WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-Elab-
crate preparations TO protect the
American border from Villista raids
from Mexico were taken today. The
war department has lodged supreme
authority in the hands of the COM
handing general of the southern
department, and he had plenty Of
troops available for service.
Villas success lin taking Ojinaga
is expected to be reflected i'm the
focking TO his colors of thousands
OF malcontents. Whether. however.
he can get sufficient munitions TO
arm any additional troops is a ques-
ton here. While he is known to
have had quantities Of cannon and
munitions cached in the mountains.
all of the reports received here have
indicated that this was his sole
supply, and none is going into Mex
leo at the present time from any
point
MeXiCanS Detained.
The Carranzista soldiers who
crossed to the American side and
surrendered to Capt. Theodore
Barnes will be detained until the
state department directs what dis
position shall be made Of them. II
is expected that all will be sent
back into Mexico by some other
route so that they can avoid the
Villistas.
At the Mexican embassy here it
was stated today that government
troops already have been started
against Villa and that every effort
will be made to crush him at once.
The embassy questions the reports
from the border that Villa has 5000
men with him. They say the figure
IS less than half OF that amount.
Fire Across Border.
There have been number of
cases reported TO the war department
of Mexican bandits firing across the
border at Americans. In nearly
every case the fire was returned by
American troops. The renewed
Villista activity at this time is said
to be due to German propaganda
which again is very much in evil
dence all through Mexico.

How Buffalo Bill Got His Name.

Many years ago, when the Union Pa
cifc railroad was completed, the ques-
ton arose as to how all the laboring
men were to be fed on meat, as meat
was thought necessary to make muscle.
General w. E. Webb had the con-
tract to feed the men, and in talking
the matter over one day with some OF
his subordinates one of them suggest
ed that he call in William Cody, then a
famous government scout on the
plains, to help solve the problem. Co.
dy suggested that he be allowed to hire
men and kill buffaloes for the railroad
men.
This plan was adopted, and Cody be-
came later world famous as Buffalo
Bill. In those days the buffaloes were
so plentiful that it is on record that
more than one engineer had to stop his
train until q herd had crossed.-A. G.

Military MarshaIa.

Like many other French words re-
lating to war and hunting, 'narechal,"
in it's older form 'mareschal,'' is Of
purely Teutonic derivation in both its
parts, and the word has had a curious
history. Some words rise in the world
with the passage of the centuries and
others fall This is one that from the
very humblest of beginnings has come
to great estate.
The marshals do not owe their name
to Mars, though they are his votaries.
In the olden times they were about the
humblest men in an army-horse serv-
ants, or grOoms. Then they advanced
to the dignity Of being horseshoers,
and those highly respected artisans
are still 'marechals" in France, though
"ferrants'' has to be added to make
their calling clear. And, while mare
chal de France" is a magnificent title,
there are also ''marechals DIES logis,"
who are in cavalry regiments only
what ''sergeants" are in infantry regi-
ments.-EXchange

Gun Statutes In India.

The viceroy Of India, as representa-
tive of the ng-emperor, is entitled to
a salute Of thirty-one guns. This num-
Der had it's origin in a mistake. For
merly he was entitled to twenty -one
guns. When the time came, years ago,
for allotting the salutes to the various
native rulers of India the three prin-
ciDal of these vassal sOvereigns-name-
ly. those of Hyderabad, Mysore and
Baroda-were each accorded twenty
one guns. It was discovered little
late in the day that the superior rank
of the vicerOy had been overlooked in
the matter. and the necessity was
pointed out Of his supremacy over the
vassal rulers being emphasized in the
eyes of the natives. So instead Of re,
ducing the number Of tWenty-One guns
that had been accorded to the three
rulers in question the viceroy was Civ
en- ten more guns and is today the only
person in the world who is entitled to
that altogether exceptional number of
guns.-LOndon Spectator.

in tool building has been done in Eng

Germany has developed splen-

Mechanics in Medicine.

The value of mechanics in medl-
cine has been amply demonstrated and
the science of healing is coming to re-
gard with increasing favor the aid Of
fered by mechanical devices. The
physician, in private practice, finds II
incumbent to meet the advance made
by institutions and the result is that
the office of the modern physician is
coming more and more to resemble q

and sanatariums are being gradually
converted into health factories.

