AS appears from the table, France,
Italy. Russia and Belgium were self
supporting, while the United Kingdom
drew it's entire sugar supply from ex-
terror sources. The supply of the Unit
ed Kingdom came to the amount of
about 20 per cent from countries from
which it is now cut off by the war.
Ten per cent came from the East In
dies and 20 per cent from the United
States and the West Indies.
The prospective 1918 crop in France
has diminished to 100000 tons and
that of Italy to $4,000 tons, and they
are therefore short $4,000 tons. The
displacement of United Kingdom sup
plies amounts to 1,435,000 tons; and
therefore, in total, these three allied
countries must import about 100000
tons in order to maintain their normal
consumption. OF this, 100000 tons
must come from new sources.

Money In Cotton.

According to the schedule that has
been in operation heretofore, every
body who has handled cotton has made
more money out Of it than the poor
fellow by the sweat of the brow pro-
duced it. But there has been a change
in the schedule this year. The farm
ers are not only getting good price
for their cotton, but after selling it
some of them are entering the market
as buyers and are making money
specializing on spots. In fact thhey
have become such strong competitors
that they have driven some of the
regular buyers out of the market in
Dublin, where, according to reports,
some of them have cleared from $500
to $4,000 in weeks time- Hawkins

An American league team has won
the worlds baseball championship for
the nine time since the playing of
the worlds series was begun in 1903.
Five times the pennant has been won

no worlds series was played. OF
the teams contending this year for the
final honors, it may be said that the

FIRST FROSTS OF FALL.


Last Saturday morning some of the
early risers, those who are down to
the hog pasture before the first streaks
of dawn, and who have fed the cows
before even the chickens have left
their roosts, claimed that they saw a
light frost.
No frost was reported by the weather
bureaus, but that did not change the
opinion of those who know what they
see when they see it. 49,
AS matter of fact, if there was
frost last week, it was unprecedented
ly early, probably the earliest frost
ever known in this state.
The average date of first frosts in
the cotton-growing belt is around No
vember first In the last twenty-five
years, only four frosts have been OBJ
served in october-that is to say, kill,
ing frosts. They came in 1893, 1908,
1910, and in 1918. In 1902, the first
killing frost came as late as Novem.

DISINTERRING THE DEAD.

1OOT Olu OOiuLHDuS5 WHO spent tiS
declining years of his life in chains
and went to his grave bitterly dis
appointed man, still has no rest. For
long there was dispute over his
bones, which were moved from place
to place, and now not even his fame is
permitted to endure in security.
Thty say he didn't discover America
and, as a matter of fact, he didn't, in
the sense that he was the first to set
foot on soil of the western hemis-
phere.

Guided a controversy which involved
q survey of the entire history of voy-
aging( and now in New York the feud
has broken out-all because of the
celebration of Columbus Day" on Oc-
tober u. There is no such holiday in
Georgia, although bill was once in
troduced in the legislature to make
il so.
Columbus was daring adventurer.
He was convinced that he could find a
shorter route to the Indies, to the land
Of tabled riches, and he was willing to
brave all the perils of unknown seas
For this he is due unstinted credit. Be-
sides, we should feel sympathy for
b m for the luckless fate that was his,
after he had established new possess
ions for Spain But the fact remain,
nevertheless, that others before Col
umbus traversed these waters, and
that Columbus himself never stepped
on American shores
The first white man known to have
actually placed his foot on the North
American continent was the Norsenan
Left Ericsson, who planted his flag on
what we call today the shores of New
England about 1000 A. D.
AS authorities there is the Encylco-
petiia Britannica, which speaks of Left
Ericsson as "a historical character:
also Chambers Encyclopedia, which
states that "the Scandinavians, after
having colonized Iceland in S79 A. D.,
and Greenland in 983, had by the year
1000 discovered America as far down

cal records, we find undoubted author

due
1t is generally admitted that Column
bus was guided and inspired by the die
coyeries of this intrepid navigator.
Columbus planted his standard at
San Salvador, in the Bahama Islands,
on Oct 10, 1892, and was never able
to go further.
Without wishing to detract from the
achievements, through his many dis
Eoveries of the Italian navigator, our
continent was really discovered by the
Morse people, and we are Anglo-Saxon,
and not Latin. -
The school books give practically
all the credit to Columbus-at least,
they used to-and for that reason gen
Grafton after generation has grown
and lived in the belief that there were
no others to compete with the Genoa
navigator for the great honor. Still,
at this late date it doesn't make much
difference, and if anybody wishes tol
single out Columbus it is perfectly
agreeable to us.

have to worry about; not mere COM

out few joy-rides When Europe has
lost all joy? The supply of gasoline
is millions of gallons short for the

tanks, trucks and countless machines

war. There is no gasoline at all, they
say, to be had for new cars in Eng
land. Old cars are limited to about
seevn gallons a month. What would

This may be if Americans keep on with

it will be. Every gallon of gasoline
counts. Save it, for victory!
