And Butter1,ilk, Too !
Greenwood Journal.)

In noting tho rise in prices it is
we'll to take into consideration the
fact that even buttermilk has come
In for its share in this advance.
Prom time immemorial buttermilk
has sold for ten cents a gallon. Other
things might soar or go down to the
bottom, but buttermilk remained at
the same figures. When cotton sold
for fifteen cents and other things rose
in proportion buttermilk held on to
its same old price. And when cotton
went down to four and five cents and
the whole country was blue over hard
times buttemilk continued to bring
ten cents per gallon. But there has
come at last change in the price of
this stable product. We are Informed
that 1t has advanced to fifteen cents
per gallon.
This may be the best indication Of
what lies before the country In the
way Of higher prices. Every thing,
we are told, is advancing, and while
many know by experience that this is
true here is most convincing evil
dence. Newspapers have been hand
MT on account of the big rise in the
price of all material that they use, to
say nothing of the fact that they
have to live as other folks do, and it
Is we'll known that some newspaper
men are passionately fond of butter
milk.

Probation Apparently to BE Fulfilled

AT the beginning of the world-war,
writes Martin Marshall in Leslie's,
David Lloyd-George, then chancellor
OF the British exchquer, was quoted
to the effect that victory would go to
the side that could raise the last bill
lion dollars; in other words, that
this was to be a war Of financial re-
sources. Events seem to be justify
ing this prediction. Financiers esti-
mate that the present cost Of the war
to all the belligerent governments is
about 25,000,0O0,000 year, di-
vided as follows: Great Britain, $5,-
0OO, 100000, Germany and Russia
each $4,000, 1000, France $4,4O0,-
100000, the remaining $3,600,0OO,
600 divided among Austria Hungary
and the various small belligerents.
Germany has been financing Austria
Hungary to considerable extent,
subscribing over $2,000,O00,0O0 Of
the $6,250, 0,000,0 900 borrowed by the
Austro-Hungarian government. Ano-
ther loan was being fioated in April
and the press reports stated that
great anxiety was felt over the dan
ger Of its failure, as Germany had
not responded with subscriptions as
heretofore.
The German war loan, subscrip-
tions to which closed at the end OF
March, resulted in the raising Of
about $2,50O, 900. The loan i'm
mediately preceding was ovor $3,-
000,000,000. Large Industrial cor
porations absorbed $4,000, 900
marks, or about $3S,000,00O, the
largest individual subscription being
by the Krupp concern, which took
about $10,000,000.

IOOHRIE BUYs WHOLE TOWN
In nsylvania--Iaregly Interested
in Timber Lands in OcOnee.

There are many who will be inter-
ested in the following story taken
from a Pennsylvania paper of recent
date. Mr.. Lochrie for some time was
frequent visitor to Oconee, and
purchased large tracts OF timber
lands, some Of which he still holds.
His most recent purchase was made
in Pennsylvania, by reason Of which
he came into possession of the en-
tire own Of Central City. The ac-
count follows:
'The town Of Central City, near
the eastern border OF Shade town
ship, has been purchased by whole
sale by John Lochrie, the Windber
coal operator. This, it is under
stood, means great development for
the coal region along Dark Shade
creek, along side the operations of
the Loyalhanna Coal and Coke Com
rany, at Cairnbrook.
"Mr. Lochrie's purchase covers
Previously to the purchase OF Mr..
Lochrie the Central City Realty Co.
sold 2S7 building lots to indivt-
ual purchasers by retail, which start
ed the town upon its original BOOM
"Mr. Lochrie will still have about
500 lots unsold and he will proceed
on il systematic plan to build upon
his lots and sell homes to his miners
to whom will be afforded the most
liberal inducements for acquiring
homes Of their own.
"'Ihe town will be renamed by Mr..
Lochrie. Its new name will be Nc
gregor, after the pioneer Samuel
McGregor, from whom the original
town sites Of Carnbrook and Cen
trail City were purchased.
'''The two mines now being opera
ted by the Reitz Coal Company put
out daily 900 tons, although they
have been in operation only a few
months. With new houses availa-
bic, attracting more miners, Mr..
Lochrie is certain the output can be
doubled in a short time. The new
mines now in use are the McGregor,
near Cairnbrook, and the Boucher,
near the Central City limits. Two
more will be opened in the town and
the third new one just beyond, on
the hill which can plainly be seen
from Central City. These five mines,
when running, will give the Lochrie
interests the largest individual out
put in the district, outside of the
Berwind-White interests. With MIR.
Lochrie's Scalp Level and other
plants, it will mean daily shipment
to market of 10000 tons. The best
thing about 1t is that there is mar
ket for every ounce Of coal John
Lochrie can furnish certain heavy
consumers at tidewater.
THE news of Mr.. Lochrie taking
over the real estate will be good
news to the owners of lots in Central
City. The Windber man has been so
uniformly successful in all his ven
lures that it is believed he will add
much to the value Of holdings in the
newest coal town venture. His eX-
ample in development work. and
building is also expected to lead in
individual lot owners to get busy,
with the result that in few months
the newer portion of Central City
will be thriving and impressive to
look at"

