MOTHERS VISION GOLDEN FOR SONS
Riches in Mine That Had Been
Abandoned as Worthless.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis.-Back of the
announcement that the Ashland
mine, owned by two Californians,
brothers, E. A. and j. o. Hayes, the
former a congressman, is to be the
heaviest iron ore shipper in the Cog
ebic range this year, is a strange
story of the winning of a fortune
from the earth through the clairvOy-
ant prophecy of their mother 1t
was through her influence, due to a
vision, that the brothers continued
work in the property after it had
been abandoned as worthless.
The Ashland mine was first leased
to the Penokee Development Com
pany. In 1899 it was abandoned as
worked out, and the Hayes brothers
had the property thrown back on
their hands as discredited hole in
the ground"
The mother, however, in her home
in California, described to them the
conditions in the property, which
sha had never seen. Accurately de-
scribing the drifts she told the sons
where to work to find a new ore
body. Her prediction came true af-
ter two years work, and this year
the mine will ship a heavy tonnage,
over 100000 tons having already
beer sold.

little JOE HAS NO POLITICAL PLANS

paigns. In the olden days, when
the farmers and those living away
from the big towns had no way at
all to keep posted except by hearing
speeches by the various candidates
there may have been some excuse for
campaigns several months in length.
but in these days of the rural free
delivery and the metropolitan news
paper, when every farmer can have
the news of the day before him at
his breakfast table, there is no eX-
cuse for the willingness which it
seems has already been evidenced by
some of the candidates to plunge
the state into political strife.
The Lest thing for Georgia now
is political peace, and the voters are
coming to realize that. They are ac-
cordingly not going to deal leniently
with any candidates who permit their
selfish desires to threaten the quiet
ude of the present situation"
so you are going to sit back and
let them fight it out without taking
any part in the fun"
That is certainly what l am do
ing now-but, of course, you never
can tell ABOUT politics. It's such a
funny game, you know, that just
when you think you are out of the
whirl and are getting the first rest
you have had in a long time sc ne
cog slips and the call of party low
atty, or of patriotism, forces you
back into it all; but
Let's hope that the peace and
freedom from strife that we have
enjoyed now for so long will con-
tinue!"
Saying which the man who once
indited note which landed him in
the governors chair calmly switched
the topic of conversation to pigs and
chickens-and the fact that the late
coming of the Easter moon this year
presages a late spring and busy
season for the farmers.

farm WAGES INCREASE RAPIDLY
Statistics Are Given Out as Results
OF Inquiry Made by the Depart"
ment of Agriculture.

Farm laborers wages have increas-
ed more rapidly than those OF the
city workman in the last twenty
years a department of agriculture in
vestigation has revealed. During the
past year the pay of the farm hand
increased 2 II per cent; the increase
has been II per cent in the last four
} ears, and SO per cent since 1902.
Results of the inquiry, made public
today, dealt particularly with the
United States, but in most other
countries also farm wages increased
rapidly. The investigators discover
ed that while wages went up about
81 per cent from 1900 to 1910 farm
land values nearly doubled in that
decade, showing, they say, that in the
distribution of the proceeds from
farming operations a larger proper
ton now goes to capital account and
less to labor account than formerly"
The wide difference in wage rates
in various parts of the country, the
report pointed out, is gradually les

siderable variance.

What is there in the

General Fielder this morning.

Yes, l expect to run until the

governorship, have never had any
such notion since | announced my
candidacy for the senate, and this
is final and emphatic"
Which ought to lay all rumors,
reports or speculation as to Mr.. Eel
der's intentions.
He is still undecided just when
his final announcement will be made,
but it is understood that his friends
are urging him to resign as attor-
ney general at once and begin his
campaign for senator.
1t is believed that he will follow
this advice shortly, and it is also
understood that his campaign head
quarters will be located in Macon.

South CarOIinian'S Cotton Bill Is
Amended by Georgian. Would
Prohibit Technical Practices.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Senator
Hoke Smith today introduced amend
ments to the Smith (of South Caro-

which he believes will force, if pass
ed, the cotton exchanges to do only
legitimate business, The amend
ments, of which there are several and
most of which apply to technical
practices of the exchanges, will be
accepted by the author of the bill.
The most important of the amend
ments is the one providing that the
only cotton allowed TO be delivered
shall be one of the grades recognized
in the government standardization
and that in case another grade than
the one purchased is delivered the
difference in the price paid shall be
the actual difference. in market val
ne. Another amendment provides
for the abandonment of what is
known as the pro-fOrma system of
delivery and other technical prac-
tees by which a buyer may be de-
MED delivery of what he has bought.

