Startling typhoid Fever Figures

THOSE are startling hgnres published b., by

losses iii Virginia from typhoid fever. But
no one can dispute them. The department
has accurate statistics. OF course. as TO the
number OF cases annually in the State. and
its estimate OF their probable cost seems
moderate Nor is it likely that its calculation
of the mere pecuniary productive value OF
human life which il places at $4,000, Will

NEW TARIFF FOR.
RE-SH|P COTTON.

The Central of Georgia railway has
issued a tariff providing for the con-
centration of cotton at Americus, from
certain stations on the Central of
Georgia railway for re-ship-
ment to cotton mill points on the line
of the Central in Alabama, Tennessee
and Georgia, which becomes effective
September list, 1916. This is in ac-
ccrdance with the promise of Freight
Traffic Manager Charles T. Airey, of
the Central of Georgia, when he met in
conference with the cotton men of
Americus and the Chamber of Com
merce.
The new tariff is a reduction and a
plan which Americus has desired for
some time. 1t is the elimination of the
conferences between the cotton men
and the active work of Secretary E. H.
Hyman, of the Chamber of Commerce.
1t will be recalled that Rate Expert ].
Prince Webster, of the railroad COM
mission, was in Americus, on one oc-
casion when the matter was taken
up.
A copy of the order of the tariff has
been sent to Secretary Hyman and also
placed on file at the Central of Geor-
gia station. The people interested in
this new change will find the informa-
tion at these two places.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Sir Roger Case
mems attorney at noon today had
heard no word of any change in the
plans for executing Easement Thurs
day morning. The famous prisoner
himself was reported as apparently un-
concerned regarding his approaching
execution, and today partook heartily
OF the prison meals served him.
The case of Easement, which has
aroused considerable sympathy in
many parts of the world, is one of
those growing out of the short-lived
Irish rebellion. the prisoner, who
was convicted of high treason, was al
legged to have been the financial head
of the rebellion and to have intrigued
with the Germans in bringing about
the revolt against British authority
ard unless reprieved and sentence be
suspended he will be hanged at sunrise
Thursday in the Tower of London.

No Deutschland at Capes.

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, Aug 2.
Eighteen hours after the Deutsch-
land left Baltimore the German super
submarine had not been sighter either
at the Virginia Capes or in Hampton
Roads, and nothing has been heard of
the vessel definitely since it passed
Tangier Sound, sixty miles from the
capes at $50 O'Clock this morning. At
that time the submarine freighter was
reported as making sixteen knots an
hour, but, apparently, proceeded much
slower later on.
Passengers arriving at Newport
News on ships docking there this af-
ternoon said they saw masts projecting
out of the water outside the three-mile
lit, leading to believe that possibly
nets had been set to catch the Deutsch-
land should that vessel travel inside
the area so netted. Aviators, whose
identity has not yet been established,
were seen this afternoon flying over
the lower Chesapeake bay.

BRIDGE IS
UP To DOOLEY FOR
FINAL AC TION 6

The question as to whether Sumter
and Dooly counties will build a bridge
over the Flint river at Murray's Ferry,
is up to Dooly county. The commits
sioners of the two counties met late
Tuesday afternoon at the ferry and
discussed the plans, with the final offer
If Sumter to bear half the cost of con-
struction.
Sumter Commissioners Johnson,
Daniels and Rylander met the Dooly
commissioners. A large section OF
swamp lies on the Sumter side OF the
proposed bridge, and Dooly wants
Sumter to build a fill along this sec
tion, while Sumter wants steel struc-
ture approach erected which would be
above the high water mark, and stand
half Of the cost of erection.
The Dooly commissioners objected
to this, and would only agree to come
from the Dooly side to center of the
river, paying that cost. Under this
Ilan, about seventy per cent. of the
cost of the bridge would fall on Sum
ter county.
Among the arguments presented by
Commissioners Rylander and Johnson
was that Vienna was only 9 miles from
the bridge; Cordele was 10 miles, while
Americus was IS miles. II would be
necessary for Sumter to build a high
way almost twice as long to the bridge
from the county site as either Dooly
or Crisp counties Besides the cost of
the bridge, Sumter would be forced to
construct a highway of much more
length, which would be the best in the
state.
Sumter agreed to pay half of the cost
of the bridge, and the matter is now up
to Dooly for final action and decision.

He said further that cargo for the

indicating the vessels port of entry

Ell PASO, Tex, Aug. 1.-Two troops
of regular cavalry, supported by bat
talon of the Twenty-third United
States Infantry is securing the
gulches and canyons between Finley,
Tex, and Fort Hancock, today, seach-
ing for Mexican bandits who are re-
ported to have crossed the border in
large numbers. The troops were sent
to the scene of their present activities
after report had been rendered Brig
On. Bell here telling of the incursions
of the alleged bandits, but no clashes
with the outlaws, so far as is known in
Ell Paso, has yet occurred.
Late this afternoon reports sent to
Gen. Bell by officers commanding the
troops sent to search for the bandits
said that thorough search of the ter
ritory about Fort Hancock had failed
to reveal the presence Of bandits there.
