" a YE have seen how the high

ticuIarly is the direct re-
suit of the downward trend of popula-

for the terrible congestion of popuia-

Such conditions are deplorable, the
more so because they are unnecessary.
There is enough food in the world for

COUNTY OPTION
CAPT. VIM. MITCHELL LEWIS
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR
Be not deceivcd!

Be not deceived!
County option HAS BEEN TRIED for
Is years, and has proved PRACTICAL
success. No state which has adopted county
option has ever repealed the law. Michi-
gan. Indiana, Ohio and Missouri, are some
of our neighboring states which have
adopted county option.
County option has proved to be the
BEST MEANS OF REGULATING and
reforming DIs0RDERLY saloons.
County option is BETTER THAN
LOCAL OPTION because it has proved to
be the FAIREST way to handle the saloon
icense-fairest to ALL the people.

MOLASSES SPIRITS TO
BE SOLD A BLEND

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The depart
ment Of justice has acted promptly In the
What is Whisky" protest by approving
the recommendation of the treasury de-
partment for suspension of any orders
inconsistent with the restraining order
obtained from the Louisiana courts by
the molasses interests. The suspension
will be in effect during the tendency OF
the litigation.
The internal revenue bureau, acting on
the suggestion for suspension which was
made as the result of the recent confer
ence between Commissioner of internal
Revenue Cabell, acting Attorney General
Fowler and representatives of the mo-
lasses interests in louisiana, will permit
molasses spirits to be used without be-
ing branded as made from molasses."
The word whisky cannot be used in
packages containing molasses spirits. but
molasses spirits which are mixed with
whisky can be put on the market as a
blend The molasses interests claim
that this action, announced today, will
enable them to avoid shutting down their
plants altogether. though they say that
even now some Of their business will be
lost.

MEAT IS OFF, BUT ONLY
IN THE POORER GRADES

Meat is off. Not the fine grades. but
the cheaper quality--a few cents a
pound, but dealers declare that this is
due to the dull summer season, and not
to the activities of the commission 20
investigate the high cost Of living, or
the efforts of an uneasy administration
to do something to the tariff
Pork which sold at from 22 to 25 cents
a pound is now selling at 20 cents, or
an average. reduction of to 1 1-2 and 2
cents pound. according to the locality
where il is sold, the amount of rent
the dealer has to pay, and the prosperity
OF his customers. ..
In what is known as grass fed cattle.
there is. a larger reduction. Steak Of
this class is now selling from 5 TO -1-2
cents a pound which in it's palmy days
brought as high as II cents. The fine
steaks, however, show no reduction.
The cheaper class of steak one dealer
compared, in it's cooked state, to a GRO
Gus sack which had been washed. 1t
was badly shrunk and was mostly
threads.
THE best meat is still high and will
always be-" said, a dealer. The reduc-
ton in pork and the lower grades OF beef
IS due only to the season Of the year.
: There is nothing permanent in the re-
duction, ard 1t is not general 1t does
not amount TO muca. even at that"

Teaching Modern Dentistry

NO profession has made such universal
progress as has Dentistry during the
past few years. The course of study has
advanced in all recognized colleges
from two years, Of FIVE months each to q
minimum of three courses of eight
months EACH, before the degree of Doc
tor or Dental Surgery is conferred The
Southern Dental College of Atlanta liz the
first Dental College established in Geor.
gia, and is one of the Oldest in the south.
This school has at all times been amons
the most forward in advancing a high
standard. We congratulate Il upon its
handsome 1910 catalog, and observe that
1t announces, in advance of other schools
the establishment of a new chair on
the subject OF Alveola Pyorrhoea and
Oral Prophylaxis. The question of Oral
Prophylaxis, or prevention of disease IL
the most intensely discussed subject by
modern dentists, and is considered and
being adopted with good results by
boards Of health and public school COM
missioners in quite a number of our lar
gest cities. 1t is an indication of prog.
ress to note that the Southern Dental
has taken the initiative in establishing
such a chair.

BOIL WEEVIL SCARE
WITHOUT FOUNDATION

There Is no such thing as the boil wee
vii in Georgia. though reports have been
cent from several counties that the boil
weevil has crossed into Georgia from Al
ALBANIA.
Z. L worsham. state entomologist,
stated Friday morning that the boil Wee
VII has not progressed 10 the east further
than three counties in southwest Ala
hama, and that il is not to be found in
any part Of Georgia
The boil weeviI scare has stirred up the
farmers OF many counties. Friday morn
ing. Senator Galloway and Representa-
tives Barksdale and Booker. Of wilkes
county. called on Mr.. wOrsham to show
him q specimen of a weevil from Wilkes.
They feared that Il was the boil weevil.
Mr.. worsham found that II was the snout
weevfI very much like the boil weevil,
but not a menace TO cotton.
In a great many cases the COW pea pod
weevil is being mistaken for the boil wee
VII The two cannot be distinguished ex-
cept BY inspection with a microscope. In
addition to this minute resemblance. the
cow pea pod weevil feeds on the foliage
OF the cotton plant. II does not penetrate
the cotton boil. however. or injure the
cotton.
Mr.. worsham says that there are other
members OF the weevil family that bear
weevfl. When viewed with the naked eye
they cannot be distinguished from the
boil weevil- This resemblance is the rea-
son for boil weeviI scare
He IS emphatic in MS denial that the
boil weevil is in any part Of Georgia. He
has Investigated every report TO the con-
tfary and has found that in each case
some comparatively harmless member OF
the weevil family has been mistaken for
the boil weevil-
Telegraphic reports have recently been
sent for publication from Augusta and
Savannah. and other points. that the boil
weevn is menscing the Georgia cotton
crop These reports. the entomologist
SAYS are unfortunate mistakes.

MUST HAVE ICE CREAM
IF MEN GET DRINKS

TARENTUM, Pa, July 8.-Burgess
Henry Zimmerman is in a quandary. He
ordered he blue laws enforced IN the
borough and for the past three Sundays
no ice cream, soda water or anything de-
lectable has been on sale. The crusade
was started by the girls Of number Of
churches TO close the stores in general.
The order proved too drastic, however.
and today they confronted the burgess
with the alternative that unless he closed
the clubs where the men could go and
drink their beer they would organize an
ice cream and soda water club and would
demand the same treatment as the beer
clubs. The burgess said he would let the
girls know tomorrow.

COTTON MEN FIGHT
=. BUT ARE NOT HURT
One Is Accused of Having De-
serted His Southern Connec-
tionS and Battle Follows

Charges made by Lamar Fleming
that Frank Hayne and his associates
who had been putting up the price Of
cotton had taken their profits down
and left those who had followed tn EN-
to do the best they could, brought on
fight between those two men in Del
monico's, says the New York World.
Fleming said that Hayne had done these
things and is reported to have sent out
messages to friends In the south to tn at
effect. Here is the story as told in
the World:
Wall street yesterday devoted itself
almost entirely to discussion Of the
great fight between Lamar Fleming and
Frank Hayne, which was pulled off,
in Delmonico's downtown restaurant
late Tuesday. ......t.. LIZ .-s- --.
Although under Delmonico rules II is
not permitted to issue any official decis-
ion, 1t was generally conceded by the
select few bottle holders seconds and
time keepers present that Fleming had
the better of 1t up to the moment when
the authorities entered the ring and
stopped the bout.
frankie" Hayne, however, is con-
WINGED that he can come back, and Ii IS
understood that a return match is like
ly to be arranged in the barber shop
Of the Waldorf-Astoria, winner to take
all, which in this case will be all the
spot" cotton in sight.
BOUTS IN EXCHANGE FIRST.
1t was about o'clock. in the after
noon when the contestants took the
floor. Earlier in the day the public had
been entertained by several preliminary
bouts between minor lights of the two
cotton rings in the pit of the local ex-
change.
When the star performers stood up
Il was noticed that there was great
discrepancy in their respective sizes.
Fleming had the advantage in reach,
but Hayne eutclassed him in weight.
Hayne represented the party which
has bent it's efforts on advancing the
price of the staple. while Fleming is
said to be the unknown" Of the Nc
Fadden ring which has endeavored to
break prices.
The bout began in an imprompty man
ner. Fleming was seated at a table
when Hayne approached and uttered
something in which the word liar" fig
ured prominently.
ACCUSED OF SPREADING STORIES.
From what could be learned Hayne
had accused Fleming of distributing
false information among the cotton
growers and spectators in the south 20
the effect that Hayne, scales ana thelr
associates had slipped out of the bull
ring that had been boosting the price or
cotton and had taken their prolIts, leav-
ing their followers in the lurch.
Some of the messages which 1t is
said Fleming sent had been returned TO
Hayne. They made the latter hopping
mad with the result that when he met
Fleming in Delmonico's Tuesday he
threw one of them down as challenge
Fleming quickly took up the gage
After the exchange Of preliminary
punches the two came to a clinch, fall
ing to the floor, Fleming uppermost
They dragged each other around a bit,
when the walters interfered and the
bout was declared off for the moment.
Hayne. however, Immediately declared
his intention OF coming back and prep
arations for a return bout 1t is under
stood are being made.

MAY BUILD MONUMENT
TO MEMORY OF WHITNEY

SAVANNAH, Ca, July PA strong
movement has been set on foot for. the
erection near this city of a monument
to the memory of Eli Whitney, the in
ventor of the cotton gin. The movement
is to be extended to include all cotton
factors and interests throughout the
country. There is now no monument in
existence TO the man who revolutionized
the cotton industry.
The proposed monument is to be erect
ed upon the very spot upon the old
Greene plantation where stood the house
which was Whitney's workshop.
The Greene plantation is historical not
only because 1t was the home of the Bos-
ton school teacher who became a genius,
but because 1t was the country seat of
one of Georgia's Revolutionary heroes.
