GREAT IS SOUTH
SAY THE AD MEN
BOOSTERS OF MANY SOUTHERN
STATES GATHER IN ATLANTA
FOR ANNUAL MEETING.
ADVERTISING IS ADVOCATED
Every Address the Value of Pub¬
licity Was Stressed by the
Advertising Men.
Atlanta.—Patriotism was the key¬
note struck by the Southeastern Di
vision of the Ad Men's Club' of Araer
ica at its session in Atlanta. About
two hundred men, interested in pub
licity, from the Rio Grande to the
Atlantic coast assembled for the
meeting. They did not talk about
themselves. They talked about what
they had done, might do and “would
do for their partciular city and sec¬
tion and gave their fellows the ben¬
efit of their advice.
Thomas E. Basham of Louisville,
Ky„ declared that every city in the
Souih should appropriate a fund for
advertising itself and its resources.
He held that every city in the South
is worthy of advertising. Throughout
the entire program the note re¬
sounded. .
The Alabama delegation was par
ticularly noticeable. They came with
a two-fold purpose. Birmingham and
Montgomery each sent big represen¬
tations. Each of them wore a but¬
ton, -which announced that they were
for Oscar Underwood for president,
and a badge declaring that Birming¬
ham should have the meeting in 1913.
The delegates gladly accepted buttons
and badges.

MAJ.-GEN. F. C. AINSWORTH.
Adjutant General of the Army.
was brought about in a letter to him
from the secretary of war, which bris¬
tled with sharp criticism.
General Ainsworth's removal is con
sidered to be the outcome of many
years of struggle for control between
the line arid the staff of the army.
Suspension of General Ainsworth,
the first that ever has occurred in
the office of the adjutant general,
caused a profound sensation in army
and congressional circles.
Aged Millionaire Weds Georgia Miss.
New York.—Edward B. Alsop, 73
years old, a wealthy retired Pittsburg
steel manufacturer, and Miss Effie
Pope Hill, 19 years old, of Washing¬
ton, Ga., were married here in Trin¬
ity church, with the bridegroom's two
grown sons, Harold and Edward Al¬
sop, students at Harvard, as witness¬
es. The wedding was originally to
have been on March 13, but the young
bride herself decided to hasten the
ceremony. Mr. Alsop met Miss Hill
in Washington, D. C., about two years
ago.
Dying Man Says He Slew Goebel.
Helena, Ark.—That he murdered
Gov. William Goebel of Kentucky, in
cold blood at Frankfort, in January,
1900, was the dying declaration of
James Gilbert, ex-feudist of Breathitt
county, Kentucky, who was fatally
wounded in a pistol fight with a bar¬
tender here.
Louisville, Ky.—The name of James
Gilbert did not appe’hr in the proceed¬
ings of the Goebel trial, and persons
who were in close touch with the
Frankfort tragedy were not impress¬
ed with the Gilbert confession.
Bandits Raid Taxicab.
New York.—Twenty-five thousand
dollars in currency was stolen from
'a taxicab in the heart of the down¬

highwaymen, who sprang into the ve¬

and Frank Wardell, messengers of
the East River National bank at 680
Broadway. Both messesgers were
badly injured and the robbers escap¬

LIFE’S DISAPPOINTMENTS
(Copyright, 1912.)
URGE REDUCED COTTON CROP
Southern Merchants at Their Atlanta
Meeting Favor Rock Hill
Plan.
Atlanta. — The Rock Hill plan of
cotton reduction was indorsed by the
Southern Merchants' convention at
their meeting in this city, in the fol¬
lowing resolution, which was unani¬
mously adopted:
“Whereas, the South made 13,000,
000 to 16,000,000 bales of cotton in
1911, 3,000,000 more than the spin¬
ners need in any one year; and,
"Whereas, the European mills gen¬
erally and many American mills are
now buying the surplus of the last
crop to cary over into 1912; there¬
fore, he it
“Resolved, That we, the Southern
Merchants’ convention, deem it un¬
wise to encourage the production of
a large crop in 1912; because anoth¬
er bumper crop would certainly sell
for a very low price, which, in turn,
would cause general and serious de¬
moralization in business. Be it fur
• "Resolved, That we indorse the
‘Rock Hill plan' of cotton acreage re¬
duction and pledge ourselves to work
for it.”
