RULING ON LOTS FORFEITED AT
 ANCHORAGE

A considerable controversy has arisen over the question as to whether or not the government may enforce | the penalty of forfeiture which the provisions of the sale of town lots in Anchorage provide in the event of the violation of the conditions of sale by the purchaser. The government has announced that the lands in the new railroad town purchased by parties who have since been convicted of selling liquor, contrary to the terms and conditions of the sale, would be compelled to forfeit the property. Well known lawyers have maintained that the restrictions imposed are void and the lots may not be forfeited under them. The land office at Ju- neau maintains to the contrary, and that the government will enforce the penalty is evident from the following letter from A. Christensen, chief of the field division of the land office.
 "I enclose herewith a copy of the Alaskan Railroad Townsite regula- tions, approved by the president on June 19, 1915. governing the disposal of townsites along the government railroad in Alaska and under which the lots at Anchorage were sold dur ing the past summer. You will note that under the heading Conditions and FOrfeitures, the lots sold under these regulations must not be used for the purpose of manufacturing. selling or otherwise dispOsing of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, or for gambling prostitution or any unlawful prpose before final payment on the lots is made. and during a period of five years from the date of the certificate of sale under penalty of forfeiture of the lot and money paid in to the time of forfeiture
 Under these regulations. on Janu- ary 29, 1916, the secretary of the in terior forfeited six Anchorage town site lots because the purchasers had been duly convicted or entered a plea of guilty to the charge of violation of Section 25S1, Compiled Laws of Alas ka, which prohibits the sale of intoxi- eating liquors without license.
 Ten other cases are under consider ation wherein the lessee was con victed of the same offense. Under the regulations. ignorance by the pur- chaser, or the acts of his lessee or others on lots purchased by him is no defence. However, an opportunity will be given the purchaser in these cases only to show that he had no knowledge of the violations.
 On February Is, 1916. regulations were promulgated by the department of the interior. governing the proce- dure for the forfeiture of lots under the Alaskan Railroad TOwnsite regu- lations. Circular No. 45s, and I beg that you will publish them, or ex- | tracts therefrom. as the commissioner

secretary of state, and was strong
enough to refuse the demand made up
on him under the law, and the fact
that the then governor took firm po-
sition on it and directed a special mes
sage to the legislature, was the road
saved. He said this bill seeks to apply
exactly the same situation to the cleo
trio roads and to leave the secretary
Of state, an administrative officer, with
re power to do other than grant the
charter to be demanded. He referred
to the incident when foreign cor
poration came to the legislature and
got permission to run from another
state over into Augusta, then got per-
mission to have that foreign corpora
ton absorb a Georgia corporation and
that soon thereafter the same kind of
a request came from Bib county. This
means, said Mr.. Sheppard, that Geor-
gia is getting in danger of having To-
cal corporations generally absorbed by
foreign concerns, which," he declared
truly will be a most depIorable state
of affairs for this state, as may be
judged by the experience of other
states"

For Legislature.

To The People of Sumter County:
Having the ambition to serve as your
representative in the lower house OF
the General Assembly, l hereby an
nounce myself as a candidate for the
Office, subject to the laws governing
the Democratic primary of September
18th, 1916.
The cotton season having opened,

those whom cannot see, wish to say
that will greatly appreciate your
support in this race, as / am running
on the idea that can be of some SER
vice to the taxpayers of the state.
While not condemning any individual,
it looks to me like our government is
run too extravagantly, and it will be
my purpose to see if the funds are
srent more judiciously.
Thanking you for your support, am
Respectfully,

COVE RNOR HARRIS
At GRIFFIN TODAY

GRIFFIN, Ca, Aug. 15.-Governor
Nat E. Harris today delivered an ad-
dress to Spalding county voters which
made strong impression. He spoke
i'll dignified manner and was entirely
courteous in dealing with this oppon-
cuts, though he criticized their attitude
upon several matters.
They have been unable to find
anything in my administration to at
tack and have therefore fallen back
upon the statement that I am too old, y
he said. But do not believe the peo-
pie of Georgia will GUST me from Office
merely because younger men desire to
hold that high place. / do not believe
they will send me away with the Con.
federate cross Of honor upon my breast
and a stain of dishonor on my brow.
Every governor since the war has been
hcnored with second term, and / be-
lieve this rule of years will not be
broken now"
Governor Harris was outspoken in
his prohibition views. He declared the
former law was not effective and the
new law was stronger and more salts
factory to the people.
81 was told that if I would only omit
prohibition from my call for the extra
session I should have no opposition
for reelection" he said, "but 1 did my
duty, and am proud of it."
Governor Harris most effective re-
marks were in reply to Mr. Dorsey's
attitude on executive clemency
Governor Harris said he felt more
confident every day as he heard from
all over the state, that he would be
given a second term by majority even
larger than that given him two years
ago.

