SHIPS FROM ENGLAND
TO AVOID NEW YORK
BRITISH MAY FIGHT AMERICAN
MERGER BY OPERATING LINE
LIVERPOOL TO HALIFAX.

LONDON, July 22.-The house Of COM
mons committee to inquire into the steam
ship subsidies question was in session this
morning and examined Sir @. A. Drum
mond, of Montreal
Mr.. Drummond said he had arrived at
the conclusion from recent development
iof American shipping combines that the
land lines practically controlled the sit
uation and that ocean lines were merely
adjuncts.
At first sight 1t would appear that the
purchase of a number OF old British
steamers by the American combination
could be remedied by building new boats.
But he believed that If this was done By
a new organization 1t could be made UNI
profitable by the Americans. who, BY
means of through bills of lading from the
producing centers, could control freights
as well as a considerable portion OF the
passenger traffic.
He believed that the only hope Of escape
from the control of the American shipping
combine lay through Canada Therefore
he advocated a speedy up-to-date service
Of twenty-five knot steamers between
Great Britain and Halifax instead of New
York.
such a line ought to be subsidized to
the extent OF ESQ.,. 900 to 100000 yearly for
ten years. half payable by Great Britain
and half by Canada.

ing. 1t would be advantageous to both
countries TO cement the trade. between
Canada and Great Britain.
Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
told the committee that he did not favor
fostering trade by means of bounties. he
objected TO subsidies but attached the
greatest importance to Great Britain
owning a mercantile marine containing
vessels of great speed and favored postal
subventions for the encouragement there
of. Lord Beresford sugges ted that the
government might build "A knot liners and
allow the companies to work them. the
government sharing in the profits.
The conference of the colonial premiers
today also discussed steamship subsidies
from the double standpoint of the eco
nomical carriage of goods and combating
the subsidizing policy Of foreign gov
ernments. Nothing of definite charac-
ter. however was accomplished.

Large crowds went to the grounds by
the trolley cars, so that by the time the
exercises at the monument began the
countryside was a mass of sightseers.
General Clement A. Evans opened the ex-
ercises with an eloquent invocationa after
which Julius l.. Brown, the president of
the association, delivered an address. Ma
jor Joseph B. Cunning responded, and
music and a benediction completed the
exercises.
Immediately after the exercises the

some subscribers regarding goat raising
Answer: $50 acres of land fenced with
wire, with considerable underground in
the timber and good grass in the open
land, should, during the summer months,
maintain and fatten from 80 10 1000 goats.
II you can find market for common
goats, with the pasturage you have, it
will pay you 10 raise them on an extern
sive scale, as they are healthy animals,
can take care of themselves, breed rap
idly and require no expensive feeding.
1 should advise you to write to the Saw
tell Packing Company of Atlanta for
prices and demand, also for information
regarding demand at other markets. Mr..
Sawtell is fully posted and can give you
good advice as to markets, price, etc.
If you could gradually grade up your herd
TO Angoras, you would have no trouble in
disposing of the animals in any slaughter
market, as Angora goats readily sell as
mutton all over the country. If you
crossing them on your common stock, you
would in few years have a fine paying
business, The Angora is no more ex-
pensive to raise and pasture than the
common goat, but is far more valuable.

that Captain Abraham S. Beckham, quar-
termaster Of the United States transport
Logan, has treated his government with
contempt He has notified the Russian
embassy IN washington of the alleged
slight upon the government Of the car.
When the Logan arrived at Nagasah,
the United States consul notified Captain
Beckham that three men had deserted
from a Russian warship and that they
might make an attempt to reach the UNI
ted States.
The troops OF the transport obtained
shore leave, and after they had embarked
and the ship was about 70 SAIL the Rus

demanded of Captain Beckham the priv
lege Of searching the Logan.
mo man will be allowed TO search this
vessel" Captain Beckham is said to have
replied. The Russian consul insisted That
he had the right to search the ship for
the men and when Captain Beckham again
refused the consul declared that he would
bring the matter to the attention Of his
government.
After being two days out from Nagasad
three Russian stowaways attired in the

COTTON SALE
OF ITS KIND EVER MADE

bales were put up with ties of extra
weight. The large bales forming the pres
ent lot are encircled by wire ties of great
strength, and heavy bagg1ng. The seven
wires used on each of these bales weigh
one pound each. The six bands and their
buckles with which the heavy bales were
formerly put up, weighed three and half
pounds each. Such ties, with the bagging
weigh about 50 pounds, while the tees and
bagging used in putting up the present
lot of bales weigh about 40 pounds. This
is only about IL pounds more than the
bagging and ties of an ordinary bale.
The bales of the consignment in question
are so large that the classers and mark
ers, unless very tall, would be hidden be-
tween the rows of bales. In weight the
consignment represents about 100000
pounds, and in money about 100000.
The only other lists of cotton sold here
that are, known to have compared in the
number of bales with the present lot were
two. First, there was one sold by Fellows
& Co., numbering $500 bales. with an aver
age Of AGO pounds. The consignment was
sold before the war. Another was sold by
Knoop, Frerichs & CO., since the war. 1t
numbered 4500 bales, and had an average
weight of 4S0 pounds.

THINKS CHARTER LAWS
SHOULD BE UNIFORM

Secretary of State Phil Cook is strongly
of the opinion that there should be a
uniform law in Georgia regulating the
method Of chartering corporations. Under
the present law there are three different
methods of securing charters the office
of secretary of state, the superior courts
and the general assembly.
AS a result, there is no way in which a
record of the charters granted can be
kept and at present there is much confu-
sion. There is no way by which informa-
ton concerning corporations can be easily
obtained. and therefore Mr.. Cook suggests
that all charters should be Issued from
one place and that a proper record Of
them should be kept.
Speaking of the matter yesterday, Sec
rotary of State Cook said:
Under our law private companies Of
every character, except railroad, banking
insurance, canal, navigation, telegraph
and express companies, are Incorporated
by the superior courts. I suggest that all
private companies organized for pecuniary
gain, such as manufacturing mining and
merchandise companies, should be char
tered by and record kept in this office
In nearly every eastern and western state
the plan suggested here Las long since been
adopted. In Pennsylvania, Iowa, Nebras-
ka and many other states all corporate
powers to private companies of whatever
character are granted alone by the secFe-
tary of state, and has not only given salts
faction, but yields no inconsiderable reve-
nue. to the state. The charter fees are
graduated according to the amount Of
capital employed. The necessity for this
change is suggested by the fact that dur
ing the past year many hundred letters
were received by this office asking for in
formation as to whether some such COM
pany, doing or proposing to do business
outside the state, is an incorporated COM
pany and where copy of it's charter may
be found. OF course, it is utterly impossi-
BILE for this office to furnish the desired in
formation"

NEW SUGGESTION
FOR HALL OF FAME


To the Editor Of The Journal;
In these hall of fame days 1t is. perhaps,
well to remember the ones who have been
of especial benefit 10 mankind, and II
would be a gracious thing for southwest
Georgia TO have her a little private hall
of fame and erect some kind of memorial
to the man who risked his money and
reputation in the search for pure artesian
water. While he is not yet dead, and we
hope will not be for many long years to
come, yet an ounce Of taffy Is worth a
pound of epitaphy, and southwest Georgia
should build a memorial to John p. Fort,
who bored the first artesian well in Geor-
gia.
This section has been transformed by
it's pure water from a death hole to
healthy country, and all because a gentle
man farmer and scholar became convinc-
ed that there was pure water here. He,
with his partner, risked and invested 5000
in the first artesian well close to Albany.
Some said he was fool, with more money
than sense. All, except few, looked on 1t
as a visionary undertaking. but results
justified the undertaking, and today there
are wells all over this country, In the
towns and on the farms OF course, the
cost Of boring for them is but fraction
of what the first cost. There is health
and rosy cheeks where formerly was chills
and sallow compilations. The lives that
these waters have saved no doubt run up
into the thousands. The increase IN wealth
by the influx Of settlers runs up into the
millions, and all because II has been dem
onstrated that white men can live and be
healthy here as anywhere on earth.
True, men would have discovered the
artesian waters in time, but they had not
done so, and the honor belongs TO Fort,
who proved that southwest Georgia had
as good water as anywhere, and all over
this section from 50 to 800 feet deep, under
the limestones runs as pure water as any
county on the globe can lay claim to. The
service of Fort to his section should not
be forgotten. c. H. BEAZLEY.

termine Just what the trouble is. 1t may
be rheumatism, whirlbone of the hips or
the trouble may be in the hook joint.
The only remedy I could advise would be
to battle the shoulders, hips and legs in
cold water daily and let the mule have
perfect rest, leading him around little
daily for exercise.
HOLDING COTTON.

mad and enjoy reading your communica-

ket as fast as they gather it. We once
had a meeting of the farmers in Thorn
aston a year ago. Please send some litera-
ture to my address,. I WI see If we can
not get organized on that line. We are
very dry in this county. Crops have

operation in marketing the next crop Of
cotton I gladly mail all the literature
necessary and trust that farmers in all the
cotton growing counties of the state will
eventually become strongly organized and
cooperate with one another in the sale
of their money crops. 1t is the only help
for the future.
