Another Proposed Canal.

Perhaps no waterway now project
ed promises to be Of more benefit
than the proposed Atlantic intra-
coastal route to reach all the way
from Boston to the mouth of the Rio
Grande.
The army engineers have planned
to take advantage of existing bays,
inlets, rivers, bayous and other water
ways lying just within the coast line
to link them together in such fashion
that they will provide a continuous
high way for canal boats and kindred
light craft along the coast from Bos-
ton to the Mexican border. Such a
waterway would permit freight to be
moved at a cost lower than is possible
today and it would enable vessels to
avoid the danger of navigation which
in the past have strewn the coast
with wrecks.
Congress has before it a bill for the
purchase of the existing Chesapeake
and Delaware canal, which would
form part of the proposed waterway
1t is proposed that the government
shall buy the canal for $4,000
and then enlarge it and improve
at an additional outlay of possibl
$4,000, 900.
The estimated cost of the proposes
waterway is SIZE, 100000.

Big SHIPMENT OF GOLD TO PARIS
Causes Much Comment in New
York Banking Circles.


NEW YORK.-Five million FIVE
hundred thousand dollars in gold
was engaged here for shipment to
Paris. The continued outflow from
this port to Europe has excited con-
siderable comment in banking cir
cles.
On the present movement, which
began a month ago, $30,000,0O0 has
been exported. Earlier in the year
100000 went out. OF the total
$22, 200 was in bars and the bal
ances in eagles and double eagles
taken from the sub-treasury.
Various reasons are given for the
drain on the American gold reserves.
The most plausible is that Europe is
taking our gold in exchange for the
resale of this country of about $780,
900 of our securities. That Europe,
particularly London, has been a
steady seller of Americans in moder-
ate volume for months past is the
testimony of competent observers.
Unsettled conditions in Paris and
eastern Europe contributed in no
small degree to the unloading Of our
securities abroad.

PhySiC for Love.

Everybody knows that the rejected
lover may suffer loss of appetite,
waste of tissue and depression of
spirit. An authority on the anatomy
of melancholy treats at length the
DecuIiar variety of melancholy due to
desDaired love and recounts its symp-
toms by the dozen. An eminent phi
Iosopher who was present at the cut
ting up of one who died for love re-
ported that his heart was combust,
his liver smoky, his lungs, dried up,
jnsomuch that he verify believed his
soul was either sodden or roasted
through the yehemency of loves
fire"
An English doctor holds that love
Is an intoxication of the nervous CEN
ters. The circulatory system may be
affected, especially if the patient is
young and is suffering from a first
attack.
If the disease is not speedily cured
love may lead to neurasthenia, and
even insanity; it also predisposes to
tuberculosis. 1t is high time, he says,
that we should think of deyising
purely medical treatment for love.
But the bacillus of love has not yet
been discovered, and so no vaccine is
Available for the cure of the disease.
We are left in the dark as to the eX-
act line of purely medical treat
ment" to be adopted for the cure Of
love. and we venture to think that it
will laugh at physics as it proverbi-
ally does at locksmiths.
The chief difficulty in the way OF
successful treatment lies in the fact
that the patient, as rule, does not
wish to be cured.

The United States supreme court
has affirmed the validity of the Geor-
gia headlight law, which was enacted
some years ago to safeguard the OPP
Grafton of trains and strengthen the
security of travel. Because the stat
ute applied to interstate as well as
interstate railroads, it became an OBJ
ject of sharp contention, the claim OF
the railroads being that the state had
no authority to regulate any affairs OF
interstate trade. 1t is a wholesome
law. Recent reports of the interstate
commerce commission show marked
decrease in the number of railway
casualties. During the final quarter
of 1913, the latest period for which
statistics are available, there were
386 fewer accidents, SAT injuries and
.175 fewer fatalities than in the cor
responding three months of the pre-
ceding year.

TRYING TO REDUCE RATES.
Case Likely to Reach United States
Supreme Court.

