NELL BILL No VI
READY FOR DORSEY

ATLANTA, Ga, August 9.-The SEN
ate late yesterday passed the Neill
rrilaory bill, which was vetoed last
year by Governor Harris The bill has
already passed the house and now
awaits the signature of Gov Hugh NJ.
Dorsey. This will be the first import
ant general bill, and one of the very
few to come to the governors desk
at this session.
The senate declined to accept the
substitute of Senator Brown, which
would have provided for nominations
by popular vote, instead of by the
county unit system, as provided by
the Neill bill, and the Neill bill was
passed by a vote of "a to Z. The fol-
lowing senators voted against the bill;
Senators Brown, Beck, Council, Denny,
Ficklen, Stevens and Wohlwender.
The Bibb delegation, backed by many
strong members of the house Of repre-
sentatiyes, including a number Of new
advocates Of the measure, introduced
il the house the bill providing that
the people of the state shall have the
right to vote On the question of
whether or not the state capitol shall
be moved to Macon, or remain in At
lsnta
Prior to this time. there have been
numerous insistent requests on ac-
count CT other pending legislation that
the bill not be urged upon the legisla-
ture until the way could be cleared,
From this period on, however, it is the
purpose of the hackers of the bill to
push it to action, with the confident
belief by them that it will be the
principal question submitted to a vote
of the people in the next general cleo
tioR.

SENATE PASSES.
FOOD BILL AFTER.
LENGTHY DEBATE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August o.
The food bill passed through the last
stage of legislative enactment late
yesterday afternoon when it was final
ly adopted by the senate in form prev
iously approved by the house. Presi-
dent Wilson's signature now makes it
law. The vote was Sc to Z.
Those voting against the measure
were: Democrats, HardWick, Hollis
and Reed; republicans, France, Gron-
ma, LaFollette and Penrose.
Immediately after the final vote on
the control bill, the senate by a viva
yoce vote, also approved the conference
report on the first administration food
bill, providing for a food survey and
to stimulate production.
Both bills are to become laws Fri
day with President Wilson's approval.
The delay was caused by the adjourn
ment of the house until Friday, and
necessity for the signing of the bills
in open session by the presiding off,
GERS of both houses. The senate re-
cessed last night until Friday, so that
after Speaker Clark signs the bills
upon reconvening the house they may
then be sisned by the senate's presid
ing officer and Immediately sent to the
white house.
Prompt appointment of Herbert Hoo
yer as food administrator and immed
late operation under the legislation is
expected to follow In addition to its
comprehensive provisions for control
OF food, fuel, fertilizer and farm equip
ment, the control bill carries drastic
prohibition features. Thirty days al
ter it is approved it will be unlawful
to use fCodstuffs in the manufacture
OF distilled spirits for beverage pur-
poses, or to import distilled spirits
for beverage purposes, and the presi-
dent will be empowered to comman-
deer for military purposes distilled Ii

Guides the work Of congress on the
administrative food legislative pro-
gram initiated last May It puts into
the presidents hands for personal use

comprehensive powers, and according
to many members of congress, marks

BUSINESS HOUSES
SLOW TO RESPOND

A day or two ago the Chamber Cf
Commerce sent out to every business
house in Americus a request for GER
tain data regarding which is to be used
il making representations to financial
interests connected with the new Amer
icus & Atlantic railroad which is be-
ing constructed from Games, Ia, Oh
the line of the A, B. & A. railroad, to
Americus.
The figures asked for were to be
furnished on blank forms and consol-
idated by the secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce so that the financial en-
terprise backing the new road might be
enabled to form some accurate basis
OF estimate as to the value of the in.
vestment.
Thus far only about 10 per cent. OF
the business houses of this city have
furnished the desired data and it is ur-
gently requested that the blanks be
filed out and returned to the Chamber
of Commerce offices at once. Only a
few days remain in which to consol-
idate the figures, and it is absolutely
necessary that the information be Sc
cured without delay.
The data will be held in strcitest con.
fldence and the individual sheets de-
stroyed, as soon as the consolidation is
made. Only Secretary P, A. Fenimore
win see the data from the individual
concerns.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August a.
More than 100000 men of the seleetiye
draft forces will be called to the col
ors September 1 to go into their divis-
ional training cantonments. This win
bring the strength of the United EtaHes
army on that date to practically l.

