Dictating to Women.
Women, according to an edict in the
Chinese government, are to wear Eu
ropean hats, but otherwise retain their
customary dress, with certain modifica
tions. It is prophesied that there will
be revolt at the edict, because women
in China as elsewhere, have grown
weary of having men undertake to de
ride for them In matters of dress, mat
ters of food, matters of morals and
matters cf government.

It gives an Impressive idea of the
Immensity of the International trade

And there are certain modern freight
ers which transport a ton of cargo a
mile by burning half an ounce of
fuel, which means moving ten barrels
of flour a pile with a piece of coal

The little girl nodded.
“He writes stories, doesn’t he?"
Lowering her voice, the child re

“They’re not real stories; he just
makes them up himself.”

ANT-JAP CONTEST
ON UNITED STATES
CALIFORNIA EXECUTIVE SIGNS
ALIEN LAND BILL AND DIPLOMA
TIC BATTLE BEGINS
BECOMES LAW IN 90 DAYS
Both Governments Agree to Withhold
Correspondence From
the Public.
Sarcramento, Cal. —California’s alien
land bill became the law of the state
against protests of Japan and repres
entations of President Wilson and
his personal envoy. Secretary of
State Bryan, Governor Johnson signed
the bill and ninety days after the ad
journment of the legislature, or oil
August 10, the act will become opera
tive.
While the governor was signing the
bill, the steamship Korea was passing
in through the Golden gate, bearing ■
two distinguished Japanese, one a I
former pupil of President Wilson, on :
a mission of investigation.
Meanwhile, complications, national
and sectional, beset the bill. Over
shadowing all is the outcome of the
negotiations now In progress be
tween this country and Japan, which
has interpretted the act as discrimina
tory and offensive.
Within California itself the act has
encountered triple hostility, which may
delay its operation until November 1,
1911. Democrats opposed state legis
lation at this time, as a matter of
party regularity. Nevertheless, so
plain to them seems to be the demand
for the bill that, after exhausting all
parliamentary tactics, the senate gave
only one adverse Democratic vote and
the assembly ortly two.
Washington.—Secretary Bryan hand
ed Ambassador Chinda the reply of
the United States government to the
Japanese protest against the Califor
nia alien land legislation. The ambas
sador Immediately cabled it to Tokio.
No intimation as to the nature of the
reply was given out.
Upon learning through press dis
patches that Governor Johnson had
signed the Webb laua act. Secretary
Bryan telephoned Viscount Chinda and
invited him to come to the state de
partment to receive the reply which
he had been anxious awaiting since
the presentation of his own note, on
May 9.
When the answer had been deliv
ered. the secretary and the ambassa
dor conferred earnestly for an hour
regarding the general aspect of the
problem. Os course opinions expressed
were tentative, as for his part the am
bassador felt that he must be guided
entirely by the directions of the for
eign office at Tokio, and he could only
surmise what might be the attitude
of the officials at home. Meanwhile
it was understood that both the Jap
anese protest and the state depart
ment's answer would be withheld from
publication for the present at least,
TORPEDO STRIKES VESUVIUS
Dynamite Cruiser Launches Whitehead
Missile, But It Returns.
Newport, R. I—The torpedo boat
Vesuvius was struck by one of its own
torpedoes and was beached on Hope
Island, Narragansett Bay. when the
lives of those on board seemed imper
iled by the water which rushed in
through a hole astern.
The beaching of the Vesuvius was
safely accomplished by Chief Gunner
Thomas Smith, the commanding of
ficer. Besides the regular crew, fifty
seamen gunners were on board.
Later the Vesuvius worked herself
off the beach and proceeded to the tor
pedo station under her own steam.
The Vesuvius, which as a dynamite
cruiser, was famous as one of t^ first
vessels of the “new navy,” wm being
used for torpedo instruclMl^B Nar
ragansett Bay. As a pradtTce White
head torpedo left her side the mech
anism went awry in some manner not
yet determined. The torpedo turned
like a boomerang and crashed into
the Vesuvius astern below’ the water
line, gashing a two-inch hole. Ham
mocks, blankets and other material
were used in trying to patch up the
hole. But the Vesuvius began to set
tle astern and a call for help was sent
out by wireless.
Bridges Blamed for Floods.
Washington.—Artificial contraction
of waterways by bridges, causeways
and other structures so placed as to
make it impossible for the channels to
carry away the enormous amount of
water resulting from an unusually
heavy rainfall, was blamed for the
devastation wrought by the recent
Ohio floods in a preliminary report
filed by the commission of army en
gineers appointed by Secretary of
War Garrison to investigate the floods
and recommend preventative meas
ures.
LITTLE ITEMS OF GEORGIA CHIES
Columbus.—Griffin was selected as
the next meeting place at the closing
business session of the Cotton Manu
facturers' Association of Georgia here.
F. G. Gordon of Columbus, was re
elected president of the association,
and Harry L. Williams, also of Colum
bus, was again named secretary and
treasurer,
Barnesville. —The long drouth in
this section was broken by a fine
rain. The situation had become quite
serious with the farmers. Little cot
ton had come and in many places the
seed had rotted and replanting had to
be done. The rain fell slowly for
several hours and the land is thor
oughly wet. It has put the farmers
and others in fine humor,
Lyerly.—The farming situation in
this county is becoming serious, and
if there is not relief soon all growing
vegetation will be completely dried up
fr the want of moisture. There has
been but slight springles of rain in
this section since April 4, and seeds
that were planted in the early part of
last month have not yet come up and
it is feared that the crops will have to
be replanted, which w'ould cause the
i crops to be very late.
Gainesville.—The sum of $2,961 has
i been raised by subscription by com
mittees from the Gainesville Chamber
of ^Commerce, as a beginning of the
work for a greater Gainesville. It is
the plan of the organization to do the
work of a chamber of commerce in
systematic manner aand to this end
five committees of citizen business
men have been selected, having in
charge each a special department of
effort.
Waycross. —Ware county’s grand
jury takes rank as one of the most
progressive that has served at a tei in
of the superior court in years, and if
half of their recommendations are
adopted, some notable improvements
will be made in Ware county within
the next year. While a lot of inter
est Is taken In their recommendations
regarding the county board, more at
tention is being paid to their sugges
tions along the health-protection line
than usual.
Macon.—With the stormiest session
the bankers of Georgia have ever
known, made so by tthe discussion of
the proposed new state banking blil
and a fight waged against Attorney
Orville A. Park of Macon, general
counsel for the association, the twen
ty second annual convention of the
Georgia Bankers’ association came to
a close. The banking bill was en
dorsed, the election of Mr. Park was
declared unanimous when six
teen who stood by A. P. Coles of At
lanta, in his fight against the Macon
attorney, refused to vote.
Thomasville—Reports from through
out this county show that the cotton
Is improving by the showers that
have fallen which have been general
with the exception of the lower sec
tlon of the county. It was only the
cotton which had been re planted that
was in need of rain anyway as the
crops that were already up are said
to be In fine condition and the plant
beautifully clean and healthy. The
rains are helping the late plantings
and coupled with the present warm
weather the crop with no more back
set will soon be a good one.
Marietta. —Following the threats of
some weeks ago to drive out the ne
groes of the county, a negro tenant
house on the big farm of James T
Anderson was blown to “smitche
reens” by dynamite at 12:20 o'clock
in the morning. The occupant was
one Lewis, colored, who had received
notice last winter to leave the county.
He left and was gone some forty days,
returning about April 1. Dynamite
was placed on a piece of wood, pushed
under the house and fired by a fuse
some 2 1-2 feet long.
Americus —The first peaches of the
season have been displayed here, and
ten days hence the earlier varieties
will be quite plentiful, although the
crop yield from orchards in the
Americus territory will be disappoint
ing this year, the result of unpropiti
ous seasons and the fact that many
of the orchards have not been given
proper attention this year. The best
posted growers say the crop
will be about 50 per cent, of an aver
age, where the trees have been cared
for, but this is an exceptional yield.
Cordele. —Because he was not satis
fied with having one wife, as well as
two children, and came to Cordele and
claimed Miss Bessie Peterson as his
second bride, L. P. Mashburn, recent
ly of Dothan, Ala., is now in the toils
of the law at Perry. Fla., charged with
bigamy. Mashburn did not inform
wife No. 2 of the existence of wife
No. 1, and. of course, when they hap
pened to meet there was trouble brew
ing. After his marriage to Miss Pe
terson, Mashburn took her to the
Florida town. There he became seri
ously ill, and sent for his two chil
dren, who were living with parties
near Valdosta. The children came,
but to the consternation of the much
ly married man, wife No. 1 came with
them.
BALKAN WAR BEGAN IN 1663
Conflict of Races Started Long Ago,
Seems Destined Now to Be Fought
to a Finish.
An Italian newspaper reminds us
usefully that the Balkan war began
centuries ago. In the state archives
at Vienna is the declaration of war
sent by Sultan Mehemet IV. to Em- j
peror Leopold In 1682. “Be it known '
to you, the heir of the Caesars, to the
king of Poland, and to your allies
and omnipotent emperor of the east
and west, ... is on the point of
invading your paltry territories. We
shall bring 1,300,000 soldiers, on horse
and foot, to crush you utterly and lay
waste all your domains. We command
you to await our coming in our resi
dence in Vienna, where it is our in
tention to have you beheaded."
But the war was even then an old
story. The delightful writer who con
tributes “The Office Window" to the
London Daily Chronicle tells us that
while searching through some of the
earliest newspapers printed his eye
was continually diverted to news let
ters from the continent giving ac
counts of the unholy war which Tur
key was waging on Hungary and Aus
tria. Almost at random he copies the
following from the Newes of Septem
ber 17, 1633, a grim reminder that the
Turk has remained unchanged and
unchangeable for these 250 years at
least:
"Vienna, Sept. 6.—ln Austria every
Fifth Man is to bear Armes; and they
hope to raise 20,000 Men upon that
Levy to secure the Frontiers At this
Instant comes fresh Intelligence of 10,- ■
000 Turks, and as many Tartars, pass ;
ing the Waegh, and that they carry ;
all before them with Fire and Sword."
And again: “We hear that upon the i
third Instant the Enemy has beaten
our Foot by the River Waegh, and j
Possess’d himself of the narrow Pas- j
sages between the Hills, where he has
burnt divers Town and Villages, and
Massacred many Thousands of People,
striking off the heads of some, putting ’
others in Chains . . . and cutting
to pieces Young and Old without Dis
tinction or Mercy.”
Women Are Constantly Being Restored to
Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
“Worth mountains of gold,” says one woman. Another
says, “I would not give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound for all the other medicines for women in the
world.” Still another writes, “ I should like to have the
merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound thrown
on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering women could
read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills.* 1
We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo
tations taken from the letters we have received from grateful women
whose health has been restored and suffering banished by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound accomplished
such a universal success? Why has it lived and thrived and kept on
doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more
than 30 years ?
Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim
ply because there is no other medicine so good for womens ills.
Here are two letters that just came to the writer’s desk —only two
of thousands, but both tell a comforting story to every suffering wo
man who will read them —and be guided by them.
FROM MRS. D. H. BROWN.
lola, Kansas.—“ During the Change
of Life I was sick for two years. Be
fore I took your medicine I oould
not bear the weight of my clothes
and was bloated very badly. I doc
tored with three doctors but they
did me no good. They said nature
must have its way. My sister ad
vised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and I purchased
a bottle. Before it was gone the
bloating left me and 1 was not so
sore. I continued taking it until I
had taken 12 bottles. Now I am
stronger than I have be^n for years
and can ao all my work, even the
washing. Your medicine is worth
its weight in gold. I cannot praise
it enough. If more women would
take your medicine there would be
more"healthy women. You may use
this letter for the good of others.”—

The following story is one of John
Drew’s favorites:
A man lost his life in a great flood.
He was dead, but in the spirit world
he lived over and over again the ap
palling scenes and Incidents through
which he had just passed. It seemed
to him that be must talk It over with
some one.
He therefore approached an elderly
man and told him the story of how
I he died, giving a vivid word picture
and making a lurid tale. To his great
surprise, the old man showed little
Interest; in fact, he appeared to be
bored. At last, being rather annoyed
at such indifference, he asked the
reason.
“Don’t you know who I am?" asked
the other.
“Why, no, I don’t,” was the answer.
‘Tve only just arrived.”
“Well," said the other, ”1 am Noah.”
