/. saItlna Cows

An. important item that is often over
looked in the management of dairy
cows is providing them with plenty Of
salt. All animals that consume large
quantities of vegetable food require
salt. Unless cows receive plenty of salt
they will cease to thrive and will there
fore decrease In milk flow. Some dairy
men mix the saft with the feed, but the
better plan Is to keep 1t IN conven-
lent place where the COWS may have
ready access to 1t when they so desire.

CONTROLLING CHOLERA.

Absolute Cleanliness Beet Method Of
Preventing Hog Diseases.
Out in the Mississippi valley there is
a farmer who has been raising pure
bred hogs for fifteen years. During
that time cholera has never existed Ia
his herd. although It has often caused
trouble In bis neighbors' lots on adjofn-
ing farms. Moreover, he has never
vaccinated a hog. Regarding vaccina-
ton as last resort. he says that his
freedom from cholera is due to the
preventive and quarantine measures
he has followed.
To begin with, this mans hog lots
are situated back from the road. There
are no streams through the lots. The

took the first train for home. AS the
miles whirled backward under the
wheels of the train his heart grew
heavier. He was glad that it was
midnight when he arrived at the VII
lage. 1t was the last train.
He crept down the familiar road
from the station, and his heart beat
faster as he neared his fathers house.
AS he expected. everything was dark,
but he pushed open the gate and strobe
up the path unashamed, for he knew
he was innocent, and now he had
ground pride under foot. He must
make them believe that he was inno-
cent.
As he reached the front door a light
appeared In the front hall. He could
see 1t shining through the fanlight over
the door. Somebody was coming.
The door opened, and his mother
stood there. tall and straight in her
white gown. Behind her was Leona
Denham in a loose wrapper. Coming
down the stairs was his father.
1--WE heard your step, Sammy" half
sobbed his mother as he took her in
his arms.
"Then-you-wanted me to come
back?" he stammered as Leona seized
one hand and his father the other.
"Yes. We could not understand why
you went The matter had not been
thoroughly investigated. Your father
suspected jeremiah, and finally Jere-
miah confessed that he had placed the
securities In a bag and expressed them
to the city to fictitious name and ad-
dress. We shall endeavor to recover
them. and the case against jeremiah
will be dropped If they are recovered.
Leona wants it that way"
AS she spoke Mrs. Walton was lead
ing the way to the sitting room, and
as they reached it Sam Walton placed
the bag. which had proved to be a
prize package indeed. on the table and
babe them open 1t.
And as the old people looked and ex-
claimed and wondered he took Leona
into his arms and kissed her.

GOVERNOR URGES
ASSEMBLY, AVOID
A STRIKE TIE UP

ATLANTA, Ga, March 16.-Goyernor
Harris, when told of the dispatches
announcing decision of the railroad
workers to call a strike at 6 o'clock
Saturday. the effect of which will
reach over the South by Sunday, at
the same hour, said:
While the governor still sincerely
hopes trouble of that kind will not
come, and some method will be de-
vised to obviate it, l would especially
ask that attention of the members CT
TIE legislature be called to the situa-
ton / ask that the members keep
themselves posted on the developments
ard if it is found that the roads are
going to be tied up in such a way that
travel in Georgia will be interfered
with they make their arrangements, il
possible, so that they may reach At
lanta before the tie-up becomes eff
fective in this state. 1t is important
to the members that they give serious
consideration to the situation, watch
developments and act accordingly"
The parliamentary situation in re-
spect to the assembling of the legis-
ature is that the proclamation con-
yoking an extra session has gone out
and must stand. If it develops on
Tuesday that there is not quorum of
the senate and house present that does
not adjourn the Legislature, but those
of the members who are here will have
to carry over from day to day the ses-
sion until quorum has arrived. The
session could not be adjourned sine
die, except by joint resolution, and the
only method provided for the governor
to prorogue the session would be by
the two houses refusing to agree on a
time of adjournment.

NEW YORK, March (CompiIe&
by the Associated Press from authen-
tic cables during the day. .)-Grand
Duke Nicholas ranks today as the Rus
sian master strategist and looms as
the one big military figure in the en-
pire which has just witnessed sue
cessful and almost bloodless revolt
tion and abdication of the Emperor.
His REIMBURSEMENT of the throne auto
matically deprives the former En-
peror of his rank as commander-in-
chief af the Russian armies, while the
heir to the throne is now an infant,
Grand Duke Michael the de-
throned Emperor's brother, who has
been made regent while a soldier,
lacks commanding experience.
Grand Duke Nicholas, who was last
reported at the head of Russian armies
in the Caucasus region, it is reported
today has arrived at Petrograd and is
probably already in command of the
troops there.
There seems no doubt of the COM
plete success of the revolution, the
whole army, except a few reactionary
officers already backing the civil au-
thorities who are working to restore
normal life in the cities and through
out the country. The Duma, as the
chief factor in shaping the course OF
the new regime, is engaged in the
framing of general measure ex-
tending political amnesty, and aiding
in the betterment of the food situa-
ton. The people generally are aiding
the authorities in repressing any ex-
cesses.

