4 DIAZ INSURGENTS TRAP FEDEHALS Mexican Army Surrounded by Rebels of Double Number at Vera Cruz. MEXICO CITY, Oct. 21.—General Beltram. the Mexican federal com mander, walked Into a rebel trap to day when he made an early attack upon the city of Vera Cruz and is now sur rounded by insurgent forces, who threaten to crush his entire command of 2,500 men. Two thousand insurgents, under Gen eral Aguilar and Genera! Llave, have Beltram’s government forces surround ed and the federal commander will have to cut his way through the rebel lines unless he wants to give battle to an army twice the size of his own. After firing a few shells into the sub urbs of Vera Cruz, Beltram discovered his predicament today and is now en deavoring to find away to retreat. The United States cruiser Des Moines and a German liner are in the harbor to protect foreign interests. Captain Chas. F. Hughes, of the Des Moines, has been informed by General Diaz that the in surgents would not molest foreigners. Protection For Foreigners, Dias has Issued a proclamation to his rebel soldiers not to Interfere with Americans or other foreigners, nor to Injure property owned by foreigners. Rebels seizing armaments or provisions are expected to pay full value for them. President Madero Is trying to raise an army of 10,000 men to defend this city. The situation is critical here. An attack from the 3,000 Zapatista, who are gathered west and south of the capital, Is believed imminent. One report that was current today was that Pascual Orozco, Jr., former rebel commander in the north, had come south to help lead an attack upon this city. Mews that the Twenty-first battalion, stationed on the island of Ulua, In the harbor at Vera Crus, had gone over to the Dlaa cause, was expected. The loy alty of this battalion had been In ques tion since Diaz raised his standard at Vera Crux. Mexico City got little sleep last night. Rumors of the most disquieting nature were circulated, keeping the people In a ferment. Bands of students paraded the streets, most of the night carrying aloft pictures of Porlfiro Diaz A strong guard of rurales patrolled the streets and another detachment was placed upon the grounds of the national palace.

Secretary of State Philip Cook is prouder of nothing in his office than he is of an old-fashioned picture of an old fashioned genth - k /-a ■■ man, who for the unprecedented term of 44 years, was secretary of state for Georgia. The pic t u re hangs just back of the present secre tary’s chair, and it is more or less faded with age, but It shows, nev ertheless, the rug ged lines and strong face of old Nathan Barnett, a Georgian of the ancient regime, and an official for many years with- out fear and without reproach. When Nathan Barnett was elected secretary of state that office was filled by the legislature, and not by the vote of the people, as has been the case since the adoption of the constitution of 1877. When Barnett was first elected, the capitol was In Milledgeville, and At lanta was not even on the map. Barnett served through the war—un der the father of the present governor, Joseph E. Brown—but went out In Re construction days, only to come back triumphantly after the "carpetbaggers” had been run back to their lairs up North. When old Nathan Barnett left the secretary of state’s office, just after the war, he carried wdth him the great seal of the state. He kept It, too, until after Reconstruction days, and when he came back Into office he brought that seal with him—and It Is the great seal In use today.. Some histories have said that Gov ernor Jenkins took away and hid for a time the great seal of the state of Geor gia. but that is a mistake—lt was the executive seal that Governor Jenkins had, which Is a very different article. Nathan Barnett died in office—he was more than 90 when he passed away —and before he closed his eyes forever he asked Governor John B, (Jordon to appoint as his successor the present secretary's father. General Philip Cook, as a personal favor to the then dying secretary. Genera) Cook was an old man when the appointment was tendered him, and was Inclined to turn it down, but when Governor Gordon told him all the cir cumstances of the case, he agreed t> accept, and served for some time after his appointment. Georgia has had fewer men to occupy the office of secretary of state than any other office under the constitution. Comptroilei General William A. Wright thinks it speaks well for the new insurance law of Georgia that practically every provision of it has been recommended to the West Vir ginia legislature by the state auditor for enactment Into law In that state. The new insurance law is working nicely in Georgia, and both the comp troller and the deputy Insurance com missioner think It will work a revolu tionary change for the better in loen methods of life insurance. Th* Georgia legislature has a curious way of enacting purely local legislation now and then under the guise of a gen eral measure—that is, as they call It in legislative circles, a general bill with a local application. This method of effecting legislation is not always creditable to the general assembly, moreover, and frequently is of questionable constitutionality, so many lawyers think. From out the last legislative acts, for instance, which were published a few days ago, this scintillating gem is culled: Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by authority of same, that in cities having a popu lation of not less than three thou sand five hundred and fifty inhabi tants. and not more than three thousand five hundred and fifty two. according to the last census of the United States, the city tax as sessors shall not be permitted to value and assess for city taxation their own property, but the mayor and council shall have power and authority to value and assess for city taxation such property of such tax assessors. That’s pretty funny, in away, and if you will read it over a second time, carefully, the humor of it surely will occur to you. Il requires, for Instance, very little Sherlock Holmesing in the big census book to discover that the one town in Georgia that possibly may be affected by this “general” legislation is dear old Cedartown, in Polk county. It is splitting the splits pretty ac curately to hold the application of this bill down to towns “of not less than 3,550 and not more than 3.552—a differ ence of 2 isn't much of a difference! There is a doubt that this law is con- Fortunes in Faces.

