Will LAW BE
AMENDED TO
PROTECT Fish?
NO SECTION OF STATE LAWS
Covers Slaughter of Fish By
Acid in Stream

1t has been disclosed here that there
is no law covering the case of the
slaughter Of fish by the acid discharged
into Muckalee creek from the Interna-
tional Agricultural Corporation plant.
1t seems that the law provides only
abainst the placing of such acids into
the stream through malicious intent,
while the case here is not considered
that at all. The object here is merely
to get rid of an Objectionable by-prod-
uct by means of the waterway avail
able.
This view of the matter has been
made clear by the visit of State Game
and Fish Commissioner Mercer, who
merely corroborated the explanation
of the cause of the death of the fish
which had been previously given by
County Game Warden McMath. This
circumstance shows the existence of a
defect in the law, which should be
changed.
In order to give fish the protection
thev need in suoh amarpenoieS If
seems that the law governing cases
such as the one here disclosed must be
amended. State Game and Fish Com
nissioner Mercer will endeayor to
bring this about, as he feels that tn1s
protection is vitality needed now, and
that the need for it will grow even
greater as Industrial plants through
out the country increase.

WIFE RESENIS
WHIPPING and
KILLS HUSBAND
DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN TAMPA
Wife Stays Husband and Takes
Own Life

Tampa, Fla, July 26.-First tying
him securely in bed as he lay asleep,
Mrs. Avelina Rodriguez, a comely
young Cuban woman, shot her hus
band to death at their home in the
eastern part of the city this morn
ing.
When she saw his life had gone
she cut the bonds from his body, AMI
stretching herself beside him, fired
the remaining shot from the pistol
into her own heart, and was dead
when neighbors rushed into the house.
The pair lay side by side and the
slender ropes which still partly held
Rodriguez's body to the bed and the
pistol grasped in Mrs. Rodriguez's IS
hand told the story.
She did not leave any note to ex-
plain her deed, but the police and the
neighbors were able to piece out the
story, which was one of abuse AMI
knavery on the part of Rodriguez, who
last night gave her the final beating OF
a series covering their year of MAJ"
ried life.
The woman shot her husband four
times. One ball went through his
brain and the other three entered
vital portions of the body.
Last week the woman had Rod
riguez arrested on a charge of steal
ing money from her. Yesterday she
secured his release on bond. Last
night he beat her and this mornings
double tragedy was the sequel.

MACON WILL LOSE
MARSHALS OFFICE
Albany to Be Headquarters of Joseph
s. Davis.

Albany, Ca, July 26.-One of the re-
suits of the appointment Of Mr..
Joseph S. Davis, of Albany, to be
United States marshal of the South
ern district of Georgia, will be the
removal of the marshals office to this
place from Macon. Marshal White
has made his home in Macon, but M :.
Davis will continue to reside in Albany
and make his headquarters here.
Commodious quarters are provided for
the marshal in the Albany government
building, but these have only been
used heretofore during the sessions Of
the United States court.
Mr.. Davis is being besieged by those
desiring to serve as deputy marsha's
and in other capacities. 1t is said
there are something like six applica-
tions for every position and many dis,
appointments are therefore inevitable
The new marshal will enter upon
the discharge Of his duties as soon
as his commission arrives from Wash
ington, which will probably be before
Monday, the senate having confirmed
Mr.. Davis appointment Tuesday.

WILSON TELLS
OF CONDITIONS
NOW EXISTING
is OPPOSED TO MEDIATION
Minister to Mexico is Al
Washington

Washington, D c., July 26. - AM
bassador Henry Lane Wilson, ON his
arrival here for conferences on the
Mexican situation with President Will
son and Secretary Bryan announced
he had prepared a memorandum suy-
costing the policy the American gov
ernment should pursue.
While declining to divulge it's ma
ture until he had submitted his views
to the president and Mr.. Bryan, the
ambassador characterized as imprac-
ticable proposals for mediation by an
American commission.
Ambassador Wilson will return to
Mexico City by the steamer sailing
Thursday from New York. AS to his
conference with the officials here, he
understood, that he merely was to
transmit information on the situation.
The ambassador said he had every
disposition to carry out the wishes of
the president and Secretary Bryan.
Mediation, however, he looked upon as
impossible because the Mexican fed
eral government would not entertain
such proposition.
81 regard mediation" he added, "as
yenturing on dangerous seas"
MIR. Wilson was vehement in his
criticism of the constitutionalists and
the Madero family.
'The Madero family have maintained
a paid bureau in Washington poison
the public mind AS to the rebels there
really are none except in Sonora,
where there is an organized govern
ment. Elsewhere there are bandits. >"
The ambassador was asked about
Coahuila, where Governor Carranza is
in charge of the constitutionalists'
cause.
There are bandits in Coahuila,
too,' he answered. II don't mean to
say that Carranza is a bandit, but In
order to keep his men together he has
to allow them to loot and they thers-
fore become bandits"
Mr.. Wilson suggested that hardy
any one in Washington really UNDER
stood the Mexican situation and the
characteristics Of Latin people.

