AUTO AND WAGON COLLIDE.

A. G. Mansur of Burlington had
narrow escape late Sunday afternoon
while driving his automobile east on
College street. When opposite the
Fletcher library his car ran into a double
team loaded with Christmas trees which
had been left in the street by the driver
for short time. The wagon pole came
forcibly against the front of the car and
glanced upward, breaking the wind
shield, parts of which penetrated the
shoulder of one of the horses.

REMARKABLE INDUSTRIAL
ACTIVITY AFTER WAR
CBy Associated Press


Paris Dec. 9.-The answer OF
Paul Leroy Beaulicu, the french
economist, to the question "Will Eu-
rope be plunged into bankruptcy pc

Concerning the result of the pres
ent enormous spending of money by
all the nations an the conditions
following the war, he forecasts the

after it, end remarkable Industrial
activity with an International COM
mercial rivalry leading to high tar
ifs n all the nations now at war,
including free-trada England, and
vet higher tariffs in the United
States.
He said while such situation
has never before presented itself in
history and while therefore all opin-
ions must be given with some re-
serve, am confident that no fear
need be felt for a universal collapse
of world finances. The destruction
in tins war, save possibly in the lives
lost, has been exag gerated in the
public mind. Not single nation in
volved will he irre'rierably ruined.
The ndurinc power of accumulated
wealth has been underestimate II
will take not more than ten or
twelve years for the world to recov
er from it's losses.

Then there will SGT in period of

which we have nev"r known This
period has been made necessary by

version to war supplies of factories
once engaged in making cloth, and
what not During this reconstruc-
ticn period we will work harder
thar formerly, There will not be
the staenation which paralyzed the
Southern States after the Civil war
Another result Of the war will
be the increasing o. taxes by each
nation involved and the raising OF
tariffs to collect revenues England
will do like the rest, free-trade coun-

SOUTHERN ISLAND
SECURED AS HAVEN FOR
MIGRATORY BIRDS

Savannah, Ca, Dec. l0-Black-
beard s Island, between Savannah
and Brunswick, that legendary land
of piratical operations in the early
history of the State. is to be con-
vertea by the government into ref
uge for feathered creatures, haven
for the migratory birds hurrying
South at the approach of winter and
turning North again with the com
ing CT spring.
Or summer moonli hit nights
huge sea turtles crawl out on the
beach on Blackbeard's Island to lay
their eggs in deep holes in the sand.
On darker nights shadowy figures
land from boats aud, lantern in
hanG, search through the tangled
underground for a si?n of pirate
treasure that is never found. On
stormy nights, it IS said, the ghost
of Blackboard walks the sand at the
edge of the sea Should it continue
the custom in the years to come it
will he greeted with the innocent
songs of birds.
Tc government now owns the is
land and has already begun the pre-
servation of the wild life. But the
department upon which this work
falls il. not provided with enough
money to establish the preserve that
it wanted, and so the State of Geor-
gia is negotiating for the control of
the island, and Is planning to do
the work in cooperation with the
government. Charles S. Arrow.
State game and fish warden, has
written to Washin ton upon the
subject.
Already there are many varieties
of native land and water birds on
BLACK boards, besides several thous-
and deer Fish of many varieties
abound in the surrounding waters
and great sea turtles are numerous.
FIR many years the government
maintained a quarantine station on
Backwards to guard the port of
Sapelo. But so few foreign vessels
now enter the port that the quar-
antire has been abandoned.
