CHARLTON COUNTY HERALD. VOLUME Xil. ' NUMBER 2] Presidents of Two RepubEcs Visit Each Other. ! President Taft is Lavishly Entertained at Banquet and Eats From Dishes of Emperor Maximilian. El Paso, Texas.—The long expect ed meeting beeween President Taft and President Diaz of the Republic of Mexico, took place here. Qutwara ly it was attended with a display of soldiery, a flare of trumpets, a boom of cannon and a pomp of cere mony suggestive of supreme author ity; but in the actual handclaps of the two executives and in the ex change of courtesies words which passed from lip to lip there was sim ple but cordial informality. President Diaz was the first to speak. He assured President Taft of his warm personal regard and his high esteem of the man who had ac complished so much in the Philip pines, in Cuba and elsewhere, and who had now the honor to be. the chief executive of so great a nation as the United States. President Taft, in simple Amerlcqn fashion, declared he was glad to meet President Diaz. He was glad to know the President of such a great nation; especially glad to know the present president, who had made the nation great. Both presidents dwelt upon the cor diality of the relations existing be tween the United States and Mexico. President Taft declared that the meet ing was not necessary to make the bonds of friendship stronger—it mere ly typified the strength of the bonds as they already exist. There were less than a score of per sons permitted to witness the meet ing of the two executives. Even these were excluded later when Pres ident Taft .and President Diaz with drew into an inner room of the Cham ber of Commerce building, where the historic meeting took place, and were only attended by Governor Creel of the state of Chihuahua, former am bassador to the United States, who acted as interpreter, The scene of the ceremonies shift ed from time to time from this thriv ing little Amerjcan city across the shallow, wandering Rio Grande river to the typical little Mexican settle ment of Ciudad Juarez.. . i In the customs house there Presi dent Diaz received a return call from President Taft, and later entertained the American president at a large dinner party at a state banquet,which, in all its surroundings of lavish dec orations ‘of brilliancy in color, of the wealth of silver plate, handed down from the time of Emeperor Maximil ian, and in every carefully considered detail was probably the most notable feast ever served on the American continent. It was at this banguet that the more formal and public expressions of regard between the two executives as the representatives of the people of the United States and Mexico, were unchanged. The day was marred by but one un toward incident. A lad of fifteen years was stabbed to death by a school com panion just as President Taft was stepping from his special train upon its arrival in the center of the city. GOMMITTED SUICIDE IN NIAGARA. For First Time in History of River the Body Was Recovered. Niagara Falls, N. Y.—Within half an hour after he had gone over. the American cataract, two guides at the Cave of the Winds—William Barnett and George Wright—recovered the body of George Maero (or Mavrocor dato) of Milwaukee, a man about 40 years old. Never before in the history of the river, under normal conditions, has a body been recovered from the rampart of rocks that fronts the rocks. Maero was seen to enter the water from the north shore of Lune Island by Joseph Lennox, ‘a hackman, a young bridal couple, friends of his, and an officer, Alexander, Maero did not lose his footing in the current, the water at that point being very shallow, He sat down in the stream and then, bumping along on the rocky bottom for about forty feet, he plunged over the crest into the abyss. - Alexander ran to the Cave of the Winds house and informed Barnett and Wright of the suicide. ' In less than five minutes Maero's body appeared, bobbing on the churn. ing water. By an odd turn of fate it was washed upon a flat rock and held there, Wright and Barnett, with ropes about their waists, clambered down, and, securing the body with difficulty in the blinding spray, car-. GHINA STIRRED AGAINST JAPAN, Feeling is Fomented by Circulars of Chinese Association, Tokio, Japan.—Copies of circulars issued in China by a body of Chinese calling themselves the ‘“Popular As sociation of Three Eastern Provinces,” and spread broadcast, created a sen. sation upon their receipt in Japan. The circulars contain inflammatory statements against the Japanese. They bear upon what is called the weakness of poor China and the “in sulting aggression of Japan.” Efforts are being made to prevent the spreading of their contents among Japanese of the ignorant class, be. cause of the danger of arousing feel. ing at this time, ‘ STOLEN CHILDREN FOUND. | Tomasco and Grace Viviano Were Kid naped in St. Louis Last August. Chi%ago, Ill.—Tomaso and Grace Viviano, the children kidnaped last August, from theip home, at St. Louis, and recovered here, while wandering, cold and hungry, about the streets, spent a quiet night at the Passavant Hospital. The girl, at first believed to be suffering from pneumonia, broaght on by exposure to the cold, was said to be suffering from nothin's more serious than a severe cold. The children talked scarcely at all after awakening, but the warm food given them and the solicitous care of the nurses were indicated in bright-. er eyes and the return of blood to. their cheeks. o ' Little could be gained from them re. garding the kidnaping. The hoy spoke | of being in a wagon drawn by = ‘twg: horses, and declared that the driver was a fine man who had given Grace a chain, Subsequently they were ta ken a board a train ‘and the whistle | tooted.” : | The children weré returned to their father, who declared that no ransom . had been paid. The children are be lieved to have been treated brutally to force them into silence under any | any and all conditions and to be still ‘ undar the fear of punishment, | “We were with ‘Sam’ and ‘mama,’ ”’ said the boy to his father. “We lived in the basement of a wooden house. They would never let us go to play. ‘Mama’ took us out on the street the other night and left us by ourselves.” ‘ The “Sam” mentioned is believed to be Samuel Turisi, employed by the Vivianos, and for whom the police have been searching.

