GEORGIA EXHIBIT
CARS DRAW RIG
CROWDS MONDAY
INTERESTING CURIOS SEEN
AMID LARGE ASSORTMENT
OF PRODUCTS-EDUCAT'N-
AL VALUE APPRECIATED.

The large number of local people
who visited the Georgia exhibit cars
at the Coast Line station, were pleased
Ito see the interesting and estimable
show, amid which were the splendid
showing made by Georgia products.
Manager M. Lead is a man of deep
insight to advertising principles and
has gathered a show that is fully
worth the price of admission, purely
on the interest of the freaks of the
earth and the magnificent specimens
of sea life. When he operated a sim
liar train for the state of California,
he never failed to get thousands of
people to pay the price and see the
freaks and incidentally find out what
could be done in California.
Many such cars are sent out for
free exhibition and do little good be-
cause people seldom wish to go out
to learn something. Mr.. Lead appeals
to the sense of seeing something
worth while and it is surprising to
note what a magnificent advertisement
this will be for the state of Georgia
when his car goes out of the state, and
also while it remains here.
Among the exhibits is big shark
with mouth large enough to accomo-
date ten-year-old boy standing l.
inside. There are hundreds of other
interesting things gathered from all
parts of the earth
int
Georgia products. The simple fruits
of the Georgia farms that will surprise
one are there, also many of the prod
ucts from Georgia's factories and
mines. After seeing what is on that
car one can feel the greatness of this
state and know that if all the rest of
the world were suddenly submerged
in the ocean, Georgia, alone, would
be world of magnificent attainments
and amply prepared to supply the high
er tastes of the most fastidious of
mankind

up to this date, said that in order to
get CandlariO Cervantes' bandits to
fight at all, it was necessary for Col
onel George A. Dodd, the American
commander, to lead his men into po-
sition where the Villa forces ought
to have had all the best of the strate-
gic ground. These bandits, moreover,
were not outnumbered and their horses
were fresher than those of their pur-
suers. With all the advantage of po-
sition, Cervantes' men quit as soon
as night fell. Knowing that pursuit
in the darkness was not possible, Col
onel Dodd held his men on the compar-
atively disadvantageous ground until
morning, hoping that Cervantes would
remain. Daylight, however, showed
nothing in the Mexican position ex-
cept few hastily-made graves.

Ell PASO, Tex, May S.-Today's re-

the raid at Glenn Springs by Mexicans
Friday night. Later reports indicated
that the size of the attacking party
was greater than at first believed,
some estimates being as high as three

The raiders attacked the guard of
nine men of Troop A. of the Four
teenth Cavalry at Glenn Springs just
before midnight. The total number
of killed was placed at six, three sol
Idiers and three civilians. two of the
latter small boys. After continuing
their raid to Deemers and BoquilIas
they were reported to have recrossed
into Mexico, although some of the
military reports indicated that a part
of the Mixican force was yet on the
American side.

COLUMBUS, N. Mex, May 8.-De-
tails of the raid upon Glenn Springs,
Texas, transmitted to American de-
shing's line of communication, stirred
them to new activity. according to
reports here today.
In Columbus military officers mani
tested much uncertainty as to the re-
suits of the fray and pointed out that
it materially complicates the border
situation. 1t seems generally believed
that should it be deemed necessary to
dispatch second expeditionary col
umn in pursuit of the raiders some of
the one thousand men on station here
and troops encamping along the upper
end of the line of communication will
be called upon.
Townspeople in Columbus and neigh
boring towns were aroused by the re-
ports and manifested greater unrest
than at any time since the raid here
two months ago tomorrow.
Meager unofficial reports from the
expeditiOnary command indicated that
detachments of cavalry are securing
the district for agitators recently said
to have been attempting to incite the
Mexican populace to violence against
the Americans.
At military Headquarters it was said
that so far as known, Major Robert
