DIXIE GETTING
MUN|T|ON ORDERS

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 12. Inquiries
among Southern factories which have
rather suddenly resumed operations af-
ter dull seasons have revealed the fact
that Atlanta, Georgia and the South
generally, are beginning to get their
share of war supply orders. 1t ap-
pears that millions of dollars will pour
into this section, and that the business
will last while is indicated in the
fact that several contracts extend far
into 1917
The Atlanta Steel company has con.
tracted for supplying barbed wire to
the Allies in quantity that will work
night and day shifts for many months
and contracts are pending with sew
eral other concerns. One big Atlanta
iron works is considering a proposal
to turn out enormous quantities Of
shells las soon as the necessary ma
chinery can be built.

RAIN BROUGHT
LITTLE RELIEF
BURNED CROPS
COTTON CROP WILL BE BENEFIT.
TED BUT LITTLE.

Now that the cotton crop has been
damaged beyond recovery, or the
greater portion of it, the rains for two
months delayed, are at hand and will
only serve to injure the cotton pre-
maturely opened in the field Crops
of late corn and cotton, cane and po-
tatoes will be given an impetus, but
the greater part of the cotton crop is
too far gone for recovery now. Local
gardens will be helped materially AMI
fall gardens can be planted, a condi-
ton very much desired. The intense
heat of the past month has vanished
and life for the "stay-at- homes" is
rendered at least endurable.

GREAT SUCCESS
SHOP is GUTTED OF CLOTHING
LAST NIGHT

Thieves last night made successful
raid upon the tailoring establishment
of James Williams, very worthy col
ored tailor on Cotton avenue and made
a complete haud of wellnigh everything
in the shop. Many fine suits of
clothes and odd trousers were carried
away, together with other articles OF
value in the place, the thieves leaving
only an overcoat, which they did not
need with the temperature at 80 de-
grees in the ice house. The loss fallc
heavily upon the proprietor who is a
very worthy and respected colore1

The Russian second line of defense

back after abandoning Warsaw, has
the appearance of being rendered un-
tenable by the continued Teutonic ad-

grad as a goal.
Meantime the Russian rear guards
are fighting desperately, especially in
the Dvina region and at Kovno, to
capture which the Germans are MAX

the Germans intend to make no grea.
demonstration in the west, but intend
to press to the utmost the Russian
campaign on the theory that conditions
in the west are such that neither he
French nor British will Immediately
attempt general offensive.
During the lull along the western
front the British public looks anxious
ly for the fall of the forts olong the

OXFORD, Eng, Aug. 12.-"There

this war the world is in for a period

principal of Ruskin college, Oxford,
In the first of a series of lectures on
Economic Phases of the World War.
Il do not believe" he said, "that
there will be a period, of poverty after
the war. There will be no necessity

is will be due to misapplication of the
productive powers which will he
available, 1t will be the poverty which
comes from wasted resources, and not
from inadequate resources.
There will be no return to pre-war
prices. That means that there will be
permanent re-adjustment of our
methods. There will have to be a per-
manent rise of wages and other per-
readjustments to meet the
higher prices. The proper policy for
the trade unions is to accept the war
bonuses, not for the duration of the
war, but for the duration of the higher
prices.

CALLED SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE.
F0R CHRISTMAS.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

| ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 12.-The legis-
lature will be called into an extra
session on December l, but whether
Or not Governor Harris will include in
| the call provision. for considering
the prohibition bills is not yet GER
tain. Leaders of both sides, however,
| say that he has promised one side that
| he will and the other that he won't
though there was evidently some mis-
understanding by somebody.
The extra session was forced by
the action of the house yesterday in
| adjourning for the session without
waiting for the senate to act on the
appropriation bill President Persons
of the senate, in speech in the after
noon, declared this to be an "illegal
act" in contravention of the constitu-
ton.
Responsibility for the extra session
is placed upon the dry forces in the
assembly. The prohibition bills had a
majority in the two houses, but all
their influence could not get a repo1 t
from the rules committees and bring
the question to a vote. Their only
chance was to force an extra session
in the hope that the prohibition meas
ures would come up squarely on their
merits at that time, and to this end
they forced sine die adjournment at
L o'clock Wednesday afternoon. -Four
times the house voted on whether It
would adjourn sine die or hold an af-
ternoon session for the purpose of re j..
ceiving the appropriation bill back
from the senate, and four times the
pAohhoatAoh AioJoA1Iy Votcu against lIS
afternoon session. Without the pas
sage of the appropriation bill the
state will be without funds for it's in
stitutions, and the extra session IS,
therefore, imperative.
Hardly bill of general Importance
has been passed by the two branches
of the assembly at the fifty-day session
just closed. Only one of large import
was passed by both houses, the bill to
protect the state railroad from the
Louisville and Nashyille's plan to par
allel the tracks. To Colonel Waltet'
P. Andrews, of Fulton county, chair
man of the Western and Atlantic COM
mittee of the house. goes the credit
of pushing this bill through, despite
the efforts of not only its enemies but
the faction which tried to make it's de-
lay tool to force action on other
bills. 1t was not until the day before
the close of the session that Colonel
Andrews succeeded in finally passing
the measure and securing it's sigma

MOSCOW ! THRIVING
DESPITE THE WAR
(By Associated Press.)

MOSCOW, August 12.-Life proceeds
much as usual in Moscow, the CONNER
cial capital of Russia, and despite the
rise in prices, trade in general is good
and the buying power of the people
was never so great-this latter fact
being accounted for generally by the
prohibition of vodka.
At the customary seasons, buyers
come crowding into Moscow exactly as
in previous years, and the big summer
market of Nishni Novgorod has been
doing WELL The one difficulty in most
lines of trade is to find goods enough
to meet the demand. The war has led
to a shortage of many things for
which Russia was formerly dependent
on Germany. Many of these things are
are being brought from England or
America. Here the, difficulty of trans
portation figures frequently, but many
small wares are being brought through
by parcel post. One of the largest de-
partment stores here has brought
in several million parcels by this
route during the past season, all the
packages being reduced to the size
and weight of the parcel post regula-
tions.
Some things sold in Moscow have
doubled in price, but many others have
scarcely advanced at all. The cost of
living, according to business and COM
mercial men, averages about fifteen to
twenty per cent. above last year.
The harvest is expected to surpaass
even the record harvest of 1918, and
the only question is how best to gather
it and dispose of it.
There are more people in Moscow
than in ordinary peace times, because
of the influx of refugee families from
southwest Russia and Poland All
though railway fares have gone up
one-fourth, owing to the imposition Of
a war tax of twenty-five per cent. OH
each ticket, the weekend trains out os
Moscow are crowded with merry-mak-
ers, and there is standing room only
on outgoing trains Saturday and in
coming trains Sunday nights.
The population, which for time, re-
garded the war almost as sort of
lark or holiday, has now come to look
upon it with almost exaggerated Sc
riousness. People generally are pre-
pairing for a war of long duration.
Feeling towards the Germans is more
bitter in Moscow than in any other
Russian city. This was shown by the
roiting few weeks ago, when mil
lions of dollars worth of German
property was destroyed in the shopping
and commercial districts. Feeling
against the Germans was accentuated
about that time by the first reports of
the Germans use of poison gases.
Within the walls of the Kremlin,
troops are being rushed through the
preliminary drilling, preparatory to-
being taken to the advanced camps
close behind the front. They leave by
companies almost daily, moving away
with sprightly step, singing hymns as
they 60 En- route, their trains pass
the long ambulance trains returning
from the front, laden with wounded
and prisoners. So crowded is traffic
on the main line railroads that many
of the troop and ambulance trains
carry fifty to sixty coaches.
