HOU^ OF INTERNATIONAL
DIFFICULTIES .
Birmigham, Ala., May 16.—There
will be a reunion ol the old Confed
erate soldier* as long as there is a
handful to reunite, according to the
sentiment expressed at the opening
session of the twenty-sixth annual re

and response were well launched

commander of the Alabama division
«4 veferans presented resolutions
pledging the old soldiers of the south
to the government of the United

ing vote amid scenes of great enthu
siasm and a copy will be telegraphed
- to 1 President Wilscn.
The resolutions were:
We, the United Confederate Vet
erans, in reunion assembled at Bir
mingham, do hereby again renew-^md
. declare our unfaltering allegiance to

in this, its hour of great internation
al. difficulties.
“«We took up arms against the gov
ernment, not as rebels, but to pro
tect our homes and firesides, to pre
serve and maintain tho principles of
states rights and although the arbi-
- trament of arms was against us, we
le st Neither our courage, our manhood
. nor our patriotism.
“Today the remnant of the armies
of the Confederate States of America,
dees hereby offer herself, its sons and
its property upon the altar of a re
united country which we love and
seek to serve, protect and defend.
“We recommend that every male
‘ ‘citizen over 16 years of age residing
! in the United States and its terri-
I tories be required to immediately re-
I port to the probate judge of his coun-
I ty or other officer under penalty of the
I law and there swear allegiance to this
I government against any and all foes,
I whether internal or foreign, that may
I attempt to hinder impede, or destroy
I the rights, property or liberty of its
1 people.”

Washington, D. C.—Notwithstand
ing the fact that prohibition laws
have become effective in seven states
since July 1, 1916, approximately 7,-
600,000 gallon more whiskey has been
produced in the United States so far
during this fiscal year, ending June
30, than ever before. Daring the
same period the use of beer has fall-
in more than 1,500,000 barrels, or
45,000,000 gallons, from last year’s
figures. The total use of beer for the
year ending June 30th, it is estimated,
will be about 60,000,000 less than it
was in the last fiscal year.
An extraordinary increase in the
amount of cigars, cigarettes and to
bacco is reported for*,the current
year. The tax collected during the
r.’ne months ending March 31 shows
on increase of approximately 55,-
000,000 on tobacco, which includes
cigars and cigarettes, over the last
fiscal year.

leaving Washington this afternoon
for Atlanta, declined to say whether
or not he will enter the race for gov
ernor.
While hero he held extensive con-
lerenccs with both Senators Hoke
Smith and T. W. Hardwick. The re
sult of the interviews was apparently
satisfactory, for Mr. Blalock seemed
in perfect good humor on departing.
“Do you expect to enter the gu
bernatorial race?” he was asked.
“I have no announcement to make
at this time.” was the reply.
Answering other questions, Mr.
Blalock indicated that he had not
definitely and finally made up his
mind as to his political future. If
there are only two other candidates
in the race he may enter.
Mr. Blalock insisted his visit here
was not to consult with the two sen
ators in regard to the situation, but
to confer with Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Oshprn on revenue

IMMIGRATION BILL IS
CHANGED TO SUIT JAPS
Washington, May.—To meet Ja
pan’s objection to having the socalled
gentlemen’s agreement for the re
striction of immigration enacted into
law in the pending immigration bill,
the senate immigration committee to
day agreed upon an amendment which
: amoved the Japanese entirely from
the bill, but accomplished Asiatic ex
clusion otherwise by a specification
of latitude and longitude, which will
take in China. Siberia, India and the
islands of theMalay archipelago, with
the exception of the Philippines. It
leaves immigration from Japan to be
governed entirely by the I}oot-Takn
hira agreement. The change is under
stood to be satisfactory to the state de
pnrtment and Japan.

enactment into law of an agreement 1
which Japan had engaged upon honor
to fulfill was repugnant to the Japa
nese government, ns was the clasifi-
ention of Japanese with Hindus and
pthers to bo excluded.

