BOY LOCKED IN CAR
LAD UNCONSCIOUS FROM STAR
WALTON WHEN RELEASED.
When Revived He Told Remarkable
Story of Being Thrown in the
Car hY TramDS.

SUFFERN, N. $50 weak he
could not stand John McClay, ten
years old, was found in a locked box
car in the yards of manufacturing
company here tonight. He was sent
to the Suffern hospital, and after be-
! ing nourished and strengthened he
j told a remarkable story of how he
| had been thrown into the car by
tramps at Passaic, N. j., and locked
in. He said he had suffered since
Wednesday morning without food or
water.
Always fascinated by locomotives
the boy had stopped to watch the en-
gines in the yards of the Erie rail
road at Passaic while on his way
from is home in Garfield, suburb,
to school. Two roughly dressed men
asked him to carry pail of water
for them, he said. He went with
them, but found that they had no
pail. He became frightened, and as
he started to run away they threw
him into the car.
They locked the door on me-" he
said, and called to me that they
would be back soon with the water
and some food. l was still for long
time and then started to yell and
beat my hands on the door OF the
box car. l kept this up all day, but
no one heard me.
1T was long after dark that the
car started to move. Then | was
thirsty and hungry. l heard the
brakeman walking on top of the car,
but they did not hear my calls.
Il hammered and yelled all night,
but no one opened the door, and the
train was still moving when | fell
down. After that did not remem-
Der anything until they woke me here
in the hospital. My tongue was so
big it filled my mouth"
When the car was opened and the
unconscious boy taken to the hospital
his father, James D. McClay, a mer-
chant of Garfield was called to the
hospital. The police of many cities
have had trouble with tramps III the
last few days and guards at the sta
lions and freight yards have been
increased.

SNAKE TAKES LONG JAUNT TO MACON
Found i'm Case of Lithia Water That
| Came From Above Atlanta.

Found i'm Case of Lithia Water That
Came From Above Atlanta.
The Macon Telegraph says big
black snake caused CONSERVATION at
the Benscot Water agency on Cotton
avenue.
1t seems that the snake had found
it's way into one of the carbon cases
in which the water is shipped to Ma
con, and evidently slept soundly all
the way from Austell Springs, above
Atlanta.
w. C. Branan, employed in the
agency, lifted a carbon of the water
from the case in the rear room, and
saw the snake coiled up at the bot
tom. He caught hold nf it by the
head, and the snake resenting the
abrupt disturbance of its nap coiled
itself around one of Mr.. Branan's
legs.
The negro porter, who was shaving
ice in the room, knew nothing of
the snakes presence until Mr.. Bran
an asked for an ice pick to kill it.
Then he looked, and one glance at
the snake coiled around Mr.. Branan's
leg was enough. He dropped the ice
plane, gave whoop and shot out the
back door.
Mr.. Branan then killed the snake,
which was a fine specimen. The
wonder is that it did not wake up
in its journey to Macon.

FIFTY CARS OF CATTLE
WILL BE SHIPPED TO THE WEST
FROM COLQUITT COUNTY.
Many Hundred Wiregrass Cows Have
Already Gone From This Section.
Buying Up Calves, Too.

That fifty carloads of Colquitt
county cattle would be shipped from
Moultrie to points in the West within
a few days was announced this morn
ing. 1t is understood that requisi-
ton for the cars has already been
made and that the movement would
be made during the latter part of this
week or early next.
This is by far the largest shipment
ever made at one time from this
point. Up to this date one road out
of Moultrie during the past few
weeks has carried twenty-five cars Of
cattle from MOultrie, while an equal
number has no doubt been hauled by
the other roads entering the city.
Buyers representing ranchers and
packers from the West are cOmbing
this entire section and buying not
only the COWS, but calves are being
corraled. Most of the cattle are rout-
ed through Birmingham, it is under
stood. At that point all of them that
are suitable for beef purposes are
sold there, while those needing fat
tening are shipped to the Western
ranches. The calves are sent to New
Orleans and handled as veal.
The buyers are by no means con-
fining their operations to Colquitt
county, but all sections of South
Georgia as we'll as North Florida are
being denuded of cattle.
Some people think that it is good
sign and that the wiregrass COW will
be replaced with better stock, while
others view the situation alarmingly
and say that it will take a long time
to replenish the stock now being sold.

