An Albany man was in our es-
ton few days aeo hunting meat
hogs. He did not say word aboat
wanting any cotton. Farmers here
abouts are long Oh cotton but short
on hogs, but it win not4be the case
a year from now.
Keep a stiff upper lip6oys, the
big led SOW will gel you out Of the
hole. Your correspondent is o great
advocate If the Duroc-Jersey breed.
They are hardy and prolific.
On theroad to Leesburg the 9TH
er day ! did not see a pillow prepar-
ing land for small grain.
Mr.. Carter has bought SO acres Of
land adjoining the English's farm
and Mr.. Virgins has bought farm
and home where the school is now
located
The Albany Heraldis booming up
the negro fairto beat the band. Why
not do like Lee county boom up a
white folk fair. The colored broth
er seems 70 be the whole cheese with
the Albany people.
A real funny thing happened 1T
the fair Saturday was busy
pumping water for my old muleand
asked a boy to go to q store and
borrow dipper that | was 50 dry
/ could spit midaling cotton. 4
young man standing near said
Somebody ought to have coughed
up a middling Of meat at the fair
oiferad prize for one and it was
not there. We all smiled prohi-
ton smile.
Next Saturday our citizens will
meet the County Commissionersand
urge them to open up tile old Graves
mill road, and build a bridge across
Muckalee creek, or help our people
to.buiId it.
The Central Settlement got one
prize for best agricultural display,
and one Of our farmers would have
walked off with the chicken money
had he put in some pullets with his
fine r. /. Red Cockerels, bat he on :
lily carried them to the fair to sell
them.
If there was a iaan in the farm
settlement who voted on Tuesday,
/ have not heard Of it. The precint
lis over the creek at Red Bone and
our people are not all good swim-
mers and are too busy to ride -
miles to vote, and will be hanged if
we will vote for anybody for any
Office who opposes our road and
hridoe. Cine us the road and brid-
&C, Mr.. Commissioner.
The buy-a-bale fad has had no
more affect on the price Of cotton
than a big frost on a Lee county
mosqaito.
Well, say Wasn't the fair great?
| will venture to say that nine men
out Of ten were surprised. It was all
good except Che stock display and
could have been better if the farm-
ers had brought them IN. Mr.. Hooks
has a fine mule colt, and Mr.. New
some has a lot Of fine hogs, and one
Of my neighbors. has some fine Big
Bone Poland China and Tamworth
hogs. Next year there viii be an
organization and the fair will be a
Jeems dandy. Put that in your
pipe and smoke it. The display Of
handiwork by the ladies was grand,
You can always depend on the good
women to do their part and more
too. Heaven bless 'em, l love them
all you can't help it.

Colonel Goethals Repeats Re-
quest to Washington.
SILENT AS TO OFFENDER

Alleges One Of the BeIIigerents Is Vic
iating Neutrality. Through Misuse
Of Wireless and the Taking on Of
Supplies in Waters Of the United
States. r.. - T.
Washington, Dec. 15.-Colonel Goe
.thals, governor of the Panama cana
zone, has reiterated his request that
two torpedo boat destroyers be sent
to canal zone waters to prevent viola
ton Of neutrality through the misuse
OF wireless and the taking on Of sup
plies by belligerent vessels.
Because Of the confidential nature
Of Colonel Cocktails dispatch Score
tary Garrison declined to make It pub
lie. He issued this statement: Dr. u
1.-THE substance OF the dispatch Is
that, in Colonel eGoethars judgment
the misuse Of. radio communications
within canal waters, and the proven
ton of the misuse Of the waters as 2
base of supplies, require the presence
OF swift moving ships 3of the variety
mentioned. = ,e.r sT c:~i@ n'.-~,~~e.
:, "Since the questaons1nvolved require
the consideration Of the state depart.
ment and the navy department as we'll
rs my own I have taken the matter
up with the other departments and
y as soon as the requirements are ascer-
tanned fully proper action Will be TAX
en- to meet Them" ..~ - ,-,:., r....
! Offending Country Not Stated.
. Secretary Garrison declined to dis
cuss the situation in the canal zone,
or to indicate which Of the belligerents
was violating the neutrality of the
United States. -. ---~...-.. , ..
It is known, however, that the Aus
traifan collier Malina, which recently
left Balboa without clearance papers,
has been under close observation by
Panama canal officials. That ship, as
we'll as other GOLFERS, has been sus-
pected of supplying British ships in
Pacific waters. Alleged violations OF
canal zone shipping regulations have
been the basis of strong representa-
lions to the British minister at Pan
anna. ,~s ".
The Lamson, Worden, Terry, Per-
kins and Wake are in reserve at
Charleston, S. c., and one or more of
these vessels could be dispatched to
. canal waters almost instantly. On the
Pacific coast the nearest craft avail
able are the Whipple, Paul Jones, Per
ry, Preble and Truxton, all lying of
San Diego.

call il, "Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful Of the
tea, put q cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through q sieve and drink .

day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break cold and cure

Try it the next time you suffer from

and entirely vegetable, therefore safe

Is SAID TO BE uNlNjURED
German Cruiser Dresden Making for
~.. the High Seas.

Buenos Ayres.p Dec. 15.-The Ger
man consul at Punta. Arenas has re-
ported that the cruiser Dresden OF
Admiral Won Specs squadron had
passed that port, escaping the British
fleet uninjured.
The consul reported that the Ores
den had wirelessed to him brief &C
count of the engagement with the
British and stated that he was pro.
ceeding to the high seas. ..s,4t r.. -
In view of other reports that have
been received here the statement that
the Dresden is uninjured is not gen.
orally believed. 1t appears to be set
tied, however, that the cruiser report
ed aground Off the mouth of the Gal
3ejos river was not the Dresden.

THE ALLIES NUMBER
TWICE THE GERMANS
COLD WEATHER AND FLOODS
HAVE BADLY CRIPPLED THE
KAIsER's TROOPS.
ALLIED ARMIES ARE CONFIDENT

Fate of War Now Depends on Num-
Der of Reserves Armies Are Able
to Bring Up, and Germany Appears
Inferior In This Respect.
PARASITIC diminishing intensi-
ty of the German assaults in Elan
ders is due to some extent to the se-
we're weather conditions. The flooded
section is increasing in area as re-
suit of the continuance of heavy
rains and the country between Nieu-
port and Dixmude is swamp in
which guns and ammunition wagons,
abandoned by Germans, lie imbedded.
The Germans have been washed
out of the trenches in several places,
says an eye witness, who has just re-
turned from the front.
The fate of the war depends now,
says Col Feyler, a Swiss military
writer, essentially on the reserves
of men that the armies are able to
bring up, and in this respect, accord
ing to military opinion here, Ger
many appears to be in state of in
feriority. Not only does the Russian
offensive prevent Germany from
transferring men from the eastern to
the western front, they point out, but
troops that are now being instructed
in the interior will necessarily be
sent against the Russians.
