courageous fighting OF the ex-bandit
were published throughout the world.
General Oroxco. another OF Madero's
officers. soon became violently jealous
of Villa and began to make sport Of
his lighting qualities. but Madero had
won and villa retired from the army
and was given Government position
at chihuahua. A few months later
General Orozco demanded large sum
OF money from the Madero Govern
ment for his services during the rsvo-
luton. and on being refused he set
about to have revolution against thu
and organized an army
for that purpose.
Hatred OF Orosco.
villa. who In the meantime had
heard Of Orosco's slurs at his military
ability. begged Madero to allow him to
return to the army "and get even with
the coward Orozco." General victo-
rina Huertg. the present Dictator OF
Mexico. was at that time Madero'u
chief. but VILLA did the
real fighting. and although the Orosco
revolution was speedily put down. It u
one OF the SORROWS OF Villas life that
he failed to capture the leader. Fric-
ton between Huerta and villa soon
became apparent. and Al Huerta was

complaints of bad packing. bad as
sorting and generally bad condition
incident TO the hasty marketing of
the crop have been made by foreian
manufacturers. especially that our
tobaccos have been regarded with less
favor In many parts of the world.
and in some instances being supplant-
ed by other growths These gentle
men claim that II we would retain our
! supremacy in the foreign markets Il
behooyes us to exercise more care
in the handling and maturing of our
tobacco If this Is not done 1t may be
that it Is only a question of only a
short time when we shall wake up to
the fact that we have lost many OF
our best customers.
Some of those who are opposed to
the increase In sales claim that II is
a. physical impossibility for buyers to
properly take care of the crop in three
or four months time. Some of these
men say that it is not an easy matter
to finance the crop when II Is mar
keted so rapidly This they claim
would make "a hardship TO the small
buyer
While II Is a fact that we can Ill
afford to jeopardize the supremacy of
our tobacco Iii the markets OF the
world by marketing the crop so rap
idly that the buyers are unable to
properly care for 1t, the question Is
what can be done?
Can warehouse people take the risk
OF urging farmers not 70 market their
crops too fast when tobacco Is selling
well? Farmers seem determined to
sell Just as rapidly as conditions will
permit, IF II Is high they will sell
fast because they will be afraid of a
decline. II it Is not selling high they
will sell fast because they are afraid
there will be further decline, 1t looks
as If farmers are determined to mar
ket their crops in the future as they
have in the past; the only thing that
can be done is to arrange to handle
il the best way possible.

Helpful as these improved terminals
will be. their fun BENEFITS can only
he realized By the provision of. ade-
quite trackage facilities on our main
lines. The company has, therefore.
made provision for carrying out its

OF double-traek construction. Nego-

the Georgia railroad commission. for
which we have today made applea-
ton, have been sold to retire a COR

crime. So. he took to tho mountains.

came the Robin Hood OF Mexico. Al
excellent shot and man who could
control even the widest HORSE he soon
gathered band Of men about him and
they became a terror OF the Mexican
mountains for period OF more than
. dozen years. Pornro DiAx was tho
Dictator OF Mexico at that time and,
alarmed at the boidness OF Villa and
his men. he set price upon the hoad
OF the young robbcr chief. The Ru-
rales (the constabulAry Of the coun-
try) set out to capture him. and sew.
'eral desperate lights IN the mountain
passes took place. Villa succeeded In
killing score or more OF tho Rurales
in these encounters. being slightly
wounded himself. with each clash
with the officers Of tho law his hatred
for Diax increased, and when the Ma
dero revolution against the Dias
regime began Villa offered his serv-
Toes to Madsro. which were At onoe
