Madrid, Spain, Oct. 13.-Spain is on
the eve of ministerial crisis, which
in all likelihood will result in the near
future in the appointment of a coali-
tion administration, under the premier
ship of the Conservative leader, Maura-
This. change may mean, according to
careful observers, a departure by Spain
from the policy of neutrality which she
has pursued since the beginning of the
war, and her adhesion to the cause
not of Germany and Austria, but to
that of the entente allies.
This new turn of events cannot fail
to surprise those who have been led to
believe that owing to the organized
German propaganda in Spain the ma
jority of the nation favored the CEN
trail powers. and We're convinced of the
invincibility of the kaiser's armies. An
impression had also been created that
the Conservatives were entirely Ger
manophile, and that If Spain remained
neutral, 1t was due wholly to the pres
ent primo minister, Count Romanones,
and to his Liberal followers. Indeed.
1t was asserted that IL the governments
neutrality was only of a moderately
friendly character toward France and
her allies. and showed singular lack
of energy in the face of gross and
fragrant breaches of neutrality by Ger
many II was because the cabinet
feared to lay itself open to attacks by
the Conservatives, on the ground or
undue partiality toward the entente.

Guard TROOPS
STILL NEEDED
ON BORDER

Long Branch, N J.. Oct. 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson, in letter to Governor
Whitman, sent Oct. 0. made public here,
declared the emergency which caused
the sending of the militia to the Mexi-
can border "unhappily still exists" He
added that he believed conditions in
northern Mexico were improving and
that In the near future 1t probably
would be possible to do more than
has been done tc relieve the embarrass-
ments under which the organized mill
tia regiments have necessarily suf-
fered"
The president wrote to Governor
Whitman in answer to a letter regard
ing the New York militia organizations
on the border. The president told him
it was impossible to set a date on
which the remaining New York regi-
ments there could be released. The
president, in his letter, said he had been
advised by the war. department that
the withdrawal of the militia at any
time since they were sent to the border
would in all human likelihood have
been followed by fresh aggressions
from Mexico upon the lives and prop
erty of the people of the United States"
The president paid high tribute to
the character of the militiamen on the
border and denied that the organiza-
tons were being kept there to perfect
military training.

his withdrawal as a candidate in face

In his home county, Boundary, alleg-
ing a statutory crime. The contents
of Chairman Hamilton's letter have
not been given out for publication. 1t
is admitted at Democratic state head
quarters that such a letter is of record
and that by this time 1t is probably in
the hands of Mr.. Stanley, a resident of
Bonners Ferry. 1t Is believed that n
view of the circumstances and because
of the embarrassment which the filing
of the charges forces not only upon
himself. but the state organization, Mr..
Stanley will resign. At least that
seems to be the view taken by party
leaders. Mr.. Stanley claims the charge
is absurd, false and groundless which
his many friends believe. In the event
of his resignation the state committee
will probably name James H. Forney of
Moscow to succeed him as the
party's nominee.

rupture between the United States and
Mexico has been averted. Mexicans
in all of the country occupied by the
forces of Gen. Pershing are reported
as being very friendly toward Ameri-
cans. Gen. Pershing reports the Gus
toms collectors of the Carranza GOV
ernment have recently been instructed
to permit railroad rolling stock to
leave Mexico, and the Mexicans are
sending cars into American territory
to bring back food shipments. All
persons attempting to interfere with
these shipments are being summarily
dealt with by the de facto authori-

End REGIMENT s
LEAVING IS NOW
CHANGED AGAIN

The Second regiment of the Georgia
National Guards is expected to get
away from Macon, en- route to the
border or San Antonio and Del Rio,
or Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Friday or Saturday had been set as
the date when the Second infantry
was expected to pull its stakes and
entrain for the border.
1t is believed that the shortness OF
equipment for the Second regiment is
responsible for the delay. Even for
this reason the Second is the best
equipped in camp which leaves the
First and Fifth in bad condition.
The Macon Telegraph, of Thursday
morning, contained story of the
conditions whereby the Second infan-
try, did not have her equipment and
was not ready to leave, of course.

ALABAMA NEGRO HAS
CURE BOIL WEEv|L
WITH OWN MIXTURE

An Alabama negro is believed tG
have found an antidote for the boil
weevil.
The following interesting article
appeared in Thursdays Montgomery
Advertiser, and may prove of assist
ance in the battle among Geirgia
farmers which is sure to come:
Scores of farmers in Montgomery
county have been visiting the farm Of
John McDufie, the negro farmer, on
Route 8, in the eastern part of the
county during the past ten days to
view his crop of cotton McDuffie has
seemingly found sure means 10 kill
the boil weevils at small expense.
He takes samphor, oil and tar in q
boiled mixture and saturates a COM
mon crocus sack with the mixture.
This sack is fastened to the plow
beam at right angles and dragged
over both sides of the young plants
in plowing.
The scent from the mixture not
only kills what weevils are there but
keeps others from coming. He says
that great care must be observed in
the use of the mixture and he has
killed some cotton in his expert
ments.
"He has two hundred and fifty acres
of the finest cotton in this county,
one hundred acrces of which is abso-
lutely free of weevils, owing to his
use of the mixture He is using the
mixture now on the other hundred ana
fifty acres, knowing from experience
that he will kill all that are in that
also. The cost is small. He says with
the right ingredients, it costs only ff-
teen cents an acre to kill and drive
away all the weevils.
Several Of the largest planters IN
this section are using the mixture with
success. E. H. Moore. of Mt. Carmel
is trying it with success, and so is
w. T. Dean and Rev. Landy Thomas.

seems to have solved the problem Of
