1t Is impossible to enumerate even by
title the enormous mass of publications
issued for 1914 by the Alabama experiment
station They include total of 81 pub
locations constituting total OF 274, 900
copies, and aggregate of 4,615,000 pages.
They are issued to a mailing list number
ing 24.000.
The experiment station has fully met
the demand of the great economic crisis
created by the European war and the mem
ace of the boil weeyil. We fully believe
that our state need not despair concern
ing the situation. We are not weaklings
to submit to the overwhelming power of
insect pests. or the economic disaster of
the one-crop system. We have the brains
and courage to meet the situation, and
in a few years we are confident that our
agricultural life will have settled into a
thoroughly normal and able condition.

LONDON, July 19.-All eyes are cen
tered on the far east today where the
Germans are pushing forward against
the Russians. 1t is believed all of
Poland is in danger and that the Rus
slams will abandon their defense OF
Warsaw and retire from this section.
In the meantime the Allies in the
west have an opportunity to strike a
telling blow against the Kaiser. The
German forces in Flanders have been
weakened by large number of troops
being withdrawn from that section and
sent to the east to fight the Cossacks.
Experts differ os to the best tactics to
be pursued by he Allies in the west.
Some favor an effort to recapture Lille
and still others advocate concentration
against the Dardanelles in the south.
Along the Dneister river General
Won Buelow is pushing his force for
ward at rapid gait. The cavalry is
bearing the brunt of the fighting here
and is meeting with success. Bloody
encounters between the Cossacks and
the Uhlans are reported in dispatches
of the day.
The right wing of the German army
has advanced as far as Ossowetz.
where the fortress there has stopped
further advances. The Russians are
strongly entrenched there and it will
be a difficult matter to take this
stronghold
To the right of this fortress General
Won Gallewitz is pressing the advance
on Nareau and the Russians ARE re-
II eating before his advancing army.
Comparative quiet prevails to the
southwest of Warsaw but movement
against Lublin is in full swing. The
Russians must fight defensive fight
for Warsaw or surrender all of Pol
and.
Italy reports minor gains against
the Austrians to the east of Trent.
There is little activity in the west IS
reported today.

for some odd reason. He rose and ad-

"Mr. Speaker, if the clerk will read

it repeals every law in Georgia" he
said. The clerk read the repeating

this act be hereby repealed"
The mot" was quickly extracted and

gin of Norwegian Dialect"
by Associated Press.)

CHRISTIANIA, July 19.-Although
the German government officially has
declared its willingness to pay full
damage when Norwegian boats have
been accidentally" torpedoed by Ger
man submarines, reports of the sink
ing of Norwegian steamers are becom-
ing so numerous as to offer serious
complications.
Many of the leading papers de-
nounce the government for so doing
what it ought to in order to protect
Norwegian sailors and citizens. No
word has been published from the gov
ernment regarding what steps it has
taken or how it has protested
The Tidens Tegn says that it now is
necessary that the government break
it's silence and let the people know
what it has done and is going to do
in order to stop these continued en-
croachments, and protect our flag, our
sailors and peaceful Travellers"
The Morgenbladet says: while our
sailors are met by insidious death,
while our flag is offended and Norweg-
ian ships are torpedoed without warn
ing, the government and parliament
are busy discussing whether the Ian
guage we are talking is real Norwegia':
or whether the hymns and prayers are
to be discontinued in public schools
About these events that fill everybody
with uneasiness and wrath they say
nothing
The Aftenposten says: Everything
is all right in Norway! Germany
however, by reasons we do not under
stand, is torpedoing our merchant
ships, but what does it matter? Ii
the parliament the meetings are more
quiet and undisturbed than ever; no.
body seems to be affected or anxiocs
At the same time our farmers are up
against crop failure; the daily bread
is dear for the common laborer AMI
everything seems to be uncertain-but

rosy hue"
The Shipping Gazette points to the
American note to Germany, (which
contains the same questions and re-
quests which Norway, as a neutral
country, must demand from the Ger
man government"

COUNTIES WILL
ABOLISH OFFICE
Of TREASURER
MANY SUCH BILLS BEFORE THE
ASSEMBLY.

