HE HAS SCHEME '
TO SETTLE TROUBLE
IN RLO MEXICO
Washington, Dec. 22. —Appearing at
the capitol here with schemes which
he claimed would solve the Mexican
situation, a man giving the name of
Thomas Welsh, of Paterson, N. J., was
arrested and held, pending an investi
gation as to his sanity.
One of Welsh’s plans was to send an
American battleship to Mexico disguis
ed as If) coming from Spain, entice
aboard the leaders of both sides, then
sail off with them, thus breaking the
backbone of all revolutions by creating
a lack of leaders. Another proposal
was that the government send into
Mexico a number of Spanish-speaking
soldiers who would take false guns
and paper ammunition and exchange it
for their real armaments.
Big Pecan Shipments
Made From Thomas
Carload Lots of Nuts Will Be Rpgu
uarly Shipped Over Country.
Thomasville, Ga., Dec.- 22.—Ther?
have been more pecan nuts shipped
out of Thomasville to other markets
this year than ever before and it seems
probable now that in a few years the
shipment of nuts by car load - lots will
be one of the standard businesses of
this section. The nuts sent from here
went to the north and middle west,
where they found ready sale. These
nuts were of the large paper shall va
riety, and retailed In the cities where
sold at from 50 oents to $1 a pound.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
SOCIETY BELLS WORK
FDRjjWEET CHARITY
Atlanta, Dec. 22.—This will be the
most truly charitable Christmas At
lanta has ever known. Particularly is
this true among the society girls and
debutantes who have given their time
and energy- for a week past toward va
rious efforts to help in the streets sell
ing Red Cross Seals; others have par
ticipated in the various benefits for
the Empty Stocking fund; others have
worked hard for the success of the
teas and lunch-rooms and other bene
fits, all to the same end, that some sort
of a Christmas be provided for the
unfortunates who are not able to pro
vide their own.
This year the society girls of Atlan
ta as a whole, have devoted twice as
much time and effort as ever before in
true Christmas work. They have been
conspicuous in it and when Christmas
actually arrives there will be many of
them who are as tired as any shop
girl—tired but happy in the work they
have done.
Court Scores Jury
for Verdict in Murder Case
Cincinnati, 0., Dec. 22.—A jury’s
Verdict which acquitted George Mun,
day a prominent attorney, on a charge
of murdering his wife, today was crit
icised by Judge Cushing as a gross

fir.se set up a plea of emotional in
sanity, nhich was upheld by the Ju
rors, md to which Judge Cushing was
unable to agree.

GOVERNOR WILL IT
ISSUE PARDONS JUST
BECAUSEjTS XMAS
Atlanta, Dec. 22.—There will be no
Christmas gifts in the shape of execu
tive pardons in Georgia this year.
Governor John M. Slaton is dead set
against the custom of pardoning con
victs simply because it happens to be
Christmas time, and applicants for ex
ecutive interference with the law have
to bring forward some more forcible
argument that that it would be a
pleasant thing for the prisoner to be
able to spend Christmas with his wif
and children.
Not that Governor Slaton is hard
hearted. He is the exact opposite, but
he believes in tempering mercy with
justice. He has granted during his j
administration a number of pardons |
which prove beyond question that he
has a kind heart as well as a judicial
head, but he sees no reason why the
bars should he let down at Christmas
time more than at any other season of
the eyar.
One or two pardons and commuta
tions have been granted during this
latter part of December, but every
case has been simply on its merits,
and would have resulted the same if it
had not been the Christmas season.
FORREST AOAIR AGAIN
READS ATLANTA SHRINERS
Atlanta, Dec. 22. —The man who was
chiefly responsible for bringing the
National Shriners thirty thousand
strong to Atlanta this coming spring,
will still be head of the local Shrin
ers’ temple when they come. Forrest
Adair has again been chosen, for the
thirteenth time, as potentate of Yaa
rab Temple. Again and again during
the past thirteen years he has en
deavored to resign, but his friends
have insisted that he remain at the
head of the organization.
The thirteenth year, instead of be
ing an unlucky number with him, will
witness the greatest Shriners’ gather
ing ever held, in the south. In fact, it
will be the biggest convention of any
kind, and the largest crowd that At
lanta, the “convention city,” has eve,
had to entertain.
W. F. Ward to Talk On
Pig Raising in South
Athens, Ga., Dec. 22.—-W. F. Ward,
senior annual husbandman, of the bu
reau of the Unted States, than whom
there is no greater authority on pork
production in the south, has been ob
tained for an address at the annual
meeting of thie Georgia Dairy and Live
Stock association to he held at the
State College of Agriculture January
19-20. In view of the interest now be
ing aroused by the organization of
j pig clubs and the general interest 'a
( dress is expected to be one of the fea
tures of the program.
When a man is feather-brained the
slightest puff will send him right up in
the air.