be the most remarkable in the his
tory of the organization in the
growth of membership in Georgia and
other Southern states.
Members of the subordinate
lodges over the state are demonstrate
ing keen interest in extending the
organization, it is reported, and in
some cases nearly every member has
pledged himself to go out and secure
at least one new member for this
year.
The number of new lodges, as well
as of general membership, will be
increased in 1914, and engagements
for Masons' Annuity lecturers have
been made in Vidalia, Fitzgerald,
Watkinsville, Lyons, Uvalda, Tignall

is expected that other engagements
will be made before the month closes.
The Masons' Annuity is doing a re-
markable and unique work in fur

Pigs EYE GRATED ON BADY'S
lea Is Performed in Baltimore.
How 1t Was Done.

BALTIMORE.-W is believed
to be the first operation Of it's kind
in this country was performed today
at a local hospital when the cornea
of a pigs eye was grated on the
sightless eye of a three-months-old
boy. 1t is said that previous oper-
ations in which rabbits eyes had
been used were unsuccessful, but
that experiments with pigs eyes had
led scientists to believe that they
were more adaptable. Two cases are
said to be on record where the graft
ing of human corneas gave sight to
totally blind eyes.
In today's operation the pig was
chloroformed, the eyebalI taken out
and the cornea cut from it. An ex-
traordinary fine needle and fine silk
thread were used in sewing the cor
nea in place The eye will remain
bandaged for about a week.

MORSE TO REOPEN HIS BANK
Financier VINO Was in Federal Pris-
on a Remarkable Man.


In 1907 the National Bank of
North America, "Morse's bank. F."
went down in the crash of the panic
and Charles W. Morse went to the
Atlanta penitentiary a little later.
Everybody thought he was out of
business for keeps. They continued
to think so when reports came from
his prison that he was very near to
death. People spoke of him as if he
were already dead, a man of the
past. And now Morse, out of pris-
on, healthy, happy, smiling, is very
much in BUSINESS Gaping the eli
max of his financial rehabilitation
comes. the announcement that posi-
bly, the\ National Bank of North
America will reopen its doors. 1t is
said that it has assets of $2,S00,000,
which, according to a dispatch from
New York, would assure its resump-
ton of business. There have been
few stories of ups and downs in this
country more engaging than that of
Morse. He was credited with being
wise in the old days, when he was
up. Apparently he didn't lose any
of his wisdom when he was down, in
a cell, and said to be dying.

WHEN GEORGIA RAN A LOTTERY
Only Old Records in State Library
and Pioneer Citizens Remain
to Tell Story.

ATLANTA.-Only old records at
the the state library and few pio-
neer citizens remain to tell the tale
of the lottery that the state of Geor-
gia conducted in 1866. Much delving
into old newspapers and the histories
of Georgia fail to bring to light in
innate details of this queer episode
which has been passingly referred to
recently in current journalism.
Capitol records show, however,
that the chances cost $25 and $50,
and that the brick on the site of
Grant building was the scene of the
gamble. The state received annual
reports and a part Of the proceeds,
but the purpose of the lottery was to
raise funds for a widows and or
phans home.
The records of the Georgia legisla-
ture for the year 1866 show that an
act was passed modifying the laws
against lotteries to permit certain
parties to establish one in Atlanta.
The records of 1876 show that this
act was repealed; records recently
found in musty old papers at the cap
itol show that annual reports of the
lottery were made to the governor
until the early seventies.
That is all. Histories dwell long
on reconstruction days, but none can
be found that refer even most dis
family to the lottery. Old citizens
have been approached, but save that
there was such a lottery these men
can recall nothing of it.

GOV. COLQUTTT OFFERS Big REWARD
Texas Governor Wearies of Watch

of five Mexicans suspected as muir
derers of Clemente Vergera has caus-

cials serious concern for information
al complications.
The right of the governor to of
fer a reward for the apprehension Of
a fugitive is not denied by the Off
Gals. But in this case it is feared
that the offer may lead to an attempt
to kidnap the Mexicans and bring
them into Texas, which would violate
the extradition treaty between the
United States and Mexico, and afford
the Mexican government ground for
a demand for punishment of the
kidnapers with all kinds of legal en-
tanglements.

