FILTHIEsT NATION IN WORLD.
That's What DIR. Stiles Says of the
United States.

AS a nation the United States is
the filthiest great country in the
world, according to DR.. C. w. Stiles,
head of the Rockefeller commission
for the study and prevention of the
hookworm disease, in speech on
flies before the second days meet
ing of the rural life conference at
the University of Virginia. He de-
nounced the failure of the American
people to prevent the spread of dis
ease through the observance of the
simplest precautions.
Among the other speakers were j.
P. Campbell of the department of
agriculture; T. o. Sandy, state agent
for farm demonstration work; Edith

Some Questions and Answers.

Can you name a single person
which to base the charge that Mr..
Barron had been guilty of misusing
any funds placed in his hands?"
asked Mr. Hall of Bibb.
Mr.. Walker said he could not.
Mr. Hall held in his hand the let
ter which Mr.. Walker admitted writ
ing. do you know of any person
or persons who can state to this COM
mittee facts showing that Mr.. Bar
ron paid guards and porters who
were not employed at the capitol?
This letter charges that the pay roll
was padded"
The witness said he could not name
any such person.
Why did you write this letter to
Mr.. Watson?" asked Mr.. Hall.
Because" replied Mr.. Walker,
he had asked me if I could get him
anything that he could use as am
munition against the Union City
bunch.
Did you ever have any intention
OF making it public or of bringing
those charges yourself to the atten-
ton Of the legislature or of anybody
else except Mr.. Watson?"
did not, and | thought Mr.. Wat
son would consider it as a private
matter"

WHY DEFEAT THE FARMERS !?
STEVENS THEIR ONLY REPRE-
SENTATIVE ON COMMISSION.
The Election of Perry Would Mean
-Four Lawyers, Which Would Be
Majority of the Board.

-Four Lawyers, Which Would Be
Majority of the Board.
The Dublin Courier-Dispatch, in an
editorial in the contest for railroad
commissioner, says:
For number of years the board
of railroad commissioners was COM
posed of one farmer, one lawyer and
one railroad man. Several years ago
the bill was changed so as to make
a board of five and that provision
requiring that the members should
come from different walks of life,
was left out of the bill. At the pres
ent time the board is composed of
three lawyers, one farmer and one
railroad man. The terms of office of
one lawyer, the railroader and the
farmer expire this year There is
one opposing candidate He is a
lawyer by the name of Perry. I'm
der the law he is required to pick
the man he prefers to oppose. He
did not pick the lawyer or the rail
road man, but the farmer of the
board. If he is elected the board
VIII be composed of one railroad man
and four lawyers.
Why is it necessary to remove the
FARMER from the board? Why did
not Mr.. Perry run against Murphy
Gambler, the lawyer, or Joe GRAY,
the railroader, instead of lobe Stew
ems, the farmer? Why is there any
necessity for four lawyers on the rail-
road commissions
OF the present boards three are
from north Georgia and two are
from south Georgia. The term of
Office of one north Georgia man and
both of the commissioners from
south Georgia expire. Mr.. Perry is
from North Georgia, and did not
choose to run against the north
| Georgia man, but selected the only
farmer on the board and one of the
two south Georgia men as his victim.
Why is it necessary to remove one
of the two south Georgia commits
| sioners? What occasion will arise
making it necessary to have four
north Georgia lawyers on the board?
Hon. lobe Stevens has served the
0IoIC do ISSlSIdtOI, senator, cOmmlS-
sioner of agriculture and railroad
commissioner. In all of these trusts
he was faithful to every interest.
He was always true to his oath of
office and to his constituents. He is
one of the largest planters of the
state and fruit grower. All of the
interests that he has is bound up
with his fellow farmers.
1t has been stated time and again
that Hon. o. B. Stevens made the
state one of the best commissioners
of agriculture it ever had He was
active in looking after every detail
connected with the Office. He has
made an acceptable and an earnest,
active and an intelligent railroad
commissioner.
1t looks to us as if Candidate Per-
ry made a mistake in picking Mr..
| Stevens to defeat The farmers of
Georgia will never consent that the
only farmer on the board be sup
planted by a lawyer when there are
already three lawyers, on the board !;
nor will the people of Georgia con-
sent that south Georgia shall be de-
prived of one of her commissioners,
when north Georgia has three al
ready"

COTTON RUSHED TO NEW YORK
Mr.. Putney of DOugherty County
Sends a Special Train of Twen-
tY-SeVen Car Loads.

Judge F. F. Putney, president of
the Georgia National Bank, and one
of the largest planters in this part
of the state, today shipped to New
York by special train twenty-seven
cars of cotton.
The shipment comprises $50 bales,
which Judge Putney has been hold
ing in his warehouse at Putney since
last seasons crop was harvested.
The Atlantic Coast Line is hand
ling the shipment, and will send it
through as a special train by way of
Townsville, Savannah, Richmond
and Washington to New York.
Judge Putney has not sold his cot
ton, but will leave in the next few
days for New York, where he expects
to arrive by the time the cotton
reaches there. He will either sell
the cotton upon his arrival for con-
tract delivery or hold it until next
month. AS the cotton market in
New York is off today about ninety
points he may decide after reaching
New York to hold the cotton and sell
it for August contract delivery.
Yesterdays telegraph dispatches
contained news of special cotton
trains that had started for New York
from various points in the south. but
in no instance was mention made of
such shipment as left Albany to-
day, which comprised nearly 500
bales from one planter. This is be-
lieved to be record in that respect.
Judge Putney some time ago sold
about 1900 bales of his last seasons

ABOUT THE AUTOMOBILE.
There Are 10000 Machines Now in
Use in This Country.


America is the greatest automo-
Dlle-using country in the world.
once Europe was in the lead in ev-
erything that pertained to this indus
try, but now the old world is hope
lessly distanced. Less than Is years
ago, when the Dingley tariff bill was
adopted, the automobile was not
deemed important enough for a sep
arate classification 1t was tucked
away in the schedule of "manufac-
tured metal. Last year 114,OOO
cars were turned out in the United
States. The automobile crop fore
casters estimate the production this
year at 10000. Practically ali this
vast number of machines is sold al
ready, and the factories are planning
their work so as to fill the 1911 con-
tracts that have been signed Fac
tories in almost any other line of
trade would think they were in
heaven if the demand for their goods
was so far ahead of the supply. AS
a money making proposition auto
mobile manufacturing eclipses any
thing heretofore known in the bust
ness world
More than half the motor cars that
are made in America are manu-
featured in the state of Michigan.
These Michigan factories give work
to about 10000 men.
These Michigan factories turned
out $4,000 machines last year. Their
output for this year is likely to be
considerably more than 100000
These cars range in price from lit
tie more than $500 up to $4,000
apiece. The capital invested in this
industry in Michigan has been esti-
mated at about $40,000,000, but SO
many new companies are organized
and so many new factories are built
continually that it is difficult to ar
rive at any exact figures. In all
probability the investment in the au-
tomobile industry in Michigan today
is more than SIS, 100000. How
marvelously fast some of the COM
panies have grown may be appre-
ciated from one statement. In 1904
certain company manufactured Is
automobiles. Last year its output
was 900.
There are about 100000 automo-
biles in use in the United States to-
day. The value of the annual out
put has jumped from $25, 100000 in
1904 to 10 times that sum in 1910.
1t has increased nearly 100 per cent
on the average every year. Stats
tics are generally tiresome, but these
cold facts are so stupendous that
they are like fiction

SNAKESKIN DRESSES.
Can Woman Be Coaxed Into Such As
ISOLATION With Her Hated Foe?

ISOLATION with Her Hateu roe
Unique garments are promised for
fall by the advance agent of fashion.
The information may be taken as a
timely warning by those who look too
often and too freely upon the wine
when it is red. The new garb will
include snakeskin dresses and snake
skin shoes, provided one may believe
this harbinger of styles, who goes
on to explain what wonderful things
in the art of dressing can be accom-
plished by the aid of snakeskins.
'Marvels," says this foreteller of
STYLES, "can be achieved by the py-
thon's skin in the hands of clever
designer. This skin never pulls or
gives. 1t is both waterproof and pill
able. and by skillful manipulation OF
its wonderful scale markings may
bring into prominence pretty point
or hide a defect of a woman. BY us
ing a python's skin for footwear the
foot can be made to look smaller or
it can be given breadth or tapered to
a point. An entire figure can be mod
eled in this way. Breadth can be at
tanned where desired; the effect of
slimness is obtained likewise; a pref
ty waist can be emphasized; angular
hips can be transformed into rounded
out ones as if by magic. Python
skins will make impervious shoes for
golf players or coats for motorists. .
What a boon to the discontented
fat woman as we'll as to her angular
sister! Let the wonderful garments
come, but woe to the wine bibber, for
his comfort will be little and hard

RETURNED AFTER 10 YEARS.
An Odd Contribution at Washington
to the Conscience Fund.

Probably the oldest conscience
fund contribution that ever reached
Washington was received there a few
days ago. Sixteen years ago James
Craven's chicken roost was robbed.
A few days ago an eXpressman set
down a. coop of chickens at his door
On the coop note was tackled. 1t
read: Dear Sir: l herewith return
to you the chickens l stole from you
sixteen years ago" There was no
signature. Mr. Craven is of the opin-
ion that the success of Jack John
son at Reno had something to do
with the making good of his chickens