tom WATSON IS AGAIN INDICTED
Indictment Substantially the Same as
One That Was Formerly Thrown
Out OF the Court.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-The United States
district court this afternoon returned
an indictment against Thos. E. Wat
son charging him, in six counts, with
sending alleged obscene matter
through the United States mails.
S. G. McLendon, counsel for Wat
son, asked that Judge Sheppard set
an early date for trial of the case, in
that his client was ready to go to
trial at once. but the case has not
been dated on the court calendar for
this term, and probably will not be
taken up.
The indictment is substantially the
same as one returned by the grand
Jury at the last term of the federal
court here, and which was thrown
/ out by Judge Sheppard on the
ground that it was improperly drawn
and would not stand.

THEY FUSS and FUhE
SENATORS GET MIGHTY HOT
OVER LITTLE PRAIRIE DOG.
Co,opeI II. RS. Pet Word Is Used in
Discussion. Ashurst Hurls "tais-
itier' at BristOw in Debate.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-Prairie
docs stirred up more trouble in the
senate today than tariff, currency,
tolls or woman suffrage had done in
the entire session. Before the furry
was over one senator had denounced
orother as "falsifier," and democrats
had been accused of converting the
nartv's economy pledge into satire.
If all came about by Senator Ash
rrst being absent from the senate
when it agreed to a 1925, 000 item in
the agricultural appropriation bill
for investigation of noxious farm
animals. Today the senator asked for
q reconsideration that he might in
sert a $4,000 increase for the inves-
tfgation of the methods Of extermi-
mating the prairie dog, which he said
had nprooted whole townships in Ar
iona
Senator Bristow remarked that an
appropriation for an determination
of prairie dogs was the most asinine
thing he had ever heard Of, because
every farmer knew how to get rid
OF them.
Everything I do seems assinine to
the senator from Kansas" retorted
Senator Ashurst.
Started Up Anew.
The storm then promised to pass
over, but Senator Gronna started 1t
IT'D anew by answering a remark of
Senator Bristow by declaring with
some heat that certain senators could
be facetious about everything.
Il am not in favor of calling out
the army and navy to exterminate
the prairie dog" Senator Bristow re-
Piled. This thing looks to me like
a strained effort to get an appropria-
ton to give somebody some jobs.
mo one could make that statement
whose brains were not at the base
of his tongue instead of his head,
shouted Senator Ashurst, as he ad-
vanced across the chamber toward
the Kansas senator. Amy senator
who says I am seeking to get some
Jobs by this item speaks what is
false and knows he is a falsi1er.
The roll call on reconsideration
cut short the debate. Reconsidera-
ton was defeated by a tie vote of
&c to 26. Senator Reed then took
the floor to denounce the entire bill,
declaring many items in it unjusti-
fable and that the talk of economy |
had been converted into a satire.
A committee amendment to the
bill providing a 100000 appropria-
ton for demonstration and live stock |
Improvement was ruled out on a |
point of order, but a $4,000 item
for the same work was left in.

A RECIPE FOR LIVING A LONG TIME,

How long the individual may expect to live has
been a subject Of dispute for a very long time and
it remains unsettled One of the we'll known ply
scians Of this country declares that he is going to
live 100 years He has lived now between seventy
and eighty of them and declares that no younRster
Of twenty is more alert and has better health
than he
Premier Okuma Of Japan declares that he in
tends to live TO he 1876 years and insists that there
age life Of mankind should not be at least 100,
assuming naturally that accidents are barred or cs-
capped
Many will hold that such aspirations are sub
cct TO discount and yet there are so many eX-
amplcs Of the centenarian and of those who live
quite number of years beyond the completion Of
a century TO encourage others into the hope that
by right methods Of living they can have far longer
span Of life than is the rule
One difficulty is to know what is the right
kind Of living for each constitution aud tcmperO-
mcnt The only thing to he avoided in this mat
ter perhaDs is too great solctudc and too much
concern for the things Of this life and the next

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS
THE EXPOSITION BUILDING ASSURED.

