Limits of the Universe

From the Louisville Courfer-Journal.
 Through the 5000 or 5000 stars visible to the naked eye are increased to 40.0000OO or 50.000,000 by the most powerful tele- scopes, evidence is being collected to show that the stellar universe Is not in finite, but that-inconceivab vast as it is--ts own portion of space really has limits.
 At Tatsfield England, D'Esterre has for three years been making continu- ous photographic record of 1000 square degrees in the milky way about Perscus and Cassiopeia, the survey including one forty-first of the entire sky. From all liS own and other observations he finds that of the novae. or transient stars, none has been discovered with a maximum brightness less than the twelfth magni- tude. and he points out that. if the uni verse were a million light years in radius as Professor See has suggested, the faint novae would be much more numerous than the bright.
 The fact that taint variable stars al- ways remain visible at their minimum as eighteenth magnitude or brighter-is further proof that the boundaries of the universe are nearly within our vision.

 will not accept the nomination for Con-
 gross to oppose Representative Fred L.
 BlacSmon of this city,
 "The first intimation that I had of my nomination was received through the papers Sunday morning." said MT. Williamson Monday. q think too much of my business to jeopardize 1t in any way by taking an active part as candidate for political office, and you may say that while I appreciate the honor conferred on me by my friends, I will, under no circumstances, consent to become candidate.
 If I should make the race, l have no doubt of my ability to carry three counties in the district" said MT. Will | Hanson, "and 1t would surprise you to know the large number of men here In
 Anniston who have urged me to make
 the sacrifice necessary to the canvass" | MT. Williamson Is one of the fore
 most bushes men in this district, his
 mill and the town of Blue Mountain
 which he directs being models. He is
 chairman of the Calhoun county com
 mittee, but did not attend the state
 convention at which he was nominated. | C. R. Barker, former postmaster of
 Anniston, secretary of the Fourth dis
 trict committee and a member of the
 state committed, who was largely re-
 sponsible for MT. Williamson's nomina-
 tion. says he does not know whom the
 republicans will now decide on as their | lcandidate, but that they will assuredly have opposition for Fred Blackmon" | In referring to their activity, J. M Siattery, secretary to Congressman Blackmon, who Is now in the city, said | You might say that Congressman Blackmon and his friends will not lose l any sleep over republican opposition, whoever the candidate may be. MT. Blackmon will not neglect his fences, but he knows that the Fourth is a sol idly democratic district. He has had
 no trouble in defeating republican op-
 position heretofore. and we anticipate
 no trouble this fall.'

Y LILA TRIUMPHANT.
Panic Scenes-Women, Children and
Soldiers Mix in Wild Scramble
Over River TO Safety.

! Preside, Tex, Jan. l2.-Twenty-
eight hundred Mexican FeGeral sold
iers, six Mexican generals, 100000
rounds of ammunition, two cannons,
four large field pieces and 1900 civil
ian refugees are in the custody of
! the United States army border patrol
as the result of the Federal army's
evacuation Of Ojinaga, Mexico, last
might, in its flight to American terri
tory and the occupation of the Mex
lean village by General Francisco
Villas rebel forces.
The distress of the refugees is in
tense. They have scant food and no
shelter. Men, women, children, dogs,
chickens and cattle are packed to-
gether in a space covering several ac-
res. About them are scattered all
the goods and baggage which they
brought in fleeing from the Ojmaga
battle.
Charges of cowardice were made
against Generals Orozco, Salazar and
Rojas. General Mercado said these
generals abandoned their troops at
the beginning of the battle and thus
weakened the Federals' defense.
The only generals who quit the bat
tlefeld with honor, Genial Mercado
said, were those who accomanied the
Eedera! ;.rry scross The Rio GirailGe.
General Mercado reiterated that the
Federals were compelled to evacuate
bcause of lack Of ammunition He
said at the retreat his soldiers had an
average of only rs cartridges each.
Scores of women camp followers
had lost their children in the scram-
ble and were crying piteously in the
corral provided for them on the
American side Others were without
clothing sufficient TO protect them
from the cold. and all were drenched
from wading through the river. The
scene of disorder was almost as bad
on the American side as on the Mex
ican.
Scores of Federal guns had been
thrown into the river and were pro-
t,7dine from the mud. Federal and
rebel wounded. who had crawled to
the river bank side by side, were wad-
ing across, helped by the American
soldiers.

Julian Y. Williams favored the ap-

lature and three by the governor as
contemplated, to consider the ques-
ton. He hoped the representatives
present would exchange views with

In the opinion of A. D. Brockett
the Chamber of Commerce desires
only such legislation as will prove
helpful to the entire state. Banks, ne

perity of a community. The system
of taxation in vogue for the past
