SALTERS NEWS SKETCHES.
Notes of Interest from Our Neigh
Dor Town.

Salters Depot, April 13:-The
balmy weather of the past few days
has made everything begin to put
on it's spring appearance, although
it has only been about week since
we had snow and ice.
Farming operations are being
pushed as rapidly as possible. Corn
has been planted and cotton plant
ing is now in progress in many
places. There is a decided cut in
the cotton acreage around here, the
land being planted in other crops.
Mr. A R Moseley. one of our pro.
gressive farmers, says he has "a
acres which he intends to plant in
beans, watermelons, sugar corn, TO-
bacco. tomatoes. hog corn, sorghum
cane, chufas, pindars and cotton.
He also says he has IS head of nice
hogs, fine poultry and pigeons, a
market garden and fine orchard.
Now, Mr. Editor, how is this for di-
versifed farming?
There has been an endemic of Ia
grippe around here during the past
two or three weeks, not a single
family having escaped. Mr. c Fow-
lers' little baby. who has been very
ill with bronchial pneumonia, is fast
improving.
Mrs Cooper, who has been quite
sick, is also improving.

TISTIcS LAW--SOCIAL AND
PERSONAL NOTES.

Benson, April l3:-UndoupIeuiF
this is the wrong time of the season
for the price of cotton to be soaring
upward. The cotton speculator will
fool a great many to increase the
acreage now, as this is the time for
planting. We can only hope for bet
ter prices than last fall, but we fear
it will be a futile hope at harvest
time, for war. war, is still the cry.
Some of the farmers have begun
planting this week.
Mrs Annie and Miss Matte Brock
inton and Miss Lois Nesmith of Ne
smith were visitors here Sunday.
Misses Pauline and Carrie Watson,
of this place, accompanied by Messrs
Harry and Billie Britton. autoed to
town Monday evening, incidentally
to take in the Chautauqua.
A box party was given Tuesday
evening at the school building to as
sist the baseball team in raising funds
to purchase uniforms, etc.
We made an error in the age OF
Mr. George Mitchum last week. His
exact age was eighty-fve years and
seven months,as given ye scribe, who
is local registrar for the bureau OF
vital statistics in Turkey township.
By the way, this is a law that few
people are familiar with, especially
in the rural districts-that each
death and birth shall be reported to
the local registrar of the township
in which death or'birth occurs, and
that any person who shall violate
this law shall be deemed guilty OF a
misdemeanor and upon conviction
shall be fined not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000. Mr. B E Clark
son was appointed for King town
shin and MIR w E Snowden for Tur-
key. The other registrars for the
eoonty we do not know, but publici-
tyecnld not be had more reliably
and extensively than through the
newsy columns of our own county
organ, The Record. W Els.
I'VE haye tried to get list Of the
township registrars, also a copy OF
the law, which we would gladly pub
lish if not too long, but 80 far no
one we have asked seems to know to
whom to apply. Perhaps our Benson
correspondent can furnish us copy
of the act. We have been asked to
publish the bird law" and the fish
law" also, but have found it thus far
impracticable for the same reason

visited Earles Graded school Friday
afternoon. The ladies were enter

of Education gave the school a nice

Mrs Beck Fulton and daughter,

Rev w H Whaley filled his regu-
lar appointment at Bloomingvale
Baptist church Sunday.
Farmers in this section are about
through planting corn. Some of
them are planting cotton and some
are setting tobacco plants. All seem
full of energy and are in good spir-
its. If nothing happens to the corn
crop this season there will be a
bumper crop in this section, as twice
the area has been planted as COM
pared with last year. l think this a
good policy. Why should farmers
and landowners buy grain and ba-
con when they have just as good op-
portunity to raise such products as
the Western farmers? There is no
way to figure any money out of cot
ton, even at 12a cents when one has
to buy everything else. Farmers.
let's get our minds settled down on
this and see first where we stand
with our hands out-spread looking
for dollar and every week with our
wagons backed up to the back door
of some mans store loading with
corn, bacon, grits and meal, to be
charged to us until we get our cot
ton. Friend, just take an hour off
to yourself with a pencil and paper
and figure out what you can make
out of cotton under these conditions.
If a farmer would plant enough
grain to supply his farm plentifully
and have about 6 to 10 bales Of cot
ton, with nothing but a fertilizer bill
to pay, he would be winner.

RUSSIANS BEATEN
. IN EASTERN GALICIA
VIENNA WAR OFFICE REPORTS
SWEEPING VICTORY OVER
FRONT OF rs MILES.
Russian Emperor Reported to Have
Assumed Command Of His Army
and Stirring Events Are Ex-
pected In Near Future.

A defeat of the Russians over q
front of about twenty-five miles In the
vicinity OF Brody. eastern Galicia, is
reported officially by the Vienna war
office. The Russians everywhere evac-
uated the positions they held. accord
ing to the report, and are being pur-
sued by the Austro-Hungarians
The report says:
I'VE captured the castle of Pod
kamien In violent hand-to-hand fight
ing; the height of Makutra, southwest
or Brody. positions near Radziwilow
and many other points of support
which were vigorously defended.
"The battle at some points contin-
ued until this morning. Beaten every
where. the enemy evacuated his ter.
rain. our troops pursuing him."
The news that Emperor Nicholas
had placed himself at the head of his
army, which he announced in a tele-
gram to Raymond Poincare, president
Of France, and the visit paid by the
French commander in chief, General
Joffre, to the Italian army foreshad-
ow, it is believed in military circles
in London, stirring events on both the
eastern and western fronts in which
the armies of all the allies will CO.
operate.
II is declared the Russians already
are nearly, II not quite. holding their
own against the Austrians and Ger
mans, whose advance at most points
has been stopped and in places are on
the offensive.
Riga remains the danger point, but
the fact that the Russians continue to
occupy the town after the Germans
have advanced to the Dvina, southeast
OF Riga, leads military writer's to the
conclusion that the Russians feel rea-
sonably sure Of their ability to defend
the river and in time to push suff-
Gent far westward to relieve the
pressure on their forces on the shores
of the Gulf of Riga.
The Anstrians and Russians are
facing each other across the Seth
river in Galicia. where the fighting is
continuous. The stands which the
Russians are making suggest that
their supply of ammunition is ample.
A Petrograd correspondent says the
ammunition shortage of the Russians
has been corrected, and that while
the production is slow it is incessant
and growing in activity and method.
For the thirteenth successive day
the allies have bombarded German po-
sitions in the west, only varying their
artillery activity by occasional air
raids, sapping and mining operations
and bomb throwing. In this fighting
the Germans are also taking part, and
success rests first with one side and
then the other
Similar activity Is noticed on the
part OF the Austro- Hungarian army
along the northern frontier of Serbia.
where the Teutons are strengthening
their positions on the rivers Save and
Danube, presumably preparatory to
new offensive movement.

rama is to take a hand in the Texas
border imbroglio. according to a state
ment by General E. p Nafarrate of
Matamoros. commanding the Carran-
xa troops opposite the Brownsville
section.
General Nafarrate said that General
Carranza wired him to enforce strict
neutrality along the border. Nafarrate
replied that to do this he must have
more troops. Nafarrate. saying that
he wished to cooperate with the
American military authorities, gave
the following outline of border fight
ing as reported from his side of the
line:
I'VE have received orders from
First Chief Carraaza to strictly OBJ

Asked why he believed rangers
might cause trouble. Nafarrate said
because they were not careful enough
to distinguish at whom they were
shooting.
