 priation of $1,000,0O0.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Now that Gov. Major of Missouri has an nounced he will begin a systematic fight for national aid for good roads, there is great interest in the report of the postoffice and agricultural de partments that the plan of the United States to aid in state building is practical.
 The postoffice department and the department of agriculture handled the half million-dollar fund appropriated by the government for the purpose last year.
 The departments encountered nu- merous obstacles in the distribution of the money, but the report re: om- mends that another million dollars be appropriated to carry on the work next year.
 The obstacles that the postoffice department and the department of az riculture encountered in their joint effort to dispense the half million dollar good roads fund appropriated by the last congress for the purpose of experimenting in federal aid to good road-building are Interestingly told in report submitted to congress by Postmaster General Burleson and Secretary of Agriculture Houston.

States Didn't Have Power.

In the first place, it was disclosed that most of the states are not em- powered to build roads out of state funds, or have certain legislative or constitutional restrictions that pre- vented their surrendering any part of the supervisory power to the federal government.
 Finally, by stretching to the utmost discretion lodged in the heads of the two departments charged with carry ing out the law, an arrangement has been made with separate counties or communities whereby the work has been set in operation, with the result that 35S miles of road have been ap. proved and are partly under construc- tion.
 The law provides for the expendi- ture of half million dollars of fed eral money and for a million dollars put up by states or subdivisions there of. This would have given each state about S10000. Only three states, however, could accept the money un. der those conditions for state road building. These were Oregon, Ala bama and Iowa. The states of Cali fornia, Indiana, Kansas. Pennsyl vania and Utah paid no attention to the offer, while Delawarc. 64ichigan, New Mexico, South Dakota a. Wis consin declined to have anything to do with the proposal The other states found they could not partici- pate in the scheme either for finan- cial or legal reasons.

ERDMAN MEDIATION
ACT IS AMENDED
Amendments Rushed to Avert
Threatened Strike

Washington, D. c., June 27.-With a
view to averting the threatened strike
of 10000 railway employees east Of
Chicago, the senate yesterday rushed
through the passage of amendments to
the Erdman mediation act sought by
the railway employees as affordiag
suitable machinery for settlement of
their pending disagreements.
Action came only after determined
fighting for unanimous consent to con-
slider the measure by both the demo-
cratic and republican members of the
interstate commerce commission, LED
by Senator Newlands.
The amendments enlarge the board
Of arbitration provided under the
Erdman act from three to six. The
railways have declined to submit the
present disputes to a board composed
of only three members. 1t also pro-
vides for appointment by the presi-
dent of an official mediator, indie
pendent of all government bureaus, II
salary of $500 year.
Senator Newlands admitted that
Secretary Wilson opposed the bill be-
cause the mediator was made indie
pendent of the department of labor

BOND Commission TO BE
FOUGHT AT CORDELE
In Case AmiCabIe Settlement
Is Impossible

Cordele, June 27.-The publicity Civ
en- the threat of Cordele business and
professional men to file mandamus pro-
ceedings against the bond commission
has created a great deal of discussion
condemning these officials for their in
activity during the years time since
the public improvement bonds were
voted.
1t developed today that it was the in
tention of the commissioners to pur-
chase a site for the ward school on
Northern Heights at a place whica
would be very unsatisfactory to the
citizens of that section. In fact,
though the bonds were voted for q
school on Northern Heights, the COM
mission has settled upon a location
about half mile from that section.
Upon learning of this, meeting of
citizens was called, including about d
hundred, and they stoutly protested
against the proposed action of the Off
Gals, having already mapped out plans
10 put the matter in litigation if an
amicable settlement cannot be reached.
The meeting also protested against
the action of the city council in grant
ing a permit to the Empire Cotton Oh!
company to erect a fertilizer mixing
plant in their section. 1t was planned
for the citizens and councilmen -
some together in an effort to get the
officials to rescind their action in
granting the permit, if it is possible to
do so. If this cannot be done, it is
their intention to petition for an in
junction against the company.

MIR. BELL HAS GOOD
CROPS ON LEE FARM
Corn Is Especially Good This
Year

Mr. E. L. Bell returned yesterday
from an automobile trip to his large
plantation at Adams, in Lee county,
and reports crop conditions quite fav-
orable despite the continued drouth,
although crops of all kinds are needing
rain very much, more particularly the
corn and cane crops
Mr. Bell stated that he had probably
1000 acres planted in cotton and 400
acres in corn, and that both crops were
doing well under existing conditions
The corn crop, he states, is exception
ally good and promises a yield OF for
ty to sixty bushels per acre.
The cotton crop is a large one 1000
acres and lacks uniformity, because OF
the late seasons and frequent plans
ings. The cotton of first planting IA
waist high and we'll fruited. while
other paintings vary In size to the
young cotton which has only recently
been chopped out and worked
This fine farm OF Mr., Bells contains
very nearly 1000 acres. and is consid-
erred one of the best TN South Georgia
Only few seaaonable showers ar
needed now 10 insure good erops.

WAYCROSS The winner IN
LISTLESS GAME YESTERDAY
Visitors Came Near Duplicating the Performance OF the
Visitors in Regard to One Sided Score Shoe Was
on the Other Foot Yesterday
The shoe was on the other foot yes

The shoe was on the other foot yes
terday.
Which, when translated as regards
it's application to the ball game, means
that yesterday the locals took slump
instead of Waycross, and made enough
errors to transfer the game to the WIS.,
itors.
1t was a long, hot, unsatisfying kind
of a contest, featured by bum playing,
| in which the locals had more than their
share. Three costly miscues by the To-
Gals did damage enough. to give Way
cross a winning lead.
A dozen hits by the locals were
balanced against thirteen by the Wis
| itors, though the results were far
I
different in run-getting. With men on
bases and everything ready for score
the locals were unable to garner time
| ly bingles. So it went until it was
too late for them to remedy matters.
Shamus O'Brien, he of the Irish
name and the Killarney curve, occu-
pied the firing line for the visitors,
and it was to his effective twirling in
| large part that the victory of the Wis
itors was due. At critical times he
held the local batters .hitless, pitching
altogether a good game. Fucich per-
formed well for the locals, having
surrendered only one more hit than
C'Brien. Errors by his teammates at
critical moments spoiled his chances CT
victory.
