Find Guns spiked.

Accordingly a lieutenant and thres
soldiers got into the car and It moved of
outside the city. They passed trenches
| with barbed wire barricades and many
batteries OF heavy guns which had beer
spiked by the defenders before theiI
flight, also heaps OF Belgian uniforms
and kits that had been thrown away
Presently they arrived at deserted fort
they could go no further as the bridge
had been blown up
Then the lieutenant hoisted his
handkerchief as a white flag as he was
doubtful whether the district was yet
clear Of Belgians. The party then passed
along lanes unmarked on German maps.
- To all my questions said the corre-
spondent, the lieutenant evasively ans
wered by asking whether my car was fast
enough for his purpose. Only when l

"'Surely they won't touch the Germans

along the inner line of forts and at last
reached Cappelin, where the lieutenant
entered the town hall
Welcome white FIas.
Such a crowd gathered around the car
while We waited that the burgomaster
came on the steps of the hall and said
that the appearance OF the Germans must
not frighten the people. L told him OF
my conversation with the commander at
Antwerp and he at once informed the
people they could safely return home.
His news was received with loud cheers
I'VE continued our journey to Putten
and encountered two streams OF refugees,
one flying from Antwerp and the other
already returning, so that our progress
was slow. Many of them were very glad
when they saw the white f1ag crying that
peace had come.
In the distance We saw a solitary Bel
gisn soldier come out of a house and look
at the Germans with eyes full of hatred.
As we approached he sprang on a bike
and dashed off. We saw many other
solitary Belgian soldiers in the distance
and the lieutenant seemed very sorry that
he could not arrest them as he was
motoring under a white flag.
Antwerp Is now q strange city of
silence. Streets, avenues. quays and sta
lions all are curiously empty and only
here and there do you see citizens scuf-

NEW YORK.-A Northampton,
Mass, dispatch to the World quotes
former President William Taft, in an
address before 1900 Smith College
girls as follows:
Washington looked into life's
problems with red blood in his veins.
He had self-restraint, and it is not
best to emphasize the fact that at
times he might have used profanity.
He may have said things that would
not look we'll in a public address,
and in this respect l feel profoundly
for him.

better what l mean if you had been
president. You would know surely
if you had tried to convince a sena-
tor. Washington talked over treaty

ATHENS, Ga.-A moving picture
outfit recently purchased for use in

drawing great crowds to various
places where the farmers schools
are being held a week at a place. The
movies were used first in Stewart
county, drawing large crowds, and
enlisting wild enthusiasm from the

club parade in Atlanta was shown
and the corn club winner OF Stewart
county came into view.
Pictures are being taken with eV-

During the past week while Prof.
G. w. Firor was at Quitman he was

something falling onto the porch roof
and humping noisily down, and go
ing out into the yard found a two

claw marks on it's sides, showing that
it had been the prey of a fish hawk,
the bird probably dropping it when
chased by an eagle, something which

CONGRESSMAN SILENT
GEORGIANS WILL NOT DISCUSS
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
With Their Own SkilIets to Tote
They Don't Want to Get Mixed
Up in ANY Other Fray.

WASHINGTON, d. C.--Interest in
Washington in Governor Slaton's SEN
atorial appointment centered about
the fact that none of the members
of the Georgia delegation here would
make statement for publication re-
garding Governor Slaton's choice. All
know Col. West and most of them
had served IN the legislature with
him and knew him Intimately, and
all admired and liked him greatly.
But for publication, not a word.
Newspaper correspondents took
this as an indication that fight in
Georgia over the senatorial and gu
bernatorial races is confidently ex-
pected by the delegation. One quo
tation mark might force congress
man into the heat of the fray to sink
or swim with the faction whose
cause he might have innocently es-
poused. Hence the systematic 81
lence.
Representative Hardwick made
public a letter to his district which
shows beyond doubt that he will be
a candidate for the short term. The
letter was addressed to M. E. Bell,
chairman of the democratic execu-
tive committee of the Tenth district,
and stated that Mr.. Hardwick would
not be a candidate for reelection to
congress. 1t said nothing of the SEN
atorial situation and he made no
comment beyond stating that he will
make aformal announcement Of his
make formal announcement of his
intentions in a few days. That he
will run is regarded as certain.
Another development which pre-
cludes the possibility of Col. John I.
Boifeuillet's running for congress
was the definite announcement from
Representative BARTLETT, made infor-
mally through a letter to his secre-
tary, that he will be candidate for
reelection. This had been expected
for several weeks, but Judge Bartlett
had reached no definite decision un-
til he went to Macon.
Colonel Boifeuillet stated that he
has made no plans for the future 9TH
er than that he expects to return to
Georgia. He will probably engage in
newspaper work unless he runs for
the senate. He declined to serve as
secretary to the new senator, though
expressing his appreciation Of the Of
fer. He sent telegram to Colonel
West congratulating him.

THE RAGGED MOUNTAIN TRAIL.

