GEORGIA IS PREPARING FOR A
DEMONSTRATION OF PROD
UCTS OF THE STATE.
DINNERS TO BE HELD NOV. 18
Georgia Towns and Cities Prepare
Elaborate Menus for Georgia
Products Day.
—Atlanta.
From the Tennessee line to Florida
and from the Savannah river to Ala
bama, Georgia is preparing for such a
demonstration of the availability of
her products for home consumption as
no state has ever ventured upon. The
all-Georgia dinner idea originated by
the Georgia chamber of commerce has
all over the great state, so that
scarcely a county will be omitted and,
in not a few instances, several towns
in the same county will have public
dinners.
President C. H. Haden, in talking of
the prospect, after a whirlwind cam
paign of the state, says he is convinc
ed no less than 200 dinners will be
held November 18, at which not an ar
ticle will be seen that is not Georgia
raised or Georgia manufactured. From
the big affairs like Atlanta’s, which
will see not less than 1,500 diners, and
Macon’s, which is to be not only all-
Georgian, hut Maconian throughout,
to the smallest county in Georgia,
every one is determined to show not
only the rest of the state, but even the
who’'*; country, how resourceful it is
not alone in soil products, but in man
ufactures*——
The dinner idea grew out of a state
ment by the department of agriculture
thatX'ieorgia could suppo’rt 15,000,000
ticlef.ht its dinner; another sends in a
built around it, shutting out every
outside product. But it has been a
revelation to know that some of the
counties are so blessed that it can pro
duce enough by themselves, without
calling upon the rest of the state even.
This is shown in estatements from a
half dozen or more. One county boasts
that it will serve 200 home-grown ar-
I tides a tits dinenr; another sends in a
\ list of 141 products, while a hundred
jfc common. As Acting Secretary-
C. D. McKinney of the state
JdtAnber says: “Georgia is greater
Than even the best boosters imagined.”
Peanuts Said to Be in Trust.
Washington. —Investigation of an al
leged trust among peanut buyers who
operate principally in Smithfield and
Norfolk, Va„ was begun by the depart
ment of justice. According to repre
sentations made to Attorney General
Me Reynolds by prominent residents of
North Carolina, the peanut buyers
down the price nearly 30
per cent, in a short time. It is also
asserted that the alleged combination
made over 200 per cent, profit last
year.
Dixie Daughter* in Convention.
New Orleans. —A recounting of the

of the Confederacy by President Gen
eral Mrs. Alexander B. White featur

Washington.—Developments in the
Mexican situation here tended to em
phasize a purpose on the part of the
Washington government to refuse to
recognize any of the acts of the new
Mexican congress and brought to light
the fact that serious consideration was
being given by President Wilson to
the question of permitting exportations
of arms to all factions in the southern
republic.

faires of the Mexican embassy, during
w'hich, it is understood, he said the
United States considered the election
of congressmen equally as invalid as
the voting for president and vice pres
ident.
The secretary summoned the minis
ters from five Central American coun
tries and outlined to them in general
what had been done by the United
States in its diplomatic parleys with
the Huerta government. Later he an
nounced that he also had been in com
munication with the diplomatic repre
sentatives of the European powers and
had informed them in general terms
of the steps taken by the United
States thus far.
The state department made public
Huerta’s statement to the diplomatic
corps in Mexico £ity, the burden of
which was that the presidential elec
tion would be installed; that thte na
tional legislature would soon resume
the legislative powers which General
Huerta bad seen fit to assume during
the interim between the arrest of the
deputies for sedition and the induction
of the new members of congress.
MILL RESUMES OPERATION.
Financial Troubles Stiaightcned
Out by Local Capitalists
and Men Go tc Work.
It is gratifying to announce
that an agreement has been reach
ed by which Ihe Winder Cotton
Mill, which has been shut down
for the past two weeks, is aboih
to resuin** operations. Tile mill,
since its organizat’on, has been
handicapped by financial troubles
and the high priee of cotton this
fall has no doubt contributed
largely to its recent troubles.
It is announced that a few pri
vate citizens have famished tem
porary assistance, a committee of
whom have been delegated to the
mill’s management, and it, is to
he hoped that a permanent re-or
ganization may be consummated
that will put the mlil’s operation
on a paying basis.
The publ <* has seemingly n* v
cr before realized what an im
portant factor this mill is to tin
life and progress of our city
These loyal and patriotic citizens
who have taken hold of this prop
os : tion , deserve, and have, the
commendation of all, and we ven
tore the prediction that their ad
ministration of the mill’s af
fairs will pro.ve so successful,
that they will be called to take
permanent charge of it.

