Slaughter Dies In
Hospital as Wife
Is Brought in Sick
MACON, Ga.. Sept. A—Just fifteen min
utes after his wife had been lifted from
an ambulance to a cot beside him in
the city hospital, in a critical condition
with typhoid fever. J. C. Slaughter, her
husband, who had been a fever patient
at the hospital for four weeks, peaceful
ly passed away, without either of the
couple ever recognising one another. The
two cases were the saddest handled by
the hospital doctors this year, and so
appealed to the sympathy of several of
the nurses that they wept even as though
the deceased husband and sick wife were
their own relatives.
The body was carefully rolled from
the bedside of the wife to the morgue,
where it M'a’ delivered to local undertak
ers. The deceased was an ex-fireman for
the city and well known here. He leaves
his widow, who is not expected to sur
vive, one little daughter and one brother,
C. H. Slaughter, of this city.
The body will probably be interred this
afternoon in Riverside cemetery. The
sick wife is being carefully attended be
side the empty cot of her husband, en
tirely ignorant of the fact of his death.
The little daughter Is being treated now
to prevent her probable Illness with the
same malady that has stricken the en
tire family except her.
MONROE PHONE COMPANY
WOULD INCREASE RATES
Officials and attorneys for the Mon
roe Telephone company, an independent
telephone concern with exchanges in
Monroe, Bostwick and Bethlehem, ap
peared before the state railroad commis
sion Thursday morning and argued the .-
petition for a right to increase the rates
now charged tor telephone service.
A flat raise of 50 cents per subscriber
is asked for the town of Monroe. Busi
ness houses in that city now pay $2.50
per month for their phones. The com
pany desires to raise this rate to $3.
The charge for a residence phone is
$1.50 per month. It is contemplated that
this rate shall be increased to $i
J. H. Nunnally, president of the Mon
roe Telephone company, and Napier.
Wright & Cox, of Atlanta, attorneys for
the company, are representing the peti
tioner.' Opposing the proposed increases
is W. O. Dean, of Monroe, who repre
sents the mayor and council of that city
as well as a hundred or more citissns.
The petition for the right to increase
rates Is based by the company upon the
declaration that present rates do not
permit a fair return upon the invest
ment involved.
ROCKMART AGENT
IS GIVEN TWO YEARS
M M. Dowling, the railway agent at
Rockmart, who dropped out of sight last
fall and was found In Los Angeles with
$5,200 of the Seaboard Air Line’s money,
was sentenced at Cedartown Thursday
to two years in the state penitentiary.
The sentencing judge dealt with him
lightly because of his voluntary return
from California. When Dowling was
found after weeks of searching, he not
only agreed to return without the neces
sity of requisition but he came alone
with no officers to guard him.
Because of this fact his attorneys en
deavored to have his offense consid
ered as a misdemeanor instead of a fel
ony and made every effort to have his
punishment reduced to a fine or to jail
impHsonment. But the trial judge held
that Dowling had been guilty of a fel
ony.
His arrest was brought about by the
National Surety company, by which he
had been bonded.

Bean Slingers
On Strike In
Boston Hotels
(By Associated Brass.)
BOSTON. Sept. 6.—Fity waiters and
cooks are on a strike today at the Hotel
Georgian, in Park square. They sig
nalised the beginning of their strike by
a midnight demonstration in newspaper
row which the police broke up without
disorder. Leaders of the strikers,
among whom are several who directed
the recent strike of hotel workers in
New York, say that strikes will be de
clared at once in three additional hotels,
the largest in the city, unless agree
ments are reached.
The demands in Boston are practi
cally the same as those made else
where and are based upon a request foi
a $5 increase to waiters and shorte)

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WAYCROSS. Ga., Sept. 7.—Thirteen
as a number for a store is undesirable
in Waycross, according to a petition
filed with city council and which result
ed in the changing of A few numbers in
a business block to give “thirteen” the
high ball.
It seems that the store was qever
very attractive as a renting proposition,
because of the figures “13,” which were
tacked over the door. This was the
regular number assigned to the store
in carrrying out the city system of
numbering, but the owners of the prop
erty did not like it and asked for re
lief.
Ey taking down a number on a store
that happened to have an opening on
another street and was therefore dou
ble numbered, the council committee
handling the matter managed to do
away with thirteen. And immediately
thereafter the oWners found their store
in great demand

BIWABIK, Minn., Sept. 7.-Vp to an
early hour today the three imprisoned
men in the Rubby mine shaft had not
' been rescued, in spite of feverish haste
with which the crews of men worked.

