Being Weary He Went in Somebody
Else's Home and Was Shot at.
ATLANTA.-Half Atlanta club
dom is laughing today over the es-
capade last night of young society
man who imbibed too freely and
found his way into the wrong fiat. 1t
came very near being a tragedy in
stead of a comedy, however.
The young clubman meandered at
midnight to an apartment on Cain
street which closely resembled his
own, found the front door unlocked,
went in, discovered an open room,
disrobed and went to sleep. Ten
minutes later the woman who occu-
pied the apartments arrived on the
scene and sent in a burglar alarm.
The young man, aroused by the ex-
element, left without awaiting o
dress. while the son-in-law of the
irate lady fred five shots at the club
man as he left the house.
The identity of the midnight Wis
itor was disclosed by a document left
in the pockets of the handsome over
coat and other garments, which are
being held until he calls for them.

DESCRIBES BELGTUM'S
PTTTABLE CONDITION

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Reports to
the Belgian legation of conditions
among inhabitants of the captured
country have prompted the Belgian
minister. Mr. Havenith, to redouble
his efforts to procure funds for relief
of his destitute people.
The minister received a letter from
a friend who described the condition
of the country from Antwerp to Os-
tend.
what can I say of Termonde?"
the letter said. 'In all that city there
are only thirty houses standing; Of
Aerschot nothing remains, and have
not seen the others, Louvain, Diest,
Malines, etc.
THAT which is most piteous is to
encounter on the highways one of
the endless columns of refugees, poor
old women carried in wheelbarrows;
bicycles with cushions attached on
which had been placed one and some
times two babies; carts containing
household goods; cattle, miserable,
hopeless procession of inhabitants
fleeing from villages that were being
bombarded or burned"

pledged to foreign service, are start
ed off at $1.65 a week, clear of ex-
penses. Married men are allowed in
addition separation pay for their
families at the rate of $40 a week
for the wife and two pence day-or
2S cents a week-for each child. In
the county of London they are given
further sum of 80 cents week,
owing to the higher cost of living.
All married soldiers serving abroad
are obliged to allot their families out
of their own pay. Worked out on
this scale the lowest sum a soldiers
wife, without children, can receive
is % shillings a week in the case Of
a warrant officer; % for a regiment
al quartermaster sergeant; 16 shill-
ings, six pence for corporal or pri-
vate. If the wife has four children
to support she will receive, on the
same scale, a sum ranging from "a
to AZ shillings.
Widows of those who die in active
service receive from ) to 10 shillings
week, according to the rank and
pay of the husband. But the mass of
them will not get over five shillings.
An extra allowance varying from 40
to so cents week for each child is
given, however.
Much suffering was caused by the
government deferring the payment
of separation allowance to soldiers
wives during the first two months of
the war. Not until October 1 was
this money put into the hands of the
destitute women. War office red
tape also held up pay allotments.

In these times of war talk and low
priced cotton it is refreshing indeed
to shake the hand of farmer who
holds his head up and tells you fiat
footed that the war is no scare for
him. Mr.. H. j. Rumsey says that he
began eight years ago to fortify HIM
self against this condition of affairs
and that he is fixed to live at home
for a year or two, war or no war.
Mr.. Rumsey owns and cultivates a
4O-acre farm four miles of Carnes-
Vile. He bought it eight years ago
and has lived on it ever since. When
Mr.. Rumsey purchased his farm he
adopted a plan of rotation which he
has adhered to ever since. This is
his plan: He sows one-third of his
land in wheat and oats and wheat in
the fall. He plants one-third in corn
and ten acres in cotton. This leaves
three or four acres which Mr.. Rum
sey plants in patches such as peas,
potatoes, etc.
This year Mr.. Rumsey followed
his usual rotation plan, with the ex-
ception that he allowed each one of
his four children an acre for a patch,
and they put their patches in cot
ton. This gives fourteen acres of
cotton on the 4O-acre farm this year,
which is cultivated with two mules
Mr. Rumsey has already gathered
II bales of cotton and has two more
open in the field and expects to get
still another bale later on. This
gives him and his family fourteen
bales of cotton this year from four
teen acres. He has enough old corn

Higher Federal Court Orders Referee
to Take Up Huff Case.
NEW ORLEANS.-It was an
nounced today that the decision of
Federal Judge Emory Speer of the
Southern district of Georgia in the
suit involving the property interests
of William A. Huff was reversed by
the federal circuit court of appeals
here yesterday. The higher court Or
dered that a referee should again
take up the case in so far as the chill
dren of Huff-Edison Huff and Mrs.
Matte J. C. Jennings-are con-
cerned.
The case has attracted more or less
attention owing to contempt proceed
ing against the elder Huff which
grew out of the litigation. He was
cited for contempt because he
charged that the case was being I'M
necessarily delayed and excessive
fees demanded and subsequent i'm
parchment proceedings against Judge
Speer.

