BROWN APPOINTED
TO SUCCEED PRICE
Governor Harris Made Appointment at
10 O'Clock Last Nioht-Many Were
After the Place.

Atlanta, Feb. Ex-Governor Harris
last night about 10 o'clock announced
the appointment of j. J. Brown as
commissioner of agriculture to fill the
unexpired term Of ]. d. Price from
Feb. IS; following the resignation to
day of Mr. Price.
In announcing the appointment the
governor said he had carefully gone
over all the recommendations and pc
titions of applicants and their friends
and had decided, after deliberation, to
appoint the man whom the people
have elected to be commissioner OF
agriculture. He said he did not feel
that he should compliment some man
with appointment to the short term
when the people have already shown
whom they want for the office.
Mr.. Browns appointment has been
expected for some weeks, the only ques
ton being when Mr. Prices resigna'
ton would be filed.

Man Near Dublin Shoots And Instant

Him.

Dublin, Feb. 8.-Carlton Thomas. a
negro, was shot and instantly killed
by w. W. Coxwell, yesterday after
noon at the plantation of Mrs. E. G.
Hightower, two and one-half miles
firm Dublin. e vye-witnesses corrob-
grated Coxwell's statement that he
fired at the negro in self-defense.
Coxwlls son and Thomas got into
an alteration, during which Thomas
cursed Coxwell. His father came out
and parted them before the son could
use a shotgun on the negro. While en-
davoring to get the negro quiet, the
older man led him some distance from
the scene Thomas suddenly tried to
cut Cromwell with big knife, making
several lunges at him. Cromwell pull
ed his pistol and fred three times,
backing until he reached wire fence.
The negro fell and Cromwell came to
town and gave himself up to the sher-
if, who Immediately investigated the
matter and found that Cromwell acted
in self-defens. AS no warrant was
sworn gu against him, Cromwell was
released.

CHARGES WASHINGTON
With TREATY BREACH
Berlin Editor Claims German Subjects
Are CompuIsorly Detained in Uni
ted States.

Berlin, Feb. 9.-In prominently dis
played leader the Lokal Anzelger this
afternoon charges the United States
with a breach of treaty obligations in
"compulsorily defining" in America
German subjects, under the treaty OF
1899, who are entitled, even in the
case of actual outbreak of war, to
pursue their avocations unmolested.
Recalling the charges of the violation
of treaties a ndthe law of nations,
made against Germany in the earlier
days of the war, the Tnzeiger contin-
ued:
1.-THE breach of diplomatic relations
with the United States will probably
be made again the occasion Of level
ing against us charges Of breaking
treaties and international law in or
der to mobilize the Indignation of the
whole world against our shameful acts
1t is therefore not at all an act OF
superogation to point out now, while
the deed is still fresh, that the United
States, simultaneously with the breach
of relations has been guilty of an I'M
justified breach of treaty in confiscat-
ing Germany property contrary to
treaties between them and Germany
and condemning German subjects
whose profession in the words of
clause % of the treaty of 1899 serves
the sustenance of the general veal
of humanity to compulsory detention.
This in spite of the fact that the cited
article prohibits any molestations of
Ger amnusbjects in the United States
even in the case of war
''If treaties are thus trodden under
foot after a breach of diplomatic re-
Iations, when President Wilson's
phrase that Americans are sincere
friends of the German nation is still
ersounding what have we to expect if
the contingency for which we must be
prepared arrives and if war breaks

out? If we cannot prevent breach OF
treaty, we must at least call attention
clearly, and Immediately, to the fact
that the United States government has
violated the treaty Of 1899 and the
general principles of the law of ma
lions before Germany has undertaken
anything which could give the slight
est shadow of a pretext for such an
action"

NO IMPROVEMENT IN MANKIND
Physician Believes Nations of An. tlqulty Were of as High Type
 as Those of Modern Days.

The marvellous progress of the last fifty years has lulled us into sense of self-confidence and security as re- gards our racial progress, says Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, medical director of the Life Extension institute, in an article in the Scientific Monthly. Doc tor Fisk believes that civilization has not improved mankind. He writes
 'I do not think we have any evi- dence that man as an organism, wheth- CT in regard to his physical or mental capacities, now presents higher av- craze type than characterized the na- tons of antiquity. Indeed so far as his physical structure is concerned. there is much evidence to the con- trary, and think we may be assured that the great minds of antiquity would have made equally good use of present-day knowledge if they were with us today and in a position to utilize it.'

TRIED TO RUN LEFT-HANDED
President Tener Tells of Batter Who Had Switched Positions at Plate

John K.

Bat ters seldom faced them, and some bat ters, including Dickerson, had but a hazy idea of what they looked like. One day he faced one, however, and was bewildered. His mate suggested that he turn around and bat right handed. He did so, grounded toward the left instead of the right, as he gen. orally did when batting left-handed, and so fixed was the habit of turning from the side of the plate on which he stood that he dashed down the line to- ward third base.r

 Jem Darcy knocked twice at the front door of the little weather-beat- en cottage. Then he went around to the rear.
 'This is certainly the place." he soliloquized. Answers the descrip- ton and all that. There doesn't seem to be anybody about. Probably this Miss Wilson is in town shopping, or that like. I'll hang around and wait. ." Jem sat down on the broken door, step, wearied but patient. In fact, he was glad to rest. Many a long mile he had tramped it that day, and the wind was cold and biting and his shoes old and worn. Jem was a tramp, one of that vast army lost in the whirl of the undercrust. Discouragement had come at twenty-five; at thirty, he was 8 homeless wanderer.
 Until a few weeks previous he had a pal, and to him Bob Wilson had been the only man he had ever trusted and liked. Bob was human, sober and philosophical and he soon won Jem from housing in the crowded unsani- tary city. He was always hitting the road. Its variety and delights, for there were many, filled in his ambi- ton. A barn loft, haymow, a shel- tered nook in the woods, free and easy cookery of contributed edibles, hike through new territory-these features added to health and came readily. linen one day Bob broke down. Jem Earried him to the nearest hospital and Eas with him when he died These were his last words:
 i've never told you, but I have a sister living at Vaudeville, unless she's dead. She mourned for many year, but it was no use, wasn't respect able and couldn't go back to her." want you to see her and tell her that I may have been worthless, but nev- CT bad. Tell her spent my last years loving nature, and that means loving God.'
 And upon the pathetic mission Jem was now at the end of his long jour- ney. He had mended up his grimed
