.DGCKTOWE COPPER IS
STILL IN THE COURTS

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec 2.-Attorney
General Clifford Walker is now in con-
sultation with Attorneys J. A. Drake
and Lamar Hill, of Atlanta, and At
tcrney T. II. Crawford, of Blue
Ridge, who were appointed by Gov
ernor Harris as special assistants to
the attorney general in presenting the
states interests in the litigation with
tie Ducktown Sulphur, Copper & Iron
company of Ducktown, Tenn.
Attorney General Walker has made
an exhaustive study of the situation
and litigation and the interests of
Georgians will be presented with
greater strength than ever before in
this case, which has been unsettled for
several years.
The litigation grew out OF com
plants of Georgia farmers that fumes
from the copper eompany's plant drift
&c across the Tennessee line and did
terrible damage to the crops and to
the forests.
Last April the attorney general OBJ
tanned decree from the United States
supreme court enjoining the copper
company from discharging more than
stipulated amount Of its fumes
across into Georgia, but the farmers
say they have experienced no relief.

TEUTONs PLAN A

LONDON, Dec. Military events
III the Balkans are in transitory
stage which may preface another Ger
man offensive, but nothing has hap.
pened to indicate whether it will be
against the Franco British forces hold
ing what is left of Serbia, or against
the Russians, should they launch an
attack against the Bulgarians in the
east.
Some interpret the withdrawal of
German troops from the Serbian front
to Bulgaria as meaning the latter al
Tentative.
Austro-Germans and Bulgarians Off
cially announce the completion of the
Serbian campaign.
Vienna reports that $4,000 Serbians
were captured in November alone
Moreover, it is believed that the Serb
ians abandoned much equipment in
their retreat through the Albanian
passes, encountered by civilian ref
ugees, and hampered by winter.
The Germans are engaging the
Montenegrins on the Montenegrin
frontier, and at heavy losses have pen
etrated some distance from the border.
1t now seems clear that Greece
neither intends to demobilize or 70
withdraw troops from Saloniki.
No significant change has been re-
ported on either the eastern or west

SUMTER MAN IS
COUNTED ON FOR
SENATE'S PREXY

Sumter's time to elect the state SEN
ator from this district has given rise
TO many queries in political circles.
There have been no definite devel.
cpments in the district itself, SO far as
is known for publication, but rumbl-
ings from the outside are heard.
John w. Hammond, the astute cor
respondent of the Macon Telegraph
and Augusta Chronicle in Atlanta, had
the following to say in the Macon
Telegraph of Thursday, which refers
to Crawford Wheatley, one of Sum
ter's representatives in the lower
house of the general assembly
There is quite a little talk about
the presidency of the senate next time
Ten or twelve members of the house
maybe more think they are certainly
going to be state senators after the
next general election. Out of the LOT
there will be, unless something hap
rens along about election time to up
set plans, three candidates for sena-
torial leadership will come from the
&c Ds4I1
mond Crawford Wheatley, of Sumter,
and Judge Hopkins, of Thomas. Some
Of the house members have said they
think bill" Burwell ought to go to the
senate and offer for the presidency, as
serting the strong belief that he could
have it if he wants it. But Burwell
isn't going to do that unless he
changes his mind he has said this
term closes his legislative career-and
he is going to run for the
governorship, if Gov. Harris doesn't
run. Walter McElreath not now in
the legislature, is heard of, too as a
presidential candidate in the next SEN
ate. OF course, it is entirely too far
off now to even guess on the race, but
in the present stage the strong men
in the list are Hopkins and Olive, in
that order"

SHOPPERS CONE
WITH CHRISTMAS
MONTH, december
AMERICUS STORES ARE GETTING
BETTER BUSINESS.

With the coming of December, the
Christmas month" along with perfect
weather for Xmas shopping Americus
stores are more than ever centers Of
interest and attraction. This fact was
decidedly noticeable today in the
large number of shoppers-not o My
Americus people and those of the coun.-
try round about, but in the presence
of delegations from Smithville, AL
tany, Dawson, Montezuma, Cordele
ard other nearby towns, who come
here to make purchases.
The Times-Recorder has urged the
wisdom of early shopping, and there
is abundant evidence right here in
Americus this season that more gem
eral response is being made to the
appeal for early buying of the pur
chasable things that go to make
Christmas.
The Christmas shopping got under
way here some days ago, in fact, and
it is now proceeding after the fashion
known as full blast"
The practically unanimous public
decision to enforce the "shop early"
regulations laid down by all reasona-
hle people, found Americus merchants
i'll readiness. In fact, the all-around
drawing power of the yuletide dis
plays that have been set out has done
as much as anything else to quicken
the impulse to "do it now"
The Christmas atmosphere pervades
the shopping district, and this was
enhanced yesterday by the touch Of
winter in the air. To some it seems
nothing short of barbarism and treason
to go in search of Christmas things
without being duly adorned with over
coats, furs, mittens and other iceland1c
raraphernalia.
They had their chance yesterday and
turned out for the frolic, artistic tenn
permanent and all.
In addition to the trade in the arti-
cles that are essentially of and for
Christmas, local merchants are finding
a most satisfactory demand for the
more permanent things that winter
demands. Clothing merchants report
a continuation of the steady business
that took strong headway several
weeks ago.

i1gly responded

lily were taking dinner with Professor
ard Mrs. M. T. Peed, all the members
CT the faculty, with their wives, give

FIRE DESTROYS THE
ELLAv|LLE DEPOT
AND LOT OF COTTON

ELLAVILLE, Ca, Dec. 2.-The de-
pot of the Central of Georgia railway
here was totally destroyed by fire this
morning. The flames began eating
their way through the structure about
4 o'clock.
Between IS and 100 bales of cotton
were lost in the confiagrat:on and the
building, with all contents was a to-
tai loss.
II is thought by some that the build
ing ignited from the sparks of the
Seminole Limited, which passes
through Ellaville about O'Clock in
the morning.
