SENATOR GOOLSBY
FIGHTS INTRUDER
Nick Lamar Cut While Trying to Rob
Pocket. Placed Under Two Hun
dred Dollar Bond.

ATLANTA.-Dr. R. E. Goolsby,
aged Sc, of Monticello, senator from
the Twenty-eighth district, caused the
arrest Wednesday afternoon of a
man who gave his name as Nick La
mar, formerly bartender of Colum-
bus. The senator claimed Lamar en-
tered his room Friday afternoon
while he was taking nap. He says
he was awakened by some one fun
bling in his pockets and saw Lamar
standing over him, having secured
his purse.
According to the senator, Lamar
seized a bottle and struck him over
the head, whereupon the doctor drew
his knife and slashed his assailant on
the body and face. Lamar was taken
to Grady hospital, where his wounds
were dressed, and then was removed
to police headquarters.
Lamar was placed under S2OO
bond. He explained to the court that
he had been directed to room where
he could get a drink, and must have
found the wrong number. The case
against Senator Goolsby was dis
missed,

RAY GAMBLED WITH
FEDERAL MONEY
Must Spend Two Years in Pen or
Pay Government $2,45O.lz.
Exonerates His Wife.

ALBANY, Ga.-John W. Ray, of
Philema, whose wife is postmistress
at that place, entered a plea of gull
ty today to the charge of embezzling
S2,45O.12 of postoffice funds. He
declared that his wife had no cOnnec-
ton with the crime, and that he took
the money without her knowledge.
Ray made a clean breast of it. He
stated that he lost a considerable sum
of the postoffice money gambling,
and that finally, in an effort to re-
coup his losses, he dropped $1,000 in
a poker game in one night. This was
on May 20 last, he said.
A strong appeal was made for len
iency for Ray, whose wife is sick.
Judge Lambdin stated that he had
been impressed with the candid state
ment Of the prisoner, but could not
make mockery of justice. He SEN
fenced Ray to serve two years in the
Atlanta penitentiary or pay the full
amount of the defalcation. Ray is
making strong effort to raise the
money with the help of friends.

NEW YORK.-Colonel E. H. R.
Green, son of the late Mrs. Hetty
Green, says that he and his sister,
Mrs. Mathew Astor Wilkes, are not
interested in any way in the contest
which may develop over the trust
fund of S1,500,00O, the income from
which was enjoyed by Mrs. Green,
but which upon her death reverted to
heirs of Gideon Rowland, who has
been dead three-quarters of a centu-
nv. He said there are nearly $4,000
heirs and predicted bitter legal
contest over the disposition of the
fund. Colonel Green explained that
his mother had left no requests to
charitable institutions because dur
ing her lifetime she gave literally to
charity, but always with the strict
understanding that nothing should
be said about it.

And she did. She built the mill and
ran it until she lost 100000, but

GUARDS DREAMS OF
BORDERLAND SHATTERED
GEORGIA MILITIAMEN WILL
NOT MOVE UNTIL THEY ARE
FULLY EQUIPPED.

CAMP HARRIS, Macon, Ga
More than 1900 Johnny Harris"
Tommy Atkins) saw a great big
border duty bubble burst when an
order from the war department was
received at Camp Harris today.
The gist of the document was that
no more of the national guard would
be transferred to the border from
their mobilization points until fully
equipped. The order was received
by the "Johnnies" in several differ
ent angles. Naturally they are disap-
pointed. The greater portion are
not contented to stay in Macon, and
desire to be transferred to their
home stations. Others are inclined
to think that longer stay in Macon
would place them better prepared
for border service.
Ranking officers still believe that
all of the Georgia units will be trans
ferred to the South. All in all, it is
going to be a long siege, and the
"Johnnies" will have to get used to
it, whether they want to or not.
Whether this order applies to the
cavalry squadron or to the artillery
battalion is not exactly clear to the
officers. Unless these two units re-
ceive their live stock it will be USE
less to hold them any longer at this
point, specially the artillery. There
still remains some hope that these
two commands will receive early
moving orders.
With Camp Harris being about a
month old there is not a single unit
fully equipped. The three infantry
regiments are nearer this point than
the other detachments, yet they lack
40 per cent or more of their sup
plies. Live stock is regarded as
fully 80 per cent of the cavalry and
artillery equipments.
Quartermaster's supplies are being
handed out after each unit is requir-
ed to unwind yards and yards of
government red tape. The artillery
battalion, after more than two two
battalion, after more than two weeks
of camp life, was issued its clothing.
Today's developments in the wa
termelon patch incident are regard
ed very seriously around brigade
headquarters. 1t is understood that
despite the heavy guard placed over
the patch last night number of mel
ons were stolen after the midnight
hour. A personal investigation was
made by General Harris this morn
ing. The chances are that unless the
soldiers put a stop to the "swiping"
the entire brigade will be denied the
pleasure of visiting Macon as long as
there is an encampment and will
have to be contented in remaining at
all times inside the limits of their
tented city. The privileges of taking
the short Bellevue route to and from
the camp had been stopped. An or
der today also put ban on the is
suance of passes to remain away
from camp after II o'clock at night.

