Ing people," said he. Never let US
forget that thru the Panama canal the
fleets Of both countries are to unite

Berlin. Germany, April 25.-Roman
Catholic clergymen are forbidden eth
er to own or ride in automobiles, ac-
cording to an edict published today in
the Rhenish Prussion bishopic Of
Trevis. The head of the diocese de-
clares that the use of automobiles
is inconsistent with the humility which
should adorn the clergy and further
more an automobile has frequently
been the cause Of financial embarrass-

remains and in many monuments Of
the early church. 1t is a Catholic
stronghold OF about $4,000 inhabitants.

lowing the information that the girl
with two women companions had been
located at Back Bay hotel
Miss Borden's father, Gail Borden.
arrived from New York today and went
at once to hotel, registering as ct.
Borden, Los Angeles" A few minutes
two detectives and 1t was intimated at
the hotel that they had gone for a con-
ference with the missing girl and her
friends.
It was stated that the supposed
whereabouts of the girl had been
made known thru private sources and
not by the detectives who were en-
gagged by Mr.. Borden q day or two
after the girl disappeared from sana-
torium at Pompton, N. j., last We'd
nesday. A member Of Mr.. Borden's
party said:
I'VE have learned that Miss Borden
Is not at the Vendome as first reports
had 1t, but we have reason to believe
that she Is in this vicinity.
5T- "Mr. borden has now gone out to
keep an appointment, the nature OF
which I can not disclose. He was ac-
companied by both Boston and New
York detectives. I expect that he will
return late this afternoon. More than
this l can not say at this time. Mr..
Borden is hopeful, and I believe he
has good reason to be, that he will
soon be in the company of his daugh-
ter.
"Mr. Borden intended to go to Bal
timore today to see his mother, who is
seriously i'll. His plans were changed
suddenly"
Claims Girl Has essn Found.

Mr.. Borden. announced this afternoon
that Miss Borden had been found.
Kyle said that Miss Borden was a
nervous wreck and was now in the
care of friends.
One Of the women who is alleged
to have been with the girl, he said, has
left the city.
Mr.. Borden. it was said by Kyle, had
that he might have contemplated. He
was in doubt whether he would return
to New York tonight or tomorrow.
New York. April 25.-The New York
police department today began search
for Romano Borden. the 17year- r-old
daughter Of Gail Borden, the million
aire milk dealer. MIR. Borden himself
asked the police to take up the case.
I,,t no ri, 0F
the young woman's whereabouts. Re-
ported yesterday to have returned to
the New Jersey sanatorium from which
she disappeared Thursday afternoon. it
now appears that the statement of her
return was one of sexpediency on the
part of the sanatoriu1r authorities, and
it is understood that neither Mr. Bor-
den, nor the family physician. nor Mr.,
Borden's lawyers have the slightest
idea where she is.
A girl answering her description
sailed from New York yesterday on the

SMALL FARMS IN THE SOUTH

From the beginnings Of the hu-
man raeem haverevolted against
the tilliag Of the soil, " saysthe New
Orleans Picayune. 1t appears that
farm labor wasinficted on mankind
as punishment for their primal
transgresslons of divine law, and
men win not till the soil for mere
wages if they can escape it.
These southern states Of ours
have always been strictly agrieul-
tural, and in the old times of big
plantations and slave labor there
was nel er any question of a food
supply. But the negroes, since they
become free citizens and are being
educated at the pnclic expense, flee
from the farms to the towns and
cities, and it is much to be doubted
if any negro who can read and write
ever sticks to the farm unless it be
his own any longer than it is posi-
bic for him to get away. Fortunate
" for the negroes, and fortunately
for the country, the geat plantations
in the south are being subdiyided
into small holdings, and not few
negroes have come to belandowners
and farmers. In fact, the subdivision
of the agricultural lands of the Uni
ted States into small farms, cul-
tiyated by their owners and owned
by those who actually pillow, plant
and reap the crops, is going to be
the salvation from threatened star
walton and from mob rule.
Throughout the southern or
former slave states, a steady sub
division of the great plantations in
to small holdings, which have been.
bought by whites and blacks, who
cultivate their small farms by their
own and such other labor as they
may be able to secure, is going on.
Everysuch negro landowner becomes
a steady and reliable element of the
population and producer. Under.
the old system Of great plantations,
each had its sugar mill or its cotton
gin, as the case might be. To-day
there are central sugar factories and

Surnter's Dat Crop.

Sumter county, it seems, is go
ing to produce this year the great
est oat crop ever been grown here,
if seasons are at all favorable. The
acreage recently planted here is the
largest ever, in the opinion of many
farmers while the condition Of the
crop at this time is said to be de-
sired. The planting season in Oct
ober and November was very favor
aele, and the mild winter and fire.
qutnt rains since that time has
started the crop off in the shape.
Mr.. W. B. Heys, who makes a
specialtyrof growing oats upon his
farm 3 miles east of Americas, said
recently that the crop conditions
were excellent, andthat great yield
would doubtless be made this spring.
Mr.. Heys makes about 60 bushels
per acre as an average cat crop.
Last year the oat crop of Sumter
was estimated at 200, 900 bushels
an enormous grain crop for one
county, but the acreage was large
and the yield excellent in proper
ton. This year even better results
are expected. -Americus Times