MEDICINE CHEST LAY IN
CREEK TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS
Well Preserved and in Good COndi-

A medicine chest was recently
found in Little Shoal creek which
was lost there by DR.. Dobbins q
years ago. The chest was found by
Mr.. w. P. Walters while he was hunt
ing grapes along the banks of the
creek. The glass in the water at

cation found the long lost case which
had washed out of DR.. John Dobbins'
buggy 81 years ago when he was at
tempting to cross a swollen stream.
The glass and metal part of the
chest seemed to be in perfect condi-
ton. The leather part had rotted
away entirely. The bottle shoppers
seemed sound and the medicine in
the small bottles appeared to be in
perfect condition.-LavOnia Times.

MIL LADY HAS BARBER JUST LIKE
THE MEN, SAYS GEORGIA LAW
Bill Passed by the Last Legislature Apparently Makes
BARRIERS of All Hairdressers in Beauty Shops.

While the new law passed by the
last legislature, designed to regulate
the qualifications of BARRIERS and the
sanitary specifications for barbec
shops, goes into considerable detail
to explain just who, what and when
a barber is it is regarded among
state house officials as possible that
either the board of barber examiners,
which Governor Slaton appointed on
Thursday, the attorney general or
the court may yet have, so to speak,
some hair-splitting to do upon that
question,
The definition of a barber as set
forth in the act specifies, among 9TH
er things, that one who dresses the
hair of any person is a barber, and
there's the rub. Does not milady' S
hairdresser dress the hair of a per-
son? Ergo, is or is not milady's
hairdresser, in the keen eye of the
law, also milady's barber?
Here Is the Law.
Witness the words of the law:
ITO shave any living persons, or
trim the beard, or cut or dress the
hair of any such person for hire or
pay to the person performing such
services, or to any other person, shall
be construed as the occupation of
barbering."
Of further interests ''milady's bar
Der" would be the specification of
the law that an applicant for bar
ber's license must have served three
years under a barber, one of which
years must have been served under a

barber licensed according to the rules
and regulations of the interesting
law now under discussion.
The law also provides that within
ninety days after the passage of this
act BARRIERS wishing to qualify under
the act must file with the secretary
of the board of barber examiners
their names and addresses, and also
50 each. After that it will cost a
barber s. to get his license. If the
applicant be an apprentice an addi-
tional fee of so cents is also essen
tial
The ninety-day limit expires in
about a month.
The board appointed on Thursday
consists of R. E. Rollins of Atlanta,
to serve three years; w. w. Jones
of Clumbus, to serve two years; E. E.
Limbaugh of Atlanta, to serve one

Barber Board Named.
This board shall make provisions
regulating the experience and skill
of BARRIERS and for the sanitation OF
barber shops, subject to the approval
of the state board of health.
The members of the board receive

and, in addition, a mileage allowance
of ten cents per mile.
The board is authorized to hold

ANIMALS and BOOZE.
TABOOED BY PARCEL POST REG
ULATIONS OF GOVERNMENT.
Postmaster Cheatham Has Received
General Order on Subject From
Department at Washington.

Your Uncle Samuel is not so very
particular what you send through his
parcel post, but there are two varie-
ties which he absolutely will not toll
crate. No, girls, it is not hats. No
matter how large bonnet you might
want to have shipped you Uncle Sam
will carry it. But the two articles
which he has reminded postmasters
shall be on the prohibitive list are
whiskey, in fact booze of any sort,
and live animals.
Live animals mean chickens (of
the feathered sort), birds, cats, dogs,
or pets of any kind.
AS there seemed to be some misun-
derstanding on the part of some post
matters with regard to this ruling
Postmaster w. B. Cheatham has re-
ceived a general order from the post
office department. The notice is as
follows:
Reports are reaching the depart
ment that some postmasters are ac-
cepting for transmission through the
mails live chickens, birds, cats, dogs
and other live animals and pets in
violation of the postal laws and regu-
lations. Postmasters will carefully
read section No 472 of these regula-
lions and refuse to accept live fowls
or animals of any kind.
Intoxicating liquors or other arti-
cIes declared to be unavailable in sec
ton No. 472, Postal Laws and Regu-
lations, must not be accepted for
mailing, no matter how packed.
''Postmasters are expected to salts
fly themselves, by examination if nee
essary, that the packages accepted
for mailing at their offices do not
contain matter declared to be I'M
mailable by the Postal Laws and
Regulations"

BUENOS AYRES.-Planning to
lose themselves from civilization for
over two years a little party of six
men, led by Sir Ernest Shackleton,
discoverer of the South pole, are
about to set sail from here to explore
vast ice plateau which has never
been seen by man.
Lying in the Antarctic ocean, in a
rough oval shape about the pole, is a
great ice continent. On one shore,
near the Orkney islands, and 5000
miles from Buenos Ayres, is We'd

across the Antarctic continent, pass
ing near the pole, reaches King Ed
ward VII Land, on the open South
Pacific ocean about 10000 miles
south of New Zealand. This-a
march of $4,000 miles-will be the
route followed.
The expedition is equipped with

Shackleton's daily program con-
sists of a nineteen-hour march for
perhaps the whole five months.
Another expedition, starting from
