The federal reserve act, the Underwood act, the child la Dor act and a half dozen others of importance are a monument, and an imposing one, to MT Wilson's eff ciency in proposing, preparing and pushing legislation through congress. It is also an earnest of what we may further expect of him in carrying out his party pledges if reelected.
 (S) I also think that MT. Wilson has Withstood, with remarkable firm ness, the tremendous pressure of of

 The plank on woman suffrage is also more progressive than the repub- lican. MT. Wilson is more careful than MT. Hughes to avoid giving the impression of making promises be- yOnd his partys platform, promises which he cannot give any guarantees of keeping. But he is, I have reason to believe, at, heart moro of a Suf- fragist than MT. Hughes. MT.

The great boil weeyil meeting to be

is creating interest. 1t begins at 10
O'Clock, and will be followed by an
active organization of Americus and
Sumter county business men and
farmers to take charge of the fight in
a strong and virile way.
The boil weeyil party from the state
board of entomology is State Ento-
mologist E. Lee .Worsham; Prof. A. C.
Lewis, ]. c. Maness and W. B. Hunter,
president of the Georgia Fruit ex-

at Ellayille, schley county, Tuesday,
and on Wednesday, meeting will be
held in Americus. On Thursday, the
party will stage one of the twenty
four meetings they are holding in the
state, at Leesburg, Lee county.
During the excursions of the boil
weevil party in this section of the
state, they are making headquarters
at Americus.
State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham,

ports from g., the departments agents

Mr. Worsham said that the abnormal
pace of the menace was caused by the

be literally covered from mountain to

time.

HIGH SCHOOL HAS
LESSONS Of THE
AFETl PLAN NOW

The students of the Americas High
school observed Fire Prevention
Day" this morning with addresses by
prominent Americus officials and a
fire drill.
Mayor Pro TEN H. o. Jones, a mem
Der of the fire committee of the city
council, spoke on Fire Prevention. "
His address was helpful as an outline
of precautions for the students to take
IN the time of peace and safety, so as
to conduct themselves calmly under
the stress of danger from fire.
Recorder Thomas o. Marshall, di-
rectly in touch with the police depart
ment of the city, talked on Public
Safety" This had to do with traffic
and other features of school life where
the child is imperilled in many dan
gers.
The talk of DR.. Douglas B. Mayes,
the city physician, was interesting. He
told of the "frst-aid" remedies and the
different plans for use in case of fire,
accidents, drowning, etc.
Prof ]. E. Mathis, superintendent of
schools, arranged the program for the
of the day, following a line
of general suggestions sent out by
Superintendent P P. Claxton, of Wash
iDgton, in charge of the federal super
vision of education.
October 9th, the anniversary of the
great Chicago fire, was chosen as the
day to instruct the young folks as to
the dangers, and the exercises this
morning will doubtless be the means
of preserving the health and body of
some of the students.

U-53 VISITED j. S.
PORT ON SHORT TIME
All Passengers Are
Landed Safely
On Shores

BOSTON. Oct. 9.-What few addi-
tional reports were available at $3.50
O'clock this afternoon regarding the
submarine activity off Nantucket
Lightship yesterday changed only
slightly the first stories received.
If the Germans continued their work
along the Atlantic seaboard today
nothing has been heard of it, and it
seems extremely unlikely that any
more ships will be sunk.
Secretary Daniels informed the
president today that as far as he could
ascertain, all international laws had
been observed by the Germans. The
navy department, however prepared
to establish a patrol along the North
Atlantic seaboard to guarantee that
American neutrality is observed.
Know Six Went Down.
Six ships are all that are positively
known to have been sunk, although the
commander of the United States de-
stroyed Erricson reported he under
stood that nine had gone to the bot
tom. No names of the three additional
vessels were mentioned, and the re-
port that nine had been sunk came in
from no other source. Only survivors
from the six vessels known to habe
gene down are the crew of the King
ston, who took to the ships boats and
have not yet been rescued. Destroyers
continue to comb a calm sea. searching
for them.
Stories concerning the number Of
submarines engaged differ widely.
Many believe there are two of the un-
der-sea boats. while it is generally
thought the U-59, which called at New
rort Saturday was active in the COM
merce raiding. Survivors of one Of
the sunken vessels said they were cer-
tain they saw "U-61" on the submarine
attacking their vessel.
A circumstance indicated that only
ore submarine took part in the raids
is that as far as known, only six tor
pedoes were fired, whereas the U-53
carried eight when it left Newport.

Cotton Market Breaks.

The German submarine not only
gave the Allies merchant ships along
with few neutrals for good measure,
an everlasting Knockout blow-but
they landed solar -plexus to the cot
ton market today. The break of about
forty cents was expected by well
known local cotton men this morning
or the opening, when they were advis-
ed of the exploits Of the German
p-boat.
The market closed in this fashion
Saturday: January, 1922; March
17.4O; May, 1852; October. 1857; De-
cember, 1927. The Saturday market
closed before the news Of the arrival
Of the u-boat at Newport, R. l., be-
came known.

morning: January, 1890; March,

So, if the farmers have any more
cotton to sell-they can cuss the Ger
mans. The pointer is sent out that the
republicans may charge this latest epi-
sode to the Wilson administration,
since the sharks have apparently left
the coast of New Jersey.
It's bad business for the cotton mar
ket to suffer, but it has certainly been
severely hit by this new sensation of
the European war, brought to our
front door.

six vessels, as told in earlier dis

as yet no loss of life has been reported.
Every vessel, as far as could be learn
