ATLANTA, May 28 —Thera Is A hot
row on between Baldwin and Jones
counties, which will have
be set-
tled'by Secretary of State Philip Cook.
This dispute, over the county line. Is of
long standing and Is said to involve
about 2.500 acres of valuable land, val-
uab e to the county at least for the
purposes of taxation. About tyo
years ago the governor appointed
Royal Smith to survey the county line
between Baldwin and Jones, with a
view to 3f-eing If the dispute could
not be settled. Mr. Smith gave quite
a slice of the land claimed by Jones
to Baldwin, whereat Jones entered em
phatic protest. Still determined or.
conciliation. If possible, the governor
appointed C. C. Anderson. of B.bu
county, to survey the Baldwln-Jones
lines. Mr. Anderson. It seems, gave
Baldwin county about 500 acres more
than did Hr. Smith, and Jones coun
ty's kick became louder than before
Mr. Anderson only recently filed his
report, and as a result of Jones’ pro
test the case will have to go before
the secretary of state for Judicial de
termination. Secretary Cook Is now
tn correspondence with the parties at
Interest, with a view to fixing
dor the hearing.

Georgia Has a Five Forke.
ATLANTA, May 28.—Everybody has
heard of Five Forks, S. ID., and of

that Georgia has a Five Forks with
dignity enough to become a banking
renter has hardly been a matter of
common knowledge. Notwithstanding
which there 1s pending with the sec

Board, held at the capltol, the recent
action of State Entomologist R. T.
Smith. In condemning and ordering
burned peach trees In the orchard of
TV. J. A. Johnson, of Gordon county,
•was approved. This action probably
means a test In the courts of the legal
extent to which tho State entomologist
can go In protecting the orchards of
the State against pests. An examinq-
Inn of Dr. Johnson's orchard showed
1t to be Infested with San Jose scale.
He was directed to spray Jtls trees In
aecnrdanco with the rules laid down
by the department. This he refused
to do. Then the Infected trees were
marked and ordered burned. Dr.
Johnson likewise declined to comply
with this order. The matter was then
tskrn before the entomological board,
where tho action of the State entomol
ogist was approved. The next step
will be a test case In the courts to as
certain Just what powers the en
tomological department has under the
laws creating it. The law In ques-1
tion has never yet been tested.

Walter Hubbard tonight made public a
defense of the system of classification
practiced by the New York Cotton Ex

constitutes the first official expression
made by the exchange upon the sub

of overclassifying made In the action
recently Instituted against the ex
change by Theodore H. Price and the
Southern Cotton Association.
The statement of the exchange in
part follows:

by the Southern Cotton Association
that the classification committee of
the New York Cotton Exchange has

WASHINGTON, May 28.—Secretary
Root today received the following tele
gram from the governor of California,
In answer to a message of inquiry rel
ative to the attack upon Japanese in
Frisco last Tuesday:
"San FYancisco, May 27.
"Your telegram of May 25, concern
ing assault made upon Japanese, re
ceived. Will call attention of chief

your telegram and request him to use

try. These affidavits show
that the cotton delivered to the mer
chants In question under the rules of
the New York Cotton Exchange Is
uniformly up to the established stan
dard. They show that the work of the
classification committee has been hon
est and intelligent and that the num
ber of claims made with the exchange
for errors in classification have
amounted for many years to less than
one-twentieth of one per cent of the
total number of bales inspected and-
classified by the committee. As a mat
ter of fact, the only complaints which
have reached the exchange are from
cotton merchants who complained be
cause the cotton shipped here for de
livery on contract by them has been
classed too high. The merchants mak
ing these affidavits, including firms
which have shipped many thousand
bales of cotton classed by the New
York Cotton Exchange, declare un
qualifiedly that tho system of classify
ing and delivering through this ex
change is the fairest and best in ex
istence in any cotton exchange in the
world.
•‘The New York Cotton Exchange
denies specifically and In toto the
chargo that Its classification commit
tee has egaged In the practice of over
classifying cotton so that unsalable
grades might be utilized for clearing
contracts on the exchange. The ex
change never has and will not now
tolerate over classification of cotton
shipped to this market. The record
of the classification committee shows
such accuracy and fairness In its work
that merchants and spinners, though
not members of tho exchange, are con
tinually submitting to it for decision
their disputes regarding classification.”

