El Paso, Texas. March 30 —The dove
of peace may be hovering over the bor
der. but the sale of ammunition and
arms to the revolutionists continues
as briskly as wlrin the insurgents were
encamped across from El Paso.
The sales are not made in quanti-
E ties, but the retail trade in rifles and
ammunition at the local hardware
and arms stores continues active, the
dealers say.
Whether one of the Maderos is
coming here to talk peace is not cer
tain. Gonzalas Garza, provisional
secretary of state, declares that Fran
cisco I Madero, Sr., has nothing to do
with the war, and that his coining
here would not necessarily mean a
peace conference. Francisco I Ma
dero and the men in the field are the
only persons who can settle the war.
he said.
Whether he will come here is not
known, but some of his staff officers
have been dropping in. giving color
to reports that Madero himself soon
will arrive. This is considered im
probable unless by agreement with
the United States, for a warrant is
out in El Paso for his arrest on a
charge of inciting a revolution against
a friendly nation.

DALTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1911.
——
“Your’e Another” Says
Major Joseph Bogle
Major Joseph Bogle, author of
“Some Recollections of the Civil
War,” has received a letter from
Rev. Dt. W. H. Darnell, to whom he
sent a copy of his work, which speaks
for itself. Dr. Darnell's letter is as
follows:
“Centre. Ala., March 30. 1911.
Hon. Joseph Bogle,
“Dear Joe:—The pamphlet, ‘Some
Recollections of the Civil War,’ came
last week just as 1 was leaving for
an appointment with a little flock in
Chattooga county. An old comrade’s
best thanks for your kindness. 1 have
written on the ‘lntroductory’ page
the following (which I send to you) :
“ ‘To Joseph Bogle, Confederate
Veteran, author of this pamphlet.
After my wife’s death, for my daugh
ter Mary, wife of J. L. Savage.
“ ‘He heard the Southland's call
And ventured life and all,
In war’s uncertain fate;
A true man’s faithful heart,
That sought a true man’s part,
For home and church and state.
GOVERNMENT WILL I
INVITE PROPOSALS
an<l small tracts or fan<T in the Appa
lachian and White mountain regions
will be considered for purchase by
the United States to be turned into
watersheds. Lands held up to ob
tain exhorbant prices it is stated,
will not be considered.
In describing the class of lands
wanted, the circular says that those
containing timber, the government
will purchase both the land and the
timber, or with timber reserved to
the owner, cut over or culled lands,
brush or burned lands not bearing
merchantable timber and abandoned
farm lands and also mineral lands, in
which the owner may reserve the right
to remove the deposits.
Good agricultural land however, will
not be considered.
Areas within which proposals will
be invited have been divided as fol
lows.
White Mountain area, New Hamp
shire and Maine; Youghlogheny area.
Maryland; Patomic area, Virginia
and West Virginia; Monongahela
area, West Virginia; Massanutten
mountain and Natural Bridge areas,
Virginia; White Top area, Tennessee
and Virginia; Yadkin and Mount
Mitchell areas, North Carolina; Smo
ky mountain and Nantahala areas,
North Carolina and Tennessee; Pis
gah area, North Carolina, and Savan
nah area, Georgia and South Carolina.
Waycross Ga., March 31 —The board
of trade of Waycross has instituted
a “post card day’’ for Georgia, and
is asking the co-operation of every
organization in the state, with the
view of getting Georgia views in as
many homes of prospective homeseek
ers as possible. The idea advanced
by the Waycross organization is for
every commercial organization in
Georgia to agree to send out postals
of their respective sections on May
5. The co-operation of industrial de
partments of railroads has been so
licited. It has been estimated that
a state working together in this man
ner can send in one day at least a
million post cards, covering every
state in the union.
Through all that cloudy day,
In duty’s faithful way,
The Soutldand’s son and friend;
With soul that faltered not,
He served in every lot,
A true man to the end.
Old age is on him now,
The peacefid, silvered brow,
And in the long way trod;
Bet I -r than royal crown,
The "ood man's true renown.
Still serving man and God.
“ *U*rch 30, 1911. W. 11. Darnell.’
“Blessings on you and yours; Grace
mercy and peace.
“Your friend and comrade,
“W. H. DARNELL.”
To this letter Major Bogle sent the
following reply today:
“Rev. W. H. Darnell:
“My dear Sir and Bro.: —Words
fail mtf to express my apreciation of
the beautiful sentiments expressed in
your letter. I think they apply much
more to yourself, than to me. so
I can only say as boys say to each
other.* You ’re another. ’
With kindest regards and best
wishes, Your old time comrade,
“JOS. BOGLE.”

1 > return to Washington within the
next eiglP or H days to attend the
extra session of congress, which con
venes on April 4.
“My strength is coming back to
me,” said the senator Thursday af
ternoon in a telephone conversation
with a representative of The Consti
tution, “and within the next eight
or ten days I expect to be in condi
tion to make the trip. It will not be
necessary for me to be there right
away anyhow, as it will be two or
three weeks before the congress is
organized and gets down to busi
ness. ’ ’
That Senator Terrell will be in
proper condition, physically, to make
his race for election to the United
States senate before the legislature in
June, and that his recent attack of
illness will not interfere with his
candidacy at all, is the opinion of
Benjamin M. Blackburn, execuive sec
retary of Governor Brown and one of
the senator’s closest personal and po
litical friends.
Items From the Odd.
The United States gold dollar was
first coined in 1848.
Pianos were first manufactured in
this country in 1803, at Boston, Mass.
The Bank of the United States was
established in Philadelphia in 1791.
A metal holder for paint brushes
by which they may be attached at any
angle to the ends of poles to save
painters having to use ladders, has
been patented by an Illinoisian.
A floating sanitariam for consump
tives is planned in England, the idea
being to divert the patients’ minds
by change of scene, as it is moved
from one place to another.
By melting to gether an ounce each

ASPHALT PAVING
SDDN COMPLETE
CONTRACTORS EXPECT TO COM-
PLETE STREET PAVING WORK
WITHIN TEN DAYS.
With fair weather and no unavoid
able accidents, the West Construction
company expect to complete the street
paving work in Dalton within the
next ten days or two weeks. Tomor
row will probably end the laying of
the concrete work and the asphalt is
being laid just as fast as the con
crete work is allowe dto set suffici
ently.
The people are already realizing
the great benefit derived from the lay
ing of street paving, and when these
dry and dusty days roll around, fol
lowed by rainy, muddy conditions
they will realize it more than ever.

FOR CARRIERS
IF NOT OPPOSED BY PATRONS
OF POST OFFICE PETITION
MAY BE CIRCULATED FOR
CURTAILMENT OF CARRIERS’
WORK.
A movement to give the carriers
in the Dalton post office a full day’s
rest on Sunday is being talked of and
. should the people of Dalton show any
, disposition to co-operate with the post
office officials in the matter a peti
tion will be circulated in order to get
the sentiment of the patrons.
I At present the carriers report for
duty on Sunday and work from three
to five hours.
It is proposed that the delivery of
mail through the window be still car
ried on. but the time curtailed. The
box mail would be put up as usual.
The work that the carriers now do
in sorting out the mail for the first
Monday morning delivery would be
eliminated and the same work done
Monday morning, the carriers report
ing. if necessary a half hour earlier,
so that there would be no delay.
Should the idea be put into effect,
all box holders would secure their
mail as usual on Sunday morning.
In fact, the service, it is claimed,
would in no way be impaired so far
as the public is concerned, as every
one would have the opportunity to
get their letters.
