Judgment of Judge Newman's court
in the case of Haven & Clement, of

Haven & Clement, cotton brokers,
claimed that Mr.. James invested in
cotton futures through their offices
and that they advanced him money
on account with which to buy fu-
t,,res. and that he refused to reim-
burse them. James resisted payment
of the claim, one of the points of his
defense being that money advanced
with which to buy cotton futures
could not be legally. recovered. A
Jury in the United States court mere
gave Haven & Clement verdict in
the sum of $15,274. The case was
appealed, and among the grounds OF
appeal was Judge Newman failure
to charge the jury on certain points,
which charge, the defense insisted
should have been given.
1t is said that speculation in cot
ton futures marked the beginning OF
James business troubles.

WOMEN OF THE SOUTH
BEAUTIFY DIXIE HIGHWAY
TAKE UP WITH ENERGY AND EN-
THUSIASM THEIR TASK ON
4,OOO-MILE ROADWAY.

National highways have been plann-
ed TO line all parts of the country.
There can be no doubt of the benefit
of such highways to the nation. The
plans are usually halted, however, be-
cause of the inability of the states to
get together.
Much has been done, however, as
the great trans-continental Lincoln
highway attests. Another national
road on the way to completion is the
Dixie highway extending 1000 miles
from the Straits of Mackinac on the
north to the Everglades of Florida
on the South.
The identifying of these great
highways is one of the most import
ant features in the completion of
tourist routes. The Dixie highway
will be the first at'onal roadway to
benefit by the good roads educational
campaign conducted by the various
women's clubs throughout the coun-
try for some time.
The building of these highways,
so important to our national pros
perity, while a man-size job, never
could be a mans work entirely. The
artistic, the beautiful, the historic
and the homely aspects of these great
projects need the woman's touch to
perfect them.
Nowhere have women taken up the
task with greater energy and enthu-
siasm than in the South A coterie
of prominent Southern women have
lately banded together to create act
i've organizations for aiding in the
work of building the Dixie high
way.
The plan as originated by the
women of Georgia is to plant trees
and flowers along the highway, en-
courage folks who live along the
route to paint their houses, barns
and fences, trim up the lawns and
mark all points of historic interest.
Wayside wells will be attractively
marked, the ground around them
cleaned up, a rustic. seat built nearby
and an invitation to stop for a drink
displayed at just the right spot where
it will be sure to catch the eye OF the
thirsty traveller.
Through the beautiful Bluegrass
region of Kentucky famed in song
and story elm trees and dogwood will
be panted in Tennessee, on the
stretches of road where rugged oaks
and mountain laurel have not already
been literally distributed by the hand
of Nature pecan trees will be set out.
The blackberry tree has been chos-
en- to adorn long stretches OF the
beautiful roads in Georgia, and sew
eral hundred of these have already
been put in the ground under the
personal supervision of the enthusi-
astic women who are behind the work
there.
Royal palms, red and pink h1bis-
Gus and oleanders in great profusion
will add much to the semi-trop1cal
beauties of the Florida landscape.

OXEN SOLD FOR 1854
EACH IN LONDON MARKET
Time Was When Beef Was Much
Higher Than 1t Is Today.

Even at that, beef is not so high
as it has been in years past. In the
good old times" they sometimes had
to pay more than we are paying now.
Records show that in the period
1775-1825 the price of beef in the
London market was much higher
than it is today, simply due to the
scanty supply. Then the entire
amount for consumption was pro-
duced at home, under the intensive
system. as this was the period before
opening up of the great American
plains.
On September II. 1889, John West
ear of Creslow, Buckinghamshire
Eng, sold Is oxen to a London Dutcn'
er at an average of s249 apiece. His
ton 80 oxen, between 1898 and 1911
made him an average of $531 apiece
all sold for beef. In 1872 he sold
SO head at an average of $3.50.

