SAYS WE USED 70 BE APES

Birning CHAM, Eng, Sept. 16.-Dr.
Harry Campbell, addressing scientists
attending meeting of British Associa-
ton, said that man undoubtedly
evolved from the ape, which left the
trees and took to the plains when he
became carnivorous. A harder strug-
gle for meat-eating existence led to
more injustice. The stronger the ape
the more wives he had and the more
beautiful females he chose for his
mates. This, said Campbell, accounts
for the fact that now the ugly men
have beautiful wives.

by no means the most practical way
to bring young players into the major

The system Mack plans to introduce
to replace his elaborate scouting fol-
lows the theories he has stood for in
baseball matters since he began his
career as n manager. He will devote
his attention TO trying out school boys
and sand pile "phenoms" instead of
paying fancy prices for minor league
stars recommended by scouts. Mack
believes the scouting routine. from
which little realization has been made
almost worthless In view of the fact
that it costs the club $4,000 annually
in salaries to scouts alone in addition
to the sum paid for obtaining the
youngsters releases from the clubs Of
which they are the property.

HIGH PRICED
COTTON seed
HURT MILLS
BUT LITTLE PROFIT MADE
According to Report Of To-
Cal Mills

While the two large oil mills in
Americas, those of the Planters OIL
Co. and Americas Oil Co., will continue
in operation for several weeks yet, or
until the visible supply of seed d..
minishes, the current season has moi
been a successful one, financially, for
the mills here or elsewhere, a fact
due to the abnormally high price paid
for cotton seed
Mill men will not make any money
this season." said Mr.. R. L. McMath,
president of the Americas Oil Com
pany, while discussing conditions yes
tcrday, and his views were corrobo-
rated by Mr.. c. M. Council, who is in
terested in the Planters Oil Co. here.
1--WE are now paying $22 per ton for
cotton seed" said Mr.. McMath, "and
at this price there is little. if any,
profit in the business. During the
current season, some of the larger
mills up the state boosted the price of
seed to $25 and later to $27 per ton,
which price, of course, mills like ours
could not afford to pay, nor could the
Others"
Of course this season of abnormal!y
high prices was brief, and soon the
price of seed dropped again to present
quotations. The supply continue to
be fairly good, and the two Americus
mills will be operated as long as seed
can be had.
Another problem which the mills
here contended with this season, in ad-
dition to high prices paid for seed, was
the inferior quality of the seed in
many instances. The seed were al
lowed to become heated in the GIN
house, and rapidly deteriorated. OF
many carloads shipped to Americus
a large portion were spoiled The two
Americas oil mills represent an in.
yestment of more than $150O00, ami
are among the important manufacture
ing enterprises here. In addition u
tt oil mills there are five large fertil-
izer factories, representing an aggre.
gate investment of perhaps $25O,O0O
and giving employment to large forces
during the season.
Americas has seven industrial plants
of this nature, with invested capital of
nearly half million dollars. The five
fertilizer plants are now in the height
of a busy season, and will so continue
for probably two months longer

JUDGE EMORY SPEER
is SEVERELY SCORED
Says Order in Augusta Case
is Outrageous

| Augusta, Ga, Feb. 26.-In restrain
ing order issued by the United States
district court enjoining an officer of a
state court of Georgia from further
proceeding under the orders to him by
the latter court, and stopping progress
of litigation long since active in the
state court, proper judicial courtesy,
respect of states rights and within au-
thority of law?
Such a question arose in the Rich
mond county superior court yesterday
morning, was argued at length by
learned and eminent counsel in a con-
siderable number, and finally passed
upon by the court.
The judicial opinion of the superior
court after the question had been free
ly debated, is: "A soft answer turnetn
away wrath"
In brief that is the court record, at
the present stage of the clash betweel
the United States court for the soutt.-
ern district of Georgia and the Rich
mond county superior court in the
matter of the receivership of the d.,
funct Citizens Trust Company of Au-
gusta.
Further judicial development will be
recorded on or about the 18th day of
March, in the city of Savannah, when
the receiver for the Citizens Trust
Company, the officer of the superior
court referred to in the arguments be-
/ fore Judge Hammond yesterday morn
ing, is cited to appear before Judge
Speer.
/ Hearing had been set before Judge
Hammond at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning in the Citizens Trust Com
pany case, when it was the purpose to
have the court to direct the receiver
as to disbursement OF so much of the
funds as have been gathered by the
receiver for the benefit of the credit
ors.
Judge Speers order stopped the pro-
ceeding.
Mai J. c. c. Black took serious ev,
ception to the order issued by Judge
Speer, saying
why, may it please the court, he
has enjoined this court, he has enjoin-
ed you. 1t is outrageous and violates
all the courtesies and destroys the
comfy that should exist between the
courts, and is without sound legal au-
! thority.
Let Judge Speer come before this
court; he should have come before this
court, instead of ordering this court to
come before him, and not enjoined this
court from proceeding with what it is
already engaged upon"

HAIR, TEETH And LITTLE
TOES TO Be MISSING Soon
From Members Human Race
Says Chicago Pref.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Prof. Frederick
Starr, of the department of anthropol-
ogy OF the University of Chicago told
his class today that some time in the
future, hair, teeth and the little to rs
| would be missing from members of the
human race.
"Pre-digested foods, hats and shoe )
have rendered hair, teeth and little
tees useless" he said. The time will
come when the man, woman or child
possessing these will be curiosity.
The natural man needed hair as 4
defense and protection against the
struggles of primitive life, but we
with our hats and our civilization do
not need it. Persons with a scant
supply of hair seem to die out among
primitive peoples, but in civilization,
they increase
"If teeth and hair and little toes are
to be preserved, then it will be neces-
sary for civilized inhabitants of this
world to get back to nature as soon as
possible"
