■ Washington, D. C., Aug. 12.—
President Wilson let it be known
today that he was inclined to be
lieve there was an organized de
sire-proceeding from sources
unknown to him—to bring on a
war between the United States
and Mexico.
The president does not regard
the war movement as extensive,
but as very troublesome, and re
ferred to misrepresentations in
some individual newspapers, IJe
indicated that he shared some
what the views of Senator Wil
liams, who declared in a speech
Saturday that an organized iobby
existed to involve the United
States in war.
There is no occasion for alarm
in the opinion of the president,
who told callers today that with
in the last 48 hours the Mexican
situation had improved material
ly. It was made clear by the
president to those with whom-the
discussed the- situation, that in
struction to John Lind, his per
sonal representative, were chief
ly to inform the ■ American gov
ernment how things stood gen
erally in Mexico,, and just what
were the opportunities for the
good officers of the United States
in the interests of peace.
Big Lumber Plant.
While some of the large lumber
myis in this section are shutting
down owing to the slump in lum
ber, Whigham is congratulating
itself that the Boyd Lumber
Company of Richburg, Ala., has
just moved its big $75,000 plant
to that town and will open up for
business very shortly. The capa
city of the plant will be about one
hundred thousand feet a day and
five hundred wox*kmen will be
used. Enough timber has been
bought to run the plant for ten
years. The land for the erection
of the plant was tendered the
company by the citizens of Whig-
ham.—Thomasville Press.

LOBBY COMMITTEE
A dispatch sentout$£rom Wash
ington Friday says:
‘‘Representive Roddebbery of
Georgia to-day resigrWfrl as a
member of the House lobby com
mittee. . Speaker Clark appoint
ed Representative Scott Ferris of
Oklahoma to fill the. vacancy.”
This announcement comes as
quite a surprise to Judge Rodden-
bery’s many friends in the south.
The po-ition is one of mucih im
portance and carried with it high
honors, as it offers a bioacf- field
for members to destinguish them
selves in displaying ability.
Evidently Judge Roddenber.v
had good reasons for resigning,
and by so doing will no doubt
render his constituents better
service for having done so. He
is so thoroughly equipped for the
service on such committee it wi.ll
be a hard one to fill by his suc
cessor.
FIFIY MILLIONS
FOR MOVING CROPS
When Grandmother
Was a Pretty Girl
Didn’t you ever hear your
grandmother tell what a fine
complexion she and her girl
friends had in their young days?
And hasn’t she told you of the
way they made a compound of
buttermilk and other things to
apply every day for keeping the
skin soft, clear and satin-smooth?
Some of those old-fashioned
beautifiers were very effective,
even if rather crude. Butter
milk certainly has a wonderful
softening and whitening effect
on the skin when used right.
We are fortunate in having a
delightful toilet cerate, made
from pure fresh dairy butter
milk, combined with other in
gredients that nourish the skin,
and it is delighting hundreds of
women who care about their com
plexions. You might like to try
it yourself. Ask at our store for
Buttermilk Cerate
A tube can be had foJ 25c, a
large jar for 50c.
There are many Penslar prep
arations, covering every toilet
need—all just as fine as the But
termilk Cerate which, by the way,
is just what every one needs now
to heal, sooth and soften rough
chapped skin. We recommend in
absolutely.

SUPERIOR COURT
CONVENES IN SEPT.
Grady Superior Court, Judge
Park-presiding, will convene in
practically decided today to be-'September. A number of cases
gin within the next few days in j that will be of considerable in
placing with banks in the rotton
states -th4Ar proportion of the ad
ditional $50,000,000 government
deposits for crop moving purpos
es. The need for these deposits
in the southern states was out
lined by the bankers from that
section at the recent conferences
with officials of the department.
It was stated at the dexart-
ment that the cotton crop move
ment already had begun ann that
the need for the money was ur
gent. Reports from several Fla
cities told the department that
unless the money could be placed
within the next few weeks it
would be practically valueless to
them.
A consideration that was most
potent in deciding the depart
ment was that the North could re
turn the money in time for its
use in other sections. It was in
dicated that the cotton planters
would be through with the money
during September and that it
could be l’eturned to the treas
ury department no latefi than the
middle of November. No 'final
decision has yet been reached on.
the proportion of the deposits
that are fo be made in the re
spective sections, but it was made
clear that at least'half would be
placed in the south,
CAIRO'S FIRST BALE
Cairo received her first bale of
new cotton last Friday morning,
and the second bale Saturday
morning.
EdThomaston, who lives north
of town, brought the first one
which was ginned by the Grady
Ginning Co., weighed518pounds
and sold for 15 cents.
Walter Washington, a colored
man brought the second bale.
By Saturday night Cairo will
have received quite a number of
bales—making a guess; we will
say 30 bales. It may be more—
and it may be less. But it is cot
ton selling time we and have had
some cotton opening weather.

it was impossible to get the seat

dedication of the new house of
worship will be at the next reg

made later.—Boston Home.
