I have tried to scrape up some news notes for you, but, like everything else, News is scarce and hard to get. I don’t believe I coi Id scrape up a spoonfull of local news with a railroad sovape around here just now. Somebody must have canned all the news and are holding it for a higher price. Everybody seems to be talking war. They go home and talk war, then walk up to the store and talk more war, and it’s war talk everywhere you go. If I had all the advice I have received about this war barrelled up and could sell it at ten cents a barrel II could finance the whole she bang for the next twenty years. Yes, sir, most everybody knows just how this war ought to be fought but wants the other fel low to do the fighting. I don’t see any use in worrying or going around with a face as long as a boot leg and an expression on it set like the time lock on a Nat-, ional bank.

Miss Ethel Haddock, Shellman, Kaiser’s Plan to Lruslt America (From The Macon News) Thrse who try to comfort themselves with the thought that the United States is in no danger from Germany overlooks a grett body of facts which ought to be kept before their eyes. In 1908 the kaiser made a speech at a secret council held in P stdam in which he clearly out lined his purpose to destroy his enemies in Europe and then fall upon the United States— "und with the United States at my mercy, I shall set a new course to the destinies of the world.” The text of his speech was cabled to this country by W. Ham ilton Rhodes, the well known London correspondent, and pub lished in American newspapers March 14, 1915.
