MACON, Ga, January 15.-Maj. Au-
gustus Peabody Gardner of the 121st
(second Georgia) Infantry died at the
base hospital at Camp Wheeler at $40
o'clock yesterday afternoon of pneu-
monia He had been i'll only a few
days. Mrs. Gardner arrived from her
home at Hamilton, Mass, Sunday and
had been almost continuously at the
bedside of her husband. until late yes
terday. When her husband failed
longer to recognize her Mrs. Gardner
suffered a breakdown and was taken
to her hotel, where she received the
news of the death shortly after the
former representative had expired.
Two weeks ago Maj. Gardner ac-
companied his battalion to the rifle
range. There he contracted a severe
cold, which developed into pneumonia
and caused his death.
Maj Gardner gave up his seat in
Congress to do what his friends said
he believed to be a greater work for
his country-that of offering his serv-
ices to the Army. Although fifty-two
years of age, but apparently in robust
health, Mr.. Gardner was accepted and
assigned to Camp Wheeler, where he
was given the commission of adjutant
of the 31st (Dixie) Division.
The former, representative had been
extremely popular with both officers
and men ever since arrival. Although
Mai. Gardner attended but few social
functions, he was present at several
club and business luncheons, and al
ways dealt with war problems in
serious vein, urging the fullest sup
port of the President in every de-
tail.
Second Officer to Die at Camp.
Maj. Gardner was the second officer
to die at the Camp Wheeler base hos
pital, the other being Maj. Weil Of
New York. who was head of the medi-
cal department of the hospital.
Mayor Glen Toole last night issued a
proclamation on the death of Maj.
Gardner, ordering all flags of the city
at half-mast and requesting all busi-
ness houses to lower their flags to
half-mast out of respect to him.
The body of Maj. Gardner left Macon
this morning for Washington, D. c..
where it will lie in state for several
days, the interment to take place in
Arlington cemetery. Besides Mrs. Gard
ner the body was accompanied by Mai.
keenan, of the 1o6th Sanitary Train.
who will represent the Dixie division
as the military escort. Maj. keenan,
is also a close personal friend of the
Gardner and Lodge families.

Persistent Advocate of

CONGRESS TO Go to War

| Members of Congress. those in the
military circles and citizens generally
mourned today the death of Maj. Gard

Washington and activity in Congress
he had made a host of friends His in

Congress, eliminating in his laying
down his work in Congress at the out
break of the war, and, although
grandfather joining the Army, aroused
the patriotic regard Of the people gem
orally.
After continuous service as repre-
sentative from the sixth congressional
district of Massachusetts, he resigned
last year, when war was declared, to
paredness, for a bigger Army and a

Gardner was commissioned "a colonel

CONFIRMED

Reports have been received by
wire that District Judge Reed
Holloman has signed the decree
selling the New Mexico Central
railroad to the New Mexican

ganized under the laws of the
state of Delaware. Following
the receipt of this news, the re-

of the new railway company, all
of the property.
Because Mr.. Richardson for

ager of the road, the transfer
required but a short time as he
was familiar with the details to
be gone into.
General Manager Richardson
made two important announce
ments this morning: One is that
the road has employed chief
engineer and the other is that
the work of improving the road
already has begun.
The new chief engineer is
Charles S. Henning, formerly
with the Ell Paso and South
western railway. Mr.. Henning
is considered as one of the ablest
engineers in the west and the
fact that he will have direct
charge of the rehabilitation Of
the road is regarded as auspici-
Gus.
The work of rehabilitating the
road was begun just north of
Torrance. New ties are being
placed in position and ditching
and cuts have been made. There
is to be general improvement of
the road bed.
A material yard has been es-
tablished at the old Crichton
lumber yard here for the dis
tribution of road material.
It was stated today that there
is to be no change in railroad
schedules until the road is able
to procure additional equipment.
1t is we'll known from state
ments made in Washington that
it is extremely difficult at this
time to get locomotives and other
equipment, }, 80 great has been
the demand of the allies for such
equipment.

ARE We DOING
OUR FULL DUTY?

We have been told many times
over that this, that and the 9th
er thing would win the war
food, ships, flying machines, etc.
AS a matter of fact it takes
everything to win the war.
The four primary things nec-
essary are soldiers, food, labor.
and money.
Our soldiers can be depended
upon we know, but it takes the
other three things mentioned to
back them.
Assuming that the farmers,
miners and lumbermen of the
country will produce food and
the raw materials, it takes mon
ey to buy them. Therefore
money is not the least impor-
tant among the things necessary
to win the war. Money makes
the mare CO." and money will
make the war go. And this
brings US to the point.
Are the people of Torrance
county doing their whole duty in
the matter of putting up?"
We did next to nothing on the
first Liberty Loan.
The News Herald thiuks we
did first rate on the second Lib
erty Loan.
But a Thrift Campaign for the
sale of War Saving Stamps has
been in progress for nearly three
months, and Torrance county
people have bought less than
$1,000 worth.
Here is the approximate record
in round numbers for the differ
ent postofices of the county:
Estancia 81 500
Encino 500
Willard 400
Progresso 200
Lucy Il
Mountainair None
Cedarvale None
Moriarty None
Mcintosh None
Duran None
Negra None
Pedernal None
Palma,
Tajique, Torreon,
Manzano. Quarai,
Eastview, Scholle,
X-Ray, Varney, None
This doesn't look to US like a
good record.
What do you think about it?
Thrift Stamps are a good in
vestment, but that's a secondary
consideration.
Our soldiers can't fight on
empty stomachs with broom
sticks for weapons.
We must back up our boys.
Let's get busy and make
creditable record on this Wal
Savings Stamps business.
Every quarter helps.
Do your Bit.
