SUFFRAGETTES ARE MORE MILITANT IN
 FIGHT FOR BALLOT
Twice Recently Has Presi- dent Wilson Been Sub- jected to Verbal
 Assaults
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, July 10.-(Special. )-There is a tendency, it is indicated, on the part of suffragist with political hadquarters in Washington, to transform themselves into militants.
 Twice recently has President Wilson been subjected to verbal assault So rabid have become the females desirous of pos sessing the ballot that one member of the Senate has publicly and formally ex- pressed his surprise and indignation.
 Some days ago, as is recalled, Presi- dent Wilson dedicated the temple of la Dor. A militant broke into the pro- gramme. The President attempted to ignore the interruption. The other incl dent occurred some time previous. It pleased the suffrage bureau to such an extent that the press of the propagan- dists was put into motion.
 The following is from suffrage head quarters and Is taken to indicate the ap- proval of the organization of this and similar incidents: ac
 "A huge shock was thrown into the otherwise harmonious gathering at the White House today of a delegation rep resenting the Woman's National Demo- cratic league. The delegation, composed of some of the most distinguished ladies of the congressional and official sets. called to inform the President that the league had raised 5000 as campaign con- tribution toward his reelection.
 "The President received the ladies gra- ciously, and was in the act of thanking them when Mrs. Frank B. Moran, a grandniece of Mrs. Martha Washington, interrupted the proceedings to say:
 "'These ladies have no right to pledge the support of the democratic women of the country. l have just returned. MT. President, from six months trip in the west, and I am here to say that the women of the voting states regard you as having been responsible for the defeat of the woman suffrage amendment, and to tel you that you run the risk of losing their 100000 votes.
 'The others in the delegation retired, but Mrs. Moran remained with the Presi- dent long enough to drive home her ar guments. She declared when she left the White House that the President was go- ing to try to do what he could
 Among others in the delegation were Mrs. w. A. Cullop, wife of Representa- tive Cullop of Indiana, and Mrs. John E. Raker, wife of Representative Raker of California;

Courtland Spends Night
 In Fear of Floods

Courtland, July 10-(Special. .)-Courtland has just passed through one of the most anxious nights within it's history It com menced to rain Thursday morning and from that moment until Saturday night, it rained without intermission. Big Nance creek is on rampage, and the loss in live stock has been great. No loss of life has been reported, so far, but grave danger is feared Some 50 feet of the Southern railway track is gone. and it is believed that what is known as The long trestle" is so badly damaged that it will take two or three days before trains can pass over it. This trestle is about 200 yards long. The creek was higher than has been ever known in the history of the town, the water running over the rails for more than half mile The overflow came to within 50 yards of the main portion of the town. and had it not begun to fall about midnight. last night, would have been over the entire town this morning.
 In addition to the loss of live stock. all of the basin crops of every character are a total loss. The damage in the county will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. The wind blew the corn down and the water covered it up. The pros- pect for a crop, which was roseat week ago, has now dwindled to naught. The laboring class of farmers are in a de- plorable condition.

ID GUARD BORDER
 JOINTLY PLANNED
 BY ]. s. OFFICERS
Generals Funston and Scott Working Out Details of the Conference at
 Ell PasO

San Antonio, July 10.-Without formal agreement, it appeared probable today that the plan of joint guarding of the border country proposed by General Fun ston and General Scott during their con- ferences at Fl Paso, might be worked out by officers commanding troops on oppo- site sides of the international line. Gen eral Bell at Fl Paso already had dls- cussed with General Gonzales plan or cooperative work and Capt A. V. Ander- son, commanding the American troops at Presidio, talked with Colonel RoJas, com mandant of the Mexican garrison at oJl- niga, the town on the opposite side of the river, of the best means of preventing raids.
 No instructions from departmental headquarters have been sent to border commanders to enter into negotiations with the Mexican officers, but it is 1ndl- cated at General Funstons headquarters that similar efforts would be made py all American officers whose commands face Mexican troops. It was indicated that in all cases the American officers would be expected to listen to any plan of cooperation proposed and in cases where practicable to work in the closest harmony with the Mexican commanders.
 Colonel Gaton, commanding the Amer ican troops in the Big Bend district, watched for signs that Villas men or other bandits were moving against the border, but his reports late today indl- cated continued quiet. Additional troops will reach him tomorrow. It is believed he will have enough men to guarantee the protection of that district against

Pensacola passed through the tropical hurricane of last week with safety. One life thus far has been reported lost in this section. That was when a man went out into the bay in a small boat seeking to re- cover some property.