STORM DEALS DEATH
MANY LIVES CLAIMED BY GALE
AND STORM THAT SWEPT
OVER GREAT LAKES.
PROPERTY DAMAGE MILLIONS
On Land Cleveland Was the Hardest
Hit—Five Persons Killed in Ohio
City—Loss $2,000,000.
Chicago.—The shores of Lake Supe
rior. Huron and Erie are strewn with
wreckage of a three days’ gale and
storm, which cost the lives of prob
ably three score persons, turned bot
tom up in midlake a 300-foot vessel
with its crew, wrecked or grounded nu
merous other craft and caused a prop
erly less as yet unestimated, but that
will run Into the millions.
Details of the storm, which literally
swept from the western end of Lake
Superior to the eastern shore of Lake
Erie, became known only when sur
vivors began arriving in various ports
w ith’'tales of hardships and heroic res
cues seldom equaled on the lakes.
On land the storm hit hardest at
Cleveland, Ohio, where 24 Inches of
snow fell, five persons were killed and
ten othersl ost, and where $2,000,000
damage was caused to 'property,
chiefly telephone and telegraph sys
tems, thus keeping that city out of
direct, communication for two days.
The death tojl of the storm on the
Great Lakes with many ports unre
ported, is as follows:
Twenty-five, perhaps forty, men
drowned in the overturning of a
freighter found floating in Lake Hu
ron.
Five bodies washed ashore at St.
Joseph, on the Canadian side of Lake
Huron (four had belts marked “Wex
ford” and one word a belt marked
“London”).
Three bodies washed ashore on the
west shore of Lake Huron.
Two bodies washed ashore opposite
the positions of the overturned boat.
Six members of a lightship drowned
in Lake Erie near Buffalo, N. Y.
The crew of the Turret Chief, when
the ship struck the rocks in Lake Su
perior, were forced to go ashore but
scantiliy clad. They built a hut to pro
tect them from the blizzard.
DIAIWNOD FOR JESSIE WILSON
Members of Congress Select a Present
for White House Bride.
Washington.—A pendant made up of
one canary diamond weighing 6 1-2
carats surrounded by eigthy-flve small
er diamonds arranged in a pear shape
and attached to a neck chain in which
smaller diamonds are set., will be the
gift of the house of representatives to
Miss Jessie Wilson in the white house
on November 25. The members of the
house contributed more than $2,000
for the gift.
Republican Leader Mann, chairman
of the committee to select the pres
ent, in a statement, explained that the
committee studied many suggestions
and designs, and had the advice and
aid of Miss Genevieve Clark, daugh
ter of the speaker.
“Many beautiful pieces and sets of
silverware were suggested,” said Mr.
Mann, "but the committee finally de
termined to select something with
more of an individual and special char
acter than the conventional tea and
coffee service, with its accompanying
silver pieces—something which the
lady will learn to love more and more
with time —an ornament for personal
use which will give constant pleasure
to the owner—a thing of rare and
singular beauty, neither ostentatious
nor glaringly ornate.
“As the love and respect <?f the
whole American people will go with
Miss Wilson through her entire life,
this unique reminder of that love will
always he with her undimmed and un
tarnished by the lapse of years.” ,
' Rev. Williaju Dunbar, will
preach his last sermon for this
conference year at the,Methodist
church ueXt Sunday, and on Wed
a -sday; following w 11 leave for
Giber on to attend the North
Georgia Conference. There is no
finer character than Mr. Dunbar
In tile Methodist pulpit, ami we
sincerely hope that lie will he
returned to Winder. Chock full
,Uf religion and love for hs fel
low man, he is a blessing and a
help to any community.
