SHOUTS IN STREETS OF JUAREZ
AND ANXIOUS CROWDS AWAIT
■ NEWS OF CAPTURE OF THE
PRINCIPAL CITY OF NORTH-
ERN MEXICO TODAY.
Juarez, March 28.—Constitution
alist officers and sympathizers here
today haunted the telegraph odlces.
They were jubilant at the prospect of
any news from the front. Many de
clared the belief that Gen. Villa had
captured Torreon after a night bat
tle. Word of his victory in the most
decisive battle of the war, it is be
lieved would come through sometime
during the day.
The latest newspaper reports, in
dicated that Villa had carried nls as
sault into the very heart of Torreon,
and that the Federal were hard
pressed.
Military officials here agree that
the battle of Torreoh has been the
most desperate of this or any other
revolutionary movement in Mexico.
Gen. Villa went into this fight
frith twelve thousand men, all of
whom were well-seasoned and equip
ped for a smashing assault. Dus
patches so far received indicate that
the Federals resisted fiercely, and
the loss In dead and wouned
both sides has been enormous.
Gen. Villa has become the hero of
both the Maderlst and Constitution
alists, and he is now looked upon
as the greatest military genius In
the Southern Republic.
"Vivias" for the Rebel Leader at
Torreon were mingled with “Vivas”
for Gent Carranza, the Constitution
alist Chieftain, when great throngs
gathered in the streets here today to
welcome the latter to this city, after
his long overland march from No
gales. No one could tell whether
“Viva. Villa,’ or “Viva Carranza,"
was shouted with greater fervor.

Tennessee Representative Will In
troduce a Bill to Make t(ie Recall
of Inferior Court Officials Easier.
Washington, March 30.—Repre
sentative Hull, of Tennessee, said
today that he had made plans to
vigorously push his proposed amend
ment to the Constitution, providing
for a more simple and expeditious
method of removing judges of In
ferior courts, who are unfit for ser
vice.
This amendment Is now before the
members of the Judiciary Commit
tee for consideration. It would em
power Congress to abolish any In
ferior court and any inferior judge
by a resolution concurred in by two-
thirds of both houses. Such judge
would have notice and be given an
opportunity to be heard, either In
person or through his counsel.

Last week we reported that Coun

a few miles northeast of Camilla.
The state veterinarian was notified
and he suggested that Dr. Schwencke

sioners acted upon this suggestion
and the Thomasville veterinarian
came up Saturday morning and went
out to the farm of Mr. Williams.
After a careful Investigation he pro
nounced the animal affected with a

there were none of the symptoms of

Two or three horses affected like,
the one examined had died and the
veterinarian expressed It as his opin
ion that death was due to strangu

than from the effects of the disease,
which he said was very similar to
that of a man who has bronchitis.
He suggested that If medicine was

The sick animal was treated as

The statement that a case of glan

hension among farmers and stock
owners. It is always fatal and so
contagious that drastic measures
have to be adopted to prevent It

The music for the afternoon was
composed of Irish ballads, among
which was “Katharine Mavourneen,”
sweetly sung by Mrs. Stuart Rogers.
This was followed by an original
paper by Mrs. Dr. Vann, entitled
Ireland’s Landmarks.” This paper,
which is given in full below, was
received with enthusiasm, Although
of the fifty wotiien present, scarcely
one could boast of a drop of Irish
bleed In her veins. Does not this
go to show that club women In
general are very broad In their sym
pathies?
The Irish Medley, played by Miss
Fambro, was extremely comprehen
sive, bringing in, besides the na
tional airs, many old familiar songs.
At the close of the regular pro
gram, refreshments were served by
prettily gowned Misses, the favors
being a well designed shamrock.
The ices, cakes, etc., were in green
and white', the club colors, as well as
the National colors of Ireland.
Mrs. Mathis made an ideal hos
tess, and the Club spent one o! the
most pleasant afternoons of the sea
son with her on that occasion.
Mrs. Vann’s paper follows:
LANDMARKS OF IRELAND.
The Emereld Isle—home of St.
Patrick and dear to the heart of ev
ery Irishman; Ireland, the abiding
place of the Saints; Ireland, op
pressed by the English; Ireland, the
land of the bravest men and the
best women; Ireland, the most beau
tiful country on God’s foot-stool. So
speaks the patriotic son of Erin, |
otherwise known as plain “Pat.”
i “There are probably ten thousand
Georgians as well qualified to fill the
office as Mr. Speer. I know that I
am, and earnestly desire that distin
guished honor. Do you not think
that Mr. Speer should be satisfied
with twenty-four years’ office hold
ing?”
Lem M. Park is a younger brother
of Captain Robert E. Park, former
distinguished state treasurer. He
has never before been a candidate
for any office.
In studying the
history of this unfortunate country;
we cannot but think perchance it is
the chastisement of God, whereby
this Island hhs been suffered to
struggle continually. Perhaps a
thousand years hence, there will still
be an “Irish question.”
The modern tourist forgets all
these haunting* political questions