The Camden Herald reports that
Ragged Mountain, the second highest
elevation in Camden, can now easily be
assembled by new trail starting from
Pleasant View Farm just beyond Hos
mer's Pond Mr.. Nash, who owns most
of the land traversed by the trail, lent
his own services in laying it out and has
generously arranged place where auto
mobiles or teams may be left by, parties
climbing the mountain. The path starts
at the side of his stable and continues
through the fields and pastures to the
first rise which enters the woods. 1t is
plainly marked by strips of white cloth
and blazed trees. Most of the distance
it follows the old log road and at several
places there are good view points. Near
the top it energies on a bold ledge with
wonderful view. A short path through
the underground leads to the open sum
nit, rounded ledge with a copper spike
indicating the boundaries of three towns
Camden, Rockport and Hope. On one
side one looks down into Mirror lake,
and chain of other lakes; on the other,
into Hosmer's pond, while in front is the
ocean. There are several slightly Lodges
affordlng wide views, and offering shelter
from wind ard sun.

for such appurtenances.
WISE ECONOMY.
Wise economy demands the discrimin-
ating selection of each and every item
of dress and little care and study OF
individual needs will go long way to-
ward preventing costly mistakes.
The correct model in corset is essen
tial for the proper poise and effect OF
dress, but now that the American manu-
facturer provides authoritative models in
types to suit every variety of figure, and
at prices to suit any purse, it is not diff
ficult to be correctly corseted. Warner

VOGUE OF EMBROIDERIES.
One of the most notable trimming
touches seen on the late models, is in
the form of embroidery done on the
dress fabric. Beads, especially in jet
and steel, are extensively used in these
parnitures. In many cases the whole de-
sign is developed in beads, but more
often these are used in combination with
embroidery stitches wrought in silk,
chenille, or even wool, while metal thread
makes most effective embroidered trim.

The Tide Turning.
Wilson and Bryan Losing Ground.

NISOH anu DiyoA AoohhS 0Ao~AAA~~'
WASHINGTON, Sept. II, 1914. For the
first year of President Wilson's admin
istration his wish and word were the
rule and law of his party. Things are
not going that way now. Congressman
Hammond, a Democrat, with the pres
tige of three successful elections in Re-
publican district in Minnesota, and with
all the patronage of the President behind
MIN, was nominated for Governor by
less than a thousand majority over the
weakest kind of candidate, the purpose
of whose candidacy was a mere protest
against the administration.
TEXAS AGAINST WILSON.
Texas was another Wilson stronghold.
Texas is the home of Postmaster Burle-
son, the Presidents most powerful pat
ronage dispenser All the power of the
administration directed by Mr.. Burleson
at Washington and differed on Texas
soil by Chairman Henry, to whom Mr..
Wilson himself ascribed credit for the
great part Of his success at Baltimore,
were used to nominate Ball of Houston
as governor. The Texans nominated
Balls rival, Ferguson, by majority of
10000.
BRYAN LOSES IN NEBRASKA.
But here's better one. William Jen-
nings Bryan's own State has turned
against him. The issue on which Bryan
was defeated was President Wilson's ap-
pointment of Thomas D. Jones. "dum
nv" director of the International Har-
vester Company, as president of the new
banking and currency board. Jones was
successfully opposed by United States
Senator Hitchcock, a Nebraska Demo-
crat. The Nebraska State convention
was coming on and it was greatly i'm
portant that the peerless leader be in
dorsed in his own State, so orders were
issued to Charles Bryan, who always eX-
ecutes the will of his brother, to prevent
the endorsement of Senator Hitchcock In
the ones matter at all hazards.
Charles Bryan got busy. But after
strenuous efforts all he could do was to
head off an endorsement of Hitchcock at
Lincoln. All the other counties in the
S tate rallied to Hitchcock's support, and
in spite of Bryan endorsed Hitchcock's
su ccessful opposition to Mr.. Wilson S
dummy" director. The issue was made
clear that the endorsement of Hitchcock
was slap right in the face for the Will
son administration, and it looks like
Bryan and the administration took the
slap.
The action in Nebraska is regarded of
great political Importance, because it was
the Peerless Leaders State whose de-
fection led by Bryan at Baltimore, paved
the way for Wilson's nomination. Ne
braska has been divided in its allegiance
between Bryan and Wilson on the one
hand and Senator Hitchcock on the
other. Hitchcock supported Champ
CLARK In view of the fight that Mr..
Clark will make on Wilson in 1916, de-
vehopments in Bryan's State are regard
ed as highly significant.

NEW MILLINERY.
The best hats shown at exclusive Fifth
Avenue shops, are decidedly simple in
line, and very sparingly trimmed. Trans
parent brims that had a great vogue in
the late summer are little seen. Small
black velvet or satin shapes with touch
of tinsel in their garnitures are decided
ly in the lead, though we will probably
see good many colored velvet hats later
on especially in tete de-naigre or very
dark brown, and in the deep royal purple
that blends so perfectly with the pre-
vailing dark blue serge suits and dresses.
