Berlin, Aug. 30.--Admiral Won Tir-
pitz, the head of the German navy,
agrees with Chancellor Won Beth.
mann-Holweg and War Minister Won
Jagow that Germany should adjust all
differences With the United States im-
mediately
The admiral does rot believe, how
ever that such an adjustment can be
obtained only through the disayowal
Of the acts of the submarine command
ers and the German point of view. He
hopes that the United States win con-
slider the informal representations al.
ready made sufficient until the offic-
ial report OF the submarine command
er who's ank the Arabic is obtained.
1t is believed that the question AZ
to whether the sinking OF the Arabic
will be disaynwed viii depend largely
upon the nature OF the report of the
submarine commander. Won Tirpitz
was the originator of the German
methods OF submarine warfare.

COURT ASKS
FOR BRIEFS

Judge win Linn of the district court
has asked the state and the banks to
furnish briefs on the matter of taxa
ton of banks owning state builoing
bonds. Attorney Melton for the banks,
that are appealing from the action of
the county equalization board and
smith c. Matson. assistant attorney
general, argued the case before Judge
Linn Saturday afternoon.
The banks are seeking exemption
from taxation on capital and surplus in
an amount equal to the amount of state
building bonds they own. This was
given them. il is declared, by statute,
but II is thought that the legislative
enactment is unconstitutional. If the
banks lose their contention, Grads
county revenue will be increased some
$4,000. The First National alone owns
SIS 900 in the state paper. A decis
ion is expected within two weeks

GRADY GETS
$lO,OOOFOR
SCHOOL

More than ten thousand dollars were
received in Treasurer Mullican's office
the last of the week from the state
department as Grady county's part
of the state school land money and
of the state apportionment OF other
funds for school purposes. The school
land money amounted to s6339.60.
That received from the other fund was
$3,69S.1O.
According to reports from the state
capital the first apportionment Of
school funds by the state land commits
sion for the CURRENT fiscal year ending
June 80, 1916, amounts to $550,000 OF
90 cents per capita for the public
school population. The next appor'
tionment in January, 1916, will be con
siderably larger and the prospect is
that the total for the year will be
greater than for any previous year in
The history of the state.
The revenue from the school lands is
consetantly increasing and the sales
this year of considerable quantities Of
school lands will give new impetus
to this increase, since school lands
will give new impetus to this in
crease, since from lands sold, in inter
est on notes for deferred payments, al
ways exceeds the rentals received
from the same lands.

Bradstreets burlington office. in sum

the month were in number the smallest
for any month except April of this year
since June, 1911. OF the three failures of
this month, involving assets of So, 80
and liabilities of sE,3-5. one of them was
a voluntary bankruptcy. The month has
shown Il further Improvement in the ma
chine manufacturing line. Not only was
this made possible by reason Of demand
for war material. but there has been APP
parent a slight increase in the domestic
orders. In one instance, the working
iorce Is to y" doubled and a night shift
is to be employed. There has been Il
large demand for shoddy. The month
has also witnessed an Improvement in
the demand for knitting maChinc,y
brought about on the part of the manu-
fhcturcrs in the United States. Manu-
facturers of brushes also note an i'm
nroVement in the general demand. Cold
weather for May has prevailed and this
has affected general business in the
ilShter weight goods. but aided in tho
disposition of other lines Business at
the retail stores is noted as only fair
The past week has noted damage to gar
den truck and the crop of stray berrie IS
was seriously affected. Planting is late
and early crops will be curtailed to some
extent.
The resumption of work among the
granite manufacturers was an important
FACTOR and while the volume of work in

roofing slate holds up we'll but mill
stock continues weak Paper manufac-
turers report no material Improvement

May with those of a year ago, II will
be noted that there were four last wear
