State Naval Force Disbanded.
Upon the recommendation of Lieu
tenant James S. Wright, the command
ing officer of the torpedo division,
naval battalion, Georgia state militia,
stationed at Brunswick, Governor Can
dler has disbanded the command.
Adjutant General Robertson wrote
to Lieutenant Wright informing him
cf the action of the governor and the
division is no longer an organization.
Lieutenant Wright based his recom
mendation upon the fact that the di
vision was not properly uniformed
and had no vessel of any kind which
could bo used for the instruction of
the men. There was, therefore, no
reason for the continued existence of
the organization.
The government does not provide
uniforms for these state organizations
and the state of Georgia has no money
with which to purchase them.

ing all the aid in their power. In this
party were Dr. Parkhurst, Mr. Rocke

The Cochran case came up in the

Melon Crop Will Be Short.
The watermelon and cantaloupe
crops are now sufficiently advanced to
make possible the formation of an in
telligent estimate of the acreage and
posible yield in the Georgia melon dis
trict, of which Albany is the center
and principal shipping point. There
has been a decided reduction in the
Watermelon acreage. Those who have
the best opportunities for obtaining
information on this line are practical
ly agreed that the area under cultiva
tion is at least 25 per cent less than
it was last year, and by some the re
duction is believed to be even more
extensive.
Federal Prison Inspected,
The new federal prison now build
ing near Atlanta was officially inspect
ed by a distinguished party of govern
ment officials the past M r eek.
The party M-as composed of Major

Rocfca=Bye Baby
These are sweet words, but how much
psm and suffering they used to mean. It’s
different now. Since Mother’s Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much of the anguish of child
birth. Mother’s friend is a liniment to be
applied externally. It is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles of the abdomen. It gives
elastic ty and strength, and w,hen the final
great strain comes tney re pond quickly and
easily without pa;n. Mother's Friend is
never taken internally. Internal remedies
at this time do more harm than good. If a
woman is supplied with this splendid lini
ment she need never fear rising or swelling
breasts, morning sickness, or any of the
discomforts which usually accompany preg
nancy.
The proprietor of a large hotel in Tampa,
Fla., writes: "My wife had an awful time
with her first child. During her second
pregnanev. Mother’s Friend was used and
the baby was born easily before the doctor
arrived. It's certainly great.”

BLIND TiGLRS DO LLOLRISH.
A Merry War Is Expectc.l In Charles
ton When State Constables
Appear on the Scene.
The orders from the state beard cf
dispensary control to close all beer
and liquor dispensaries In Ch • rleston,
S. C.. has not so far interim ed with
the traffic of the tigers. When the
quiet tip was passed down the liquor
line Friday morning that places would
have to close, the 500 blind tigers
made a merry rush to buy. and while
they did not force the price up by the
movement, they got enough liquor to
pull through a period. According to
careful estimates there are 500 tigers
in Charleston.
Temperance and prohibition people
are glorifying over the conditions cx
isting in the city now. They believe
that the dispensaries will be kept
closed until the legislature next year
can amend the law as to the organiza
tion of the board of county commis
sioners, and should this prove the
case the temperance and prohibition
element will make capital by using all
efforts to have the law strictly en
forced. There is so much money in
volved, however, that the state can
hardly afford to lose the revenues
from Charleston, and already efforts
are making toward a satisfactory ad
justment of the troubles. The tangle
is so deep that the supreme court will
have to pass final judgment, but all
difficulty would have been avoided had
not the Charleston county delegation
been negligent of its duty. This dele
gation failed to note the passage of
the new county commisioners’ act,
and while the purpose was to except
j Charleston from its operations this
' delegation did not see the mess until
i it came out in the newspapers a week
or two ago.
When the state constables are sent
to Charleston to help enforce the law.
as is confidently expected, outsiders
look for a hot fight between these offi
cers and the hundreds of blind tigers.
FIGHT AGAINST WOMAN.
Warm Discussion In Presbyterian As
sembly Over Female Delegate.
Saturday morning's session of the
Cumberland Presbyterian general as
sembly at West Point, Miss., M as whol
ly devoted to a discussion of a motion
made by Dr. I. D. Steele, of Birming
ham, Ala., proposing that the young
woman who was enrolled as a ruling
elder commissioner from Litchfield,
Ky., Presbytery be unseated on the
ground that both the constitution and
the action of previous assemblies for
bade a woman to serve as a ruling
elder.
The presbytery from which Miss
Woosley hails several years ago or
dained as a preacher this same young
woman. This was declared unconsti
tutional and her name erased from
the roll. Members kept up the agita
tion ever since and the presence of
Miss Woosley is plainly aimed by the
Presbytery to test another phase of
the question. The debate Saturday
was an able one without bitterness,
and the vote does not settle the ques
tion.
A constitutional amendment cover
ing the case will be sent down to the
Presbyteries and the knowing ones
believe that in the end the church will
declare against the ordination of wo
men to both the ministry and elder
ship.

