Fines Remitted

Washington, September 25.--unwill- lngness of the United States to reap financial benefit from Its occupation of Vora Cruz today resulted in the remit ting of fines totalling nearly $500, 900 assessed against the Hamburg Ameri- can steamers Bavaria, Ypiranga and Dania shortly after the American occu- patton of Vera Cruz. The fines were imposed on the ground that the vessels Tailed to land at Vera Cruz packages of cargo which their manifests showed were intended for that port
 A statement by Secretary Daniels says in part:
 The lines were imposed, broadly speaking. because the vessels had upon tnelr man1fests packages of cargo (mainly wire. carbolic acid, railway material and arms and ammunition which were consigned to the port of Vera Cruz, but were not unloaded there. As a matter of fact in each instance the packages in question were unloaded at another port in the republic of Mex ico"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-26
Garrison Opinion

The substance of the opinion of the secretary of war Is as follows:
 That the United States government had adopted as a rule for its guidance at the port of Vera Cruz the existing Mexican laws on the subject; the pur- pose of which was to prevent snug sling, but since the goods in question were entered in the republic of Mexico through customs houses. there was no aspect of the case in which it would have been just for the republic of Mex jco, had 1t been still In control of this port, to have subjected to vessels to any fine. The only issue, therefore, was whether the United States govern naent, which would have received the duties if the goods had been entered through the port of Vera Cruz, had such an interest in the matter as would cause it to insist upon the fines be- cause the goods had not been entered through the port of Vera Cruz
 ''Fhe secretary says that 1t has not been disclosed that the United States government has any intention of utiliz- Ing its occupation of the port of Vera Cruz to obtain financial benefit to it. self and therefore it does not desire to insist upon the collection of these fines and thereupon remits them"

community, anywhere can show bet
ter people or better farmers than
you will find in Terrell county; it is
certainly Gods country and God s
people.
The roads of Terrell county are
the very best. Being of sand-clay
construction, they very seldom get
in a bad condition. We claim more
miles of public roads and more of
better roads, than any county of our
size in the state; they are worked by
convicts under the direction of
a very competent board of county
commissioners and a splendid road
overseer or superintendent. Most OF
our streams are being spanned by
steel bridges and soon all wooden
structures will be replaced with steel
or concrete. You will, often, see a
twomule team easily pulling into our
towns 10 to IA bales Of cotton on
one wagon; the question is, always,
what will the wagon bear, not what
the team can pull.

Terrell county was not one OF the
original counties of Georgia, put was
made bv an act of the legislature,
approved February 10th, 1886, and
was taken from Lee and Randolph
counties. and afterwards a small part
was taken from Sumter county ana
added to it. Under the act creating
Terrell county a provision was made
for an election to be held at the va
rious voting precincts then in the ter
ritory included in the new county on
the 18th day of April, 1856, and the
votes to be consolidated at the resi-
dence of Moses H. Baldwin, when
was the home of Mr.. Baldwin up 10
the time of his death, and Whlch Is
now known as the old Baldwin nome
place and owned by Mr.. r. &. NC
Dowell. At this election the follow
ing county officers were elected ana
commissioned: Jesse NJ. Davis, Rlch-
ard R. Roby, F. Pennington, SeaDorh
j. Thomas and Harvey Collins, JUS
tees of the inferior court, these JUS
tees having about the same authof-

Daniel Leslie, clerk of the inferior
court; James w. Johnston, tax col
lector; Isaac Abbott, tax receiver;
Bright w. Trewitt, coroner; Danlel
Lawhon, surveyor, and Danlel r.
Lawhon, by appointment, treasurer
These were Terrell's first county OF
ficers. The justices of the inferior
court were authorized and built our
first court house and jail, whlch
were used until the present ones
were built. in 1892 and 1898; they
also laid out the county in militia
districts, but which have been since
changed.
Under a special act of the legisia-
ture, approved December 10, 1893 a
board of education was established
Tor the county, and Moses ID. BaIo-
win, P. R. WelIborn and Eli G. Hill
were made county school commls-

By special act of the legislature
approved December 22d, 1851 the
town of Dawson was chartered OF

ARMY MULE ARRIVES IN MEXICO
The Long-Eared Missourian Can't
Stay Away From War.

You may have noticed that the
army mule has arrived in Vera Cruz.
The correspondents say he kicked up
his heels when he walked off the
boat. 1t was the mules way of ex-
pressing his delight at reaching the
front"
Lincoln's comment that while he
had no difficulty in creating brlga-
der generals, he couldn't make army
mules, had in it a book full of wis
dom. Wherever there is war there
is mule.
A naval war without ships would
be no stranger sight than an Amerl-
can army on the move without It's
mule. The mule carries the load. He
feeds the army. He helps drag the
big guns. He brings up the ammu-
milton. He hauls the tents. he
carries away the wounded
The mule is as sure-footed as fly
He rivals the camel in ability to en-
dure without water. He is a Mrs.
Parkhurst when it comes to fasting.
julius Caesar knew the mule, but
he never saw such as are bred in
Champ Clark's houn' dawg state.
Missouri mules helped the English
lick the Beers, they went with the
allied armies to Pekin, they followed
our flag to the land of the savage
Moros, and if need be, he will be one
of the first to set foot on the wide
thoroughfares of Mexico City.
Hamlet might remain out of the
play, but the mule can't stay away
from war.

able meeting on the field Of honor
