BOARD ASKS PROOF
Of BRIDGE TRUST

Charges purported to have been
made by F. e. Osborne of the Indiana
Bridge company that bridge trust
exists in Indiana and the alleged in
vestigation of the county commission
ers, were denounced by the board of
county commissioners Saturday as
groundless and entirely from the mag
ination of trouble maker who wished
to cause i'll feeling between the county
officials and contractors.
An investigation was made by the
board of commissioners, Mr.. Osborn
and Bridge Engineer Mueller since the
report came out week ago. Mr.. Os-
borne denied making the statement
and the commissioners say that If he
made such a statement it was not be-
tore them as reported.
Engineer Mueller was indignant
over the report and said he will run
1t to the ground and II possible force
proof. The writer of the story could
not be located Saturday after the
officiars and contractors compared
notes on what he had told them this
morning

Women and the Ballot.

One of the important issues of this campaign
is suffrage for women. The reactionary element
is, of course, opposed to it, though they find no
objection to the voting of foreigners after they
have lived in the state six months and have ap-
piled for citizenship, the meaning of which they
are totally ignorant of in most instances.

Indianapolis, recently returned from a trip

the American women the ballot.

Saws Business Is ReSuming.

The financial report of Henry
Clews & Co., of New York, issued
this week, shows that gradually but
surely business of all kinds is being
resumed. and the worlds commerce
is adjusting itself to the necessities
of war By far the greatest and
most important basis of improvement
has been the partial restoration OF
international trade. Traffic is now
practically safe across the Atlantic
and through the Mediterranean, two
channels through which much the
largest share of the worlds COM
merce travels. The route to South
America is also practically open.
German boats, representing an enor-
nous tonnage, are Of course out OF
employment, and the sudden with
drawal of so large a capacity must
continue to be a serious 1nconVen-
fence, but, fortunately, freight trans
portation is being rapidly resumed;
chartering has become very much
more active and very soon our wheat
and cotton will be going abroad IN
liberal quantities. Germany will not
be able to buy our grain or cotton
with any freedom, but England must
have both in large amounts and VIII
be able to secure them as long as she
can control the sea. This helps mat
ters very materially on this side of
the Atlantic, and will lessen or avert
the loss that threatened our South
ern and Western farmers by an en-
barge upon transatlantic routes.

tuberculosis and Tango.

Tangoing must answer to a more
serious charge than merely wasting
time and keeping people up late.
Miss Catherine F. Coots, a train
ed nurse, says that the spread OF the
tango in New York has been respon-
sible for a marked increase in the
number of cases of tuberculosis. Miss
Coots has had several years expert
ence in New York hospitals and has
given special study to pulmonary
diseases.
In her indictment of the tango
Miss Coots says: Loss of sleep,
violent enervating exercise, irregu-
lar hours, midnight suppers, in which
the menu is not always made up Of
the most wholesome food, and, some
times, Incorporate drinking are con-
tributing factors

The SpinnerS and Cotton.

The New York Sun of recent date
saws that Eastern spinners and many
other men who are interested in cot
ton will see to it that the Southern
cotton growers do not get much help
from the federal government toward
moving this years cotton crop. here
is what the spinners and cotton men
I'D East say: The South ought 10
he willing to take the chances OF a
situation like this, the mutations OF
trade. 1t should not expect any spe-
cial aid from the government. Ana
vet other interests and other sections
ara enioving-or will do sO-the
benefits of federal aid. The South
ern cotton grower is expected 10
"take his chances" which reminds
us of what a Dawson cotton buyer
who has been filing orders for mills
said Yesterday, viz: that although
the mills are selling their products
at an advanced price since the be-
ginning Of the European war these
same mills are using the war as an
excuse for paying $500 a bale less
for cotton than they were a fe"
weeks ago. 1t is a situation that is
glaringly inconsistent and inexcusa-
Bile.
1t is natural that the spinners
should desire to see cotton sell at
low price and spectators on the bear
side to want to see it sell cheap. but
here in the South we realize clearly
enough the peril of the situation. II
cotton is unduly depressed it means
harder conditions for everybody here
and bankruptcy for some. If there
was ever time when the best
thought of the cotton states should
come to the front in intelligent eff
fort now is the time.

RAISING FOODSTUFFS.

From the Tuscaloosa, Ala, News.
Economic students interested in
the welfare of the South have for a
long while foreseen the necessity OF
producing foodstuffs in this section,
and they have used every means pos
sible 10 urge the farmers to diversity.
While this advice has been accepted
and put into practice in isolated
cases the majority of the farmers
have continued to put all their eggs
into one basket-the cotton basket.
Now comes this great European
war to drive home the fact that the
South must broaden it's agricultural
efforts. 1t must cease to be depend
ent upon other sections OF the coun-
try for food. The cotton crop OF the
South is the one most seriously at
fected by the war. While the de-
mand for cotton may be curtailed
with a corresponding decrease in
price which will enforce a holding
movement, the demand for American
corn and wheat and meat will in
crease. For people will cut down
their expenses for clothes before they
will do without food.
The result is that the Southern
people will have to pay increased
prices for foods they eat while the
value of their greatest product stands
still or advances but little. We do
not believe that the situation Of the
South is at all critical, or that the
cotton crop will not be protitably
marketed. But it does seem ineyl-
table that, unless the war is brought
to an end soon, the people of this
section are going to have to pay a
penalty for not raising their own
food.
There is no reason for their not
feeding themselves. Their lands ars
fertile, their climate the best. Sheep
hogs and cattle can be raised here
as cheaply and as profitably as IN
other sections of the country, while
the record production of bushels Of
corn to the acre has been made in
this section. Wheat, oats and other
grains also flourish in the South il
properly cultivated.
The only thing standing in the
way of diversified farming in the
South is tradition. But maybe the
stress of this greater war will be ef-
fective when advice has failed tC
break down the custom of stalking
everything on cotton.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.
What of 1t and How Will 1t Affect
America?