Is ONLY FOURTEEN
BUT WANTS TO BE SOLDIER

ATLANTA, Ga, March 16.-Master
Earl Pilgrim, of this city, is only four
teen years old. and nothing but the
circumstance of his tender age pre-
vents him from wearing the uniform
Of an American soldier in the regular
army, for he walked into the local re-
cruiting office yesterday and presented
himself for enlistment, declaring he
was ready to lick the Germans for
plotting against the United States and
to take on few Japs and Mexicans foc
good measure if they wanted to fight.
Wearing his khaki scout uniform and
with erect shoulders and chin held
high. Master Earl presented soldierly
figure in spite of his tender years, and
it was with genuine regret that the re-
cruiting officer turned him down, for
in the boy he recognized the sort OF
material that Uncle Sam is anxious to
enlist in the regular army.

Wilson To Move This Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, y. c., March 16.-
President Wilson is expected to make
his first movement to prevent a ma
tion-wide railroad strike after today :;
cabinet meeting. The president hao
cancelled the regular cabinet meeting,
but after receiving reports from the
New York conference, he summoned
cabinet members to assemble this af-
ternoon.
The general impression prevails that
the president will appeal to both sides
not to plunge the country into strike
at this critical juncture in international
affairs, although what more the presi-
dent intends doing has not been dis
closed. 1t is known that some OF his
advisers hold the view that the presi-
dent has full constitutional authority
to take over the railroads of the ma
ton and draft officials and men to Op-
crate them on the ground of national
emergency, but if he intends to take
such drastic steps no intimation there
OF has been made.
Some officials pointed out this af-
ternoon that while the president un-
doubtedly favored granting the con-
tentions of the men last fall when the
matter was merely controversy be-
tween the men and the railroads, the
present situation concerns the govern
ment so vitality until it overshadows
everything else. A part of the cabinet
is said to favor Inauguration of the
strike. arguing it would be successful
in a brief period before the industries
NJ the nation badabeen seriously inter
fered with.

NOTHING LOCALLY IS
KNOWN OF THE TIME
Faint Hope For a
Patch to Avoid
Strike

NEW YORK, March 16.-Both sides
in the threatened railroad strike con-
troversy expressed willingness today
to hold more joint conferences, al
though the situation appeared devoid
of any compromise being reached that
would avoid strike.
1t appeared at noon that both sides
are marking time. pending possible ac-
tlon by President Wilson.
Both sides to the controversy helo
separate conferences this afternoon,
but neither made any public move TO
prevent Inauguration of the strike.
To enable them to meet the situa-
tion with a minimum financial loss,
the railroad managers began advising
individual railroads late today that
an embargo on perishable frieghts is
advisable

BELLE IVES FAIR
WILL DRAW FROM
VIDE TERRITORY

That the territory from which the
Third Agricultural District Fair will
draw its patronage is one of the fin
est in the South, was the opinion ex-
pressed yesterday by George T
Barnes, of Montgomery, Ala, secretary
OF the Alabama State Exposition.
Mr.. Barnes was in Americus as the
representative of the c. w. Parker
Show Company, and signed contract
with the directors of the Third Agrl-
cultural District Fair to bring the
Parker shows to this city for the big
exposition on November 12-17.
For the past 10 years Mr. Barnes
has been identified in one way or an
other with fairs in the South, ana
his successful handling of the Ala
bama State Exposition has stampel
him as an efficient executive in this
line
With all southwest Georgia to draw
from, you have a territory for the
Third Agricultural District Fair that
is uneXcelled in the South" said he.
You have good roads in this terri
tory and the enormous number of au-
tomobiles operated in Southwest Geor-
gia is another potent reason why
Americus should attract an immense
patronage to the fair here this fall,
he continued.
From Secretary Fenimore. l learn
that there are 19 counties in the
Third Agricultural district, and by
energetic work you should be able
to secure comprehensive exhibits from
every one of them, but visitors will be
attracted from a territory far more
extensive than even these 10 coun-
ties" declared Mr.. Barnes,
The Alabama secretary urged the
importance of beginning Immediately
tC thoroughly advertise the Third
Agricultural District Fair throughout
Southwest Georgia, and suggested de-
tails which will aid in giving wide
publicity to the exposition in every
section of the territory from which it
may be expected to draw patronage
The directors of the fair had a con
ference with Mr.. Barnes yesterdaq,
and the work of advertising the expo
sition will be take1 up without delay.

SECOND TRIAL Of
WADE CASE COST
COUNTY $4,000

According to figures compiled fy
court officials, the expense to Sumter
county in the second trial of DR.
Charles K. Chapman, charged with the
murder of Walter Wade, was $1,959.48
This total includes the costs paid
thus far, although it is expected that
several nonresident witnesses are yet
to be heard from, and if this proves to
be the case, their fees will increase
the above amount.
The first trial of DR.. Chapman cost
Sumter county trife less than the
trial just concluded, although the diff.
ference was not great. In the first
trial the expense to the county was
about $1,8O0.
The expense account for the second
trial would have been considerably in
creased were there included in it any
fees to the sheriff's department for the
serving of jury summons to the 225
jurors.
At the next meeting of the county
commissioners many items of ex-
pense connected with the trial of the
Wade case will be passed upon and by
that time it is expected that the entire
cost of the case to the county will have
been computed beyond doubt
