. The farmers oi tie South made grat
" ifying progress in developing rural
telephone systems during the past
year, according to reports of the
Southern Bell Telephone company
covering the seven states in which it
operatese. » On December 31, 1911,
there were 29,537 farmers’ telephones
connected with exchanges and toll
stations of the Bell system in these
states. Of these telephones 7,775
were added during the year 1811, an
increase of 30 per cent.'over the year
1910. :
Joseph M. Brown was inaugurated
governor of Georgia for the second
time. For the first time in almost a
quarter of a century the general as
sembly met in special session for the
purpose of canvassing returns from
an election for governor and to in
augurate this official. Consolidation
of the recent election returns show
ed that Governor Brown received 28,
852 votes for governor, as against 300
for A..M. Castleberry, the Socialist
candidate.
Machine politics won a sweeping
victory in the city of New Orleans in
the Democratic primary election, and
returns: :from the country - parishes
sliowed ‘that John 'T."Michel, the ad
“ministration candidate for governor,
had a commanding lead over his two
opponents. The: work of the adminis
tration of Gov. Jared Y. Sanders in
increasing the price of saloon license
and the ridding of New Orleans of
racing told against him in his cam
paign for the nomination for the Unit
ed States senatorial seat now held by
Senator Thornton. The returns indi
cated that he would have to run over
with Congressman Broussard. . }
The house of representaives of the
South Carelina legislature adopted the
report of the judiciary committee rec-.
ommending that most of Governor
Blease's veto message on the so-call
ed libel bill be expunged from the
journal of the house. The vote to ex
punge the portions of message re
flecting on the integrity of the press
of the state was 86 to 26. This is
said so be the first time that any por
tion of a governor's-message has been
expunged. .

Although the work of the Euro
pean ‘diplomatic - chancelleries " has
been prosecuted actively in Constan
tinople, and Rome during. the past
few days in an attempt to find a
way, to peace between Italy and Tur
key, no-basis ‘has-yet been-found. In
. reply to suggestions from various
embassies, Turkey answers that the
powers, if they want peace, should
induce+ltaly to make concessions, as
Turkey camnot accept the spoliation
she has suffered without .redress
" Rome, on thé other. hand, responds
to the hints of the foreign .chancel
leries that the only remedy for the
present situation is that pressure be
put by the powers on the porte. The
representatives of the powers de
clare that if pressure were brought
to bear on the porte through the am
bassadors and the porte should re
sist—as everything appears to indi
cate would be the case—either the
.powers would have to withdraw and
suffer humiliation or have recourse
to, coercion.

York financier, might be induced to
finance Governor Wilson’s campaign,
Col. Henry Watterson : made public
the correspondence that has recent
ly passed betweem himself and Sen
ator Tillman. Recently Colonel Wat
terson stated that he would not no
tice the suggestion that Ryan’s namg:
was at the bottom of the Harvey-Wil

"Friends of the administration were
ssurprised at the announcement that
Governor Hadley of Missouri had
come out in support of the nomina
tion of Colonel Roosevelt. Governor
Hadley’s support had been counted
upon by political advisers of Presi

ington several weeks ago it was an
‘ nounced that he had practically pledg
'ed himself to support Taft.
“] am for Taft as strong as a man
can be,” declared Postmaster General
Hitchcock at the white house. “I did
not realize until a day or two ago
how far those stories about my alleg
ed differences with the president had |
gone. 1 probably shall have some
thing to say on the subject.” Mr.

that his loyalty had been questioned.

‘ELOY: AIFARO, EX-PRESIDENT OF
: EGUADOR,' AMONG THOSE
' .PUT TO DEATH.
VICTIMS ALL PROMINENT
Drastic Measure 1s Taken by Those
Who Were Opposed ‘to Revo
lution in Ecuador.
' Guayaquil, Ecuador.—An infuriated
mob broke into the Quito penitgn
tiary in spite of a double guard and
lynched Gens. Elrcy Alfaro, Flavio
Alfaro, Medardo Alfaro, Ulpiano
Paez and Manuel Serrano, all prom
inent revolutionists.
With the putting to death of Gen.
Eloy Alfaro, ex-president of Ecuador;
his brother, Gen. Flavio Alfaro, ex
minister of war and commander-in
chief of the revolutionary - forces;
Gen. Medardo Alfaro, who is believ
ed to have been a brother of the two
other Alfaros, and Gens. Paez and
Manuel Serrano, the leading lights
in Ecuador’s latest revolution have
been snuffed out. This revolution,
although it had been a long time
brewing, began in reality a few days
following the sudden death on De
cember 22 last of President Emilio
Estrada. & :
The first of the drastic measures
taken by those who opposed the rev
olution was carried into effect at
Guayaquil when Gen. Pedro Montero,
who was proclaimed president by
the troops after the death of Estrada,
was shot and. beheaded by a mob,
which, later, burned his body. The
shooting of Montero took place in
the court room where the general
had just been tried by courtmartial
and sentenced to sixteen years’ im
prisonment for his connection with
the. revolt. The people, evidently an
gered at what they considered a too
light sentence, rushed into the court
room, and, after riddling Montero’s
body with bullets,, dragged it into
the open. They they -decapitatted it,
built a bonfire and threw into the
flames the torso and head of the man
who once was a populdar hero in’ Ec
uador.
Eloy Alfaro and Generals Paez and
Montero were captured January 22 at
Guayaquil when government troops
under Gen. Leonidas Plaza forced the
revolutionists who held Guayaquil to
capitulate. Flavio Alfaro had been
wounded in a’' battle a few days be
fore the fall of Guayaquil. Madero
Alfaro was captured January 25 as
he arrived at Guayaquil on board a
steamer with a body of rebel troops.
' GARDEN WORK FOR CHILDREN
Relief Urged Before Child Labor Com
mittee Convention.
Louisville, Ky.—Purposeful labor
in connection with their school was
urged for children relieved of grind
iing Jabor before the final session of
Ithe eighth annual conference of the
inational child labor committee by P.
{P. Claxton, United States commis
sioner of education, For the mill
towns of the South.he outlined a plan
|already worked out to some degree
'whereby the children of the factory
,employees should contribute to the
support of the family by gardening.
\ Teachers should be competent to in
struct in agriculture and animal in
dustry, he, declared, and should be
engaged- for: the’ year through, the
winter schoolroom work to be grad
ually lessened as the time for putting
in the gardens approached, until the
work out of doors, under supervision,
should use all of the child's working
day., s
There is ‘plenty of land in’or :medr.
all these towns, he said, the project
is thoroughly feasible, and, he assert
ed, under the least favorable condi
tions the child gardener, doing what
he .would enjoy doing, could produce
toward' the support of himself ‘and
the family, at least’ as much as now,
when he worksr long hours in the
mills and destroys his health and:
future usefulness. For other indus
trial sections of theé country the same
principle, he thought, could be work
ed out along other lines. ke

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way to Get Rid of Them, and
Occasion Was Made a Good °
- .- .Object Lesson. s
A ramshackle building in Winston-
Salem was recently burned at the re
quest of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league, because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be properly fumigated. -
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour of destruction and giving rea
sons for the burning were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: “Within the
past 15 months two men who sold
fruit, etc.,, here have died of tuber
culosis, but unconsciously left millions
of tuberculosis germs by careless
spitting. The building is so open that
it cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means of disinfect
ing is by fire.” |
At the appointed hour, while mil
lions of tuberculosis germs were be
ing burned, 5,000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed to the crowd looking on.