“Another 16,000,000-bale crop of
cotton will bankrupt half the farm¬
ers in the state and hundreds of mer¬
chants,” said a speaker at the South¬
ern Merchants’ convention and the
500 and more of the most progres¬
sive business men in Dixie gathereed
in the hall at the time subscribed
to the statement.
“Plant only so much cotton as can
be raised at a profit and devote the
remainder of your endeavor to the
of corn sariMtjier crops need
believing that this i is the only
certain method of avoiding the finan¬
cial strigency which is now following
in the wake of the South's record cot¬
ton crop.”
Not only did the convention go on
record as believing that the reduc¬
tion of the cotton crop is the farm¬
er's only salvation in the matter of
better crops, but it went further and
adopted a resolution favoring the
Rock Hill plan of reduction, follow¬
ing strong addresses by prominent
men from different sections of the
state, showing the absolute necessity
of drastic and immediate action to
Remedy existing conditions relative
the price of cotton.
When the meeting was called to
order there was hardly standing room
for the merchants who came
to Atlanta to discuss problems of in¬
terest, both to them .and the farm¬
ers.
That another crop of cotton as
large as that of last year will bank¬
rupt almost half of the farmers of
the South and hundreds of merchants
was the opinion set out in a letter
^■om James M. Smith, and in the ad¬
dress of J. G. Anderson of Rock Hill,
S. C., the originator of the Pfock Hill
plan for the reduction of cotton acre¬
age.
“It is my candid opinion,” said Mr.
Smith, in his letter, “that another
16,000,000-bale crop of cotton will
bankrupt half the farmers and thou¬
sands of business men in the South.”
U. S. Will Not Intervene in Mexico.
Washington. — “Fo.olish stories”
about American intervention, circu¬
lated in Mexico through erroneous
press dispatches, have aroused so
much feeling throughout the troubled
Southern republic and so endangered
the safety of American residents
there, that the state department is¬
sued a circular to its diplomatic and
consular representatives in Mexico
denying all such stories and. reiterat¬
ing expressions of good will and sin
cerest friendship for Mexico.
Living Cost Caused Lawrence Strike.
Boston.—The fundamental cause
of tbe textile strike at Lawrence is
the high cost of living, in the opinion
of Governor Foss. In a letter to Rep¬
resentative Oscar W. Underwood, the
Democratic leader of the Federal
house of representaives, Governor
Foss urges the immediate removal of
the duties from foodstuffs and other
necessaries of life. The letter says,
in part: “Back of whatever local
causes there may be for this strike,
the fundamental cause is the high
cost of living.”
Directors Held for Banks’ Loans.
Washington.—Comptroller of the
Currency Murray announced that he
would strictly enforce the law which
holds directors of national banks lia¬
ble for losses sustained through loans
in excess of legal amounts. He in¬
structed national bank examiners,
when such losses are discovered in
future, to request the board of di¬
rectors of the institution affected to
pass a resolution setting forth the
names of the directors responsible
for the excess loan.
NEW PRESIDENT OE CHINA
DR. SUN YAT SEN RESIGNS AND
CHINESE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
ELECTS THE EX-PREMIER.
Retiring President and Present Cabi¬
net Will Hold Office Until New Pres¬
ident and Cabinet Take Oath.
Nanking, China.—The national as¬
sembly unanimously elected Yuan Shi
Kai president of the republic and
then decided that the provisional cap¬
ital shall be Nanking.
Dr. Sun Yat Sen's resignation of
the presidency of the Chinese repub¬
lic was accepted bjf the national as¬
sembly on condition that both he and
the present cabinet hold offitv. until
the new presidnlt and cabinet take
over their duties.
