July 4th, to begin a movement for

Southeast Georgia is, in this day

1888, completely cut off from
Southwest Georgia, except for the
little traffic that passes across the
few fords, which are impossible in
freshet times. This condition is
mainly responsible for the lack of
development in the territory OF
both sides of the river.
The Georgia chamber of CON-
MERGE has asked the commercial
organizations and mayors in all
cities and towns IN Southeast and
Southwest Georgia to send dele
gates to this meeting, the plans of
the Jesup Chamber of Commerce

How to Detect the
Alum Baking Powder

(Which are the alum baking powders;
how can | avoid them unless they are named9"
asks housekeeper.
Here is one way: take the can Of low
priced powder in your hand and read the
ingredient clause upon the back label. The
law requires that if the powder contains alum
that fact must be there stated If you find
one Of the ingredients named alum. or sui
phate Of aluminium. you have found an alum
baking ponder.
There is another and better way. You
don't have to know the names Of the alum
powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only;
that assures you a cream Of tartar powder,
and the purest and most healthful baking
powder beyond question.

PRESS OPINIONS
The Ship. Building Combines Greed
New York WORLDLY

(NeW YORK WORLDLY
The ship-building interests have
masseN their opposition to the bill ad-
hitting to American registry foreign
built ships. They insist that there
shall be no American mercantile ma
rine unless they build it at their own
price. They assume the right to
dictate to the whole country the
terms upon which the United States
shall be permitted to carry on it's
foreign trade.
A national emergency exists, and
the need of immediate action by con-
gress is imperative. With huge sur
plus crops awaiting export to foreign
markets and the railroads ready to
rush them % the coast, the means of
moving them across the sea is utterly
wanting, and the ship-building clique
Is doing every thing in it's power
to prolong the crisis. The shipyard
owners have been nursed and cod
died so long that they believe they
have acquired a vested right in the
ownership of the American flag.
This insolent combination of special
interests must be taught promptly
that the industry and commerce of
this country shall be freed from it's
control and that the trade opportuni-
ties awaiting the United States shall
not be forfeited in order to crafty
