Arras front, says the correspondent OF

WASHINGTON AYERS
BRAZIL IS IN WAR

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Brazil's
decision to revoke her decree OF neu-
trality is construed here as little less
than a declaration of state of war
with Germany.
BraziFs action IS believed to indi-
cate a general breakdown Of German
propaganda all over the southern con-
tinents.
Unofficial advices that Chile would
endorse and perhaps join Brazil in the
stand against Germany are taken as
evidence of the growth of friendlier
spirit and corresponding decline of
German influence.

McRae. June % = Newspapers
generally throughout the State may
get quite a bit of comfort out OF Il
little incident that happened in this
county this month.
The County Commissioners and
the County Tax Collector published
a notice in the local newspaper stat
ing Gliat all who failed to return
their taxes would be doubled taxed
as prescribed by law. In due time
the Board of Tax EquaIizers met
and went over the digest. Among
those who failed to return his taxes
was certain farmer, and when
notified that he was double-taxed
he came to meet with the board and
see what he could do about it. He
was promptly informed that it
would not be reduced. His plea
for applying for a reduction was
thai he did not know Of the ruling.
He was informed that it was print
ed in the county gazette in "box
car letters. T"
The farmer then admitted that
he did not take the official organ.
but the board told him that was his
funeral. His excess taxes amount
to about $40. The price of the
paper is only $3.50 per year.

considerable search being made with
the natural eye, and with the hands
being used to open up the forms and
turn over the leaves, no weevils were
found. Finally it was decided to
make a hunt for them with the ma
chine anyhow, and soon they began
to fall into the troughs OF the ma
chine. Less than a dozen rows were
gone over with the machine and they
yielded about one weevil to each row.
The farmers present were greatly
impressed with the demonstration.
They considered that the machine
performed quite a remarkable feat,
and the man in whose field the dem
onstration was made, bought one on

To Crush "KalS8T Bill" and
His COtsTis Of Ssml-gOds

The General Assembly should ny
necessary legislative enactment sus-
pend all laws which prohibit rail-
roads operating in this State from
running freight trains on the Sab
Nth during the present war period.
This should be done with just as
little delay az possible, It will be
nothing less than patriotic duty
OF the Commonwealth. Under pre-
vailing conditions such step will not
and cannot be considered desecra-
ton OF this Holy Day. Loyalty to
the common veal of our country is
a Christian duty. Reduced to its
last analysis such step is an act OF
charity and mercy,il that It makes
our fighting forces more efficient
agencies in crushing the ungodly
and hleSphemous Prussian autocra-
ICY and bigotry, which is attempt
ing to bring the er tire world to its
knees in reverential awe and wor.
ship of that inspired lunatic and
monumental ass, Kaiser Bill", and
his coterie Of demi-gods. Our
fighting forces ought to
be prompt and effective
agencies in Kidding the world OF the
lecherous Prussian Influences, whose
only purpose is to extol ,glorify, and
defy Hohenzollervism.
That these statutes be suspended
Immediately eia imperative. Our
army will comprise 100000 men
and more, they must be hauled. fed,
and supplied with provisions; more
than this our fooi stuffs and mum.
lions of war must he transported to
our ports for our allies. These
Imake extraordinary and unforeseen
emergencies which our common car
riers have to meet. Reliable infor-
nation indicates that the railroads
of tile country are not fully equipps
ed to meet the demands o. the
country in ordinary times. They
will be taxed to the very limit to
meet the ordinary demands Of the
country and also the additional de-
mands Of an army Of more than
/ 900. GOO men OF our own, land in adj
dition to all this the demands upon
our country by our allies. The rail-
roads of the country cant get equip
ment. Many of our largest rail-
roads have had orders III for addi-
tional engines, cars and other nee
essary equipment for two years,
these orders can't he filled on &C.
count of the demands made upon
our factories for war material, and
there is no prospect Of such orders
being filed at any time in the near
future. The State should not tie
the hands OF our common carriers
in their effort to serve the country
in this most trying time. They
should be put in a position where
the greatest possible service can be
rendered to the folks at home. and
also the boys in the trenches. Our
railroads are unitedly cooperating
with our Federal Government in its
effort to prosecute a successful war,
they have of their own accord con-
stituted a central board TO supervise
their operations with this end in
view, and coordinate their func-
tons as carriers with the various
other activities and aims Of the
government, in prosecuting this
war successfully and effectively.
Georgia should not deer them in
their aims to serve the country.