prepared in pickle, like tongue. With
the zebu crossed on American cattle
the result is an almost ideal beef an
imal, although the hump in some in
stances largely disappears.
1t is, however, the immunity of
both the full and half-bloods from
most cattle diseases that gives such
high promise to this strain of cattle
for the Southern states. Much of
Texas and other Southern territory
is ravaged by the deadly Texas cat
tie fever, caused by the bite OF the
of the fever tick, which results in an
nual losses of millions of dollars, but
to the attack of this pest the zebu is
quite oblivious, while the crosses be-
tween it and our American beef ami
mals-our Herefords, Shorthorns,
Angus, Galloways and other beef
types-are also practically tick fever
proof. Both the pure-bred zebus and
the half-breed mingle freely with the
herds ravaged by the fever without
contracting the disease.
Likewise they are much less affect
ed by other parasites and cattle pests,
such as horn fles, CAD flies, screw
worms and other carniverous insects.
The screw worm in particular caused
terrible suffering and great damage
among Southern cattle. An animal
cuts or scratches itself against a
barbed wire fence; Immediately the
lowering fly of this worm alights up
on the sore or the blood and lays it's
eggs. These hatch almost smulta-
neously with the laying-so quickly
fhaf tho
worms were born alive-and the
worms begin boring into the flesh,
and in short time eat hole which
may become the size of goose egg.
Quick, Strong Workers.
The practical immunity of the
Brahmin COWS and bulls as well as
the half-breeds to the screw worm
| lies in the fact that these exceedingly
active animals seldom allow them
selves to get scratched. They are
wise and wary, and while they some
times go over a fence they seldom go
into one, as does the Shrorthorn or
| Hereford. On this account they are
coming into marked favor in Cuba,
where the screw worm is national
pest.
| ln6y are also pIOFluS W NC ga
ceptionally fine work animals. They
are strong, but, unlike the ordinary
OK, they are very quick walkers and
are especially at home under tropi-
cal conditions.
Cuba is raising a race of cattle
peculiar to the island. They will have
the characteristics of both their East
Indian and their American parents,
namely, size, excellent beef qualities,
| uuickness and endurance, and an i'm
munity from many Diseases rare
combination for the tropics.
Meanwhile between the breeding of
zebus in the Southern tates and the
active work in progress all through
the South n stamping out the Texas
fever tick through arsenical dipping
the agricultural department holds out
the hope that in ten years there will
be practically no Texas fever This is
most encouraging thought, and
promises a niue hgreater and proba-
bly, cheaper beef supply.

PRAISES GEORGIA'S PLAN
OF WORKING HIGHWAYS
NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON PRIS-
ONS COMPLIMENTS STATE ON
ROAD WORK FOR CONVICTS.

ATLANTA.-Con road work is
developed in Georgia to greater ex-
tent than in any other state. June
1, 1915, according to a report re-
ceived by the National Committee on
Prisons, 1892 felony and 9,1S5 mis-
demeanor convicts were employed on
the roads.
The state prison commission has
supervision over all felony and mis-
demeanor prisoners in Georgia. This
centralized control is in advance of
the method in vogue in most states of
placing misdemeanor prisoners under
county control. 1t makes possible the
better development of any labor sys-
tem-on roads, farms or in manu-
featuring.
Any two or more counties may
combine for the purpose of working
and improving the roads of their re-
spective counties with the approval
and consent of the prison commits
sion. A county has the right to de-
liver it's quota of conVicts to another
county, the county receiving the con-
victs aging for their services by an
exchange of convicts or work on the
roads. No provision is made for pay
ment between the counties in money.
Georgia Congratulated.
When convicts are employed by
any county rigid regulations are en-.
forced. The county must provide at
it's expense proper guards, clothing,
bedding, buildings, medical superVis-
ison, etc. They are also required to-
furnish a specified diet fixed by the
prison commission; for instance, a.
certain amount of fresh meat spec
flied number of times a week.
The National Committee on Pris-
ons congratulates Georgia on its ex-
cellent showing, but asks If some OF
the value were returned to the con-
vict would it not lessen the cost of
guards?
