CAN'T PAY INTEREST LEGALLY

Atlanta. District agriculture
school IN Georgia cannot legally pay
interest on their past due debts.
An opinion to this effect was rend-
cred to Governor Slaton Tuesday
by Attorney general Warren Grice.
The attorney generals ruling was
made in response to a request from
the governor, who had been asked
by e nv. Butler, treasurer Of the
Eighth District Agriculture School,
if he would be permitted to pay in.
terest on past due debts. In his rul-
ing the attorney general held that
the agriculture schools are agencies
Of the state and therefore cannot
pay interest unless authorized by
the legislature III a special statute.
It appears that practically all Of the
district school have past due ac-
counts and that IN some instances
their creditors we're asking for in
terests.

Americus. A half million bush-
els Of grain, representing sumter's
magnificent crops of wheat, oats
and rye. is being harvested this
week, and every farm presents a
scene Of unusual activity. Three
hundred THOUSAND bushels Of oats
is the estimated yield, while bum
per crops Of wheat and rye will car
ny the total beyond the half million

The weather was propitious for
grain harvesting and many farmers
have their crops in barns already.
Agents representing -four mills are
here to make purchases of wheat,
although most farmers will keep
their grain. Sumter county need
not buy barrel Of -four next year,
bat will have it to sell instead.

today declare that boom is shortly
to be started to put j. q. Shepard.
a prominent attorney from Ameri-
Gus, in the race for speaker Of the
house in opposition to w. H. Bur-
well, Of Hancock county, present
speaker.
1t is understood that the prohibit

Mr.. Shepard make the race. It is
known that Mr.. Shepard has reciv-
ed dozens Of letters from all parts Of
the state urging that he get into the
race.
Mr.. Shepard has served serveFal

COTTON CROP is
BADLY RETARDED

Washington. Too much rain IN
Oklahoma and Arkansas and toe
little in Mississippi, Texas and
Louisiana retarded cotton some
what during the past week, accord
ing to the national weatherand crop
bulletin. The bulletin says
Warm weather prevailed and
but little rain occurred in the cot
ton belt during the week except in
Oklahoma and portions Of the ad-
Joining states, where the rainfall
was generally heavy. However, the
soil in these portions Of the belt
where little rain occurred is, in
moot cases, supplied with sufficient
moisture for present needs and no
harmful effects were produced ex-
cept locally in Mississippi and
Texas, where the late
planted crops need more moisture
for satisfactory termination, and
in Louisiana, where the crop is suff-
ering from the lack Of rain.
In Oklohoma and protions Of
Arkansas the soil was too wet for
cultivation and the crop is becom-
ing grassy, but in all other sections
Of the belt the early planted crop
is up to a good stand and well Gull
tivated. F"

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE CALLED
BY THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
City Of L8esburg Also Contemplating An Issue
Of $4,000 To Install WaeWOrks System

Citizens Of Lee county will have
'another opportunity to express
their opinion on the matter Of
bombs, for the county commissions
ers at their recelt meeting issued
another call for bonds, this time
for $50, 900 instead Of s25, 900.
So thoroughly convinced were
the commissioners that the people
Of the county wanted another op.
portunity to vote for bonds that
they decided to issue a second call.
1t has been freely said since the re-
cent election that the failure of the
bonds at that time was caused by
the fact that the issue was not made
large enough. The commissioners,
therefore, decided to increase the
issue to $50, 900, all Of which, if
the bonds are favored, will go to
the work on roads and bridges.
The city of Leesburg is likewise
considering the issuance of bonds.
A committee was appointed at the
recent meeting Of council to inyes-
tigate the advisability Of issuing
bonds for the purpose Of installing
waterworks and sewerage systems
here. The committee is now in
vestigating the matter and will re-
port at the next meeting Of council.
1t is thought that favorable action
will be taken by the committee, 30
that Leesburg may have adequate
water and sewerage systems to
match the excellent lighting system
now enjoyed here.