What He Would DO,
philadelphia Record.)

AS the subject for their weekly es-
say the schoolmaster asked his pupils
to say what they would do If they
had 100000.
At once all heads were bent save
one, and pens scratched busily. The
one exception was little Willie. He
calmly sat doing nothing, twiddling
his fingers and watching the flies on
the ceiling.
At the end of the time the master
collected the papers and Willie hand
ed over blank sheet.
"How's this, Willie?" asked the
master. us this your essay? Why,
all the others have written at least
two sheets. while you do nothing"
Well" replied Willie, that
what would do if 1 were a million

FORMER GUARD sues one
PRISONER FOR ISLANDER

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. THE most
unique suit ever filed in Fulton county
went to record yesterday when Ira W.
Partin, a suspended guard at the fed
eIal prison, brought suit against
Thomas ]. White, an inmate of the
prison, for $4,000.
The deputy sheriff who went to the
prison to serve the suit was invited to
take a seat in the reception room and
send in his card, which he did. After
waiting in the reception room some
time. the deputy was informed that
"6269," which is Whites prison
number, could not possibly receive
him for the present. Accordingly the

sheriff went back and reported on the
regular report blank that ne had serv-
&c notice of the suit at the defendants
most notorious place of abode"
White is a wealthy merchant of
Brooklyn who is serving sentence of
year on charge of defrauding the
government Partin alleges that false
reports circulated against him in the
prison by White were responsible for
Warden Zerbst's action in sus-
pending him from his position as a
guard. Partin declares he will push
his suit against White to the limit, con-
tiuuing 1t after White is released from
the prison, if he fails to get a verdict
in the meantime.

but that this distribution is made
through the department of Entomol-
ogy, which is controlled by a separate
board and not by me or the agricultu-
raj department This board Of ento-
mology has specific fund provided
by the legislature, for the purpose of
handling this distribution of cotton
seed which are of special character,
calculated to resist diseases of cotton
prevalent in many counties of Geor-
gia. They well know that every dol
lar of this fund is expended by that
department, all distribution of seed is
made by it, and that with it, |, as
commissioner of agriculture, have
nothing whatever to do. This money
is drawn directly by the state ento-
mologist through the governor, ex-