7 HAT DORSEY FIRM
IS UP AND OUT NOW

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 15.-Did an
Atlanta law firm recently employed by
the Louisville railroad-to wit, the
firm of Dorsey, Brewster, Howell &.
Heyman-write the interurban railway
bill which came to the house from the
senate and was passed by the house
yesterday?
Representative Brown, of Emanuel,
an opponent of the bill, made the
charge on the floor Of the house that
the bill was drawn in the Office of
the Atlanta law firm recently employ
ed by the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road" and it was generally understood
that he was referring to the firm
above-named, of which Hugh M. Dor
sey, candidate for governor, is the
ranking member.
Believing that the bill was an at
tempt to permit the Louisville &
Nashville railroad to parallel the
Western & Atlantic railroad, the house
amended the bill by adding a provision
that no interurban charter issued
hereunder, and no charter acquired or
leased hereunder, and no railroad OPP
Grated Hereunder, shall ever be used
to parallel the Western & Atlantic.
The ostensible purpose of The bill was
to authorize and direct the secretary of
state to issue charters to interurban
railways, in the same manner that he
is now authorized and directed to
issue charters to steam railways. But
the bill, as it came from the senate,
provided for all sorts of interurban
railways, and the house put in fud
ther? aemndment which defines inter-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-08-15

urban railways as lines which are OPP
Grated by gas or electric power. This
aendment, together with the amend
ment preventing the use of such a
charter, to parallel the Western & At
lantic, may protect the tsate's road,
ard then again it may not.
A great many members OF the house
were so uneasy of the danger which
they saw contained in the bill that
they voted against it even after the
amendment was adopted. In fact,
Representative Yeomans, of Terrell
one of the authors of the amendment,
declared he was afraid of the bill even
with his amendment.

STANISLAU IS ONE
Of GATEWAYS INTO
GALICIAN COUNTRY.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Is
stanislau, like Brody, is one of the
gateways through which the Russian
armies in Galicia expect to march
rapidly toward Lesmberg. This rail-
read center is described in the Ma
tional Geographic society's war geog-
rophy bulletin today as follows:
Railways radiate from stanislau in
five directions, making it one of the
most important strategic cities of
southeastern Galicia This fact has
made it an important trading center
and manufacturing town, one of the
most important industries before the
war being the construction of rolling
stock for railroads.
THE great trunk line passing
through Stanislau is that which runs
from Berlin to Bucharest. Before the
war it was possible to leave Berlin at
z 80 one evening and passing through
Breslau, Cracow, Przemysl, Lemberg
Stanislau and Czernowitz, reach the
Roumanian capital the following even
ing at 10:45. On this line Stanislau is
81 miles southeast of Lemberg and
7S miles northeast Of Czernowitz. Kol-
omea lies between Sanislau and Czerno-
witz, S5 miles from the former.

BARRETT CALLS FOR
UNITY IN FIGHT To.
GET NITRATE PLANT.

WASHINGTON Aug. 15.--Coopera-
ton between all parties interested in
agricultural development and the pro-
gress of the South, to secure the loca-
ton of the proposed $2O,OOO,OOO gov
eminent air nitrate plant in the South,
is urged in statement issued today
by Charles S. Barrett, president of the
Farmers Union.
Mr.. Barrett cautions that the we'll
mean but unfortunate competition
over the location of the nitrate plant,
threatens the chance of any southern
water power being selected Off devel-
opment. He believes it is important for
all parties interested to work to-
or for some one location in the central
South where ample military security
in time of war will be provided and
the largest agricultural need will be
served, at the lowest cost for transpor-
tatiion and for raw material.
"At meeting of the officials of the
Farmers Union, the Grange, and the
Society of Equity held in Washington
last February" said Mr. Barrett, eve
passed resolutions endorsing the pro-
posed to establish in this country a
plant for the taking of nitrogen from
the air, which would be adequate to
supply the governments munition
needs and also provide surplus for
use in peace times in making the
cheapest nitrogen fertilizer that can
be had.
MY personal opinion is this plant
should be located in the central South
where rs percent of our annual pro-
duction of commercial fertilizers is
used. If be found that Muscle
Shoals in the Tennessee River in Ala
bama, or any other locations in or
near the centre of the South or south
east, fulflls these conditions, furnish
ing adequate power and access to raw
material and to consuming markets
that place should certainly be chosen
Thise is a problem for the government
engineers to determine after careful
investigation
Being a native Georgian, devoted
to the states progress and develop
ment, would like to see the state Sc
cure this plant, but we all recognize
that the important things TO have il
located at the most advantageous place

She knows you best who loves you,
She saves you most who knows,
From all that shocks and shoves you,
From all that showers its blows.
She knows because she loves you,
And loving makes all wise
The spirit of her tender heart,
The faith that brooks no lies.
You often grow impatient,
And pride your nataure shows;
And yet from these she saves you,
Because through love she knows.
She knows because she loves you,
And so in love she sees
The depths beneath your Swallows.
The hidden mysteries.
You think her blame unfriendly,
But truth must speak through love
Or men we're men unhappy
AS clouds that swim above.
And so from that in pity,
From all knocks and shoves,
She saves you through her knowledge
She knows because she loves.

ment.
The formal opening exercises be-
gan with a luncheon served in the
south dining-room Of Kentucky Hall
for the Vocational Faculty and in
vited guests, principally persons
who had contributed toward the
erection OF the building. The bless
ing was asked by Professor Knight
and after the bountiful repast was
finished President Frost made a
brief statement regarding the build
ing-the need which had existed for
more accommodations for young
women, the Importance of the Vo-
cational Department, the plan Of the
building itself and the effort which
was being made to secure the money
necessary from Kentucky donors
The entire cost of the building, in
Guiding the dining-rooms and the
model kitchen adjacent, is about
$4,000, and something more than
$4,000 has already been secured.
He was followed by Mrs. Governor
Yeager, who expressed her great ad-
miration for the building itself and
for the spirit Of the school as she
felt il in meeting the students and

ence which the building should have
