To WAIT

WASHINGTON, June %.
The administration still
waited today for the Carran-
"a answer to its ultimatum
demanding the immediate re-
lease of the American troop
ers held in Chihuahua City
and a direct statement of in.
tentions of the de facto gov
ernment toward the United
States.
Although the Latin-Ameri-
can colony here has received
word through its representa-
tives in Mexico City that the
Carranza government decid-
ed unfavorably in both in
stances, the state department
still insisted that it was with
out word.
viii Address Congress.
Administration leaders said that the
President will wait twenty-four hours
additional for a reply before passing
the facts on to congress for its consid-
Grafton.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the
delay in acting officially, the Latin.
Americans again are trying to influ.
ence Carranza to cnange his attitude
and thus avert war. They are making
the most possible of an unofficial
statement. attributed to the president.
tLat IL Carranza will release the Amer.
leans and accept the agreement reach

gon, but never made effective. recog-
mixing the right Of the American ex-
pedition to stay in northern Mexico
until the de facto government can han
die the bandit situation, this govern
ment will be satisfied. But their diplo-
matte representatives here admit that
they are in no way hopeful that Car
rama will yield because of his con-
tinued assertion that all of the trouble
is due to the violation Of Mexican ter
"'tnrial integrity by the United States.

THE VALUE OF LINE.
FOR GEORGIA SOILS.

f. W H.. Madison. Ca. writes: Can lime
be used to advantage on any land for bet
ter crops? What kind should use? | have
fairly good land on which ] cannot get or
maintain a stand, and l have concluded that
il is sour. How should the lime be applied?
Lime can be used to very good adj
vantage on much of the land in Geor-
gia. 1t is best to apply the finely
ground raw rock and we think the
lime should be put on the land before
legumes are planted. In this class OF
crops would be included cowpeas, soy
beans, velvet beans, peanuts, alfalfa
and the clovers. We have not secured
any marked benefits from the use OF
lime under cereals though occa sionally
it seems to have paid under these crops
When applied under legumes, however
We have obtained decided benefits there
from and, of course, a considerable part
of the lime still remains in the soil to
aid succeeding crops. Hence, if it is
beneficial to cereals they will obtain an
indirect benefit from il when cultivated
on land which has formerly been lined
and devoted to legumes.
1t will cost you anywhere from 81
to 81 80 per ton (. o. b. the mines. Much
depends on the fineness with which II
is ground. 4 fairly coarse lime viii
prove quite satisfactory under your con.
what IL will cost you laid down i'm your
station as the freight rate is such q
variable factor that 1 can not estimate
it with any degree of accuracy.
1t is quite probable that some of ycui
land is sour as we have found consid-
cradle areas affected this way in Geor-
gia. For ordinary crops a ton of lime
will be satisfactory. Under alfalfa al
least four tons should be applied. Lime
should be put on a few days before the
crop is to be planted and should, Of
course, be applied separately and dis
tinctly from fertilizers. Do not bury
IL i'm the soil as a rule but scatter
broadcast over the soil and harrow in
1t may be distributed from a wagon OIL
by means of a shovel, but where one
desires to use large quantities it is
best applied through the agency Of &
lime distributor.

STATE ROAD VALUED
At FIFTEEN MILLION
Physical Property Is Appraised
by Engineer Hunter Nc
Donald, of N. C. & St, |,

Fifteen million dollars was the valua.
ton placed upon the physical property
of the Western q Atlantic railroad by
Hunter Mcdonald, an engineer OF the
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis rail-
road, in a statement submitted to the
railroad commission Monday in cOnnec-
tion with the petition Of the railroads
for a general revision Of Georgia intra-
state freight rates.
by physical property Is meant the
right-of-way, the track, the terminal
properties and the depots along the line.
The estimate is based upon the proba-
bic cost Of reproducing the road as it
stands today.
The value of the franchise of the road
as a going concern, the value of its
good will and the value of the strategic
location are not included in the estimate
Mr.. McDonald's estimate that the ply
steal property of the Western & Atlantic
| is worth $4,000, 600 is especially signif-
icant at this time, because of the fact
| that he is an engineer of the road
which leases the Western & Atlantic
from the state of Georgia.
His estimate goes far toward sup
porting the opinion of Comprehension
! eral William A. Wright, and others who
! have made a careful study of the sub
iect. that the Western & Atlantic rail
The estimate of the value of the West
ern & Atlantic, as submitted by Mr..

revision of Georgia interstate freight
rates. The evidence and testimony OF
| the traffic departments of the roads are
all in, and now they are giving state
ments concerning valuation, operating
revenue, operating expenses, net earn
| ings, etc.
OTHER VALUATIONS.
! Tuesday morning the representatives
! of the railroads resumed the submission
| of their valuation figures. j. e. Will
loughby, chief engineer of the Atlantic
! Coast Line railroad, stated that it would
cost s22, 351, 407 to reproduce his road in
Georgia, and that these figures did not
! include the value of land, equipment or
any of the going values.
j. A. Griffin, chief engineer of the
! Georgia Southern and Florida railroad
estimated that it would take $2,OO0,OOO
! TO replace the right of way of his road
] in this state.
Replying to inquiries by Chairman c.
! NJ. Gambler relative to how the Atlantic
/ Coast Line arrived at proper basis
| upon which to estimate the cost for re-
production of right of way. Mr. VIII
! loughby said that the value of adjoining
! land was first taken and system OF
multiples applied.
! In the case of farm land agents were
authorized to pay as much as three times
! the market value. In small towns dou-
BILE value is allowed and in large cities

of cholorform or other drugs, j. s.

that his clothes which had been placed
on a chair across the room from the
window, had been looted of fine
double-cased gold watch, valued at $3.50;
a fraternal order emblem fob, worth
$40; $24 in gold coins and pocket
knife.
The room is on the ground floor and
the window was open. The wire screen,

it had been priced out. The burglar had
to cross the room to reach the chair
on which the articles rested and Glad

how this could be, done, without waken-
ing him or his wife, unless they had
been stupefied.
The robbery was reported at once to
the police.