Beat Brown BY $4,000
Nov as to Brown, whom l beat by
$4,000 votes in the primary of 1914:
am reliably informed by friends that
men are now going over the state Of
fering oil and fertilizer inspectors jobs
to those who will carry this or that
csdnty for him, although he knows
he could not, if elected, make single
appointment for a period of two years,
as / will make all the appointments
on October 1 next for terms of two
years. The same j. J. Brown, who
talks about political machine was
at the Macon convention in 1912, with
these appointments to get convention
votes against me.
i am reliably informed that this
same Brown who, it is said, has not
sa-med in twenty years, but who has
been travelling fertilizer salesman
a large part of the time, is now
strongly supported by some of the fer.
tilizer interests.
What Brown Charges To The State
Further, want to call especial at
tention to the itemized expense &C
count of ]. ]. Brown, now on file in
the governors office, under his ap-
pointment by Governor John NJ Sla-
ton two years ago as inspector in case
of the damage done to the farmers of
North Georgia by the Tennessee Cop
per Co. His expense account from
June 10 to August 10, this year, pc
Rod Of two months, was $18824. Be-
sides he received a salary of $3.50 to
administer the states affairs at Cop
per Hill. If the "A men in this de-
partment had rendered an expense ac-
count in the same proportion as ]. j.
Browns, it would have aggregated the
enormous sum of $167, 1912, instead
of the $32,120.S3 as shown in the aud
tors report. At the same time he
has been receiving this money, he has
been travelling about over the state
classifying me and my record as com
missioner of agriculture; and each
item is charged up by him not by mile
age, but at full ticket rates.
1.-The record in the governors office
for 1914 and 1915 shows there were
1,128 claims from Georgia farmers
against the Tennessee Copper Co. in
which the arbitrator could not agree.
J. ]. Brown as umpire decided ST.
of these against the Georgia farmers
divided the claim between the compa-
ny and the farmer 800 times and found
in favor Of the farmers only 1S1 times.
l present this as matter Of RECORD
which cannot be disputed"

Atlanta, Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture ]. D. Price, replying to a
letter addressed to him by T. H. Kim
brough of Cataula, Ca, containing a
number of questions with reference
to his administration, shows the ut
ter falsity of charges uttered against
him by his opponent, ]. T. Brown, and
concludes with a statement showing
that Brown has, at every opportunity,
done the very things of which he now
so loudly complains.
Commissioner Price has been in of
flee only three years and two months,
beginning July 1, 1913, and not six
years, as has been stated. His pre-.
decessor in the office was J. ]. Con.
ner, with j. j. Brown as assistant.
They served from May /, 1912, to
July l, 1913, only IA months, and not
two years.
"On October 1, 1912, Conner and
Brown appointed the same number of
fertilizer, food and other inspectors
that l appointed October /, 1914, and
these appointees of Conner and Brown
served under me from July 1, 1913
to October l, 1914, period of fifteen
months, Commissioner Price states.
What They Spent
During that time | could not make
single appointment, and these ap
pointees of Conner and Brown, dur
ing the nine months from January
to October /, 1914, which is that part
of their service covered in the audi
tors report, expended 1929 of the
$32, 1908, for travel, hotel bills, sam
Piles, bottles and expressage. Brown
is making great to do about these
expenses, and l merely wish the public
to know that his own and Corners
appointees spent their full share of it.
Il appointed the successors to these
men and in every case the appoint.
ment was made in precise requirement
with law. The expenses of these "a
men, aggregating $32,120.S3 for two
years, and required by law, averaged
only $18.09 per month per man. With
out these expenses the laws of the
state could not be carried out Fur
Their, the records of this office show
the cost of analysing fertilizers under
Conner and Brown was $2.8S per sam
pie, whereas, under my first admins
tration, it was only $2.40, a clear say
ing to the state of 48 cents per sam
pie.
My own personal expenses for two
years were only $1,16S. / spent in
two years only $43.75 in railroad fare
between Athens and Atlanta, for the
purpose of attending agricultural
meetings there and in that section of
the state. In 1914 and 1915, this de-
partment, under me, turned into the
state treasury approximately 100000
over and above all expenses. These
funds are handled directly by the state
treasurer and paid out by him on
warrants issued by the governor and
approved by the comptroller general,
do not handle these funds and the
law does not require me to give bond.
False And Malicious
my opponent and his friends have
seen fit to falsely and maliciously cir
culate concerning me and my admin
istration, the statement that ] have
given away to the farmers of Geor-
gia during the past six years, 100000
worth of cotton seed. AS matter OF
fact l have been in office three years
only. They know the agricultural de-
partment does not handle or give away
q single dollars worth of cotton seed,
