They would be dealt with; the
world is wide ana men who would
not keep peace in Mexico might be

a difference between justice and ven

played, but there must be no weak
ness in dealing with those who per-

Some doubtless would try the old
fashion OF revolt when they did not
get what they thought they could
command, but the fate OF those would
deter others. All the best men and
the strongest men in the country de-
sire peace; they will not support I'M
worthy politicians but there will be
no lack Of patriotic support OF an ad-
ministrat:on devoted solely 10 the
country's welfare. Before such a
united sentiment rebellions will

And the land question:
"A dream. Divide the land among
our Indians and they Will not hold
It a week. In very short time the
shrewd land spectators or the old
owners would buy it from them for
meal or a drink and the whole prob

again. Until we have educated
these people TO the responsibility OF
holding property it is impossible to
make such a distribution as the theo-
rists suggest. Only education can

about plans of reSenerat:ng this

MAY SUBSTITUTE
COTTON FOR JUTE
Post Office Department Investigat-
ing the Matter as to Whether
Change Can he Made.

Washington, Oct 5.-Investiga-
tion to determine whether cotton
cord should be substituted for iute
twine for use by the postohice de-
partment was begun today by COM
mittee of experts. Postmaster
General BurlesOn expressed belief
that owing to the prevailing high
price of jute and to the curtailment
OF demand for this years cotton
crop every effort should be made bv
the government to use cotton pro-
ducts whenever price conditions
permit.
Enormous quantities of jute twine
are used throughout the postal ser
vice. Over 100000 pounds of il
were used, mostly in the railway
mail service, during the last fiscal
year.
Similar inquiries in the past. IL is
stated, have established that cotton
cord is as serviceable as jute twine
but hitherto the latter has been
much cheaper. Last year the de-
partment spent about 100000 for
jute twine.
The postmaster general believes
competitive conditions can now be
reached if cord manufacturers will
submit bids to meet the present
price of jute twine.

CARRANZA RESIGNS.
But Conference Does Not Seem
Disposed to Accent

Mexico City, Oct. 4.-Gen. Venus
tiano Carranza placed his resigna-
ton as first chief of the Constitu-
tionalists before delegates to the
general conference of southern
chiefs shortly before o'clock last
night.
From that time until late hour
the question of whether the resig-
nation should be accepted was
fiercely debated with no immediate
prospects of vote.
Orators opposed to the acceptance
OF General Carranza's withdrawal
were repeatedly cheered by dele
gates and spectators. A motion
was made that the first chief be in
formed that it would be impossible
to accept his patriotic act of abne-
cation, but the hours passed without
vote being taken on the motion.
owing to the turmoil in the chamber.

INDUCE PLANTING
OF FOOD CROPS
Convention Hopes to Adjust the
Matter of Diversified
Farming.

Atlanta, Oct. 5.-Cotton growers,
wholesale merchants, bankers, com
missioners of agriculture and others
vitality interested in the campaign
for increasing the production of
food crops in the South, met here
today at the opening session of the
Southeastern Food Crops Congress.
The congress, which will adjourn
tomorrow, was called by the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce to devise
means to induce Southern farmers
to plant food crops sufficient for
their own use, so that whatever
profit they may derive from their
cotton will not be expended for
meats and provisions.
Charles j. Haden, president of
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
said today that President Wilson
probably would be requested to is
sue a proclamation asking that the
people OF each cotton producing
county organize for the purpose of
adjusting the matter of diversified
crops so that sufficient food crops
will be produced to satisfy the de-
mands of the South Atlantic states,
thus protecting the cotton crop for
the next year. Mr.. Haden also stat
ed that the President probably
would be petitioned to request the
governors of the cotton states to ap-
point five commissioners in each
county for the purpose of effecting
the proposed organization. The
initial meeting of the congress was
held in the state capitol.

 If your lawn hasn't been made ready for the starting of the sod, 1t should not be delayed. If 1t has been planted to Eng fish rye grass, cut 1t with the lawn mower. scatter some good. fine soil on top to fill up tho uneven places. and roll thoroughly so as to make even for the best moving when growth begins.
 It Is observed In many places about tho city that the grass plots have been pre- pared along lines suggested in these ar ticles, and the same have been safe- guarded against pedestrians by wire guards. If these thoughtless people will green any other way, why, let's place temporary guards to prevent it.
 If your shrubbery and roses have not been worked around and fertilized it should be done now just as soon as tho , ground dries out sufficiently. Remove all the old soil from around the roots and replace with a goodly quantity of we'll routed manure, or work in liberal sup ply of coarse bone There is nothing better than a good covering of wood ashes if you have them or can get them. If you have not decided on a canna bed. or a border of dwarf cannas or a bed of elephant ears tcaladum), do not delay. but get them in the ground now soon as possible. They will be making root growth and this Is essential to top growth Gladiolii and all classes of summer blooming bulbs should be gotten in the ground as soon as possible-the sooner now the better-where they will be making root for the support of flower and foliage later on.
 There will be many days when the ground will dry out rapidly from the warm breezes. and hot sun. and you should not neglect the watering of lawn and plants. Do this preferably in the evening.

MARBLE CHARGED
 WITH KILLING 0F
 YOUNG CONDUCTOR
Negro Arrested Early Yes- terday Morning, But Re fuses to Discuss
 the Killing

John Henry Marble, e negro was ar rested yesterday morning about o'clock and placed in the city jail charged with the murder of l.. H. Thomas, a conductor on South Bessemer car line, at 11:45 o'clock Saturday night. The arrest was effected by Officers Bagley, Harvill. Rich ardson, Merritt and Mullins
 The killing with which the negro Marble is charged with is one which shocked the people of West End in the early hours of yesterday morning when it became known that Leon H. Thomas. a popular young man. had been shot down at the door of his boarding house. 5o5 First ave- nue, few hours before by a negro. The entire community is stirred by the crime. Thomas was on his way to his room with his roommate, w. T. Walker when l at the door of his boarding house he was , accosted by a negro, who stood at the side of dray. On the dray was also another negro. Thomas friend. Walker, 1 kept on walking and went in the house
 However. before he went in the house Walker heard one of the negroes ask Thomas for match. Thomas replied that he had none and words followed The words attracted the attention of Walker who came out of the house in time to see the negro on the dray point a pistol at Thomas and fire three shots. Two of the bullets pierced the young street ear man through the heart, causing almost instant death. Following the shooting the negro on the ground ran toward West End and the negro on the dray drove off toward Montgomery street.
 The only words spoken by Thomas wheif he was shot were: Don't leave me; I'm dyingi'
 In few minutes following the shoot ing Thomas was removed to the Birmipg- ham infirmary. However, 1t was of little avail, as he died two minutes after reach ing the hospital. It was stated by the surgeons that he was practically killed in- stantly. although he managed to gasp for breath for about 20 minutes.
 The police were almost immediately on the scene following the shooting and A vigilant pursuit was instituted after the murderers. At 4:15 o'clock yesterdav morning the officers arrested John Henry Marble, negro. and they state that he is the draynnan that shot and killed Thomas. The negro refuses to make any sort of a statement
 Coroner Charles l.. Spain made a pre- liminary Investigation of the Thomas mur- der yesterday.
 The remains. of L. H. Thomas were sent to Kellyton yesterday afternoon at 3:sO o'clock by the Johns Undertaking con- pany for interment. The dead man Is survived by his father, c. E. Thomas, a merchant of Kellyton. and sister, Miss F. A. Thomas. of 517 North Nineteenth street.

 General Suggestions
 There is no we'll defined idea as to what to plant. or how to lay out the spot, be it ever so tiny. It would not be a bad idea to provide one's self with some one or more of the many magazines which treat of homes and gardens. There are so very many suggestions in these, in the pictures. and there would be more in the reading. but unfortunately there are so very many things in these articles that are not suited to our climate or soil conditions that a consultation with some one acquainted with what will do best with us Is advised.

HUNDRED SLOSS ID
 BUY GULF STATES
Merger of Two Companies
 Being Talked of Here
OFFICIALS VISITING
Men Interested in Sloss Company Have Been Inspecting Gulf States Prop critics, But Decline to Dis
 cuss the Rumors

Negotiations are under way, it is gen erally believed, for the merging of the properties of the Gulf States Steel com pany with the Sloss-Sheffieid Steel ano Iron company.
 For the purpose 1t Is said of inspect ing the properties of the former company, Henry Bronner, a prominent banker in New York. was here yesterday, leaving later for the east. He stopped over aS Gadsden. was there joined by Col. J. C. Maben. president of the Sloss comrany; Col W. H. Goodby, director of the Sioss company, and other officials. The properties at Gadsen were carefully in- speeted by the officers. MT. Brunner left without making any statement. He is said to be one of the banking group en- gagged Tn underwriting the Gulf States company and is also said to be strongly in favor of the two companies combining.
 Colonel Maben and MT. Goadby, who has been here several days, are observing their customary reticence in regard to the proposition They left yesterday in the private . f Alabama" for Russellville, where they will continue the inspection of the Sloss properties. They will return east in day or two.
 The officials will only say that there has been some slight talk in New York and here about tho Sloss taking over the Gulf States, but that there is absolutely nothing to give out at this time. The statement is added that whatever Is done in the nature of final plans will be handled in New York between the controlling in- terests of the two companies It may be that the negotiations will not ma terialize into a merger of the swo con cerns. but the industrial men of this dis trict are inclined to think that some thing very important in that connection will develop. It Is pointed out that the Slcss comfpany by securing the properties of the Gulf States will thereby acquire a very good nucleus for a finishing con- cern, whereas at this time the company only engages in the sale of pig iron. With the finishing plants of the 1';lt States the company would be able to com pete with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company here in some products and might eventually enter the steel -ail business.
 The fact that MT. Bronner made a trip here for no purpose except to look nver the Gulf States properties with the Sloss officials and hurried back to New York was taken yesterday as a very significant incident and was subject to the interpre- tation that there may be some tentative agreement even at this time in regard to the merger.
