BURGLARS ARE BUSY IN ANERICUS
Eight Residences Were Entered by

residence of T. n. Hawkes. was fired
when the burglar threw a lighted
match into some inflammable sub
stance. The fire was quickly extin-

At the residence Of Mrs. Phillip
Jackson the burglar was plainly OBJ

auto LICENSE Law null And VOID?
Looks as Though Money Will Have
to Be Returned to Those Who
Have Paid 1t to State.

ATLANTA.-Following the ruling
of Attorney General Warren Grice
that no apportionment of the mon
eys accruing from the sale of auto
mobile licenses under the new law
can be made owing to the inability
of the postmaster general to furnish
the state treasurer with the rural
delivery mileage of Georgia by coun-
ties, it is now suggested that the en-
tire law is null and void. This, how
ever, is founded upon Blacks inter
probation of laws, section SO, the eff
feet of which is that if statute or
any section of it cannot be complied
with the whole statute becomes void.
Attorney General Grice, after read
ing this section, declared that it ap-
peared to fit the case, although he
has given no formal opinion on the
subject. If, as a matter of fact, the
statute is void it would look as if
the money would have to be returned
to those who paid it into the state.
The probability is, however, that the
legislature will fix the law before
the courts have time to pass on 1t,
even if any one should make a test
case.

FIELDER ON The STUMP
SENATORIAL CANDIDATE SPOKE
IN NATIVE TOWN SATURDAY.
Tells What Will Be His Policy If
Elected. Was Frequently APP
nIauded BY Large Audience.

PERRY. May 9.-One of the larg-
est gatherings of business men, farm
ers and citizens of Houston county
that ever assembled at the court
house at Perry heard Thomas 5. Eel
der. candidate for United States SEN
ate. make his initial campaign speech
this morning. Every seat in the court
room and all available standing room
was occupied when Professor Green,
county school superintendent, pre-
scented the speaker. He was received
with a storm of applause.
He spoke for an hour and fifteen
minutes and was frequently inter-
rupted with applause from the en-
thusiastic crowd. During his speech
he voiced his disapproval Of the peon-
age question and attacked Governor
Slaton for not resigning the governor
ship while offering himself as a can
didate for the United States senate.
Mr.. Fielder opened his speech by
u6tldIIuS tIldI lIC 60 SC4+Aeo -
duct his campaign on the basis Of
going out and meeting the people
face to face and not by flooding the
columns of the newspapers with ad-
vertising matter and the mails with
letters, as his opponents were doing.
He said he was not financially able to
conduct a campaign of that kind.
He declared that if elected to the
United States senate he would first
of all insist upon justice for the
South, declaring that laws which are
benefit to other states are frequent
ly harmful to the South. He declar-
ed that he was against a protective
tariff and was in favor of a still fur
Their reduction in tariff rates.
He fayors national aid for the con-
struction and maintenance of public
post roads, and thinks that congress
should amend the peonage laws so
that they be more plain in their
meaning.
Mr.. Fielder announced that he was
against life tenure for federal judges,
declaring six, eight or ten-year terms
better in his estimation. He pledged
himself if elected to introduce a bill
fixing a certain term of years for the
service of these judges. He also
pledges himself to aid in the fight to
curb the growth of the federal pen
sion frauds.
He concluded his address with a
tribute to President Wilson and his
policies, and pledge to stand by the
principles of the democratic party

SNAKE KILLS A GEORGIA MULE
Was Twenty-Seven Feet Long and
Wrapped Around Victims Throat,
According to Report.


ATLANTA.-The state department
of entomology at the capitol will be
asked to trace down the facts with
the story of an alleged gigantic whip
snake which is said to have killed
a Georgia mule in the pastures of
Harry Dunn, a we'll known farmer,
last week.
The story which comes to Atlanta
is that Mr.. Dunn, attracted by the
groans and cries of pain of the mule,
went into the field and found huge
snake wrapped around the animals
throat. 1t is said that the reptile
attacked Dunn, and that he killed
it with couple of shots at close
range from his shotgun. The snake
is reported to have been q feet long.
The mule died within twenty min
utes after the snake had unwound
itself from its neck.
A whipsnake, as it is popularity
known, is species of large non-pois-
ohous blaeksnake common to Geor-
gia and other Southern states. They
have been killed in Georgia upward
of ten feet in length, but never be-
fore have the scientists at the capt.
toll or in the museum heard OF 9
specimen ranging anywhere near p
feet.

The meat PRODUCERS WILL MEET
State Convention Will Be Held i'm
Quitman on May Goth.

