Georgia Mule
Is a Hero

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 31-Friend
Georgia mule is becoming one of the
unsung heroes of the great Europea1
war. No one knows where the gentle,
dreamy-eyed mule first broke into his
tory, but he is making a record on the
French and German battlefelds for
steadiness under fire and ability to
endure greater fatigue than horses.
And the mules that are doing the
real work are American mules, South
ern mules, educated by the compan-
ionship of the Southern negro, who
knows more about mule psychology
than any white man.
In the Boer war thousands of mules
were purchased from the South, but
were not used to great advantage be.
cause the English did not know how
to handle them.
In the present war, it is stated, the
fighting nations have had the good
judgement to import along with the
mules, a sufficient number of drivers
and trainers to teach the European
transfers and soldiers the peculiari-
ties of the mules mind, which is as
tenebrous as that of the proverbial
heather Chinee.
The one great difference between a
mule and a morse is temperament, and
this the Europeans are beginning to
learn for the first time.

receipt of this order letters were sent
out from the Office to several ap-
plicants for enlistment in the cavalry

PRICE Of YELLOW PINE
ON AN UPWARD GRADE

The Southern Lumberman, Nash
vile, Tenn, this week says regarding
yellow pine lumber market conditions.
Yellow pine is steadily increasing in
price strength, and though orders &C
tually booked this week are scarcely
in excess of the volume recorded last
week, inquiries are more numerous
and the business placed has been al
better figures. Nearly all the large
manufacturers have issued new price
lists since August 1, and some have
instructed statesmen to quote advances
on lists issued during the past ten
days. These advances, especially in
items on which the stock of the parti-
cular mill is getting low, are being
firmly maintained. Reports received
this week show advances on No. 3
common flooring, on finish and ON Xxi
No. common fencing. Advances on
finish varies according to grade and
sizes, though all grades above G. have
shown some increases in value. This
strengthening in prices, and in con-
fidannn IF hn 20 o+v IN, bo1
ing out for them, is not confined, how
ever, to any special items on the list
Though advances over quotations made
last week are not warranted on other
items as yet, reports from a large
number of mills shown items here and
there for which prices are being OBJ
tanned by that individual mill, due to
scarcity of stock or particular demand
for that item in that locality.
Stimulated Buying.
While this bullish tone to the mar
ket has stimulated buying by middle
western retail yards, it seems to have
retarded purchasing in the East to
some extent. While no decrease in de-
mana is reported from the Eastern
markets, and prices are also reported
stronger there the volume of move
ment seems to have been somewhat
less in that section than during the
previous week.

FARMERS ARE NOT
HOLDING COTTON
Especial to Timcs-Recorder.l

LEESBURG, Ca, Aug. 31.-That the
fall season of 1915 promises to be
much better in a business way than
that of last year is the general opin-
ion of the merchants and business mer
of Leesburg. This is due to a grea.
extent to the fact that the farmers are
selling their cotton as fast as possible
and getting cash from it with which to
settle up their accounts.
After the experience last year no.
body seems inclined to hold cotton for
an advance in prices. The whole cror
seems to be opening at once and there
will be practically no top crop, the
little fertilizer used being considered
responsible for this condition. The
crop in this county will be from 80
to 40 per cent. less than that of last
year, but as that was an unusually
large one it will not be such a very
small crop after all.
While the growers are disposing OF
their cotton very rapidly the buyers
do not find the demand in their line
very strong just now.
Business men estimate that this
crop when sold at cents per pound
will mean more to the farmers than
their crop last year at same selling
price on account of the greatly re-
duced cost of production No crop
has ever been made in Lee county a.
as little cost as the crop of 1915. One
striking evidence of this is the fact
that fertilizer bills alone have been
cut in half All farmers have made
their crop ON lass hired labor, with
less hired labor, with less advances,
less commercial fertilizers and have
lived at home and off their farms very
largely this year.

TAX RATE FOR MUSCOGEE
WILL NOT Be CHANGED

COLUMBUS, Ca, Aug. 81 There
is no probability that the county tax
rate will be raised at the session of
the county commissioners, when the
budget and rate will be arranged, -
stated Mr.. L. A. Scarborough, county
commissioner, this morning.
''The present rate of the county is
five mills, while the present rate is
four and half mills. 1t is very prob,
able, however, that the state rate will
be raised from $50 to 40 mills on
the dollar. In this event, the taxes
will only be 20-1OO of mill on the dol
lar higher than they were last year.
