SOUTH AFRICAN RAIL NAV STRIKE ASSUMES SERIOUS
 AND MENAClNG ATTITUDE.
10000 VOLUNTEERS ARE OUT
Veteran 5oer General Jaeobus H. De Larey Is in Command and Johan- nesburg Presents the Appearance of a 5eeaguered City.

Pretoria, South Africa, Jan. 10.- Not since the Boers laid down their arms to the Britons in 1902 has the Rand been so near war as 1t is to- night. Martial law will be declared at noon tomorrow. Many who pre- dicted failure for the strike have be- come so alarmed they are pleading for white unity as protection against the horrors of a native uprising.
 Johannesburg has the appearance of a beseiged city The calling out of the burghers has resulted in the gathering of 10000 of the old Free State bnrshers, under command of the veteran Boer general, Jacobus H. De Iarey
 The proposed mass meeting of tho trades federation has not been pro- hibted, but the martial law proca- nation probably means an attempt will be made to prevent demonstra- ton which might result in an even more tragic affray than that of July I last, when rioters were fired on by the troops
 The trades federation has asked a general strike and has ordered that ballot be taken by all the unions before Tuesday.
 The federation also has passed resolution condemning the govern ment for imprisoning strike leaders.
 Troopers, infantry and police are posted at strategic points along the reef. It is considered a grave ques- ton whether the burghers will fire on their fellow Boers, who compose the majority of the Rand railway belief.
 Secretary Bain of the Johannesburg trades federation. for whom a war rant has been issued, was at meet Ing in the trades hall tonight, sur rounded by a bodyguard of 1000. The police, realizing he could not be ar rested without bloodshed, decided to await more favorable opportunity.
 Nothing further has developed with regard to the native unrest at jagers- fontein, where in an outbreak today between whites and natives seven na- tive laborers were killed and thirty six wounded
 Henry Burton minister of railways, today said ali grievances of the rail way men except those relating to re- trenchment and the reinstatement of certain men are being considered.
 Strikers have formed police force of 400 to assist in the maintenance of order One of the first acts of the citizens committee was the closing of all saloons.

COTTON FUTURES LAW.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Legislation taxing dealings in cotton futures will be passed at the present session of congress, according to Representa- tive Lever of South Carolina, chair man of the house committee on agri- culture, The cotton futures tax sec tion was dropped from the tariff bill with the understanding that legisla- tion would be pressed in the regular session

 Results in Lynchne.

COFFEE BY MILLIONS.
Local Lunch Establishment Makes a
 Sig Record During 1913.

In a letter received from the Blanke coffee house in St. Louis, Footio & Antonio of the Hot Springs Confectionery, received a statement of their 1913 business in serving cof- fee that was not only big surprise to them, but will be to everyone.
 The letter quotes tine following: "Your business with Us during 1913 shows that you purchased 6.400 pounds of coffee, which means that you have served more than 100000 cups of coffee to patrons during the year"
 This is basing the number of cups to the pound at twenty-five, which is nominal The fact that the Hot Springs Confectionery does not retail coffee by the pound and that all they purchased was served to patrons of their lunch establishment, probably puts them easily in the lead of any similar concern in Arkansas in this respect.
