the larger questions that vitality IN
formation as to how he would deal
with them If elected governor. He
showed Enthusiastically hat he had CIV
en- much study TO the questions that
will confront the governor, and that he
would bring to the office a practical
experience and a temperament adapt
ed to close application to the duties of
the office. These were the character
istics of his campaign for the nominal
ton and 1t was these that impressed
the voters with his superior fitness for
the high position.
Mr.. Davis will enter the campaign
for election with the support of a
united party. His opponents for the
nomination have accepted the result
In an admirable spirit, congratulated
him and pledged him their cordial sup
port. This means that he will have
the support of all elements of the par
ty In all sections Of the state. And
his support will not be limited to re-
publicans, although that will be suffi-
cient to insure his election. Many
Democrats are weary of Alexander and
will refuse to cast their votes to re-
tain him In the state house for another
term. The candidacy of Mr.. Davis
will appeal to all voters who desire to
see the office of governor filled by a
man OF quiet dignity, ripe business ex-
perience, and whose highest aim will
be to give the people of the state the
best possible service rather than be
perpetually posing before them and
indulging in promises that can not be
fulfilled.-Wallace Miner.

Presidents Plan Would Only Shift
the Burden.
The president of the Texas Farm
ers' union states an economic Law
when he points out that the presi-
dents plan would merely shift the bur-
den. A law compelling the roads to
grant an ~eightIhour day at 10 hours
pay, will increase the cost of moving
products and commodities to market.
The railway managers say the imme-
date cost of granting the present de-
mand Will be s52. 900 900 yearly; and
II the granting OF an eight-hour day
to 400 1000 men should lead to a gen.
oral eight-hour day In the whole rail-
road service, the annual cost will be
between $500, 000, 900 and $500, 900, 900.
these estimates are grossly exaggerat-
ed, but admit that there will be an
increased payroll.
No n claims that the granting of
the eight-hour day with 10 hours pay
would add anything to the produced
wealth of the country. 1t would not
make another bushel of wheat, N
other pound of lead, zinc or copper,
another fleece OF wool, another 1000
feet of lumber, another can of salmon,
another box of apples.
To Get "A Bad Matter OFF His Hands.
II the organized trainmen take
greater toll out of railroad earnings,
1t follows that either the railroads or
the people who give business to them
must yield up the increase. To get
a bad matter on his hands, President
Wilson proposed an increase in freight
rates. lie thought that scheme would
make him popular with the trainmen
and at the same time placate the rail
roads. The one effect he did not fore
see was the protest that has gone up
from the producers in every part OF
the union-the flood of kilograms that
would deluge the White House, of
which the telegram from he head OF
the Texas Farmers union was a rep
resentative expression.
For the most part these protests are
reasonable. They are not hostile 10
the cause of the trainmen. They sim
ply call for arbitration or investiga-
ton. to determine two questions not
now answered:
1. Are the trainmen entitled to in
creased payT
.. II they are so entitled, who shall
bear the burden of the increase-the
railroads or the farmers and other pro-
ducers.-Spokesman Review.

PRESIDENT on TEXAS FARMERS
UNION TO PRESIDENT OF U. \.
II for mn Elght-hour Day II II Does
Not Lay Still Greater Burden on the
Farmers-Demands Arbitration TO
Disclose the Facts.