QUITMAN, Ga.-On May 26th a
state convention of meat producers
will be held in Quitman under the
auspices of the State Chamber Of
Commerce, and it will be the biggest
event of the kind Quitman has ever
had. Delegates from all over Geor-
gia are expected and a number of
prominent delegates from the coun-
try at large will be here, including
the president of the Chicago Pack
ers' Association, the officials of some
of the biggest railroads in the coun-
try and several government experts
in animal industry.
The convention programme will be
one of striking interest. Several
thousand feet of motion pictures, il
Illustrating various phases of the meat
industry, types of cattle and hogs,
packing and marketing methods will
be shown. Jas. E. Downing, at the
head of the pig club work III Georgia,
will show the motion picture of the
marketing of Brooks county bacon,
which was made here this spring.
1t was through the efforts of the
Industrial Club that the convention

Shrine convention Brings thousands
of Fees, Riot of Many GOlored
Banners and Oriental Music.
ATLANTA, May IA few thous-
and fezes, riot of red, green and yell
low banners, a welking ringing with
strains of oriental music have trans
formed Atlanta from a goth century
American city into a sort of fairy
tale Bagdad.
Although American stars and
stripes are periodically displayed at
occasional intervals the foreign-look-
ing Shrine colors predominate; the
tall office buildings are swathed in
the gorgeous draperies and festoons,
and the color scheme, if it suggests
anything modern at all, looks more
like Madrid on a great bull-fight day
or Mexico City in the old days of the
on-handed Diaz.
Wonderful to Behold.
The crowds in the streets are Won
derful to behold. Every other man
you pass wears a red fez in place Of
the conventional straw or felt hat;
many of Atlantas beautiful young
girls and matrons are wearing the
white fez, and scattered here and
there like peoples in a wheat field
are the luridly beautiful uniforms
of the Arab patrol and other uni
formed Shriner bodies.
The Shriners, who got in several
thousand strong yesterday, declared
that the decorations on the streets
of Atlanta surpass anything that any
American city has ever done in the
past for the Shriners.
Every train is bringing visitors lit
orally by the thousands. The Seat
tie, Wash, delegation has already
taken charge of the Piedmont, and
has hung it's own tremendous cleo
trio sign from the front, Nile, Seat
tie, 1915" They are going to pull
for the next years convention.
California in Evidence.
The California crowd is establish
ing itself today at the Kimball, and
their own electricians, here weeks in
advance, have converted the Peach
tree facade of that big building into
blazing invitation to come to Cali
fornia next year.
Peachtree and Whitehall from one
end to another will be a blaze OF
light tonight, with festoons OF cleo
trio lights in a network over head.
Atlanta has never seen anything
like it before, and though she grows
to have a million population she may
never live to see anything like Il
again.

Obituary.

On the the 18th day of March,
1914, the Death Angel visited the
home Of Mr.. George Shaw, :of
Waterford, Spencer county, KY,
and claimed for its victim his
beloved wife, Nellie. She was a
sufferer of consumption and had
been sick about three months.
Nellie Smith Shaw was born
April LIST. 1878, and was married
January 31st, 1898, to George
Shaw. God saw fit to take her
away, so He called her to come
up higher. Mrs. Shaw leaves
a husband, two children, three
sisters, two brothers, a mother
and a host of relatives and friends
to mourn their loss. Nellie has
gone to be with her father who
about seven months ago fell
asleep in the arms of Jesus.
Her place is now vacant, but
do not weep dear husband and
children, brothers, sisters and
mother, for Nellie is only asleep
in Jesus to await the resurrec-
ton morn.
Death is no respecter of per-
son, it comes to old and young
alike. If you have given your
heart you can face death with
out fear.
Her three months illness was
one continual fight to recover her
health so she could stay with her
husband and children, but such
was not the will of the Lord, so
she calmly committed herself to
the Fathers will. She delighted
to read the Bible. Many thanks
are given to friends who were
so faithful during Nellie's ill
ness.

Gently returned from Jaurez,
Mexico, when he had a string of
horses at the track, while in Lex
ington related several stories of
his experience in that revolution
ridden country, which shows the
manor of man General Villa is.
While in Jaurez, Col. Chinn
made the acquaintance of the
rebel leader and became quite
intimate with him. He told a
story here which illustrated how
the bandit general ruled with an
iron hand and how promptly he
deals with offenders.
At the time Col. Chinn was at
Jaurez a large number of rebel
soldiers were in and around the
town, and these frequently be-
came intoxicated. Strict orders
were issued by Villa to the sa-
loon keepers not to sell the SOL
diers intoXicants, but later the
violation of the order became
fragrant and many of the soldiers
were found on the street in a
drunken condition.
By the order of the rebel chief
the drunken soldiers were arrest
ed and put under guard. They
were forced to tell where they
obtained the intoxicants, which
resulted in the arrest of twenty
eight saloon keepers. Instead OF
being permitted to go on with
their business, as has been the
case in certain places not q
thousand miles from Lexington,
with violators of the saloon laws,
these twenty-eight were taken
out and promptly shot to death
by Villas orders. Col. Chinr
