 Studying Fish Diseases
 The bureau has only limited means for the investigation of fish diseases, which at times cause large losses to the government. states and private fish culturists. missioner Smith is re- ceiving growing and insistent demands for the investigation of various fish diseases and for the study of the rela- lions of industrial and other contami- nations to fish life in streams.
 These demands said Commissioner smith, "are of character that makes them entirely appropriate for atten- tion at the hands of the fishery service, but owing to lack of facilities the bu- reau has been able to do very little to help either itself or the general public Tn this respect. From every considera- ton of economy adequate means should be provided for such investigations At one hatchery alone. tt Holden Vt. over $50. 900 trout died from an epidemic in

FISH FARMING IN UNITED STATES|S A NEW INDUSTRY Acre of Fish Pond Produces More Money Than an
 Acre Planted in
 Crops

Fish farming Is a rapidly growing industry throughout the United States The up- to-date fish farmers find d ready market for young fish and eggs and for food and game fish, says a Washington special to the New York World. The government and the states purchase large quantities of eggs and Try from fish farmers every year Pri- vate clubs with their own fish pre- serves and hatcheries also furnish a market at good prices for eggs and fry The commercial market for food and game fishes Is a profitable one. This Is particularly true of trout and bass steady market with an average price of 75 cents per pound for game trout makes the production of this fish par ticularly attractive."
 H. M. smith, commissioner of fisher ies made this statement to a represen : tative of the World. Commissioner Smith is greatly interested in the growing demand for supplies by fish farmers as well as by clubs and state authorities. and fish production by these means is growing by leaps and bounds.
 'In addition to the fish farmers who are in the business commercial1y.' con tinued the Commissioner "there are large numbers of farmers all over the country who have come to realize the value of the private fish pond as a source of food supply. With a fuller 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 to pond culture, which are obtainable 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 the bureau exceeded 3.S63. 100000. Dur ing the fiscal year just closed the to- tals was considerably more than 4,- 10000, ,000 Notwithstanding the high cost of labor and materials this steady increase in production and output has been accomplished without a propor- ltionate increase in expenditures
 Propagation in Small Ponds While the fish farmer can be sure of securing a larger profit per acre of fish than from other products, the best work is done today in small cement ponds where eggs and fry can be kept under observation at all times
 Many fish farmers sell eggs and small fishes to other fish farmers as well as to the government, the statea and clubs. Many of them make spe-

Dawson Drug Co. Has Something of
Interest to Say to Its Friends.
Owing to the European war we
have been compelled to advance the
prices on a number of drugs made in
part or in whole from imported sup
plies. The drug market of the world
is now in utter chaos, and no one
knows what another day or week
may bring forth. Already many
crude drugs imported from Europe
have advanced and quite a number
are unattainable, and the end is not
yet.
We wish to say to our friends and
customers that we shall not raise the
price of a single item in our large
stock of drugs and sundries unless
we are foced to do so by reason of
increased cost.
We shall make no attempt to prof
it by a situation so distressing to the
the country and the world.
We thank you for past patronage
and solicit a continuance, promising
you the benefit of our long expert
ence. Your friends,

TO PASS A STAY LAW
GOV. SLATON WILL BE ASKED TO
CONVENE THE LEGISLATURE.
YCommittee of Bibb County Citizens
VIII Wait on Him Today, Seeking
to Relieve Cotton Situation.

The Macon Telegraph says that
committee headed by Joe Hill Hall
as chairman, a delegation composed
of the Bibb delegation in the legisla-
ture and four representative citizens
will go to Atlanta today and lay be-
fore Governor Slaton the matter of
calling a special session of the legis-
nature to enact such laws as will be
necessary to relieve the cotton situa-
ton in Georgia.
The committee of eight was named
at meeting of the Bibb County Ag-
ricultural, Live Stock and Dairymen' S
Institute after a general discussion
of business conditions by members
of the institute and business men in
terested.
The committee consists of Repre-
sentatives Wallace Miller, Ben j.
Fowler and Minter Wimberly and
Senator w. D. Mcneil, Joe Hill Hall,
w. T. Anderson, Thomas R. Aver and
w. G. Middlebrooks.
Just what plan of action the COM
mittee will propose to Governor Sla-
ton to put before the legislature has
not been decided. However, the
meeting adopted without dissenting
voice the proposition of w. T. An
derson, which is to place a produc-
ton tax on the 1915 crop.
Production Tax Proposed.
The plan in substance is, to place
a production tax Of five cents a pound
on all cotton produced in excess of
three 5OO-pound bales to the pillow,
the county ordinary to issue licenses
to the ginners.
Joe Hill Hall argued that such
plan would be unconstitutional, but
Representative-elect Thomas R. Aver
said that if that plan is not adopted
some other good plan could be adopt
ed, enacted into law, since the con-
stitution is elastic and can be easily
adapted to suit any emergency.
The farmers and business men at
the meeting gave close attention to
the many discussions had on the cot
ton situation. W. T. Anderson ad-
vised the farmers to hold their cot
ton, and where possible to store it
at home, placing it on rails and put
ting some sort of covering over it to
protect it against the weather.
Might Stop Debt Execution.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Aver that
the legislature could pass law stay
ing execution on debts due various
business houses. He said this would
bring about immediate relief and
would afford the farmers an opportu-
nifty to hold their cotton for higher
prices.

CAN RE CIRCULATED UP TO 40
PER CENT OF VALUE OF COT
TON OR OTHER SECURITY.

To the General Public: 1t has been
tbe Motley of the Dawson National
Rank for some years past to keep its
friends and patrons advised as to
business conditions, and as to what
MIGHT he expected in the near future
in financial circles.
On account OF the disturbed con-
d;+ion occasioned by the lack OF
roarlyat for cotton and other products
orou,n in the Southern states many
meetings have been held to devise
wavs and means by which these prod
vote might be held until market con-
ditions improve.
We publish in this issue of The
News the latest circular from the
tarasurv department at Washington
ou+1ining the plan adopted. We ask
that this be read carefully, as this is
the only hope held out to US by which
we will be able to renew and carry
credits already extended.
Many seem apprehensive ABOUT de-
hosting their cotton receipts to Sc
cure their notes for fear that cotton
MIGHT decline further and that the
hank would sell their cotton at the
depressed price without their con
sent and teopardize their interest. In
reply to this we can only say that we
are all in the hands of the Federal
Reserve Board at Washington, who
are sworn to see that justice is done
to all interests, that none is discrimi-
mated against.
To those who are indebted to us
we would say that if they apprehend
not being able to meet their notes at
maturity they can begin at once de-
hosting their cotton receipts with us,
and as soon as a sufficient amount is
received to secure the same their
notes will be renewed not to exceed
four months, and if conditions are
not improved these credits will be
extended from time to time until we
regard the destiny of the bank at haz-
ard.
We urge, however, that when a
reasonable price can be secured that
a portion of your cotton be sold and
all the seed not necessary for plant |
ing.
With the cooperation of all par
ties interested with us and by cur
tailment of the acreage in cotton
during 1915, with the practice of the
most rigid economy on the part of
all, we believe that even should Euro
pean wars continue throughout the
greater part of 1915 conditions will
be much improved, and hereafter the
necessaries of life will not be so diff |
ficult to secure.
Give us your most hearty cooper
alton. and when the war is over |
should our earthly possessions be less ,
we will still have that which alone !
gives JOY to life-our honor, our in
tegrity and the esteem of our fellow
man. Yours very truly,
r. L. SAVILLE. President.
ROGERS CARVER, Cashier.

OLIVER IS JAILED AT LEESDURG
Spectacular Financier is Held i'm De-

Banker" Oliver is behind the bars

placed yesterday afternoon, following
his reported spectacular automobile
pageant with his five private secreta-
ries down amid the pines Of Moul-
trie, where, ostensibly, this modern
Croesus was buying up bunch of
saw mills just to help business along,
"Oliver was brought back to Lees
burg yesterday upon a warrant issued
at the instance of Roy Black, recent
ly residing at SmithvilIe, charging
Oliver with jumping a board bill.
This charge was not sustained,

ed last night the hope of being able
to make the four bonds today and
thus fly the coop to sweet liberty.

flying the expense. The four cases
are set for trial next Friday, and it's
