THOUSANDS HAD
BIC TIME IN
MACON

All OF South Georgia seemed to
move to Macon on the 18th and
long before the celebration was
scheduled to start tens of thous-
ands of people had gathered in
the ambitious city to take in the
sights. The military camp, of
course, was the largest attraction,
and all day thousands of visitors
made themselves at home with
the boys from the various towns

A hundred or more of Fitzger-

such as lunches prepared by mo-
Their, peaches, cigarettes, etc. The

HIGHWAY BILL IS
REVISED To
SUIT j. 8.

Following a conference between
E. Pennybacker, of Washington,
high official in the United States
Government Office of Good
Roads, and Representative Nor
ton, chairman OF the House Com
mittee on Good Roads, plans were
under way Saturday for a revis-
ion of the bill for the proposed
highway commission of Georgia,
so as to make it conform in detail
to the requirements OF the confer
ence committee bill passed this
week by Congress, appropriating
S85,O00,000 for good roads build
ing in the various States.
Mr.. Pennybacker has received
a copy OF the new bill, and he and
Chairman Turner read and dis
cussed all of its provisions thoro-
ughly. A new bill already had
been drawn and was ready for in
PRODUCTION in the Legislature, but
the requirements, as set forth by
the Federal Government will ne
cessitate some changes so there
will be no possibility Of hitch
when Georgia seeks to obtain its
share of the immense good roads
fund.
Georgia's share is estimated at
100000.
1t was expected Saturday that
the highway commission bill
would go before the House July
II.
Under the terms of the good
roads bill, only those states with
highway commissions will be per-
mitted to participate in the $685.
000,000 fund. Only four states
in the Union, one of which is
Georgia, now are without such
commissions.
The plan as outlined in this bill,
is Tor the Government to put up
one dollar for every dollar contri-
buted by particular state for
good roads work, The states
contribution, however, doesn't
necessarily have to be in cash, the
Government basing its donation
on cash, or the value of convict
labor or material furnished, such
as stone and top-soiling and other
road necessities.
The Congress bill was reported
by a conference committee to
which similar bills from the
House and Senate were referred.
The conference bill was said to
have incorporated practically the
whole of the Bankhead bill in the
Senate.

City Auditor o. NJ. Lane asked for d

appeal. The bond was fixed at Sc, 900,

the contention that the Waterfowl

ENLIGHTENMENT. A guilty plea was en-
tered to the specific charge Of appro-
priating $1,337.35 in warrants paid to
the city by the county from March l to
March Is, 1916. Examination Of Wa
tertown's records by the state public
accountant disclosed that Lane had
submitted to the city commissioners
bills for supplies which had never
been ordered or received or that when
payment was authorized he drew war
rants and had them cashed. Lane was
automatically removed from office last
spring when Watertown changed from
the city commission to the aldermanic
plan of government. He was immedi-
ately appointed by the federal govern
ment to his post at Rapid City.

Returns in Yankton county are for
the most part highly satisfactory. Dat
yields are reported from forty to sixty
bushels per acre, and while the wheat
acreage is small, returns from this
crop have been large. Corn, which is
the main crop in this section, is look
ing exceptionally fine. There has been
plenty of moisture to fully develop the
ears and many of the fields have be-

the excessively hot and dry weather

July. In many instances the thrash

much better than expected, while in
other cases the yield is shown below

The corn crop of South Dakota has
been saved by recent rains and now
is in good condition, especially in the
eastern and southern sections of the
state, which are the chief corn grow
ing districts. Corn has attained a
great growth and fields for the most
part show immense ears, which will
make the yield per acre unusually
heavy. AS the corn acreage of South
Dakota was very materially increased
this season the crop promises to be
one of the largest of the kind ever
produced in the state.
