Athens, Dec. 9.-King Constantine
may have to make an early and def
mite choice between the entente and
central powers.
The allies, it is officially reported,
are retiring from southern Serbia to-
ward Greece. How far they will with
draw is not indicated, but the retire
ment results from Austro-G German and
Bulgar attacks along the allied front
with the odds two to one against the
allies.
News of the allies withdrawal has
caused the greatest excitement here, for
it is realized that with the battle ap-
preaching the Greek frontier, the king
perhaps may have to make his decision
soon between the two sides.
Reports are current that Greek auth
critics who went to Salonika to confer
with the allies, have now gone to the
frontier, empowered to deal with any
situation arising from possible allied
retreat through Greece.

WALTON COUNTY
MAY Be DIVIDED
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL

The Florala, Ala, News-Democrat,
in its last issue, printed the following:
"The voters Of Walton county will,
at an early date, sometime in Sep
TENDER, have the pleasure Of settling
the question Of county division. The
proposition is to cut of a slice of
Walton county and one off Santa
Rosa county and create new county,
Okaloosa; it was named by the last
Legislature, subject to the approval of
the people. Politicians and others
who hope to profit by a new county,
have been busy and are working every
day to win voters over to the posi-
bilities of the venture. Men well in
formed on the issue, however, say
that the proposition win be beaten TO
a fragile when the election comes off.
The argument that taxes will be in
creased is about all that is necessary
to kill a proposition in Walton county
and that is being used by the opposi-
ton.
''Thus far few good reasons in sup
port of q new county have been sd-
vanced."

reached by either right-handed or
left-handed rider. Owners of motor
cycles know what an effort it is to
hang" the stand once the engine is
started, but the new apparatus will
do away with this bother, for the re-
lease spool spring may be turned but
half way around and the stand lifts
and lodges. BY the same operation,
the spring may be dropped whenever
convenient, and there is no smearing
of the hands as is now the case.
The attachment is so simple that it
found ready endorsement with those
who have looked over a blue print

tached to motorcycles Of any type, or
even to bicycles, it looks to be a
real money-maker for the well-known

STRANGE NEGRO
SERIOUSLY CUT
NEWCOMER WAS FOUND WITH
A VERY DANGEROUS KNIFE
WOUND ON ARM, BUT CANNOT
IDENTIFY AssAILANT.

A strange darkey named Honnor
coleman, conveyed to the police sta
ton yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
had been found in the street by
policeman, with blood streaming from
the wound. Arriving at the station
he tainted one time after the other,
and was in quite serious condition
when the city physician, who had been
called, reached the station to attend
him.
When the darkey tainted several
times before the physician reached
the station, he was thought to have
been dying, but he came around all
right after a short time.
coleman said that he could not tell
why he was cut or who had used the
knife on him. He claimed to have
been attending his own business and
meddling nobody when the niger
who cut him slipped up and started
working"
It was not believed the darkey was
telling all he knew of the matter,
and later in the afternoon confessed
that the name of his assailant was
Harris, for whom the police started
searching shortly.

regarded as patentable one, but is

rights Of control IN Canada. Now
he has applied for rights to cover
sale and manufacture in foreign coun-
tries, and expects almost any day to
receive notice that such application
has been acted upon in his favor.

months. 1t is nothing else than an

STEAMSHIP IN

LEFT PORT.

Arriving late Friday, the Norwe-
gian steamship Storfund, q Munson
liner, was steamed up TO the east side
Of Muscogee wharf early yesterday
and within another quarter of an hour
naval stores cargo was being sup
piled at a rapid rate. By o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the entire con-
signment, or about 5000 barrels, had
been receipted for by the ship, and a
little later she steamed for sea, going
TO Mobile for another supply of mis-
cellaneous items and thence going to
South America.
This is just as quick dispatch as
could be desired by any skipper, and
is but what can be done in Pensacola
harbor when the needs of the case so
require.
Norwegian Steamer Leaves.
Loaded with about 900 standards of
yellow pine and hardwood lumber, the

steamer which had aboard the large
quantity of spirits of turpentine
valued at $4,000.

INSOLENT BLACK
IS BEING HUNTED

Several times complaints have been
made to the police station about the
actions Of a darkey who is described
as a light-colored, well-dressed ne
gro, who, several times and in vari-
GUS parts of the city, has taken it
upon himself to offer gross insult TO
white children and ladies.
Of course these incidents occur only
when no man or a policeman about,
but some minute descriptions have
been filed at the station, and it re-
mains for him to be presented in
court to get penalty fitting the bill
to the letter.

Hot Weather Cautions
Drink Much Water
Eat Little Meat

Keep the head cool, the feet dry,
the bowels regular. Drink plenty of
water. Cut down on the amount Of
food at least one-half. Eat little meat,
but eat freely of raw, fresh veg
etables, lettuce, celery, radishes, cab
bage, onions. Fresh air night and
day. A tepid bath every night.
Always keep Peruna handy. AT
the slightest indication of cold, take
a few doses.
If the bowels become irregular, q
few doses of Peruna will right them.
If the appetite flags and digestion
becomes poor, just little Peruna at

the beginning will save you much
time and expense.
Good habits to prevent disease, Pc
runa to correct disease if it comes in
spite of all. This is the advice of an
old, experienced physician, who is
hearty and hale Notwithstanding his
extreme old age.
The right arm Of success is good
habits. The left arm of success is a
timely remedy like Peruna. No man
can spare either arm in these days
of strenuous activity. He needs both
arms to protect himself, to protect
his home.
