Flanigan & Flanigan Pianos, Organs, Buggies. VOL. XX.—lB Pages RESOURCES OF SIATEBOOSTED 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.

BAN PUT ON HUERTA WASHINGTON EMPHASIZES ITS PURPOSE NOT TO RECOGNIZE MEXICAN CONGRESS. THE POWERS ARE INFORMED Diplomats in Washington Cable Their Governments That Complete Break Is Near. 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. ence with Senor Algara, charge d’af encew ith Senor Algara, charge d’af 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. -—— v J hr :jL Death Near Statham. .

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.
