SHEEpHERDER DIES IN
CAMP
Body of Young Spaniard Found
Alone in Penn
Basin

A Spanish sheepherder, in the en-
ploy of Andy Little, was found dead
in his tent on Sulphur creek IN Penn
Basin on Friday. He had been dead,
it is believed, about two days whea
the body was discovered by the forest
ranger.
c. D. Bucknum was sent for to
bring the body out and left Friday
evening with Sandy Mccormick in his
motor car. Upon their arrival at
Knox, they received phone message
stating that owing to the decomposi-
tion Of the body, Dude Dewalt, sever
al Spanish herders and the forest
ranger had buried the body, after con-
sulting with county officials.
First reports were that the man had
been killed by lightning. But this
theory proved to be unfounded, as the
tent in which the body was found was
not injured. The belief is that ap-
pendicitis was the cause of his death.
Another herder in the employ Of a
sheepman named Bostic Of Payette
died Friday on board the southbound
train. His death was caused by
gangrene which set in a gun shot
wound. The man had accidentally
shot himself through the thigh IN his
camp near Cascade. Several days
elaped before he sought medical treat
ment and by that time blood poisoning
had set in.

FLINT RIVER IMPROVEMENT
ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION

Americus and the Flint river is at
tracing attention. The following is
taken from the Albany Herald of yes
terday:
Americus is interested in having
the Flint river made navigable above
Albany and will probably have a large
delegation in Albany on January 18TH
to attend the meeting to be held here
On that date. The meeting is held for
the purpose of receiving information
regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of making
tie river navigable above Albany, and
the people from above Albany inter
ested in rivir navigation will present
their facts and figures to the engineers
on that date
According to the Americas Times
Recorder, Congressman Charles r.
Crisp, of the Third district, secured
an appropriation last summer to pro

MEDAL FOR this
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry
Up Corn So 1t Lifts Out.

You corn-pestered men and women
need not suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, because
few drops of freezone applied direct
ly on tender, aching corn stops
soreness at once and soon the corn
loosens so it can be lifted out, root and
all, without pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freeZone
costs very little at any drug store, but
is sufficient to take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to infiame or even irritate the sur
rounding tissue Or skin. advt

TO RE.DISTRICT THE STATE.

The general plan as outlined at Cor
dele to so re-arrange the Senatorial
districts in Georgia that the counties
would have more equal representation,
is so necessary under existing condi-
lions that it is difficult to see how
reasonable argument can be brought
against it.
The plan contemplates fifty-one dis
tricts, instead of the forty-four now
existing, each district to have three
counties. There are now thirty dis
tricts composed of three counties
each; nine of four counties each; four
of five counties each, and one con-
tanning six counties, the latter being
made UP of Montgomery, Telfair,
Irwin. Dodge. Ben Hill and Wheeler.
In this district county only has the
opportunity under the rotation system
of electing Senator once in twelve
years. Should the terms of legisla-
tive office be changed to four years
instead of two, county in this dis
trict would have to wait twenty-four
years between opportunities to supply
a state Senator.
The creation of the new counties
has made the re-districting of the
state necessary and the work should
have been done some time ago. Pres
ent conditions work a gerat injustice
on a number of districts, because they
are unfairly represented in the upper
legislative body. The plan to re-dis-
trict. giving every three counties a
Senator, is about the most equitable
that could be devised.
There seems to be but little more
ason why Fulton county shoulj
have a Senator to itself than that the
counties in which Savannah, Macon
Columbus and Augusta are located
should have a Senator each. State
Senators are not supposed to repre-.
sent population. but counties, just as
+, Unlied States Senators do not repre-
sent population, but states New Mex.
leo has as many Senators as New
! York. yet no one has classed the
representation as unfair 1t is {
part of the dual scheme of govern
ment which contemplates that the
lower house of legislatures, state anC
national, shall represent the peopl,
en- masse, and the upper house shall
represent the civil subdivision, sucl
as states and counties.-Tiftol

THE WEEVH CURES.

The Chronicle has made several
references recently to so-called rem
edies" for the boil weevil While we
take no stock in any of these claims
ourselves, we passed them along mere
ly as a matter of current interest
Still, it is possible, as a friend-a
weli-known local cotton factor-re-
minds US, that these publications may
do some harm; in that they may cause
a farmer, here and there, to waste time
experimenting. Therefore. it gives
The Chronicle pleasure to reproduce
an article sent us by the gentleman
mentioned above; an extract from
Bulletin No. "a March, 1870 of the
Georgia state board of entomology,
page %, as follows:
DO not waste your time in ex-
perimenting. The government and
the different infested states have
conducted and are still conduct
ing a vast number of experiments
under the direction of well-train-
ed experts. 1t consumes much
time and costs real money for the
right kind of experimental work.
DO not waste time with agents
selling boll-weevil machines,
traps or specific remedies of any
kind. Beware also of the agents
who have a certain resistant to
boil weevil. There is not any such
plant.
Make up your mind to fight
and call on the state and govern
ment forces for the aid they are in
position to give you and you will
win. Augusta Chronicle.

ONE SOURCE OF TROUBLE.

Alderman Kalmon has commended
to the Mayor and City Council several
suggestions in regard to the tax as
SCISSORS and their work, which he
states will receive more detailed atten-
ton at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil.
Suggestions are thrown out that
there be two assessors for personal
property and two assessors for real
estate, with a chairman making the
fifth member of the board. A striking
feature is that the assessors hold their
terms for a year, with regular meet
ings. A similar plan is now in force
in our sister city of Albany and ac-
cording to reliable information that
city has profited immensely by this
scheme
There are other details which will
be presented later. The purpose is
more careful and detailed analyzation
of the taxable property with view to-
wards discovering the hidden property
and equalizing the values. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that several changes
would go far towards lettering the
financial condition of the city.

city council will thoroughly study the
suggestions offered by Alderman Kali
non and those which will come from
other members, looking towards an
lmicable arrangement and adjustment

Repairs on German Ships to Be Finished
This Month.

Washington, d. c.. May -Four more
of the seized German ships will be ready
for sea during the present month. A
statement issued Saturday by the ship
ping board says the Maia, $3.50 tons,
already has been repaired, and that
within ten days the Armenia, 5,464
tons, will be ready. The Arcadia, 5,454
tons, and the Nassovia 1902 tons, will
be hurried into commission.
Three great liners, the President Lin
coin, President Grant and Pennsylvania,
are most seriously damaged of all the
ships John A. Donald of the shipping
board, in direct charge of the repair
work, estimates that it will cost $780,
600 to repair each ship. Nine vessels in
Hawaiian waters are in very bad condi-
ton. Cylinders OF some large ships have
been smashed beyond repair. Furnaces
and boilers of all have been burned out.
Passenger accommodations on most of
the ships will be torn out to increase
the cargo space. Austrian ships have all
ben surveyed and have all been found
damaged. Repair of the Austrian repair
ships has not been undertaken because
this country is not at war with Austria.
AT least two of the % German ships
in the Philippines viii leave this month
for ports in the United States and will
be followed soon by others. -Four ships
will be repaired in the Panama canal

probably will be announced by the ship
ping board within few days. General
Goethals, who is directing the shipbulld-
ing department of the board, is about
to approve standardized specifications
The shipping board has found, Chairman
Denman said yesterday, tkat steel build
ing can be speeded up greatly if the
government can exercise supervision over
that industry and force standardized
construction. Despite suggestions by
the board, he said, steel yards are con-
tinuing to accept slow time contracts
for foreign owners.
