Of ALL KINDS
IN THt DOPE CAMPS

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 4.-Twenty-
eight patients, mostly women, and
some Of them young and good looking,
are now being treated to cure them of
the hope" habit, at the special city
camp established to take care of the
drug tiends whose last means of sup
ply was taken away by the screwing
down of the lid on illicit drug sales
last Monday by the federal authori-
ties.
New applicants for treatment, all
coming voluntarily, are being receiv.
ed each day. The best known scien
tific means for treating the habit are
being used, and the patients are get
ting along well.
The government officials are highly
pleased with the work being done by
the hospital declaring that no city
In the country has co-operated mora
fully with the government in stamping
out the drug evil than Atlanta.
The patients all appear to be glad
of an opportunity to be cured of their
slavery to morphine, cocaine or other
drugs. Two trained nurses are in
constant attendance. The officials on
their inspection this morning found
one young married woman less than
twenty years of age taking the treat
ment. Another case which excited
their attention was that of d culture /
and refined woman of about sixty.

THE HOME PAPER.

1t wants you on its reading list, re-
corded on it's books, and then you'll
get it every week and know just how
it looks.
1t will tell you all about the news ia
this and nearby towrs, who gets mar
ried, dies, IS born and who elopes or
browns.
There isn't thing from A TO q thai
tends to help the town that the paper
doesn't touch it up and quickly pass it
round
It tells about your visitors, with
titles emphasized, while all their
points of merit are freely generalized.
1t tells the story of success, but
screens the failure side, and when the
facts will make a mess it simply lets
them slide.
1t tells about yous virtues and over
looks your sins, and puts an extra en-
phasis upon the birth of twins.
1t never designs to tell lie, except
in personal praise, and then it does it
clear and strong, and with its choic
est phrase.
In writing up your marriage it ell
aborates with care, and says the bride
was beautiful and the bridegroom was
on the square.
1t doesn't matter who it is that
crosses Jordan's River, the paper tick
cts him as saint, and safely sends him
thither.
1t tells about that darling boy who
had dollar raise, leaves out his
measly little tricks and just recites
his praise.
And there's your daughter on the
street, gadding night and day, of all
the rumors slow or fleet, it wisely does
not say.
It paints out every Flemish on the
picture of your life and paints in ey-
cry virtue of home that has no strife
1t learns to read between the lines
and find the tender spot, to blow not
cold on young or old, when BLOWN 9
should be hot.
It senses out all the skeletons behinj
the closet door and runs its big blue
pencil through the lines that turn
them oer.-Licoln County Journal

SAVING THE BIRDS.

Several years ago a Georgia farmer
had very poor crops, and the failure
was attributed to the fact that he had
allowed hunters to kill nearly all o.
the birds on his firm. The value Of
birds was just then beginning to be
appreciated, and the farmers all over
Georgia are now practically unanim-
Gus in favor of protecting them from

CORN AND CATTLE SHOW
IN PLACE OF THE FAIR

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 4-The South
eastern Fair Association, finding it i'm
possible to finish their grounds and
buildings in time for the holding off
a complete fair in all its departments
this year, has decided to rut on a
Boys Corn Club show in connection
with a Hereford Cattle show, supple
mented with pure bred cattle and
swine sales. The dates of the Corn
and Cattle show are November 1913,
inclusive. Therer will be on hand
several expert lecturers and live stock
and agricultural subjects and by &C
tual work with the cattle and corn
teach the Corn Club boys and others
present just how to judge cattle, corn
and swine. 1t is expected that this
will be made one of the best features
of the show.
Two of the fair buildings will be
completed in plenty of time for this
years show. Each one of these build.
ings covers practically an acre o.
ground, and will cost $4,000. They
are of reinforced concrete, 100 by
$50 feet and are fireproof.
Three thousand dollars will be Of
fered in premiums to the Corn club
boys, which is expected to draw at
least twelve hundred Corn club ex
hibitors. One of the features of the
Corn Club show is that these boys
are to be entertained by the citizens
of Atlanta in their homes.
The sum of $4,000, the largest
amount ever offered on Herefords
alone at any show. will be hung up
as premiums for this breed. The Cattle
show at San Francisco will be closed
November /, leaving ample time for
the show herds at the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition to reach Atlanta. There
will be twelve to fifteen of the first
herds of this breed in the United States
exhibited at this show, affording an
opportunity for the farmers and the
breeders of the South to see the best
types of the Hereford breed.
The American Hereford Breeders
association will sell at public auc.
ton fifty head of pure bred regis
tered cattle one day during this meet
The Georgia Berkshire association, as
sisted by the American Berkshire as
sociation, will sell at public auction
fifty or more head of pure bred Berk-
shires one day at the meet. The
American Duroc-Jersey Breeders as
sociation will also offer for sale al
public auction fifty or more head of
pure bred Duroc-Jersey swine one day
of the meet. Arrangements are about
to be completed with one of the d.
rectors Of the American Poland-China
Breeders association for the holding
of sale of fifty or more head of
pure bred Poland China swine one
day of this meet. The Southeastern
Fair association is also making eff
forts to induce breeders of dairy cat
, tie to offer some of their different
breeds for sale at public auction here
at that time.
The citizens of Atlanta have fuf-
nished a 389 acre tract of land and
/ $230.000 with which to start the
building of fair plant. The tract Is
said to be from the standpoint of To-
/ cation and natural advantages one OF
| the finest fair ground sites in the
I United States. One feature of the
fair plant made possible by the top
ography of the grounds, will be a mile
! rack track within a natural amphi-

 Interned Hungarians Murdered.
 The Royal Hungarian Ministry of the Interior obtained on January Il, 1915 a report of the murder of in- termed Hungarians at Argenton-sur Cruse, fingers, Bastide-St. Pierre, La Courtine, Garaison and Orville.''
 In great Britain, insufficient food and accommodations, it is claimed, were accorded the interned nationals at Davenport and Newbury.
 Colonel Haines," (presumably in charge of the detention camps), says a letter from Baron Giskra to Count Berchtold, would have been quite willing to do som ething for the pris- oners, but his Humanitarian impulses were checked by Lord Kitchener"
 Similar complaints are made of treatment of prisoners at Dorchester and the Douglas concentration camp on the Isle of Man.
 Barbarous Treatment In Russia.
 In Russia, the intelligence depart ment of the Auetro- Hungarian general staff learned of sparbarous treatment inflicted on the interned at Arenburg, where typhus and starvation depleted their ranks by the hundreds" In Serbia besides rough treatme ent, plundering and insufficient food, com pulsory. and naturalization was en- forced, prisoners of war were robbed, badly fed, and forced to do work for military purposes"
 Twenty-seven cases of violations by Russia of the laws of warfare and eighteen instances in which Serbia and Montenegro are accused of vari- ous atrocities are given in detailed afidavits selected from many more made by soldiers, officers and civilian officials. These include, in Russia, not only the use of dunn dunn bullets, firing on the Red Cross flag and am

 The transfer is dictated by necess- ity alone" President Gilmore explain ed. We are going to place club in New York City next year. and as this will entail lot of additional work for this office, I thought it best to move there
 As it was organized baseball that questioned our right to be called a major league, we will try to correct that view next year when we get our new circuit into operation. It seems to be the impression that no league can be a major without New York, so we intend to satisfy organized ball in the regard.''
 President Gilmore asserted that financially the league never was in better shape.
