Statistical Bureau of Georgia
onipperS' Association Gives

The bureau of statistics of the Geor-
gia Shippers association yesterday gave

posed by the railroads of Georgia on the
products of the cotton factories and the
knitting factories in this state:
Cotton factory products is a general term IN

rate on cotton factory products from TO -VO
miles inclusive is 1915 cents per 100 pounds
The railroads propose TO place cotton FACTORY

average rate from to 200 miles inclusive
of 26.5 cents per 100 pounds, or an average IN
crease of 60 per cent.
KNITTING MILL PRODUCTS.
knitting factory products is general term
including jumpers, pants oyerahs' unlaundereu
shirts, socks, underwear, etc. -.
Knitting factory products are now rated tlftn
class. The present average rate on knitting
factory products from TO 200 miles, inclusive
is 26.2 cents per 100 pounds.
The railroads propose TO place knitting rae
tory products in first class, and propose TO
charge an average rate from to 200 miles In
elusive, of 500 cents per 100 pounds, or an
average increase of "a a per cent.
The present average rate on knitting factory
products In the state of North Carolina from
) TO 200 miles, inclusive, is III cents per loO
pounds.
This makes the present Georgia rate As per
cent higher than the rate in North Carolina

TO 200 miles, inclusive, is %. cents per lOO
pounds.
This makes the present Georgia rate ia per
cent higher than the rate In South Carolina,
and makes the proposed Georgia rate ZIG pei
cent higher than the rate in South Carolina.
ARE DOUBLY AFFECTED.
The knitting factory that buys its yarn Will
be doubly affected by the proposed new rates,
for the reason that 1t will pay an average in
crease Of 60 per cent in the freight rate on yarn
coming in, and will pay an average increase of
94.4 per cent in the freight rate on knitting
factory products going out.
The increased freight rates proposed by the
railroads on cotton factory products and knitting
factory products if they are allowed by the
railroad commission, will have to be paid by
somebody.
Either the manufacturers of these products
will pay the increased freight rates or the job
bers and wholesalers will pay the increased
rates or the consumers who use the goods will
pay the increased rates in the form Of Increased
prices

tion and minimize the malady. 1t is
important that you should endeavor to
check the propagation of the germ by
the method suggested. One of the main
causes of persistency of sores of this
character is due to irritation caused by
milking. Therefore, very great care and
gentleness should be exercised in draw
ing the milk. 1t is very important that
the hands of the operator be thorough
ly cleansed and disinfected after the
milk has been drawn. Milk should not
be used during the continuance of the
disease. All utensils and stables should
be carefully disinfected

can not of course secure potash now on

you write will probably contain to 6
pounds of potash per 100 pounds of

serve the requirements of the sweet po-
tato crop and if you decide to burn the
trees and secure the ashes We suggest
that you use them at the rate of 200
pounds per acre. If applying ashes We
would prefer to broadcast them over the
land and harrow them in. Then lay the
land off, put in the fertilizer as suggest
ed, mixing it thoroughly with the sub
soil and bed by drawing the burrows to-
gether. Plant the seeds on a slight
ridge and give clean cultivation as long
as practicable.

Devil Too SLOW,
She Sets FIRE
To Bed Clothes

Marie Ridley. a colored prophecies of
South Atlanta, predicted that the devil
would cross the path of two of her
neighbors, and when the devil was slow
in carrying out her prophesies she set
fire to the bed clothes of one neighbor
and the clothes closet of the other, &C
cording to witnesses in police court Fri
day afternoon.
Marie was not seen at the house and
contended she was a the "santified
church" at the time, and, since it was
not proven whether Marie or the Devil
applied the fire, the case was dismissed
by the recorder.

This may seem a contradiction i'm terms

should ourselves expect to censor, in war time,
what we consider dangerous to the safety of the
United States.
But there is point beyond which the English
cannot go without challenge. We cannot accept
interference of our trade with the allies of
England or with neutral countries.
The international Manufacturers. Sales COM
pany has reported to the secretary of state that
cablegrams about business matters between the
United States and Russia have been interfered
with. It has sent as exhibits copies of several
cablegrams from New York to Russia and to
Norway, and from Russia to the United States,
which have never been delivered and concerning
which the English government has refused all
information. The only possible conclusion is
that England intends to check and prevent as far
as possible the growing trade between the United
States and Russia.
The English government should be made to
realize that her control of the cables and her con-
troll of the ocean depends chiefly on her careful
exercise of that control. If the United States
accepts such interruption within international
law as is damaging to the central powers it does
so because it recognizes that England has certain
duties to herself to perform. By no stretch of
the imagination can interruption of our trade
with Russia be classed as necessity of war. It
is simply tyranny more dangerous to England
than to the United States.

woman. She did not have your advan-
tage. Shes did not go TO college, she
went to work; at low wage; at a
hard task; at teaching, which Kipling
calls a belittling business because it
requires incessant strenuous concern
with little things and so breeds petty
habits which make life a narrowing
and darkening prison.
But this woman found as few of US
in any business do, the great ways of
escape.
Turns from Work.
For one thing, she learned to turn
at times wholly away from her daily
work She learned to leave the school
with its hurry burly OF methods and
policies and politics and go apart into
a mountain place alone; with the great
philosophers, the great literature, the
great words of the spirit. She was at
home there She found there, far
above the hurry burly, wisdom to
guide the children and those who
serve them, and courage to fight
those who prey upon them.
For a second and greater thing, she
saw that the actual commonplace life

A certain amount of interruption of Ameri-

herself and damaging her enemies. That is a
part of war. If we were at war and were power