Like Sumter, a score of other Geor-
gia counties are anxious to have their
Office of county treasurer abolished,
and bills to that effect are now pend
ing in the legislature. The bill affect
ing Sumter county has already passed
the house, and will go through the SEN
ate as well. 1t seems that the counties
of the state generally, and more par
ticularly the smaller ones, are finding
the Office of county treasurer a useless
and expensive incumbrance. 1t was
all very we'll in the days before bank
ing had reached its present state of
development. There is now an aver
age of more than five banks to every
county in Georgia, and under the di-
rection of the county commissioners or
ordinary as the case may be, these in
stitutions can not only handle the
county funds satisfactorily but pay
interest on the balance kept with them.
In this way the counties which are
&bolishing the Office of treasurer are
not only saving the salary which has
been heretofore paid that official, but
are securing an added income in the
shape of interest on their deposits.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga, July 19.--
Physicians attending Leo Frank re-
ported at p. m. today that Frank was
still alive, but his condition was Sc
rious.
The flow of blood from his wound
has been stopped, but his throat is
swollen asd attending physicians fear
blood poison. Unless complications
set in though, they hope for his re-
covery.
Since eight o'clock this morning,
Frank has slowly improved. This
morning his temperature registered
102 2-5 degrees. At noon it had gone
down to 101 degrees.
Franks family physician who re-
turned to Atlanta Sunday night after
performing an operation on the man,
will return today with another physi-
clan, if conditions warrant it.
Frank lies is his bed in the hospital
ward, fighting for his life. Most Of
the time since the operation on Sun
day he has been delirious. Physicians
attending are optimistic, despite the
critical condition of their patient.
Dr. Compton, prison physician, is
not so alarmed as the other attend
ants. He states that fever and swol-
len neck may be expected as result
of the wound and unless blood poison
sets in Frank will recover.

He stole the butcher knife, hid it in

after Frank and most of the Other

TRADES BODIES OF THE STATE
WANT GEORGIA OWNED VESSELS
ENGAGED IN FOREIGN COM
MERGE EXCLUSIVELY EXEMPT
FROM TAXATION
Americas Chamber of Commerce
Adopts Resolutions to Encourage II
Merchant Marine for the Empire
State.

The Americus Chamber of Commerce
today adopted set of resolutions urg-
ing the amendment of the constitution
of the state exempting vessels owned
by Georgia firms, engaged exclusively
in foreign commerce, from axation
Today similar resolutions are being
adopted by every trade body in the
state.
To establish merchant marine for
the state of Georgia will necessarily
result in much good not only to the
seaport cities of the state but also to
the shippers and farmers of Georgia.
With merchant marine owned and op-
Grated by Georgia firms, freed from
taxation 1T will be an easy matter to
secure enough shipping facilities to
care for the cotton crop of the state
and remove the Scent bugaboo that is
now worrying Georgia farmers.
Here is a copy of the resolutions as
adopted by the chamber of commerce:
Americus, Ca, July IS. 1915.
Resolved, By the Commissioners of
the Chamber of Commerce of Ameri-
Gus and Sumter county, in special
meeting assembled:
THAT this Board of Commissioners
do heartily endorse proposed amend
ment to the constitution of the state
of Georgia, which will exempt from
taxation ships and vessels engaged ex-
clusively in foreign commerce, so
long as they are owned and operated
by Georgia citizens or Georgia corpor
ations, believing that if Georgia is to
have a merchant marine it is neces-
sary for this change to be made in the
constitution, that the citizens of Geor-
gia may have the advantage of import
ing and exporting their wares ani
products out of Georgia ports, on
steamers owned and operated by Geor
gia firms, believing that this will give
Georgia shippers relief in lifting the
incoming crop, and in this recommen-
dation the Board of Commissioners of
this Chamber of Commerce is satisfied
that it is expressing the views of the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce, and of the business community
of Americus generally"
Such an amendment will, we believe,
cause the operation of such ships by
Georgians to the great advantage of
not only the ports, but the entire state,
and without it the enterprise will not
be inaugurated.
We respectfully urge the passage of
this amendment.

Green told prison authorities that he

In connection with the report that

year against Mr.. Wilson somebody
recalls the democratic division in
1860, which brought in the republic
cans, and the republican division in
1912, which brought in the demo-
Gratis. Those were notable perform
ances.
If the democrats in the first named
year had not been blinded by an an
CRY factional row they might have
foreseen what division would cost
them, and been moved to stronger
effort to hold together. Mr.. Lin
coin was an untfied but not un-

we'll advised from his experience in
the famous debate Of what might be
expected OF him in the White House.
BY their folly the democrats defeated
themselves, and were kept out of
power for quarter Of a century.
In 1919 the republicans were blind
ed by a factionai row which had its
root in the personal ambition of Mr..