Cholera MOrbus

This is very painful and dangerous
disease. In almost every neighborhood
someone has died from it before medi-
cine could be obtained or physician
summoned. The right way is to have
a bottle of Chamberlain Collie and

to be prepared for it.. Mrs. Charles

u, S, PROSPERITY FOR
ALL MANKIND, WILSON
President Addresses Reunion Of
Confederate Veterans.

WASHINGTON = President Will
son, welcoming the confederate veter-
ans to their reunion here, declared the
country was beginning to see why the
nation was kept united. Men of the
United States, he said, have love of
liberty at heart and now are to be an
instrument in the hands of providence
for the liberty of mankind.
The President said he felt there was
some significance in the coincidence
that at the moment he was welcoming
the former host of the confederacy to
the capital of the nation they sought
to destroy, millions of young men
were registering themselves for serv-
ice to keep the world free.
"These solemn lines of young men
going today all over the union to the
places of registration" said he,
fought to be a signal to the world, to
those who dare flout the dignity and
honor and rights of the United States,
that all her manhood will flock to that
standard under which we all delight
to serve and that he who challenges
the rights and principles of the United
States challenges the union strength
and devotion of a nation.
1--WE have prospered with sort of
needless and irresponsible prosperity.
Now we are going to lay all our
wealth, if necessary, and spend all our
blood, if need be, to show that we
were not accommodating that wealth
selfishly, but were accommodating it for
the service of mankind.

Sour Stomach

This is mild form of indigestion. It
is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If you
will eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat and
none at all for supper, you will more
than likely avoid the sour stomach
without taking any medicine whatever.
When you have sour stomach take one
of Chamberlain's Tablets to aid diges-
ton.

 Degree Murder

Indianapolis, November 16.-Whether Dan Shay, former American association baseball manager, on trial here charged with second degree murder for killing a negro waiter last May, was attacked pe- fore he shot the waiter, was not cleared up by Thursdays witnesses
 Herbert Miller manager of the cafe Tn which the shooting occurred testified that did not see the shots fired, but at the report ran into the kitchen. When he returned, he said, Shay was lying on the floor Clarence Euell, the negro waiter, had hold of Shay's left hand and had his foot on the prostrate man neck He said that the negro was pulling Shays head up by the arm and shovlng it back to the floor with his foot. Shay, he said was unconscious
 MT. Miller said that he intervened and the negro ceased his attack on Shay. The
 cafe manager quoted the waiter as say ing:
 "Why shouldn't I kill him, MT. Miller! 1 He has shot me and I'm bleeding te death inside. I haven't a chance to live. ] The witness testified that at no time

Although being minus pig game for today, the local delegation of foot ball fans are promised lively scrap, when Central High school and Blount County High settles long dispute this afternoon at Redwood Field at 2;3O. Central has been practicing away into the night for the past week and should be in fine condition for the game.
 Blount arrived this morning in fair condition and expect to administer the first defeat of the season to the Gen. tral aggregation. The Blount team is a husky bunch and should make Central hustle to win. It is expected that Cen tral will present different backfield from the one that defeatel Ensley last week. Montgomery probably won berth on the varsity by his great work against Ensley last week, and it is .eX- pected that Lionel Levvy will be benched to make room for him. LevYy' s work thus far this season has been a disappointment and it is expected that he will give way to Montgomery in this afternoons game. The rest of the backfeld will be the same as before, with Jaffe at quarter, Watkins a a half opposite Montgomery, and Jackson at full.

Oil and Gas Near at Hand


 I am gratifed to know that the sec ond gas wells have proven success. l prospected the Cahaba territory in which this natural gas has been dis covered for Colonel Bush during his life time for both oil and gas. l made very careful examination and re- ported to him. I was sure both oil and gas was there in paying quantities, to be had by proper location and drilling. The colonel was so favorably inn pressed with my report that he em- ployed Dr. Caricristi, geologist and oil and gas expert from New York, to go over this territory with me. We spent five days at it. and Dr. Caricristi confirmed my report that the outlook was good. He said: He was afraid
 large part of the gas had leaked out, but that this could only be decided by l drilling test holes"
 1 never agreed with him on this point
 and we both were convinced that the 1 prospect for oil was very good We located two places to drill for oil. one l of which he was sure would prove l out new oil field. This location is 1 exactly like the Ssterville district in West Virginia, with which I am | familiar.
