DOLLAR DINNER
WITH THE UNIQUE.
FEATURE: PLANS.

The parade and Dollar Dinner to
follow at the Hotel Windsor is going
to be one of the biggest events ever
pulled off in the state of Georgia
The big coffin, 20 feet long and four
feet wide, is now at the Chamber of
Commerce and will be finished and fit
ted up with the necessary silver han
dies and ornaments by Mr.. Nat LeMas
ter of the Americus Undertaking Com
pany. 1t is, indeed, one huge af-
fair.
There were many callers at the
Chamber of Commerce today, after the
remains of Mr.. o. U. Knocker arrive l..
to view the big coffin Many ex-
pressed the sadness of being knocker
and said they would never be caught
knocking this town again. The re
mains will lie in state in front of the
Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday af-
ternoon from 400 P. M. to 700 P. M.
Many kilograms poured into the
Chamber of Commerce this morning
stating that they would send hun
dreds of handsome souvenirs to be
given away free to the guests of the
Dollar Dinner. The souvenirs are
valuable; there are many of them,
from a pair of silk socks to box Of
Nunnally's candy.
The tickets are going lively, and
will all be sold out long before Tues
day Only 200 plates will be laid, as
this is the capacity of the dining room.
When these are all sold there will
positively be no more issued.
The Dollar Dinner is for men only
This announcement is made, because
it was thought by some that the ladies'
would be invited We hope to reach
every Americus business and profes-
sional man that night, and there is not
sufficient room for all. The ladies will
have a Booster Dinner given to them
very soon, and at that time a Woman's
improvement Commission will be or
ganized as an adjunct to the Chamber
of Commerce.

BEEN AIDING GERMANS

ROCK ISLAND, Ill.,, Sept. 1.-THE
Board of Foreign Missions of the
General Council of the Lutheran
Church in America reported at the
biennial convention of the general
council here today that, owing to the
world war, the Lutheran church in
America has been called upon to rer.-
der aid to a number of German mis-
sions. The general councils foreign
board has added to it's care missiona
ries of the Gossner, Leipzig, Schles-
wig-Holstein and Hermansburg mis-
sions in India. Another effect of the
war is that a number of Lutheran
Missionaries who had planned to &C
out from America a year ago have
been kept back, there being force Of
Ia missionaries who are waiting to
be commissioned in some special ser
vice.
The proposal to establish a joint
seminary at Madras, India, in which
Lutherans of Europe and America are
to cooperate has been delayed, also
on account of the war
The year 1917, in addition to being
the 400th anniversary of the beginning
of the Reformation will mar kthe 18th
anniversary of the departure of Father
Heyer from Philadelphia to found the
first Lutheran mission in India It
is proposed to make the anniversary
of general missionary celebration in
the Lutheran church.
The receipts for foreign mission
work during the year were $215,352.

Americus wilted under the scorch-

the palm beach suit of the son of mas

on yesterday, the mercury climbed up
to the hundred notch and would have
gone higher had not owners put them
in the ice box for safety. Not a lea:

Washington promise cooler weather
tomorrow, and those who live through
today will find needed relief.

LANSING CALLS ON
GEORGIA SEED CRUsHERS

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept .11.-Hon.
Robt. Lansing, secretary of state, has
notified President E. C. Ponder, of the
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association OF
Georgia, asking that members of this
association furnish to the state de
partment copies, in triplicate, Of any
cable messages passing between these
members and the European countries,
which are known not to have been de-
livered, as claimed in the protest filel
with the department of state by the
various cotton oil men throughout the
Souh.
This information was contained in Q
letter which has been sent out to
the members of the Cotton Seed Crush
ers' association of Georgia, by Secre
tary E. P. Chivers, of this city, and as
a result of this call it is expected thai
a number of complaints will be lodged
with Secretary Lansing.
1t is recalled that several weeks
ago the membership of this association
through its individuals, protested to
the department of state against the
alleged unwarranted interference, on
the part of cable service between the
South and European countries, on
the sale of cotton seed products.
1t is impossible to conduct trade
relations without the use of he ca
BILE, and any interference on the par:
of Great Britain is working a hardship
on the South.

with military preparedness was urg-
ed by Albert Greene Duncan, of Bos-

citation of Cotton Manufacturers, in an
address before the semi-annual mtet.
ing of that association here today.
I'VE have" said Mr.. Duncan, for
many years relied on our splendid iso-
lation, and neither in military prep
aration nor in the full development OF
our resources have we ever built up
that independence, as a nation, that
has been, in relations between man and
man, the keynote of our government:
from its inception.
AS the expanse of oceans which
ooPoi dle oui SHoIeS from pOSSlDle
foes have made us Indifferent to ad-
mittedly inadequate provisions for de-
Tense, our separation from the severe
commercial rivalries of Europe have
closed our eyes to the necessity ot
commercial independence. Serene in
our determination not to be party to
any European struggle, we never imag
ined we could be the victims of a quar-
rel not of our own making, nor THAI
any possible embodiment of other ma
tions could be so far-reaching that we
should suffer from it's effects in our
world trade relations and even in our
domestic affairs.
Military preparedness and indus
trial preparedness should go hand in
hand. The sinews of war must b.
provided by the latter before the for
mer can be developed to its full ex
tent; and by commercial preparedness,
/ mean not only the Strengthening OF
those industries which would necessa-
rily contribute supplies for a possible
war, but all enterprises of manufac
ture, transportation and distribution,
so that we can put behind any body of
men enlisted in the nation's defense
a united, prosperous, contented, de-
termined population, and be able to
supply all the varied wants of our
people and furnish the fullest support
to the government in any time OF
trial"

IRISH LEAVE ENGLAND
IN SEARCH For CROPS

MANCHESTER, England, Sept. IL.
In Cheshire and Lancaster, counties
on the west coast the farmers rely
largely on Irish laborers for the
harvesting of their grain crops, but
this year the supply of this labor has
beeen seriously depleted by the depar-
ture of most of the laborers for Ire
land, in order to escape the National
Register
The farmers gave the laborers ev
cry possible assurance that the regis
tration did not involve them in any
fresh responsibilities and did not
mean impending conscription. The
men, however, seemed to be convinced
that the registration form meant that
in some way they would be placed un-
der the eye of the government ani
sooner or later snatched for military
service In most parts of Ireland reg
istration is not required.

BELGIAN 8 BURIED MONEY
IS SAFE FROM INVADERS

LONDON, Sept ia refugee Bel
gian professor, who buried his entire
fortune, consisting of $250000 worth
of stocks, bonds, jewels, gold and
plate, in his garden at Malines, before
he fed from that city, has just receiv-
ed word from the United States consul
at Malines that his property is safe
and has been taken under the guard
ianship of the United States govern
ment. The house was bombarded and
later burned to the ground, but the
buried treasure in the garden was
not disturbed.
Some time after he reached London.
the professor went to the American
Embassy here, gave the man detailed
plan of his house and garden and told
them where his treasure was hid
The search was successfully carried
out by the American consul at NAL
ines and the property is now regis
tered in his name, pending its re-
lease from German trusteeship when
the war is over.

SOUTH ANSWERS BOIL
WEEV|L WITH HOGS

COLUMBUS, Ga, Sept 11.-More
certificates of membership in a ma
tional association OF breeders of one
of the principal breeds of pure bred
hogs have been issued to hog raisers
in Georgia this year than in any other
state in the union, as shown by an ar
ticle by the secretary of the associa-
ton, which will be published in the
September issue of Southeast Live
Stock.
This is part of the answer of the
Southeast to the boil weevil question, :"
says Walter J. Woodall, editor OF
Southeast Live Stock. A large part OF
the remainder of the answer is to be
found in the shipment Of solid train
loads of beef cattle from Southeastern
states to Western markets Ship
ments of this character are now be-
coming frequent. The Southeast has
never made greater strides in any
great business endeavor that it IS
making now in the live stock industrg
and the raising of live stock means
necessarily the growing of more grain
and hay crops, which automatically
reduces the cotton crop. 1t means also
the keeping in this section Of literally
millions Of dollars which heretofore
have been sent to other parts of the
country for live stock products.

Since Tuesday the investigators Of
the department of entomology have
discovered the weevil in three addi-
tional counties-Dougherty, Lee and
Terrell. This makes eight counties
in which the weevil has been found
the previous five being Decatur, Grady.
Brooks, Thomas and Mitchell.
Mr., Worsham says there can be lit

are also infested and he saws he is

weevil in Baker, Early, Calhoun, Clay,
Randolph, Quitman and, perhaps othef
counties.

An Encouraging Letter.

Prof. J. C. Guilds, head master of
Carlisle school, has received the fol-
lowing letter from Rev. Paul T.
Wood, of Mars Bluff, S. c.:
"You may expect eight boys and
girls from Liberty charge to arrive
in time for the opening of Carlisle
school. Other prospects are still un-
certain.
"Am planning to accompany our
delegation in keeping with promise
made to some of the parents.
ttTwo of the eight were at Carlisle
last year, and parents as we'll as
neighbors are surprised at the result
of a single year in your school.
With best wishes for your continued
success, etc.
Rev. Mr.. Wood is former Carlisle
boy, and has deep interest in the
school, which he believes one of the
best in the State. 1t is interesting
to note that one of the "still uncer-
TAIN students mentioned has since
forwarded an application for en-
trance at the opening.