Jl:“*\ by nh :fi*r Unless Various Guard Organizations Conform to Standards They Will Re ceive No More Government Money. Washington, D. C.—January 21, 1910, will be a critical date in the hitsory of the national guard, ofr thereafter no portion of the money appropriated by congress for the sup port of the militia can be paid to any organization that fails to con form to wee standards of the regular army. The Dick bill of 1903, originally pre scribed a period of five years for the bringing about of the considerable changes necessary to place the nation al guardsmen in uniformity of organi cation and equipment with the regu lar goldier. But as the time limit ap proached, it was found that vey few of the states had been able to con form, s 0 an extension was granted un til January 21, 1910. " As the date grows near, the offi cers of the war department who are directly charged with the administra tion of the laws governing the rela tions of the department with the mi litia are taking stock of the work accomplished and calculating the per centage of the national guard, as it stands. today, that will be thus quali fled to retain governmental support. Through its system of inspection of. militia organizations by regular “ef ficers, the war department is in pos session of some exact information re garding the conditions. The detailed results will be made public in the fotrncoming annual report of Colonel E. M. Weaver, chief of the division of militia affairs. : It may be stated that, on the whole, the war department expresses great satisfaction in the prospect, and the apparent success attending the work ings of the Dick bill. Next year, for the first time in its history, the milt tia, or so much of it as remains under the caption of “The National Guard,” will be found armed with the latest pattern of military rifles, clothed from head to foot in regualr army gear; supplied with all regular equipment and with ranks fllled to the require ment of the law. e The task has been one of cmtdor—? able.magnitude, and that the difficul ties have been met and overcome by so many of the states and territories of the union, is held by the depart ment as reflecting credit upon the na tional guard officers. In many cases the companies and regiments were mere skeletons; twenty-five men made up an active company in many states. Some organizations had showy dress uniforms for parades, but lacked the homely, businesslike khaki outfits re quired for field service. Still others had only fragments of any kind of uniform—perhaps a soldier’s cap or coat, which, with some discarded style of rifle, was supposed tp indicate mem bership in the guard. The improvement in conditions has been general, but markedly so in the south, which had formerly becn re garded as a weak spot by the strict disciplinarians of the regular army, who felt that in that section undue prominence had been given to the so cial and club features by ‘the militia. men at the sacrifice of military quali ty. Though lacking the massive bri gades and divisions of the more popu lous northern states, the militia com panies in a number of the southern states are now reported by the in specting offices to be in a very satis factory condition of conformity to army standards, The west also is doing well, though there are some spots regarded as weak, notably in Nevada, ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTE ARRIVSS, Lady Cook Comes to United States to Corner Taft. New York Ctiy.—Lady Cook, the widow of a London banker and one of the leading suffragettes of Tngland, arrived here for the purpose of hegin ning a campaign to secure the bhallot for women in the United States. Lady Cook says that she is ready, if need’be, to spend $1,000,000, all her fortune, to win votes for women. She will place the money, she says, with New York bankers. “I am going right to Mr, Taft,” Lady Cook continued, “to see if I cannot get him to do what Lincoln did, but by peaceable measures. I shall call the president’s attention to the four teenth amendment of the constitution. The constitution says thatonly idiots, the meane and convicts may not vote, and 1 want to know if that ars wom en, King Edward, at heart, sympa thizes with us, and so did his mother, Queen Victoria, before him.” MORE CASH FOR CANAL. $210,070,468 Has Been Appropriated 8o Far. Vvashington, D, C.—~The secretary of war has received warrants for money necessary to continue con struction of the Panama canal during the fiscal year 1910, The amount is $48,063,554. Since construction began on the ca nal $210,670,468 has been appropriat «d. According to the esdmate just recalved, considering the amount of work accomplished, it is believed the canal will cost over $400,000,00, ‘fome men are about .as tiresome as a last year's popular song, | By E. L. Worsham, State 4 Entomclogist, \ k. Atlanta, Ga.