BALMORAL, Scotland, Sept. 7.—-
Suffragettes invaded the grounds ot
King George's highland castle la"i
night. The king is residing here dur
ing the shooting season and a strong
forc e of police is on guard.

left signs of their daring in the shape

TWO FULL REGIMENTS
ORDERED TO MEXICO
(ay Associated rress.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Two devel
opments in the Mexican situation today
led obseryers of that situation to re
gard condtions as gravs. President Taft
ordered two full regiments of cavalry
to the border line and the Madero gov
ernment contemplated asking permission
of the United States to tiansport its
loyal troops through Texas and New-
Mexico to attack the scattered bands of
marauding rebels sallying across the
line and attacking American ranches and
stealing cattle.
After Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the army, had talked over
the telephone with President Taft at
Beverly, the Thirteenth cavalry from
Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, and the
Ninth cavalry from Fort Riley, Kansas,
were put under rush orders to join the
border patrol.
NOT TO CROSJ BORDER.
The president made it plain that un
der no circumstances were the troops to
crosa the line and that he still regarded
intervention as an act of the very last
resort.
In addition to the two regiments,
Troop C, of the Third cavalry, was or
dered to the neighborhood of last night’s
skirmish on the Victoria ranch and
Troop B, Fourth cavalry, was ordered
from Fort Huachuca to Arivaca, Arixona,
to strengthen the border patrol there.
The president authorized the export of
five hundred rifles and one hundred and
fifty thousand rounds of ammunition to
the beleaguered Americans in the Canaea
district.
The United States probably would
permit the Madero government to send
troops through Texas and New Mexico
into northern Chihuahua. Inasmuch as
the state department has demanded that
Mexico send federal troops into north
ern Mexico to protect Americans, it is
assumed the United States will co-oper
ate with Madero in an effort to do so.
The Mexican congress, however, must
first authorize the sending of troops out
of its country. This was done in the
Madero rebellion.

SOUTHERN WRECK NOT
DUE TO FAULTY TRACK
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., Sept. 7.—The railroad
crew who had charge of clearing the
main line of the Southern railroad where
the wreck occurred Thursday afternoon,
near Holton, have stated that the wreck
occurred through no fault of the track
conditions, but because of the sudden
lock of the wheels when the engineer
applied the emergency brakes. Another
cause of the wreck was the high rate of
speed the train is said to have been
proceeding when it entered the slight
curve.
Fireman James Burden, of Atlanta,
who was the most seriously injured of
any of the crew or passengers, will not
remain at the hospital here more than
a week, according to the doctors at
tending him. No bones have been found
to be broken, although his wrist and
left leg are both sprained. His most
painful injuries consist of cuts about
the head, sustained when he leaped from
the rapid moving engine. All those who
suffered any Injuries whatever and went
to the hospital for treatment have left
the institution.
The 111-fated engine. No. 1,300, and the
wrecked tender fend combination car
have been hauled to the local shops
here for repairs. The engine will under
go many repairs, and several months
will be required to place her back into
running order. \

Every Knife Guaranteed
This is the handiest and best knife rj
ever manufactured.
The illustration shows exact size of Wjjk
the knife. Besides the large blade,
which is two and three-fourths inches t '
long, this knife has a smaller punch or
blade two and one-eighth inches long, and cuts ;
round hole, any size, in leather, with case. \
Both blades are of finest tempered tool steel,
finely ground and polished. You have paid SI.OO
or $1.50 for a knife not as good as this one.
The EXCELSIOR WONDER KNIFE is built for
practical use, not filled with Nic-Nacs. as is the ? . T.
case with most combination knives. Especial care I
is taken to make the knife sufficiently strong for :
use of Farmers, Stockmen. Teamsters and Sports- I
men. It is no more clumsy or awkward to carry L
in the pocket than an ordinary three-bladed knife.
The Leather Punch will be found indispensable
