions of pig iron in
January established a new high record,
the output by the merchant furnaces
alone was less than In March and April
of 1910. New business is very light. Coke
again broke 25c to Soc per ton.

PLAINS HAS AUSTLING
new COTTON CONCERN
KinQ Cotton viii Receive At
tentiOn Of Experts

An up-to-date enterprise known as
the Plains Warehouse company has
entered the business field at Plains.
The new company has connections that
make it one of the strongest cotton
warehouses in the entire state.
The new company is headed by 0. A
Williams and B. w. Bacon, both Of
whom have had experience in every
phase of the cotton business. They
were for years connected with such
cotton merchants as S. Marshall, Bully
& Sons, the Espy Cotton Co., Geo. H.
McFadden & Co., and others, where
the most up-to-date methods are used
in their business.
These two experienced cotton mer-
chants will be directly in control OF
their business, They will bring their
experience into play and should make
a success of the business.
One thing that will appeal to those
interested in the sale of King Cotton
is the connections that this new con-
Germ has made with the outside cotto
market. They will receive hourly the
latest quotations and spot offers from
the eastern and European markets and
will know at any moment exactly what
the staple should bring.
The men behind the new business
announce that they are in the fell
to stay, and judging from the way they
have gone after business, they will
make a success of their stay.

POSITIVE PROOF
Should Convince The Greatest Skeptic
in Americas.
adVt.

Because it's the evidence of an
Americas citizen.
Testimony easily investigated.
The strongest endorsement of
merit.
The best proof. Read it:
w. A. Hardin, grocer, Elm Ave, and
Furlow St., Americus, Ca, says: 'I
was subject to attacks of kidney COM
plant and often was hardly able to
endure the acute pains in my back. II
my efforts to find relief, l was induc-
ed to try Doan's Kidney Pills. The
first few doses relieved me and l con-
tinued taking this remedy until the
trouble was removed. / always keep
a supply Of Doans Kidney Pills on
hand. l recommend them whenever
/ hear anyone complaining of kidney
trouble. | think as highly of them
now as when | publicly endorsed them
some time ago."
The above statement must carry
conviction to the mind of every read
err. Don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distincly for DOan's Kid
ney Pills, the same that Mr. Hardin
had--the remedy backed by home tes-
timonials. sos all stores. Foster-Mil-

SIATON THREATENS TO
VETO BILL FOR Home
Says Legislature Voted Too
Large a Sum

Atlanta, August 19.-That the legls-
1ature broke faith with Governor Sla-
ton when it passed the hayward girl
home bill with an appropriation OF
$4,000 instead of $4,000, is declared
bv leading members of the house and
senate who predict that the governor
will veto the measure.
Governor Slaton has said he cannot
tell what he will do until after he has
read the bill over carefully. If he does
veto it, it will be purely and solely on
financial grounds. Another measure
which some people expect the COVER
nor to veto is the bill providing an an
nual registration fee for automobiles
and the distribution of the fund among
the counties of the state according. to
rural route mileage. There is some
question as to the constitutionality o.
this latter measure.
