LUCK IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
A Suggestion That Grated Upon the
 Camera Mans Nerves.

A Suggestion That Grated Upon the
 Camera Mans Nerves.
 When the amateur photographers friend asked him why he looked peeved the other WAS glad to explain.
 "A friend of ours just asked me to come over and take a picture of her baby" he said She apolOgized for asking, which was unnecessary, be- cause was glad to do 1t, but she spilled the beans by giving as her reason that l had such good luck tab ing pictures"
 well, you do, don't your" inquired the friend.
 "There you go," the photographer exclaimed. There is no such thing as luck in my photography. What Texes me is that every one seems to consider them inseparable.
 photography is as exact a science as running a survey nowadays with those who know how to handle cam- era. With the photOmeter and exposure tables, proper developer and ther- mometer for determining it's tempera ture, every last element of luck is re- moved from exposure and negative making The same is true of the print ing processes. You know in advance how much light you have and how much you need. Factorial tables tell you how long to leave a plate in the developer. Every step is timed with a stop watch. And that's why it annoys me to have people say that my art is a luck proposition.
 Before l had taken as many pie lures as stand to my record now there was sometimes luck, mostly bad. AL though, as 1t appears to me at present, got better results than 1 should have obtained. But If a man with little experience and the proper outfit exer- cises as much intelligence as is neces- sary to boil eggs. photography is no longer a matter of luck, and I thank nobody to call me lucky."-Philadel- phia Ledger.

An interesting Bill.

Congressman Smith of Maryland has introduced what may be called Gn in- terestlng bill. In the preamble it states that the Federal government has taken for the United States Naval academy at Annapolis grounds in the city linn its that would be assessed at mil lion dollars and then 1t proposes that the federal government shall pay to the city "a sum equal to the taxes on that valuation" There is scarcely Q city on the seacUast of the United States that would not provide land for the Naval academy if they could get the institution located there. It was generally supposed that the academy
 was an asset to Annapolis, just as be- ing the capital of the state is an asset.

Dallas Had Never Heard of White
Men and Wanted Beads Instead of

Calcutta, July 20.-The Dafas are
new tribe, which has just been discov-
cred along the upper Brahmapootra, or
San-po, who, according to Capt. F. H.
Bailey, had never heard of white men
until this year and knew nothing about
India even.
They were the widest wild men
ever saw" he declared. They would
not accept money for their honey, and
appeared to be rather afraid of coins.
They wanted nothing but beads and
salt, They dress their hair by tying ii
in knot over the forehead, through
which brass or bamboo pin about a
foot long is passed horizontally. In this
is often tuft of palm leaves"
The home of the Daf1as is one of the
most inaccessible places in the world.
1t is northeast of India. Capt Bailey
explored $50 miles of the San-po, and
found snow peak 24,460 feet high,
which will be called Gyala Peri.

BENTON'S Flight
AFTER SHOOTING
CAUSES Comment
TRAGEDY s7IRs UP TOWN
Stated That Victim Was Shot
In Back

Monticello, Ga, July 20. - Eugene
Benton, who is alleged to be the slay-
er of Ed Braddos, who was shot
down on the main street here Thurs
day night, is still missing. Benton
sent word to authorities here that he
would be on hand when the case was
up for trial.
Mrs. Brauddos is now prostrated at
her home as the result of the death of
her husband. Her statement is ex-
pected to throw light upon the killing
and has been awaited with anxiety,
but she has not yet sufficiently recov-
cred from the shock to make a state
ment.
Authorities pursued the slayer far
into Jasper county, but when they ar
rived at his home it was found that
he had departed for parts un-
known. Frequent visits by Benton to
Mrs. Brauddos and demands and
threats which followed is said to be
the cause of the killing.
One witness to the shooting is quot
ed as saying that Benton was sitting
down on the opposite side of the street
when Brauddos came up to the post
Office for his mail Benton arose AMI
crossed the street, shooting Brauddos
from behind.
A deputy sheriff and the marshal
were close by at the time. The wit
ness stated that Brauddos threw up
his hands and exclaimed, Benton
you've got me; don't shoot again." but
Benton fired four more times, three
more shots taking effect in the body.
Benton then reloaded his gun AMI
walked away and the officers made nc
effort to stop him. They made nc
move until members of the Brauddos
family complained and insisted that
Benton be arrested.

HUERTA'S CROWD
ASK PROTECTION
Pending Change
BRYAN IS VERY HOPEFUL
Outcome of Conference With
Leaders

Washington, D. c., July 20.-Secre-
.tary Bryan was confident today a
peaceful agreement would be reached
soon between Francisco CarbajaI,
Huertas successor, and General Car
rama for the transfer of the govern
ment at Mexico City to the constitu-
tionalists.
Mr.. Bryan conferred with Jose Cas-
tellot, personal representative of Pro-
visional President Carbajal. The lat
ter brought official word of the res
toration of constitutional guarantees
and the evacuation of San Luis Potosi
by the federals. Mr.. Castellot was in
clined to attach little importanve to the
last note from the constitutionalist
agency here to the South American
mediators expressing an unwilling
ness to discuss terms of peace not only
with representatives of General Huer-
ia, but those of any government de-
rived from the dictator's regime.
we are waiting" he said qfor the
attitude of General Carranza toward
the commissioners now on their way
from Mexico City to confer with him"
After Mr.. Castellot left the state
department Minister suarez, of Chile,
discussed Mexico with MIR. Bryan. He
showed the secretary a copy OF tn,
latest note from the constitutionalists
The communication is phrased II
courteous language and thanks the
mediators for their efforts in behalf of
peace in Mexico. 1t sets forth, how
ever, that inasmuch as it is a prin-
ciple of the constitutionalist party not
TO recognize any acts of Huerta, it
would obviously he impossible to re-
cognize any of his ENJOYS or the gov
ernment derived from him. For the
purposes of peace, however, Carran-
"a says, he could accept the uncon-
ditional surrender of Huerta or of any
regime that might emanate from his
alleged authority"
Inasmuch as the note was written
before Carranza was advised of the
sending by Carbajal of three constl-
tutionalists from Mexico City to dis
cuss peace with him, administration
officials here believed the constitu-
tionalist chief would not decline to
discuss terms.

Americus, at all times among the
cleanest and healthiest of Georgia
cities, is going to be absolutely immac-

waged by DR.. ]. w. Chambliss, chair
man of the city board of health, is
completed. Always at this season pri-
vate premises and all vacant lots are
cleaned up, and this campaign of san
itation is now progressing. An extra
inspector has been put to work, and
every back yard in town will fall under
his eagle eye this week. Weeds must
be cut down on vacant lots and the
back yards laundered to the queens
taste. Last week cases were made
against eight citizens who failed to
comply with notice given them to
clean up, and eight fines were paid on
pleas of guilty entered by them.

CONTINUOUS rain

ABOUT ANERICUS
TORRENT OF RAIN DAILY
If Continued viii Injure Cot.
ton Crop

t The Americus territory, Sumter and
adjacent counties, has been deluged
with rain during the past week, the
downpour being of daily occurrence.
In consequence the farm lands are
water-soaked and work is practically
at standstill for the time. A gener-
al rain had been much needed, but the
precipitation has been excessive and
there is no prospect of returning sun
shine at present. Continued rain will
give cotton rank and unhealthy
growth and, besides, will start crop
of grass that could not be handled at
the present stage. Corn, too, is getting
too much of a wetting and the crop
could easily be made without another
shower. Damage will result quickly if
the heavy rains continue.

the Sixth congressional district, is q
candidate for reelection. His check
paying his entrance fee as filed yes
terday morning with W. M. Howard,
chairman of the district executive com
mittee, within two hours of the last
meeting allotted by the committee to
candidates.
j. Walter Wise, of Fayette, is again
a candidate for the office.
Judge Bartlett rose last week from
a sick bed, and he is said to be in q
weak condition yet. 1t is not likely
that he will conduct an active cam
paign, relying upon his friends to Sc
cure him reelection.
1t was believed by many of Judge
Bartlett's friends that he would not
offer for reelection, on account of the
fact that he announced two years ago
that he would not run again, only de-
string to serve one more term. !.
In that election he defeated Mr.. Wise
under the plurality rule, by about 200
votes.
