To Americus is accorded the distinc-
ton of having shipped the first car
load of that queen of peaches, the
glorious Elbertas, leaving Georgia this
season, thus putting the kibosh on ths
little peach towns up the Central rail-
way. The Americus shipment, solid
carload of beauties, each with blush
ing pink cheeks and altogether lus-
cious, went forward to the north Sat
urday night, and is due to reach New
York this morning, fresh and fine, and
worth their weight in gold. While
other varieties of the genus peachus
is in demand now, there is no othe-
variety that equals the demand for the
Elbertas. The rep of this Georgia
queen is so favorably known that con-
noisseurs will have no other peach,
and several fattering offers for the
Americus car were turned down before
the shipment left the yards here upon
the long journey northward.

BRUTAL FATHER

HIS DAUGHTER HIS SLAYER
Girl Tells Story of Crime
and Goes Free

Whigham, Ga, July 13-Clifford
Powe, "a years old daughter of H.
Preston Powe, a widely known Grady
county farmer, who was found in his
bed yesterday morning dead from a
gunshot wound last night, told a cor
oner's jury that she had slain her
father, as he slept, because of repated
attacks on her. Her mother and sisters
corroborated her declarations of her
fathers brutality.
She was freed on a verdict of justi-
fable homicide. The young woman s
statement came after an all day prob =
that had turned suspicion against
Howard, her IS year old brother, and
had caused his arrest.
While Mrs. Powe, the mother, was
on the stand the young woman came
to the inquest and made her statement
after all had been excluded from th9
room except court attaches.
She declared that her father had
repeatedly attacked her. and had come
to her room after midnight yesterday
She followed him to his room, she
said, and when he slept fired into the
back of his skull with a shotgun, kill
ing him instantly. II was also declar-
ed that Powe had attacked his other
daughters.

REBELS ASSAULT
WELL FORTIFIED
San LUIS POTOSI

Saltillo, Mex, July 13.-Fighting al
ready has commenced at San Luis Po-
tosi. Engagements of outposts de-
signed by the constitutionalists to es-
tablish the federals' strength and posi-
tion are of daily occurrence, according
to reports received here by General
Carranza. These actions are careful
reconnoisances.
According to information secured ty
the constitutionalists, General Gustayo
Mas and his forces, estimated at not
less than 10000 men, strongly IL
trenched within the city, will defend
the stronghold to the last.
1t is not believed that Mas will at
tempt sally, such as proved so dis
astrous for the federals at Ahualuco
outside Guadalajara, but will make
his stand within the city.
General Gonzales, constitutionalist
commander of the division of the north
east, who will lead the main attack oi
San Luis Potosi, today declared that
while he anticipates desperate resist
ance, he is confident Of speedy victor!
for his forces.
The moral effect of the Guada,ajar7
victory has been enormous.

Of Americus friends of the bride and

was solemnized Sunday evening ir

her departure from Americas a year

Carl Wall. The bride is very attract,

court of the land Whether he still
cherishes that ambition is not known
here.
When it was reported last winter
that Justice Lurton was about to re-
tire, it was suggested Mr.. Taft might
be offered the place, but it was stated
at the white house that his name
had not been mentioned.
In official circles it is not thought
likely that the president will appoint
a member of the cabinet, because of
his desire to go through his term
without change in his official family.
Before the death of Justice Lurton,
the supreme court was made up of six
republicans and three democrats. BY
his death the democratic representa-
tion on the bench is reduced to two
Chief Justice White and Associate
Justice Lamar. Under the circum-
stances, it is thought likely that the
president will name a democrat for tine
vacancy. Furthermore, there has been
an unwritten law in the senate, which
must confirm the nomination that tho
minority representation shall not fall
below three at any time.
Belief was expressed in congress
today that the president would make
the appointment before adjournment
so that the nominee may be confirmed
in time to take his seat in the court al
the beginning of the fall term in Oc-
tober.

WILSON'S POLICY
IS PRAISED BY
BUSINESS men
ARE AFTER The TRUSTS
Business Conditions Are I'm.
proving

Washington, D. c., July 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson is not disturbed by re-
suits of the referendum conducted
last week by the chamber OF com
merce of the United States on his
antitrust program. He believes that
the question sent out by the chamber
referred more specifically to the
Clayton antitrust bill as it passed the
house and that therefore the replies
do not bear directly on the situation
at present, since the Clayton bill has
been materially changed since it reach
ed the senate.
The president told callers today
that he still felt the business men @!
the country were in accord with him
on securing antitrust legislation st
this time.
Mr.. Wilson continued today his con-
teyences with business men on con-
ditions throughout the country and
! their bearing on the antitrust pro-
gram. He saw Raphael Herman, &!
Detroit, and Joseph G. Branch, OF
Chicago. Other conferences of a sim
liar nature will be held at the white
house later this week. Mr.. Herman
told the president that in his opinion
business men generally agreed, that
antitrust legislation should be put
through at the present session ot
congress and that business conditions
generally were improving.
