ONLY HALF AT
 DOUBLE PRICE

London, