when Corporal Jensen, who was on
guard duty, called his comrades 20

There is a feeling of sharp tension
here to-day as a result of the attack
on the cavalry company, and the exc

English subject, by General Villa.
The dislike that Americans of the
border towns always have felt for
Mexicans has been turned to open
hatred here by the developments of

ties fear that race riots will break
out at any moment.
Mayor c. Il. Kelly to- day refused
to grant permission for open-air mass
meetings to be addressed by ex-Gov-
ernor George s. Curry, of New Mex

painters no longer are drinkers as a

There is no responsible position,

want him. They knew he can not be
efficient SO long as he stunts his brain
with intoxicants.
THE action OF the great railroad

one big proof of what l say"

once were among the worst offenders
in the matter OF drunkenness, are Inn

Since returning from Macon and

approximately 500 kilograms and
twice as many letters relating en-
tirely to the matter of the appoint
ment of a temporary successor to the
dead statesman.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
appointment is, in reality, an appoint-
ment of hardly more than three
months active duration, the ambi-
ton to receive it apparently obsesses

ton. to the effect that the Hardwick
boom is a direct challenge and dare
to the Governor, there is little talk
Sena torial going on among the pom

ton of the temporary succession.
AS to that matter, the Governor has
had nothing whatever to say for pub
Iication, He has, of course, discussed
frankly and openly several gentlemen
whose names have been suggested
to him, but he has not given out any
hint as to who will get the plum.

About the hotel Hobbies, the name OF
Osborne. of Savannah, is heard the
most frequently just now, perhaps
He is admittedly one OF the master
politicians of the State. In Southeast

by way of influence and political af-

loyalty and fighting ability has been
proven on many hotly-contested

the Governor that there could be no
better or more fit man picked for the

South Georgia say the Osborne