NEW YORK, May 28.—Late today
Mayor McClellan recorded his official
disapproval of the public utilities bill,
which he sent back to the legislature,
where it Is expected it will be passed
without the mayor’s signature. In
a memorandum, accompanying the
measure, tho mayor explains that
while he Is in accord with the general
principles embodied In the bill, It is
as a whole so destructive of the prin
ciple of home rule that one course was
open to him. This was his basic ob
jection: but the mayor adds, in effect:
That such legislation would result in
evitably in the appointment of parti-
zan commissioners, who in times of
party stress would use their power to
coerce transportation companies Into

Admiral Hichborn
Praises Pe=rum
Admiral’s Words Carry Weight.
Rear-Admiral Hichborn is one of the
best-known officers in our navy. His
statements concerning Peruna will
have much weight as they go out in
the world. What he says is echoed by
many others of high standing.
What the Admiral Says.
Philip Hichborn, Rear-Admiral of
the U. S. Navy. Washington, D. C.,
writes:
"After the use of Peruna for a short
period, 1 can now cheerfully recom
mend your valuable remedy to any one
who is in need of an invigorating
tonic." Philip Hichborn.
Kidney Trouble.
Mr. Andrew Cooper. 337 Socond St.,
Menasha, Wis., President of Menasha
Horticultural Society, and member of
Ancient Order of United Workmen,
writes;
‘1 suffered with kidney trouble for a
number of years. I took Peruna for a
couple of weeks before I noticed any
change for the better, but my Improve
ment was very fast after that, and In a
littlo while I could go to work again.
I used Peruna for four months and was
rid of all kidney trouble, the pains in
my back were all gone, and I felt much
better all around.”
Exposure and Dampness.
Mr. Sylvester E. Smith, Room 21S,
Granite Block, St. Louis, Mo., writes:
"Peruna Is the best friend a sick man
can have. A few months ago I came
here in a wretched condition. Expo
sure and dampness had ruined my
once robust health. I had catarrhal af
fections of tho bronchial tubes and for
a time there was a doubt as to my re
covery. My doctor advised me to take
Peruna, which I did and in a short
time my health began to Improve very
rapidly, the bronchial trouble gradually
disappeared and In three months my
health was fully restored.” ,
An Ever-Present Foe.
Tho soldier Is especially subject to
catarrh. In the barracks and on the
field Peruna is found equally efficla-
cious to overcome this physical enemy.
If taken in time it will prevent colds
from developing Into catarrh. Even
after a cold has settled In some organ

“This department is in receipt of an
unofficial report from the command
ing officer of the United States steam
er Truxton, dated Pine Beach, Va.,
May 16, 1907, with regard to a case of
disrespect to the service uniform
which has occurred during the sojourn
of the flotilla off Pine Beach.
“The commanding officer of the
Truxton states that the dancing pavil
ion of Pine Beach Park refuses ad
mittance to men in blue jacket's uni
forms; at the same time grant un
qualified admittance to soldiers in uni
form. On receipt of complaint from
well-behaved and self-respecting men
of the vessel, a first class petty officer
was instructed to apply for admit
tance and if refused to see the mana
ger and ask reasons for such actions.
Such direction being carried out, S. E.
Lane, gunners mate of the first class
was, on the loth instant, refused ad
mission to the dancing pavillion, the
j manager stating that ‘under no cir-
| cumstances would men in blue jacket's
| uniform be admitted; that the men
I were not objected to, but their : uni
form was, and that if they wished to
go In and dance other clothes would
be furnished them.’ Request was
made to see the ‘other clothes’’ men
tioned, and the petty officer was shown
a dressing room where a stock of
white clothes were kept, ‘very much
similar to the regulation mess atten
dant uniform.’ On ; being- Informed
that the matter would be reported to
the proper authorities, the manager
stated that the action would do no
good and would be a waste of time.
“This park is advertised as being
under the management of the Colum
bia Amusement Company, incorpora
ted, W. F. Crawl, president.
“As the navy Is doing everything in
its power to make the exposition a
success, your attention is invited to the
instance of apparent discrimination
against the service uniform, and it is
believed that some action should be
taken thereon by withholding license
or otherwise. If such practices be
permitted, the result will, this depart
ment feels assured, prove highly
prejudicial to the naval service by-
causing the uniform of the navy to be
looked upon with disfavor.
"Commending the matter to your
earnest attention, I shall be glad to be
advised of such action as you may
deem It appropriate to take in the
premises, it being understood, of
course, that whatever Is done in this
connection to be of value must be done
without delay. Very respectfully.
"B. H. METCALF, Secy.”
A copy of this letter was sent to
President Tucker, of the Jamestown
Exposition Company, by Secretary
Metcalf, to which he added:
“Your Interest and co-operation in
the taking of such prompt steps as
may be practicable for the correction
■of the discrimination against men in
the naval uniforms by any concerns
over which the authorities of the ex
position have Jurisdiction are earnest
ly requested.’
Both Gov. Swanson and President
Tucker replied to Secretary Metcalf,
under date of May 24. Gov. Swanson
said that he should at once do every
thing he could possibly and under the
law to have the indiscrimination
stopped. ,
President Tucker explained that the
Pine Beach park was entirely outside
of the grounds of the exposition, and
that the exposition company had no
authority or control over its manage
ment. Mr. Tucker expressed hearty-
sympathy with the secretary’s position
and "said he would do everything he
could as a citizen of the commonwealth
to prevent discrimination against the
navy uniform.
The matter Is now in the hands of
the law department of the navy.
Secretary Metcalf places no blame
on the exposition company, Inasmuch
the discrimination has occurred en-
