General Charles Roques.
General Charles Roques is the new
war minister of France. He has
taken the place of General Gallieni,
who has just given up the office.
General Charles Roques was chiefly
known before the war as the father
of French military aviation. For
several years he was inspector gen
eral of the aviation service, and is
considered to have done more to give
France an efficient aviation service
than any other man in France. It
is noteworthy that the French avia
tion service has been the subject of
sharp criticism within the past few
months and that Rene Besnard,
deputy minister of war for aviation,
was driven to resign not long ago.
General Roques is a Breton by de
scent.

MOULTRIE Will BUILD A
525,000 CREAMERY
A news dispatch says the Moultrie
Co-Operative Creamery association,
with a capital stock of $25,000, has
filed a petition for a charter and hopes
to have a creamery in operation Lu
that town by May 5. W T ork on the
1 uilding for the plant begins at once
and the contract calls for its comple
tion in thirty days. Most of the re
frigerating machinery has already been
ordered. The creamery, as its name
implies, will be operated on the co-op
crative plan, and it will begin work
with more than a thousand cows to
furnish cream.
It is expected to prove one of the
Jity’s most important small enter
prises. Officers of the company assert
that it will pay out about $5,000 a
month for cream and that its benefits
to the community will not stop there.
It is said that the large amount of
skimmed milk that will be produced
. ill prove a valuable factor in the
raising of hogs, and that the creamery
will also encourage the shipping to
this county of a large number of cat
lie.
ENDS RAVAGES DE
CHICKEN HAWKS
It might be of interest to those who
raise spring chickens, and who are
worried by the ravages of hawks, that
nux vomica fed to chickens will not
kill the chicken, but will put an end
to the hawk and his work of destruc
tion.
This method of extermination may be
cheaply applied, and a recent experi
ment proved its merit. Mr. Joseph
I . Edge, a prominent planter and fowl
fancier living five miles from Ameri
cus, had long been the victim of hawk
raids, and he immediately began to
look for some means of destroying the
pests. It was not feasible to use the
old metohd of the shot-gun and the
only thing left was the use of nux
vomica. It is well known that this
poison will not kill chickens, but if
given to chickens in their feed the pois
onous properties extend all through
the body without any ill effects to the
fowl. Mr. Edge mixed a quantity of
this medicine in his chicken feed, and
as a result three big hawks were kill
ed.
It is believed that this new method
will greatly aid the chicken men of
the county in their fight to protect
their fowls from the destructive hawks.

RAILROADS STILL HOPING
FOR MORE MONEY
Leading railroad officials of the coun
try have not lost hope entirely that
congress will at last do something for
them in the way of increased pay for
hauling the mails.
The entire subject of re-adjustment
cf compensation of the roads for car
rying the mails is now in the hands of
congress and the railroad men express
the earnest hope that until some ade
quate steps are taken by the legisla
tive branch of the government to in
sure that hereafter the payments shall
be upon a fair basis for service ren
dered, the executive departments cf
the government will at least refrain
from imposing additional burdens on
the railroads.
The railroad men are counting
much on the expression of Mr. Wilson
in his letter to Secretary McAdoo on
the opening of the federal reserve
banks, when he said: "No doubt in
the light of the new day, with its new
understandings, the problems of the
railroads will be met and dealt with
in a spirit of candor and justice.”
Notice.
I hereby warn the public not to em
ploy the following laborers, Thornton
Moss. Tullis Jackson, and Jessie
Jenkins, colored. These laborers be
ing under contract with me for period
of seven months.

WOULD LIMIT PRESIDENT
TERM TO SIX YEARS
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3.—Rep
rsenetative Warren Worth Bailey, of
Pennsylvania, a close friend of Wil
liam Jennigs Bryanwho served with
him as a member of the committee of
the- Baltimore convention which draft
ea the one-term plank, revived that is
sue by introducing in the house today
a resolution providing for a single six
year presidential term.
Bailey, in a statement concerning the
resolution, asserts that it was not in
tended by the resolutions committee to
bind the president to the single-terra
plank; that Bryan took that point of
view when the subject was under con
sideration. As a matter of fact, from
the Pennsylvanian’s account, it was
: Bryan who most objected to the propo
sal then under consideration by the
Committee. Speaker Clark, he said,

matter was discussed. Wilson was be-