At last it may safely be said that the Okla
homa building at the Panama-PaclIic exposition
at San Francisco il assured The members OF the
Chamber Of Commerce and GoyemorElect VIII
hams have become interested in it and will help
push it to completion
II is proposed to have the state Appropriate
$1,000 for the maintenance Of the building, and
there will be other ways Of raising money. Pres
dent Colcord of the Chamber of Commerce has ap-
pointed committee composed of strong business
men to assure the exposition authorities that the
Oklahoma building will be erected This will re-
suit in holding the site which there was danger
Of losing
Oklahoma citizens have not done as well as they
might have done in the effort to raise funds for
the state building at the big exposition but per
haps they are not to blame The efforts Of thosewho
took upon themselves the burden of raising the
funds have been most admirable They have par
tally succeeded and they have worked ceaselessly
TO accomplish the task.
Ii is fitting that others should come in now and
give their assistance The wealthy men of the state
owe il TO Oklahoma to help with the effort. They
should make up all that is lacking without being
asked for it. II is also proper that the state should
help with an appropriation.
AT any rate Oklahoma must be represented at
the PanamaPacifc exposition at San Francisco
next year and there must be crcdtahe building
and exhibit for this state Every resident knows
that it would be discrcditahle to the state to not
he represented The proposed appropriation Of
So 600 to maintain the building which Governor
Williams will ask is not too large n sum

BASIS OF THE coUNTRY's WEALTH.

Agriculture is the basis of the cOuntry's wealth.
That fact has been admitted for years and years
The farm wealth Of the United States is now esti-
mated at forty billions, but Nt the same time the
farmer is experiencing many drawbacks and diff
Guilty in making both ends meet
At the Interstate Agricultural congress at st
Joseph, W C. Brown, former railroad president
and now an Iowa farmer said: ''The establish
ment of farm credits is one of the most important
questions now before the nation The farmer is
paying twice the interest he should Long time
loans at low rate would enable the farmer to
properly finance his work and il is in this financ
ing upon which depends 70 a large degree the
prosperity of the country
There has been considerable expenditure Of
sentiment on the " "back-tO-thc farm movement
Because our cities are filling mp with foreigners
the political economists and other people who are
endeOyoring to benefit their fcllowmen have an
idea that Strcter attention to agriculture will fur
nsh employment for thousands and result in an
increase in food products
II the farmer can not secure credit his case is
hopeless, ~ he can secure credit he should not be
called upon TO pay interest which will reduce his
yearly profits to n minimum. The period when
the agrculturist seeks to move his crops is de
cidedy trying, If he can not secure transporta-
tion his labor comes TO naught Between high in
terest and lack of transportation the average
farmer experiences difficulty in making both ends
meet
or course there are very prosperous agricul.
turists, but they are the exception The estab-
lishment OF farm credits ought to work wonders.
There can be no doubt that the innovation would
at least save thousands Of tllers Of the soil from

SOME CABINET CHANGES RUMoRED

II would be strange indeed il there were no
speculation about cabinet changes when the mem
bers of that body are found arguing in their re-
ports against the position Of the president him
self
President Wilson's speech in the form of an
annual message ridicued the idea of investigation
OF preparation for defense but the secretary of
war minimized our resources and urged very
strongly that because our militia amounts 10 lit.

be an expansion Of the army ON the regular es.
tablishment by many thousands more than is the
present legal allowance
II would be good thing if army expansion
were made automatic That is. proportioned 20
the number of people in the union and the amount
Of work that the army has to do Such basis
could readily be established and the plan then
followed out without the perpetual friction
II took thirty years work and then required
a Secretary Root to get the army reorganiEed from
the old, inefficient and Anticipated basis to the
modern one Of a sound organization as far as il
goes Perhaps s6me other secretary Of war will
