ing the forces of the Carranza govern
ment, is using the cry Remember Oroz-
co" to stir up hatred against Ameri-
cans and gain recruits for himself, ac-
cording to foreigners who reached the
border today.
General Orozco was Villas formidable
foe until the latter drove him across the
border into the United States after the
battle of Ojinaga, nearly two years ago
OrozcO was shot and killed last Septem-
Der in the mountains on this side of the
boundary sometime after he had for
feited the bond under which he was
being held as violator of United States
neutrality laws, Villa, taking advantage
of the circumstances of Orozco's death,
is declared to be using his name as a
rallying cry for recruits.
Western Chihuahua was the home of
Orozco as well as that of Villa, and the
dead leader had a large following which
is said to have been inflamed recently
when Villa informed them Orozco had
been murdered in Texas by Americans.
Several person arriving from Chihua-
hua City declared SO Americans were
thrown into prison just before Villa
evacuated that city, a number of Chin
csc were shot. and the stores belonging
to them and to Japanese merchants were
looted and burned. Villa announced,
they said, that he intended to hold the
Americans until they paid over $50, 900
but they were finally released.

believe thirteen is a genuinely unlucky
number. On the 18th of January Mr..
Lett had his right hand cut off by a
piece of machinery at the Central

"a man with my experience must be
convinced thirteen is a hoodoo number, -
he said. October 10, 1914, i lost my
baby by DEATH February 10, 1915, my
brother died; my mother died October
13, 1915, and I had my hand cut off jan

make man believe in the hoodoo, i

consideration. And it is said that while
holding court in various sections of the
state during the past few months he
has been enabled to obtain a pretty good
idea of the political situation with ref
erence to his own chances of election.
Judge Thomas is cheduled to hold
court in Atlanta for three weeks, be-
ginning early in February, and will
probably be here when the state exec
utive committee holds it's meeting. He
will thus have an excellent chance to
further post himself.
The report that a number of national
banks in Georgia were seriously con-
sidering taking out state charters be-
/ cause Comptroller of the Currency John
| Shelton Williams was vigorously insist
/ ing that the national banks should not
| carry excess reserves and should not
exact unreasonable interest charges, is
/ said to have grown out o fthe fact that
one banker, the head of a national bank
/ in a small Georgia town, recently called
upon State Treasurer w j. Speer and
discussed with him the ACCESSIBILITY of
taking out a state charter for his bank.
Mr.. Speer advised this banker that he
had better go slow and be sure of his
ground before he made any change.
1t might be interesting to note in
this connection that the rigid investiga-
lions made by the comptroller of the
currency into the rates of interest
charged by national banks may be re-
sponsible for new legislation for the
state banks. Several members of the
general assembly have during the past
few days discussed the advisability of
introducing a bill next summer which
will not only penalize any bank commit
ting usury, but will require the banks in
their periodical statements made to the
state treasurer and published in the
newspapers to state under oath the
rates of interest which they charge.
At next summers session of the gen.
eral assembly bills will be introduced
having for their object the adjustment
of capital punishment in Georgia. And
If is quite likely that the bill providing
for the substitution of electrocution for
hanging, which has been offered every
session for many years past, will again
be introduced.
The discussions in the Legislature this
summer will not, therefore, be so much
on whether Georgia shall supplant hang
ing with electrocution, but rather
whether there should not be an end to
capital punishment in the state.
Judge c. II. Brand, of Athens, has is
sued a statement in which he says that
the report which has been going the
rounds to the effect that ne was con-
sidering entering the governors race is
without foundation.
Judge Brand admits that a number
of his friends have suggested to him
that he announce for governor, but he
SAYS he is well satisfied to continue as
judge of the western circuit.

Some OF the more astute students OF
Georgia politics who have visited At

agreed on the idea that the gubernato-

final shape by the first Of March, which
by the way is unusually early for such
a campaign TO be well i'm progress with
all candidates announced.

meet in Atlanta on February 18th and
it is believed that at that time good