A telegram sent TO President Wilson
by the state president of the Texas
Farmers union, protesting against an
arbitrary settlement OF the railroad
dispute In a way that would advance
freight rates and put added burdens
on the farmer, probably expresses the
Judgment OF farmers north al we'll as
south.
II declares approval of the ideal of
an eight-hour day, and holds that
every laborer should receive such
compensation as will enable him to
support his family In comfort" The
president Is told that II his plan can
be 80 applied that II will provide an
eight-hour day "for all those who la
Dor, including the farmers. and a rea-
sonable wage for the man who plows
as we'll as those who work In other
industry, then we are with you; but
II In iSs application It results in de-
creasing the hours of those employed
in the cities and increasing the hours
OF those employed In the field. then we
are opposed to H."
Principle Too Great 20 Yield 10 Inti-
mldation.
THE farmers of this state work
IL TO IA hours per day and the av-
erage compensation does not eS-
coed 81 per day. We have In this
state nearly u quarter OF a million
women working as farm hands In
the field from sun tc sun for 80
ont per day. which is as much as
the products of their toll will bear.
II your plan is capable OF giving
them a full days pay for eight
hours labor. then we are with
you; but II II results In shifting
either hours or dollars from those
who labor In industry to the backs
of those who follow the pillow, We
are unalterably opposed to II.
I'VE are willing to give to labor
engaged In transportation service
as favorable working conditions
and AS fair remuneration as we
ourselves receive. II is an accepted
custom In increasing the wages OF
labor TO pass the increase on to
the consumer or producer. The
men who pay the freight therefore
have an equity in these disputes
which can not involuntarily be
transmitted TO others, and the
principle involved is too great to
temporarily yield 10 intimidation.
I'VE believe the fundamental
issues so far reaching, the finan-
cial outlay OF such gigantic pro-
portions. and the present applica-
ton of the principle so limited in
It's scope. that the subject should
receive the most careful nvesti-
CATION and study where the farm
ers and all interests can receive a
patient hearing. and we ask that
the entire controversy be turned
over 10 a properly constituted
committee for adjustment.

nomic reforms that they exhaust

CITIZENS TO TELL HOW
FUMES DAMAGED CROPS
Large Delegation Here to At
tend Hearing Before Leg
iSIatiVe Committee

Two hundred strong, delegation OF
citizens from north Georgia counties
who claim that their crops and property
have been destroyed by fumes from the
Tennessee Copper company plant at
Ducktown reached Atlanta Monday
morning and will appear Monday after
noon before the joint committee OF the
house and. senate which was appointed
to investigate the dispute between them
and the copper company.
The hearing will be held in the SEN
ate chamber, beginning at 3 o'clock.
Following the assertion of the tar-
mers of north Georgia that the board
of arbitration appointed under the con-
tract between them and the copper COM
pany, was not awarding the farmers
proper damages for the destruction OF
their property, Lamar Hill and j. A
Drake. special attorneys for the state
in this litigation, drew up a notice TO
file with the supreme court giving the
state the option of abrogating the con-
tract with the copper company by which
this arbitration board had been created
Governor Harris was asked to sign
this notice of abrogation, but instead
placed the matter of the Ducktown con-
troversy in its entirety before the legls-
lature The result was that the JOINT
committee of the two houses was APP
pointed to investigate the claims of the
two parties in the dispute. The hearing
Monday afternoon will be the first helo
by the committee.

ID MORE DEATHS
DUE TO INFANTILE
PARALYSIS IN N. Y.
Rain and Cooler Weather Fails
to Check Disease and 1903
New Cases Are Reported
Today
CRy A.sooistea Prsss.)