FIRST BALE
SHOULD soon
Be MARKETED
IF WEATHER is FAVORABLE
Record Of First Bale for Past
-Four Years

That the period of prosperity that
comes with the new cotton season IS
nAar at hand is evidenced in the rapid
onening of cotton on plantations IN
ceverat localities in Sumter, and the
coming of the first new bales Will not
he DELAYED long, if the rains cease and
. period of sunshine follows for
fine Cotton of the first planting is
showing white in several fields in
Sumter. and the first bale, it is ex-
pected, will be marketed before Au-
gust, 18th. The first bale of last
wears crop was marketed here Au-
gust Sd.
The warehouse records for several
wears back show the first bales in July
and August, and to Mr.. Albert For
rest, whose farm is five miles out on
the Leslie road, is due credit for hav-
ing marketed the first bale in Amer
Gus for three successive seasons. The
dates are as follows:
Crop of 1912-First bale marketed
August Sd, by Mr.. Forrest who also
brought the second bale, Aug. 14th.
Crop of 1911-First bale marketed
by MIR. Forrest, July 2Sth.
Crop of 1910-First bale marketed
by Mr.. Forrest, August Goth.
Crop of 1909-First bale marketed
by Mr.. Cliff C. Clay and Mr.. Forrest,
July 26th, the Clay bale being the first
: ITO reach the warehouse.
The arrival of the first bale of the
new crop is always a subject of in
terest in local circles, and the pro-
ducer, aside from the honor thus at
tained, receives a premium price foT
his bale There is much speculation
already in warehouse circles as to who
will market the first bale of 1918.

TRAINS CRASH
ON SOUTHERN;
MANY INJURED
MISPLACED SWITCH CAUSE
Fast Trains in Collision Near
Macon

Macon, Ca, July 26.-A head-on coll
lisicn between two fast passenger
trains on the Southern railway at Ho,-
ton early this morning resulted in tha
instant death of Will Jackson, a negro
porter, the serious injury to Engineer
Jennings and Fireman Will Jones, oe
the southbound train; Engineer Ed
Liddell, of the northbounG train, AMI
K. G. Shackelford, of Mount Erie, O,
passenger
Some of the passengers on boeA
trains were shaken up, but none wera
seriously hurt.
The two monster engines ploughed
into each other and both the enorm-
GUS machines were badly damaged.
The wreck was caused by the porter.
Will Jackson, throwing the switch az
Holton wrong.
Train No. 13, northbound, left Ma
con on time and had orders to meet
southbound train No. "a which was
several hours late, at Holton. Tho
northbound train took the siding at
Holton and went to the north end of
the switch. viii Jackson, the portsr
was at the switch and was supposed
to turn the switch after the south
bound train passed so that the north
bound train could go into the main
line.
He evidently lost his head as he
saw the fast flying southbound pas
senger approaching and when the
train was within hundred feet of
the switch he changed the switch,
sending the heavy train crashing
into No. 13, which was standing on the
siding. Jackson was mangled beyond
recognition, being caught between the
two engines and crushed lifeless.
The passengers were thrown from
their berths in the sleepers whils
those in the day coaches were con-
siderably Jared. Flying debris from
the crash flew in every direction. En-
gineer Jennings suffered a badly
sprained back and Fireman Will .
Jones a broken rib Engineer Ed Lid
dell was also injured about the back.
E. G. Shackleford, a passenger, was
also badly hurt.
None of the cars left the track, an1
as the accident was on the siding the
main line was not blocked The wreck
was cleared up in few hours. Train
No. "a, southbound, reached Macon
at o'clock, while the northbound
train was carried on into Atlanta
The injured employees and passengers
were also taken to Atlanta.
