War Like Preparations Be
ing Made by Holland
Government.
PLANS TO DEFEND
FREEDOM OF SEAS?
Sinking Of Dutch Traders Understood
to Have Led to Mobilization OF Addi-
tiOnal Troops, Though Move Said
to BE to Protect Neutrality.

Amsterdam, April Sit is reported
that 1900 ra lroad carriages are being
held at the disposal Of the military
authorities. Passenger traffic is dis
organized
The government has been interro-
gated with regard to the safety of
Dutch shipping and has asked for a
strict investigat' on of the Talunt1a
disaster, SO it is to be understood by
the belligerents that Holland will not
tolerate the sinking If Dutch ships.
Regarding Hollands warlike pre-
variations, the semi Official Niewe
Rotterdamsche Courant says:
"The special measures taken by the
military authorities have the charac-
ter of precautionary movements SINH
lar to those taken when the struggle
was raging close to our frontier, and
called forth by the possibility of the
ghting leading to large troop move
ments in the neighborhood of our
frontier in the near future

Sinking of Ships Responsible.

Washington, April, 3.-Secretary
Lansing announced today that the
state department has official know
ledge that Holland is mobile ng
troops in addition to those which
have been kept in state of prepared
ness since the war started.
The unofficial opinion is that the
excitement is traceable directly to the
SINGING of the Palambang and
Tubantia, two Dutch ships. 1t is
known Holland sent out divers i'm
mediately, to determine whether the
Tubantia was destroyed by mine
or torpedo. Sufficient time has
elapsed for report to be made.
Only to Maintain Neutrality.
Rome, April 3.-The Dutch envoy
to the holy see has assured Pope
Benedict that Hollands military meas
ures are being taken merely to safe
guard her neutrality and her terri
troial integrity. 1t is stated there
that the Netherlands government has
given satisfactory explanation to the
entente powers for the military meas
Eres she is about to adopt.

NEW USE FOR SUGAR

German army doctors are using
sugar with great success in the
treatment OF wounds, it is report
ed. The method is simple. The
wound is dressed with granulated
sugar, and then bound. The
sugar does not act as a diSinfect-
ant, and must not be applied UNI
III bleeding has been arrested.
But when applied to clean
wound surface healing proceeds
with astonishing rapidity.
No washing OF the wound is
necessary when redressing, which
is merely matter of renewing
the application OF sugar every
second or third day. The sugar
dressing has also the advantage
that there is no adhesion to the
flesh.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Presi-
dent Wilson today signed the
child labor bill In signing the
bill the president said:

emotion sign this bill, because

been to secure legislation of this
sort and what it is gong to mean

the country, ard also to the hap
pinesS OF those whom it affects.
1t is with genuine pride that
play my part in completing this

NEW JUDGESHIP
sALARYLEss JOBS
No Provision Made to Pay Extra
Members of Court

Atlanta, Sept. lit was learn
ed today that no provision has
been made for the remuneration
OF the three new Judges of the
Court of Appeals provided for by
the last General Assembly and
for which places fourteen lawyers
are now waging a heated contest.
Investigation shows that the
act charging the court of which
Senator Lawrence of the First
senatorial district was author.
says not word about salaries to
be paid the judges. The result
will be that whoever wins these
places will be thrown on the mer-
cy of the next General Assembly
and will have to wait until a spec
ial appropriation provides them
with pay. As they so into office
on January |, they will have to
wait until July at least before
they can hope to draw anything
from the state.
The same thing happened when
the Court OF appeals was first ere
ated. The judges then elected
had to wait several months until
special provision could be made
by the following legislature for
their salaries.
Another gratis job for which
there is host of applicants is
that of state inspector of factor
les, created by the last legislature.
1t carries a salary of 1900 per
annum, but no appropriation has
been made for the payment of the
salary.