NEW YORK. July. 1O.-Rain and
cooler weather failed today to material
ly check the epidemic of infantile
paralysis which. since it's inception two
weeks ago. has claimed 2ss lives in New
York City During the twenty-four
hours which ended at 10 o'clock this
morning fourteen deaths and 1Os new
cases were reported.
Thirty of the new cases were in Man.
haitian. the largest number yet reached
there IN a single day.
Five city departments united
today in campaign to keep
the city of New York clean in order
to check the epidemic of infantile paraly-
sis. Hereafter during the prevalence
OF the disease. four million gallons of
water will be used nightly I'm flushing
the city streets.
The street cleaning department has
been Instructed to accelerate the remov-
al of garbage, ashes and refuse thrown
into the street in the congested districts
and the mayor announced today that he
has directed the police department to
arrest householders and storekeepers
who indulge in this practice. The tene-
ment house commissioner has been in
structed to compel tenants to clean up
the halls. areaways. cellars and yards
throughout the city. In Brooklyn. where
the epidemic has been most severe, the
work OF flushing the streets at night
will be more than doubled.
In announcing this extra effort to
clean up the city. the mayor said the
city government would use all it's eff
forts during the continuance of the cpl
demic TO reduce the possibility of
spreading infantile paralysis by elimi-
mating as much dirt as possible.
There is no occasion for alarm or
panic.'' said the mayor. The careful
observance of the simple directions as
to personal and household cleanliness
will 20 far to prevent further spread
Of or exposure to infection" Plans have
been made to induce all parents and
children who are inflicted with the
paralysis to send them to hospitals,
as only per cent of the cases treated
in such institutions have died, while
Of the children who were kept at home
about % per cent have died.
After a conference with health Of
ficers and other heads OF. city depart
ments the mayor said today that al
though little is known of the origin of
the disease. all scientific experience in
dicates that II is communicated by per-
sonal contact and that the germs do not
live apart from the human body; that
II is necessary for one diseased per-
son OF another who has been in contact
with him, to come in contact with
third person before the disease can be
communicated
The national health service Is endeav-
oring to trace the origin of the epidemic
and to discover how the disease is
transmitted. Dr. C. II. Lavinder. who
is in charge of the federal health serv-
ice. denied today a report that the
United States government plans TO
quarantine New York City.

OF AN EARLY
ADJOURNMENT DW|NDL|NG
Important Bills Keeping Many
Congressman From Begin
ming Political Campaign
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Congress
began another week today with slender
prospects of an early adjournment
ahead. Four of the administrations
most important Legislative measures re-
main to be put through and Democratic
leaders see chances of a session lasting
into the fall.
The bills keeping members of con-
gress here when many are anxious to
get away to participate in the political
campaign are the army and navy appro-
priation bills, the shipping bill and the
administrations $197,OS0,00 revenue
measure. The revenue bill will be
passed by the house late today. The
army and navy bills. increased by mil
lions by senate committed, face stub
born opposition in conference. Repub-
licans intend to fight the shipping bill
with a f1libuster.
The senate will take up the navy bill
this week when the agricultural bill is
out of the way. After passing the reve~
nue. bill the house probably will start
work on the general dam bill.

Drive of the Russians
Is Gaining in Intensity
(by Assocfated Press.

LONDON, July I0.-The drive of the
Russian armies along the whole Of the
eastern front Is greater than ever. APP
parentIy II is sweeping on with increas-
ing power The Russians have crossed
the Stockhod river in their operations
against the town Of Kovel, a most i'm
portant strategical point, and have cap
tured a number of villages along the
line of the Kovel-Sarney railroad.
Petrograd dispatches say that the
Stokhod has been crossed at UGH, which
lies a few miles south of the railroad,
hut the Austrian official statement
makes no mention Of aGhting at Sto-
bychwa lying west of the Stokhod,
which indicates that the Russians nave
crossed the river about thirty miles
northeast of Kovel. The Russian line,
therefore, in this region evidently is a
very extended one.
The Associated Press correspondent
at Petrozrad says that a surprise at
tack delivered along the Sarney-Kovel
line. while the Austro-GermansE were
engaged in defending the Rovno-Kovel
line, netted a clear advance to the Rus
SLAMS of fifteen miles. official Russian
aispatches say that on the Lower Stok-
bod the Teutonic forces are retiring
in great disorder.
The Austrians have not only been
successful in resisting the Russian adj
vance in southern Bukowina, which
crownland the Russians hoped soon to
clear of their adversaries, but under
taking an offensive. have succeeded in
forcing their way across the Moldava
river The Austrian artillery also has
been very active against the Italians
along the Isonzo front.

