Blindness OF Virtue
The play was presented by cast
who bespoke so thoroughly and de-
lightfully their British quality, their
sincerity in every detail. and their
natural deficiency in moments of
mclodramatic stress that a shortcom-
ing now and then was to be over
looked
This was none OF your plays whose
actors are nonchalantly CoCksure and
staggering like tho American youth
of the stage, but one whose men and
women are conscientiouslv aware of

which is distinctive product of the
right little. tight little island
Play Around Parsons Daughter.
But as to the play itself. Cosmo
Hamilton. the PLAYWRIGHT, tells the
story of Effie, the clergyman's daugh-
ter of seventeen years. who for all
her knowledge of life and the world
and men and women might as well be
seventeen months. She makes her
plant. in a rather innocuous first act.
that there are certain vague impulses
L .1-.. l.. Oh Il,
ignorant and inexperienced and all
that.
There is something she wants. and
she doesn't know what it can be.
She is lonely. the little darling. say
father and mother. And they well
come the Honorable Archie Graham
to the home. Effie, the innocent one,
falls in love and tells Graham so.
She enters his room, because she
doesn't know better arrayed naively
in her nightdress alone Father en-
ters. Complications. Melodrama But
Ora ham is indicated as he is a fine
fellow. and nothing has happened.
So he doesn't use the suicidal re-
volver he has slipped into his pocket.
And all the blame falls on mother
and father who haven't told Effie
before this all the things she ought
10 KNOW.
And because everything is so sin
cerelv done and said, there is an ad-
mirable quality about the thing, even
with the callowness Of the simple
maiden, which is not altogether the
callowness of the play.
Tom Brown Comradeship Typical.
One of the really fine things in the
play Is the Comradeship, again typl-
cal bv Tom Brown British, between
the two men. Henry Douglas played
the Rev. Harry Pemberton, and Ger
aid Henson played Archie Graham
both as capable English actors would
play parts written for Englishmen by
an Englishman.
The brightest spot in all the play
was the chatter of Cookie. the tyrant
of the Wears house. Marie Ault was
the comedy character and of more
than ordinary effectiveness.

CITY WON 7 TEST.
SEGREGATION
ORDINANCE
haysoD, Replying to Alexander,
Declares Law Does Not Vio-
late Constitution.

City officials viii no! attempt test
~ tie segregation law because United
States District Attorney Hooper
Alexander suggested it, with tho
opinion that the ordinance was un-
constitutional. It was learned to-day
City Attorney Mayson. in answer
to a challenge from Mr.. Alexander
said the original law was constitu-
tionaI. in his opinion and that he
would give written opinion as soon
As he could prepare it.
Attorney Mavson is doubtful about
a recent amendment to the law, The
original law was that all blocks in
habited only by white people should
remain so unless a ma jority Of the
residents voted to allow a negro to
move in. and vice versa.
Say Law Has Done Good.
The amendment would regulate
mixed blocks bV requiring consent OF
neighbors to allow change. But At
torney Mayson said he had no dispo-
sition to take the matter to the courts.
The attitude of city officials is that
the law already has done great good
in alaying race prejudice by sepa
rating the whites and negroes. and
that there is no disposition on the
part Of anyone to oppose ii except a
few property owners who have been
put to a little inconvenience in rent
ing houses.
The law was passed at the behest
of hundreds of white residents in sec
tons bordering negro districts, and
since its passage by the City Council
the negroes have shown a disposition
to obey It, They would leave its
testing by the courts to citizens di-
rectly concerned.
Ashley Not Afraid Of Test.
Councilman Claude l., Ashley,
father Of the ordinance, declared he
was confident the law was constitu
tional and he did not care If it was
tested
at is not near so strict as similar
laws in Baltimore and Richmond,
after which it was drafted. and both
of them have been upheld by the Su-
preme Courts of Maryland and Nir-
ginia," he said,
Mr. Alexander said he wrote an
opinion on the request of Dan Ca
rev's father. He sent a copy of that
opinion to City Attorney Mayson. His
opinion is that the law conflicts with
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution.

Value of Hog Cholera Serum Work
In Georgia
Andrew NJ Soule President Georgia State College of
Agriculture.

The farm demonstration agents of
Georgia inoculated 21,200 hogs against
cholera last year with excellent re-
suits.
The State Of Georgia manufactures
the serum and distributes it at cost
to the farmers of Georgia. The plant
at which this serum is made is To-
Gated at the College of Agriculture.
Its capacity is about one million cubic
centimeters a year, or enough to in
oculate $4,000 one hundred pound
hogs. Many more, of course, could
be inoculated if they are pigs. At
this rate about 100000 worth of hogs
are protected annually from cholera.
By stopping the disease, of course, it's
spread is checked, and vastly more
saving is made than is represented
by the value of the hogs inoculated.
The serum is offered to the farmer
at / IL cents per cubic centimeter,
though it is probable that a reduction
in price will be made by the first of
January. At the present rate, the
incubation Of a 100pound hog costs
60 cents. Commercial sepms have
been sold in Georgia at less cost. The
difference in the cost of the state
serum and the ordinary commercial
serum exists mainly in the fact that
the state conducts elaborate tests SO
that it can guarantee the serum as
being potent, that is, equal to doing
what is claimed for it. 1t is the only
way to be sure that the remedy is eff
fective.
An instance has come to the notice
of the College of farmer applying
state-tested serum to a part of his
herd and commercial serum to the
balance, with the result that all treat
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-12-22

ed by state serum were. saved and
all given INFESTED commercial serum
died of cholera.
Some commercial serum plants have
been shut down by federal authorities
because it had been found that they
had spread the foot and mouth dis
ease These facts are not mentioned
to injure worthy commercial concerns,
but to warn farmers that they may
protect themselves and the growing
pecially in view of the fact that the
demand for serum in the state may
outgrow the present capacity Of the
state plant to manufacture it.
The law provides that serum manu-
featured by the state shall be distrib-
uted to the farmers through the Of
| fee of the state veterinarian.
1t has not always been possible to
meet the demands for serum in Geor-
gia, nor will there be a guarantee
that there will be sufficient manufac-
| tured by the state to meet its own
demands until the capacity Of the
plant is enlarged. The larger the
amount of serum manufactured the
less it will cost. Therefore, the most
direct and effective means of getting
tested serum at a lower cost will be
by obtaining a larger appropriation
from the state.
Meanwhile, it is the right of every
citizen of Georgia to have some Of
the serum which the state manufac
lures, backed by it's guarantee, if il
is possible to get it. Should farmer
not be able to get it and other serum
is recommended, he should ascertain
that it has been tested on hogs affect
ed with cholera before Using it.

Great Deeds of the Great War" prints
an article on the subject. The article
gives some striking and conclusive ev-
idence of the difficulties which attend
such journey by air to London
1t shows that it is one thing to fly
over neighboring town, and perhaps
kill innocent young children, and quite
another thing to negotiate long jour
ney over sea and land even under the
most favorable circumstances. This is
quotation:
"A man went up in Zeppelin for a
nine-hour trial fight. 1t was delight
full experience, though the shock on
nerves when the great hull creaked
every time the engines back-fired, or a
gust of wind caught the huge surface,
was exceedingly disturbing.
when the engines jumped, the en-
tire Zeppelin jumped with an awful jar
in all it's joints, the wind currents took
it and made it pitch at a dozen angles
at once, and the passenger, though an
experienced and skilled aviator who
knows what he is talking about, looked
fearfully aloft, in expectation of the
back breaking and sending him hurting
to the earth. When he disembarked he
was not sorry"
But even greater surprises awaited
him:

NAL Husbandry, Georgia State

Sada's Jap, a Jersey bull owned at
the Georgia State College farm, has
the distinction of being the grand
son of the two imported bulls holding
first and second record for offsprings
having register of merit. Interested
Prince. the holder of first honors, is
sire of Interested Sada's Queen, the
mother of the bull in question. On the
paternal side the bull was sired by
Jap, who holds the second place for
records of register of merit. To at
tain register of merit Jersey COW
must have produced at least 500
pounds of butter fat in year
1t will thus be seen that Georgia

CHRISTMAS BALES
SELLING RAPIDLY
CURRENT VALUES
MUCH COTTON Is BEING SOLD IN
AMRRICUS FOR THE HOLIDAY
NEEDS.

Americas warehouses have assumed
a somewhat buster appearance during
the past few days, fact attributable
alike to the steadiness of the market
and the general desire of weary hold
ers 10 sell cotton, even at the rather
low range of values. Farmers very
generally are anxious to wind up the
years business, and as the prospect of
higher prices is none too good many
of them are selling at least a goodly
portion of their cotton crop.
The price generally prevailing here
is six to six and half cents for mid
ding grades, while a finer quality will
bring seven cents. The need for cash
at this season is an incentive for very
general selling now.
While probably 10000 bales have
been sold in Americas during the sea-
son to this date, a local authority
stated today, there yet remains in
Americas warehouses very nearly 25,-
900 bales, he stated. This is safely
packed away in the eight big ware
houses, and large portion of it will,
necessarily, be carried far into next
year, unless market conditions i'm
prove very materially.
Local buyers have been actively in
the market recently, and shipments
have been very considerable. 1t be-
gins to look as if spinners had again
misjudged the situation. Since the
opening of the season they have taken
some 100000 bales less than they took
during the corresponding period last
year. They supposed that they held
the position entirely in their own
hands; that exports would be incon-
siderable and that producers would be
obliged to accept much more disas-
trous sacrifices.
But exports have increased to inn
posing proportions, being larger last
week than for the same week last
year. 1t is now stated that Germany
and Austria together will take 3,OOO,-
600 bales, if they can find a way to
get it.
Neither does any undue pressure de-
velop in southern spot markets
Enough cotton is being marketed tc
materially ease the tension and emer-
gency facilities for obtaining ad-
vances to large extent obviating the
urgency of general unloading. Again
1t may easily result that American
mills waited longer to pay higher
prices.
