New York, Feb. 27.-Today being
first notice day for March delivery,
about fifty thousand bales were ten

March premium somewhat, but other
wise the market was featureless. Bus

OF the forty-fve staries nominated
by the twenty-four authors, eighteen

his stories are ranked as classic, par
ticularly THE Great Stone Face"
Irving's rip Van Wrinkle" and
Hale's The Man Without a Country

one would naturally think they were
entitled And it is certain that at
least one of the stories of Kipling,
ranked among those of second choice,
does not excel Chambers "The Tree

The favorable estimates placed ~

not be a candidate for reelection to
congress. 1t said nothing of the SEN
atorial situation and he made no com
ment beyond stating that he viii
make a formal announcement of his
intentions in a few days. That he will
run is regarded as certain.
Mr.. Hardwick said in his lette:
that he would have made known ais
intention not to offer for reelection
earlier, but that he desired to save
the district an unduly protracted
campaign, Justice to the other can
didates and to his party makes it nee
essary to delay no longer, he says.
The letter thanks the people in the
district for their loyalty and support
throughout the twelve years he has
been in congress.
Another development which pre-
cludes the possibility of Col John T.
Boifeuillets running for congress was
the definite announcement from Rep
resentative Bartlett, made informally
through letter to his secretary, that
he will be a candidate for reelection.
This had been expected for several
weeks, but Judge Bartlett had reached
no definite decision until he went to
Macon. He is there now.
Col Boifeuillet stated today that
he has made no plans for the future
other than that he expects to return
to Georgia He will probably engage

the senate. He declined to serve as
secretary to the new senator, though
expressing his appreciation of the o.
fer. He has sent a telegram to Col.

The. eminent lawyer, and still more
eminent statesman, Edmund Burke, de-
clared in the parliament of Britain: Il
do not know the method of drawing IL
an indictment against a whole people.
If Edmund Burke had lived in this
century, in this era Of progress and of
the new freedom, he would have been
shown the method of indicting a whole
people through non-recognition of 4
government, and also of condemning a
whole people to civil war, chaos, and
anarchy by the same method and at the
same time.
The Indictment of the pople stands
today and the world is witnessing the
millions OF the population of Mexico
undergoing hourly the penalties of the
condemnation.
For eleven months the government
of the United States has failed to find 9
government in Mexico to which it
would extend recognition.
That action in itself weakened the
power of the de facto government at
home and abroad; it drove it to dire
straits in finance; to extremeties in
the maintenance Of order by force of
arms; it removed the influence of ma
tional authority from the depressed J.
ements Of strife and disorder, and il
famed, as with a blast, the flames q.

If this action of nonrecOgnition was
intended to overthrow the Huegta al
ministration, to bresd rebellion to the
central government as represented by
him and his associates, it surely, if not
as yet successful, has gone far 10

SKETCH OF LIFE OF NEW GEORGIA SENATOR

William Stanley West, the oldest sur
viving son of James and Mary A. West,
yas born in Marion county, Ga, Aug.
23, 1849, was educated in Mercer Uni
yersity, where he graduated with the
degree of bachelor of arts subse-
quently receiving the degree of master
CT arts from the same institution, conf
pleting his education when he was
about 80 years of age.
While a student in the university he
was honored with the presidency of the
Ciceronian Literary Society and was
anniyersarian of the society in 1880, a
fact that evinces his standing as a stu
dent and his popularity with his class
mates. In the earlier portion Of his
business life he was engaged in teach
ing, continuing in this occupation for
some time after leaving college. He
was then identified with sawmill and
numbering interests as well as some
other enterprises, after which he grad
uated in the law department of Mercer
University and was admitted to the
bar upon completing his course.
He located in Valdosta, where he
soon demonstrated his capabilities rs
an attorney and counsellor at law and
won a high standing at the bar Mr.
West has always taken a keen interest
i'll public affairs and has been for
years recognized as one of the active
democratic workers in South Georgia
From 1892 to 1897 he served as Il
member of the lower house of the state
legislature, and in 1898-99 was a mem
Der of the state senate. In 1900 he
declined a return to the lower house,
but was elected in that body in 1902
and served until 1904 In 1865 he was
again returned to the senate
without opposition and avs elected
president fthat mody. When he first
entered the Legislature in 1892 he in
troduced a hill providing for a uni
form system of text books in the com
mon schools of the state which he re
cards as one of the most important
measures he ever championed. While
lie continued to introduce this bill at
each successive term Of the Legislature

SAVING ONES OWN LIFE

For whosoever will save his life,
shall lose it"-Mark viii, 50.
This is one of the eternal para
doxes, perceived by prophets and CO.
flied by human experience. The man
who is always thinking about himself
defeats his own ambitions.
The principle holds good all along
the line of human activity. A person
must be absorbed in what he is do
ing, if he is to- get the best results.

it was opposed with such stubborn
ness at each session that it did not
finally pass both houses until 1903. He
took great interest in the bill to es-
tablish an agricultural industrial and
rarmal college in South Georgia, whicn
bill passed the Senate in 1905 and the
House in 1906.
Another measure in which he took
an active interest was the bill looking
to the. leasing of the Western and At
lantic Railroad for term Of sixty
years at not less than 100000 per
month after the expiration of the
present lease This bill passed the
Senate in 1906, but failed to pass the
House
Besides the acts referred to directly,
he was also active in the support OF
and influential in shaping much of the
important legislation during his long
service of thirteen years in the Cen
eral Assembly. At the close of the ses-
sion of 1906 President West was pre-
scented with a handsome loving cup by
the Senate and in the course Of the
presentation speech it was stated that
he had been fair, impartial, honest,
fearless and competent, and that tn >
Senate had made no mistake in elect
ing its presiding officer. The cup is
twelve inches high and five inches in
diameter and bears this inscription:
"W. S. West President of the Sen
ate of Georgia. from the members of
the session of 19O5-19O6."
During his college days Mr.. West
became a member of one of the Greek
letter fraternities; he is a member of
the Benevolent and Protective Order
Of Elks, and while connected with the
lumber industry joined the Concatenat-
ed Order OF Hoo Hoos In all these
organizations he has maintained a pop
ularity based on his sterling qualities
as man and his general good fellow
ship. On Nov. Is, 1888, MIR. West
was united in marriage to Miss Ora
Lee Crawford, daughter of John L
and Jane (Baird) Crawford, originally
of Pike county, Ga. Ito this union
has been borne one son, William s., Jr
born on April T, 1902.

THE SCATTERING OF A NATION

from the Rio Grande to the boundaries
of Guatemala. Thousands of miserable
poems are starving in mountains, in
valleys, and in plains. Thousands o.
merchants, farmers and manufactur-
ers have been deprived Of their prop
erty, and scores Of them held for
ransom by robbing bands.
Lust, rapine, and plumber call idle
men to association with bandits and
brigands, and peaceful peasants are
transformed to fiendish followers OF
savage leaders.
Dynamite, powder, rifles, revolvers,
machine guns, and cannon are now
sold without reserve to known outlaws
and men with records and regulations
Of YEARS of crime,
With all this, our charge daffaires
and our consuls demand that the cen
trail government protect American cit
liens and all other foreigners!
Does the memory of Madero and the
desire to punish Huerta for deed he
dsclaims justify the immolation of the
Mexican people on the sacrifcial altar
of bloody revolution, and the ruin of
thousands of American citizens, as well
as assassination of many of them?
Is not Mexico enutitled to be recog-
milton of sane government for her
people?
Shakespeare said "A little fire IS
quickly trodden out; which, being suf-
fered, rivers cannot quench." Few
Americans desired Intervention. It
would be avoided if the right course
had been taken last March. An erron-
eous policy, adopted with the best OF
motives, is now producing the worst
possible results.
If MsiXco has now no government,
the world will insist that one be found