And there is a lot more legislation of the same sort on the statute books, moreover, that possibly ought not to be there. United States Senator Hoke Smith is very optimistic with respect to the Democratic outlook. He believes that Wilson is to win, hands down, and that he Is to make a great president, moreover. The senator has been working in the West, so far, but a few days ago he was called East, and left for Washington yesterday. After a day or so In the na tional capital, looking after some legis lative matters, ne will go to New York city, where a program will be given him that will keep him busy up to and ac tually including November s—election5 —election day. Senator Smith has devoted much of hts time to speaking In states where there Is a prospect of electing Demo cratic senators to replace Republicans. He feels the great necessity of having a congress to back up President Wilson, and wherever he has been able he has put In some licks for Democratic sena torial aspirants. “I think,” said the senator, “that we shall control the senate from the very beginning of Wilson’s administration. If so, we shall have, for the first time In many years, a real Democratic admin istration, from start to finish. It will be difficult to enact the legislation we have in mind unless we do give the president a congress of a faith similar to his own. I hope I may have been able to help that along In a way—cer tainly I have had it very much in mind as I journeyed through the West, "I shall not return to Atlanta until election day—in the meantime, I shall be going all the time, as hard as I can.” GEORGIA FERTILIZER MEN IN CONVENTION TUESDAY MACON, GA., Oct. 21.—Fertilizer men from all parts of the state will attend the annual convention of the Georgia Fertilizer Mixers association, which meets here tomorrow.

Smith that the miracles of the Bible were not ab normal manifestations of God s super natural power, but simply the results of the states of mind of the people who witnessed them. Judge Smith deliv ered a lecture yesterday afternoon at the Lyric theater before an audience of several thousand persons. Judge Smith declared that the secret of divine healing, lost for eighteen cen turies, had been found again by Mrs. Eddy and by her transmitted to the church she had founded.

Calomel was for years the only known medicine that would stimulate the liver. .But calomel is often danger ous, and people are not to be blamed for being afraid of It. Within the last few years many med icines have been put out to be used In stead of calomel, but' their effect is on the bowels—not on the liver. All At lanta druggists say that the only real liver medicine to actually take the place of calomel is Dodson's Liver Tone, a mild, harmless, vegetable liquid that is recommended to take the place of calomel and which givbs prompt re lief in cases of constipation, biliousness and sluggish liver. So confident are Atlanta druggists that they give their personal guaran tee with every 50-cent bottle of Dod son’s Liver Tone. You can be sure that you are getting Dodson’s by ask ing at these stores if they are giving you the medicine they personally guar antee to refund money on if unsatis factory. ;DALTON FOLK RAISE FUND TO PAY JUDGEFITE’S FINE DALTON, GA., Oct. 21.—Despite Judge Fite’s statement that he would pay his own fin* of S6OO to the court of appeals, a petition was circulated here Saturday In order to raise money to help pay the fine, and a considerable sum was pledged by friends of Judge Fite.

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS Here Are All the Rich Velvets, Corduroys and Plushes So Prominent in the Fashions This Fall We intend that this silk department shall reflect the fash ions fully and accurately as they are brought out in Paris and in New York. That is why so much importance is given right now to the rich and lustrous velvets, plushes and corduroys. For this is their day! Many costumes from Paris are entirely of velvet, others of velvet and charmeuse, and for evening wraps, velvets and plushes seem to hold entire dominion. And the velvets are not just the plain velvets that you have always known. The wonderful weavers of France have added richness to richness and the result is two-toned velvets, corded velvets, plushes of a weight and suppleness that lends itself to soft folds and drapings. Colors, too, are often those that these fabrics in days gone by never knew. It is an interesting display—one to enjoy—one we would have you enjoy—-even if you do not consider purchasing. Here are some of the wanted ones: Chiffon Velvets, 40 inches wide, in black and colors, in cluding shades of purple, brown, blue and taupe, priced at $5 and $5.50 a yard. Pompadour Velvets, a new velvet that is corded and that shows two colors—a splendid variety of these in many color combinations, 40 inches wide, $5 a yard. Black Velvets, 40 inches wide; a rare display of these ranging in price from $3.50 to $9 a yard. Silk Plushes, 40 inches wide, in such shades as taupe, wis taria, navy and Copenhagen, at $7.50 a yard. Corduroys for suits and dresses, imported, which accounts for their fine lustre. In brown, navy, green, garnet, gray, black and white at $1.50 a yard. Velveteens, a full color card, showing many shadings of the wanted colors, priced at $1 to $1.50 a yard. Many of the Newly Arrived Hats Are in Taupe Tomorrow you may see the use of the taupe shade in mil linery as it is new in New York. It is a soft and very charming shade, one that is very prom inent throughout the fashions of this season. But these hats that we invite you to see tomorrow are not merely taupe hats, they are taupe hats from the Estelle Mershon shop of 20 East 46th Street, New York—and they have more than their color to make them beautiful. They have all the newness and smartness of line and trim ming that the women of Atlanta are coming to associate with hats from this unusual little shop. Here is one, a medium-long shape, of taupe plush with two pale blue ostrich feathers gracefully poised at the side. Here is one, a rather large hat, of taupe plush, with brim upturned at the side and trimmed with two-toned ostrich plumes, the shades of which are pink and lavender. You will notice, too. the prominence of two-toned plumes—-they may be seen here in several exquisite combinations. Another taupe hat is a chic, jaunty little shape that pulls well down over the head and with the back crown flaring in tam o’shanter style. But while we are mentioning taupe, we are neglecting beautiful hats of purple, of brown, and of black and white com binations, all of which, showing so many new and interesting little quirks of shape and trimming, it is hardly necessary to tell you that the expressman just brought. And what do all these new hats here mean? I hat you will find here the one most becoming to you! * ChamberlinJohnsoipDußose Company SKUNK TRAPPER SUES CITY FOR DRIVING AWAY GAME POUGHKEEPSIE, N.
