This is The Times-Recorder' last
appeal in behalf of two old veterans
who are desperately in need CT the
charitable assistance Of the people of
Americus and Sumter county
These two cases have been carefully
Investigated Ey the Times Recorder
and found to be eminently deserving
One is an old gentleman nearly nine
ty years of age. who is, of course,
powerless to work Living with him
are his aged wife and sister, who is
about eighty years old The three men
have hardly enough TO eat, just suffi-
cient to keep body and soul to-
gether This veterans allowance from
the state is thirty dollars year
The other case is a veteran II years
OF age who served throughout the war
and received seven wounds, some of
which trouble him yet He is wild
over Infrmities of age have rendered
him unfit for physical labor. He, too,
gets bounty of thirty dollars year
from the state.
1t has been figured that FOR fifteen
dollars a month these two veterans
can be suitably maintained, and to that
erd The Times Recorder has appealed
for a fund of $3.50, enough to keep
them going for year.
So far the sum of $2O.50 has been
subscribed.
The Times-Recorder is not going to
solocit this charity of the people of
Americus and Sumter county any
more If with these facts before them
they are willing to close their eyes
and hearts and shut their purses, it
will be reflection on them and on the
phiIanthropic spirit that they have the
reputation for possessing.

FOUR AUTOS FILLED WITH

BAXLEY, Sept 19.-Appling county
officers early today caught four auto
mobiles near here in which 1850 pints
and so quarts of whisky were found.
Occupants of the four machines, with
the exception of three men who escap-
ed in the darkness, were placed under
arrest Their names have not been
divulged.
The men, said to be residents of
Tattnall and Toombs counties, were
returning home from a trip to Jack
sonville officers were tipped off in
advance of their arrival and were On
the lookiut for them. Two machines
slipped through BaXley about midnight,
but were overtaken six miles from the
city. While returning with them the
ether machines for which the officers
we're watching were seen approaching
and they halted
/ When caught the automobiles ere

SHIPPING STRIKE
MAY Be SETTLED
SAN FRANCISCO SITUATION MAY
BE HANDLED INDEPENDENTLY
STRIKERS ASKING TOO MUCH
HURLEY POSTPONES TRIP.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 19.-
The labor department said today that
there was some prospect of an adj
justment of the San Francisco labor
strike.
1t is the urgent suggestion of the
highest officials of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor that the labor condi
tions on the Pacific coast should be
handled as unit. The eXorbitant de-
mand for an increase in shipbuilders
wages, however, dims all hope of an
early settlement. The San Francisco
situation may be handled independent
ly, because of the fact that a Seattle
firm recently granted strikers de-
rlands and allowed a wage increase.
Chairman Hurley, of the shipping
board has postponed his trip to the
coast pending the arrival of the man
.ager of the Seattle plant, who is due
tomorrow.

SOUTHEASTERN FAIR
TO 81: GREAT EVENT

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 19.-Samples
of the coming efforts from thousands
of households throughout the state of
Georgia and adjacent states will be
brught together in a gigantic home in
dustry exhibit at the Southeastern fair
at Lakewood Park, Atlanta, October l3
to 20.
Never before in the history of the
country have so many women put up
heir own fruits and vegetables at
hcme as this year Under the vigor-
Gus campaign instituted by state and
federal departments of agriculture, the
ome production of canned products
/ has increased fully hundred per cent.
over last year The very best of this
canning is being brought to the fair to
compete for generous prizes.
In addition to the canning contest
there will be an unusually attractive
series Of exhibits in the woman's de-
partment, which is under the general
direction of Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin, OF
Atlanta, as last year. There has been
provided $4,000 for prizes in many de-
partments of handiwork and the eX-
hibits will include decorating, baske-
try, weaving, textile work, knitting
embroidery, making fans, cooking OF
all kinds, and many other departments
OF women's work.
! The Better Babies" contest this
year is being arranged on more elab-
crate scale than ever. Attention is be-
ing centered on child life by the great
war; and the interest that has been
aroused for the present contest is un-
usual
Thousands of examples of knitting
which is another war product, will be
in evidence In spite of the fact that
the ladies are exhibiting their knitting
on every occasion, in street cars, So
cials, and other public places, never
theless they have never entered their
work in competition, and the fair wlll
offer an opportunity to many of those
who are taking up war knitting for
the first time to see just how meritor-
| ious their work is.

Nations viii Be Born
Again In Spiritual Way

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 19.-Nations
that are being born again politically in
the cruel anguish of war will be born
again spiritually when the war is over,
according to Evangelist John W. Ham,
a Chicago preacher. who is conducting
a series of meetings here, and who
predicts worldwide revival of relig-
ion when hostilities have ceased.
1t is an interesting fact in connec-
ton with the war that France has
come to be conspicuously a religious
nation in the past three years, in very
striking contrast to the more or less
secular tendencies of the French peo-
pie before the war began.
Will Americas entrance into the war
usher in a return of the "old-time re-
slgion?" Atlanta laymen believe it
will, and have engaged Billy Sunday to
conduct a revival here next winter.

In his cell at the Sumter county
Jail, DR.. C. K Chapman repeats the

jury's verdict had been announced, and
he was asked if Judge Littlejohn If
he had any statement to make, he pro-
tested his innocence.
81 am an innocent man, Judge Lit
tIejohn-iust as innocent of this crime
as you are. l know absolutely moth
iIg about it, and time will prove that
/ am telling the truth" DR.. Chapman
declared at that time.
And that is the substance of what he
says today.
That an appeal FOR new trial will
be made within the time required by
law, goes without saying, but until
they have studied the record, the at
torneys for DR.. Chapman prefer not to
discuss this phG.-e of the case.
DR.. Chapman is visited daily by
members of MS family, who send him
{. home-cooked meal once day.

children had told him that her mother
was out there, but he did not hear her.

SUGAR EXPECTED To
DROP IN PRICE SOON
PROBABLY WILL RETAIL FOR
ABOUT s 1-2 CENTS A POUND BY
REASON OF AGREEMENT AMONG
PRODUCERS.

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 19.-Some
relief may be expected by the house,
wife about October 1, or a saving Of
from a half cent to a cent on every
pound of sugar. On that date the
sugar industry, from the cane in the
field to the refined product in the
household, will be controlled by the
food administrators at Washington.
Under the new sugar control the
refner will probably pay IL cents
in the raw statn,-it was stated yester-
day by a wholesale dealer. - this
will be added a cent a quarter for
expense. This makes it possible for
the retailer to place it in the hands
of the housewife for S1-2 cents a
pound
A maximum price of $7.25 hundred
pounds was agreed upon by the sugar
refners of New York, New Or cans.
San Francisco and those of ire S)uth-
eastern section of the country. It was
officially announced that all the re.
fineries will be licensed beginning Oc-
tober 1.
That the wholesalers have also
agreed to abide by a fixed profit was
corroborated by several of the local
dealers.
These tentative plans, which are GER
tain to take definite shape by October
/. it was stated, will render the specu-
letors harmless. There will no longer
be an inducement to hoard sugar for
high prices when it is foreS)ne car-
tainty that it will tumble considerably
in price.
There is no shortage of sugqf in
this country now and very slight on
the continent. However, the new con-
ditions, which will force every ounce
into circulation, are bound 20 elm
mate even the shortage in Europe
This will eventually, it is thought,
cause a decrease below the new set
price. The production this year
throughout the world is conservatives
estimated at 1S,659O00 tons, as com
pared with an average out put for lhe
five preceding years of 1S,712,000 tons.
The consumption of the first six
months of this year was 2,650,00 tons,
an increase of 256,000 tons over last
year. This is attributed to the can
nlng campaign.
The government will take control of
the Cuban crop of 100000 tons, in
addition to the $4,000 tons from Ha-
waii, 10000 tons in the PHILIPPINES and
100000 tons from Java, if expedient,
That is the estimated production OF
those islands for this year. The
American cane crop to be 100000 tons,
or an increase of $4,000 tons; while
the beet sugar will be 100000 tons,
nn increase of 285,00O tons
Sugar refners, importers, manufac-
turers and syrup and syrup and mo-
lasses makers will come under under
the federal control also on the first.
