nation of late planted. In the western
portions of the belt the first week of
the month was excessively wet. This
prevented any improvement in the
plants and made cultivation and plant

Better conditions prevailed during
the second week, the plant making
good progress in the eastern and cen

western portion the most favorable

are seeking motive for the murder
of Mrs. William Bailey of Hampstead

physicians story, oZ it was apparently
impossible to thrust hand through
from the outside.
Detectives later learned that a well
dressed young woman, greatly agi-
tated, took the first train away right
after the crime, and they are now
seeking her.

Georgia's Road System,

1t has been announced that gov
eminent officials are coming to GeOr-
gia this month to make a study Of
the excellent highways that are be-
ing built by the state convicts under
the direction of the prison commits
sion.
A joint arrangement has been per-
fected between the Office of public
roads and the public health service
for the study of convict camps, con-
Wet labor and highway construction,
and the excellent results obtained in
Georgia have attracted the attention
of the government departments
There is a growing tendency in other
states to follow Georgia's lead in put
ting the convicts on the highways.
The purpose of the government is
to determine the conditions and
methods by which the most satisfac-
tory results are obtained, and the
lines along which improvements may
best be inaugurated.

WASHINGTON AS A DIsTILLER.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
A letter written in the last year of
Washington life has just been dis
covered which shows that he was a
good business man to the last. In
1893 he was much interested in find
ing tenant for his distillery which
he was operating with his slaves, but
desired to be relieved of the manage
ment as well as of a mill. He Of
fered to lease slaves to run both es-
adjustments, but apparently never
succeeded.
In these days one would hardly eX-
pect a president or even eX-presj-
dent to be engaged in making rum
or holding slaves, but things were
different in those days, and no criti-
cism was leveled against the Father
of His Country for activity in these
and many other enterprises. Wash
ington's later troubles arose from
the fact that, as he was esteemed the
richest man in the country, no one
thought it worth while to pay what
they owed him if they could escape
the feeling that he would sue in the
courts. A lot of his tenant farmers
not only refused to pay rent, but sent
him large bills for building fences
and making other improvements.
In fact, this new letter shows that
the Father of His Country was hard
up for ready cash and eager to real
ize on his assets. He complained
that everyone cheated him and said
his expenses in Philadelphia were ten
times what they should have been.
Whiskey drinking was universal in
those days, and while Washington
was president one of the leading
Presbyterian churches in this city
leased its basement for a distillery or
warehouse and was for many years
known as the Fourth Proof.
Every age has its conventions and
standard of morals, We think We
are inestimably better than peOpl3 Of
a century ago, yet it may be doubted
whether fundamentally our conduct
or character is a vast Improvement.
The world certainly grows better all
the time, but slowly and with uneven
stem

The Tax Measure,

President Wilson's appeal for spe-
cial taxes in order to produce revenue
because of the falling off of imports
caused by the European war is meet
ing with ready response in congress,
hut in order that the burden shall
fall lightly on those who are least
able to bear it there should be care
full action by the committee. 1t is
Droposed. among other things, to tax
gasoline. whiskey, beer, wine, play
ing cards. railroad tickets, tobacco,
proprietary medicines, soft drinks,
and chewing gum. There was at one
time a suggestion that the income tax
law be amended so as to include tax
on incomes of 81, 500, but this would
be an injustice upon those who are
having a hard struggle as it is to
make both ends meet on that annual
earning. People who have incomes
of no more than 81, 500 and less an
nually must live so to use the entire
amount in their necessities. They do
not save enough out of it to pay the
government a part of it.

The War and Cotton Mills.

A contemporary notes that the Eu
faula cotton mills are running day
and night, and remarks: cit looks
like prosperity over in Alabama"
In the face of a situation that is
extremely distressing to every other
line of business in the South the
manufacture of cotton goods is the
one industry that has a prospect
for an unusually prosperous period.
The demand for cotton goods, partic-
ularly from the Latin Americas, will
be very large, The mills of Europe
that have been supplying the greater
part of the Latin-American demand
for cotton goods will not be able to
supply even the home demand. 1t is
said that the mills of Austria and
Germany are practically closed and
many of the operatives of the English
mills have enlisted for the war.
Hence the American mills will have
very little competition from the mills
of either Germany, France or Great
Britain in the markets of the world.
The American mills realize that
there is going to be a very great de-
mand for their output, and they are
making every effort to supply it. If
they can get the operatives they
should be running day and night.
Some of them are doing so, and prac-
tically all of them will be when they
succeed in getting the necessary la
Dor.
But in spite of this activity and
prosperity of the cotton mills they
are doing nothing to help the cotton
situation. On the contrary, they are
adding to the burdens of an already
distressed people by taking advant-
age of the situation to buy their raw
material at practically one hundred
per cent less than they paid for it a
year ago and sell their finished prod
uct at advanced prices
