Gale offers cumu lative evidence concerning the prover bial wisdom of the ant. Owners of gardens have been troubled by armies of green bugs which suck the juice from pea vines. In the wake of these green bugs come thousands of black ants, which tap the bugs and extract the sweet juice which the bugs have drawn from the plants. The operation is apparently harmless to the bugs, which, disheartened by such highway methods, depart from the gardens, invariably followed by the per sistent ants. Forester Gale says that he has seen a bug fall from a pea vine, only to be seized by some vigilant ant and carried back to its perch again to get more juice for the ant.

F'NDS ISLAND IN RIVER, AND NOW IT’S HIS OWN HARRISBURG, July 11. —It seems a trifle odd that at this, late day there could be found an island in the Juanita river, that didn't belong to anybody, es pecially when the island is about four acres in extent; but George B. Black, of Harrisburg, made the discovery, and in course of time will own the island. The ground in question is in the river ai Newport, and Mr. Black discovered that nobody had a legal claim to it, '■hereupon he filed an application for it ft ith the state board of property.

U. CONSTRUCTION WORK IS HALTED BY THE SUPERIOR COURT The Western Union Telegraph Com pany’s construction operations along the lines of the Western and Atlantia, the Georgia and the Central of Georgia rail roads. following condemnation proceed ings granted by the Fulton superior court, came to a stop today when the supreme court reversed Judge Bell’s decision on the Western and Atlantic's appeal. The Fulton court had denied the rail roads an injunction against the Western Union, on the grounds that the N., c. and St. L., as lessees of the Western and At lantic, had waived its right to stop con demnation through its contract with the state. The supreme court held that the rail road had the choice of routes over its own right-of-way, and, while the West ern Union could erect telegraph lines, it had failed to show good cause why it should be allowed to condemn both sides of the Western and Atlantic right-of way. The decision affects injunction suits brought by the Georgia and the Central of Georgia railroads. GIRL‘GUYING’’ LSI POLICEMAN FINED If You Have Any Remarks to Make About an Atlanta Cop, Forget Them. Policeman Alewine is fat—he doesn’t deny it—but his size doesn’t prevent him from doing a Marathon when taunted about his fatness. And. it may be added, it costs real money to guy a fat Atlanta policeman. Ola Pickett, a negro girl, teased Po liceman Alewine—just to see him run— but today she is sorry. Walking up close to the big officer, the. girl crooked her finger at him, grinned and shouted: "Hello, Fatty. I betcha can't ketch me, Ole Fatty Cop!" And Ola sped away. The husky of ficer also sped. Seizing her dress in her hands and jerking it above her knees, the girl fled wildly. But. she couldn’t lose the ponderous avoirdupois in the blue uniform. Finally, panting for breath, the girl was overtaken. ■”se g’ilty. jedge,” she said to the recorder. "I jes’ wanted ter see 'im wabble er little.” Judge Broyles valued her fun at $5.75. Ola couldn't pay and went to the stockade. M’NAUGHTON’S LAST FIGHT FOR LIFE LOST; SLAYER MUST HANG Dr. W. J. McNaughton, the Emanuel county slayer, confined in the Savannah jail under death sentence for the poison ing of Fred Flanders, of Swainsboro, has lost his last fight in the courts. The supreme court, today denied the poisoner’s last appeal on extraordinary motion made by his attorneys when the supreme court of the United States had refused to set aside the verdict of the trial court. This means Judge Rollins will go to Savannah and re-sentence Mc- Naughton to be hanged. Upon new evidence said to have been unearthed by attorneys for the defense hangs the fate of Mrs. Mattie Flanders, widow of the slain man, indicted with McNaughton for complicity in the crime. The woman's trial has been delayed pend ing the various attempts McNaughton's lawyers have made to obtain a new trial. McGEHEE ANNOUNCEMENT EXPECTED BY NEXT WEEK TALBOTTON. GA.. July 11.—J. H.

MO., July 11. -That football as played in the United States Is a "rude game" and really is “nothing but a fight,” is the statement of J. M. Rodd, of London. England, who is vis iting here. Mr. Rodd was graduated from King's college, of London. 11. i studying educational conditions in America. "Why. the game of football," lie said, "is nothing but a fight, you know, as you play it here. I can't understand how these men play such a game with the determination of injuring the other fellow. "Baseball is a more a game of science. But those fellows with the spikes slid" into a fellow. Horrid to think of. don't you know." SOUTH GEORGIA THIEVES STEALING DENTISTS’ GOLD VALDOSTA, GA.. July 11.—Thieves who are specializing on dental offices are evidently malting a round of the towns in this section. The offices of Dr. L. C. Holtzendorff. Dr. ('. Whitting ton, Dr. F. R.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN’ AND NEWS, THURSDAY, JUTA’ 11. 1912. LORIMER FIGHTS TD RETAIN SEAT To Oust Him Would Be Mock ery to Justice, He Tells Colleagues. WASHINGTON. Julv 11.—Senator William Lorimer spoke in the senate this afternoon in defense of his seat tn the fight to oust him on the ground of corrupt election. The senator spoke with great fervor and earnestness. He said it was in the power of the senate, subject to no review, to deny him a seat upon the most, trivial pretext. But he would show by the evidence that not one single vote cast for him was improper ly cast. To deny him a seat, he declar ed, under the circumstances would be a travesty upon jurisprudence and a mockery of justice; it would show that the senate had decided to follow the red flag of anarchy and adopt the re call advocated by Theodore Roosevelt, the arch champion of the destruction of the American constitution. Senator Lorimer charged that a newspaper conspiracy existed in Chica go to drive him out of public life, and said that if there was a prosecuting at torney In Cook county who would do his duty, the newspaper trust conspir ators would be in the penitentiary. These conspirators, he charged to be Victor F. Lawson, owner of The Daily News, and owners of The Record-Her ald and The Chicago Tribune. He then proceeded to show how these newspa pers and Lawson were “looting” the public treasury of the country out of hundreds of thousands of dollars an nually and that because he had op posed them they had conspired to drive him from public life.

A strike of New Bedford cotton weavers is expected Monday, unless manufactur ers abolish the (lining systems. Rumors are that Pell has not onlv sold out longs, but has gone short 100,000 bales.

Cordill is out with a bullish report on Mississippi. At the close of yesterday's session. Riordan and Pell were credited with sell ing about 25.000 bales.

Indications are for clearing weather certain today. Govern ment forecast likely to say fair in Louis iana. Mississippi and Alabama. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Nowadays it is merely a matter of point of view. The bear says, “Never mind; time will bring revenges." The bull says. "Time is now bringing revenges." In other words, the low price man sticks to his belief that the market was on the right road until the middle of December, and has been on the wrong road ever since, and the high price man is more than ever convinced that the market was on the wrong road until the middle of December, and has been on the right road ever since. Meanwhile, October has touched 12.50. a price for new crops not anticipated until a few weeks ago. High price men claim that the crop promise is shrinking, but that the probable require ment is not; that the world, so far from being over-supplied, still needs cotton, in spite of the 15,000,000 bales produced last year. Low price men can not get awav from the apparent fact that a crop of 14.- 000,000 bales this year would bring the total for the two years to 30,000,000 bales, which seemingly would create a surplus big enough to make the prices of recent famine years look large indeed. They ex plain current strength on the grountl that thousands of outsiders have taken the long side, thereby permitting the big longs to liquidate in volume without breaking the market.

July 11.—Better Liver pool cables than expected caused our market on the opening to show a net gain in prices of 8 to 13 points. The hot winds reported in Texas also gave the market support. Within ten minutes after the opening, heavy realizing, combined with profit by some big traders who bought early in the week began to cast large orders upon the market, which had a depressing effect, causing a downward trend, with prices 3 to 8 points below the first quotations. Futures and spots in Liverpool steady and in good demand. The late weather report predicted more favorable conditions over tlie belt, which caused a feeling of unrest among the longs, and a heavy selling wave was re newed from that of the opening, which was natural that some leading bulls sold freely taking profit Prices seemed rest less and made a further decline, with ’October displaying the less strength.

HAYWARD CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, July 11.— Liverpool came in about 5 points higher than due on futures, and quoted spots 12 points higher; sales. 14,000 bales. The market, however, weakened sharply in the, last hour. The weather map shows Improved conditions: part cloudy to fair In the belt: in the eastern half less and more isolated rains; temperatures in the west rather lower, except in the Fort Worth district. Fear of excessive heat and hot winds groundless. Strong indications for clear ing weather today east of the Mississippi river. A crop inspector traveling for a large house from Montgomery says: "From Mobile to Montgomery, with the exception of a strip of prairie land of ten miles, crop looks well; knee to waist high; full of blooms: clean, growing fields: with a week of fine weather would be In perfect fit.” First trades here were at an advance of about seven points, but selling was stronger than usual from the start, prob ably on the strong indications for clearing weather east of the Mississippi river and continued favorable in the West. The market soon eased and October advanced to 12.34. Comparisons of mill takings in tomorrow’s visible are expected very bullish, as takings for the week last yea v were 111.000. but in 1910 they are 171.000. The Into-sight for 21,000. against 15,281 last year and 32,157 in 1910. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

NEW YORK, July 11.—Narrowness marked the stock market at the opening today, although the tone was steady. Reading sustained a loss of % on the first few sales, but later rallied and re covered part of the loss. United States Steel common was up ss. Pennsylvania and Steel preferred were unchanged. Southern Pacific and Erie each lost %. At the end of fifteen minutes a ma jority of the issues ranged above last night s closing Lehigh Valley opened % lower, but later made up this loss and advanced %. Trading was professional. The curb was irregular Offerings of Americans in London were light, and trading there was almost wholly profes sional. Prices in American securities ruled slightly higher. United States Steel failed' to respond to the statement of unfilled orders. Canadian Pacific in London rallied on the report of earnings for the first week In July. Good buying appeared In the late fore noon and fractional gains were noted In many of the leading issues. London ar bitrage brokers were heavy buyers of steel and of Amalgamated Copper and Union Pacific. Heaviness developed In steel common, the copper shares and. St. Paul late In the afternoon, causing fractional losses in those issues. They were brought to the lowest range they have occupied In a long while by the selling movement.
