4 COMMITTEE MEETING is CALLED
Chairman Harris Will Resign at
Meeting to Be Held Friday.
Wants Rules Changed.

ATLANTA.-Chairman William j.
Harris of the state democratic exec
utive committee, candidate for gov
ernor, has issued call assembling
the committee in the Kimball House
in Atlanta at II a. m, on Friday,
July Bird, to consider the matter of a
second primary. incidentally Mr..
Harris will tender his resignation as
chairman of the committee at this
meeting.
The chairman in lengthy letter
to the sixty-odd members of the state
committee, expressed the view that
Thomas E. Watson, whom the chair
man designated as the "arch enemy
of democracy in Georgia, might be
able to control the delegations of
some twenty-five counties in the
event of a deadlocked convention,
and for that reason the chairman
thinks second primary should be
considered by the committee.

These creatures are generally about
twice the size of Shetland ponies.
Every year the herd owners drive the
ponies into pens, brand the foals with
the proper mark and catch some of
the older animals to sell to the deal
ers. North Carolinians say the
animals must be starved into eating
grain, hay or grass, for they have
always lived on the rank salt marsh
grass of the marshes and on fish.
They catch the fish themselves at
low tide. With their hoofs they dig
deep holes in the sand below high
water mark, and when the tide falls
they greedily devour the fish that are
stranded in these holes. Often they
fight briskly over an especially
tempting morsel.
In captivity these strange horses
are intelligent, but seldom are even
in temper. Once trained, they make
excellent draft animals, for they have
a strength that is disproportionate to
their size. Foals bred from the po-
MES in captivity make valuable ami
mals-strong and intelligent.

One YARD OF KISS ENOUGH FOR Her
Movie Censor, Mrs. Cyrus Niver, Says
They Must Not Last Longer Than
Thirty-Six Seconds.
the labor unions

A Philadelphia item in the World
says that Mrs. Cyrus Niver, the only
woman member of the new state
moving picture censorship board, has
come to the conclusion that one yard
of film is long enough for any kiss,
after several weeks spent in passing
on thousands of yards of love drama
films.
Love scenes and historic romances,
thrilling escapes and runaways, har-
rowing deathbed repentances and
wild Opponents, the excess of pow
erty and the extreme of death, all
pass in review before her. She judges
each film from the viewpoint of ado
lescence.
VIII it harm the child? What eff
feet will it have on the grown boy
or girl4 These are the questions Mrs.
Niver ask herself.
She has sat through yards and
yards of kisses of every variety, and
her ultimatum, after watching an
embrace which occupied five yards OF
film, was that four yards should be
eliminated and that the young people
should be torn from each other after
SO seconds of OSCILLATION.

west VIRGINIA IS DRY.
GREAT PREPARATION FOR THE
CHANGE EFFECTIVE JULY 1.
New Law Provides Liquor Dealers
Must Have Disposed of Stock By
Midnight of June Both.

"A camel can go nine days without
a drink, but after July l you'll have
to beat the camel" is a sign displayed
in most of the saloons in West Vir-
ginia at the present hour, for on
tomorrow that state becomes prohi
bition territory. Saloon men, con-
sumers and legislators are preparing
for the change. AS a result of the
prohibition law there will be heavy
loss of revenue.
Some of the breweries of the state
are now to convert themselves into
cold storage plants, while the largest
brewery is to engage in the pork
packing business. Many saloOnkeep-
ers intend to move into Kentucky and
other states and continue in business,
while others will engage in other
lines of work.
AS the new law prohibits the ad-
vertising of intoxicants within the
state painters are busy in making
over the bill boards out in the coun-
try and adapting them to other bust
nesses. There are great bargains Of
fered in all kinds of "wet" goods
throughout the state and those who
do not wish to enter the camel class
are liberal purchasers. Citizens, how
eer, may have wines, beers and other
shipped to them from
other states, but only for their own
consumption.
The new law provides that all
liquor dealers must have disposed of
all their stocks by midnight on June
80. and the last day under the old
law is expected to be the busiest in
the history of the state. The patrons
of the saloons will celebrate the last
hours of the day in one grand ca
rousal. while the prohibitionists will
hold another kind of celebration
and parade the streets to the music
Of bands and the ringing of church
bells.

A GOD TREE OF FORMOsA.
A Forest Monarch Said BY Natural
lists to Be 1000 Years Old.


Among the oldest living things on
earth are the giant God trees of
Formosa-that savage and mysteri-
Gus island which fell to Japan in the
war with China. These Methusale4s
of the forest of the world are found
chiefly upon the slopes of Mount Ari,
the central mountain peak which
dominates the strange land of Tai
wan. The God trees 'shimbo-
kus" they are called by the natives
are regarded with reverence by the
savage, head-hunting Malayan aborig-
inees of the interior To them
the trees are sacred, as the name i'm
plies. Few white persons have ever
gazed upon these mighty forest mon
archs. as travelling in the mountain
regions of the island is fraught with
peril unless the wanderer is accom-
panied by large and well armed es-
cort. which is exceedingly difficult to
obtain in that forgotten corner OF
the universe. Even the legions of
japan are subject to ambush and at
tack at all times by the head-hunters
who are familiar with every foot OF
the country.

HOGS ARE DYING NYSTERIOUSLY
Ice Cream Salt and Cookie BUrrs
Suggested as Possible Cause.


Suggested as Possible Cause.
The SheIIman Sun reports that w.
J. Oliver had the misfortune to lose
eight nice shoats Sunday night, find
ing them dead in his lot. They had
not lacked attention at any time, and
the cause of their death is mystery.
Upon investigation Mr.. Oliver found
that one of his employees had empt1ed
brine from a cream freezer where the
hogs had access to it, and is inclined
to think they ate of it and died from
the effects. 1t is not known here
that this would poison hogs, but in
vestigation will be made to ascertain
about this. 1t mas also been sug-
gested that cookie burr plants are
poisonous to hogs, and as they grow
where these hogs grazed an inves-
tigation will be made as to that also

WANTED NO MORNONS::
DRIVEN OUT OF TOWN
A BRUNSWICK CROWD ESCORTS
THREE PREACHERS OF THAT
FAITH TO THE TRAIN.
THEIR TENT WAS TORN DOWN

Protests From the Preachers Hasten
Work of the Crowd. Dray Was i'm
Waiting TO Carry the Luggage to
Nearest Railroad Station.
BRUNSWICK, GA crowd of
between seventy-five and one hun
dred Brunswick citizens, represent
ing all classes and sections of the
city, last night went to a little tent
in which three Mormon preachers
have been conducting services in this
city for the past week and told them
that they would have to leave.
These Mormons came to Bruins
wick ten days ago, pitched their tent
in the northern section of the city
and have since been holding services
and the congregation has steadily
increased. Citizens objected to the
Mormon doctrine being preached in
this city, and last night these citi-
zens met, named a spokesman and
went to the tent. They waited until
the evenings services we're over and
all of the congregation had left the
church. Then the spokesman inform
ed the Mormons that they would have
to leave Brunswick; that they could
not longer preach their doctrine in
this city. The preachers at first OBJ
jected, saying that there was no law
by which they could be stopped and
they did not want to leave. The
crowd, however, insisted, and told
them law or no law they must go.
The Mormons then asked how
much time they would be given, and
the spokesman told them long enough
to pack their tent and get out, and
the crowd started the work of re-
moving the tent. In avery few min
utes it was down, benches and all,
on a dray and before midnight it had
been removed to the four-mile cross
ing. The Mormons followed their
luggage.

FREEDOM FOR BUSINESS
IS OBJECT OF THE ADMINISTRA-
TION'S TRUST LEGISLATION.
President Wilson Tells Party of Edi-
tors His Program Will Not Be
POSTPONED by Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. ca new
constitution of freedom for business"
is the object of the administration
trust legislation program, President
Wilson declared, addressing a party
of Virginia editors at the white
house. He predicted the country was
on the verge of a great business re-
vival.
President Wilson said he would
absolutely insist that his antitrust
program be passed at the present ses-
sion of congress and that his infor-
nation was that congress was behind
him. He declared that temporary
business depression at present was
sure to pass as soon as bushes re-
allied that the antitrust legislation
is sure to be enacted.
Business Uneasy.
For ten years, the president said,
business has been uneasy because of
attacks on it. He contended that his
administration was the first in years
that had been the real friends of bust
ness and he added that his admins
tration was going to prove his friend
ship by clearing away all anxiety
among business men over what was
to come.
The president spoke with great
earnestness, emphasizing his words
with vigorous gestures. He declared
that through governmental agencies
and through an excessive correspond
ence he believed the administration
to be better able to judge conditions
than anyone else in the country. He
compared the condition of business
to a man about to undergo an opera
ton, and who fears that it will be
capital one. He added that it had
become apparent that only minor OPP
erations were necessary and that it
would be dangerous to postpone
them.
Nothing would be more unfair to
business, the president declared, than
to keep it guessing. He said the ad
ministration was in power with a def
mite program of corrective legisla
ton. was ready and determined to go
ahead with that program, During
the tendency of the tariff and cur
rcncy bill, he said, business shivered,
bu; there were no serious effects. He
declared that there was no reason to
think that the result would be more
serious after abe antitrust bills are
