PRIMARY ELECTIONS

Washington, D. c., Aug 4.-Stste-
wide priarmy elections are being he'd
today in the states of Florida, Kansas
and Missouri. In Kansas, politicians
Of all porties have been worried over
the refusal of the women voters to
register, which prevented the casting
of their votes today: leaving the sit
uation rather mixed to the followers
of the various parties. The women dis
played a seeming indifference to reg
istering which has awakened the
wonder of the various party leaders.
In Missouri the first clash between
the Major Democratic forces of the
state and the Old Guard Democrats
will take place at the primaries to-
day, when the first direct vote for
Senator in Missouri will be taken.

Gated in the comparison of receipts

disputable evidence of the CONNER

For instance, the postal receipts for
the month cf July, just ended, was
an increase of 1895 over July, 1913. a
very considerable gain for a dull
summer month. The busy fall months
should show an even greater increase
in the volume of business.
An addition. to the clerical force was
necissitated few weeks since, and
it is hoped that continued increase of
business through the autumn anc
busy winter months may warrant a
still further increase of force at, the

SHEPPARD CHILD LABOR
BILL BEFORE SENATE

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 4.-The most ex-

this week is the Sheppard child labor
bill, which has yet to pass the senate.
Mill owners, fearing its passage, Sc
cured a hearing late yesterday after
noon before the senate committee on
commerce and labor and urged amend
ments which would greatly weaken the
bill. 1t is expected to bring hot
fight in the senate, where the members
as a whole are not so easily moved by
oratory and sentiment as in the
house. +
The house today renewed its de-
bate on the quarter-master general
bill, intended to abolish the Office or
to substitute the rank of major tor
that of general. 1t passed yesterday
the bill to elect judges of. the Atlanta
municipal court by the people and de-
feated the bill to put solicitors general
on salary instead Of fees.
The senate yesterday passed more
local bills than ever before in its
history. .

PRESIDENT STATE CHAMBER
URGES FARMERS To PLANT
FALL GARDENS IMMEDIATELY
Would Offset Results of War Faras Possible By Hauing Ceor
gia Raise as Much Foodstufs as Possible For Fall
And Winter Use

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 4.-(Special)--
On his return from an extended trip
through the East, on which he talked
with a number of financial authori-
ties in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore during the past few days
regarding the probable effect of the
European war on the South, President
G. j. Haden, of the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce, gave out the following
statement:
"The concensus of opinion is that
the war in Europe will be long one
compared with others of recent times,
and that it win be still longer before
industries OF Europe recover from the
terribly disastrous effects of the war
to such an extent that manufacturing
will be resumed on a normal basis
Also, there is sure to be an interrupt
tion of Transatlantic shipping, with
the result that the South's cotton WILL.
at the best, move much slower, and
in less volume than under usual con-
ditions. To provide against depression
all of our people, even those who have
only city lot or back-yards, should
plant whatever foodstuffs may be
brought to maturity before winter
frosts. Every dollar thus kept in
Georgia that would otherwise be sent
away for foodstuffs, will relieve the
pressure on our cotton fund. Natural
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-08-05

ly cotton would suffer in price from
the European war more than would
foodstuffs. The best way to protect
our cotton crop against slaughter
prices is to grow food at home"
When asked for list of fall crops,
H. G. Hastings, chairman of the COM
mittee on boil weevil and diversified
ton of the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce, said:
There are few field crops that can
be planted late in the season. In the
southern part of Georgia field peas
may reach maturity if planted imme-
diately and the fall is warm. About
all that can be done to raise foodstuffs
is to plant fall gardens. Bush beans,
pole beans, beets, caulifower, cabbage.
carrots, kale, lettuce, satisfy, eoi-
lards, mustard, onions, English peas,
radishes, turnips, spinach and, per-
haps, squash, can all be planted for
fall gardens. l hope that every farmer
will put in more oats this fall than
ever before. They will be a Godsend
in the spring when corn and hay be-
gin to give out, thus keeping the farm
er from being forced to sell his cat
tle."
Undoubtedly, if every farmer can
be persuaded to plant everything pos
sible for fall and winter use, what
would otherwise be very hurtful will
beturned ultimately into a blessing.

Kidney Pills cured these troubles, ton
