The Belgian troops, who are still defending the small strip of their country, which the Germans do not hold, are once again bearing the brunt of the fighting in the West. Unofficial Amsterdam reports say the Germans are again attacking the forces stationed along the Yser river. The Belgians and Germans have been fighting fiercely for the past two days, and the possession of even minor trenches is decided only with the bayonet. It Is said the Ger mans have been repulsed.

The possibility of forming sociation for the pur)>ose of grading pecans was discussed at a recent meeting of growers, held in the city of Albany. The purpose of the meeting is explained in an article In The Herald, which will also prove interesting to those whose money has been invested in pecans in this immediate district. The Herald said: The meeting of pecan growers, called by Mr. W. P. Bullard, presi dent of the Albany District Pecan Exchange, for the purpose of per fecting of an organization lookin; to the scientific grading and mar keting of pectins, and held in th« Chamber of Commerce quarters yesterday afternoon, was .» marked success.

A., Feb. 4. rlt was officially announced today thht the Rebel leader Bezuidenho it. with the so-called prophet Vankens- burg, have surrendered to British officers, with Lieutenant Colonel Kemp. The command, which gave up arms also included forty-eight officers and five hundred Burghers. The Rebels capitulated at ITpIng- tong. Vankoncburg’s influence Is considered largely responsible for the revolt. It was announced that additional surrenders are expected tonight, while Lieutenant Colonel Maritz, with his men, will probably surrender before the end of the present week. Kemp and Maritz have been oper ating together, with twelve hundred men. Into details, describing the workings of the California English Walnut Growers’ Association, and told ho v that crop is graded and marketed He suggested that such a pla’.» was imperative in the handling ot pecans if uniformity of grades ann Prices were to be maintained. As pecans are now handled, there Is no standard of grading used. It was shown that an agreement was need ed so that the same system of grad ing would be used wherever pecans are grown. When a cotton man speakt of good middling cotton, it is understood in all sections of the country where that crop is srown. but with the growing of pecans this is not the case, there bein'* no es tablished grades used. This causes many misunderstandings. Mr. H. C. White, of Putney, show ed several boxes of nuts that had been graded according to govern ment standards. When several of the nuts from each box were placed together, It seemed that they were all of the same size and grade, but when put to the test there were several distinct grades. The fail ure of many growers of nuts to grade their crop in this manner was held to be working a hardship and causing injury to the Industry. After Mr. White had «hO"n t .»»• various boxes of and explained their grading. Mr. Bullard appoint ed a committee of seven, which will meet in the office of the Cham ber of Commerce on Friday.

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 4.—Tie Georgia Anti-Saloon League is making plans for an active campaign, to force city locker clubs to observe the law, and probably the next general assembly will see gome effective legislation along this line. Rev. G. W. Elch- elberger, superintendent . of the league, says the object of the or ganization Is not to close the clubs, but to make them abide by the law “The near-beer saloon, which sells real beer, must go, too,” said Mr. Eiclielherger. “And we intend to make a fight to stop express com panics from transporting intoxicants ihto the state." The Anti-Saloon league is watch ing with a great deal of disapproval the course of Senatoi Hardwick, whp has steadily worked against prohibition measures, though never openly declaring his position. Mr. Hardwick show-ed his attitude re cently In voting with the opposition on a motion to suspend the rules so that an amendment might be intro duced prohibiting the sale of liquor in the District of Columbia. Tha* bill, afterward made a rider to the appropriation bill, came up yester day and was favorably reported, though Mr. Hardwick had no voice in this vote. Senator Hardwick is coming in for considerable criticism, also, for his continued holding out against the shipping purchase bill, a dis tinctly administration measure, and his critics are pointing out that his great plea for election was based choosing n man who will be in sympathy with the administration.' •.•wr—rT —.
