Another Lobby Charged.

On May 26th, 1918, President Will
son charged that an 'insidious lobby
was at work in the senate trying to
defeat the tariff bill, which has since
become a law. Apprehensiye, the
senate started an investigation to
clear its own skirts, and proved the
existence of the lobby.
On June 18th, 1914, just a little
more than a year later, President
Wilson openly charged that big bust
ness" is conducting a long-distance
lobby to secure the adjournment OF
congress before certain antitrust leg
islation is adopted. He openly
charges that the business depression,
which is said to exist in many sec
lions of the country, has been insti-
gated by the same interests.
Accompanying his charges the
president presents documentary evil
dence in the form of letters from
business houses requesting their rep
resentatives in congress to adjourn
without further experimental legis-
lation." One of these was circular
letter. sent to people all over the
country by New York concern, urg-
ing them to write or telegraph tC
Washington to call a halt.
What the president has boldly pre-
sented in his official capacity mos
people have long believed withou
conclusive evidence to back their be
lief. that "big business may manu-
facture a scare. to order.
big business" has been shorn %
many of its prerogatives by the dem
ocratic administration. While tn
: tariff reduction had been anticipate
it's enactment was a blow to protect
ed industries. While the currenc
bill was publicly demanded it dc
prived Wall street of undispute
domination of the money of the cour
try. While antitrust bills have bee
the popular demand for years an
while the public has long sought r.
lief through such measures their Ell
aetment. would be. a,-further curtai
ment Of that power which big bus
ness has sxereised1 al!

President Wilson has requested
the resignation of Henry Lincoln
Johnson, an Atlanta negro politician
who has been recorder of deeds OF
the District of Columbia for the past
four or five years. The action OF
the president in calling for the i'm
mediate resignation of Johnson is the
result of the efforts of Senator Hoke
Smith and other southerners to rid
the government of the service of
negro office holders who came in
under republican rule.

The Value of Birds.

1t is a matter of regret that a
larger audience did not hear Mr..
James Henry Rice, Jr., of the United
States Bureau of biological Survey,
speak in Dawson Saturday morning
on the usefulness of birds to the
farmers. Mr.. Rice was both inter-
esting and instructive.
OF the birds known as natural enc
mics of the cotton boil weevil orioles,
swallows and bullbats are the most
important. There are sixty kinds of
birds that prey on the boil weeyil.
The bullbat catches the weeVils on
the wing in considerable numbers,
especially during their migration.
Unfortunately this bird is shot for
sport or eaten for food in some parts
of the South, but its value for food
is infnitesimal as compared with the
service it renders the cotton grower
and other agriculturists. The orioles,
barn swallows, roughwing swallows,
bank swallows, cliff swallows and the
martins are all persistent enemies OF
the boil weevil. From the stand
point of the farmer and the cotton
grower these swallows are among the
most useful birds. Especially de-
signed by nature to capture insects
in midair their powers of flight and
endurance are unexcelled, and in
their own field they have no Compel
itors. Their peculiar value to the
cotton grower consists in the fact
that, like the bull bat, they capture
boil weevils when flying over the
fields, which no other birds do. Fly
catchers snap up the weevils near
trees and shrubbery. Wrens hunt
them out when concealed under bark
or rubbish. Blackbirds catch them
on the ground, as do the kildee, tit
lark. meadow lark and others, while
orioles hunt for them on the bolls.
But it is the peculiar function of
swallows to catch the weevils as they
are making long flights leaving the
cotton fields in search of hiding
places in which to winter or entering
them to continue their work of de-
vastation.
There has been too much destruc-
ton of bird life everywhere, and the
farmers will pay heavy pen
atty unless they see to it that their
feathered friends are better pro-
tected.

Some of our contemporaries are
suggesting Editor H. NJ. Mcintosh for
governor, and saying nice things of
him that are well deserved. We are
satisfied he is, too well-contented
with his newspaper work and occa-
sional trips after the finny inhabi-
tants of the streams in the vicinity
of Albany to bother with the worries
of office seeking and office holding.
But he would make a strong candl7
date and an ideal executive, and
should he ever aspire to that office
The News will be with him from first
to last.

