WAR CAUSES ENORMOUS
JUMP IN DRUG PRICES

The European war has not only
increased the cost of living but here
after it is going to cost more to die
by the carbolic acid route, that popu-
lar suicide agency having jumped
from l5 cents per pound wholesale
to $1.75 per pound. Carbolic acid is
strictly a German product. The only
attempt ever made in this country to
manufacture it was of Thomas e.
Edison, who uses large quantities of
1t in laboratory work.
Other acids or drugs originating
in Germany or controlled by German
capitalists, have increased corre-
spondingly. This is especially true
of quinine. In the last thirty days
there has been tremendous increase
and all the local druggists have felt
it.
One druggist who has been buying
bis quinine put up in packages which
retailed at 10 cents, for which he
paid S5 cents per dozen, was
thnnderstruck last Saturday to re-
ceive notification from the whole
saler that quinine was so scare that
the price had advanced from S5 cents
per dozen packages to $2.25 per doz-
en-. Quinine is produced in South
America, but the output is controlled
by German capital to a very great
extent, hence the great increase.
Asperin, which is also a strictly
German production, has advanced
from 81 per pound to s12 per
pound, to the dealer.-St, Petersburg
Times.

N0RWAY'S MERCANTILE
FLEET DEVELOPED SINCE WAR
(By Associated Press

Christina, Norway, Nov. 5-Nor-
ways mercantile fleet has developed
surprisingly since the beginning Of
the war. Every available ship, in
Guiding old sailing vessels discarded
years ago, has been refitted and
mobilzed for traffic, especially in the
North Sea. High freight rates have
made this trade so profitable that
one Or two successful trips pay for
the entire cost of the ship. and ship
owners have become vastly wealthy.
Even the most conservative persons
have yielded to the lure of specula-
tion in ship stocks and have invested
all their spare savings. Stock COM
panies are formed daily and even be-
fore the ship has been delivered into
the possession of the new company,
shares have been sold and resold
many times at increasing rates. The
newspapers are warning investors
against ovcr-speculation, explaining
that as soon as the war is over,
scores of ships now tied up will again
be available for traffic. that the high
freight rates will drop and the over
capitalized ships will be unable to
pay their present high rate of inter
est.

HAPP1EST DARKEY IN GEORGIA

The happiest and luckiest darkey
in Georgia is C. B. Sanders, cotton
picker. who lives near the little town
OF Empire, and who woke up at mid
night with a yell to find that his
warm bed was occupied by large
fat 'possum. George was naturally
frightened to death, not knowing g
whether it was a rattlesnake or a
willowampus, until he got a match
and lighted the kerosene lamp. and
then when he beheld Brer 'Possum
curled up in the blanket, his face be-
came suffused With a great joy. 81
reckon de Lord has sent you, an here
you'se gwine to stay" he remarked,
as he seized Mr.. Possum by the tail.
And the next day George and his
family and his neighbors had a feast
fit FOR a Ethiopian king.-Moultrie

OPPOSES VIEWS
EXPRESSED BY PRESIDENT

MURDERER OF OFFICER WILL
SWING FOR HIS CRIME

Quincy, Fla, Nov 5-Remainins
out less than one hour, the jury in
the trial of Dock Mcdonald, charged
with the killing of Constable Jir,
Bush, of River Junction, in June,
1914. rendered a verdict of guilt in
the first degree, and inasmuch no
recommendation for mercy was
made it is presumed that judge
Campbell will have to pass the death
sentence.
Mcdonald was convicted of the
murder of one of the best-known Of
ficials in Gadsden county. After the
deed he escaped to some unknown
part of the country. Finally, after
a years absence, he was located in
Dothan, Ala. He was brought back
to this city to await trial, but on ac-
count of increasing sentiment against
the negro the sheriff caused him to
be transferred to Jackson Vile for
safekeeping. He was kept there un-
til two weeks ago, when brought
here for trial.

About the Roamer

Speaking of the recent criticism
by the grand jury of Levy and
Franklin counties as to the amount
expended in, operating the new
steamer Roamer, Mr. Hodges said:
| The facts are, the Legislature
! practically bought the boat when
/ they appropriated $4,000 with
| which to buy her The operating ex-
I penses of this boat amount to less
than $40 per day when she has a full
crew and is in operation, and less
than $40 per day when she Is lying
; idle. II does not cost $3.50 to run
the entire department, including the
I salary of deputies and everyone con
nected with the department. If
am going to carry on the work prop
erly on both the Gulf and Atlantic
sides, it is absolutely necessary for
me to have boats with which to cover
the territory, and good stout seam
ship, such as we have, is an abso-
Lutte necessity. This boat Is we'll
worth s75. 900, and I purchased her
for less than SIS, 5,O00 which think
Is good bargain for the State"
Commenting upon the report that
certain Florida fishermen operating
in the vicinity of Fernandina have
been arrested by the Georgia
authorities for the alleged non-pay-
ment of license tax. Mr.. Hodges de-
clared that the Georgia law does not
impose a license tax on citizens Of
this State OF any other State. but
positively prohibits their fishing in
the Georgia waters at all. while the
Florida law will issue a license to
nonresident to fifish in the waters
of the State for the sum OF $40.
Florida permits fishing by outsiders
in the State, while Geongia does not,
showing that Georgia is taking even
more drastic measures to conserve
the fish than Florida is" Mr..
Hodges commented.

PASS RESOLUTION ON AMERI.
CAN EXCHANGE RATE
(By Associated Press. J

| London Nov 5-The council OF
the Association of Chambers of Com
perce has passed thefollowing reso-
flution on the subject of the Ameri-
can rate of exchange, and submitted
it to the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer:
That in order to be prepared with
! remedy, should the American ex-
change revert to an unfavorably level
after the fiotation of the issue in the
United States of loan to Great
Britain, the council suggests that
the Lords Commissioners of the
Treasury should take steps well In
advance, and without delay, for con-
sidering means by which difficulty
may be met.
THE council are of opinion that
among the methods available for the
purpose of meeting the difficulty are /:
"ta) The reduction of the impor-
tatiOn of articles of luxury by means
Of import duties at least during the
period of the war.
"tb) The stimulation on the part
of the British government of the ex-
port goods produced within British
territory-such stimulation to take
the form of assisting commercial ef-
fort.
"tcD Inasmuch as debts due to
Great Britain abroad in the form of
American railroad bonds have been
purchased in this country for ex-
port and sale in America as means
of adjusting the trade balance
against Great Britain. steps should
be taken to supplement or substitute
the export of capital in the form of
securities by the export of merchant
disc.
This council. while recognizing
the enormous difficulties of the ex-
change situation, wish to place on
record their opinion that If the
American exchange falls below 4.70
at any time during the present war,
the government. in the interest Of
British trading community, ought
not to remain passive"