—The Georgia State &trd of Entomology has recently ‘encluded a series of experiments th various oils and lime and sul dur compounds ‘as 'remedial meas ures for San Jose scale, The results of these experiments, soon to be Bglt out from the department in bul letin’ form, are sure to be of value uiotruit growers and orchardists of Georgia, The purpose of the experiments was to test the efficiency of soluble 01l compounds as compared with the standard home-made preparation of lime and sulphur, and the more re céntly introduced manufactured com pounds of lime and sulphur. Six dif férent oils were included in the test, a 8 follows: Target Brand Emulsion, Scalecide, San-U-Zay, Soluble Petro -1 , Kil-O-Scale, Schnarr's Scale bmpound No. 1, Schnarr’'s Scale ompound No. 2. Two brands of prepared lime and sulphur were used gside of the oil. © One plat of trees was sprayed with the standard boiled mixture of lime and sulphur, pared on the grounds. Several of the soluble oils in the %o‘ve list have been known in Georgia for a number of vears. They have been used in different sections of the state with varying degrees of success. Primarily they were intended to fill the demand for an insecticide other than the home-made lime and sulphur, &‘ath which there was considerable digsatisfaction because of the trouble olved in making and applying it. Fo a large extent they displace lime d sulphur, Reports on the results obtained from oils have not always been satisfactory. It has been the erience of many fruit growers that they were unreliable, and there has been much complaint from varl ous sources that they, as scale de ,;lt,royers, were not entirely satisfac- Ty, ;i \ ~ Within the past two years preparé':l concéntrated lime and sulphur has made its appearance in the field. This compound is a reddish liquid, strained and perfectly free of solid matter. ‘Two years ago it was tried in an ex _perimental way by the department,and promised well -as a scale insecticide. ‘Last winter it was used extensively !_%Um,-cmercial orchards of the ~state, and in every case whenw 1t was ~well spplied the results vere of a very high ‘orgler. addhongr not showing on | thy trees as plaiuly as the home-made «feforial, it leaves them a dull xrg. An color, suciently so to determine t quality of the spraying. Beside the home-made - product of the lime and sulphur wasn, the manufactured arti cle compares most favorably. When manufactured by a reliable company the latter is really more uniform in composition than the former, The following is a summary of our report on preparations used in our expariments: g “It will be seen in the preceding pages that all the oils included in the | test, particularly those whose reputa tion is well established, gave excel-{ lent results in controlling the scale. They may be depended upon to give satisfaction, as a rule, when properly ‘ and thoroughly mixed and applied. Too great emphasis cannot be placed on the necessity of doing the actual field work thoroughly., An inch of badly infested limb or twig left un- | touched by the spray is capable of largely reinfesting practically the en- | tire tree the following summer. } “While each oil was applied as a | spring treatment and as a fall treat- | ment, it was found in every case that the fall treatment was of superior ef fectiveness, This is a rule: The earlier the spray can be applied after the leaves have fallen, the better will be the net results. “The mechanical appliances of ap- ‘ plication are exiremely important, es pecially with soluble oils, A good pump developing a high pressure and a noz zle throwing a direct, forcetul spray, are very mnecessary to obtain good results, “The concentrated lime and sulphur solutions, being free of all solid mat ter, cffer no more serious obstacles to easy spray than the oils, They are much thore caustic in nature, however, and it is well to be protected from continuous physical contact with them, Under well regulated condlitions they spray as easily as water might, and no more harmful to the person, compared to the soluable oil com pounds for efficiency; they* yield quite as good results as the best oils, even when the latter are used at a greater strength than recommended Ly the manufacturers, A tree well sprayed with lime and sulphur always offers a cleaner, brighter and healthier appear ance than a tree equally well sprayed with an oil. Besides its strictly in secticidal value, lime and suplhur pos sesees fungicidal properties to a mtuch greater degree than it is possible to incorporate in a soluble oil.” No Right to Cause Disease, Atlanta, Ga,—A waler power com pany may not construct a dam which will cause a backwater, stagnant, and breeding mosquitoes, At least, if it does, it will be liable in damages to the parties living along the banks of the stream. So the court of ap. peals has decided in an opinion hand. ed down, The title of the case was the Towaliga Falls Power Company against Goorge Sims, which came up from the city court of Forsyth, Sims claimed that the company's dam had caused a pond to form, of stagnant water, and that it had be come & breeding place for anopheles mosquitoes, whereby his family had contracted malaria and had been othe erwise greatly inconvenienced.
