rious defeats sustained in that region.
A large Austrian army which was
attacked by the Russians during Sun
day was so badly beaten until the re-
treat became almost rout, and con-
tinued until the Moldava river had
been crossed. This army, it is report
ed here, is now being reformed for n
dash against the advanced Russian po-
sition in Bukowina, but is so demoral-
lied as to be entirely ineffective until
new units can be composed and added
to its strength.

AMER|CUS STILL
FEELING BETTER
OVER CONDITIONS
FARMING OPERATIONS AND BUSI-
NESS UPON A BETTER BASIS

Americus merchants, warehousemen
and farmers Of this section continue
to wear faces that rival the sunshine
so abundantly in evidence here today.
Business continues quite as good as
expected; the price of cotton continues
at figure calculated to bring about
divorce proceedings between the bale
and the owner, while all over Sumter
county the farmers are busily prepar-
ing for the crop this year. Surely, the
prospect seems favorable for a season
of prosperity in the realm Of old Sum-
ter.
The grain fields of Sumter are of
surprising beauty-thousands of acres
of wheat and oats of brightest verdure
promising relief to the producers
from the high prices of -four now pre-
vailing. Farmers are going to plant
cotton, of course, but not "all cotton"
by any means.
Georgia grew during the last year
the largest cotton crop in its history,
with the possible exception of 1911.
When all this cotton is finally sold at
eight cents and more, it will mean that
the South has received a very substan-
tial return from its great crop, even
if the price is a grievous disappoint-
ment.
Here in South Georgia the cotton
crop will be automatically reduced this
year, and the same is true of other
sections of the cotton belt. AS mat
ter of fact, the customary advances to
farmers will be radically reduced, fer
tilizer sales will be small, if much
more than nominal, and various fac
tors will operate to cut down the cot
ton acreage.
To take philosophical view of the
situation, maybe this depression came
as a blessing in disguise. No doubt
many of us we're living too fast-be-
yond our means-and if this is a fact
we will no doubt settle down to the
fact that we must live within our in
come No individual or business can
prosper by spending more than their
income, and many had been doing that.
None of us can support a cham
payne taste on soda water income,
and we had as well settle down to bus
mess and husband our resources, and
keep on at it until we turn the tide Of
prosperity our way.
One may look for an excellent busi-
ness fall if we have anything like a
favorable crop year. We will have a
gradual increase until then, for the
world can't stop still, Notwithstanding
some seem to think it. People are go
ing to trade just as long as they have
penny, and they will talk in a little
while and will loosen up, and things
will move on il the evening tenor of
their way.

RUSSIANS REPORT
GAINS AGAINST.
AUSTRIAN FORCES
(By ASSOC ated Press.)

PETROGRAD, Feb. 8.-Todays Off
cial statement issued at the headquar-
ters of the Russian war ministry, says
hard fighting continues in the Carpa-
THAN region, where important Russian
successes have been attained. During
yesterdays fighting there Austrian
troops were defeated and driven back
from three fortified positions, after a
severe encounter, costing both armies
reported as having undertaken gen.
eral retreat, while Russian cavalry and
Cossacks continue to harass the enc
my's rear guard.
During the fighting around Uzsoc
Pass, where the Austrians were forced
to retire after furious encounter con-
tfnuing several hours, two thousand
prisoners fell into the hands of the
Russias, who successfully occupied the
Austrian position and are busy re-
building the Notifications which were
partially destroyed before the Aus
trians retreated. An immense quanti-
ty of war material and military stores
were also taken at this point, so hur-
ried was the Austrian retreat the
whole army being compelled to retire
along broken paths leading onto the
Plains Of Bukowina.
In East Prussia, the Russian often
sive continues, with minor victories
claimed by Petrograd officials. These
officials assert the invasion of Ger
many in the East Prussian area con-
tinues to progress satisfactorily, and
the investment of the great fortress at
Konisberg will shortly begin, it is be-
lieved here. The Russian army of oc-
cupation in East Prussia now presents
an unbroken front stretching from the
Baltic Sea to central Poland, in the
north of which country further prog
ressl has been attained. The army OF
Northern Poland began a fianking
movement, directed against Field Mar
shal Won Hindenberg's force, and sue
cesses are declared to have been achiev
ed in that direction, as well as in
other parts of the ancient kingdom.
Before Warsaw, the German drive at
the Polish capital has lost much of its
force after thousands of the Kaiser's
best trained troops had been sacrificed
in the futile effort to conquer the Rus
sian defenders. Gigantic operations in
other sections of the eastern theatre
of hostilities have helped overshadoW
events in that section, and while Won
Hindenberg continues an offensive
movement agaist his oppohents, it is
generally conceded he will fail to at
tain his goal.

URGES RADIUM CONTROL

who do not know how to use ii, and

It, because thesu has not been STAN

use of radium should be put in the
hands Of the government laboratories

large institutions of merit. The lat

JAPANESE OPPOSE
SPECIAL POLL TAX

In the Saturday edition Of the Nippu
Jill, Editor Sega strongly condemns
Governor Pinkham's plan 10 establish
a special poll tax Of 81 annually to
create fund for lighting tuberculosis.
He declares it win work an Injustice
on the poor. In part. his editorial is
as follows:
Let US see the condition which
prevails among the plantation labor.
Eers. To pay the poll tax Of five dol
lars out Of their poor purses must be
q great burden to them. We consider
that any material raising OF the poll
tax. under any circumstance, is not an
intelligent move. The stricter the en-
forcement Of the raise, the more delin-
quency on the part of the taxpayers
will result.
Though we are sincere in our de-
sire to encourage the anti-tuberculosis
work by raising sufficient sum which
may enable the workers to secure
even better results In the campaign.
we deem it our duty to oppose the
plan which calls for any Increased
poll tax.

ing of all the senator's that this meant

esting point
The second whereas In this sec

on the newspaper correspondents. il
says that some doubt may arise yheth-
er newspaper men win be cIassed as

Since the original bill. now law, pro
Vides for. distinguished visitors, this
bill would assert that It Is doubtful
whether the newspaper correspond

Another point then arose, as to
whether Territorial Secretary Thayer.
as disbursing officer IN charge Of the
entertainment fund. would interpret
distinguished guests as including
newspaper men. The secretary hap
pened to stroll into the chamber at
that psychological moment and Eena-
tor Metzger put the query to him.
1T certainly is an elastic term ?
said Thayer, but should consider
that II the correspondents are distin-
guished by the Delegate, receiving in.
yitations from HIM. they would be dis
tinguished enough to receive the ben
eft Of the fund
Thayer added however, that he did
not think the sec, 700 would be suffi-

interpreted it as appropriating an adj

referred to himself as the official

new GOVERNMENT.
Plan FOR HAWAII
DEVELOPS Fight.

A warm tight against Senator ID. T.
Metzger's bin to reorganize Hawaii
county's government is promised in
the upper legislative branch tomorrow
afternoon, when the measure is to be
considered by the senate as whole.
It appears the, introducer is the only
Big Island SCION who Tavors the bin.
The other three, Baker, Makekau and
Rev. Desha, openly oppose it and de-
clare they will institute a vigorous
battle against the feature.
The Reorganization scheme provided
in Metzger's bill has received consid
cradle publicity the last year. II is
the outgrowth of the Hawaii county
graft scandal and the attendant III
yestigation, and the changes proposed
In the Metzger bin are taken practi.
cally intact from the report of COM
mittee appointed by the Hilo Board
of Trade last January to suggest re.
visions In the county act It. was felt,
that the graft scandal among the eoun
ty officials was due. in large part to
the method Of government and the re-
vision of the laws was suggested pri-
marily to remedy such faults. -.
Desha, Makekau and Baker, 1t is
understood, viii base their opposition.
to the bill on several arguments. For,
one thing, they argue the proposed
new system would entail additional
heavy overhead expense, greater than.
the expense under which the county:
government operates at the present
time Another objection is that the.
franchise would be taken from the.
electorate. The Metzger bill wouIi
have the supervisors appoint the coun-.
ty clerk, treasurer, sheriff, engineer
and attorney. AT the present. time
these officials are elected by direct.
vote of the people.
At lhe present time there are seven
supervisors. six elected from individ..
ual districts and a seventh at. large,
who becomes chairman Of the board
and under a new law, effective July 1.
next, receives q salary of $3.50
month. ~
The Metzger measure would divide
the island into seven districts, hays
ing the citizens in each district elect
a board Of five overseers, each board
of oyerseers in turn to elect one Of
its members as member OF the board
Of county supervisors. It would have
each board Of oYerseers meet once 3
month, the members being paid S.
day for three days, In addition to
going to and from the ses.
sions and certain other expenses In.
cidentaI to their attendance at the
meetings. Besides this. each member
Of the board of supervisors would re.
ceive $50 q month salary.
These, it is expected, are the princi.
pal features to which the three Big
