Mr.. Editor: Ideemit pleasure this
day to say few words through your
paper of one of the most delightful
privileges that the writer has had for
some time.
Yesterday, as drove up to friend
and brothers house, there was some
thing that put me back to childhood
days as ! looked at the children and the
grandchildren all about in the yard and
house. That home was Brother L. B.
Gravley's. There were smiles that
made me wish to say, Jesus lives; yes,
Jesus lives. Yes, smiles like those l
had on Christmas Eve, before Santa
rode up in his auto. Why was this? 1t
was Grandpa Gravley's birthday. He
was 80 years old yesterday. Now, sir,
Grandpa L. B. G. must have had some
thoughts like these, namely:
How dear to my heart are the scenes
of my childhood,
When fond recollections recall them
to view.
The orchard, the meadow, the deep
tangled wildwood,
And every loved spot which my in
fancy knew
Just few more words. That table.
how long | can't say, for / may not
make it as long as it really was, and
full, yes, running over with good things
to eat. And you, Mr.. Editor, had you
been there, would have said to yourself,
that dinner was fine I th;nk +boro
were about rs present. Now we, his
friends, pray that Brother l.. B. GRAY
ley, in his old age, shall keep that
blessed peace which he has now til. the
roll is called up yonder.

A Gard From H. C. Ti!lman

Mr.. Editor:
From information which las come to
me from over the district, find that
the report is being religiously circulated
that am going to withdraw from the
race for Congress. The foundation for
this report is the fact that l am mem
ber of the National Guard, and will, in
all probability, be ordered out for duty
in the Mexican crisis.
| am first lieutenant OF the Green
wood company, coast artillery, and if
the coast artillery is ordered to mobil
lze, would most asSuredly respond to
the call, but know of nothing in the
rules of the Democratic party which
disqualifies National Guardsman from
running in the Democratic primary. If
am ordered out will conduct my cam
paign as best | can by correspondence
and advertising, but in no event will l
withdraw from this race. l entered it
in good fallh, believing that was fitted
to serve the people acceptably as their
representative in Washington, and |
shall fight it out to the finish.
ask my friends throughout the dis
trict to correct this report wherever
they find it, and to tell the people that
| am in the race to the finish
Respectfully,

II. s. LIABLE FOR
MEXICAN CLAIMS F?
Held Responsible by Other Nations,
Is Report. Bound to Settle
Damages.

NEW LONDON, Conn.-After an
agreement is reached on the question
of safeguarding the Mexican border
from Mexican bandits, one of the
most important matters which VIII
come before the American and Mexl-
can Joint commission, according to
Franklin X. Lane, secretary OF the
American section, is that of finding
a method of settling claims for the
loss of property and life by Amerl-
cans and other foreigners in Mexico
These claims, as told in the Satur-
day Blade last week, total at least
81. OOO,OO0,000 and many exceed that
figure. About $400, 100000 of them
are held by foreigners and the rest
by American citizens.
Although the government OF the
United States is not known to nave
ever officially admitted any liability
for the losses of persons belonging 70
other nations, the consular represen-
tatives of Germany, England, France
Spain and other nations in Mexico
have told men of their natlonaltS
that the United States was bound &C
settle their claims, according q
Americans who have recently arrived
from Mexico.

RUSSIAN FIELD COMMANDER
PRAISES RUMANIA AS ALLY.

RUSSIAN ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS (on southern 'front.' .-In an
interview with a war correspondent
Gen. Alexis Brusiloff is quoted as
saying:
at goes without saying that / felt
deep JOY when / heard that Rumania
had declared war on Austria. My
left flank, now resting on the Ru-
manian army, with which it has viz
tually brought itself into contact, is
now undoubtedly secure.
The Rumanian army is strength
with which one must reckon. 1t is
under good leadership, an excellent
spirit animates it and it is subjected
to remarkable discipline. It's body
of officers are we'll learned, serious
and competent. Above all, the Ru-
manian army has magnificent artll-
lery which it uses with perfect skill.
During the last two years Ruma-
MIA has had plenty of time to accum-
ulate great quantities of ammunition
and that is a capital point, because
artillery plays in modern way a role
not only enormous, but preponderat-
ing, and any nation without the help
of powerful artillery would in vain
expect great military success.

GERMANS USE CARRIER
PIGEONS AS MESSENGERS
They Form an Effective Link in Ger
man Defense.

Scattered along the German lines
in France, but several miles to the
rear, are succession of carrier pig
con stations" which form an effective
link in the German schemes of de-
tense, and in times of extreme
stress can become well nigh invalu-
able. Especially is this the case
when all other means of communlca-
ton from the front trenches with the
rear are destroyed.
In the trenches are kept cages OF
trained pigeous. The birds are kept
constantly in practice so that IN
times of emergency they will go
without fail to some station to give
word of disaster that might have
been telephoned had not the tele-
phone connection been shot away or
otherwise destroyed.
The messages are written on tiny
pieces of paper, enclosed in thlmble-
like containers which are attached to
a leg of the bird, and the fiiers are
released. If longer messages must
be sent, or maps have to be trans
mitted, these are enclosed in a larger
.container which is attached to sort
of harness that can be put over the
birds head and fitted tight to Its
body.

