WOMEN SURE To

DR.. TAYLOR

Suffrage Sign Of Progress.

is of the opinion that it is only a
question of few years before the
women of the United States will have
vote.
Il don't see how anything can pre-
vent woman suffrage from becoming
universal" said DR.. Taylor. ut is one
OF the signs of our progress in civili-
cation, and one of the greatest move
ments ever inaugurated. The ten
dency all over the country is to rec
ognfze the fact that a woman is At
ted to help frame the laws that gov
ern her. Many States have granted
the franchise to it's women citizens,
and other States are falling into line.
Woman suffrage means a greater
increase in the independent vote, and
foreshadows the end of machine and
boss rule. 1t means the end of COM
mercialized, police protected vice, for
women will not stand to see other
women bought and sold, and when
woman suffrage becomes universal
segregated districts will be abolished
all over the country.
In the States where women are al
lowed to vote, notably in my own
State, Illinois, their entrance into
public life has purified politics and
caused the officials of city and State
to think more of the public welfare
than they did before women were
granted the franchise. Right now the
women of Illinois have the politicians
standing on their heads"

sociological workers in the United

Sues For the Lease of Blackboard Is
land Hunting Preserve.

A distress warrant has been issued
by the United States government in
the district court at Savannah against
w. A. Brinson, Jr., of Guyton for
S688.27 for the rent of Blackboard

be used by the government as an
experimental station.
Mr.. Winburn, it is understood,
rented the place for $500 per annum,
to be used as a hunting club for Mr..
Brinson and his friends. The con-
tract was for the quarantine station
and grounds, which were abandoned
by the government a long time ago.
Mr.. Crimson had not been in possess
sion of the island a year when the
government decided to make use of
the island. The warrant will be serv-
ed on Mr.. Brinson at Guyton or he
may waive service and give the nee
essary bond.

an estimate of probable loss in reve-

increased beer tax it is estimated

WAR PUT CRIhP IN MULE MARKET
The Cotton Field Beast Has Been
Declared "Contraband Goods"


MEMPHIS, Tenn-The American
mule has been barred from the great
European war. This news was re-
ceived by officials of the great horse
and mule market here. The neu-
trality laws, coupled with the fact
that the nations in conflict have de-
clared mules contraband, have caus-
ed buyers for France, Germany and
England to cease activity until the
situation clears up.
Memphis sprang into fame as a
mule market during the Boer war,
when England discovered that the pa
tient, plodding cotton-field mule was
adapted to artillery and pack train
work. A few weeks ago agents for
the Turkish government made ar
rangements for 10000 head to be
shipped Immediately. This order was
held up as soon as it was learned
that the shipment would be consider
ed contraband. 1t is thought that the
Turks were merely acting as agents
for Germany.
The average price of pack mules
is $16O head. Memphis is the sec
ond largest mule market in the coun-
try handling about 5000 head a
year.

STABLES TO Be SEIZED
AMERICAN RACERS IN EUROPE
TO BECOME WAR HORSES.

many, Austria and Russia, netting

100000, have been, Or will be, de-
prived nf their highly priced animals
to help the mobilization in progress
in those countries, according to a ca
BILE to the Ledger While the num-
Der of American-owned horses that
have been requisitioned by authori-
ties of warning European states is
not very great, as army Requirements
go, the quality of the animals taken
is of the best.
Those in England and France are
mostly thoroughbred racers, while
Russia and Austria have a number of
trotters sent over there to campaign.
A few of both runners and trotters
are in Austria and Germany, though
the stables are small in each coun-
try.
Word has been received that AL
fred Vanderbilt's coaching horses, in
Guiding the famous all gray team,
with which he won several prizes at
the horse shows and in the coaching
marathons, had been donated by him
to the British authorities without
waiting for the legal requisitioning
which would certainly have come in
few days. Mr.. Vanderbilt's horses,
numbering between so and 100, most
of them Vermont bred and picked
up in this country at considerable
cost and after years of search, are
considered the finest string of coach
ing horses in the world.
Next to Vanderbi1ts the most valu-
able string of horses owned in Eng
land by an American is probably that
of Walter Winans of Baltimore,
whose harness horses swept all the
prizes in several classes at the re-
cent international horse show at
Olympia Mr.. Winans has some 20
high-grade harness horses, many of
them bred from the best trotting an
finals in America, but some of them
hackney bred, either here or at his
breeding farm in England.

break of this pest in the northern
states east of the Rocky mountain;
and in other sections Of the country
and that the worms have apparently
swarmed from the southwest. 1t ap-
pears advisable, therefore, to send
the following to the press for general
publication:
AS the army worm travels usually
in one direction the farmer whose
crop is threatened may plow fur
row around it with a perpendicular
side toward the field to be protected
and drag a log along in the furrow
from time to time to keep the soil
loose and dusty and kill the worms
which have accumulated in the ditch.
This with poisoning thoroughly half
a dozen outside rows of the crop with
one pound of arsenate of lead to fifty
gallons of water will answer the pur-
pose. The heavy use of Paris green
or London purple for poisoning IS
sure to injure more or less the foliage
of the plants, and is not recommend
ed unless the arsenate of lead can
not be secured.
Where farms are carefully and

will generally prevent a start. OF
course the preventive methods are
hest, because there are four or five
and sometimes six generations of the
worms in a season.
Where the worms are already dam
aging cotton field they may be pois-
oned by scattering a loose dough
made of one pound of Paris green to
a bushel of wheat bran, thoroughly
mixed and moistened with sufficient
water. to which has been added a
quart, of molasses. This mixture
should be scattered at the foot, OF the
stalks late in the evening, and care
should be taken to keep the chickens
and livestock away from it. 1t should
be remembered that arsenate OF lead
Paris green and London purple are
deadly poisons and that these mkt
ures must be kept away from chill
dren.
