enjoyment of tasting it. That is if it

desire for more, especially as u

CAP .COBB URGES A
NEW FAIR CONTRACT

ATHENS, Ca, Aug. 2.-The Georgia
State Agricultural society in holding
their second days and final session in
Athens. Pope Brown, of Pulaski coun-
ty, is prominently mentioned as presi-
dent to succeed Captain John A. Cobb,
OF Americas, who is disqualified for
further service by having presided for
two terms. Martin v. Calvin, of Way
cross, will be reelected secretary.
Captain John A. Cobb, in his annual
address, spoke mainly of the Georgia
state fair, which is the concrete dem
onstration of the work of this ancient
society, still vigorous and active in
work for betterment of farm conditions
in Georgia.
He recommended committee to ne
gotiate renewal of the contract be-
tween the society and the Georgia
State Fair association for a term of
years, in view of the fact that the pres
ont contract has only one more year
to run. Concluding his address, he
urged the heartiest cooperation be,
tween the society and the state uni
versity and the State College of Agri-
culture.

Dixie Highway Wins Another
Line of Trenches in Florida

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. g.
Another line of trenches was gained
yesterday by the Dixie Highway As
sociation when ]. H. Scales, of Perry,
florida, sent the message back from
the front that Taylor county had voted
100000 and would build its forty-four
miles of the Dixie Highway of sand
asphalt. This leaves only the county
OF Lafayette in which to gain a bond
election victory in order to clear the
way from Tallahassee to Gainesville,
from which point the highway is
open to Arcadia, Leon, Jefferson, Mad
ison and Alachua counties have the
money and are either at work or will
commence operations within a short
time. Lafayette county has convicts at
work and will provide a good sand
clay road in any event. The citizens
say, however, that they will not be out
done by their sister county of Taylor
and that they will start to work at
once to secure an adequate bond issue
to construct a hard surfaced road.
Marked progress is being made along
the western front between Cincinnati
and Knoxville. Judge Hammond in
command of the Dixie Highway forces
in Knox county, Kentucky, has sent
back the message that after a years
delay an agreement has been reached
with the state highway department and
that work would be started ON the en-
tire mileage through that county just
as soon as the contract can be let. This
county has had the money for over a
year. Judge Asher of Bell county, ad-
joining, whose progress in opening up
the way from the Tennessee line to
Knox county. was temporarily halt
Ell at Pineville by an unfavorable de-
cision on their supplement bond is

to complete MS WORN Judges j. u.
Baxter of Madison and G. NJ. Ballard
of Rockcastle counties marshalled their
forces at their county lines July q to
open ND the highway between Berea
and Mt. Vernon. Success have been
reported in Kenton, Boone, Grant,
Scott and Fayette counties. The Dixie
Highway forces are taking advantage
CT former gains in Laurel and the
southern portion of Rockcastle county.
In Claiborne county, Tennessee, on
the same front, marked progress has
been made. Judge Taylor and his al
lies in Union county have advanced
within four miles of the Claiborne
county line on the north in provision
for the construction of a well-surfaced
macadam road. From the present indi-
cations, there is little doubt but that
President Allison and directors of the
Dixie Highway association, escorted by
a fleet of motor cars and trucks, will
be able to make triumphal entry in
to Knoxville from Cincinnati, Oct. 16,
unimpeded by impossible roads.
Progress on the western front has
been equally marked. Less than 20
miles of the highway between Louis
ellie and Nashville is yet to be surfac-
ed. Under the command of D. w. Rider
this work will be completed within
ninety days. 1t is now a good travel
able road. Between Nashville and
Chattanooga, Rutherford and Bedford
counties will soon be ready to tear
down the entanglements of toll gates.
The bridge over Duck river on the
highway has been completely finished
and the forces in Bedford county are
ready to move on to the Moore county
line. Work is progressing in Coffee
county. The chief engineer reports
rapid progress on the highway through
Franklin county to the top of the
mountain.

BIC MAJORITY ARE
IN FAVOR OF STRIKE

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-This afternoon
after half of the four hundred thous-
and ballots cast by members of the
four railroad brotherhoods voting on
the question of calling a general strike
to enforce eight-hour day demands
on two hundred and twenty-five rail-
roads, had been counted, the managers
announced that a "preponderent num-
Der of the men favor the strike"
So far the largest number of votes
favoring strike come from the South,
and the lowest number of strike votes
from the east. .a~a -
An official of the Southern associa-
ton said this afternoon that ninety-one
and one-half per cent. of all Southern
railroaders affiliated with the four
brotherhoods had voted in favor of a
strike.
The strike, if called, will affect rail-
roads in almost every part of the
nation, and interested parties have

and interesting suggestion advanced by
Representative Adams, of Pike county,
e member of the present house, who
would be glad to receive suggestions
en- the subject from all ex-members of
Georgia's law-making body.
1t is suggested that the association
hold an annual meeting in Atlanta,
V lille the legislature is in session, and
that the members be entertained with
a barbecue and a grand ball. The as
sociation may be launched before the
present legislature comes to close.

Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered In All Spheres

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The passing
CT the Federal League was supposed
to mark the end of frenzied finance in
baseball if the big league magnates
were correctly quoted shortly after
that memorial occurrence. Recent
events, however, would lead to the
belief that although their intentions
may have leaned in that direction at
the time, they are still ready and
willing to spend big sums, or what are
reported to be big sums for players
whom they believe may help them in
their struggle for pennants.
The deal which shifted Mathewson
to Cincinnati and Herzog to New
York involved some thousands of dol
lars in addition to the extra players
who also figured in the transaction.
The New York Club is understood to
have paid something like $4,000 in
cash to Cincinnati along with Math-
ewson, Roush and McKechnie for the
privilege of signing Herzog and Kille-
fer.
Herzog received a new three-year
contract with the Giants at yearly
salary of $4,000 per season and Kille-
fer's contract was continued at the
original figures. Mathewson signed
three-year contract with Cincinnati
to manage that club at an annual SAL
airy said to be in excess Of Herzog's
stipend in the same position bringing
the amount somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. In all more than
$4,000 was involved in the deal al
tllOuSu Tic onlllluS Va NOhtARSt2
makes the actual outlay of money less
than this amount.
Weeghman of Chicago and Ebbets
of Brooklyn offered $4,000 each for
the privilege of doing business with
Herzog without success. The former
then proceeded to purchase in other
quarters and in short time had &C
cumulated Workman, Kelly, Mollwitz
and Carter at an expense reported to
be in excess of $4,000. These amounts
SAVIOR of the days when the Feds were
busy bidding against Organized Base
ball and, after making reasonable al
lowance for exaggeration, lead to
the belief that somebody must be
making money in baseball, notwith-
standing the copious rainy spells,
wars, movies and other factors which

According to an authority who keeps
close tabs upon the receipts and ex-
pehses of major college athletics there
is also some money in college base
ball and football. The net profits of
the Harvard, Yale, Princeton and
Pennsylvania eleyents last season is
set at a trife over $4,000, while the
MEMS showed profit of something
over $4,000. The fact that the foot,
ball teams, playing less than a third
as many games as the baseball mines,
were able to pile up about eight times
the profits of the diamond combina-
tions, shows that the gridiron game
still holds first place as a money
maker in college sports.
Dates for the soccer national chal-
lenge cup competition for the coming
season have been announced as fol-
lows:
Qualifying round on or before Octo-
Der %, 1916.
