When the crown prince called to see
me again I was surprised to find a
considerable change in his general ap'
pearance. Although, Of course, he was
ten years older, he had aged more
than I would have expected. There
were lines on his face which made him
look older than his thirty-three years.
In the outer world he was generally
believed to be one Of the leading spir-
Its Of the military party in Germany,
but among his own people he was not
credited with sufficient ability or In
duence to be much Of q factor. In
deed, within the past year he had been
criticized rather severely In army cir.
cles for his indifference to the crisis
In which his country was involved and
for not taking the wal seriously
enough, and from all I raj able to
observe Of him during the visits he
paid me after the resumption Of our
relations, these criticisms were well
founded. The newspapers, however.
which were naturally inspired, always
brought his name to the front when
ever the army he was accredited to
made any successful showing just as
they did In the case Of the kaiser.

he was In good humor.
Nevertheless he had but little to say.
His criticism of MI. Wilson on this oc-
casion I have recorded elsewhere In
these pages.
In June Of 1917, after the great army
headquarters had been removed to
Homburg v. d. Hohe, and Krenznach
1.-TWO neighboring villages) I was called
there to see the kaiserin, and three
weeks later I went there again to see
the kaiser. I noticed at the station the
kaiser's private train composed Of five
dark green cars upon each of which
was plainly marked the imperial coat
Of arms. The cars had special folding
steps.
Two rooms were assigned to me on
one Of the upper floors Of the palace
and my meals consisted Of the same
kind Of food as I had always had be-
fore the war, although the hunger cpl
demic vas raging throughout the coun-
try. It was almost worth the trip for
the sake Of the meals alone.

Il would be three O'Clock before he
would be ready for me again. He never
allowed anything TO interfere with his

MEASURE TO PRICE
COTTON WON'T PASS
MAYOR WEAVER, WHO WENT TO
WASHINGTON WITH COMMIT
TEE, HAS RETURNED HOME.

Mayor J. D. Weaver, who went to
Washington last week as a member
of a special delegation appointed by
the recent state farmers convention
to protest against the Emerson bill
to fix the price of cotton, returned
home Thursday convinced that no leg
islation of the kind will be attempt
ed at this session of congress. Other
members of the delegation were J.
H. Mills, state president of the
Farmers Union, A. W. Evans, of
Sandersville, and J. H. Boykin, of
Sylvania.
The delegation conferred with
Congressman Gordon Lee, the Geor-
gia member of the house agricultural
committee, Senators Smith and Hard
wick and other Georgia congressman
regarding the proposed legislation,
and was informed that legislation
would not be framed without hearing
from the side of the cotton growers,
nor was it at all likely that the mat
ter would come up at this session.
There is no prospect of any cotton
price bill being considered at this
session of congress. In fact, unless
the president strongly urges it there
will be no such legislation during the
war. Only the exertion of active and
strong administration influence could
bring about serious discussion of
the movement to interfere with the
natural law of supply and demand
as related to the sOuth's staple crop.

LONDON MAY CHOOSE The
HORSE FOR Her FOOD SOON
Sees Example of France, Where the
Quadruped's Succulent Flesh Fills
More Than 900 Paying Shops.

PARIS.-England is beginning to
talk about eating horsefesh as an
unpleasant but possible eventuality
of the future. In France there has
never been the same prejudice
against horse meat, and the horse
has been a recognized and much
used article of diet among the less
wealthy. Horse steak, finely minced,
is widely prescribed by French ply
sicians to be eaten raw as a tonic by
weak persons and sickly children.
In Paris and its suburbs there are
about 1000 butcher shops where on
ly horse meat is sold, and their aver
age trade is four or five horses each
week. They sell nothing but horse
meat, because the law forbids the
sale except in special shops, But they
do not hide shamefacedly up back
streets. There are several within
stones throw of the Madeleine and
a half dozen within easy shopping dis

SIX THOUSAND DEATHS FROM
PELLAGRA IN u. S. IN 1918
Dawson Postmaster Receives Pam
phlet Giving Interesting Data.

Postmaster W. B. Cheathom has
received a copy of report from the
United States public health service
showing that $4,000 persons in this
country last year were afflicted with
pellagra and 5000 died as a result
of the disease.
The report points out that studies
of the public health service show pei
lagra is not communicable, and is
caused ''by unbalanced diet, consist
ing mainly of cereals, starches and
fats, with but little of the animal
flesh foods or milk"
1t is shown that the disease may
be prevented by diet including suf-
ficient quantities of milk, lean meat,
beans, peas and green vegetables. It
is said the same diet will cure cases
of pellagra which are not too far ad-
vanced.