PACKING PLANT TURNS
LAUGH ON BOIL WEEVlL
MISSISSIPPI SPENDS $500 ON
EACH COUNTY YEARLY TO
PROMOTE HOG RAISING.

The following from the Yazoc
CITY Herald of July 10 is another
clipping about the shipping of hogs
that will be of interest especially to
farmers.
Mr.. w. r. Fitch, spoken of in the
article is farm demonstration and Is
paid salary by the county to teach
farmers expert Investigation and
stock raising and to attend to the
marketing and "the money spent is
the best paying investment that the
county ever made" says one who
knows.
The agricultural school is a every
county institution in Mississippi,
each receiving $500 year from
the state, and county taxes do the
rest.
The boil weevil crossed the Mis-
issippi river just below Natchez and
hit Natchez first and hardest, but
the packing house there has been her
redemption. The article from the
Yazoo City paper says:
One of the best lessons is to be
taught in Yazoo City August 10Th
to the breeders of hogs that could
possibly be conceived. There will be
a car filed with hogs which have
been fed as the government station
recommends with the use of the self
feeder. No hog will be put in this
car that does not come up to the re-
CURED standard, that is, grade hog
from some standard breed, but 9th
er hogs will be received and shipped
separately. This precaution is nee
essary to show the farmers the differ
ence in a hog that has been fed sci
entifcally and just a hog which is
left to grow as he can.
Those who have carried out the
instructions with their hogs in feed
ing and getting ready for market are
as follows: The agricultural high
school will have twenty-five, which
have been fed on corn and tankage
in the self feeder and graZed on clo-
yer at night with access to plenty of
water all the time. The agricultural
high school hogs are grade Durocs.
Mr.. George Martin will have ten
grade Berkshires, which have been
fed with self feeder on corn and
pasturage. Mr.. j. N. Cocker will have
three, which have been on corn and
tankage and roasting ears. Miss Sc
lah Perry will have three, which have
been fed on corn, cottonseed meal

department of agriculture. The
wheat yield will reach 759,OOO,OoO,
a marked increase over the figure an
nounced on June /. Oats will reach
$4,000, 900, a gain of 62,0OO,OOO
bushels over the yield predicted one

better than the ten-year average.
Potatoes are reported as growing
on a slightly decreased area, but the
crop will reach 369,000,000 bushels
a gain of 100000 bushels. The
tobacco crop bids fair to establish 9

HAWAIIANS SAID
TO BE D WING OUT
LiIiuokoIani, Deposed Queen, Whose
Reign Ended in 1898, Living
Her Old Age in Comfort.

Reign Ended in 1898, Living
Her Old Age in Comfort.
"When Kamehamehame l was on
the throne of Hawaii there were up
ward of 100000 native Hawaiians
in the islands that compose the Ha-
waiian group; today there are not
more than $4,000 native pure
bloods," says an American judge in
Hawaii.
"The time will come when the ma
tive Hawaiians will become extinct,
II fear. At the time of Kamehame-
hame the Hawaiians owned nearly
all the lands of the islands; today
their holdings are very small. Most
of the lands in Hawaii are owned
by foreigners, Germans, English and
Americans predominating. The num-
Der of Hawaiians who own their own
lands is comparatively small. For
eigners have bought up nearly all OF
the sugar plantations.
II have never come in contact
with a finer race Of people than the
Hawaiians. They are absolutely hon
est, and their morality is of higher
standard than any other race in Ha-
wall. They are simple, trusting
people, fear, easily imposed up
on-and they are intensely loyal to
America.
''Liliuokolani, the deposed queen
of Hawaii, whose reign ended in
1898, is living a venerable old age
in comfort. Her former subjects still
worship her. She draws a pension
from the Hawaiian government of
$4,000 a year, good part of which
she gives away. Her old friends and