AUTO STOLEN FROM
COL. L. L. WOODWARD
~ e
THIEVES ALSO TOOK SEVERAL
THINGS ROMOTHERCARS.NO
TRACE OF CAR FOUND.
Sometime during the dark hours
of the' night on Thursday of last week,
two thieves swooped down on the
town, quietly and deliberately gath
ering together everything in the way
of traveling accessories that were not
nailed down and proceeded to make
immediate use of same to put dis
tance behind them. Their booty con
sisted of one Ford touring car the
property of L. L. Woodward, one
prestolite tank from the car of Ed
Trippe, a hand bag that belonged to
Mr. Pierce Postcll left in his auto
mobile and an auto mirror from the
car of Miss Nell McCall. The two
men who are suspected of doing the
stealing were seen in town during
the afternoon in an old Hupmobile
runabout painted blue. They drove
around town a good deal during the
afternoon and were seen by several
at the Greek-Amcrican Restaurant in
the early evening. Sometime near th«
midnight hour they were seen by
some of the town boys near the cat
which they had pushed down the
hill near Mr. O. W. Horne’s home. ,
They were questioned by the boys
about the car but feigned ignorance
of its ownership or any knowledge ot
why it was there. They evidently
made a quick get away with it aftet
the boya passed on. Che loss of the
car was discovered the next morning
but Mr. Woodward was out of town
so did not make any attempt to fol
low up the thieves until they had had
ample time to get to safety. Person!
in Fitzgerald and other places claim
ed to have seen men answering the de
scription given of these blit; no'actual
due to the whereabouts of the car hat
beed had. It is supposed that the two
men are a part of a gang confederated
tor the purpose of stealing cars.
ATLANTA ROAD HOUSES ARE
BECOMING VERY POPULAR
Atlanta, Ga., May.—Atlanta and
Georgia automobiiists are going in
for road houses on a scale that bids
fair to make these establishments far
more profitable than the downtown
cafes aqd soda fountains. And the
remarkable fact is that intoxicating
beverages are not the thing that
draws them to the road house resorts
—but old-fashioned fried chicken
done up brown and tender in country
style, with plenty of rice and cream
graVy on the side, and hot biscuits
streaming with yellow country butter.
“We lead in fried chicken, country
ham and eggs," is the claim of a road
house out from Atlanta. “Our cook
has been in tho business 21 years.
She is a real Southern darkey and no
body can beat her."
After the hpt chicken suppers, the
automobile parties indulge themselves
in dancing to the music of phono
graphs on the road house verandahs

SOLICITOR DORSEY WILL NOT
MAKE VERY STRONG RACE
Atlanta, Ga., May.—The general
opinion in political circles around the
hotel lobbies and at the capitoi is tbBt
Solicitor Hugh Dorsey of Fulton
county, the prosecutor of Leo Frank
has not developed the strength as
a candidate for governor that was ex -
pccted of him by his friends.
Reports of sentiment over the stats
as brought into Atlanta by politicians
and others generally talked in the
hotel lobbies are to the effect that So
licitor Dorsey’s announcement svok
ed no outpouring of enthusiasm and
that his candidacy is talked of only by
an occasional admirer here and there.
So many newspapers have como out
in opposition to Solicitor Dorsey be
cause of his connections with the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, as one
of the attorney’s engaged in the road’s
attempt to overthrow the Georgia
legislature's anti-paralleling act, that
many political observers here *and
over the state have expressed the be
lief that the Louisville & Nashville’s
unsavory political' reputation will
greatly handicap Solicitor Dorsey in
ills race. The Frank case, too, haa de
cided advantages as a stepping stone
to political preferment Some of the
leading newspapers have been quite
revere in their criticism of Mr. Dor
sey and the majority of them have
not received his candidacy in a friend
ly spirit.
Governor Harris plans to make a
vigorous campaign throughout the
state, making enforcement of the pro
hibition law* and opposition to the
sale of the Western & Atlantic rail
road his principal issues. Letters
from all parts of the state continue
to come in, assuring the governor thnt
he will have srtong support. “The
Old War Horse of the Confederacy"
is attending to the state’* business and
expect* to carry it along for another
term of office, if one may-judge of
the situation at the present time.
Dr. L. G. Hradman, of Commerce,
lias taken an early start and is de-
loting practically his whole time to
