The situation, however, has changed from one of high ten- •n to hope that hostilities can be avoided, i 'Consul Rodgers in a brief cablegram dated yesterday stat- ! that he had been handed the Mexican reply and that the nfieal prisoners had bene ordered releasd. He gave no intimation in his cablegram of the contents of rrsnza’s note.

T»)»i Effect July First. All Business For District Hsndlsd Through Him. Coin For Tifton. An agency for the Willis-Overland utomobile Co., covering sixteen counties has been secured oy Mr. A. C. Tift, the contract being signed and to take effect July-first. This means a great deal to the bus iness interests of Tifton, as it means a vast amount of money will pass through the banks here, because the agency will handle not less than three hundred of the cart a year and will make every effort to handle five hundred. Already the creation of this big agency is felt, because Mr. Tift has secured the services of one addition al expert salesman, and will have to employ additional office force as well as mechanics. Mr. Tift will appoint sub-agents in the various counties throughout the territory, but all the business will be handled through this office, and this will mean that numbers of people will visit Tifton to see cars and have demonstrations made. The cars made by the Will's-Over- land people and which will be handled, oy this agency consist of seven dif ferent models, namely: Three styles of 4’s; two of 6’s, and two of 8’s; including cars with two, five and sev en passenger capacity. The agency secured by Mr. Tift covers the following counties: Tift. Turner, Crisp, Worth, Colquitt, Cof fee, Lowndes, Brooks, Clinch. War:, Berrien, Irwin, Ben Hill, Wilcox, Echols and Pierce. In all cf these except Tift sub-agencies will be es tablished, but all cars will come here for assembling and try-out. and it will be necesary for Mr. Tift to use more space than he now occupies as he will have to have a warehouse. Mr. Tift states that he hat been trying to close this deal f >t some time, but that because of the tixe of the territory he wanted he has not until now been able to get the con tract through. He says that he is | certain that five hundred of ’.he cars will pass through the agency annual ly, and is hopeful that by hard work this number can be largely increas ed. Besides the Willis-Overland agency, MrNTift will still handle the Fords and Buicks, having Tift cour&t-fnr the fonnerj-TtfV Juswn*;~Trwin am! half of Worth counties for the lat ter.

At cur And Product in Active Demand. Oi Such Mill in. Gsurgia it Making Money. I have just read ir. the Gazette tin passing of the old saw mill, and pm especial attention to the lest sen tence of the editorial, “One manu facturing plant is gone; we must have another to take its place.” I will say by way of suggestion, that I know of no manufacturing plant needed more to follow a big saw mill than a paper pulp mill. The saw mill has left thousands of acres of wo:dland thick with small pines around Tifton, all of it In wagon- haul! ,g distance of the railroads. The machinery employed in a pulp mill now takes grean yellow pine wood, with bark on.jtp to S inches in dfameter and 5 feet long, or cord wood size. A pulp mill company does not have to own the land. The atock is usually furnished, delivered to the mill by the farmers within twenty miles that happen to have such stock. The cutting, hauling and manufac turing of the little pine timber around Tifton would furnish profitable em ployment to the people fer many years, and would hasten the land into cultivation, necessitating in a few ears grain elevators, the growing of k and the building and operating packing houses. land is too valuable for ag- ■al purposes to wait for the trees to grow into saw mill tim- It will therefore be cut out iikthe next ten years and wasted if the ufcuri course is followed. This small timbei*pet imj paper pulp will yield greater returns than.any oth er way it could be used. The small yellow pine timeber makes a coarse brown paper ,now in strong demand for container ihipping boxes; and with lumbar growing scarce and since shipping boxes can not be made from , such substitute* for lumber as stoel and concrete, the demand for heavy cardboard paper will certainly increase. The people In Tifton did a good thing in getting bonda for street pa ing, school building and fire depar*. ment equipment. All those things ate needed; but if you stop to think, any kind of a fellow can spend money, especially the other fellows. The thing most needed at thi* time, it some men who can come forward and locate industries thut will bring mon ey from the other counties, states and countries; that is what really builds up. I understand that the pulp mill nt Gordon, Ga., is operating vety profit ably, in a section not near so favors ble to such an industry as Tifton. I found a man near Waycmia with 68,000 acres of cut-over pine land that he is beginning to put into cul tivation, I told him of the pulp mill to use the amall plr-e timber, and he went at once to Gordon, Go., to se the one there In operation; and ha, since learned of a firm in New York who will finance a pulp mill in a goo location. I believe it to be the duty of men who are gifted with the making of money to use a good part of it in operating such business as will give profitable employment to the man not so well favored. I hope soon to hear of some move to start a pulp mill or some other manufacturing plant. J. L. W. TIFTON CETS UNION STA TION At a conference this afternoon between the Committee r Council and Vice-President Munson,'of the Geor- , them and Florida, and Vice-President DelAno, of the tic Coast Line, plans were agreed upon for a new union Wenger station at Tifton.

Gains of additional ground by the Italians from the Austrians, by the French from the Germans northeast of Verdun, and by the Germans from the Russians in Volhy- nia are chronicled in the latest communications. In addi tion, it is seated that tjie Austrians are holding back the Russian army, wMgh ji endeavoring to drive past Kuty, Bukowina. with Kotomea as its objective. In the Trentino region, the Italians continue to force ’ back the Austrians along the entire front, having made progress between the Adige Brenth rivers, in the Lagarina and Arsa valleys between the Posnia and Astico rivers and along the Upper But river. Northeast of Verdun, the French have recaptured more ground from the Germans north of Hill 321 and around the Thiaumont work. Northwest of Verdun the Germans bombarded the Avocourt and Chattancourt sec tors, but were prevented from launching an infantry at tack from the east of Hill 304. In Champagne the Germans occupied French positions iear Tahure, but later were driven out. , - • On the British front the expected big offensive by King George’s men apparently has not yet bgun, but they are- carry ing out nt various points successful raids on German positions and bombarding heavily from the region of La Bassee canal to the Bouth of the Somme. In the latter region small British Attacks were put down by the Germans, according to Berlin. Continuing their counter-offensive against the Russians in Volhynla, the Germans have captured the village of Linewka, to the west of Sokul, and also have taken by storm positions to the south of the village. Vienna reports that additional Ruv inn attacks near Kuty in Bukowina have been repulsed by the Austrian forces.

The machine is automa’ic and takes the corn, pops it, seasons it with just the right amount of pure cream ery butter (no other grade of but ter will work in the machine), an! turns the finished product over to the consumer in such a manner that more is wanted. Dr. Brooks says he want, every body to see the machine at work while it is brand now, and adcs that they visit the store right away. He will be glad to tell all about the won derful contraption.
