The ancient Egyptians were noted
for their crops because, as history
states, they 'sowed their seeds in the
Nile" This does not mean that they
actually cast the seed in the river. At
certain seasons of the year the Nile
overflows it's banks, depositing on either
shore a rich silt or earth that is highly
conducive to bumper crops, and the
wise ancient Egyptians, realizing this.
profited thereby.

resort hotels in Florida"
Mr.. Jewett has just closed a sue
cessful season at his Miami hotel, the

mon will be run on conservative ba-
sis, it is his intention to maintain the

AMERICANS WERE

ATTACK AT PARRAL WAS MADE
BY CARRANzA SOLDIERS AFTER
WITH GENERAL ToMPKINS.

PERSHING'S CAMP AT FRONT,

Parral, where according, to indis-
putable evidence reaching here to-
| day Carranza troops in force at
Hacked the cavalry command of Mai.
Frank Tompkins, has changed the
entire aspect of the Villa chase so
far as immediate military plans are
concerned. This attack upon an
American force which went in per
feet good faith in Parral, in the most
!friendly fashion, blocked what Seemed
to be an excellent opportunity for
either the capture of Villa or the
dispersal of one of his strongest
bands.
On April -, about noon, Mai.
Frank Tompkins of the Thirteenth
cavalry, who chased the Villa band
across the International line at Co
lumbus, went into Parral with only a
small portion of his force which to-
tailed about $50 men,, including a
pack train outfit He had troops M
and K of the Thirteenth.
Maj. Tompkins had taken the pre-
caution the night before to send word
lby messenger to the presidente of
Parral, Luis Herrera, that he would
call upon him next day to arrange
| for buying provisions and to have the
Parral military officials designate
some camping place for the Ameri-
cans outside of Parral in accordance
with the agreement by which the
American troops are not to ccupy
| Mexican cities. Maj, Tpmpkins left
most of his men outside of Parral
but took his advance guard into the
city during his call The presence
of this guard was both military
precaution considered necessary in a
l,country credited with being strongly
inclined toward Villa in sentiment and
companying commanding ha officers
when, according to Mexican Gus
toms, they pay official visits.
The presidente said he had no re-
ceived the message which Maj
Tompkins had dispatched The mes
senger was a Mexican, a Carranza

| the authorities there claimed they
had discovered this messenger had
been captured and killed by Villistas
on his way to Parral. The confer
ence in the city with the presidente
and with the Carranza general com
manding in Parral. Gen. Lozano, was
pleasant. Promises were made to
sell the Americans food and show
them good camping site. Immedi
ately the Americans started out OF
the city, accompanied by Herrera
and Leblanc, who were riding with
Maj. Tompkins.
When the Americans were out OF
the town, with the pack train al
their rear, Maj Tompkins heard fir
ing. Looking back he saw that some
one in the town was shooting at the
pack train. He had heard shouts Of

Need of the Plant.

Mr.. Taylor, when seen at :he Ogle-
thorpe last night, stated the purposes
of the local plant and the need for it.
lie stated. that two schooners were to
be constructed for the Apex Equip
ment company, large crosstie con-
Germ, of New York, of which Mr.. Hink-
ley is secretary. He explained that
this company had been doing more or
less business through Brunswick for
the past five years, maintaing a branch
office in Jacksonville. Just at pres
ent this company, like all others, is
experiencing much difficulty in secur-
ing vessels to handle their cargoes
and, as a result, the crossties are lying
on the wharves. Some time ago the
matter was taken up and it was de-
cided to build schooners of sufficient
size to handle large cargoes of ties.
Mr.. Taylor stated that plans and
specifications have already been pre-
pared for the construction of four A.
masted schooners, two for the Apex
York company in which he is connect
ed with and acting for. He stated that
Capt. Nilsson would remain in Bruins
wick and at once get the work started.
Within a week or ten days it is plan
ned to begin work at he site, and
within a month machinery, timber,
ETC., will begin to arrive.

Creates Deep Impression.

RIO DE JANEIRO, April 21.-The
publication of the American note to
Germany created dep impression
upon public opinion and the press.
The Journal do Commercial says:
"The United States, profoundly i'm
pressed by the responsibility it as.
sumed in the American continent by
the proclamation, adoption and
preservation of the Monroe doctrine,
feels clearly that if Germany is vic
torious, sooner or later she will turn
against the United States the power
full weapons which will have con
quered the great strength of the al
lies. The expected action of presi-
dent Wilson yesterday will be for
ward-march singal to the mighty
American nation"
The Gadeta de Norticias says:
North America by her diplomatic
attitude makes herself the leader of
the neutral nations against piracy"
The Epoca holds that Germany's
war methods place her in political
circles outside the human pale and
expresses no doubt that in case of
war the United States will rally all
the South American countries.