DEEP SEA MONSTER is
WORLDS MARINE MYSTERY

paratus so it was unable to return
to its native depths.
Its hide is three inches thick and
enabled it to withstand the most enor-
nous water pressure, a pressure al
most uncomfortable 10 man. Its ewes.
which are very small, have no lids and
were never closed, indicating that it
lived at a depth where eyes were of
no avail.
The creature is not classified in
natural history, the genus or species
Is unknown and it is not only the
most remarkable geological specimen
but the largest specimen of the fish
tribe known in history.
Although the largest fish ever cap
tured, scientists claim it was only a
baby of its tribe and if it had lived
to attain full growth it would have
been two and one-half times as large.
Every undertaking establishment
on the Florida east coast from Jack
sonville to Key West gave up their
entire supply of formaldehyde to
preserve the monster and over nine
teen barrels were used.
Many Marvellous Marine Creatures.
Second only in interest to the Deep
Sea Mystery is Captain Thompson's
marvellous display on his yacht of
marine life, which is considered one
of the finest and most complete pri-
vate collections in America.
Among the rare specimens are an
octopus, one of the most repulsive
creatures imaginable; a devil-fsh;
hammerhead shark; angel fish; a
giant sail fish, with sail two and
one-half feet long and one and half
feet wide; a giant barracuda over
seven feet long that weighed 40
pounds and with a mouth and teeth
large enough to bite a mans arm off,
to say nothing of hundreds of other
marvels of the great deep, all of
which are shown in their natural
forms and colors.
One of the most interesting and
singular specimens of the entire col
lection is baby hammerhead shark,
with the singular elongated head
from which it derives its name. The
eyes are situated on the extreme out
er edge of the hammer" so that it
can cover an unusually wide range
of vision. The hammerheads grow to
a length of fifteen feet and bring
forth their young alive.
The tiger shark is the terror of the
seas. Growing to length of thirty
feet. they inhabit the warm waters
of the tropics and often ascend the
Gulf stream to more northerlv lati-
tudes. where they are a menace to
bathers in summer.
The angel fish is a curious creature
whose place in nature is midway be-
tween the shark and the ray. Their
large pectoral fins projecting far out
on each side have a fancied resem-
blance to wings, which is their only
angelic feature.
Few creatures of the sea have a
more horrible appearance than the
octopus, about which some of the
most gruesome stories ever written
have been told. Another interesting
specimen of marine life is the giant
sail fish. Captain Thompson's speci-
men is one of the largest ever cap
tured on the east coast, measuring
seven feet in length.
Other specimens are a giant sword
fish, giant jew fish, leather fish, dol
phin, amber jack, parrot fish, porcu-
pine fish and others too numerous to
mention, all Of which are the best
specimens obtainable and in a perfect
state of preservation.

BABIES FEATURED MEETING OF
WOMAN'S TEMPERANCE UNION
Number of Little Ones, Whose We'll
fare Was Subject Under Consid-
GRAFTON, Were at Meeting.

The meeting of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union held on
Friday afternoon was in charge of
Mrs. j. R. Webb, superintendent of
the department of Mothers Meet
lngs and Baby Recruits, the very in
teresting program being a study of
the physical nature of the child and
the Importance of conserving the
health of the young life by strict ad-
herence to the laws of nature
Thoughtful papers on different phas-
es of the subject were given.
The most interesting feature of
the session was the presence of a
number of bright little recruits,
whose entrance into the work was
marked by the impressive tying on of
the white ribbon. After this the chill
dren were entertained on the lawn
while the grown-ups proceeded with
the consideration of their welfare.
The business session was featured
by reports from various superintend-
ents. The organization is abreast of
the times in war relief work and the
members were urged to continue &C.
Invites through the summer months
and so long as there is need.
The president called attention to
the Importance of securing new mem.
bers to stimulate the growth of tenn
perance sentiment, and place the To-
cal union on the honor roll.
The meeting was we'll attended and
the presence of visitors added great
ly to the interest of the occasion.

votes and . leading socialist is re-

II shows the result of wild eyed po-

seeking politicians in that state for
the past ten years.
During this period professional poll
ticians have been attacking all lines
OF established industry bigger than
a peanut stand, claiming that it was
robbing the people. grinding its en-
ployes down to poverty and controlling
the policies OF the nation.
The unthinking masses have been
fed on this doctrine Of discord and
discomfort until large number OF
them have been taught to believe 1t
regardless of its truth and have lost
sight of the foundation principle of
our government
