ONE MEASURE OF RELIEF

Cotton Receipts as Good as
Currency

Washington, D. c., Aug. 11.-Three

ropean war were introduced in the
senate today. Under the amend
ments cotton and other staple

which currency could be issued up
to rs per cent. of their value; the lin
it of currency to be issued on commeS-
cial paper would be increased from
80 per cent. to So per cent and the
state banks would be so defined as to

PUBLIC HEALTH BILL
PASSED BY SENATE

Atlanta, Aug. 11-One of the most
important measures of the present
legislative session, the new public
health bill by Mr.. Ellis, Of Tiff, which
has already passed the house, was
passed by the senate by a vote of "a
to 6, and now needs only the govern
or's signature to make it a law. The
senate did not materially change the
bill, but did amend it by striking out
that portion which would have permit
ted the state board of health to de-
clare quarantine in any county where
it regarded such a measure necessary
and where the county authorities re-
fused to act.
When the house concurs in this
amendment the measure will go to
the governor. The bill provides for a
state board of health composed of fif-
teen members, three of whom, the Sec
retary of the state board, the state vet
erinarian and the state school superin-
tendent, shall be members by virtue
of their offices, and twelve others,
who shall be appointed by the gov
ernor, one from each congressional
district, the majority of whom shall
be physicians.
The measure provides that the pres
ent members of the state board of
health shall continue to serve until
their terms expire.
The bill provides for an organiza-
ton of county board of health in each
county of the state to consist of three
members and to be created at the op
ton of the counties. The state board
is given cooperative control over the
county boards The bill also divides
the state into sanitary districts OF
approximately $4,000 inhabitants eacl
The county boards are given supe.-
vision over sanitation and health con.
ditions in their respective counties
They have authority to enforce clean
liness on private premises and in pub
lie buildings.

LIEGE FORTS ARE
STILL HOLDING OUT

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 11.-(Speclal)
in and around Liege the situation
was unchanged today. The Germans
held the town itself, but the forts were
still fighting strongly. The German
main army in the north was reported
entrenching itself on the Ourthe while
two large divisions of cavalry had
reached Tongres, north of Liege. 1t
was expected a general advance was
in preparation, and battle imminent
in which the Germans would be con-
fronted by the allied Belgians, French
and British.
Reports came through Of sharp en-
counters along the Austro-Russian
frontier. Austrian troops were said
TO have taken Miechow in Russian Po-
land, and official announcement was
made at St. Petersburg that the Rus
SLAMS had dislodged the Austrian force
at zaletche, in Austrian Galicia.

KAILOR REMAINS
IN CONFINEMENT
COURT CONVENES
DIDN'T Want HEARING NOW
Case IS Deferred Until No.
VGmbGr Court

Ivey Kailor, the white man in Jail
here, charged with murder in the
killing of the old negro, Stephen
Clarke, near Americus ten days ago,
prefers to remain in Jail until the
November term of court, rather than
have preliminary trial of his case at
this time. Yesterday was the date set
for the preliminary trial of Kailor, but
he waived examination at this time
and the case now awaits the grand
jury. This is the second time that a
preliminary hearing has been deferred
in this case. Many residents of the
Fifteenth district, where the homicide
was committed, appeared again yes
terday, as on the previous date, but
their testimony was not required. The
old negro, Clarke, aged sixty-five
years, was shot dead in his own house
on Sunday morning, August 1st, as he
sat peacefully eating a watermelon,
five bullets entering his body and pro-
ducing instant death.

NO Clue TO MlSCREANT
WHO STOLE THE engine
SeabOard Officials and Sheriff.
Still Busy

Although every effort is being made
by the Seaboard Air Line officials,
their special police force and the
members of the Savannah detective
department to solve the mystery of
the theft of the Sea5oard engine Sat
urday night, no clue has been found
to the guilty parties. The story of
this remarkable theft of a locomotive
and the successful manner in which
the thief ran it distance of twenty
miles, as told in the Times-Recorder
was of interest here. In Savannah the
belief prevails that discharged negro
fireman did the job in spirit of re-
venge.

The plan suggested, to secure CO.

new federal reserve system is, sub
stantially, as follows:
The farmer or cotton planter to have
the right to go to a bank on or after
September 1st, and arrange to borrow
at the rate of ten cents per pound on
the cotton which he raised on his
farm, the valuation to be based on
middIing cotton, the loan to be made
for period of six months, with priv
ilege of renewal for six months addi-
tional, the cotton to be stored in
manner meeting with the approval of
the bank, the bank to have the right
to discount the note in a reserve bank,
and the note given to contain the stip-
ulation that the farmer making the
note would next year plant in cotton
only one half the acreage which lie
planted this year, not exceeding Is
acres per plow in any event, and to
plant the balance in corn or other
grain or forage; the farmers note to
mature at any time within the second
six months, and to become payable at
the option of the bank If it is found
that the farmer has not complied with
the stipulations of this agreement.
The result of this conference in
Washington is awaited with earnest
interest in Georgia and the cotton
growing South.
