NEEDED REPAIR WORK
ON ATLANTIC AVENUE

After finishing with the shell haul
ing on Ocean boulevard and patching
a short strip on Earl street, the team
sters of F. F. Smith are drawing river
she'll to the east side Of the street
car track on Atlantic avenue. Since
the street car track was put in about
two years ago this strip Of road has
been in very poor condition and has
been so overgrown with weeds and so
rough that it has been very little
used.
All vehicles have been using the
west side of the road, causing q good
deal of confusion when the traffic has
been heavy. With the present repair
ing finished the drivers will able to
obey the traffic ordinance and keep
to the right side of the track when
travelling north.
This has also been bad street in
wet weather. In places the track In
the middle has been covered with
nearly foot of water and by making
the level higher this water will run
to each side of the street instead of
staying in the center.

hvnTRIx PRACTISES
THRILLING DEATH DIP
RUTH LAW WORKING ON THE So
CALLED "DIP OF DEATH"-MAY
TRY "LooP-THE-LooP" SOME
TIME LATER.

Ruth Law, the plucky aviatrix, who
has fine new Curtiss machine at her
hangar at the Nautilus in Seabreeze,
frightened many of the peninsula
people half out of their wits Tues
day and yesterday. by flying to an
altitude of between 1000 and 5000
feet and apparently losing control of
her machine.
The aeroplane actually falls from
the skies to within few hundred feet
Of the ground when 1t suddenly be-
comes manageable and wheels In q
few circles to the landing on the
beach.
Scores of people have thought that
the brave lady fyer was taking her
last trip and have started in the di
rection of the Nautilus to view the
wreck of the flying machine only to
see the aeroplane commence soaring
up to the clouds again to try another
thriller"
This feat Is styled the dip OF
death" In some places and is in real
ity quite difficult to accomplish.

lines Of some which are used for turn

SEABREEzE NEEDS
WATER SPRINKLER

The dusty condition of the Sea-

a water sprinkler.
Daytona Beach has recently put
into use its new water wagon and
has somewhat allayed the dust NUS

A slight cost for laying the dust
clouds would be much better in the

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 2S.-Atlanta
citizens who are directing the cam
paign to secure the inclusion of the
prohibition bills in Governor Harris
call and to have them passed at the
extra session, issued a statement to-
day denying absolutely the newspaper
stories published to the effect that the
prohibition forces were willing to COM
promise with the liquor interests on a
basis of including only one bill, known
as the anti-shipping bill, in the gov
ernors call
They declare that the first question
to be settled is whether a two-thirds
majority of the house shall be allowed
to consider and vote upon these bills,
or whether the rules committee of that
body shall dictate the procedure of the
house and block the consideration OF
all measures that are opposed by mem
bers of that committee, regardless OF
the majority will.
THE story about compromise is
absurd and groundless," declared the
gentlemen issuing the statement THE
prohibitionists will insist that unqual-
flied prohibition be included in the gov
enors call, and that accordant action
be taken by the legislature.
mo compromise has been or will b.
thought of. The Overwhelming ma
jority of the peoples Representatives
are determined to fight to the las;
ditch for the principles involved. They
stand ready to confer with any
friends or group Of friends in the
cause of true prohibition, whatever
their plans or methods, but with the
enemies or prihibition there can be

no compromise.
1t is rather amusing at this date
when the friends of prohibition sight
certain victory, for the advocates OF
the long tabooed liquor traffic to talk
about a compromise which will
abridge the pending legislation to re
strain the business of selling and ad
vertising intoxicants. Just now the
question is whether the friends of re-
strictive legislation who are in so
large a majority are really members
OF the legislature with constitutional
rights, or whether they are to be hood
winked and set at naught by a few
liquor dealers who have obtained con-
troll of important committees and
other administrative functions of fthe
general assembly.
After the question has been set
tied as to whether a few members o.
the house will permit two-third ma
jority of 120 members to originate and
vote upon those measures which they
regard as important to the welfare Of
the state, then the Question of compro
mise may be raised on such measures
as may legitimately permit of compro-
mise The friends of prohibition liz
Georgia have had compromise in
large and small doses ad nauseum
The intelligent people of the state
want the prohibition question settled
in the interest of law, order and de-
cency, and want it settled once and
for all. Let no section of the public
be deceived by any other talk"