OLD VETERAN TOO WEAK ID GO AFTER

Member of Third Florida Infantry Fought in 27
 Bloody Battles

While hats are now off to the red blooded young Americans of the National Guard who have volunteered to defend the nations honor on the Mexican border, no southern born man or woman has for gotten the Confederate veteran and the splendid chivalry of other days, Cour- ageous loyal and true to every trust these soldiers of the Lost Cause" won, and still retain, the admiration of the world
 A few days ago one of Jacksonville's old battle scared veterans came into Bettes pharmacy and it wasn't long un- til several admring friends had gathered around, for it was evident that he had something to say.
 Let me have another bottle of that Tanlac" he said firmly. 'T had to send for the first bottle because I was too weak to come for it, but you see I'm here on foot this time and I'm feeling better than I have in a long time and I'm pretty tolerable spry for 74-year- old''
 The speaker was none other than R. k. Brodnax, former member of Company "A," Third Florida infantry, Bates d. vision under Gen. Joe Johnson in the army of West Tennessee. MT.

 T suffered with stomach trouble for two long years" the veteran continued, "and I was so badly broken down l just semed to go all to pieces, and finally had to give up my job. got so couldn't walk without help and l simply couldn't leave the house at all.
 T had no appetite at all, and, to tell you the truth, I didn't eat enough to keep a cat alive I was so nervous could hardly stand it and would have ire quent spells of the weak trembles, The small of my back hurt me so bad was in misery from one days end to the other, and I didn't seem to be able to get relief from anything I'd take for It.
 Several of my friends gave Tanlac mighty good name to me and l finally made up my mind to try it. Well, gen tlemen, I've just finished the first bottle and it's made a different man out or me. My appetite has picked up right along and I can now eat anything l want without suffering for it and l enjoy it. too Just like used to. My back don't hurt me like it did. and I feel stronger and better every way. This certainly IS fine medicine and I'm going to Keep right on taking ti.

MILITARY LIFE NOT so
 BAD, WRITES BLACKMAN

in charge there has been order from chaos and conditions now are as good as one could expect. have not found anywhere in camp where there was any one going hungry, if they were willing to eat staple food fit for any hardy American, and they are certain- ly giving us this.
 With the proper instructions and in- telligent following of the same the tents that we have can be made water proof to the hardest rain. The clothes that are being worn by most or the bo>s though not acceptable for dress parade, are good enough to turn the cold at night and practically every man is supplied with individual blankets. The old clothes being worn by the men in some companies being replaced as rapidly as the quartermasters depart ment can facilitate the change The equipment for the men is being brought in daily and being distributed as rapidly as possible. One reason that some are dissatisfied is because they do not realize the enormous amount ol red tape and work that is necesseary to equip the number of men in this size camp, and also the short time the federal government has had to absorp the state militia and reorganize them under central head-since July l.
 With the carrying out of President Wilson's preparedness programme ana the absorption of the state guards oy the federal governement. it should not be long before the federalized militia will be on an equal footing with the regular army, both in equipment ana training as the individual units or ser vice of the militia will probably De at- tached to different parts of the regular service. Such action would be a great benefit to the militia With best wishes, remain, yours sincerely,

Walter Blackman, Jr., who was in charge of The Age -Heralds engraving department until the departure of Bat tery c for the mobilization camp, writes back as follows:
 Mobilization Camp,
 Montgomery, Ala,
 July g, 1916. To the Members of The Age Herald.
 Dear Friends Today will end the second week in camp and, in fact. of many reports to the contrary, think that I can say that the great majority of the boys want more. One thing that they seem to want is to go ahead. There has been much newspaper com ment on the subject of the dissatis faction of the boys, and as We read the papers here it often makes us laugh at the ingenuity of some ambitious re- porter trying to picture the horrors and discomforts of camp lie, which he has never experienced.
 To go into camp is necessaE+Iy very strenuous, but the majority of the boys realize this and cooperate with of fcers in every way possible and try to make the best of conditions as they prevail. Under no condition can 4200 men be mobilized without some being dissatisfied. Those who are dissatis- fled are the ones who continually air their feelings, and those who are sat isfied are those who work and accom- plish the best results. This condition keeps the outside world from knowing the true pulse of feeling of the camp. I have in no case found where the real workers had the time to grumble though they had the inclination.
 When we first arrived the camp was in great disorder but gradually by in telligent supervision by the officers