PLANTS IN
MACON CLOSE DOWN
BECAUSE Of FLOOD
OCmuIgee River Far Out Of
Banks and Water Surrounds
Several Plants Causing
Them to Close

Rain continued to fall over large sec
tions of Alabama and Georgia today
forcing streams farther out of banks
and resulting in increased damage 20
crops railroad lines, telephone and tele-
graph property, small buildings and
some loss of live stock. Inhabitants of
places not seriously affected until today
had plenty of warning of the approach
of the high water and in most instances
moved out.
Eight was added to the death list
which until today had remained at
twelve. Only two members of the crew
of ten of the hshing smack Phillip
Reyes were saved when the vessel was
wrecked Wednesday.
Macon. Ga, appeared as a new CEN
ter of danger today. There the Ocmul-
gee river was far out of banks and the
water had surrounded several sewer pipe
and brick plants causing them to close
down. Many houses in a suburb of Ma
con were surrounded by water and in
ha.tants were moved out. Damage to
railroad ridges. highways and crops in
that section was reported. Many ami
mails were lost.
Conditions were rapidly approaching
normal at Birmingham but flood stage for
the Alabama river at Montgomery was
forecast. Streams in the central and
southern part or the state were reported
rising fast
Louisville and Nashville yards and
many manufacturing plants in north
Montgomery were threatened with over
flow. The Cromwell Lumber yards are
under water as is the city incinera tor
plant.
The Chattahoochee river, which is ris-
ing rapidly today, had not got so far
out of banks as to cause closing of in
dustrial plants at Columbus. 1t was be-
lieved last night that these plants would
be closed today.
The Louisville and Nashville reported
today that it could not resume service
between New Orleans and Mobile A
washout twenty-five miles from Mobile
is causing all delay.
West Point, Ga, reported that all
through trains on the Atlanta and West
Point railroad had been annulled but
that the Chattahoochee at that point was
slowly falling this afternoon.
Rains in South Carolina are hindering
rail traffic but trains still are running
on slow schedules.

there the wentess ceases.
After Tuesday morning The forecast
is dryness The rivers which are now

Monday morning 1852 inches of rain
had been let loose. Sunday only IA
inches fell. however, and Monday less
is expected.
The record rain precipitation during
the present wet spell. as given out by
ne Atlanta sation of the United States
weather bureau Monday morning. is as
follows:
a. m. Tuesday to a. m. Wednesday.

It's been a long time since the old
Chattahoochee has crawled up over it's
banks to take alook at the surround
ing country. Great crowds in a steady
line of automobiles journed out sun
day to see the uprising. The car COM
pany was forced to put on extra serv-
ice to accommodate the curious. The
corn patches and floral nurseries in
the lowlands on either side of the river
were flooded. The road was in a bad
way on this account for over a quarter
of a mile leading from the river. The
river settlement is prepared and sit
watching the yellow current in it's de-
structive movements.
Despite the heavy rains Atlanta has
been unusually fortunate in the regu-
larity with which trains have been
moved into and out of the city. All of
the roads, of course are running their
main route trains several hours behind
the scheduled time, but this is to be
expected. Within the Georgia bounda-
ries the trains have been able to main
tain their schedules very regularly. 1t
is only on the trains passing across the
state line that there has been serious
delay.
The West Point road has been forced
to discontinue its trains Nos. 35, SO. 81,
running between Atlanta and MOntgom-
cry This is due to the high river at
West Point, where IL Is reported TO
have risen to % feet. The Seaboard,
between Gainesville and Rockmont, has
had to discontinue a branch road on ac-
count of the rising of the Etowah river
between those points.
Southern trains from New York and
New Orleans nave been late but are
making the trip nevertheless with no
prospect of any discontinuance.
The trains coming up from Brunswick
and Jacksonville are running late and are
forced to make slow time on account Of
the high creeks, but no bridges are down
and no washouts along these routes will
cause a suspension of operations be-
tween Atlanta and these points.
