No Trouble About Shipping
Cotton to Germany
Special to The Leader Enterprise.

W.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 26. The
State Department, through Robt.
Lansing, counselor, has advised
Senator Hoke Smith that there
will be no trouble about shipping
cotton to Germany through Hol-
land.
The American Minister at the
Hague has informed the state de-
partment that cotton shipped
through Holland for Germany
will be regarded as sin transit"
and that the same rule will apply
to all non-contraband goods.
The British government has
given the fullest assurances re-
garding shipments of commodities
not on the contraband list such
as cotton, tobacco, turpentine and
fOSln, ana is IN no way reSDOn-
sible for any adverse suggestions
or threats by merchants or insur-
ance men in the United States or
other countries.
Under these circumstances,
Senator Smith believes that cot
ton merchants should be able
speedily to arrange for shipments
into Germany. Germany and
Austria are nearly out of cotton
and are prepared to consume over
a hundred thousand bales a
month. Information from Ger
many indicates that at the pres
ent time they are ready to buy
five hundred thousand bales.

 NASTY CALOMEL
It saIivates! It makes you sick and
 you may lGse a days work.

You're bilious, sluggish. constipated and believe you need vile, dangerous calomel to start yt nd clean your bowels.
 Here'~ my guarantee. Ask your druggist for a 50 cent bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone and take spoonful tonight If it doesn't start your liver and straighten you right up better than calomel and without griping or making you sick want you to go back to the sore and get yeur money.
 Take calomel tolay and tomorrow you will feel weak and sick and nau- seated. Don't lose days work. Take spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and wake up feeling great. It's perfectly harm less, so give. it to your children any time. It can't salivate, so let them eat anything afterwards.

Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-A pro]ec. mas been launched here locking toWaru the establishment in this city of cotton mill. That the city offer a free site on the river close to the rallroao' 100 bales of cotton and operating ex- penses for six months is the proposl- tion. This means bonus Of nearly S15,000.
 President J. A. Couch of the Arkan- sas Power company is the maln pro- moter of the scheme and is making the offer of six months free power to such plant. He also agrees to ad- vertise the project.

TWO SPECIMEN PARK BRIDGES

with all aestheticaIly ugly bridge can not be expected to avoid imlMrfectiOns in the practical Si..e of the bridges de sign.
 The great importunce thus of the bridge. both ill the practical and aesthetic life of the city. demands that it's design and construction receive the utmost t.:ire and attention. \o single part of the plan of q city. with the OK caption of the civic center is of great er importance than it's bridges. The civic center may be likcned to the main hallway of q building and the bridges to the portals Often the first impression of q city and frequently the most lasting one is gained from a bridge. and aS tue entrance to the city it should be treated with the dignity it deserves and be made Il feature of the ,ity'S plan rather than d mere en croachment of a Gtilitarian nature.
 A bridge should he considered aes- :hetically from three principal points of view: The bridge itself. the bridge !n its relation to it's approaches. and the whnle effect of the bridge and it's approaches in relation to it's environ inent.
 In its design it should he regarded as an integral part of the city'S plan and it should hc located in reference tu the whole plan of tue city in such a way as to produce the most efficient and pleasing result. X bridge may for example serve as n terminal or focal of m important avenue or for several converging avenues. full advantage thns being taken of it's architectural importance.
 It's location having been ,.2termined the bridge itself should be of such a design aS to meet in the most direct it will be called upon to fulfill. and its approaches should he of such char scter as to enhance it's value rather than, as is often the case. of such q character as to detract if not ruin it's entire effect.
 In order to achieve the proper result it Is necessary for the bridge engineer to co operate with the architect ill the design of the bridge and it's approaches and with the city pianner or civic architect in it's relations to the plan of the city as Il whole. Unless this is done. bridges will continue to be ugly. misplaced and i'll suited to their pur poses.
 In the aesthetic design of bridge it should be remembered that the bridge is work of architectural art and that as such it should conform in its own field with the general principles of ar tisti, design which have been noted a> being the rules of city planning in gen eral.
 The first principle is that of unit. 'rhp bridge with its approaches shouh produce the impression of bein. sin gle homogeneous structure.

FISH FARMING HERE

washington.-"Fish farming is a
rapidly growing industry throughout
the United States The up to date
fish farmers fihd a ready market for
young fish and eggs and for food and
game 1sh. The government and the
states purchase large quantities or
eggs and fry rom fish farmers every
year. Private clubs with their own

nish a market ~, good prices for eggs

food and game fishes Is a profitable
one. This Is particularly true OF trout

OF this fish particularly attractive"

cries. made this statement Commls'

by these means Is growing by leaps

''In addition to the fish farmers who

large numbers OF farmers all over the
country who have come 10 realize the
valne OF the private fish pond as a
source OF food supply. With better
realization OF the benefits accruing
from the maintenance OF fish ponds
on farms as an inexpensive and ready
food supply for home consumption. the
demand for black bass. crappies. sun
fish. catfish and other species adapted

only through natural reproduction. is
increasing out OF all proportion to the
annual supply available.
During the fiscal year that ended
June 30. 1913. the total production and
output OF food and game fishes by