In the letter totthe assembly in
which he offers to resign, Doctor Sun
says:
“Yuan Shi Kai has declared that
he adheres unconditionally to the
national cause. He would surely
prove a loyal servant of the state.
CHINA’S SEC#ND PRESIDENT.
YUAN SHI KAI.
of Besides constructive this, Yuan ability Shi Kai is a whom man j
upon j
our united nation looks with the hope j
that he will bring about the consoli- I
dation of its interests. The happi- ;
ness of our country depends upon our j
choice. Farewell.”
The national assembly afterwards
passed a resolution paying great trib¬
ute to Doctor Sun.
Taft Submits Boil Weevil Report.
Washington.—The president for¬
warded to congress a special report
by experts of the department of agri¬
culture on the Mexican cotton boll
weevil. There has been so much de¬
mand for the information that the
president asked a special congres¬
sional print of it. Secretary of Agri-!
culture Wilson in an accompanying
letter said that since 1905 the wee¬
vil had spread throughout Louisiana
and entered Arkansas, Mississippi and
Alabama and threatened to invade the
entire cotton growing region.
Arizona Was Member of Confederacy
Phoenix, Ariz.—When President
Taft signed the proclamation admit¬
ting Arizona into the sisterhood of
states, the ceremony also marked the
fiftieth anniversary of the territory's
admission into the Southern Confed¬
eracy. On February 14, 1862, Jeffer¬
son Davis issued a proclamation to
this effect. Federal troops were sent
into Arizona from California and on
February 24, a year later, President
Lincoln signed the proclamation con¬
ferring territorial government.
Express Companies Violating Law.
Washington.—Commissioner Frank
lin K. Lane of the interstate com¬
merce commission, who has been pre¬
siding over the inquiry in the express
companies of the country, stated that
3,000 violations of law had been dis¬
covered in one day’s transactions of
one express company. The penalty for
each violation is $1,000. It is esti¬
mated that 10,000 cases could easily
be made by the commission against
the companies. The total fines would
amount to $100,000,000.
X VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE
It is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more at¬
tention as they control the other or¬
gans to a remarkable degree and do a
tremendous amount of work In remov¬
ing the poisons and waste matter
from the system by filtering the blood.
During the winter months especial¬
ly when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist¬
ance when needed, as we take less ex¬
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than
Nature intended. Evidence of kidney
trouble, such as lame back, inability
to hold urine, smarting or burning,
brick-ddst or sediment, sallow com¬
plexion, rheumatism, may be weak or
irregular heart action, warns you that
your kidneys require help immediate¬
ly to avoid more serious trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the mtfot heal¬
ing influence. An ideal herbal com¬
pound that has had most remarkable
success as a kidney and bladder rem-'
edy is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.

LITTLE ITEMS OF GEORGIA CHS
News Notes Gleaned From All Parts
of the State.
Sylvania.—There is a strong senti¬
ment in Screven county among the
farmers, especially amonng .hose who
are members of the Fanners’ Union,
in favor of the plan now being push¬
ed to reduce the number of acres to
be utilized in growing cotton for this
season. Governor Brown's endorse¬
ment of the plan to make this reduc¬
tion at least 25 per cent, under last
year's acreage is meeting with hearty
approval in this county, and some of
the farmers are even advocating that
this is not enough. A few will not
plant any cotton at all, but will have
their entire crop of oats, corn, peas
and other cereals. The fertilizer men
are not securing orders as readily as
they did last season, and it is doubt¬
ful if more than two-thirds of the
amount used in 1911 will be soid this
year. The farmers here do not look
upon the slight advance in the cot¬
ton market as indicating what the
price will be this fall, but rather as
a trap to secure the planting of a
bumper crop.
Waycross.—An important confer¬
ence regarding the extension of the
Atlantic, Waycross and Northern
from Kingsland to Waycross was held
at St. Marys. H. Murphey of this
city, one of the original promoters of
the line, attended the meeting, with
a number of Waycross business men.
It is understood that steps are to
be taken at once looking to the imme¬
diate extension of the line as far as
Waycross, when further construction
will be provided for. The railroad com¬
pany has secured control of splendid
water frontage at St. Marys.