LEGEND OF CHEROKEE
ROSE, GEORGIA'S OFF,
CIAL FLOWER

The legend of the Cherokee
Rose, which was adopted by act
of the legislature which has just
adjourned, as the official flower
OF Georgia, is taken from Miss
M. Rutherford's page in the Con-
fedcrate Veteran The historian
general says it is from Georgia ::
Land and People," by Francis S.
Mitchell, of Athens:
"A proud young chieftain of
the Seminoles was taken prisoner
by his enemies, the Cherokees.
and doomed to death by torture /;
but he fell 50 seriously ill that it
became necessary to wait for his
restoration to health before COM
hitting him to the flames.
AS he was lying Frustrated bv
disease in the cabin OF a Chero-
kec warrior the daughter OF the
latter, d dark-eyed maiden. was
his nurse. She rivaled in grace
the bounding fawn and the Young
warriors OF her tribe said of her
that the smile OF the Great Spirit
was not so beautiful. Was it anv
wonder that, though death stared
the young Seminole in the face.
he should be happy in her pres
cnce? Was it any wonder that
they should love each other?
Stern hatred had stihed every
kindly teciing in the hearts of the
Cherokees, and they grimly wait
ed the time when their enemy
must die. AS the color SLOWLY
returned to the checks of her low

dark-eyed MAIDEN eagerly urged
HIM to make his escape. How
could she see him die? But he
would not agree to seek safety in
flight unless she went with him.

torture than life without her.
She yielded to his pleading
At the midnight hour they silent

guided by the pale light of the
sllvery starts. Yet before they
had gone far, impelled by soft re-
greet at leaving her home forever
she asked her lovers permission
to return for an instant that she
might bear away some memento.
50, retraclng her footsteps, she
broke a sprig from the glossy
leated vine which climbed upon
her fathers cabin, and preserv-
ing 1t during her flight through
the wilderness planted it by the
door OF her new home in the land
OF the SemlnOles, where its milk
white blossoms, with golden cen
tiers, often recalled her childhood
days i'll the far-away mountains
of Georgia.
From that time this beautiful
flower has been known through
out the Southern states as the
Cherokee rose.
The Indians have passed away
from this beautiful land they low
ed so well, but the memory of
them still fingers and will linger
forever in melodious names of
Georgia's mountains, rivers and

I'd several families o. NEGROES AMI cN-
cry night they would gather together
and sing the songs Of the Southland.
If you have ever heard darkies s!ES.
you will admit that Old Hmk Joe Is
the song they are able TO render Ttth
the deepest feeling. The expression
and plaintivc torres that only south
ern dackey can put into song rise IL
their very brst in Stephen Posters
masterpiece, Old RlnGk Joe. 1t is the
song they love ant the song they sing
the sweetest
The strains Of Old Black Joe, c1&tug
up from that dark rayiue, left deep
impression on The boy. He often Won
dered what Old Hack Joe looked like
and he would scan every old neSr" :;
face he saw, but was never satisfied.
One day. however. he met an old
Garliey coming along the road vino sup
ported himself with Il crooked caa':
that shook with every step De -u@k.
His back was bent, his hair and beard
were q mass of kinky snow white ha'r
and on his nose rested Il pair Of square
spectaclcs. Behind the spectacles
cleaned pair OF tho klndest eyes
that the boy had ever seen. Yes, it
surely is Old black Joe himself" said
the boy.
Years passed by and tae boy grew
into manhood. How sentiment plays a
part IN business Is shown by what
then followed He entered into the
manufacturing business and one of
the things that came Into his posses
sion was cough medicine. This
cough medicine was not OF the urdi-
nary kind. In fact it was unusual. 1t
did not contain @ single drop OF dGn'
gerouS drugs. such as opium, NOR
phine. chloroform and other such mar
coticS that are found in almost every
other cough remedy On the market.
Yet this cough remedy cured coughs,
colds and bronchial troubles as moth
ing else would do.
Wishing 10 place il on the market,
ne was az loss for Il good name for It.
One day, after studying for some time
on the subject, the intense blackness
of the syrup interested him. Ies, IL
was black, az black as--what? Why,
as black as that old darkey's face be
had met years before-that kind and
loving old darkey he had taken for Old
Black Joe.
old Black joel" Like a flash the
name came. Yes. that must be the
name of his cough syrup-the cough
syrup that was safe. kind, honest
like the old. bent over. kind darkey Of
years ago. Yes. it must be called Old
Black Joe cough syrup. No other
name could do.
And so there came into being the
name Old Black Joe cough syrup, q
name and trade mark SO subtle, so or
Iginal. so appealing that advertising
men say it was worth million dollars
