Only $l-a-Year Paper
In South Raises Price

West Point, Miss, Feb. 1.-Bill Smith,
editor of the only s1-a-year daily news
paper in the South, has resigned his po-
sition. He did not quit, however, because
he could not make money for the com
pany at the low subscription rate. His
report to the directors shows that in 1915
the returns on the invested capital
amounted to IL per cent In 1916, however,
the earnings fell to per cent, owing to
the increased cost of production, due to
better wage scales and an increase in the
cost of print paper. Editor Smith, in re-
signing, announced he would seek a
broader field of operation. The stock
holders have named Will West editor and
increased the subscription to g per year.

LODGE ASKS SUPPORT
OF MONROE DOCTRINE
Senate Debate on Peace Program Pro-
ceeds Without Incident.

President Wilson's peace propaganda
as laid before the United States Senate
iast week was discussed in that body yes
oay by Senators Lodge, of Massachusetts,.
and McCumber. of North Dakota, both
Republicans. The Massachusetts, Senator
spoke in favor of the resolution Of SEN
ator Borah, of Idaho, In which the faith
or the Senate in the Monroe doctrine and
Washington's warning against entangling
Cumber spoke on his resolution indorsing
the general principles of the proposed
league to enforce peace. Both Senators
assailed the Presidents suggestion of "a
peace without victory"
Adequate preparedness to safeguard
our own peace should be Americas first
contribution to world peace efforts" de-
clared Senator Lodge. He set forth that
without the means to repel invasion great
wealth combined with great weakness
constitutes an invitation and a temptation
to war.
In conclusion Senator Lodge said: I'VE
cannot secure our own safety or build
UP the lasting peace Of the world upon
peace at any price. The peace Of the
world to be enduring must be based on
r1ghteousness at any cost"
senator McCumber, while disagreeing
with some of the conditions precedent to
the peace proposed by President Wilson.
said:
I do agree most heartily with the gen.
eral principle Of a world federation for
enforced arbitration when so safeguarded
as to assure fundamental inherent ma
tional rights. and I cannot allow the ad-
dresses In this Senate, proclaiming the
everlasting isolation Of this country from
world concerns. except wherein We see 1T

interest to stand as the unchallenged SEN
timents Of this body. and above all. I dc

VELVET BEANS
WITHOUT VELVET
ODD DISCOVERY is MADE IN
DOUGHERTY COUNTY-MAY
DEVELOPE VALUABLE.

Putney. Ga, Oct. ia velvet bean
without the velvet has come to light
in Dougherty county, according to c
B. Burley. Herbert White, of this
city, is the local Burbank who develop
ed this prodigy in vegetable life. The
pod Of the bean is green during the
growing season and after maturity
presents a dull, clay-like appearance.
The seeds are white.
Mr.. White made the discovery ac-
cidentally few years ago, and has
been experimenting with the develop
ment since that time. This year he
has about an acre and a half in these
beans.
Mr.. Burley is convinced that the
new product will be much better for
the absence of the velvet, or down.
which covers the hull OF the ordinary
velvet bean. He argues that it will
make much better COW feed and will
be much more easily picked.

D, N DICKINSON
DIES IN DETROIT
WAS POSTMASTER GENERAL IN
cLEVELAND'S ADMINISTRA-
TION DIED YESTERDAY.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 15.-Don M.
Dickinson, 81 years of age, died at his
home in this city this afternoon after
long illness. His death was due to
old age and complication of dis
eases.
Don M. Dickinson, lawyer, formerly
was leader of the democratic party
in Michigan, was postmaster general
in President Cleveland's first admin
istration, and was offered but de-
clined a cabinet position in Cleve-
lands second administration
Mr.. Dickinson was the American
member of the Court of Arbitration
in 1902 to adjust a controversy be-
tween the United States and the Re-
public of San Salvador arising from
claim against the General American
republic, presented by an American
company which had a concession for
the collection of port duties in san
Salvador. The commission, which in
cluded among its members also a res
ident of San Salvador and was headed
by a Canadian jurist, decided against
San Salvador.
Mr.. Dickinson was born at Port
Ontario, N Y, January IT, 1916, but
was taken by his father to live in
Michigan in 1S4S. Graduating from
the University of Michigan in 1867,
he began to practice law, soon achiev-
ing national reputation for his legal
and oratorical ability.
Entering politics in 1879. Mr.. Dick
inson became chairman of the Michi-
gan State Democratic committee in
1876 and conducted the campaign for
Tilden in that state. He was chosen
member of the Democratic National
committee for Michigan in 1880 and
