AMER|CUs STILL
TROUBLED ABOUT
STAMP SHORTAGE
BUSINESS HERE is RETARDED
NO STAMPS ON SALE AND
NONE CAN BE HAD.

Americas business firms and in
dividuals as well are still hampered
today by lack of war revenue stamps,
and are in a dilemma as to how to
proceed. They do not wish to violate
the law by doing business without the
required revenue stamps, and at the
same time, through no fault of their
own, they cannot get the new stickers.
War stamps are not on sale at the
postofice here, while orders sent to
the revenue department in Atlanta
remain untitled.
The confusion that prevailed rela-
tive to the new law was not confined
to any one line of business, but from
many sources stories of trouble were
heard
In the Office of Clerk Allen of the
superior court not few papers are
being filed for record, and these are
taken care of despite the stamp short
age, and the law complied with in ev-
cry instance.
Several persons sending kilograms
yesterday made the mistake of affixing
stamps to the messages. This law re-
quires that the war tax of one cent
per message shall be paid the tele-
graph company, which will remit to
the government. The telegraph COM
panies cannot accept stamps in lieu
of cash, since none of the stamps is
sued by the government are intended
for this purpose.
The tax on collect" message is
paid by the person who ultimately
pays the tolls ON the message.

Der for an hour at man peeling po-
tatoes in a restaurant window and for

spieler sell patent medicine"
"Oh, it isn't that bad" replied an
Atlanta friend. Real business men
don't stop from curiosity. Maybe the
loafers do"
We'll; I'll bet you" returned the
Gainesville visitor. III bet I can
take one of those dead fish in that
butchers window and make it draw a
crowd of a hundred in FIVE minutes
The bet was accepted and the man
from Gainesville purchased a five
pound fish. He borrowed a long stick
tied string to it, attached the fish to
the other end and walked out into
the middle of Marietta street by the
Grady monument. He leaned against
the monument and dangled the fish
just over the asphalt. Two bicycle
messengers got off their wheels to
look. The knot of loafers on the city
hall steps came over. This made up
a circle which hid everything except
the fish, which the joker swung high
into the air at intervals, persistently
refusing to reply to questions. With
in five minutes the street was so
blocked that all traffic was stopped
and even the street cars emptied as
the passengers were overcome with
curiosity. The incredulous town man
counted a dozen or two responsible
merchants and others in the throng
and admitted he had lost his bet Then
the visitor took down his fish and de-
parted, and traffic resumed its normal
aspect.

Especial to Times-Recorder)

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 2.-Henry Bed
niger Baylor, who lives in a thy house
he calls Sans Souci Castle, and who
is proud of his Virginia ancestry and
his patriotism, has offered his sword
and a good right hand to WELD it to
President Poincare of France, to re-
pay, in a measure at least, the services
of the Marquis de Lafayette, who
aided America in the Revolution.
Mr.. Baylor, who is an Atlanta civil
engineer when he is not writing his
opinions to the newspapers, wrote
three times to President Poincare be-
fore he got an answer. He showed
that he was a veteran of the civil war,
a graduate of the Virginia Military In
stitute, and a worshipper of Napoleon,
and believed he could do valiant duty
in the French army. The third letter
brought a reply, couched in beautiful
French, assuring Mr.. Baylor of the
presidents exquisite joy at the offer
and his utter desolation that at pres
ent the services of the American could
not be accepted.

NEW HAVEN PROGRAM ASECRET
Attorney General McReynolds Refuses

Cruiser Washington Sails fer
Coast of Haiti.

Washington, June 29,--Conyinced
that there is no other path to ad-
journment but the one which begins
with trust legislation, the senate will
settle down this week to the steady
grind of work on the federal trade
commission bill.
The senate is far from resigned to
the thought OF six weeks or more OF
discussion Of trust legislation in mid
summer, but ii is not probable that
the spirit of open revolt will show 1t.
self on the floor, and unless senate
leaders are at fault, in the predic-
tionS the three house bills or legis.
lation designed to cover the same
ground will be put through by the IA
miliar process, weeks of debate in
fruitless effort to amend and then
passage.
There is no doubt whatever that il
the President would relent in his in
sistenCe upon the antitrust program
congress could and would get away
from Washington in two weeks or
less. The house is in such shape that
it could be ready to get away in a
few days and the senate is not far
behind as far as appropriation meas
ures are concerned

in that case" and referred to state
ment from the attorney generals Of

that there was no violation OF any

Is Relief In Sight?

Is something Of practical benefit to
to country people about 10 come out
Of Washington, or is it TO be another
pipe dream1
Congress is taking up the matter Of
good roads, and a bill has been practic-
ally agreed upon which provides for
the raising Of highway fund for the
issue Of per cent government bonds.
This money is TO be loaned TO the
states, which are to deposit in the
United States treasury their own bonds
bearing 4 per cent interest as secur-
ity. The states 10 use the money
thus obtained in the building Of better
roads throughout the country.
II there is any thing on earth that
is needed in this country it is better
roads. Our public highways are dis
grace to civilization. They are the
worst Of any country on earth which
makes ahy pretensions to advancement.
Congress has legislsted for years in
behalf Of almost everyone it could
think Of, except the man from the
country. Billions Of the public money
have been spent, and millions Of that
have been more or less a useless ex-
tEavagance. The pork barrel has al
ways been open to the politicians.
But now let US hope belated grain
Of common sense has at last perme-
ated the brains Of the gentleman who
represent US at Washington.
II they afford US the means Of OBJ
tanning better country roads We cheer
fully accord them the credit Of earn
/ ing at least a portion Of their salaries.
1t is quite time for the man from
the country to have his inning.

Auy Post Office Now Cashes Money Orders

Under new plan, effective July |, a
money order can be cashed at any post
Office in the United States if presented
within thirty days after issuance. After
that time it must be cashed at the
office TO which it is directed, as has
been the rule heretofore.
For instance, if a mercantile COM
pany sends its travelling salesman a
money order for expenses, he will not
be troubled any more if he misses the
letter at the office on which the money
orders was bought. The letter will be
forwarded after him and when he does
get it he can take the money order TO
any post Office where he can establish
his identity and get his money. in
that way it becomes a travellers check.
Also money orders can now be used by
people going on journeys. A man
might buy money orders payable to
himself, which he could cash at bis
convenience at various points on his
journey.