world.
My paper today is limited to a
brief description of only two of
Erin’s famous landmarks.
Blarney Castle, built by one Cor-
mack McCarthy in 1446, aUa now
forming a picturesque ivy-clad ruin.
The fame of the castle is due to Its
possession of a wonder-working
stone; a block (bearing the name of
the founder and the date. This
stone is built into the South angle
of the keep, twenty feet below the
top. The great original <toile is at
the Southern side of the Southern
side of the massive donjon, about
one hundred and twenty feet high.
Some one writes: “There is a stone
there, that whoever kisses it, he
never misses to grow eloquent.” It
is no easy task to kiss the Blarney
Stone; the caressing performance
requiring that one shall be lowered
Inside the parapet by the heels. Un
til some years ago. the only proper
way was to be lowered over the para
pet on the outside, head down
ward, until the lips could touch the
stone, but in 1890 a traveller was let
fall from the lofty height and was
killed, so the Lord of the Estate for
bad all further endeavors to reach
the stone from the outside.
Everybody knows that “kissing
the Blarney stone” is synonomous
with a fluent and flattering tongue,
regardless or sincerity.
Blarney Castle la situated In the
South of Ireland, near the City of
Cork, and is surrounded Y/f a beau
tiful groves of trees, the ^Groves of
Blarney’ being almost as famous as
It’s castle.
The Kitlarney Lake regVn is gen
erally suposed to contain the most
beautiful scenery In the world.
Stoddard, in his lectures, says, “As
the traveler sees the pure, blue at
mospheric veil that softens the hori
zon, blending earth ana sky; or
views the mountains mantled with
the heathers' royal purple; or notes
the laughing river at his feet; or
follows with his vision, miles of
hedges, radiant with blossoms; or
traces the entire landscape’s undu
lating background, lined with glossy
ivy, golden gorse or glistening lau
rel; he will not for a moment douot
that he is in the fairest of the three
united kingdoms.”
The "Vale of Avoca.” which has
been made famous by Moore’s poem,
“The Meeting of the Waters,” forms
* part of this beautiful lake scen-
had a good-sized cat fish
stomach.
Master Warren Mays has return
ed after spending a short time In
Albany with Mr. and Mrs. G. C.
Mays.
Avoca, the meeting of the waters Is
formed by the confluence of two
rivers, the Avonbey and the Avon-
more, in a pleasant valley, guarded
by rugged Mils, and if one were di
vorced from society and wedded to
nature, a most happy and peaceful
life ml?ht be spent there.
“There is not In this world a valley
so sweet ,
As the vale In whoso bosom the
bright waters meet:
O, the last rays of feeling and life
must depart,
Eere the Hoorn of that valley shall
facie from my heart.”
A CONFESSION
trill Help Other Women.
Hines. Ala.—“1 must confess”, says
Mrs. Eida Mae Reid, of this place, “that
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done me
a great deal of good.
Before I commenced using Cardui. I
would spit up everything 1 ate. I had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. I could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, 1 have entirely
quit spitting up what I eat Everything
seems to digest all right, and i have
gained 10 pounds in weight”
If you are a victim of any ot the numer
ous Ills so common to your sex, U Is
wrong to suffer.
For half a century, Cardui has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour Into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is com
posed oi ingredients which actspecifically
on the womanly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organa back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, tnd will help
you, too. Oet a bottle today. You
