The German sailors informed
at Fort Mcpherson. Ca, soon
will be engaged in tilIing the soil
in order to increase the produc-
ton of food crops in this coun-
try, if present plans are carried
out. 1t is stated that the author
tiles are only waiting until all
arrangements can be made for
compromising the Germans for
their labor, as required by in
ternational law. A strip of land
will be given them at the foot or
nearby, and every effort will be
made to raise at least enough
food to feed the prisoners and
enough to care for United States
soldiers, too, if possible.
The Germans now no longer
salute Old Glory as was the case
when they first arrived. Since
the declaration of war they keep
in their quarters when the flag is
lowered. The post has been
closed entirely and no visitors
are allowed. Instructions have
been given the officers to the
effect that more German prison
ers orinterned ci tizens will soon
arrive to be imprisoned at Nc

locally that Atlanta will be made
the site for a huge concentration
camp within a short time.

Southern Negroes Loyal.

The negroes of the South are
loyal to the American flag and
have foiled the German plots to
stir up a revolution against this
government, according to negro
leaders who have helped the gov
eminent to guard against the in
trigues of plotters.
1t is known that a few negroes
have been induced to go to Mexi-
co, lured there by German promi-
ses of an invasion of the United
States followed by equal rights
for negroes. The number who
have been persuaded to make
this move is comparatively small.
Educators who have worked
among the negroes for years say
that there is not a more loyal
band of people in the country
than the black men. They point
out that the negro has taken an
active part in every American
war.
A move is on foot in Albany,
Ca, to recruit a negro company,
and throughout Southeastern
Georgia there are incessant in
quiries from the degrees as to
whether or not they will be al
lowed to enlist or will be includ-
ed in the first draft. Commun-
ity leaders in such counties as
Calhoun and Butler, Ca, where
the negroes outnumber the
whites about % to 1, say that
they fear no trouble.

Preparing the Way.

When he was 13, Alexander
Hamilton had entered the employ
of a merchant named Nicholas
Cruger. So extraordinary was
his aptitude for business that
before he had been in the Cru
ger establishment year his en-
ployer, having occasion to leave
home for a time, left young
Hamilton in sole charGe. The
lad, however, already had visi-
ons of a career beyond the coun-
ting house.
To a boy friend he wrote at
this time, ITO confess my am
bition is prevalent, so that | con-
denim the groveling ambition of
a clerk, or the like to which my
ambition condemns me, and
would willingly risk my life,
though not my character. to eX-
alt my station. l am confident.
Ned, that my youth excludes
me from. any hope of immediate
preferment, nor do l desire it,
but l mean to prepare the way
for futurity.
Hamilton's method of prepar-
ing the way was much reading
of solid books and much thought
upon the strength and the weak
ness of the political institutions
of his time. When, few years
later, he arose as a leading
figure in the debates that pro-
ceeded the formation of the
Continental Congress, it was
with a mind stored with ,argu-
ments. For years he had been
preparing to be just that leader
of men that the age demanded.
With any of US. it is not alone
a question of what we are now,
but what we are preparing to be
by and by.
Let US remember, too, that fl
nancial independence is only of
several kinds of success that it is
our privilege to plan for and to
win.

Submarine" Heat.

AS we go downward into the
earth We find a steady increase
of temperature. So marked is
this increase that it has been Sc
riously proposed to make very
deep borings in order to obtain
supplies of warm water for heat
ing our towns.
Arago and Walferdin suggest
ed this method of supplying
warmth to the Jardin d es
Plantes in Paris; and now that
such important improvements
have been made in carrying bor-
ings to enormous depths the
time may not be far distant when
we shall draw extensively upon
these supplies of submarine"

The City of Budapest is, ex-
tensively supplied with hot wa

Death of a Good Woman.

nesday afternoon Of last week,
told the sad story that the pure
soul of Mrs. Dollie Morris, wife
of Mr.. ]. w. Morris, had left the
tenement of clay and gone to
that realm prepared for gentle
spirits like her own. We all sat
down and wept because one so
pure and true had gone at the
call of the righteous Judge to re-
ceive the reward prepared for
the pure in heart at the founda-
ton of the world. But she was
so gentle, so kind and true, that
our human nature murmured and
complained at our sad loss, rath-
er than rejoiced over the glories
of her eternal home.
She had been confined to her
bed for almost a year with that
dread disease, consumption. All
was done that loving hands could
do, but to no avail, she has
closed her eyes forever upon the
scenes of earth, and is now en-
joying the blessings of that home
for which she has been striving
to enter. While we know the
world was better for her having
lived in it, yet tits poorer be-
cause she is no more.
To the heart broken friends
and loved ones we would say:
weep not, for she is done with
the troubles and trials of life, and
is now reckoning to friends and
loved ones to join her around
Gods eternal throne. Weep not
for the departed one. but live in
the way that when you, like her
have crossed the dark river of
Death, you can meet this loved
one again where partings are no
more.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number
Thou no more our sorrow know.
Yet, again we hope to meet thee,
When the days of life are through,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
W IS shalfeyer flow.

Pennsylvania was marketed in large amounts and receded fractionalfy. Canadian Pacific. Lehigh Valley and Northwestern were depressed point or more The specia1ties presented a better front, with good gains for Gen. era1 Motors, Texas Oil, Mexican Pe- troleum, Sugar and General Electric.
 Sentiment was depressed by spread ing of the liquidating movement in the representative shares and by the absence of outside buying power. The reported loss of the British steamer Minnehaha prompted active selling of shipping shares. Later the bears were given a sharp twist. Prices of the steels were run up 21,to 1A points beyond their lowest, and the coppers, equipments, motors, oils and muni- tions were also pushed up substan- 1 tially. These gains were not sheld fully, as operators found it difficult to advance prices without meeting a fresh supply of, stocks Bonds were easier. Liberty bonds sold at 99.90 | to 9996
