F. J. Lund May be Candidate.

F. J. Lund, who has served this
county as representative the past
four years, is seriously considering
becoming a candidate for county at
torney. Mr.. Lund stated today in
an interview that if it were not for
the liability of his being called to
Mexico with the fifty-sixth regi-
ment, in which he has the rank OF
major, he would not hesitate to en-
ter the field. However, his friends
are urging him strongly and unless
the national guard are called with
in a few days Mr.. Lund will UNI
doubtedly become candidate.

WAR FOOTING
IN panama
COLONEL COCKTAILS TO PROTECT
CANAL:
Anti-American Sentiment Prompts
Governor to Order Troops to
Guard Locks.

Panama, April 25.-Col. George
w. Goethals, governor Of the Pana-
ma canal zone, yesterday issued Or
ders placing the canal zone on a
strict war footing.
Goethals instructed Major Ger
hardt, commanding the Tenth in
fantry, to send two companies OF
infantry to patrol the Gatun locks
and one each for duty at the Mira
flores and Pedro Miguel locks. The
soldiers were given 100 rounds of
ammunition each and will camp
near the locks.
The operating machinery of all
the locks will be locked and the keys
placed in the possession Of Colonel
Goethals.
1t is understood that coast artil-
lery companies will be distributed
among the Notifications of Flamen-
col and Culebra islands at the Pa
cific end of the canal and also at
Toro point and other forts at the
Atlantic end.
The action of Colonel Goethals is
believed to have been the result OF
anti-American sentiment expressed
in fly sheets which were making
their appearance in the streets OF
Panama and also shown editorially
in Ell Diaro, which is strongly pro-
Mexican.
There are $50 Mexican employees
on the canal and their presence
probably also had something to dc
with the action of Colonel Goethals

Miss Walsh Splendid
In Vaudeville Offering.

IA restless party in the gallery, who
probably had its own ideas of enter
tainment. took away the edge from
the excellent headline act, Tine
Countess Nadine" of Miss Blanche
Walsh and her company at the For
syth Monday matinee.
The little play is turgid sort of
vehicle for d person so capable as
Miss Walsh, but through it all the
power of the star is plain. There is
a darkly dignified setting to the act,
which heightens its .somber effect.
Miss Walsh is supported splendidly
by Wells E. Knibloe Theodore Bah
cock and William NJ. Travers. Miss
Walsh shows the same emotional
power that won her an envied place
on the legitimate stage.
Bright enough is the act that fol-
lows, that of Stepp. Goodrich ana
King, young men who sing and play
the banjo and piano. 1t is unfortu-
nate that they select az an encore a
burlesque on the Salvation Army,
which Is hardly to be considered good
taste.
Laura Buckley has an act in which
she impersonates exCellently several
well-known types, adding interest to
her work by changing costumes IN
full view of the audience. The Me-
Banns, in Juggling act, prove them
selves unusually adept with Indian
clubs and with straw hats, which do
anything they want them to, II
seems.
Hugh Mccormack and Grace Wal
lace show ability as ventriloquists in
an act that is a little out of the ordi-
nary. James b. Donovan and Ida
Arnold a well-known pair in Vaude-
vile. appear in an act of right clever
singing and talking Miss Teddy Os-
born. with pack of dogs and a lone
monkey, opens the bill

BY JAMES 3. NEVIN.

Dan Hughes, Assistant Commits
sioner of Agriculture, is county fair
enthusiast and never misses an OPP
portunity to push the county fair
game along.
Hughes began his weekly round Of
work to day by talking over the coun
ty fair situation in South Georgia
with w. w Webb, of Hehira,
Lowndes County, and the things that
Mr.. Webb told him not only interest
ed the assistant commissioner, but
enthused him anew in his county fair
endeavor.
The annual county fair in
Lowndes," said Mr.. Webb, ''unques-
people Of my neighborhood, and par
ticularly have the citizens of the He
hira vicinity found the smaller COM
munity fair well worth while.
We make the community fair a.
big and wholesome feeder for the
county fair to come later We have
a compactly and aggressively organ
lied community fair that challenges
the world. If any community In the.
nation, we care not where, VIII pro-.
duce a better fair, we will pay the
expenses of its transportation to set,
up alongside our own, for the sole
they have not reached the limit =,
I'VE allow nothing exhibited in the
community fair that is not, in every
way a local product. Farm products,
manufactured articles. household
goods-it makes no difference what.
1t must be a product of local talent,
or it finds no place in our fair. rms
community fair has promoted pros
perity in our vicinity, there Is no
sort of doubt about 1t. our local
bank has not sued borrower in
seven wears, has not passed a divi-
dend and has not had a piece OF paper
to become past due.
I'VE do not encourage the country
people to come to town to live; on the
contrary, we encourage the rural clti-
Zen to stay out. and we invite tho
town to go to the country as often as
possible, for both business and pleas
ure.
1--WE will put our section against
the world-and nothing has served ~
a better purpose than the county ana
community fairs!"
The Gainesville News evidently
believes there should be some SIREN
uous reforms effected in the matter,
of convict control in Georgia, both

The News says There is great

tunities have caused them to be OBJ

there has been a cold blooded loose+
