FIRST CAR FOR
MOUNTAIN VILLAGE

Atlanta, July 30.-A local auto deal
er had unique experience this week
when he sold the first machine to be
purchased by resident of Towns
county. DR.. V. NJ. Waldrop bought the
machine, and says some of his neigh
bors are likely to take to the woods
when they hear it coming. The county
is a mountainous one and the doctor
will find need of car which is COM
bination of mule and billy-goat.
Towns is the only county in Georgia
which has kept the distinction so far
of not having single automobile in
side its borders.

.SICKLES Home
UNDER HAMMER

New York, July 30-The former
nome of General Daniel E. Sickles on
Fifth Avenue, will be sold at auction
today, a step made necessary by the
foreclosure proceedings instituted by
the Bowery Savings Bank. About a
year ago the bank started its actions
TO recover a loan with which interest
amounts to about $4,000. while back
taxes and assessments against the
house increase the amount by about
$4,000. Friends of the old General
came forward at that time and by pay
ing the interest due, temporarily stop
ped the foreclosure.

DON'T TAKE CALOMLL...
HERBS A BETTER REMEDY

Taking calomel is mighty risky
and oftentimes dangerous.
You ought to get along without
taking calomel yourself or giving it
to your family, when you can get a
remedy that takes its place. bod
sons Liver Tone is an agreeable
vegetable liquid that starts the liver
to action just as surely as ca,omel
does. But, unlike calomel, Dodson's
Liver Tone does not stimulate the
liver too much. 1t gives relief
gently Calomel acts so strongly
that it may leave you worse than
you were at 1irst, and calomel also
sometimes causes salvation. Dod-
sons Liver Tone works well and
never harms.
A large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone is sold for fifty cents by Hooks
Pharmacy, and Howells Pharmacy,
and w. A. Rembert, druggist. 1t al
ways has given such perfect satisfac-
ton that your money will be given
back to you with smile if you buy Il
bottle and are not perfectly satisfied
with it in every way. advt

Submarines.

Secretary Daniels depreciation of the
submarine in his testimony before the
House naval affairs committee is some
" hat surprising in view of the fact
that most of the successes of the Ger
man navy in the present war have been
due TO the effectiveness of their sub
merged craft. This may be due to the
peculiar situation. with the major Ger
man fleet virtually bottled up in the
Baltic, and active operations confined
TO the submarines and destroyers, espe-
cially the former. 1t is true that in
the fight off Chile, in which the Ger
mans were victorious. and that off the
Falkland Islands. which was a British
success. only major ships participated,
both of these engagements having oc-
CURED at great distance from the home
bases. A major sea fight in waters ad-
jacent to both British and German
bases is yet to occur. and the value of
the submarine in such circumstances
remains to be demonstrated Neverthe-
less, the moral effect of the German
submarine activities in this war can
not be denied. Even though the Bull
wark. sunk at Sheerness in the mouth
of the Thames. may not have been the
victim of a German submarine ii has
been accredited as such in the public
mind ind the influence of such a
.ftonght upon the morale of the British
navy cannot be ignored 1t is probable
that Secretary Daniels refusal of high
credit to the submarine principle would
be sharply challenged by British and
German naval authorities II the matter
lwere submitted to them for judgment

Don't Kick on the Weather.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.
This is an unusually prolonged spell
of disagreeable weather we have been
having But don't kick! 1t has its uses.
The rain was needed--perhaps not
herea bout for Immediate wants, but for
the coming year. We have been run
ming short of normal precipitation in
1914, and it is mighty good thing
that what has been showered upon us
has been spread over number of days.
For thus it sinks into the soil and ac-
complishes lasting purpose later on.
Out in Kansas they would give their
eye teeth for a similar visitation of
Providence. The danger there is that
the abnormal crops of 1914 will be
followed in 1915 by drought. 1t
seems strange that the fortunate
Kansan should have been worrying
through this fall about next year,
but such Is the case. Unless they get
soaking rains-not cloudbursts or vio-
lent downpours-th autumn or early
winter preceding, there is small posi-
bility of bountiful harvests in the
summer following.
Here at home there is concrete and
prompt value in the rains of the past
week for the river coal trade.

cars forces In order to relieve perma-
nently the pressure on that front. in Or
der to concentrate upon the allies in the
west.
One handicapping factor in the eastern
campaign, seriously affecting German
chances. Is the fact that there is no
supreme objective within easy reach of
the German columns. Warsaw is. it is
true. comparatively accessible. but the
capture of Warsaw would not greatly
affect the campaign AS long as the
Russian armies remain relatively intact
they are a grave menace to German Sc
curity, no matter how far back from the
frontier they may be forced. They have
now been pressed backward three times,
and still they stand as threat TO the
integrity of the German territory. Their
persistence in returning to the attack
whenever the pressure on them Is re-
lieved temporarily or whenever the Ger
man aggressive fails in its immediate
object has resulted in a complete change
OF the German tactics. For nearly SIX
weeks 1t has been necessary for the
kaiser's general staff to deal chiefly with
the situation in the east instead OF CEN
tering all the Teutonic force against the
French and English in the west.
Meanwhile there is no token OF mate
rial change in the western field. The al
lies are reported from time to time TO
have taken German trenches, and now It
Is unofficially stated that Armentieres
and Roulers have been captured. But
there is no sign of a general advance
Evidently the British and French COM
manders are waiting for the accumula-
ton of 6ufficient forces to permit an at
tack which cannot be resisted, to drive
the German line out Of France II pos
sible and perhaps to send 1t back even
to the German frontier.

Senator Burton announces opposition

count, has since been on the list under
discussion in connection with the next
republican presidential nomination.

Overheard at Oyster Bay.

A statesman took a promenade
Where oysters roam SO free.
To them he whispered, I'm afraid
They're getting tired Of me:
The pace SO active that / led,
I fear, is getting SLOW.
A large old oyster grinned and said:
Just think of Uncle joe"
An oyster is hermit wise,
With naught to do but think.
He would, no doubt. if he had eyes,
Give many knowing wink.
Quoth he: Though simple is my past,
A thing or two / know.
Just think things over as you cast
A glance on Uncle Joe.
although the frost of years may lie
On tresses once so fair,
Old age cannot be measured by
The whiskers or the hair.
Afar each shadow soon must fit
From heart and brain aglow.
