Events Are Moving Rapidly.

Events at Naco have moved with "un-
expected rapidity," according to a re-
port to the War Department today
from Brig. Gen. Bliss. Secretary Gar
rison summarized the situation in this
statement:
Heavy rifle fire all yesterday after
noon, which Cob Hatfield interprets as
an effort on the part of Gen. Hill s
forces to prevent Gen. Maytorena from
getting into position for attack. Al
1:45 o'clock three guns firing shrapnel
opened from the east and two from the
southwest, and continued firing until
dark on Hills position. Maytorena has
informed Col. Hatfield that what he
was doing was a defensive move, and
not an attack.
Brig. Gen. Funston. with the troops OF
the 5th Brigade and the marine regi-
ments remaining. has about $500 men
at Vera Cruz. The evacuation would
take about a week after the order Is
given, for time to move army trans
ports and possibly charter merchant
vessels The 5th Brigade troopers may
return to Galveston and the marine
regiments probably will be distributed
to the Guantanamo camp and other
stations.

Cotton Prices Will Be Determined
By Number of Green Fields of
Cereals In South This Winter
Pres Andrew M Soule Georgia College of Agriculture

The best evidence that the cotton
acreage will be cut next year will be
the number of fields sown to cereals
this fall. If the number is large the
price of cotton will strengthen. If
little land is sown to cereals, the in
tentions of the Southern farmer to cut
his cotton acreage will be discredit-
ed in the commercial world, cotton
Will maintain low level and can raj
ly only when it is actually shown that
the Southern planters have reduced
their acreage next spring.
Sowing largely of oats, wheat and
other cereals this fall, means imme-
date betterment of cotton products.
The evidence will all be in and so
conclusive that the verdict of the
commercial world will be that cotton
Is worth more than its present quota
tions.
Will there be a good market for &C.
reals next year? Most assuredly. Eu.
rope shows no signs of converting it's
instruments of war into pillow shares
and pruning hooks this fall in time
to put in cereal crops. There is
bound to be world shortage and a
ready market at good prices. But not

so with cotton. Spindles have been
idle, but there has been and can be
no cessation in the consumption OF
food.
The evidence ought to be clear
enough to every cotton farmer in the
South with this years experience, that
selling cotton for song and buying
food at war prices is enough to for
ever drive him away from his one
crop sallacy. 1t should at once or1gi-
nate the wheat field, the oat field, the
poultry yard, the vegetable crops,
some beef cattle, pork production and
other such farm accessories that will
thrive and produce profit here as in
the most favored section Of the world.
There is no reason under the sun why
the Southern farmer cannot snap his
fingers at foreign wars, and feel their
effects in better prices he will receive
for the food crops he can produce.
Sow cereals, get into independent
farming with food supplies growing
under your own hands, grow only as
much cotton as you can afford to hold
for a good market This done the
South can defy the world to find a
farming class that is more prosper
GUS.

SLATON WANTS TOKNOW
MAY NOT ISSUE REQUISITIONS
FOR PETTY OFFENDERS.
Governor Wants to Know More
About Facts in the Cases Before
Bringing Them Back to State.


ATLANTA, Ga.-There are one or
two solicitors general in the state
who seem to be making more ado
than usual over the capture of the
parties wanted for small misdemean-
ors and petty offenses, and the ques-
tion has naturally arisen as TO
whether there is likewise a depressed
business condition among court off,
cials making it important that they
bring to justice every offender who is
capable of paying a fine.
For Petty MisdemeanOrs.
Governor Slaton has just received
from one solicitor general in one day
requests for about a dozen raquisi-
tions for offenders wanted for petty
misdemeanors who have escaped
from the state and fed into other
jurisdictions. Such cases are involv-
ed as the charge against one man for
having called another a liar; another
is wanted for alleged drunkenness
on a public highway. Another is
charged with having smoked in a
church. One is said to have had a
gambling device in his possession,
and still another is charged with
having carried a pistol openly with
out having secured license from
the ordinary.
The indictments were of such a
petty nature as to impel Governor
Slaton to hold up these acquisitions
for further investigation. In fact,
the probability is that he will not
issue them. Some years ago at an
interstate extradition conference held
in New York city the governors in
attendance agreed to discourage
extraditions for petty offenses except
in special cases or under aggravated
circumstances.

TO LOSE SHARE OF FUND
COUNTIES FAIL. TO CERTIFY AU-
TOS HAVE BEEN RETURNED.
That's Section of Act Passed by Leg

Received by Terrell Officials.


isIature Last Summer. Letter
Received by Terrell Officials.
Many counties in Georgia face the
possibility of not receiving their
share of the auto tax fund for road
purposes, because of failure to GER
tify to the secretary of state that so
per cent of the automobile owners
have returned their machines for
taxation.
Section 6 of the act passed this
past summer reads: ''It shall be the
duty of the county commissioners, or
the ordinaries, as the case may be, to
see that as far as they can all per-
sons owning automobiles in their
counties return the same for taxa
ton, and they shall report to the
secretary of state. If it should be
proven to the secretary of state that
as many as ten per cent OF the auto
mobiles in any county are not re-
turned for taxation that county shall
receive no part of the automobile tax
for that year"
In order to protect himself under
this provision of the act Secretary
Cook has sent to every county a
blank form which requires that off,
Gals shall certify to him that more
than 90 per cent have been returned.
Some are bucking at this, and while
admitting that in some cases not ex-
ceeding so to so per cent have re-
turned on machines the officials do
not want to certify to the fact for
fear of making individuals mad. And
a mad auto owner has vote! Some
have even wanted to shift the re-
sponsibility to Secretary Cook, but
as he has about all the troubles he
needs he has politely but firmly de-
c1ined to assume the responsibility.

he has saved a great deal of prop

wrecks. He has autographed cards
from Luther Burbank, Thomas Edi-
con and VIM. H. Taft. He has pict-
uras of himself and Jack London
taken in 1894, when they used to
share biscuits and box cars together.
Snnaking of Jack London he said:
"He is in the writing business only
accidentally. He is really on the
earth for the motion he can get out
of it: besides, he's like me, he never
learned to write by going to college,
and he has travelled almost as much
as 7 have" A-No. / carries one let
fer which reads: 81 know A-No. 1

A-No 1 started on the road when
eleven years old. He received a whip
ping at school: that meant he would
get another from his father. He went
home. secured his rife, traded it to
railroad brakeman for a ride, and
started from California for Chicago;
from there he rode box car to New
Orleans. For food he appropriated
the loaves left by the bakers at the
houses in the early mornings, and
soaked them in molasses from the
dripping barrels on the wharves. He
worked his way to South America on
a boat destered it, and in mahog-
any camp he lived with the natives.
He has made six different trips to
Euorpe. one to New Zealand, one to
Japan, China and the West Indies.
His life work is to rescue others
from the life from which he could
not save himself. A-No 1 has re-
claimed many a boy tramp from the
junk heap. He sent one of Duluth's
big business men home from box
car in Louisiana when he first start
ed to chit the grit
''In his travels he picked up four
different languages: Spanish, Ger
man, French and English.
Perhaps no Pullman passenger eN-

of the car was writing books that he
would be reading later, but A-No. l
has a publishing company bearing his
own name at Cambridge Springs,
Pa, to print the books he writes. All
of his books are about tramp life and
his adventures.
He says he is perfectly delighted
with married life and is making up

the last 25 years. Mrs. A-No. is
afraid that his old habits will return
some day and she will find him steal

GERMAN ARMY HAS
5000 DOGS OF WAR
BRITISH ONLY FORCES THAT IG-
MORE VALUE OF FAITHFUL
ANIMAL IN THE FIELD.
NEARLY ALL ARMIES HAVE THEM

Recent Wars Have Served to Empha-
size the Advantages to Be Gained
BY the Use of Their Peculiar Quail
tiles of Scent and Hearing.
However trite may be the saying
that history repeats itself it is un-
questionably opposite, in regard to
the employment of dogs in warfare,
writes a New York Tribune CORES
pondent. Great hounds were used to
guard the camps of Rome. In even
more primitive times they were for
midable adversaries in hand-to-hand
conflicts, while to come to modern
days Frederick the Great and Napo
leon-two of the greatest soldiers
the world has ever seen-held a very
high opinion of the value of canine
sentries. Napoleon, in fact, is said
to have urged Marmont to fasten
dogs to stakes around the circuit of
the walls of Alexandria to keep
guard.
Recent wars have served to en-
phasize the advantages which may be
gained by the use of the peculiar
qualities of scent and hearing which
dogs possess. Their sense of scent we
human beings lack almost entirely,
while they not only hear audible
things more quickly than we do, but
also hear things which are quite in
audible to us. Is it to be wondered
at. therefore, that military experts
have not been slow to recognize such
potential properties?
The present day tendency conse-
quently is to bring dogs more and
more into the foreground in warfare.
During the Russo-Japanese war the
whole of the Manchurian Railway
Line was guarded by dogs, who gave I
the alarm and on several occasions
prevented the Japanese crossing the |
line Those which were sent out
from England with the Abor expedi-
ton, northwest frontier, more than
once prevented the sentries from be-
ing rushed during night duty, owing
to their keener sense of hearing. In
the Tripoli campaign their value was
frequently demonstrated, while the |
war dogs belonged to Major Richard
son, the famous Scotch trainer of war
dogs, rendered yeoman service to the !
Bulgarians at the siege Of Adriano-
pie, where they were able to give
warning Of attempted sorties by the |
Turks. Some Of Major Richardson's |
we'll trained animals were also used |
in the Spanish trenches in Morocco, |
being responsible for the finding of
hundreds OF wounded men who |
would otherwise have been left to
their fate.
At the present moment most of |
the modern armies employ dogs, al
though naturally opinions differ as
to the most suitable type of dog. |
The Russians have adopted the eau
cassian dog, Austria Dalmatians, !
Turkey Asiatic sheep dogs, France
and Belgium the smugglers' dogs,
of the Belgian frontier, while Ger
many uses collies, pointers and Aire-
dales. So far the British army has
ignored the value of trained dogs, |
though the admiralty some years ago /
instituted a scheme for the use of |
dogs in naval stations ashore. Major |
Richardson believes that the only
really useful war dogs are the Aire-
dale. sheep dog and bloodhound.

THE WHOLE TRANSACTION

Senator Borah's letter written to
State Chairman Day about Allen was
written after the primary when it was
too late to force Allen off the ticket
and before the state administration had
acted. What the senator wanted was
action against Allen SO soon as there
was evidence to warrant it along any
line. After the senator wrote Day,
the condition of the treasurers office
was revealed through the initiation OF
the state administration. The ex-
posures and punishment of Allen fol-
lowed. This Senator Borah highly
praises and his letter to Chairman Day
constitutes a ringing Endorsement OF
the administration action and an ap-
peal for its reelection because of that
one act alone if for no other reason.
Standing for Haines
From all over the state comes word
that republicans are abused as never
before by the democratic attacks on
an administration that has cleaned it's
own house. If there was any ques-
ton about the success of the republic
an ticket it is removed by the fight
ing spirit shown by republicans gen
orally, many of whom never before
.ook an active part in the campaigns.
Another development is that large
1umbers of independent voters are
docking to the republican standard. !
Their position is that as they have
10 party and no platform except clean
and exposure and punish
nent of corruption in office they
