Mrs. Budlong specialized in detecting
newly welded people and she was
seldom mistaken. Her cleverness
along this line sometimes amounted
to clairvoyancy, but, in this instance,
no one needed to be supernaturally
gifted to recognize the earmarks, for
no man could look so radiantly hap
by as Wallie unless he had inherited
a million dollars-or married the girl
he wanted.
Miss Mary Macpherson threw her
arms about her nephew's neck and
kissed him with an impetuosity seem
ingly incompatible with lady who
wore high starched collar In sum-
mer, and the others welcomed him
with a warmth which made his eyes
grow misty.
1t was hard to believe, as he looked
at them beaming upon him in genuine
fondness, that only a few short
months before they had been barely
speaking to him, or that he had
wished The Happy Family had, as the
saying is, single neck that he might

Above the volley of questions and
chatter he heard old Penrose's queru

LAST RAIL CLAIM
AGAINST u. S. PAID
GOVERNMENT OPERATION OF
ROADS AT LAST A CLOSED
INCIDENT. COST BILLION.

All claims arising out OF government
wartime control of the railroads have
been settled, James c. Davis, director
general of the railroads has reported in
a message to President Coolidge
The last cent of government eXpen-
diture was paid out before the first OF
the year, Mr.. Davis reported, and now
there will be a steady income to the
government from the railroad securi-
ties representing government invest
ment made in the roads during and af-
ter control. Mr. Davis estimated that
the total cost of taking over the roads
was 696000,000.
When the roads were turned back
to their owners claims fled against
the government amounted to S1,0l4,-
397, O0O. On Dec. 81 Mr.. Davis had ad-
iusted S763, 1000 of these claims by
paving $242,828,000 in cash to creditor
roads. But he had also demanded and
received S192, 100000 from the same
roads.
The actual net cost to the govern
ment in the settlement of this total OF
damage and compensation claims
from the railroads was $40, 1872, 600

WILSON WITH THOSE
OPPOSED TO BONUS
INFLUENCE EXPECTED TO
COUNT WHEN TEST COMES.
MAY MAKE VIEWS PUBLIC.

WASHINGTON - Another reason
for belief in the ultimate defeat of the
soldiers bonus bill at this session is
the attitude of ex-Presdent Wilson.
On the bonus issue he has, so far,
made no public statement of any sort.
He may never make one, although,
within the last few weeks, he has been
strongly urged to do so by those who
have talked and written to him.
1t is, however, no secret i'll Wash
ington that he is not only opposed to
the bonus, but very earnestly opposed
to it. not so much on the materialistic
grounds but on the ground that the
bonus itself is not right, that it is I'M
sound in principle, that in practice it
would degrade the men who accept it,
detract from the fineness of their ser
vice to the country, clash with the
spirit that inspired the American army
in France and the American people
back of the army at home, and be
wholly out of harmony with Ameri-
can ideals and professions.
That, say his friends, is very in
adequate expression of the way Mr..
Wilson feels on this subject

That the cotton acreage in Terrell
county this year will be reduced de
spite the recent freeze, which is ex-
pected to have killed many boil wee
wills, and the prevailing price OF cotton
is the opinion advanced by a number
of citizens who are in intimate touch
with the cotton situation. Estimates
Of the acreage for this year run from
80 to 95 per cent. of that planted in
cotton last year.
Much of the land in cotton last year
will be planted in feed stuffs, some will
be planted in peanuts and some in the
minor money crops.
In 1928 Terrell produced 1000 bales
OF cotton, approximately hall OF the
Weld of 1922 This is ascribed to the
excessive rain, which not only in itself
did considerable damage but greatly
increased the ravages of the boil wee
vii.
1t is not expected that there will be
any revolution either for or against
cotton production Terrell county
farmers have always been able to pro-
duce cotton whether or not the crop
was a success financially. Thus it re-
mains that cotton will continue to be
the money" crop in the county for
time to come.

county were asked their opinion OF the
probable cotton acreage this year and
A few stated that they believed it
would be increased, some that it
would be practically the same as last
year. and others that it would be re-
duced. The latter were in the ma
jority.
A number of factors enter into the
discussion and appear to be in favor
of a reduction in the acreage Among
these is the scarcity of labor, the con-
sequent high wages that will have to
be paid and the fear of repetition of
the unfavorable season of last year.
Numerous factors in the county are
working in favor of diversification. A
recent hog sale resulted in three car
loads being sold at prices considerably
above what was expected. Among
other reasons, and perhaps the most
important, is the realization that the
lone crop system" is a failure and an
increasing belief in the necessity OF
Investigation.
With this opinion being strength
ened through successful and profitable
sales of other products, notably poul-
try and live stock, farmers are being

Acrimonious Debate.
Amid acrimonious debate, marked by
charges Of gag rule, partisan poll
tics" and "thwarting the will OF the
people" the foregoing decision regard
ing the presidential preference primary
in Georgia was reached at meeting OF
the state democratic executive COM
mittee held here Saturday.
Onlv about 40 members OF the COM
mittee attended and there was sharp
division over the date for holding the
primary. after charges were made
that the McAdoo supporters were en-
deavoring to rush the primary through
before other candidates have chance
to make a campaign.
lanes A. Holloman. who IS the
Washington representative OF the At

national politics, declared the plan 1or
an early primary was a McAdoo move

the delegations before they tnd out
that McAdoo can't make the grade III

There is not the slightest chance
for either McAdoo or Underwood to
receive the nomination and they both
know it." Mr.. Holloman said. Sam

AWFUL CONDITIONS
AN APPEAL IS MADE TO THIS
COUNTRY TO HELP STRICK-
EN- GREEK REFUGEES.

Conditions in Greece are described
as deplorable in a cablegram to this
country from Henry Morgenthau,
former United states ambassador to
Turkey. now chairman of an inter
national commission for the relief OF
Greek refugees.
Mr.. Morgenthau said that more than
100000 refugees from Asia Minor are
in danger of starvation and that i'm
mediate relief is needed.
The Greek treasury is about de
pleted and the funds for relief are not
available in that country. The English
have established headquarters where
10000 destitute women and children
are led one meal daily. These meas
ures are hope1essly inadequate, how
ever. and Mr.. Morgenthau is appeal
ing to this country to come to the
assistance Of the stricken people.

OF quininc are needed to combat the
disease.
