THE FARMERS OF THOMAS
TO PLANT LESS COTTON

BROWNSVILLE, Ga, Dec. 3.-The
farmers of Thomas do not even talk
about the possibilities of cotton next
year and apparently the number who
put any acreage in the erstwhile great
crop of this section will be few. AL
though the cotton made this season
brought fine prices it took lot of work
to fight the boil weevil and, with the
expected still greater increase of the
weevil and the scarcity of labor impend
ing, comparatively few will care to run
the risk of planting With the large
number of negroes who have been
drafted into the army from this coun-
ty and those who have gone north or
to other sections if the country, farm
labor will be scarce.

in the trail of Mrs. Blanca de Saulles
for the murder of her divorced hus-
band, John l.. de Saulles, former Yale
star and club man, at his home near
Westbury, Long Island, the night of
August 8.
In the verdict no reference what
ever was made to insanity. 1t was a
plea for temporary loss of account
ability which formed the basis of the
defendants case.
Mrs. de Saulles, who had maintained
an air of extreme self-possession thru
out the two weeks of the trial, receiv-
ed the verdict smilingly. She shook
hands with each of the jurors as they
left the box and to each gave a nod of
appreciation.

A BLESSED OPPORTUNITY

God gave me something very sweet
to be mine en- this day
A precious opportunity, a word for
Christ to say;
A soul that my desire might reach, a
word to do for him;
And now l thank him for his grace,
ere yet the lights grows dim
did not seek this blessed thing; it
came rare surprise,
Flooding my heart with dearest joy,
as, lifting wistful eyes,
Heavens light upon a dear ones face
shone plain and clear On mine;
And there, an unseen third, felt was
waiting One Divine
SO in this twilight hour 1 kneel, and
pour my grateful thought
In song and prayer to Jesus for the
gifts this day hath brought.
Sure never service is so sweet, nor
life hath so much zest,
And when he bids me speak for him
and then he does the rest.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 12.-Premier
Kerensky and the provisional gov
ernment had won the first victory OF
the civil war today. A thousand
sharpshooters, hurried from Petro
grad, met the advance forces of Gen
eral Korniloff's revolving troops at
point twe1rty-six miles from Petrograd
and stopped their advance.
Prompt action by the government
indicating drastic measures to put
down the revolt, coupled with news
of this initial achievement in check
ing the revoIters, created new optim
ism in Petrograd. Great bodies Of
loyal government troops are depart
ing from the city almost hourly tc
oppose the rebels. Government en-
gineers have already practically de
stroyed Korniloff's chances OF using
the railroads for his advance. Every
place from which reports have been
received of advancing rebels, the
tracks have been destroyed and large
forces OF government troops concen
trated to- oppose any progress.
Kerensky was quoted today as ex'
pressing the hope despite the tighten
ing of Korniloff's lines around the
city, that there will be no whole
sale bloodshed.
Chief anxiety among the public wss
in the food situation in Petrograd.
The capitals stock Of food was
known to have been severely depict
ed recently. Even before the Korn-
iloff revolt became known. the pro
visional government was seeking to
relieve the shortage by furnishing
transportation to these VIII volUr-
tarily wished to leave on account OF
the German drive from Riga.
A statement issued by Premier
Kerensky and sent by wireless to
all Russian fronts, expressed the firm
hope that war would be averted. He
announced the arrest of General Den
iklne, commander on the southwest
front with his staff, and of General
Erdelli, formerly military governor
of Petrograd.
"Only small detachments Of troops
have been moved toward Petrograd
by General Korniloff," the statemen
asserted. Through deception they
have remained deluded regarding the
position The further advance or
these units has been arrested and
the bonds between them broken. In
dividual units have sent delegates
to Petrograd requesting that they be
furnished with order to arrest the
commander who betrayed the gov
ernment.
THE government has taken meas
ures to put Petrograd in a state Of
defense against attacks and the hope
is entertained that all bloodshed or
civil war will be avoided"
Press reports received here today
asserted that General Klembosky, the
newly named commander in chief of
Russia's armies, has Joined Kornilor
in his revolt. No confirmation was
obtainable here.
It was understood, however, that
