THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

The revival of river traffic between
st. Louis and New Orleans carries
us back to the days when gentlemen
wore white ducks and drank mint
juleps, when women wore hoop-skirts
and were content to be wives, when
slaves were slaves and masters were
masters. 1t carries us back to the
days when railroads were practically
unknown and when the river was the
highway of the country. 1t carries
us back to the days when L. S. Grant
was a river captain and when Mark
Twain was a youth.
But these days are gone and with
them went the commercial importance
of the Mississippi. New methods
have supplanted the old and the world
moves forward.

ED YESTERDAY.

Albany, July 1S.-Through traffic
was resumed this morning between AL
bany and Cordele on the Georgia
Southwestern & Gulf railroad. The
trestle of this road across the Muck

SIR ROGER EASEMENTS
f APPEAL is DISMISSED

London, July 19.-The appeal of Sir
Roger Easement against the death
sentence for high treason for activi-
ties in the Dublin revolt was dis
missed by the Court of Criminal ap
peals today.
The court did not hear the crown
attorneys. 1t decided that they had
answered the arguments of Case
ments counsel in the lower court.
For a day and half Alexander Sui
Ivan, for Easement, argued, quoting
many authorities fayoring his con-
tention that the offense of treason
depended on whether the accusd
dwelt under the, protection of the king
and that the crime could not have
been committed without the realm.
There will be further appeals only
if the Encouragement gives certifi-
cate that the decision of the Court of
Criminal Appeals involves point Of
law so exceptionally important that it
is desirable in the public interest that
the still higher court deal with it. This
has been done only twice since the
Court of Appeals was established 8
years ago.

NATIONAL TOURING WEEK
TO LURE NATION

The greatest organized automobile
travel this country has ever seen is
assured for National Touring Week,
the remarkable movement that is pro-
noting a general starting on vacation
automobile trips August 9Th by the
motorists of this country.
The idea of an official automobile
tour participated in by every motor
list who can make his vacation coin
eide with the week of August 9Th has
gripped the interest of the owners OF
motor cars through the land. The
early momentum the movement has
gained has surprised the originators OF
the idea. All Americans WHO think
of automobiles and vacations in the
same breath are thinking with the red
letter date august 9Th" branded on
the though.
The automobile trade and automo-
bile clubs have enlisted in the move
ment, and are driving it ahead with
their characteristic force. Newspapers,
sensing the popular appeal of so nov
ell an outing, are hurrying it's develop
ment along.
That American motorists should
spend their vacation in their automo-
biles on the Ioad is common sense.
That as many of them should attempt
to do SO on an official touring week is
merely an efficient method of arousing
the nation to seeing America now.
The organization Of National Hour
ing Week is neglecting no department
or phase of this motoring outing. Ho-
tells are being stimulated to provide
for the week, and they are making ex-
ira preparations to care for the excep-
tional travel at that time. Supply
dealers are Strengthening their organ
izations to meet the demands of the
greatest coincident mileage they have
ever faced.
See Amreica first by seeing your
own state first" is the sentiment back
of this national outing awheel. Coupled
with it is the reminder to the motor
list that the finest vacation offered him
is the one nearest-a vacation tour OF
his own state in his own car.
The average automobilist knows less
about the beauty and natural wonders
of his own state thany any other part
of his country, Notwithstanding the
fact that, whatever his state, spots
of picturesque charm are hidden with
out number within radius of hun
bred miles of his garage. With road
map and an intelligent eye for guide
posts, he may link them on a circuit
that will stand forth as the tour of
his life.
The motorist who fails to tune up
his car for the week of August 9Th is
jeopardizing the full 5uy of his vaca-
ton.

many citizens as can get off are urged

next log-rolling to Albany.
The Chamber of Commerce has re-
quested every employer in Albany to
let as many of his employees as can be
spared, in order that Albany may have
the biggest representation at Cordele.
The larger the crowd, the better will
be the chance Albany will have for Sc
curing the next convention.
The Albany Bill Posting Company is
having a 10x3O foot sign erected on
public square in Cordele, inviting the
1917 log rolling to Albany. Other steps
are also being made to push Albany's
