GOVERNOR SLATON
SAYS COTTON GROWERS
MUST SAVE SELVES
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct Ex-Governor
John NJ. Slaton has returned to his Of
fee from a visit to Washington, where
he attended the national conference of
governors on the cotton situation. He
is more than ever convinced that con-
gress will do nothing to aid the farm
ers.
Congress will adjourn, l fear, with
in few days without having passed
any legislation on the cotton situation"
he said this morning. They must work
out their own problem so far as con-
gress is concerned. The palpable ct
fort in Washington to shit the burden
of relief from congress to the cotton
growing states will fail, for the states
cannot effect legislation, even if their
constitutions would permit, in time to
save the situation.
In New York l found the friendliest
and most sympathetic feeling toward
the cotton grawers. Everybody seem
ed to want to help and l was assured
that New York looks upon the South
trouble as a national and not a sec
tional one. New York is anxious to
help if the right way can be shown"

ing to hear the application.
According to Governor Brewer, Oliv-
er is wanted on the old charge that he
lis in reality his alleged twin brother
Harding, who escaped from the state
prison while serving a sentence. The
governor aserts that the state failed to
produce its witnesses at the time of the
habeas corpus hearing, in which Oliver
proved apparently that he was not
Harding.
There seems to be some doubt now
as to whether or not Oliver could be
taken back to Mississippi to answer
charge on which he has had one hear
ing and in which he came out best.
Oliver is out on bail in Lee county on
a charge of cheating and swindling, so
there is some question as to whether
or not he will be in Atlanta Thursday
or the hearing before Governor Slaton.
Governor Brewer said that the sher-
if and deputy sheriff of Monroe county,
Mississippi, in which county Oliver is
wanted, will be in Atlanta to attend the
hearing on the requisition, and to es-
tablish the charge that Oliver is in
reality Harding.

OF IMPROVEMENT
ARMY OFFICER As INSTRUCTOR
BRINGS COMPANY TO POINT
OF EFFICIENCY.

The Americas Light Infantry, Com

ual fine appearance when out last night
on weekly drill, the men marching and
executing all commands given with the
precision of veterans. The large at
tendance at all drills is highly crafty
ing to Captain Fort, Lieutenants Ne
Lendon and Hogue, and to Sergeant
Sullinger, of the regular army, who
has been sent here from Fl. Mcpherson
for a month for the express purpose of
drilling the company.
Sergeant Sullnger is a very capable
drillmas;er and painstaking withal, IN
the Light Infantry he has excellent
material to work with, and he is drill
ing and moulding the company to a
very high state of efficiency.
In recent weeks the ranks of the
Light Infantry have been strongly aug
mented and the command is practically
up to the full requirements. The per-
sonnet of the company is excellent,
too; a sturdy lot of young fellows who
feel deep and lasting pride in their
command which for nearly thirty-five
! ,ars has teen the strong right arm not
only of Sumter county but of south
Georgia as we'll, to a great extent, in
keeping down disturbances when their
services were greatly needed.
On more than one occasion the gal
liant old "A. L. l." has been hurredly
put aboard as pecal train and rushed
to- danger zone where serious
breaches of the peace threatened while
"Andersonville campaigns" prevented
riot and bloodshed annually during a
long period of years.

Smith arrived home soon after con-

moments when discovered that you

floor by the comfortable, where, in
some way, it had been knocked off.
The only book that is missing is the
one that Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins sent
us, so that must have been the one
that you sent to the Snivelys.'
Mr.. Smith collapsed into the near
est chair.
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling," went the tele-
phone
Mr.. Smith, still in a dazed condl-
ton, rose and answered it.
Hello is that you Smith," said a
voice. This is Perkins"
Smith braced himself for the worst.

"Nonsense!" said MIR. Sniyely It's
light package and don't mind
carrying it a particle"
Mr. Smith ground his teeth with
rage. How was he to get that book
away from Sniyely?
"Sniyely," said he, my office is only
few doors down the street. Come
up and smoke a cigar with me. I've
got some good ones"
few minutes later Mr. Smith ush-
cred Mr. Snively into his Office
"Sit down here, snively," said he,
offering his guest a chair. Let me
have your package; I'll put it over
here on my desk"
He took the book eagerly and put 1t
on his desk out of sight. AS he
smoked and talked, he racked his
brain for a scheme to get Snively out
of the room without his book.
Good morning, gentlemen. Merry
Christmas"
1t was Smiths partner Perkins,
who thus addressed them as he came
out of his private Office.
Suddenly a brilliant scheme took
shape in his mind. He proceeded i'm
mediately to put it into execution,
"By the way, Perkins, have a
Christmas present for you" AS he
spoke, he picked up sniyely's package
and, holding it so that Snively could
not see it, walked over the Perkins
and handed it to him.
"But-but-" Perkins protested.
Take it and keep your mouth shut,
or I'll choke you'll" whispered Smith
fiercely.
ooh, thank you very much" said
the astonished Perkins well, must

After talking few moments longer,
Sniyely rose to go.