Waycross.—After spending approx¬
imately $1,000 in investigating the
many claims of various sections of
the United States as agricultural cen¬
ters, C. L. Raber of California has
purchased a farm a few miles from
Waycross and is preparing to build
his home thereon immediately. Mr.
Raber states that he has been to all
parts of Florida, into Texas, through
many middle Western states, and in
other sections of Georgia, hut until
he came to Waycross he did not find
a cliamte or soil to his notion. Now
he is so completely satisfied.
Fitzgerald.—Republicans of Ben
Hill county at a mass meeting elected
George Ricker and W. M. Fuller del¬
egates to the Republican state con¬
vention to be held in Atlanta on the
14th. C. L. Jackson and W. M. Mauls
by are alternates. The (same were
also elected to attend the%third dis¬
trict convention, the time and place of
this to be determined iater.
Buchanan.—The Central of Georgia
depot at Felton, a little station seven
miles north of here, was burned to
the ground. Between three and four
hundred dollars’ worth of freight,
which was stored in the depot, was
destroyed, and this added Jo ihe loss
of the building, making railroad
a loser by about $1,000. The origin of
(hv* 4s unknown.
Waycross.—All the way from Cape
of Good Houe, South Africa, cEcern comes an
inquiry to a Waycross ask¬
ing for an option on lands suitable
for pecan culture. The party making
the inquiry states in his letter that
recently in an English newspaper,
published at London he saw' an arti¬
cle about “wonderful Georgia,” and
seeing Waycross mentioned directly
he writes for information. Only a few
weeks ago letters from Italy and Ger¬
many were received along the same
line ,as well as one from Alaska.
Washington.—A heavy snow'fall has
proved a blessing to the Wilkes-Lin
coln Farmers’ Union warehouse of
ibis city, whose large stock of cotton
was visited by fire. Although streams
of water have played on the cotton
bales on the platform of the ware¬
house almost continually for three
days, flames would break out again
in the cotton, which is exceedingly dif¬
ficult to extinguish when fire has once
got into it thoroughly. The that cotton the melt¬ men |
expressed the opinion
ing snow would subdue the smoulder¬
ing fire effectively.
Thomasville.—The people of the en
terprising town of Camilla, one of
Tliomasville’s near neighbors, are
counting on getting another railroad
through there in the near future, and
President Roberts of the Valdosta,
Fort. Gaines and Montgomery rail¬
road, has been there in consultation
with the citizens have praf^lcally
guaranteed all that has been asked
for without cost to the road of a cent.
It is also said that work on the road
will probably begin the first of April.
Waycross.—Rail laying is now in |
order with the construction forces
employed on -the street railway sys¬
tem in Waycross. About three miles
of rail for the system was placed, and
forkmen are spiking it as fast as it
can be delivered along the route. It
is now expected that the first cars
of the Waycross system will be oper¬
ated in June of this year. Grading and
tie work for several miles of road
in the city has been finished.
Thomasville.—There has been a
hustling in of cotton here ow-ing to
the rise in the price and a large lot
has been sold. Many of those who
w'ere holding hack decided to let it
go when the price reached the 10
cent mark and nearly all of the large
holders have sold out, one buyer say¬
ing that every lot of a hundred bales
c-r more that the owner had stored
was sold out. There are still a good
many holding back for 11 cents or
more, but these are al Ithe smaller
holders. The cotton bringing these
prices is the early cotton which has
been held back.
Thomasville.—That the people still
have faith in pecansfcs a paying crop
is shown by the fact that the orders
for the trees has been so large this
season that there is not a pecan tree
to be had from the nurseries here or
anyw'here in this section of the pecan
belt and numbers of orders are placed
for twelve months ahead. The pecan
crop this season has been rather short
in this section, it being an off year
w’ith the seedlings and the majority
of the groves of paper shell being yet
too young to bear large crops. The
paper shell nut is said not to have
off years in bearing.

"No wonder that young man is so,