THOUSANDS ARE OUT
ilany Firms Refuse to Accede to
Demands of the Machinists.
hNE HOUR DAY iS CONTENTION
President of International Union Esti
mates That Fifty Thousand
of the Craft Walked Out
on First Day.
Approximately 50,000 machinists
throughout the country struck Mon
day for a nine-hour day, a scale of
wages equal to the present ten hour
per day scale and other demands.
This is the rough estimate cf Presi
dent O’Connell, of the International
Association of Machinists, based on
the telegraphic advices that reached
him during the day from the machin
ists’ headquarters in the various
cities.
The strike thus far has not extend
ed to the allied trades, save in one or
two instances, as at Scranton. Pa.,
where men in a part, of the allied
trades are out. No machinists en
gaged in government work are affect
ed. This is due to the fact that on
such work an eight-hour day scale al
ready prevails.
Railroad machinists, as a rule, are
not involved in the strike, though the
men on several roads are out. The
| Central Vermont shop machinists at
| St. Albans, numbering probably 20ft,
I have struck. The Lehigh Valley rail
i road machinists at Buffalo, Sayre,
! Wilkesbarre and Elmira are out, ag
| gregating about 500 all told. The
j Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
\ men at Buffalo, Scranton Wilkesbarre
I and intermediate points are out. The
: Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe men
; also.are out. The strike order, how
| ever, does not apply to the railroads
generally.
| The situation Monday afternoon
; was summarized by President O’Con
| nell in the following statement:
“We are demanding a nine-hour day
universally throughout the trade, with
an increase of wages sufficient to over
come the loss of the hour in time;
regulation of the apprenticeship sys
tem and the number that shall be em
ployed in accordance with the num
ber of journeyman machinists employ
ed; agreements as to arbitration of all
disputes that may arise in the future;
the right of the machinists to he rep
resented by a committee, and agree
ments that there shall be absolutely
no discrimination against machinists
because of their membership in the
union.
“Prom the present indications and
the statements issued from headquar
ters at the various points the orders
are being generally obeyed and in
larger numbers than was anticipated.
In certain cases where only a few
hundred were expected to be involved
the indications are that the numbel?
will be increased 50 per cent. The
number of firms signing indicate that
in localities where the agreements are
being made the strike will not last
over a few days. In other localities,
where a larger number of men are be
ing involved, I look fo:wartl to n.u ad
justment being reached within the
present week.”
Following is a statement of the
number of men out at important
points:
Hartford, Conn., 1,000; Ansola and
Derby, Conn., 500; Hamilton, 0., 1,-
000; Buffalo, 1,200; Scranton, 2.500;
Cincinnati, completely tied up and 3,-
000 men out; Connorsville, Ind., 200;
Palestine, Tex., 200; York, Pa., 300;
East Orange, N. J., 300; Oswego, N.
Y„ 300; Norfolk, Va.. all shops out,
500 men.
Telegraphic reports to Mr. O’Con
nell show the following as the num
ber of firms which signed the agree
ment Monday:
Kenosha, Wis., all; Milwaukee, five;
Wilmington, Del., 2; Toledo, 1; Au
burn, N. Y., all; Anaconda, all; Den
ver, all; St. Louis, all; New Orleans,
all; Danbury, Conn., all; Pittsburg,
Pa„ 90 per cent; Franklin, Pa„ all;
YoungstoM’n, 0., all; Cleveland, 15;
Rochester. N. Y., 90 per cent; Buffalo,
50 per cent; Niagara Palis, ali; Tona
wanda, all; Trenton, N. J„ 75 per
cent; Baltimore, 11; Philadelphia, 25;
New Haven, 8.
DAYTON PLANTS CLOSED.
Machinists’ Demands Not Complied
With and Strike Follows.
Not one concern in Dayton, Ohio,
has acceded to the machinists’ de
mands. Several plants agreed to the
hours and Mage scale, but reserved
the right to employ and discharge.
When this was declined by employers
the plants closed.
There are now idle the National
Cash Register, W. P. Callahan, Buck
eye Brass Works, Stillweh-Bierce
Company and many smaller plants.
Thirty-five hundred men are out of
work. The carpenters' strike is prac
tically complete.
