HIT BY BULLET FIRED NILE AWYA
Skies Collins, an Old Man, Is Acct
dentally Shot While Driving
Into Mount Vernon.

Mt. VERNON, Ga.-While driving
into this place about II o'clock this
morning Skies Collins, a well known
man living a few miles north of this
place, was struck in the foot by a
rifle ball fired by C. L. Hamilton
nearly mile distant.
The bullet entered through the
side of the buggy, piercing Mr.. Col
Inns foot under the heel joint and
inflicting a painful wound. On feel
ing the pain Mr.. Collins and a COM
panion drove quickly to the court
house square. Physicians were i'm
mediately called, but failed to re-
move the bullet.
Mr.. Hamilton used a Swiss army
rife of large calibre and fired at a
hawk near his place but on a low
limb, calculating on the bullet pass
ing over the public road. 1t is pos
sible that the bullet was detected by
| 3 limb.

Big BATTLE JUST AHEAD IN EUROPE
Belgium to Be the Theatre of Most
Formidable Shock in History.

PARASITIC Petit Parisien's re-
view of the war situation today is as
follows:
"A great battle is preparing. Bel
GUM is to be the theatre of the most
formidable shock in history, the du-
ration of which escapes prophesy.
"RepuIsed in the south at Dinant
by the French the Germans have
been making since Tuesday vigor-
orous offensive movement towards
the north, which on Wednesday fore
ed the Belgians, after a fine resist
ance, to fall back on Antwerp. The
Belgian government will claim a tri-
umph, whereas from a strategical
point of view the movement was OF
mediocre importance.
The French armies also have TAX
en- up their respective positions and
it is certain that our general staff is
far from being taken unprepared by
our adversary's tactics. The staff
had long foreseen them and it pre-
pared to deal with them under the
best auspices"

AVIA7ORS THROW BOMBS
FRENCH MILITARY AIRMEN EN-
GAGE IN DARING EXPLOITS.
Flew Over German Fortress at Height
of 5000 Feet and Threw Bombs
With Remarkable Goodness.

PARlS.-Details of a daring eX-
plot at Metz, carried out by French
military aviators, were given in an
official communication issued by the
war office, which says:
>'At $50 on Friday evening Lieu
tenant Cesari and Corporal Prud-
homme, flying in separate aero
planes, left the French fortress at
Verdun with orders to reconnoiter
and if possible destroy the dirigible
balloon shed in the German fortress
OF Metz.
Lieutenant Cesari flew over the
fortress at height of nearly 5000
feet, while Corporal Prudhomme re-
mained at the lower altitude of about
$500 feet. A terrific fire was di-
rected on the two ayiators from the
fortress garrison and during the flu
sillade the motor of the lieutenant
aeroplane stopped. AS he did not
wish to fail in his mission he began
to Volplane and while doing this
threw a bomb with marvellous cool
ness. Shortly afterward he succeed
ed in getting his motor started again.
In the meantime the corporal had
hurled his projectile also.
Could Not See Damage.
The smoke over the city prevent
ed the aviatOrs seeing whether they
had achieved their purpose and flew
away amid a rain of shells from the
quick-fring guns. They returned
safely to Verdun."

STATES COTTON AND SUPPLIES.
That Country For Report OF the
Trade Necessities


WASHINGTON.-The department
of commerce has telegraphed to the
principal business points of Latin
America seeking information as to
what goods are needed.
Remarkably precise, timely and
helpful reports are being given out
by the department based on the an
sWers received.
Following is a summary of what
Buenos Ayres demands and is will
ing to pay for as soon as the ex-
change problem can be arranged:
High prices are being paid at
Buenos Ayres for American coal.
There is also a good demand for the
following goods, each of which rep
resents more than $1,OO0,0OO annual
importation: Pig iron, machinery,
colored prints, galvanized iron, auto
mobiles, woolens, steel rails, cotton
wrought iron, structural iron, wire,

rice, glassware, tramway material,
knit goods and yarn, iron pipe, linen,
writing paper, wax candles, malt,
copper manufactures, tea, sanitary
appliances, bolts and nuts, tinplate,
bridge materials, preserved and

Along with this report from the
department of commerce there was
similarly definite information as to
the present needs and active demands
at Valparaiso, Chile, and several
other trade centers to the southwark.
Similar wanted" lists will no doubt
be published.
Big Service to Country.
In thus acting with promptness and
particularly with the view of giving
American manufacturers not only
general but an exact and definite idea
of the trade outlook in South and
Central America the department of
commerce has rendered and will con-
tinue to render the country's a sub
stantial service.
Secretary Redfield has an intelli-
gent grasp of the very present need
for exact information. He can't make
it too full or exact, or supplement
it with too many practical sugges-
-.
regard to getting, handling and keep
ing South American trade and the
people of Georgia can't be too much
away or too lively in "cashing in" on
this chance to take the market of the
whole western hemisphere.

