BRITISH COURT DECIDES
/" BUzzNG TELEPHONES
WRECK NERVES

Berlin, July 7.-Buzzing, rafting,
and other unusual noises in a tele-
phone may so affect ones nerves as to
make him an invalid, and such cases
are covered by accident insurance pol
icies, according to ruling by the i'm
perial supreme court.
" The case came on appeal from a
judgment against an insurance COM
pany. The defendant contended that
the plaintiff was of neurasthenic pre-
disposition, and that the effect of un-
usual telephone noises upon him was
psychic effect" which was not coy-
cred by an accident insurance policy
1t could not be denied, said the
court, that many objections could De
urged to the plaintiffs claim 1t might
be quetioned whether his invalidis Il
was not due to Imagination, fo!lowil g
disturbances which-as he asserted
had the effect upon him of a severe
electric shock. Nevertheless, it could
rot be assumed that there was a great
probability that the noises complain ed
Of had such a shattering effect UPON
The plaintiffs nerves that his subse-
quent maladies could properly be con-
sidered as due to an accident within
the terms of his accident policy.

diately, and 200 persons started the
search.
Shortly before o'clock this mornirg G
the father found the boy. He had lain

MITCHELL STIRRED OVER

ed.

Thomasville, Ca, July THE people
of Mitchell county are very much STIR
red up over the creation of new coun-
ties from parts of that county, as there
are two bills pending before the legis-
lature for that purpose, both of which,
if passed, would affect Mitchell. One
of these is the Griggs county bill
which cuts off the northeast corner OF
Mitchell, and the other is the Hansell
county bill, which cuts off the south
portion of the county, coming within
three miles of Camilla and taking, il
is stated, practically third of tht
wealth, population and territory of the
county.
A mass meeting of citizens of tn;
county has been called to take steps
to fight these measures, which it is be
|lieved will materially iniure the coun.
ty If passed.

VETERANS ASK
PERMISSION TO
ASSEMBLE MACON
TO DEFRAY Own EXPENSES
Action Of Camp Sumter In
Premises

Asking nothing of the city except
hall in which the few remaining old
heroes may assemble in annual reun-
ion, asking no entertainment or other
courtesyt he Confederate veterans of
Georgia, if they follow the suggestion
of their comrades of Camp Sumter, u.
c. ", of Americus, will hold their an
nual meeting in Macon; transact any
business necessary to the good of the
organization, and then, with character
istic dignity, adjourn.
The following resolution offered by
Comrade ]. r. Britton, was adopted by
Camp Sumter, 642, U. C. ", at it's reg
ular meeting yesterday:
Resolved, That inasmuch as the Geor
gia Division, U. c. ", has not, up to
this time, received an invitation from
any city to hold the state reunion.
Therefore, Camp Sumter 642, favors
meeting annually in the city of Macon,
Georgia, because Macon is more CEN
trally located, and all we ask of the
city is to furnish us hall to hold our
meetings.
The resolution was adopted, and tie
veterans adjourned Surely their "alI
we ask" of Macon will be cheerfully
supplied and more, for nowhere else
in Georgia is the old Confederate hero,
the soldier of the sixties, loved and re-
vered more than by the people of Ma
lcon, about which city cluster many
precious memories of the Confederacy
and the men who made it. -

AMERICUS SURE
SEVERAL BALES
COTTON SHORTLY
JULY COTTON IN PROSPECT
Sumter Crop Well Advanced
This Season

Americus warehousemen are conf
IDENTIFY counting upon several bales of
July cotton of the new crop, which be-
sides being the finest in several years,
is from ten days to two weeks ahead
of last season'se xcellent crop. On
many farms near AmeIicus, the cot
ton bolls have attained full growth,
and very soon will be showing the
opening staple.
The crop prospect here is. indeed,
fattering, and with no unfavorable
weather will be fully up to the normal
of a Sumter crop-40,000 bales.
The receipt of any number of July
bales this season will be the first in
ten or twelve years. The late c. E,
Clay, one of Sumter's most progressive
planters, marketed on July 23rd o.
that year the last July bale brought
to Americus.
Last seasons first bale, that of the
crop of 1913 was marketed August 5th
by A. A. Forrest, Sumter's first-bale
man, who likewise brought in the first
1912 bale on August Cd. Mr.. Forrest
has brought in the first bale at Amer
icus during several seasons, and will
in all probability, bring in the frs
one this year.
With a good crop prospect ana
good prices, the farmers of soutf
Georgia are feeling very much elatet
and will have money to spare in thu
fail.

GEORGIA GETS
LARGE CLUSTER
COUNTIES ADDED
MANY new COUNTIES LIKELY
Number May Soon Run to
100 CT More

Atlanta, July THE passage this
week of the constitutional amenC.
ment creating Barrow county, with
Winder as the county seat, now gives
Georgia total of 149 counties, OF
more counties than any other state
in the union, except Texas, which is
aobut five times as large.
The situation has naturally brought
up the question as to how many
counties Georgia should have.
Some think the state should quit al
$50, and call a final halt by constitu-
tional limitation. Others are of th5
opinion that all of the large and grow
ing towns which are situated at dis
tance from the present seat of the
counties in which they are now locat-
ed, should be given a new county.
There were some fifteen or twenty new
county applications pending before the
Legislature last summer. Few OF thes ;
have, so far, made their appearanc2
this year, but the probability is thnt
the success of Barrow will attract
them here.
There are several new county prop
ositions now pending before the leg
islature, and every effort is going TO
be made to put them through. The
bill for the creation Of Gambler coun-
ty, with Meter as the county seat,
will come up in the house this week,
and there is every reason to believe
that it will go through.
Another strong new county prop
osition which has received consider
able Endorsement and encouragement,
is that for the creation Of Bacon
county, to be named in honor of the
late Senator Bacon, with Alma AS
the county seat. Alma is about TWEEN
ty-fve miles from all the county seats
in the counties around it, and is one
of the most prosperous and progress
sive towns in the southern section.
The hackers of Tate county belle e
they have strong case, too. Tate
proposes to take small sections of
five counties way up in the north
ern section Of the State, with Tate
as the county seat. At Tate are To-
Gated the famous Georgia marble quar-
ries.