TO PROTECT. INSURANCE COMPANIES
tgailst Lawsuits by irresponsible
Persons May Be Subject of State
Legislation This Summer. y

ATLANTA-The passage at the
coming session Of the Georgia legis-
lature of laws to protect the life in
surance companies and similar Or
CARNATIONS in the state against the
filing of irresponsible law suits by ir-
responsible persons will be strongly
urged, according to announcements
made here.
The proposed change in the law is
one that would protect business con-
Germs, but at the same time would
not be a fence behind which weak or
improperly managed organizations
could hide. 1t would make it impos
sible to throw a business concern in
to the hands of a receiver without
the giving of an indemnity bond by
the petitioning creditors amply suffi-
cient to cover all possible damages.
1t would prevent, it is stated, the
wrecking of legitimate business con-
Germs, and would help make Georgia
desirable business state.
1t is declared that there is lax
ity in the present state insolvent
laws, and that practically all the
Northern states have already adopted
measures similar to that above men
toned The idea is one that has
been commended by many Georgia
editors, but it will be placed before
the legislature this year in definite
shape for the first time.

WON'T INPEACH SPEER
NOT BELIEVED FEDERAL JUDGE
WILL LOSE HIS ROBE.
Chairman Webb Is Said to Be in
Favor of Rendering Report of
CenSnre ON Georgia IuriSf

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Judge En-
DRY Speer's statement that he would
mot be willing to accept retirement
if the house judiciary committee
charges against him are to be disre-
garded by the Webb subcommittee,
it was said today. Judge Speer's
statement, given to the Macon News
last week, was:
If the judiciary committee, in ac-
cordance with their conception of
duty, after considering all matter
which has been submitted to it, with
draws the charges against me in a
manner as public as they have been
made | will not be unwilling to accept
retirement upon the same terms that
/ might when | reach the age of TO-"
The Webb subcommittee is con-
sidering the evidence taken in Geor-
gia and soon will be ready to formu-
late conclusions to report to the en-
tire committee for its guidance in re-
porting recommendation to the
house on the proposed impeachment
Judge Speer denied the suggestion
that he retire in any way emanated
from him, and he said he never had
contemplated such action as a result
of the house committees investiga-
ton. His statement was called forth,
he said, by an inquiry from Repre-
sentative Adamson concerning the re-
tirement reports.
The impression is gaining ground
in Washington in official circles that
the subcommittee may not recon-
mend impeachment proceedings, but
may, instead, present report to the
full committee severely criticising
Judge Speer for his conduct on the
bench.
1t is said that Mr.. Volstead the re-
publican member of the committee,
will certainly not sign a report rec
ommending impeachment; that Mr..
Fitzhenry of Illinois is in favor of
impeachment, and that Chairman
Webb is stronger in favor of a report
censuring Judge Speer for certain of
his acts.

MONEY FIRST; Then WIFE
AN AMERICAN GIRLS AGREE.
MENT WITH ENGLISH LORD.
An Astonishing Contract Whereby
Miss Mildred Sherman, Who Has
$4,000. 900. Is to Get Title.


PROVIDENCE, r. Filling of
the pre-nuptial engagement OF Lord
and Lady Canops, making the details
public for the first time, discloses
that it is an astonishing contract, in
comparison with other such arrange
ments prior to international mar
riages.
Miss Mildred Sherman, who inner
tied $12,00O,0OO from her grand
mother, the late Mrs. John Carter
Brown, married Ralph Francis Jul
ian Stoner, Lord Camoys, at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Watts Sherman, Nov 25, 1911.
On the previous Friday night Lord
Camoys, his brother, Edward Stoner,
Lawrence l.. Gillespie, brother-in-law
OF the bride, and Sherman's attor-
ney met at the Sherman home and ar
ranged the pre-nuptial contract. All
persons concerned refused to discuss
the document, although it was init
mated at the time that a trust fund
of $1,0OO,00 had been put aside for
the support of Lord and Lady Ca
moys. But in this document no such
provision as this is found. The pro-
visions of the contract are:
The agreement transfers all Of the
estate and roperty of Lady Camoys,
valued at SIP, 100000, to the control
of two trustees, Frank M. Mattison
and Fletcher S. Mason, of this city,
and provides that the income shall
be paid her until she becomes 35
years of age.
If she dies before the age of So
Lord Camoys is to be paid 100000
for his absolute use. If children are
left Lord Camoys is to receive the
income from 100000 for the re-
mainder of his life and the children
equal shares of the remaining estate
after reaching the age of 81. If the
wife should die before the age of 80
and leave no children the property
residue would all go to her sister,
Mrs. Lawrence Gillespie.
A son was born to the couple last
fall The bride did not waive her
religion, Lord Camoys getting a dis
pensation from the Pope.
