CAUSE TRCUBU Ninth Cavalry Given Orders to Leave San Antonio. RACE WAR IS AVERTED Colored Troops Are Sent to the Border For Patrol Duty San Antonio, Tex., April 4.—, A race war in San Antonio has been averted by orders for the removal of colored troops from the Ninth cavalry, General Car ter’s division. Feeling between white and negro soldiers over the refusal of the latter to obey “Jim Crow” and Qther municipal regulations for blacks reached a climax, when President Taft con sented to the immediate move ment of soldiers to the border for patrol duty where the color ed soldiers can not reach the cities. Slopping about in the mud, with tents flooded, streets bog gy, blankets damp and a. suffi cient drop in the temperature to make the camp cold and misera ble, there are a lot of disgusted soldiers at Fort Sam Houston. . The i*ebel junta here has re ports from Tammaulipas to the effect that a body of insurrectos raided the American colony at Columbe and drove off a lot of valuable mules and cattle. This act has been discountenanced and the rebels warned to return the stolen plunder and in the fu ture to let American property alone. Recent success in cap turing two ammunition trains of the federals have supplied' the rebels with sufficient munitions of w^r to continue the campaign fer some time. and Mrs. Jon Gainey visited Mr. and Mrs. E.

Vidalia, Ga,, April 3.—Statistics prepared under the auspices of the local Chamber of Commerce will show that the farmers of tnis imme diate section have received for then cotton seed alone over $130,000. A number of growers have retained this by-product and are returning to the soil under their new crop in stead of accepting the handsome prices that have been paid this sea son. Only a few years ago this product was thrown away and it is probably due to the salvage and the fine mar ket for this kind of stuff, that was formerly a waste, that the farmers are mare prosperous. The local oil mills have this sea son ground nearly 4,0(10 tons of seed, all of which was bought in this section and besides this possi bly another thousand tons were ta ken by out-of-town mills. The prices this year have been well over $23 a ton and, from that up to $35—an average of $30 a ton. It is probable that even more than this will he paid next season, as many additional acres have been prepared for cultivatioh. Booth’s Crossing Dull times around Booth’s Cross ing.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lee and Mr. Must Enforce Her Own Liquor Laws and Not Look to United States—Against Roads From Bringing Liquor Into India Ter ritory-State Case. Washington, April 3.—The bur den of statehood w as brought home to the state of Oklahoma today when the Supreme Court of the United States, in substance, told the state that it was to look hereafter to its law for the regulation of the liquor traffic and freight rates and not to the federal government. The state about a year ago filed an original petition in the supreme Court, asking it to. enjoin railroads entering the old Indian Territory from carrying liquor into that sec tion of the state. The request was based on the requirement that the state of Oklahoma provide in its constitution that liquor should not be sold there. The Supreme Court said today that the state should go into the state courts to enjoin the roads under the state law if it is de sired. The court likewise refused to en join the federal judges in Oklahoma from enforcing certain decrees they had issued in liquor cases, involving a conflict of authority between the. federal and state courts. The court held that, in view of its right to eview the eases on writs, it would not enjoin the judges. Makers Used Mexican Dollars In Their Manufacture-Two Ar rests Have Been Made.