WAS BURNED TO DEATH
CAPTAIN JOHN TRIPLETT MEETS
WITH MOST HORRIBLE END.
Noted South Georgia Editor Sue
cumbs After Being Rescued From
His Burning Bed.

Captain John Triplett, of Thomas
Vile, an inmate of the Confederate
Soldiers Home, near Atlanta was
burned to death Wednesday night
His bed on the top floor of the
home building caught fire shortly af-
ter 7 O'Clock Wednesday night, and
by the time it was discovered prac-
tically all the bed clothing had been
burned and he had sustained such
severe injuries that he died within
less than two hours.
Pipe Caused Fire.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from the captains pipe, which was
found in his bed after the fire had
been extinguished. Color is lent to
this theory by the fact that he was
burned more severely about the chest
than elsewhere, and it is believed fire
from the pipe ignited his clothing
first and that the bed clothes caught
from these.
In spite of the fact that number
of other inmates were in the building
at the time and several were on the
same floor with Captain Triplett's
room the fire was discovered by a
family living next door, member of
which telephOned to ask what the
unusual light on the top floor was.
The matron of the home, who an
swered the phone, investigated, and
found Captain Triplett's bed burn
ing fiercely.
Unconscious When Found.
Her creams brought not only 9TH
er inmates of the home, but the night
watchman and other officials, who
quickly extinguished the flames. Cap
tain Triplett, unconscious, was hur-
riedly carried to the hospital build
ing, but died a short time later with
out having regained consciousness.
Captain Triplett went from Thorn
asville about one year ago, when he
entered the home. He had made his
home in Thomasville ever since the
civil war for almost so years. He
was founder of the daily Times-En-
terprise, and was one of the best
known men in this section of the
state. He was buried at Thomas
Vile.

HOT CONVENTION FIGHT
mo DETERMINE WHO WILL BE
cEORGIA's JUNIOR SENATOR.
A Combine Is Being Talked of. Rec
ord Attendance of Politicians VIII
Pa ut State Convention.

ord Attendance III OIAIANAehS " Az
Re at state Convention.
ATLANTA. - The Slaton-Hard-
stakeholder Hutchens fight for the
short term United States senatorship
is nv no means ended, in spite OF the
nresent governors plurality lead. On
the contrary. 1t seems sure that a
hitter convention wrangle is ahead
unless it becomes apparent now, as
was repeatedly charged by Governor
Slaton during the campaign, that
Fielder and Hardwick really were
running in partnership" and that at
tho nsvchological moment one or the
other will retire.
CouId Force Ozark Horse"
Fielder and Hardwick between them
will have sufficient delegates to con-
troll the convention. Slaton, if Hard
wick and Fielder should fail to get
together, could throw the nomina-
fion to whichever he elected. Or in
the event they cannot agree the gov
ernor could force dark horse"
nomination.
The delegates to the convention
will he chosen from among friends
of the successful candidate for gov
ernor. and that means that Harris
delegates really will be the men who
must be reckoned with. Delegates,
after some balloting might split as
they pleased, going to a man who ran
second in their respective counties
and this would likely nominate Sla-
ton, provided Slaton delegates stood
pat 1t hardly is probable, however,
that either Fielder or Hardwick
would relish that idea and so it ap-
pears certain that some sort OF a
pre-convention understanding must
he had even if it is not already in
existence, between Hard wick and
Fielder as to a floor program in the
convention hall.
Many Angles to Convention Fight.
There are many angles to a con-
vention fight that may prove decid-
edly interesting, and it is by no
means certain at this time who the
nominee for the short term eventu-
ally will be. Mr.. Hardwick will lead
Mr.. Fielder, but that will not necessa-
rily mean that Fielder will give way
to HardwiCk; on the contrary the
low man more than frequently
proves to be the favorite in the
balloting Finally that is exact
ly what came to pass in the dead
lock on the commissionership Of ag-
rieulture in Macon. Price, two years
ago. in balloting in the beginning
eventually won the nomination.
The Macon convention is sure to
be attended by record-breaking gath
ering of Georgia politicians. AL
ready the Dempsey and other hotels
are run over with reservations and
the clans have not begun to assem-
bile.

NOW MILADY HAS HER PIPE.
Women Are No Longer Content With
the Little Cigarette.

Women Are No Longer Content With
the Little Cigarette.
Cigarette smoking by women all
over the world is so common now
that few consider it worthy of COM
ment The attitude of most persons
nowadays is that cigarettes made of
light Turkish tobaccos are to be con-
sidered like dinner wines-something
which may become the basis Of a vice
by overuse, even as ordinary viands
may lead to gluttOny.
But in Paris the women of certain
sets-and the demimonde is not
meant-are now going a step further
and rejecting the paper-covered Gig
arctic for the pipe and the cigar.
Along this line some interesting
statistics having to do with the smOk-
ing likes and dislkes of the royal per-
sonages of Europe have just been
compiled
Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus
tria-Hungary, aged SO, is now the
heaviest royal smoker in the world.
He consumes every day 20 Of the
long, black cigars, costing very little,
which are the delight of the Hunga-
rian peasant. He doesn't smoke
them to pleaes the peasantry, eth
err, but because he likes them.
The Kaiser's cigar bill is $1,000 a
year. He consumes ten long, fat
cigars daily.