HARRIS WILL BE IN
AUGURATE JUNE rs

Atlanta. Word comes from Ma
con chat Goyernor-elect Nat r.
Harris, Of Macon, who has just re.
turned from a trip to Florida with
his wife, will probably pick Satur-
day, June 26, as the date for his
Inauguration as governor
In doing this Governor Harris
will do no moro than follow pre-.
cedent. For many wears it has
been the custom TO hold the inaug-
uration Of the new governor on the
Saturday following the converting
Of the new legislature. This year
the legislature meets on Wednes-
day, June 23rd, and in pursuance
Of ustom Inauguration day natural
" follows On Saturday, June 26.
It is always held in the house Of
representatives before a joint ses-
sion composed Of the two bodies,
and in recent years there has been
only one departure from this plan,
the time when the inauguration Of
Governor Smith was held on the
capitol lawn.
OF vastly more interest right
now would he some definite knowl-
edge as to Goyernor-elect Harris
attitde on the prohibition situation.
There are some Georgians who
would give a good deal to know
just how he stands on this subject.
Nobody seems to have any definite
knowledge about it.
They know in a general way that
Judge Harris is a prohibitionist.
But as to the extremity or consery-
atism of his prohibition views they
know ssnext to nothing. Would
Governor Harris veto or approve q
bill calculated to put the Georgia
breweries out Of business? That
seems to be the most interesting
question right now.
Notwithstanding that the govern
or-elect is said not to have the kind
Hest feelings toward the Anti-Salodn
League because Of its failure to sup
port him in the recent campaign it
is understood the beer men would
rather not have the proposition put
up to him. 1t would be their pre-
ference to see any measure calculst-
ed to kill the breweries held off by
the legislature itself, because they
don't know what Governor Harris
action would be, and they are not

age decreased about one-fith due to
Il disastrous season last year. while
the cantaloupe acreage increased By
almost half. It is explained that
there is heavy increase in canta-
loupe acreage near Fitzgerald and
this accounts for a considerable
amount Of the acreage in Georgia,
Figures for Georgia are: WatermsI-
ons, 1914, $4,000; 1915, 5000;

Quoting from the report.
It does not appear from the in
formation available that there has
been material change in The acreage
Of watermelons and cantaloupes in
North Carolina. In South CorOIina
the watermelon acreage decreased
20 per cent and the acreage in canta-
loupes about 20 per cent. In Georgia
the watermelon acreage decreased
about 20 per cent and the acreage
in cantoloupes increased about As

The convention is one that it is
expected will prove Of great inter-
est and importance just at this time

especially in view of the greata-
mount Of interest being manifested
in the live stock industry this year
as compared with previous years,
anu the marked tendency on part
of farmers to break away from all

Commencing at 8 o'clock in the
morning Cattle Tick Eradication

sed by Hon. Peter F. Bahnsen, state
veterinarian. The discussion Of the

products for human consumption,
especially with view to combat

These addresses will all be made
in the forenoon at the council cnam-

The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1915-06-03

very anxious to take any chances,
More and more there come ru-
nors that this Legislature will wit
ness a bigger prohibition fight than
that in which the Georgia prohibit
ton law was passed in 1907. The
coming legislature is certainly not
as strongly prohibition as was that
which passed the general law, but
it is generally indicated that the
prohiBitionists have u majority in
both houses and it looks as if the
other side has got to depend largely
on tactical manoeuvering.
The situation is one which makes
the attitude of the governor a fact
of extreme interest. Ifasked today
how he stood Governor. elect Harris
would probably reply that he is a
prohibitionist. If asked his view or
for an expression as to any measure
which might be passed on the sub
jet by the legislature he would no
doubt say that he would consider
that when it came to him and act
in accordance with his views Of the
particular measure that is presented.
1t is a situation that is altogether
up in the air and it viii take the
actual meeting and organization Of
the legislature itself to afford any
adequate line upon which prediction
might be based.

form a stencil that grips you at the

be properly described, but is enough
to give a person who is not accus-

to an attack Of vertigo.
