GEORGIA TO BE
FREED OF TICK

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 15.-(Special.)-
IF Georgia farmers had the right
kind of cattle, they would be receiv-
ing eight and nine cents per pound
on the hoof, as a result of the war
situation" said DR.. E. M. Nighber-,
in charge of the tick eradication work
for the South.
1t is due to the fact that most of
the South is infested with cattle tick
that this section is forced to produce
what is known as scrub cattle, and
which sell for about one-half price
and often less. However, the Federal
government is working in conjunction
with the state and county authorities,
pushing a crusade to wipe out cattle
tick, and during the month of July
alone, 45,792 cattle were disinfected
and freed of the cattle tick, and 81
010 were inspected.

Georgia State League,

With the score l to 0 in the Mucka-
lees favor rain broke into yesterdays
game in the third inning and robbed
Americas ola victory. only one man
was down and the heavy end of the
batting order was due to come up
when the tear drops began to pour
that put the blink on the game.
But regardless of the disappoint-
ment of seeing rain rob us of another
win, the three innings played were
fast and close. Blansit for Americas
was working like winner. Five men
famed at his shoots in the first three
innings and two hits were all that
the Moguls had gathered when the
rain stopped the game.
Americas scored her run in the
third on an error by the first base
man, sacrifice and Glenn Colbys
hit to right field. With Colby on sec
,ond, one down and Dave CASTOR up
things looked stormy for Waycross
but rain saved them.

In a recent survey Of a community
in New England, the average annual
income of 154 farmers who has a com
mon school education was 1929 while
the average net income Of 1872 farmers
of the same locality with high school
education was s4S2 annually. This
was worth to each farmer who pos

Fixing the Maximum Rate.
In another card it is alleged that
Judge Nat E. Harris, Macon's can
dFdate for Governor, worked and
voted to increase Georgia's legal rate
of interest from per cent. to u per
cent" Without explanation this
charge is calculated to injure Judge
Harris. In 1881 there was an acute
depression and panic in this country.
Farmers had to pay per cent. inter-
est and 10 per cent. commissioners in
order to obtain loans, making money
cost them is per cent. to 20 per cent.
per annum, and it was almost impos-
sible to get money even at these ex-
orbitant rates, 1t was thought that
the farmers would be able to get
money at a cost not to exceed u per
cent, if>the rate of interest was fixed
at that percentage. BY the passage
of this hill it was hoped to induce the
Eastern bankers to send money into
this State and allow the farmers to
obtain this money at a smaller rate
than they could from the local money
lenders who were charging from IS
per cent. to 20 per cent. for the
money.
Judge Harris purpose in advocat-
ing this bill was not to injure the
farmers but to enable them to get
their money at cheaper rate of in
terest than they were paying.
Those Who Voted For That Measure
Besides Judge Harris the following
distinguished citizens of Georgia, who
then members of the Legislature, vot-
ed for this measure: C. L. Bartlett,
R. C. Humber, w. T. Gary, M. V. Cal
vim, C. R. Pendleton, C. P. Pringle, c.
A Robbie, Thos. Eason, Robt. Fall
CANT, J. M. Dupree, J. NJ. McBrywe, w.
n. Spence, H. A. Jenkins, Jno. McRae,
Among the supporters of this meas
ure were Robert c. Humber Charles
A. Pringle and John McRae, who were
large farmers and who would not
have voted for such a measure if it
tended to iniure their own class.
In order to ascertain whether or
not the vote of Judge Harris on the
above measure of thirty-two years
ago was for or against the interest of
| the farmers you would have to take
into consideration the condition of af-
fairs at the time the bill was intro
duced
What does ]. Randolph Anderson
know about the problems that con-
frcnted the farmers of our stricken
State in 1882? Where was DR.. Hard

posts, working to rehabilitate Geor-
gia and enable the farmers and all
the people to get credit

GOOD DINNER AND THREE DAYS

When Americas contented people sit

in their comfortable homes, another
element here, less fortunate, but hui
man none the less, will not be forgot
ten in the general distribution of good
things. These are Sumter's road
builders, the convict gang nearly
one hundred strong, and these hard
toilers, both white and black, are going
to have a good Christmas dinner and,
moreover, a period of rest in which to
enjoy their menu.
Supt. Christian has already planned
the Christmas bill of fare for the re
bras, and it certainly is appetizing.
Here is what the road-builders will
have for their holiday dinner:
Four barbecued pigs weighing sixty
pounds each; an abundance of bread,
144 cakes, 544 pies, sixty pounds of
candy, two crates oranges, barrel of
apples, the meal to be topped off
with $50 packages of tobacco for the
smokers. Some class to that dinner,
If you read the menu carefully.
There are four convict camps in
the county, the whites and blacks be-
ing worked separately at all times,

AMER|CUS WILL SEE
BEAUTIFUL ANNETTE
MANAGED M'CORD PRATHER Of
FERS SPECTACULAR ATTRACT
ION AT THE POPULAR ALCAZAR

The attraction for the Alcazar
Theatre Monday and Tuesday, Dec. %,
and 20, is a gorgeous motion tableau
in which Annette Kellerman is the
most admirable feature. The vehicle
for Miss Kellerman's new honors in a
delightful fairy play "Neptune's
Daughter" and as the favorite daugh-
ter of King Neptune of the Sea, she is
in very truth a creature to excite
EXPLANATIONS OF surprise and delight
for she appears as mermaid-the
fairest of Neptune's fifty daughters.
And with her there are her sister mer-
maids all beautiful and graceful and
accomplished swimmers. 1t was no
small task to surround Miss Keller
man with this aggregation of grave
and beauty for she is herself so per-
fectly at home in the sea that maidens
less skilled in aquatic feats and less
graceful would but awkwardly enact
the role of mermaids. But, with
twelve months work the forty-nine sis
tiers were chosen and rare aggrega-
ton they make. Each one is an
aquatic expert and besides the physi-
cal perfection which they represent
they are notable for their sirenic
beauty.
Whether she be swimming about in
the water of Bermuda with her mer-
maid sisters, sitting on the rocks with
waves breaking about her, diving as
she has done before so wonderfully in
deep pool with tropical foliage over
hanging, and group Of eager children
peeping at her and the Southern sky
overhead; or struggling in the waters
bound hand and foot as her enemies
have cast her into the sea, or still
more excitedly wrestling for her life
with a hired assassin under the water,
the new pictures are epoch-inaking in
I
the film plays. But, since they exhaust
the vocabulary one must needs see
them to appreciate their unexcelled
beauty.
"Neptune's Daughter" comes to the
Alcazar Theatre Monday and Tues
