The plans are now laid for an
election May 22nd-to arrive
at the opinion of the voters Of
the county as TO the ACCESSIBILITY
of issuing bonds to secure money
for building gravel or permanent
roads Ii is understood that the
taxpayers of Fulton county have
paid something like $4,000 a
year for road work for a num-
Der of years. Ii ten years is TAX
en- as the basis, then we We spent
$4,000 in that time trying to
hold the roads in good shape.
This is half the amount asked on
the bond issue-half enough tour
part to gravel the roads and was
dug up in ten years instead Of
fifteen, as proposed under the
State aid plan And what have
we to show for the money spent
A hundred times during the past
three months we've heard said
that the roads We're in as bad
condition this winter as was ey-
er known. So. where is your
$4,000 spent last year. The Fis-
cal Court cannot be blamed. 1t
is Just simply dirt roads against
the elements. With the exception
of one section, the elements Were
victorious and will continue so
until hard roads are laid. The
whole matter resolves itself into
the question: Do We prefer hard
roads to dirt roads at the same
price The question has been
raised as to whether 100000
would gravel all the roads in the
county and take care of the IN.
terest. The Courier does not pro
pose to say as to this. II is a
matter for competent engineer

COMPLIMENTS RECORD OF
SENATOR WILL FROST.

We notice in his district paper
that Hon. w. A. Frost, of the
First Senatorial district, is a can
didate for reelection. AS a State
Senator, in the editors opinion,
no one ever rendered the State
more valuable or faithful service
than Senator Frost. As clerk of
that body, the editor can say he
was always at his post of duty,
doing that which he believed TO
be for the best interest of his dis
trict and for the great masses of
his State. As caucus chairman,
acting chairman of the committee
ON rules and a member of num-
Der of other important com
mittees, he was always at the
forefront with indomitable cour-
age and splendid resources. En-
ergetic, honest, courageous and
faithful to every duty imposed
on him by his people, he should
be renominated and reelected
without opposition within his
own party, if that party loves 60
favor a high-class, faithful pub
lie servant, which il undoubtedly
does. He stood like a stone wall
for the moral uplift of his State,
the taxpayers and the grand old
Confederates' interests on every
turn in the Senate, and no
single act of his during the two
sessions in which he served,
which did not have a ring of a
high and honest purpose and for
serving the greatest number
when crystalized into law. We
believe the district that Senator
Frost represents is composed
of fair-minded and patriotic
people; if it is, it will return him
in order TO render them even
greater and better service than
before; if it does not do so, merit
and reward count only for
naught, Honor W. A. Frost and
you more than honor yourself in
doing so, is the wish of one who
has an insight to his really true
worth.-Anderson County News.

London. Nov. 18.-By the time this
is published Winston Churchill will be
in France, for he left London this
morning, wearing his officers uniform
and with a sword dangling at his side.
His mother and wife were about the
only ones to see him off in the dark,
gloomy, foggy morning. He was prac-

joining my regiment as any other Of
ficer does, and there's nothing more IN
it than that"
With these parting words he jumped
into the carriage.
In the House of Commons this even.
ing the suggestion that Mr.. Churchill
should write eyewitness" dispatches
from the west front was met with a
reply from Arthur Tennant, who said
he understood Mr.. Churchill desired
to WELD a sword rather than a pen
and it was mot proposed to interfere
with the unfettered exercise OF his
wishes in this respect"
Mr.. Churchill became widely known
as a soldier before he began his po-
litical career. He entered the army
in 1895 after being graduated from
Sandhurst. He served with the Mala.
kand field force in 1897, was present
at the operations in Bajaur, and served
with the Tirah and Nile expeditionary
forces. being present at the battle OF

Anthrax, contracted from a cheap fur
collar on her suit, caused the death at
Bellevue yesterday of Sophie Rosen,
a seventeen-year.old packer in Huyler's
candy factory, at Irving Place and
Eighteenth Street The girl is the
fourth human victim of this animal
disease within fve weeks. Her death,
according to Dr.. Leslie L. Roos, Of the
State Department Of Labor, is warn
ing 10 girls and women who demand
fur on her clothes when they can
not afford 70 pay for the genuine ar
ticle.
As the result Of this case, DR.. Roos
and DR.. Rosalie Bell, Of the Department
of Labor, yesterday examined 260 girls
employed at the Huyler factory. The
big packing room OF the plant was fu-
migated last night and adjoining rooms
whitewa.hed. A physician, DR.. Roos
said, will inspect employees every morn
ing for a week, and the city Health De-
partment will fumigate the tenement
at PIC Seventh Street, where Sophie
lived with her father.
An investigation will also begin this
morning, DR.. Roos continued. to hnd

dealer.
The Eichorn serum, invented by DR..
Adolph Eichorn, of the Bureau OF AMI

according to Dr.. Morris Fucker. Of

She worked on Friday and Saturday,
however, at the Huyler factory, and he
was called in Sunday. Examination
showed & small gray spot on her right
breast. This spot became red and in
famed within the next two days, and
her condition became so alarming that
he sent her to Bellevue.
1t is DR.. Roos's theory that the girl,
who wore low-cut waist, had a slight
abrasion, which became infected with
bacilli in her fur collar. The suit, he
said, was a cheap one, purchased three
weeks ago for SIC.
Unlike previous anthrax cases, there
was no swelling. The anthrax pus-
matter, DR.. Fleming said, but otherwise
there was none of the usual indica-
tions of the disease.
The Huyler factory was given clean
bill of health by DR.. Roos yesterday,
who ordered the place fumigated
merely as precaution.
Every girl employed in the packing
department" he said, wears white
gloves, and her hands are not permit
ted to touch the stock. Sophie, who
had been there only three weeks, was
employed as a paperbox handler. The
company takes every measure to keep
its place sanitary. There is no danger
of an epidemic"
Other anthrax cases have included
that of Judge George F. StackpoIe, Of
Riverhead, l.. l., who died in Bellevue
on October 10; George Miller, who also
died in Bellevue few days earlier. and
John Z. Burns, of Madison, n. j., vic

The disease, according to DR.. Roos
and physicians at Bellevue, is usually
contracted from hides or leather.

NAME MANCHESTER
IN MUNITIONS CASE
London Prosecutor Thinks Duke
Tried to HOodWink Censor
with Cable Code.
tBy Cable TO The Tribune.

London, Nov. 1s.-The name Of the
Duke of Manchester was mentioned In
a sensational police court case to-day
when Victor Sly was charged before a
Bow Street magistrate with unlawful
dealings in war munitions. According
to the charge, Sly, without having a
permit from the Admiralty, Army
Council or Minister of Munitions,
"aided and abetted one Barter, Of New
York. in entering into negotiations for
dealing in trinitrotoluol, which, II done
in the United Kingdom. would be in
contravention Of the defence Of the
realm regulations.
Prosecuting Attorney Bodkin said
that Sly wrote 10 the authorities on
September q asking permit to deal
in war materials under the regulations
made on September "a, mentioning that
he represented we'll known manufact-
urers in the United States and Can
ada, including the Universal Tool
Steel Company Of Toronto, the Macken-
zie Canadian Corporation, the Ontario
Ammunition Company, the Federal
Manufacturers, Knoxville, and John W.
Garland, Pittsburgh. On September %,
after reference TO the Russian govern
ment, the permit was refused because
Sly was judged as not a person of
suitable position to enter into such
negotiations.
Despite this, Sly continued to nego-
tiate for a supply of rifles and picric
acid, being closely connected with
Barnes, of New York; Barter. of New
York; John W. Garland and Lieron,
Of Petrograd. Many cables passed be-
tween the parties. One Of them, on
October 4, attracted the notice of the
censor, who wrote 10 the sender that
he had rendered himself liable to
prosecution for rendering cable relat-
ing TO Mauser rifles. Despite the
warning, the cables continued. One on
October % was addressed TO Garland
stating that he was dealing direct with
a government, which was believed to
be the Russian. for rife cartridges
Many cables relating 70 all kinds OF
munitions also were found. which
passed between Sly and the Duke of
Manchester in Paris in private code,
"Piccadilly" being the term used for
the War Office.
at would seem that Sly and the
duke put their heads together to hood
wink the authorities by communicat-
ing in a secret code" concluded Mr.
Bodkin.
The case was adjourned for week
to enable counsel to examine all tne
documents seized.
