OUR PEOPLE MUST HELP THEMSELVES
THINKS |. C. COUNCIL, Of SITUATION
Returns Admission State
Was DscusdCongress May Rem
Some Assistance Cotton Prob
lem For Herself.

,f..-.
Mr.. L. G. Council returned to Amer
icus yesterday from an important busi-
ness mission in Washington, where as
president of the Georgia State BANK
ers' association he was invited by Sel-
ator Hoke Smith to discuss matters of
Importance relative to conditions ex
isting in the South. Mr. Council was
accompanied by Mr.. Hayes McFadden,
of Atlanta, secretary of the State Bank
ers' association. They spent Monday
and Wednesday in Washington, having
gone to New York for day in the ir-
terim.
When seen at his Office here yester-
day Mr.. Council talked rather opti-
mistically of the situation, although he
adheres steadfastly to the belief SO
often expressed in farmers meetings
in Americus, that the people of the
South must in the end stand together
and work out the problem fer them
selves.
The purpose of the Washington coa-
ference was to obtain the most favo"-
able ruling possible for the admission
of state banks to the federal reser9 e
system.
The Representatives of the bankers
association were successful in secur-
ing the virtual assurance from Comp
troller John Shelton Williams that
state banks having the necessary cap
ital and surplus will be allowed, ii
they nationalize six months to come
within the requirements as to exces-
sive loans and twelve months to
come within the requirements on real
estate loans.
Talks With Mr.. Williams
The comptroller confirmed the inte"-
| pretation of the law to the effect that
state banks that may become members
as state banks will continue to hav's
the privilege of loaning on real estate
and to individuals, firms or corpora
tions under the terms and in the
amount already provided for in their
state charters.
The federal reserve act already per
mits national banks to make real es.
tate loans to the amount of 25 per cent
of their capital and surplus or one
third of their time deposits.
The attitude of the comptroller was
indorsed by other members of the fed
eral reserve board. and the comptroller
signified his willingness to make
formal ruling on the question OF state

Let The War Go On
Says Andy Carnegie
Countries Involved Must Wear Them Fighting

As Man and German Ruler Peace

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Andrew Car
negie reached New York today on the
steamer Mauretania with a new YER
sion of how the war in Europe YVES
started.
"I'll tell yuo how the war started"
said Mr.. Carnegie. THE kaiser was
on holidy on his yacht in the North
Sea. While he was away he received
a telegram asking him to return to
Berlin. When he returned the MS
chief had already been done.
The kaiser himself is a marvelo is
man, possessed of wonderful inge-
nuity. He has done more good for
Germany than any other man before
him. He has built up a great for
eign commerce and a marvellous in
ternal business. The kaiser is a peace
loving man.
The trouble was started by the
Germany military caste that rules the
country. The kaiser gathered around
him group of men who, unknown
to him acted in concert and in his
absence took the action that could
not be altered.
"As for my own country; do not
know how to thank God that 1 live
in brotherhood of forty-eight ma
tions - forty-eight nations in one
union"
Americas duty to the world, Mr..
Carnegie added is to point the wa,
to an everlasting peace.
What we want is an international

"The British flag has been hoisted at
Frederich-Wilhelm and a garrison has

Russians Advance Rapidly.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 25.-(Special)
An official announcement from
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-
chief of the Russian forces in the
field, says:
"On the southwest front of the f
sian troops have taken possession of
the fortified position Of Czyschy AMI
Foulstyn which covered Khyroff and
other positions in the Radymno region
between Jaroslau and Przemsyl, taking
all the enemy's artillery.
THE Przemsyl garrison has evacuac-
ed Bourgade and Medyka and has been
repulsed in the eastern segment, to-
ward the line Of forts.
There has been fighting on the Ger
man 'front.'"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.-SeC-
retary Garrison today ordered Bri-
gadier General Funston commdnangi
ing the American forces at Vera Cruz,
not to withdraw during the next ten
days.
Mr.. Garrison said the order was
caused by delay in adjustment OF
many details incident to the transfer
of funds and the customs house.
1t is understood President Wilson
and Secretary Garrison have not ye:
considered the possible effect of the
Villa revolt on the American evacua-
ton, and it is probable the question
will not be taken up until cabinet
meeting Tuesday. AS there are go
many other questions to be settled,
officials take the view that there is
no occasion for hasty decision con-
corning the troops. General Funs-
ton IN a report today confirmed the
news of the cutting of rail and wire
communication between Vera Cruz
and Mexico City. He added that it
was not known whether the constitu-
tionalists along the railroad were
fighting among themselves or whether
the work of destruction was by former
federal soldiers.
An American officer on the Ari-
zona frontier in a report today de-
scr.bed the manner of Villas procla-
nation of independence. He said a
notice declaring the concentration of
the Villa forces for a march on
Mexico City was written in chalk on
a blackboard in front of the Nogales
customs office by persons unknown"

CHOLERA BREAKS OUT 49,

great vigor

LONDON, Sept. 25.-(Special.) .)-Ac-
companying the reports of bad wealth
er comes the omnious news of the
presence of disease. Hungary has ac-
knowledged an outbreak of cholera
among her troops, and while it is de
MED officially, the scourge is said to
have attacked the Servian armies. Gel
eral epidemics of milder diseases are
expected in the western field, where
the troops on both sides, drenched by
pitiless rain, are lying in flooded
trenches.
Operations in Alsace-Lorraine are
said to have come to a complete stop
on account of snowstorms. Rain and
foods are reported also from the
Galician operations, probably account
ing for the cessation of the Russian
attack on the retreating Austrians
Storm conditions will interfere very
greatly with motor transports, and
troops taking the offensive may be
greatly handicapped by inability
to bring up artillery.

concerned" said Mr.. Council upon
his return yesterday. He realizes the
importance of providing adequate
measures for taking care of the sur
plus cotton and is doing everything in
his power to put such measures in ef-
feet, as evidenced by the various bills
he has championed for the Southern
people and this great cause.
"The limit of his resources has al
ready been brought into play and his
great hope now is to devise ways and
means whereby the cotton states can
help themselves. With this end in
view, he has been instrumental in
arranging the conference of governors
with congress on Monday, the 2sth,
so that the influence of congress may
be brought to bear in harmony with
the forces which the various cotton
states are able to enlist.

Several of the great German siege
guns, probably destined for use
against the Notifications of Paris,
have fallen into the hands of the enc

now digging this artillery out, but

In Raising Fund For Little
Ones

Today is the annual date upon which
contributions are made towards the
maintenance of the Orphans Home OF
the South Georgia conference, and
in Americus, as throughout southern
Georgia, open-harded liberality will
be extended these poor little depend
ents-motherless and fatherless ones

Christian spirit OF our people.
Tomorrow morning, at the SUNDAY

both the Sunday school and church
service collections will be taken for
the conference orphans home.
To the end of increasing their Sun-
day school fund, many young girls will
sell lunches today, and the proceeds of
such sales will amount to a consider
able sum. Ladies have prepared the
tempting lunches and the cry of Buy
a Bale" will give way today to that Of
Buy Lunch" and thus help the lit
tie orphans. Many people will give
their entire income for this day to the
maintenance of the Methodist orphans
home at Macon.
"Whomsoever giveth to the least OF
these, giveth unto me-" This quota
ton may not be given literally, but this
line will be good one to keep in mind
today.

by this conferenve available for the
relief OF the desperate emergency that
confronts our cotton farmers at this

"The president of the United States,
the federal reserve board, the senators

measure that promises relief and it is
the duty of every patriotic citizen of u
least the cotton states TO stand shout
der to shoulder with them in the

Villa sent word to officials here
today that no matter what eventu-
ated he would afford every protec-

His headquarters at Chihuahua were
described in official advices as pre-

Reports from American consuls IN
Sonora said no fighting was immi-
nent there.
Reconciliation Possible.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 25.-Prominent
men here believe there is still a
chance to make peace between Car
rama and Villa before the breach be-
comes irreparable. Meanwhile the
general public here does not seem to
have been informed of the contro-
versy.
There has, however, been no re-
sponse to kilograms sent by infuen-
tial Mexicans to Gen. villa, urging
him to make peace. Discussion in
official circles indicates a belief that
Villas action might afford a pretext
for continued American occupation of
Vera Cruz.
Antonio Villareal, governor of the
state of Nuevo Leon, who has just
left here for Monterey, telegraphcd

LET us not drown the ideals Of
the revolution in human blood, nor
foment irreparable division through
discord. Let US pacify the country

OF the Aisne, to the northwest of Pa
rs, finds the British and Ger
man armies still fighting desperately,
with the Germans fercely resisting the
gradual advance of the allies on Cen

fering in both armies and checking
operations to a certain degree.
The French army is entrenched in a
position between the Somme and the
Disc, approximately 60 miles north Of
Paris.
On the eastern end of the battle line
the Germans are reported to be MAX
ing determined assaults on the Verdun
positions. One report of the fighting
there places the German casualties at
10000 dead and $4,000 wounded.
The German army headquarters IN
its latest official statement regarding
the situation in France confines itself
to stating that there have been minor
engagements, but that nothing of i'm

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood. affecting the
muscles and joints. producing inham-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it of.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys anl skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time 1t
improves the digestion.
