HOME LIFE OF A CONGRESSMAN Hon. Dudley M. Hughes as Seen by a Friend who Knows Him. (From The Macon Telegraph.) To the Editor of the Telegraph: A few days ago I paid a visit to see my distinguished friend, Dud ley M. Hughes. I found him surrounded by his happy family at his home near Danville, with palatial oaks, magnolias, shrub bery and beautiful flowers in the yard that makes his home very cheerful indeed. One always feels refreshed and uplifted after a visit to his home. Mrs. Hughes, the queen of his home, and very gracious in manner and disposi tion, full of hope to cheer one along life’s pathway. Miss Hennie Lou, the only daughter, is also gracious indeed, and one feels happy in conversation with her. She is cheerful, lovely, and a beautiful character. Denard and Dan, the two sons of this family, are both endowed with the happy faculty of their father—business like in their way and friends to every soul. Denard is president of the Bank of Danville, also a farmer. At the bank he lets out money to the farmers to make their crops and is very popular with them. Dan G. is also by nature a farmer and is assistant to Hon. J. D. Price, commissioner of agriculture. He is a splendid man and will some day reach the top of the ladder. Miss Mary Dudley Fort and her brother, Hon. Thomas L. Fort, are also members of Mr. Hughes’ family. Miss Mary Dudley Fort is a beau tiful girl, quick and spry. To know her is to love her at once. Hon. James L. Fort is secretary to Mr. Hughes, and a very ele gant gentleman. Mr. Hughes was very fortunate in getting him for his secretary. Mr. Fort and his sister are children of the lamented and distinguished Allen Fort, of Americus. But back to the main subject of this article is indeed Mr. Hughes. I have known him for forty years and lived neighbor to him for thirty years. In all these years I have found him the same kind and good man, always ready to do one a favor and oblige one if in his power. He has been as kind to me as a brother and I love him sincerely. The people along the M. D. and S. railroad owe Dudley Hughes a gratitude that they never can repay. He virtual ly got the M. D. and S. railroad built by his efforts and his money, which he spent to get it built. I know of over seventy-five thous and dollars that he spent in this railroad and has never received one dollar of it back. This was all done for the people and to get the road. Mr. Hughes has held many distinguished positions in Geor gia. He is at. present a member of Congress and I trust he may be returned. To recall him would be a calamity and almost a sin. He is very popular in his district. In his last race he carried every county in his district but one, carrying his opponent’s own county. He is very active in Congress and is at present chair man of the committe on educa tion, a very important position. Mr. Champ Clark said in his speech in Macon that Dudley M. Hughes jvas one of the best men in Congress and that he was yery vigilant on his committee. This is indeed complimentary, lam not in Mr. Hughes’ district. I wish I was and then I could vote for him. But I shall always speak a good word for Mr. Hughes. Col. D. G. Hughes, father of Dudley Hughes, was always my friend. He too, was a very dis tinguished man, a gentleman of the old school, and to know him was to love him. I trust I may meet him in the great beyond. John. T. Land. Maxm, Sept. 21. British View of Cotton and the War. Careful calculations show that since the war began Germany has been shooting away from 800 to 1,000 tons of cotton a day on all fronts. One of her great fortress reducing howitzers shoots a ton in about eight shots. Taking big and little cannon together, it is estimated that about 650 shots account for a ton. It is calcula ted that at the present time Ger many has about 250,000 tons of cotton available. To secure this surplus she has had to close down those cotton mills that are not employed upon army con tracts. If she continues to shoot away 800 tons a day, it is a mat ter of simple calculation to ascer tain that by the first week in February she will have “shot her bundle.’’ If she uses cotton at the rate of 1,000 tons a day, as calculated by Hillaire Beiloc, she will have exhausted her sup ply a month earlier. Reports have been sent out from Berlin to the effect that the chemists of Germany have found in wood pulp a substitute for cotton; but British scientists tell us that this is impossible. Even if wood pulp would answer the purpose, it would be necessary to remodel all the guns before they could utilize it. Therefore, we are jus tified in assuming that if Ger many cannot get cotton she can not get ammunition, and that if she cannot get ammunition she will have to throw down her arms. —Toronto (Canada) Em pire. Mule Didn’t Mind Beehive in His Ear. Rome. N. Y., Oct. 2.-C. E. Edgecross took one of his mules from the pasture, where it had been for several weeks, and while hitching it up noticed several bees flying around the animal’s head. Fearing that their presence would bring an attack of nerves to the mule, he shooed them off, but they promptly returned and disappeared in the animal’s right ear. Edgecross investigated and found the bees had swarmed in the lower part of the ear and had deposited a considerable amount of honey in a comb. The swarm was dislodged, the honey cleaned out, and it was found that the interior of the ear was inflamed from stings. Edgecross lost a hive of bees a few weeks ago. Fooled the “Road Hog.” Automobile drivers who have suffered from “road hogs” tell me that those autoist who insist in taking up more than their amount of space and refuse to allow others to pass them on nar row roads, will, in the future, be cared for, all through the thought fulness of a member of the auto mobile fraternity who has hit upon a unique plan. Returning from the Panama Exposition he had with him sev eral large tornedoes, such as chil dren celebrate with on July 4. En route, this man (Dr. A. L. Marks) was crowded by an auto mobile driver in frontof him who wouldn’t let the physician’s car pass. Suddenly the doctor thought of the torpedoes, and taking one, threw it at the rear of the head machine. It exploded with ter rific noise. The driver of the car immediately stopped and began looking for the “blowout.” Dr. Marks shot ahead, and, as far as he knows, the'other driver is still hunting for the cause of the explosion. —Boston Post. Had No Objection. “Before we take you on the jury, Mr. Smith, we must ask whether you have formed any opinion of the prisoner’s guilt or innocence.” “No,” said Smith grimly, ac cording to London Opinion. ‘No, I ain’t formed no opinion.” “And, Mr. Smith, have you, or have you not, any conscien | tious objections to capital punish i ment?” j “No,” said Smith more grirn i ly, “not in this case.” THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCTORER 7, 1015 ANNOUNCEMENTS.

A certain Columbus, Ohio, newspaper man is proud of the precocity of his five-year-old niece, says the Dispatch. As typical of her mental agility as well as her capacity for humor, he tells the following: “We were visiting recently at my brother’s home. When din ner was called the child politely but firmly announced that she had no idea of dining and would remain away from the table. “ ‘Why, Mildred, you must eat three full meals a day if you are ever to grow up and be a lady,’ remarked my wife, who happens to be a woman of substantial proportions. “Carefully surveying her gra tuitous adviser, the little miss said: ‘Auntie, do you eat four meals a day?” Serving Two Masters. A. B. Storms, former president of the State College, Ames, lowa, in his lecture “Are We Sane or Insane?” tells the following inci dent in his discussion of the mad rush of American youth to get positions—to get at something that will bring them money, says Case and Comment. “My sister, who served as a missionary, once asked a raw Norwegian girl if she didn’t want to serve the Lord, ‘Nope,’ said the girl, ,Aye got a yob.’ ” All in the Arrangement. A man w'as brought before a police court charged with abusing his team and using loud and pro fane language on the street, says the Literary Digest. One of the witnesses was a pious old darkey, who was submited to a short cross-examination. “Did the defendant use im proper language?” asked the lawyer. “Well, he talk mighty loud, suh.” “Did he indulge in profanity?” The witness seemed puzzled. The lawyer put the question in an another form. “What I mean, Uncle Aus, is did he use words that would be proper for your minister to use in a sermon?” “Oh, yes, suh, yes, suh, re plied the old man with a grin that revealed the full width of his immense mouth; “but dey’d have to be ’ranged diffrunt.” Farm Loans.