Editor Dawson News: Scripture

preserved He that honOreth me
him will | honor, but him that doeth
not so shall be lightly esteemed.
Happy is that people whose God is
Jehovah; yea, happy is that people
whose God is Jehovah. Hume and
Gibbon are the only great men whom
England has produced and Voltaire
the only great man France has pro
duced, whom the common thought
ranks as infidels, and a close exami-
nation of their writings prove that
instead of denying Jehovah they
we're fatalists, as was Tom Paine,
and only warred on wrong state
ments of truth as taught by the cler-
icals of their day. In our time they
would have ranked with the Rev.
Hale. ex-Presidents Jefferson and
Taft as Unitarians, holding suDstan-
TALLY the same belief of Christ as the
modern Hebrews hold. But Ger
many and Austria-Hungary are the
hOt-beds of that form OF ln1del1ty
that teaches we sprung from naught,
return to naught, and are responsible
to none save ourselves, denying any
conception of Jehovah, mans I'M
mortality or responsibility to any
power higher than themselves. They
are materialists in the worst phase
of the word. In all thy ways &C
knowledge Him and He shall direct

custom of England that at sunset eV-

the sin of Achan, when repentance

cause in America we have at the
head of our nation and all Of its de-
partments avowed believers in and
WOrshiperS of Jehovah, and in our
states the same thing is emphasized in
our rulers making the lions Whelp
the chief gamer of the nOn-cambat-
ants by reason of the English lion
tearing his prey. This is a time for
men OF God to bestir themselves, and
they are men of God, no matter
whether behind bankers rails or

INCREASE IN TAX VALUES SHOWN
Controller General Says 1t Amounts
to More Than $85. 100000.

J With the returns in from every
county in the state save two-Floyd
and DOugherty-the increase in tax
/ values for 1914 amounts to $685.
/ 575,O47, according to statement
given out by Controller General VIM.
i A. Wright. OF this amount the cor
porations show a gain of s., 548, 975
and the digest an increase of $780,
026,O73.
The tax on the property of rail-
road and public service corporations,
due Sept l, will amount to approx
mately sos, 900, declares General
Wright. Owing to the enormous
gain in taxable values as already in
dicated, the controller general is OF
the opinion that he will be able to
reduce the tax rate from five mills
to $3.50.
The legislature just adjourned has
appropriated $134,720 in excess of
the appropriation of 1913, which
amounted to $5,915,133. This will
bring the total appropriations OF
1913-1914 to $6,O49,S53.

Will Be More Meat.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the farm paper published
at Springfield, Ohio, Judson c. Welli-
yer, the Washington correspondent Of
that publication, writes an interest
ing article about the meat supply in
the United States. Everybody knows
that meat is scarce now, but it is Mr..
Welliver's opinion that in the future
it will be more plentiful. He thinks
that Uncle Sam, who is just getting
started on a detailed inquiry into the
worlds meat supplies and prospects,
is inclined to think the same way.
Following is an extract from his ar
ticle:
"All the statistics agree in the gem
eralization that since 1910 there has
been a considerable reduction in the
number of meat animals in the coun-
try. Of meat cattle the department
of agriculture reports that in 1910
there were Al, 178,000, while in 1914
it counts only 1855, 200. This is
an annual decrease of about 3.3 per
cent; and while the number OF ami
mails has been diminishing the num-
Der of people to be fed on them has
steadily grown. In sheep the num-
Der decreased in the same period
from 52,488,000 to 49,719,00O, or
10 per cent annually. The number
of swine remained almost stationary.
AS a whole, these three classes of
meat stock decreased from 51,S12,-
900 to 144,507,0 900. Yet the values
of the animals have increased so rap
idly that whereas the entire supply
was worth in 1910 only 81, $780,
900 by 1914 it was put in at $780,
O87,OOO. These figures all repre-
sent the departments calculations OF
values on the farm. Is this loss in
numbers and gain in average values
a temporary incident, or is it likely
to continue?
my guess is that it is temporary.
That guess is based on the fact that
in seven of the nine grand geograph-
ic divisions OF the country the pro-
norton of meat stock is growing
right now; in two it is declining
The so-called corn belt is losing
ground somewhat, though it is still
far in the lead of all other sections;
the rest of the country, after long
period in which it's proportion OF live
stock declined, is now gaining.
Take it section by section. and the
study will convince anybody that
within the next one, two and three
decades there is going to be a diffu-
sion of the livestock industry
throughout the country that will far
more than offset the decrease in the
rather restricted areas where spe-
cialization has been carried so far.

1t is pathetic and impressive. too.
that virtually the last utterance of
Plus X to the world was an express
sion of grief awakened by the war
now blighting so large a portion of

prospect that lay before his eyes, and
his last appeal to Catholics in all
lands of the earth was to pray for
peace. 1t was a fit thought, they

ABOLISH COUNTY TREASURES

From the Butler Herald.
One of the most important bills
passed at the recent session of the
legislature was a right to abolish the
office of county treasurer in several
counties of the state. The measure
was passed and now remains for
the people to ratify it at the election
in November, when doubtless nine
tenths of the counties in Georgia will
take advantage of the fact that they
may be relieved of this unnecessary
office by local legislation, which will
mean a saving in the state if adopted
by all counties of some two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars annually.
