OFFICE At ONCE
Many improvements Plan
ned for z. S. Betz Com
pany's Plant.
TO COST ABOUT $4,000
Building To Be Built for Use of Cleri-
cal Force to Relieve Congestion
in Other Departments.

The plant of the f. S. Betz company
which is already one of the largest
manufacturing concerns in the city, is
to be nearly doubled in size and in the
near future a large office building is to
be constructed on the Hoffman street
frontage that will in a measure relieve
the. congestion in the main building
where the office is now located.
The improvements already planned
will cost in the neighborhood of s40,
900 and will add greatly TO the ap-
pearance and effectiveness Of the local
plant
Already the enameling plant is in
the course OF construction and is TO
have 1900 square feet Of floor space.
The building OF this addition will per-
NIT the work Of enameling to be taken

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable Science
has proven catarrh to lie a constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional remedies. Halls Ca

While going over the ground with a
reporter, Mr. Betz pointed TO a little
shed made of brick which he said was
the exact counterpart of the shed in
which be first began the manufacture
of surgical instruments twelve years
ago.
He built the shed in the vicinity of
his new plant and is now able to point
to it with pride and show his friends
what a small beginning has led to the
big industry of which Hammond is
now so proud.
Since Mr.. Betz bought out several OF
his old Chicago competitors his bust
ness has been increasing at such a
remarkable rate that it is all he can do
to keep up with his orders.
The engagements nave been made
for the purpose of taking care of the
increased business. and it is expected
that when the plant is finally completed
along the lines that have been laid out
it will be the largest of its kind in the
world.

WILL EXHIBIT
NEW AIRSHIP


The skeleton IS forty feet lond and
constructed of specially tempered
steel tubing The propeller shaft is
also steel tubing. The propeller
which makes $50 revolutions. is in front
and pulls, instead of pushing the ma
chine like many do. In his private
car Mr.. Case carries all the material
necessary for the manufacture of gas.
WeIIman's chances good.
What is your opinion. Mr.. Case,
are Wellmans chances for sue
cess. in his attempt to find the north
pole by means of airshp?" the in
ventor was asked
Mr.. Wellman's chances are good
answered Mr. Case, unhesitatingly
He has left no opening for failure
as far as the construction of his ship
is concerned. I notice that he works
along the compressed air principle.
No. l did not get my idea from Well
man nor did he get his from me. I had
the problem solved in my own mind
before I ever heard of his plans and it
is possible that his were equally COM
plete a long time ago. The COM
pressed air principle was a great dis
covery in connection with the gas
bags The thing that inspires the
most hope in me for Wellman's sue
cess is his application of the drag
ging anchors. The wind will be
against him for some time and in
that event he let's down his dragging
anchro and goes with it altogether at
a very slow pace instead of using up
his energy In order to maintain the
place that he has anchored by a more
favorable wind"
What will be your next step in
order to put your ship to commercial
use?" Mr.. Case was asked.
Promptly he answered: II will stop
here. what I now want is the money
and after I have that. and I can get
il by exhibiting this machine. I will
build an entirely new machine that
will carry out new principles that
have studied. J. L. Case will some
day have a machine that will be en-
tirely under his will and it can be
used for commercial purposes too"

CANNOT CONVICT
OF POLYCAMY
Says Senator Dubois at Au-
rora Chautauqua Yes
terday.

Aurora. Ill. Aug. 1S.-"You cannot
convict the MormOns of polygamy. To
prove polygamy you must prove a sec
ond marriage. but a law against unlaw-
full cohabitation. If the enforcement
were in the hands of the federal au-
thorities. would put the leaders of the
Mormon church in the penitentiary
and this would destroy their political
power and destroy polygamy."
This remedy for Mormonism was ad-
vocated by United States Senator Du-
bois of Idaho in an address this after
noon before an audience of 5000 at the
Aurora Chatauqua. in discussing the
probability of the spreading of Mormon
political power TO all parts Of the Unit
ed States. Senator Dubois urged his
hearers to use their influence with the
Illinois representatives, in Congress to
secure an amendment OF the Constitu-
ton under which the federal govern
ment will have power to deal with the
evils of Mormonism and to prevent the
continuance of Polygamous marriages
among the Mormons.
Keep Marriages Secret.
Plural marriages among the Nor
mons are performed by high officials OF
that church in secret places, either in
their temples or in foreign countries,
and no record is kept of the plural mar
riages." continued the Senator.
Unlawful eohabitation can be prov
en- by circumstantial evidence the SUI
preme Court Of the United States hav-
ing defined unlawful cohabitation to be
the holding out TO the world. by a man.
of more than one woman as his wife
The leaders of the Mormon church ex-
ercise their political power in order to
protect themselves in their polygamy.
and when they found that they had to
&c TO the penitentiary or give up
polygamy they would give up polyg-
amy and with it their political power
would disappear.
Power Spreading Fast.
THE Mormons absolutely control
Utah now politically and a United
States senator, governor or congress
man cannot be elected in Idaho or wy
oming against the wishes of the Nor
mon church. They are a great balance
or power in Oregon and will soon con-
troll the senators in that state. They
are beginning to be very powerful in
Nevada Unless checked they will be-
come the balance Of power in the Sc
nate of the United States. They have
become an object of solieitude to the
great political parties and for the first
time In the history of the government
this Mormon and Polygamist question
Is becoming a question Of partisan
politics"

VILLAGE Swallowed up.

Reports from Zavidovic, Austria,
state that village near the River
Krivag, consisting of 80 houses, be
gan to sink quite suddenly one morn
ing recently. By degrees the whole
hill on which the village stood disap-
peared under the ground At the first
signs of the sinking the inhabitants
fed. The catastrophe is no doubt due
to volcanic action.

THE SENTIMENT THERE is CHAOTIC

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. IL
Gov. Charles NJ Floyd, of New Hamp-
shire, and his staff stopped in Wash
ington yesterday on their way home
from jamestown.
1T would not be fair to say that
the Republicans of New England
have yet made up their minds as to
whom they think should be the
standard bearer in the next national
campaign" said Gov. Floyd. I'VE
have among us men who urge the Sc
lection OF Taft, of Hughes, of Fair
banks, but public sentiment has not
crystalized. OF course, the politicians
probably have made up their minds
whom they will support, but in these
days it is the plain people who con-
troll things. They elect the delegates
and make the conventions, and this
class of people have not come to any
conclusion. The other day at James,
town, while | was in our state build
ing, l talked with probably 400 men
from different parts of New England,
and it was easy to see that no candi-
date among those who have been
suggested stood out with such prom
inence as to justify the claim that he
would have the support of our sec
ton of the country.
LAS a matter of fact, the people of
New England are thinking just now
more about the financial situation
than they are of politics. The finan-
cial situation is none too pleasant
to contemplate to persons who have
their savings tied up in investments
or in stocks Money is tight, inter-
ests are high, and stocks that were
paying good dividends have dwindled
in value. The people Of New England
have large sums of money invested
in these securities, and it is of more
importance to them to know that
more stable conditions will come
than to worry about who may or may
not obtain the Presidential prize
particularly in view of the fact that
convention time is some distance off.
What is the remedy? | do not know,
but I do know that those who have
money invested are fearful that they
may sustain losses and from causes
that are in no wise attributable to
their judgement as investors"

Shall They BE Fined!

Yesterday the state railroad COM
mission took up the question of re-
ciprocal demurrage with the repre-
sentative of the various railroads in
the state, these representatives hav-
ing been invited to present their
views as to why the railroads would
be injured by the adoption of such a
policy, and why reciprocal demur-
rage should not be adopted.
The railroads claiming that they
have always responded as quickly as
possible to the call for cars, and that
their failure to supply them when it
is a physical impossibility to do so
should not subject them to a fine.
They also claim that shipper
should be subject to demurrage
charges when he fails to load or I'M
load car promptly, because in the
very nature Of things he anticipates
the arrival or departure of the car,
and can conduct himself accordingly,
but that the reverse is true of rail-
roads.
1t may be several days before the
commission makes public its ruling

Arbitrations Still On.

1t is expected that the arbitration
of the assessments made by the
comptroller general against the Sou
thern, the Albania Great Southern,
and the Seaboard Air Line railroads
will be concluded next Friday.
The Southern, and the Alabama
Great Southern are represented by
Bland Ellis, of Macon, and Judge A
L. Miller of that city, will act as UNI
pire He will also act as umpire in
the Seaboard case should one be found
necessary. The Seaboard will be rep
resented by Attorney L. II. o. Mar
tin, of Elberton, and Railroad Com
missioner o. B. Stevens will represent
the state in all three cases.

Fixing Inter-line Rates.

General passenger agents of every
railroad in Georgia are here for the
purpose of tabulating and issuing a
table of inter-line rates to conform
to the rates prescribed by the rail-
road commission in circular 334, rel
atiye to passenger rates.
The issuance of their table will
prove a boon to the travelling pub
lie which up to this time has been
forced to purchase tickets at juno
ton points, the roads refusing to sell
tickets over connecting lines. The
question of allowing reduced rates
to persons travelling to the various
fairs in the state will also be passed
upon. F. c, GILREATH.

Those High Night Rates.

Owing to the absence from the
city of several of the officials of the
Bell Telephone Company the petit
ion of A. A. Smith, of Atlanta, to
compel the company to restore the
former reduced night rates on tele-
phone messages was not heard by the
railroad commission yesterday.

for the company, asked that the hear
ing be postponed so that the absent
officials might be heard on the ques-
ton.

Can Probably Borrow Money.

Much interest was aroused here
in the statement recently made by
Representative Anderson, of the Bull
loch county to the effect that Cover
nor Hoke Smith had recently writ
ten him a letter in which he stated
that unless he could borrow the mon
ey to run the congressional district
agricultural schools on this year, he
would call an extra session of the
legislature in order that that body
might make an appropriation for
those schools.
Inasmuch as the cotton crop will
soon be marketed, and there will be
a plethora of money in the next
a pletohora of money in the next
thirty days, Georgia receiving some
thing like $13O,O00,OOO for her share
of the cotton crop, it is not thought
here that it will be difficult for the
Governor to borrow money with which
to supply the needs of the agricultural
schools until the next session of hte
legislature.

Thought Governor Can Borrow Money
and No Extra Session Needed.-Still
Arbitrating Railroad Assess
mentS-.RuIing to Come on Re-
CiprOCaI Demurrage.
NEWSY LETTER FROM ATLANTA
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Sept. 1.-THE decision
of Judges Wilson and Audenraid in
the court of common pleas, at Phila-
delphia, declaring the 2-cent railroad
fare law of Pennsylvania unconstitu-
tional, was read with great interest
here in view of the litigation pend
ing in the state and federal courts
to enjoin the state railroad commits
sion from enforcing the reduced rates
prescribed by the Georgia railroad
commission.
Chairman S. G, McLendon, of the
state railroad commission, does not
believe that the Pennsylvania decis-
sion will in any wise affect the liti-
cation in Georgia.
1.-The questions involved" he said,
"are purely case questions, and each
must be decided on it's own merits
in each state. 4 2-cent rate may be
held confscatory in Pennsylvania,
and therefore unconstitutional, but
it does not follow that it is therefore
confscatory in Georgia.
Col. P H. Brewster, of the firm
of Dorsey, Brewster & Howell, coun-
sci for the Southern Railway and the
Atlanta & West Point railway, took
an exactly opposite view of the situa-
ton.
"If the 2-cent rate is confscatory
in Pennsylvania, for so wealthy a
railroad as the Pennsylvania rail-
road, surely it must be held to be so
in Georgia where the population is
bit one-tenth of that of Pennsylyan-
ia" said he.
He considers the prospects of the
railroads enjoining the enforcement
of the reduced rates much brighter.