Brigadier General Crowder, provost
marshal general has dispatched the
following telegram to the governors OF
the states cautioning them to make
certain that the first one-third OF their
quota of the first increment Of register
ed men is ready in time.
New regulations governing nlobili.
zation and the certifcation of men
from district boards to adiutants gen.
eral will be mailed to you on Awgusf
9th. In the meantime, local boards
should certify to district boards daily
those who have been called and who
have not been exempted or discharged
either because they failed to file any
claim or because their claim has been
decided adversely,
Strict compliance with this rule is
necessary since on September I, the
war department will call for not to ex-
ceed one-third of the quota from eacss
state to be entrained for mobilization
camps between September and Sep
tember ). Unless we wish to be PEf in
a position of not furnishing men BE-
fast as the war department is ready 10
receive them, each state should have

mum Of one-third of it's quota NOT gx-
empted or discharged This can Dnly
be attained if local boards certify these
lists up with great expedition"

BOIL WEEV|L PARTY
ARRIVES SATURDAY

On Saturday morning at II o'clock
there is due to arrive in Americus a
party of farmers and business men
from Sumter county, South Carolina,
now engaged in touring Georgia and
Alabama investigating the effects Of
the Mexican boil weeyil.
The party is known as the Sumter
County Is. c. Boil Weevil Commits
sion and is composed of some of the
most prominent merchants, bankers
and planters of that section. The
threatened invasion of the boil weevil
has aroused these men to the necessity
Of getting fund of first hand informa-
tion relative to the effects of the pest
and the best methods of fighting him.
For that reason they are making this
comprehensive tour of Georgia and
Alabama, visiting the infested sections
of both states and investigating for
themselves the condition resulting
from the infestation.
In this manner they expect to be
able to prepare the farmers in their
section of South Carolina for the invas-
ion of the weevil, which is practically
certain to occur late this fall or next
spring at the latest.
1t is planned to have the visiting
delegation meet the business men
and farmers of this county when they
arrive here Saturday morning and a
tour of various sections of the county
has been arranged for their benefit.
The Chamber Of Commerce, which
has the arrangements in charge, urges
that as many business men and farm
ers as possible be on hand Saturday
morning to meet the South Carolina
commission on it's arrival in Americus.

QUESTIONABLE WOMEN
ARE FLOCKING TO ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ga, August 9-Although
it is two months or more before the
national army will begin training at
Camp Gordon, women of questionable
character who have fiocked to Atlanta
in anticipation of a rich harvest off
the soldiers are finding the way of
the transgressor hard and stony and
full of thorns. They can hardly alight
before a plain clothes representative OF
the United States government waits on
them with the information that they
had better move while the moving is

soldier in uniform means certain ar
rest. The mercy enjoyed by Magda

shaking the dust of the city from their
feet and seeking other fields where sol

WASHINGTON, D. c., August g.
Sharp reductions in coal costs predict

RUSSIAN CABINET
VERY ACCEPTABLE

LONDON, AUGUST 9.-Newspaper cor"
respondents in Petrograd all agree that
while the new ministry is not an ideal
one, it is probably as strong as could
be obtained under the circumstances,
and one wholly satisfactory to the ma
iority element. All correspondents re-
fer to the tremendous task before the
ministry. while one refers to the fact
that many factories are partially clos
ea already, with others shutting down
one by one, because of the lack OF
fuel. This condition, it is explained, is
due to inadequate railroad facilities,
while lengthening lines of people be-
fore the shop doors are beginning to
murmur about the coming winter.