Protects Them from Cold and Snow.
Minimizes Danger of tuberculosis.
An authority on dress and its cut
for dairy cows is Sir Francis Webster,
a wealthy manufacturer of hemp
goods in Scotland and the owner of a
stock range in Texas embracing
1900 acres and thousands. of head of
stock. Sir Francis cows are dressed
regularly every winter in suits of
hemp cloth made at his own manu-
featuring establishment. to protect
them from the cold and snow, mini
mize the dangers from tuberculosis
and increase their daily yield of milk.
Each COW has two suits a week. They
are not elaborate dress affairs by any
means, with lingerie and all that. 1t
is a man-made dress of one piece, or
simply a coverall blanket that fits
loosely. This, of course, means added
expense, but the yield of milk during
the cold weather is about 27 per cent
larger than from cows not similarly
protected.

TERRELL COUNTY
LEADS IN EDUCATION
THIS COUNTY AND BURKE ARE
IN A CLASS WITH BIG CITY
COUNTIES.

COLUMBUS.-For the purpose of
going over plans for the consolida-
ton of the county schools and other
matters looking to the betterment of
the Muscogee county schools in vari-
Gus ways, and with view to famil-
iarizing himself with the local school
work, State Supervisor F. E. Land,
for the southern part of Georgia,
was in Columbus to-day and spent
considerable time in conference with
County Superintendent ]. L. Bond at
his offices at the court house.
Professor Land, who is one of the
foremost educators of the state, said
that the people of Muscogee county
are to be congratulated upon having
adopted the McMichael act, provid-
ing for the Improvement of the rural
schools, and he heartily endorsed the
action of the school board in provid-
ing a nine-months' school year as one
of the very first steps in the direction
of betterment.
"There are only two or three coun-
ties in the state outside of the city
counties of Fulton, Richmond, Bibb
and Chatham, besides Muscogee, that
have nine months schools, even
though they have adopted the special
school tax plan," stated Mr.. Land, as
he mentioned Terrell and Burke as
exceptions that are in a class with
the big city counties of the state.
Sentiment in favor of better rural
schools by special taxation and by
consolidation is growing rapidly
throughout South Georgia and the
state, according to Prof. Land, and
he believes that the remaining liz
counties that have not as yet adopted
the special taxation plan will gradu-
ally fall in line as the counties that
have adopted it demonstrate its ben
efits and the greater educational adj
vantages offered the children.
1t will perhaps be a year or more
before the plans for the consolida-
ton of the Muscogee county schools
will be worked out by the board and
actually put in force, but that this
will eventually be done as the funds
are made available is the apparent
sentiment of the local school authori-
ties and better schools advocates.

bered. was one of the speakers in
favor of the special school tax dur
ing the recent campaign conducted IN

astic worker in the interest of better

LITTLE TASTE OF
WAR IS COSTLY
Uncle Sam Is Spending $15,0OO,OO0
a Month to Keep Troops on the
Mexican Border.

It is costing the United States gov
eminent about SIS, 100000 month
to keep 100000 state troops and
AS 900 regular army troops on the
border and in Mexico. Expenditures
to date total more than $70,OOO,O0O,
and it is estimated that further ex-
penliture of $5O,OOO.OOO will be nee
essary before normal conditions are
restored.
The cost of bringing the $4,000
state troops now enroute from the
border to their stations to be mus
tered out will be close TO $1,O90,00O.
1t will cost a similar amount to move
$4,000 state troops southwark to re-
place the men ordered home. This
exchange of troops will continue un-
til the 10000 odd men still remaining
in the state mobilization camps are
sent to the border to do their share

TREMENDOUS TOBACCO
OUTPUT BY ONE FIRM
r. J. REYNOLDS co. PAYS GOV
EMINENT $3.50, 900 REVENUE
A WEEK.

No better proof can be found of
the true value of we'll directed and
carefully distributed advertising of
goods Of real merit than one will find
in the example of the R. j. Reynolds
Tobacco Company of Winston-Salem,
N. c., whose growth in business is but
little short of phenomenal.
In 1875 Mr.. Reynolds went from
Virginia to Winston-Salem with
ST, 500 cash capital. At this time he
built and equipped the first plant,
which, when completed, cost $2,4OO.
To-day the r. ]. Reynolds Tobacco
Company has an authorized capitall-
cation of $20,000,000 and employs
over 100000 people. In order
that our readers may be able to
grasp and have true conception OF
the size and magnitude of the busl-
ness of the r. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company we give the following,
which statement can be verified from
the records of the department of in
ternal revenue:
A little more than a year ago the
federal government erected at Win
ston-Salem, N. c., a new postottlce
and federal building at cost of
S250,0O0. Much ado was made over
the erection of such building, and
particularly were the eyes of the pub
lie opened when the fact was made
known that in exactly eight days, the
first eight days that the new building
was occupied, $250,000 had been re-
ceived through the revenue depart
ment in that building. Now the
building pays for itself every SIX
days. In other words, the K. j. Key
nolds Tobacco Company pays the
United States internal revenue de-
partment an average of $25O,O0o
every six days.
In 1910 the R. J. Reynolds To-
bacco Company took up their flrst
general advertising campaign. Since
that time they have been constant
and consistent users of newspaper
space.
Interesting Figures.
The following figures will prove
interesting and go to snow Lne Vaiue

ginning the general newspaper ad-
vertising campaign in 1910 the gam
of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com
panv's business in pounds, smoking
and chewing tobacco included, to the
