AMERICUS ONE
Of THE DRYES7
TOWNS IN STATE
TRAVELLING MEN SAY BOOZE is
EASY TO GET IN OTHER TOWNS
BUT AMERICUS is ONE DRYEST
SPOT IN ALL GEORGIA.

That Americus is probably the dry
est" city in Georgia, is the statement
of men who are familiar with condi-
tions elsewhere.
Numbers of travelling men, who say
they have no great difficulty in buying
liquor at Albany, Dawson, Columbus,
Macon or other towns and cities, de-
clare that it is almost unobtainable in
Americus. They say that even moon
shine is not on the market.
The officers have been diligent in
watching out for prohibition law VIC,
lations, but there are none here who
seem to be willing to take tile chance
of making a profit by engaging in IL
quor trafic.

ASSISTANT ENGINEER FOR SOUTH
EASTERN UNDERWRITERS HERE
TO-DAY MAKING AN INSPECTION
OF LOCAL RISKS.

Assistant Engineer Jenkins, of the
Southeastern Underwriters association
is in Americus today for the purpose
Of determining whether this city is now
qualified to receive a reduction n the
fire insurance rate.
Some months ago the underwriters
agreed that if Americus would install
fire alarm boxes. put in new motor
truck and adopt certain building ordi-
nances. the rates would be reduced.
Having done all this, the city officials
notified the insurance men, with the
result that Mr.. Jenkins is making his
inspection here today
it is expected that reduction will
be announced at an early date.

LOCAL MARKET OEPOTS
ARE BEING ORGANIZED
THROUGHOUT THE STATE THE
Is ASSISTING IN SALE OR FARM
is ASSISTING IN SALE OF FARM
PRODUCTS.

ATLANTA, GA, September 12.Two
Representatives of the Georgia State
Bureau of Markets are now engaged
in organizing local market depots in
town and cities over the state, where
the farmers of each particular COM
munity may find ready sale for their
surplus products.
Already some fifty of these local
depots have been organized in as
many counties, the arrangements vary
ing all the way from locating a single
merchant who is willing to buy these
products, to the establishment of a
$4,000 incorporated company, with IS
farmer members, at Carrollton, Ga,
where it is proposed to assemble pro-
duets in carload lots and put them
in shape for market
The services of the bureau are
promptly at the disposal of any COM
munity in the state desiring them,
for this purpose. The bureau is
anxious to have those communities
where such organization has not yet
been perfected, make application at
once. Every county in Georgia should
have its own we'll organized depot,
and through these the state bureau will
be able to best cooperate in finding
the most advantageous markets for
all Georgia's surplus food products.
Under that section of the state market
bureau law passed at the last session
O. the legislature, which provides that
it may institute inquiry and proceed
ipgs to prevent unlawful combinations
Or agreements in restraint of trade,
Director L. B. Jackson has written
Chairman VIM. ]. Harris of the Fed
eral Trade Commission in Washing
ton, calling attention to the serious
ness of the coal situation at practical
ly every point in Geofgia, and the fact
put to dealers at higher prices. In
this connection Mr. Jackson says to
the trade commission;
"Whet good is there to come from
the President naming prices if the peo-
pie are to be met with the statement
that there is no coal to be had at
such prices? Somebody is going to
be hurt badly, if something is not done
at once, If the people are going to
have to pay the high prices for coal
which have been prevailing, then the
quicker the government let's them
know this, the better Please let me
know what disposition is to be made
of this complaint"
the order of the President and do not
intend to sell at the fixed prices An
dealer who has offered spot
cash for coal to a number of miners
IL this territory, has been met by the
answer that they have no coal for
sale at the prices named by the Presi-
dent but have alread sold their out
that no remedy has come as yet not
withstanding the action of President
Wilson in fixing standard prices at
mines.

Big Hurricane a Bonanza

The record made at the Big Hurri- cane mine near Pindall during the past week is one that but few mines in any zinc field can equal, and sets new high record in the North Arkansas district Two hundred and sixteen thousand pounds of concentrates, worth S6, 900, were produ ced and shipped. The property con tinues to bring in new wealth to the amount of $1, ,OO0 day.
 The Big Hurricane mine was only a hillside prospect few years ago. The owner tried mining with limited equipment and inexperienced manage- ment, with failure as the result. Mr. Shepherd, an experienced miner, took over the property a year ago and placed it under ample equipment, and with more thorough opening of the ground has made a record. Leslie News.

Beautiful Green Forest!

"One of the prettiest towns in North West ArksnsasW or a similar expression is often heard from travellers when they speak of our little city. The people of the town can make it the 'prettiest" town if every home would keep the yard well grassed and some- thing blooming all through the season from April to November.
 Everybody can afford flowers around the home, but the number who make the effort are woefuly in the minority and many of those who do, unsually make few Init or miss spurts and then give up in despair when unfavor- able weather condition or an old hen with brood of chickens are to con- tend with. The trouble is that they do not plan their work and then set about doing it with a determination to succeed. All of us admire a neat, we'll kept lawn. It will add to it's beauty if there are few clumps of shrubs and beds of flowers here and there. The pretty lawns do not come by chance. It is by careful and intelligent effort that they are produced.
 It is we'll known fact that gloomy weather or uncongenial surroundings has depressing effect upon our natures and is equally true that the beauty and brightness of our home and town tends to lift us up to higher and better plane. "A smile within the home, growing blooming plant with out can go a long way to create happi- ness in this old world" is just as true today as it was when first written.
 Let's not forget to beautify the school and church grounds as well as our home grounds. And, too there is a public square. Don't you think d few flowers there well taken care of would be worth while? The writer believes that civic pride should spur us on to clean and brighten up our sur roundings little. We are sure our good editor will readily give space for short articles on this subject.

Opportunity for Cotton Growers

Expert cotton growers who are look ing for a location in which to plant cotton will find the Carlsbad irrigation project, in New Mexico, most attrac- tive. Cotton has been grown here successfully on small areas since 1901.
 Notwithstanding that the growers have been as rule men without ex- perience in the industry, the average has been about two- thirds of bale per acre. The crop has not been sta ,pilized and the production has been limited and of several varieties. The region is eminently fitted for growing ong staple cotton of excellent quality and this grade of cot ton grown last year at Phoenix sold for an average oi 35 cents per pound. By dlveaifying crops on the project, alternating cotton with legumes Hike alfalfa, peas, and beans, all of which are profitable, the necessity of fertilzing the land is usually eliminated so that cotton can be produced with less expense than in many southern districts.
 The U. S. Reclamation Service at Washington, D. C., has invested several million dollars in constructing an elaborate irrigation system for watering the 20,0O0 acres included in thls project, and will turnlsh informa- tion concerning the soil, climate, crops, and terms.
 The New Mexico valley Is beautiful ly situated, has an enjoyable and health ful climate, contains large areas adapt ed to the cotton crop as well as many others. Its people are largely drawn from the Southern States.

Earth's Tempcrature.

It has long been known that the tenn perature below the earth's surface in- creases at the rate of about one degree per hundred feet, or 50 degrees per mile. If the rate of increase were con stant, the temperature at the relative ly small depth of 100 miles would be above the melting point of all sub stances under ordinary surface condi. tions.