ATLANTA.-The effort of the
state railroad commission to bring
about reductions in local freight
rates in Georgia, on the larger sys-
TENS, amounting to about 10 per
cent, begun nine years ago, has just
reached the argument stage.
Nine years ago the railroad COM
mission passed three orders making
reductions in local rates on the Cen
trail of Georgia, the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Southern, but the OPP
Grafton of these orders was held up
Immediately by injunction proceed
ings in the United States court. A
period of depression came along, in
Guiding the panic of 1907, and for
a number Of years no serious setfort
has been made to press the cases to
hearing. Now, however, the COM
mission thinks the time has come
when these circulars should be put
into force.
The railroads involved are resist
ing the increases just as vigorously
now as they did nine years ago, and
they are basing their case now upon
the fact that it costs more to OPP
crate railroads than ever. Within
the last ten years, it is pointed out,
the cost of operations in Georgia has
increased from 70 cents to about 50
on the dollar, so that the railroads
contend that the enforcement of the
commission orders would be just
as confiscatory of their property now
as in 1905, if not more so.
The railroad commission is en-
leaoring to show that the roads are
earning relatively as much now as
in 1905, and that in view Of the fact
that business conditions are better,
there is no valid reason why the re-
auctions should not be enforced.
When the United States court gets
through with the case and renders
it's decision, there is sure to be an
appeal to the supreme court at Wash
ington, whatever the decision may
be. The prospects are, therefore,
that it will be a year or two yet be-
fore any final action in the case is
recorded.

Boosting Georgia Products.

To induce Georgia people to use
Georgia products and patronize home
industry, instead of sending away
millions of dollars annually to Other
! states, the Georgia Chamber of Com
MERGE hit upon the happy idea of hay-
i ing an annual feast day on which
nothing but Georgia-grown foods are
| to be eaten, and, as nearly as pos
sible, Georgia. made clothing worn
and Georgia articles used, the first
observance occurring on the 18th OF
last November in rs towns and cities,
and the second celebration has re-
Gently been announced to occur in
the coming November.
To enable GeOrgians to know what
their state produces and to put into
their hands the names and addresses
of producers and manufacturers from
home products-not only things to
eat, but manufactured goods of every
sort made in Georgia shops, factories,
IOuDUTleS, HILLS anu III INSTANTANEOUS
ndustries-may be obtained, the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce has
announced its intention to publish a
directory to cover all lines Of produc-
ton in the state. To that end every
one engaged in manufacturing of any
kind or the raising of agricultural
products for sale to the public is re-
quested to send to the headquarters
of the State Chamber of Commerce in
Atlanta the name, address and line
produced of every person so engaged.
All loyal Georgians, in any line of en-
deavor, are urged to aid in this move
ment by sending in all possible infor
nation as to producers; and also lists
of all products known by them to be
produced in Georgia with an accurate
description of the product to secure
correct listing.

VASHTI GIRL CAN'T BE FOUND
Strayed Away On Picnic With Pei
ham Boys. Mother Anxious to
Learn Her Whereabouts.

A 14-year-old girl of the Vashti
Home is missing and has been miss
ing for over a week. She went with
the girls of the home to a picnic on
the river on May 9th, and did not
return with the girls, having gone
away during the day with another
girl to meet some boys who were
camping there for the day. These
were from Pelham.
One of the girls returned after
spending a day and night in the
woods and said that she had awak-
ened at about II O'Clock that night
and found her companion, Miss Ella
Fry, gone The girl was seen in
Townsville the next day, but when
search was instituted it was found
that she had gone away again and
was headed north, walking on the
Moultrie road.
The superintendent is very anxious
to hear of her and asks that if any
town in this vicinity can report her
whereabouts, he would be glad to
know of it, as the girls mother in
Spartanburg, S. c., is very anxious to
hear from her. The girl wore a light
blue wash dress. She was of medium
height, IA years of age, light brown

RAISING THE OSTRICH.
Over Seven Thousand Valuable Birds
in the United States.

in the United States.
The first importation of ostriches
into the United States was made in
1882 from South Africa to Califor-
mia. Several other importations fol-
lowed.
The ostriches are no longer con-
fined to one locality, but are rapidly
spreading through the south and are
being successfully kept as far north
as Pennsylvania. Ostrich farms are
in California, Arizona, Texas, Arkan-
sas, Florida and Pennsylvania.
There are about 10 farms that have
more than 100 birds each, five farms
that have more than 400 birds each
and one farm that has more than
1000 birds. In all there are about
25 farms in the United States that
are making a business of ostrich
farming. The total aggregate of
birds on these % farms amounts to
about 100, of which $685. are in
Arizona.
Approximately 1900 of all the
birds are plucking birds and give on
an average one and one-fourth
pounds of feathers to the bird, which
figured at $40 a pound, gives some
idea of the value of the feather crop
of this country. Besides this, pair
of breeding birds will easily bring
$3.50 each.

With more than 100000 in
crease in the tax returns of public
service corporations and with the GER
tainty of a very great increase in
other tax returns it is evident that
for one year at least Georgia's income
is going to be more nearly common
surate with her wealth than probably
it has at any time in recent years.
The thing to do is to reduce the tax
rate instead of looking up ways to
spend the increased revenue. We
fear the tax burden will never be
lessened.
