GOVERNMENT CLAIMS ROAD HAS
VIOLATED LAW BIZ HAULING
IT'S OWN COAL AND SAVING
$1.O5 PER TON.

The Seaboard Air Line has been
indicted by the United States grand
! jury at Macon for an alleged viola
ton of the interstate commerce
laws.
It is charged that the Seaboard Air
Line conceived and executed plan
whereby it could obtain the transport
tation of coal from Oliver Springs
and Briceville, Tenn, at a rate less
than the regular published rate. The
government charges that this was
done as follows:
From the two Tennessee shipping
points to Helena the rate is $2.40 per
ton, and shipments are made over
the Southern railway. At Helena
the Southern connects with the Sea-
board, which goes to Williams, sta
ton Z miles this side of Savannah.
The rate from Tennessee to Williams
is $2.45, it being in another tariff
group from Helena. The Seaboard
ordering coal for its personal use
would have it consigned to Williams,
at the rate of $2.45 per ton. The
Southern would bring the coal as far
as Helena, and receive therefor, as its
proportionate share of the haul, the
sum of $1.36 per ton. The coal
would then be delivered to the Sea-
board for transportation over its own
line to Williams. However, the gov
eminent claims that the coal would
never reach Williams, but would be
distributed at Helena, Abbeville and
Americas. Thus the rate of 81. 40
per ton from Tennessee to Helena
was evaded, and the Seaboard was
enabled to get the coal shipped to it
for $1.36 per ton. This is in viola
ton of the interstate commerce laws,
according to the governments con-
tention, inasmuch as it enabled the
Seaboard to obtain rate less than
that which could have been obtain
ed by other corporation or person.
If the coal, shipped from Tennessee
and consigned to Williams at the
regular rate Of $245 per ton had
been delivered at Williams as the re-
suit of the Joint haul of the Southern
and the Seaboard the latter road
would necessarily have paid itself the
sum of $105 for its share Of the
transportation. BY accepting the
coal at Helena, where its line con-
nected with the Southern, ostensibly
for carrying the coal on to Williams,
it paid only $136 for the transpor-
tation of the commodity from Ten
nessee to Telfair county, whereas the
regular rate was $2.40 per ton. Had
| the coal been carried on to Williams
the Seaboard would have been privi-
legged to pay itself $1.05 per ton, its
proportionate share of the charge for
the haul, and the law would not have
| been violated.
That, as stated, is the - govern
ment's contention. The railroad
side of the case will be made known
at the trial, which will take place in
Macon next fall.

MAY BE ANOTHER COUNTY FAIR
Ladies of Library Association Have
Matter Under Consideration.

The ladies of the Library Associa-
ton are considering the matter of
holding a county fair in the fall con-
siderable sentiment in favor of the
enterprise having developed at a
meeting of the organization a few
days ago. 1t depends largely on
whether the court house can be Sc
cured, as there is not another build
ing in the city adequate to the needs
The fairs previously held in Daw-
son have greatly stimulated county
pride along industrial lines and pro-
noted the social spirit so much to
be desired, but have proven a
splendid source of revenue tor keen
ing up the public library, the support
of which depends almost entirely on
the efforts of the women.

THREE MARINES ARE KILLED
Lose Lives In Train Wreck While
Chasing Nicaraguan Raiders
Near Managua.

Washington, March 10.-Sergeant
Charles A. Norton, Corporal Theodore
D. Roberts and Private Ernest John
son of marine guards at Managua,
Nicaragua, were killed and Capt. Ed
ward A. Green and several other
marines were injured, but not seri-
ously, in a railroad collision between
Managua and Leon.
The accident occurred as the indi-
rect result Of the operations of a
band of lawless, drunken raiders who
entered the town Of Nagarote, routed
the police and looted the town. They
fed to the hills after cutting the
telegraph and telephone wires to
make sure that the American lega-
tons line of communication with the
American guard ship at Corinto was
interrupted.
After conference with Minister
Weitzel, Captain Green started down
the road yesterday morning on spe-
cial train. A fuel train leaving Maya
rote without orders and without flag
men collided with the special carrying
the marines when it was twelve miles
west OF Managua. In addition to the
casualties among the marines the
tlremen on the fuel train were killed
and two brakemen injured.

CASTRO PLOT Barred.
FORMER CUBAN OFFICER OF
FERED COMMAND EXPEDITION.
Cartridges and Rifles Recently Sold in
jacksonville, Fla, Believed to Be
Intended for Venezuela.

Havana, March 10.-Great interest
has been aroused here by the report
that Col Edmund j. Frederick, erst-
while chief of artillery under Gen.
Maxine Gomez, has been offered the
command of a Castro expedition to
Venezuela by Gen. Cipriano Castro.
Colonel Frederick admitted he was
approached by General Castro, but as
serted he emphatically declined.
A consignment of 10000 cartridges
and $4,000 rifles recently sold at Jack
sonvilIe, Fla, are believed to be in
tended for General Castro.
General Castro's trip to Cuba and
the presence of the steamship Bodo
are regarded as ruses to divert atten-
ton from the real activities of Vene-
zuela's enemies.
New York, March 10.-Asserting
that General Castro, deposed presi-
dent of Venezuela, is violating the neu-
trality laws by fomenting a revolution
in Venezuela, with Honduras base of
investigator for the committee on for
eign relations of the United States
senate. announced that the committee
would meet in New York within ten
days to examine score of witnesses
having not only knowledge of General
Castro's object, but of revolutionary
activity in other Latin-American re-
publics as well.
In this project they are assisted, Mr..
Barbrick says, by Juan Leets and DR..

1 know the duties Of the school
room are many and you may think
there is no time for these special items
of interest. It is with desire that
you shall be of the greatest possible
service to your community that call
attention to these things The child
becomes interested in things about
which he has some knowledge, and
feel that the patrons will become
more interested in their school when
they discover that the school is caus-
ing the boys and girls to become more
interested in the home. The patrons
will become more interested when
they see that the schools are educat
ing the boys and girls to love the
home and the farm instead of educat-
ing them away from the home and the
farm which they are glad to leave as
soon as they are old enough.
The work that I have outlined is
but the beginning of practical educa
ton. The teacher with a fertile
imagination will see the possibility
of carrying the work with the Bah
cock Tester to every COW in every herd
in the district. And then the work
is just half begun. One thing leads
to another and the teacher has opened
the discussion on feeds, balanced ra-
tions, care of animals, breeds. etc.,
etc.
The testing of seed corn may be en-
larged upon until the child has in
cluded in his study the essential
characteristics of high bred seed corn.
Do not let the magnitude Of the
work brighten you. Study, then
outline your plans. then execute
them. Remember You are the big
factor in the community. Our pos
sibilities are largely circumscribed by
our own limitations Let US make
good. l pledge you my hearty CO.
operation.

Robert Reynolds, Lancaster, Wis. !,
says: Il suffered from kindey com
plant for two years and my condition
became so bad that I had to give up
my work on the farm. Finally I pro-
cured Doan Kidney Pills at Hatch s
Drug Store and the contents of a
few boxes restored me to good health. ;"
After reading this generous and en-
couraging report from Mr.. Reynolds,
those who have the misfortune to
suffer, as he did. will naturally long
to get similar relief But to get the
same good as Mr.. Reynolds had, you
should get the same remedy. There
are of course, other kidney pills but
there are no other kidney pills the
same as Doan's That is why Lancas-

The weighing sheet for milk may
be placed on the black board or large
card board posted on the wall of thu
school room. preferably upon card
board. The record for Saturday and
Sunday is to be given to the teacher
the following Monday morning The
record is to be kept for thirty (30)
days and the milk tested each week.
The test may be made at any time !;
however, I suggest that you take
Friday morning or Friday afternoon.
The pupils bring samples of milk to
school. To make fair test the
sample should be taken from the
milk as soon as it comes from the
COW. i. q. before the cream has time
to rise. Each pupil is to make out
weighing sheet like the one erewith,
keeping the record of each COW for
30 days Each pupil who does the
work and sends me the record of work
done will receive 10 per cent credit in
the diploma examination in agri-
culture.
The teacher who brings this thing
to pass in her school and sends me
copy of the record she has kept will
likewise have 10 per cent added to
her standing in agriculture.
THE TESTING OF SEED CORN.
Some one has said that a farmer
loses four dollars when he plants an
ear of corn that does not grow. You
will find enclosed circular explain
ing the Rag Doll Seed Corn Tester,
which you may discuss with your
pupils. If the pupils prefer some,
other device for testing seed corn
there will be no objection. The
purpose of it all is to get the pupils
interested in testing the seed corn, not
guessing.
A PLAN TO TEST SEED FOR TEN
ACRES.
Boys will enjoy making shallow
box or 8 inches deep, large enough
to make test for 10 acres; that is IL
squares one way by ten across The
box should be about 56 by 40 inches.
Fill the box about half full of moist
dirt, sand or sawdust. Sawdust is
preferable because it is lighter and
can be handled IN the house. Press
it down we'll so that it will have a
smooth, even surface. Take a white
cloth about the size of the box, rule
it off checker board fashion, making
squares or 8 inches each way, num-
beriug, l, 2, 3, etc. Take a -four
sack. or make pad to fit the top of
the box, paddinf with an inch or
two of moist sa ust. Remove six
to ten kernels from each ear and
putting the kernels from each in the
corresponding square in the box Place
the box in warm place where it
will not chill. Keep the pad we'll
dampened and warm. and in abont six
days you can roll up the pad carefully
and you will find that your seed will
show its quality kernels which show
both sprouts and rootlets in healthy
condition are fit for planting; ears
from which the kernels show sprouts
only, or rootlets only, may or may
not grow, but it is best not to take
any chances with such ears Discard
all ears the kernels of which show
one or more dead kernels. All weak
and dead ears should be thrown into
the feed box and the test repeated
until you are sure you have enough
perfect ears to plant your acreage.
The pupil who submits to his
teacher evidence that 100 ears of corn
have been tested will receive a credit
of 10 per cent in the diploma examina-
tion in agriculture.
The following form of report is
to be sent to me by the student max
ing the test.
