DR.. CHEATHAM To CONTINUE
As INSPECTOR OF DRUGS
Despite The Appointment Ct
DR.. Geo. Case

Americas druggists are interested IN
the announcement that DR.. T. A. Cheat
am, of Macon, will continue as state
drug inspector in the department cf
agriculture, in spite of the fact that
the stats heard of pharmacy has rec
commended DR.. Geo. Case, of Milledge-
vile, for the position.
For some time there has been con.
siderable doubt as to just how IA:
authority over the state drug inspector
was exercised by the state board Of
pharmacy.
At meeting held in Macon on July
"a last, the board elected DR.. Case 20
the position. So far as known, no
charges were made against DR.. Cheat
am, and, it is understood that he has
made a very efficient and satisfactory
official.
Commissioner Price having some
doubts as to the Interpretation of the
law, submitted the matter to Attorney
General Grice for an Interpretation. It
appears that the law PROVIDES that the
inspector can be removed only on def
mite charges, and, as stated, no charges
have ever been filed against DR.. Chea :
am by any one.
1t is further provided that in the
event of vacancy for any reason, the
commissioner is to fill the position
from among recommendations made
by the state board of pharmacy.

TIGER OPERATOR
SLAIN AND ROBBED

Dothan, Ala, Sept. 25.-Huddled un-
der the edge of his bed in house in
the northwestern part Of the city, the
body of John Barefeld, a negro, was
found early this morning. Foul bull 1t
holes from a 80 automatic revolver, al
open trunk in which still burned Il
lighted lantern and about 100 bottles
of whiskey piled out on the floor told
the silent story of the murder AMI
ribbery of a blind tiger operator. :.
Il don't know, boss, who shot John.
We heard shots over here about II
o'clock last night, and heard John hoI-
lering. Yes, sir, John run a tiger;
know'd dat, but he didn't ruiz It for
his self; he run it for a white man,
and dat man am right here on de
ground in dis crowd now" This is the
story of the murder and robbery, short
but pregnant with meaning, as told by
negro who lived in that vicinity.
Last night was not the first time
that Crippled john" as he was IA
miliarly called, had been robbed OF
his illegal earnings. According to th4
police, he had been robbed once be-
fore and threatened with death if he
told who had committed the deed.
The police, who are working on the
case, say that the records show that
John ordered his own whiskey in his
own name. There is a strong suspi-
cion that a white man backed him
financially, but So far there is not SUE
ficient evidence to establish this as
fact.
Coroner Duncan empanelled a jury
which returned a verdict of "deach
from the effects of gunshot wounds
by unknown parties" No arrests have
been made

ANNUAL PENDLETON
ROUND UP IS OPENED

PENDLETON, Ore, Sept. 25.-As-
tride a plunging range pony, Governor
Oswald West, followed by nearly 500
cowboys and cowgirls, and scores Ct
Indians, picturesque in war paint AM
aboriginal finery, all similarly mount
ed, rode into the mammoth arena here
today and the roundup held annual
ly by the city of Pendleton to depict
life on the frontier in bygone days,
was on.
Fifty thousand spectators crowded
the grand stands and gazed with
amazement at the feats of horseman-
ship. There was the rush of the re-
lay race, the dash of pony express,
the swish of the long lariat as it
whirles through the air and settles
over the horns of the wild Texas
steer, the struggle of the cowboy to
throw the steer barehanded in the
bulldogging contests and the BUCK
aroos fighting to keep their seats on
the backs of bucking bronchos.
The cowgirls, most of them not yet
out of their teens, rode the most VIC
ious horses, roped and hog-tied the
widest steers and bulldogged the
long-horns with as easy a grace as
the old time male range rider.
A feature of this years roundup
will be wild horse riding contest
between Mrs. Happy Jack" Hown,
and Lucille Mulhall, both claimants
of the girls world championship
broncho busting title. A side bet e
$1,000 has been posted for this evenr.

WAR BULLETINS.
ITALY READY FOR WAR
SAYS PROFESSOR RACCA

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-(Special.) =
DR.. Vittorie Racca, formerly professor
of economics in the University of Rome
and now professor of Italian language
and literature in New York University,
who arrived here on the Italian steam
er Caserta yesterday, today gave to
newspaper man his impression OF
the war situation:
Throughout Italy, Prof. Racca re-
ports tremendous activity; factories
work day and night; officers are pur-
chasing compaign horses and types OF
service swords and revolvers have
been chosen and supplied to the army
immigration has ceased, as the army
increased and all products that could
be used for maintaining soldiers must
remain in the country.
Throughout Italy the tension is
most severe. The various political
parties, answering the popular de-
mand, are now united upon the great
issue of anti-militarism. Every move
ment of the government is closely
watched, and at the first sign of &C
ton in favor of Germany or Austria
the people to man would rise in re-
volt.
The government, on the other
hand, is having it's hands full in
staving off the demands of Germany
and Austria. Prof Racca says that
after the declaration of war Italy was
offered Nice, Corsica, Tunis and other
spoils, provided she would asst Ger
many against the allies. But Austria's
refusal to give up the five Adriat:c
provinces, once the property of Italy,
was sufficient to preclude any desire
on the part of the Italian government
to intervene.

Has Beens Are Playing
Great Article OF Baseball

This has been great year for the
old timers as well as for the young
sters in the major leagues.
Have you noticed in the scores how
some of those fellows for whom we
were mourning and who, we thought,
were all done and ready to go back
to the blacksmith shop, are holding
their own? Just look them over and
see what the supposed dead ones"
are doing.
The latest attition to the ranks at
tracted attention to it, and it is sur
prising to see how the managers when
their new talent is blowing up,
when the phenoms of May and June
are beginning to waver and the pitca-
ers are discovering what they can and
what they cannot hit, send and get the
old boys back?
This latest is Bob Spade. Spade was
a grand old catcher with a bum club.
He was so good that the Chicago cluD
offered $4,000 in real money for him
and it was refused by Cincinnati,
Then his arm went wrong, and he
dropped out. 1t seemea Ae was done.
But a week or so ago Joe Tinker who
was in danger of losing the Federal
league pennant, because his pitching
staff was crippled, grabbed Spade. He
says his arm is restored, and if it is,
he is going to clip figures off those
batting averages like Rockefeller clips
coupons.
George Stallings looked all ever the
world for an outfelder, and when he
had tried most of them he seized upon
Josh Devore, who was cast adrift By
the Giants as done for. Chance saw
his mistake and rescued Birdie Cree
