THE VIRGINIA DEBT QUESTION

i n order u the Supreme Court requiring the carly action by
III a Of West Virginia in the Virginia debt case creates a serious
problem. The commission appointed by Governor Hatfield, in accord
nee WITH an act of the legislature, has made earnest efforts TO reach
some settlement of the Virginia debt. 1t has received no encourage
ment o Virginia. The authorities of that state apparently hold
that the Supreme Court has rendered a verdict and that no question
is open except the question of interest.
On the other hand. attorneys for West Virginia believe that a
large number of questions are yet TO be settled. and some 90 these
questions u a very serious character. For instance. a CO.. rabe
part ~ the old Virginia debt was created by the purchase O. certain
tangible properties, which remained in the hands OF Virginia When
the two states parted. If West Virginia is to he arbitrarily CHARGED
With a portion of the debt resulting from a purchase of these proper
ties, 1t is also fairly entitled to be credited with its share of the PRO
ceeds resulting from the sale or from the later use of these properties
M is a feature of the debt case that has not vet been brought out
IL las neye oeen presented TO the Supreme Court. and, if fairly pre-
sented' West Virginia authorities believe will entiue them to a claim
of several million dollars.
IL Is difficult to believe that the Supreme Court considers the
debt question settled so far as the actual amount due is concerned
The reading OF the courts opinion fairly leaves open the assumption
that West Vrginias counterclaim and credits are VET 10 he considered
II West Virginia can present such claims and obtain for them fair
consideration the debt question will assume a very much more favor
able aspect.

natural ~repugnance to hanging a

The womcn's clubs Of Massachu-

that until woman has absolute polit.

AMERICUS STILL
DWELLING upon

Big BUSINESS IN EVIDENCE
Result Of Good Prices for
Cotton

That conditions in Americas and
Sumter county are in very far bet
ter condition at the beginning of Oc-
tober this year than last autumn 5
abundantly evidenced here daily IN
the increased volume of business and
the cheerful faces of farmers, mer-
chants and bankers. This condition
applies not only to Americas, but to
the smaller and prosperous towns OF
Sumter, where business is excellent
The high price of cotton is respon-
sible for improved conditions. 1t has
enabled the farmers to not only pay
debts for the current year, but other
obligations of much longer standing.
The increased deposits at the
banks show conclusively that the far
mers are in much better condition
than they have been in some time. Be-
ing able to contract but few obliga-
tons and making a good crop of cot
ton and getting a good price for it
have brought about conditions in this
county which have, no doubt, put far
mers on their feet
They had a bad crop last year, due
to the seasons and for time this
year it looked like fate would h
against them when many were COM

count of the drouth. They finally got

have been most favorable for cotton
and that they have made it is evidenc-
ed by the way you see it rolling into
Americas.
The crop in other states is far be-
low the average, and this has played
to our farmers hands.
The farmers realized at the begin
ming of this year that they had to go
to work, and they laid off their coats
and got at it and the result is they
are now enjoying an abundance of
prosperity, and every merchant in this
town is rushed with the best business
experienced in years.

lanta Medical College opened its 59th
session this week with an enrolment
of more than 400 students, in which a
larger number of states and foreign
countries are represented than at any
time before in it's history
This increased representation is die
in large measure to the enactment II
the recent session of the general as
sembly, of the new medical practice
law, under which students from other
states making similar strict require
ments, can now attend Georgia institl-
tons and return to practice in their
own states, whereas for many years
certain of these states have not rec
ognized diplomas from Georgia col
leges.
The Atlanta Medical College was or
ganized in 1854 as a public institution
and has just combined with the At
lanta school of Medicine, so that Allan
to now has only the one institution. It's
requirements have been put on con-
siderably higher basis as result If

Notwithstanding this the freshman
class of this year with approximately