Treasure-Laden MeteoriteS.

Now polonium is a cousin of .ra-
dunn. Hence the expedition. The
organizers of it argue that if they can
only extract from the meteorite even
a small fraction of. an ounce of ra-
dunn their fortunes are made.
1t is quite possible, too, they say,
that there may be large diamonds in
side the mass. Very small diamonds
have undoubtedly been taken from
the interior of small meteorites.
Then, too, there is in existence a
diamond of fair size taken from a
meteorite near Tucson, Ariz. -

c. NJ. Cheney is having constructed
on his oat land two miles east of
Shellman a dipping vat for dipping
cattle, horses, hogs and goats. When
finished Mr.. Cheney will name a day
and will invite all who are interested
in live stock to come out and witness
the process. The object of these watts
is the eradication of the cattle tick
or any other parasite which infects
all farm animals. Mr.. Cheney will
have about 200 head of animals to
dip. 1t will be an interesting sight
to those who have never witnessed
it.-Shellman Sun.

The treasury department at Wash

The treasury department at Wash
ington is very much disappointed
with the amount the government will
receive from the income tax. Treas
ury experts estimated that the tax
would yield about $54,O00,OOO, but
indications now are that it will not
exceed $3O,00O,OOO. 1t isn't at all
remarkable, therefore, that there
should be disappointment. 1t is
claimed that those liable for the tax
failed to make returns and others
made inaccurate returns.

avenue the second Saturday morning
in May. It was SO early that the
stores were not open. The charm
of springtime. Of tender green leaves,
early blossoms and even the song of
birds gave the town a little of the
grace and beauty of the country at
this hour of slanting sunbeams and
dewy fragrance.
The street car stopped at the in
tersection Of College and Mountain
avenues and a little lady carrying q
large green box stepped of and hur-
rying past Charlie. turned the key
in the door Of The Flower Store, and
disappeared within.
Charlie stopped to admire the At.
tractive show windows Of the shop.
In one. the figure Of q gray haired
woman, surrounded BY blossoms ap.
parently reading q letter. The in.
scription read. Flowers for Mother. :"
In the opposite window was q white
tablet crowned by q laurel wreath and
inscribed, Sacred to Mothers Mem.
ory." Beneath we're the words Wear
a White Flower for Mothers Memory,
while across the door hung plac-
ard, Mothers Day, May a."
Charlie paused irresolute; the for
list lady smiled encourag ingly through
the glass.
He walked on half block, then
came back and opened the door. Do
you deliver flowers? She assured him
that they did. .
Give me dozen of your finest car
nations, pink and white and some
smilax, he laid dollar on the table.
She handed him card and envelope
What's that for?
Will you not write q message to
accompany the flowers?
4 had not thought Of that, he unused.
Presently he sat down and wrote
something on the card, put It in the
envelope and sealed It. The name
on the envelope was familiar one to
the florist lady.
You are a stranger here, she in
ferred.

Grain, Flour and Feed.

Wheat-The wheat situation is very
weak this week and the price on all
grades is of from TO cents. Blue
stem is quoted at S41ac, club 7slac
and red Russian 771ac. There was
some movement toward Japan, and,
while California is still in the market,
they are out for only choice stocks,
New business still seems to be rather
light and millers are apparently I'M
der the impression that the stocks on
hand will be ample for all require
ments until new crop comes to hand.
The developments have worked along
lines that have kept prices very
closely adjusted to commercial condi-
tons and in consumptive market
maintained on a most conservative
basis.
Flour-The price of all local brands
of flour has been advanced $50 Per
barrel, making the price for firsts
$500 and seconds $4.65. At that the
flour trade is quiet, yet the lnillers
continue to sell enough to keep the
mills in operation on half or better
time. Most of the business is in small
lots, as it seems to be the idea of
buyers to take only what is needed
for immediate requirements.
Feed-Prices are holding firm at
present quotations and there is appar-
emily a good movement in all lines.
Buyers are not loading up on any
kind but their need of bran seems
to be the greatest.
