speech on the unity and patriotism OF
the German people and commented ap
preciatively on the large number OF
members of the reichstag who are now
serving at the front.
In his exposition of the progress Of
the war the president said:
Japan Joined our enemies from a
desire to seize as booty the monu-
ment to German culture in the far
east. On the other hand, we have
found an ally in Turkey. as all the

united until death, in stress Of danger,
in common concert for the veal of the
fatherland.
"Our first thoughts go to the en-
Zsror and the army and navy, who are
lighting for the honor and greatness
of the empire. Full of pride and with
unshakable confidence we look on
them and our Austro-Hungarian COM
rides in arms, who are firmly united
to US to fight and to win great battles
with brilliant bravery.
Our latest ally in the war forced
upon us is the Ottoman empire, which
we'll knows that If the German empire
were destroyed II, too, would lose its
national right to arrange its own des-
tiny AS our enemies have formed a
powerful coalition against us they will.

RELATIVES SEEK
LIGHT ON KILLING
Not Satisfied With Verdict of
Coroner's Jury in Galloway
Death at Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. although a
coroner's jury declared w. B. Carhart,
president of a shoe manufacturing
company, was justified in killing ]. P.
Galloway. a we'll known resident, at 2
O'Clock yesterday morning in the Car

laway announced that all the facts
have not been uncovered and that the
case will be put before the grand jury.
The wealth and social prominence
of the persons involved and the mys-
terry about the tragedy have caused a
sensation. Galloway was killed just
after Mr.. and Mrs. Carhart had re-
turned from the Capital City club. Cal
Iaway also had been at the club and
danced with Mrs. Carhart, but left
three hours before the Carharts.
Carhart says he and his wife had
undressed and Mrs. Carhart had gone
to the bathroom when she cried out
there was a burglar in the house. Car
hart got a pistol and went to the bath
room, where he saw a man escaping
through a window.
Carhart fired, and the man fell out
of the window to the ground, dead. Ex-
animation showed that the man was
Galloway. He was fully dressed ex-
cept that his shoes were unlaced.
Mrs. Carhart corroborated her hus-
band and the jury acquitted Carhart.
Galloway was 80 years old. Mrs. Car
hart is about 45 and beautiful. Gala
way had been a frequent visitor at the
Carhart home.

TERRELL BOY GETS A PIGI
Pure Bred Berkshire Given by Cen
trail Railroad to Tom Kennedy for
Growing Most Corn on Acre.

OIOHIHS hOSU OOfn on acre.
Tom Kennedy son of Mr.. C. B.
Kennedy, has received from the Cen
trail of Georgia railroad the pure bred
Berkshire pig offered to the boy in
Terrell county who raised the largest
number of bushels of corn on an acre
last year. In letter notifying him
of the shipment of the pig the rail-
road says:
we would like to emphasize the
fact that this pig is worth every cent
of the $25 it cost US, and his value
will show particularly in the quality
of his offspring. Pure bred stock al
ways pays, and it costs no more to
care for and feed a first-class animal
than a scrub. If you take good care
of your pig and exhibit him at your
nearest county or district fair next
fall you can probably take a blue rib
bon, for he is from prize winning
stock. You made so much corn on
your acre you will have plenty to
feed number of pigs, and l trust
our prize may give you a start that
will enable you to become as success
full at hog raising as you have proved
yourself to be at corn growing. The
object in having pigs as prizes is to
encourage the raising of high grade
hogs as well as the growing of more
and better corn. l shall, therefore,
write you next fall and ask that you
give US a report on what you have
done with the pig"