PROBING FOOD PRICES
MOURNING INTO ADVANCE BE-

Remarkable Shift of Costs. Hogs

Flour Lower, Meat Higher.

J
! WASHINGTON, D. additional
special agents in the department Of
| justice were dispatched Monday to
Cleveland, Providence, Baltimore
Pittsburg and Buffalo to assist in the
nation wide investigation of the in
creased price of foodstuffs.
United States district attorneys all
over the country have begun tnQulr-
les and in many places grand jurie5
are at work. At Buffalo John l..
! O'Brien, district attorney, will try to
ascertain the cause Of the rise in
| -four
Fred Robertson, district attorney
at Topeka, Kan, reported that the
unusual circumstances of wheat 60
ing down on the market and the
price of -four going up has stood out
prominently in the Kansas City pa
pers for several days. He is investi-
eating.
Floods of Letters Come in.
A food of letters reached AttOr-
ney General McReynolds from vOlun-
tary correspondents regarding the
advance in food prices. A Brooklyn
correspondent claimed to have spe-
cifc information that packers there
are rapidly increasing prices of fresh
meats, Notwithstanding an unusual
amount of meat in cold storage in
New York. Gamers protested
against the increase in the price of
sugar. A large Middle West firm
wrote that the refners, "by their
joint system of selling their product
through certain brokers, have the
public at their mercy"
A district attorney in Texas re-
ported that graduated sugar had
risen from $3.50 to $3.50 per hun
dredweight since a week ago; Swiss
cheese from % cents to 38 cents;
-four from $4.75 to $40, beef ribs
from IS to 81 cents per pound, sir
loin 20 cents to 80 cents; pork loin
IS cents to % cents, and smoked
ham from 20 cents to % cents. The
district attorney suggested that
small consumers are charged even
higher prices than hotels and restau-
rants, according to the figures
quoted.
Live Stock Down; Meats Up.
A letter to the attorney general
from one of the largest live stock
companies in the West reported that
while hogs declined in Chicago $1.0O
per hundred pounds and cattle de-
clined 65 cents to So cents per hun
bred pounds, dressed products to the
consumer advanced several cents per
hundred.
THE packers claim that reduc-
lions were made on account of finan-
cial conditions and money stringen-
cy," he wrote, but l do not know
what excuse they gave for advancing
the pressed article. There is very
little beef or pork exported"

CANE THAT WAS ONCE
OWNED BY THE PRINCE
Valuable Relic That The German
Chancellor, Bismarck,
Walked With

Gottfried Kruse is the proud pos
SCISSOR of a cane that once belonged
to the famous German chancellor,
Prince Bismarck. The cane is head
ed with a part of an antler of a
deer that roamed in the Saxon for
est, Prince Bismarck's own private
hunting ground. The cane itself is
OF hazelwood, grown in the same
forest.
Mr.. Kruse yesterday received the
cane from one Mueller, a retired
farmer of Lewisville, Watonwan
county, in exchange for a new cane.
The end of the cane was broken on
and though the original length had
been restored by the addition OF
piece of iron, the cane no longer
suited Mr.. Mueller's requirements,
and he was glad to trade 1t of for
new and sturdy one.
The cane was given by Prince Bis
marck to Mr.. Mueller's brother-in-
law, who was head forester of the
princes hunting ground. The prince
himself killed the deer, from whose
antlers the het d was made. After
the deer was killed the prince caused
the horns to be cut up into sixteen
pieces, which were used as the heads
of sixteen canes. These canes were
presented to the princes foresters
The head forester gave his cane to
a nephew OF his, who in turn gave
Il to his uncle, Mr.. Mueller of Lewis
vile.
Mr.. Rruse will keep the cane or

REAR END AUTO BUMP
One Machine Ran Into Another While
They Were On West Front Street
Last Evening

As Otto J. Gacke, the local hard
ware man, was having an automobile
driven from West Front street upon
Owatonna street on the way to the
carnival grounds last evening, the
back of his machine was struck by
another automobile, which was com.
ing north on Front street. One tire
OF Mr.. Gacke's machine was torn and
burst and the back. fender was broken
A lamp was broken on the other
automobile.
Both the autoes we're on the right
side Of the street." said Mr.. Gacke
today. II was on the right side OF
Front street. facing west, when OH
Ger Waters gave us the signal to
so ahead. We came around in front
OF street car TO the west side of
owatonna street, keeping to the
right. Il was there that the other
auto struck the back OF ours. The
men inside had a talk with me and
promised to pay all damages. They
said they were the Eberhart Broth,
ers OF Good Thunder. II seems that
they did not heed the signal of OH
Ger Waters TO stand still and let us
get by" The Eberhart brothers are
well-known and honorable gentlemen
and they certainly would not inten-
tionally run into anyone's auto.