Russians Deny Peace.
(By Associated Press,1

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Vigorous denial
is made by the Russian government
that they have thought of making a
separate peace, through the Petrograj
foreign and war ministers.
Special dispatches from Petrograd
say that the Russians are about to dig
themselves in to the new trenches or
their defensive lines.
The Russian military writer's il
Petrograd are of the opinion that the
German turning movement will not
seriously threaten the capital of Rus
sia this fall.
The Germans have apparently made
no progress in their efforts to secure
control of the Baltic coast, but the
latest news, however, indicates that he
Germans have not given up the idea of
naval cooperation towards this end
Berlin reports that German war
ships bombarded Dago Island, which
commands the entrance to the Gulf of
Finland.

onoff, declares emphatically that there
is no disagreement among the allied
commanders. He says, there can be
no peace while German soldiers re

CAOP RAPIDLY
BEING MARKETED
ABOUT A|NER|CUS

Americus warehouses received near
ly 500 bales cotton today, the re
ceipts being the best for any day this
season, to date. Farmers are gather
ing the crop rapidly, while the
weather is fine and the staple unstain-
ed by bad weather, and they will sell
their bales as fast as marketed. Prices
today were around ga cents, which
while seemingly high, are not at ali
so, when the short crop here is really
considered.
Spinners and northern spectators
cry ''contraband cotton" to depress
the market and frighten the growers
but the fact remains the 1914 bumper
crop was bought for one-half of the
cost of growing, and resold to splen-
did advantage in spite of the war.
They made fortune.
When the world knows for a fact
that there is only two or three bales
made to the plow, it will sit up and
take notice and cotton will soar pro-
badly to Csc, but by that time it will
have passed from the growers hands
into the hands of speculators-who
will reap a rich reward.
The farmers reduced their crop
about rs per cent. and still another re
duction of about so per cent. on ac
count of the drouth, makes total of
about rs per cent reduction from last
years crop. If this was known in &
general way, it would have great
tendency to advance the market.

FAMOUS BRIDGE IS OBJECT
Of ALLIED ATTACK
(By Associated Press.)

ATHENS, Aug. 2S.-The Galata
Bridge at Constantinople which has
been an object of British submarine
and aeroplane attacks, is the chief of
two bridges which cross the Golden
Horn and connect Galata with Stam-
boul. The bridge was completed by 3
German company in 1912, and replaced
by iron an old wooden structure by
which connection was maintained be-
tween these two important quarters of
the capital. The bridge was construct
ed in such way that certain sections
can be opened in order to allow yes
sells to pass into the inner and naval
ports of the city.
The bridge is one of the most fre-
quented places in all Constantinopls
Along it's sided run a series of land
ing stages from which sail steam
ers for Scutari, for the islands in the
Sea of Marmora, and for the Bospho
rus. A toll is levied on all persons
crossing the bridge. It's sides are
lined with a picturesque assemblage
of beggars afflicted with all manner Of
diseases, which in Eastern fashion are
advertised to the passer by in hopes of
securing monetary assistance In the
crowd which daily crosses the bridge
are representatives of every nationality

COTTON BOOMs;
PRICE SOARING
HIGHEST NOTCH
MARKET UP 80 POINTS AND DE-
MAND STRONG.

Americus warehouses are today the
scenes of more than usual activity
and have again taken on the aspect of
"Sully Days" when everybody wanted
cotton and the price went aeroplain-
ing. These are not Sully days exactly.
but the world this week seems to be
after cotton and farmers who wish to
sell can find buyer blindfolded.
Eight and half cents is being free
ly paid in Americus today, while a
prediction of nine cents ere the sun
sets Saturday is advanced.
England and Germany are both
hustling to buy cotton ere the crop is
exhausted, and the demand from thesY
sources and other foreign countries is
putting up prices. The demand is
strong today, as indicated by the ad-
vance of quarter cent this morning
alone, and that prices will go much
higher is the general belief here.
Americas warehouses have received
about $500 bales new cotton to cate
and the major portion of this, as well
as much old cotton of last years crop,
has been sold at prices ranging from
I to 1-2 cents.
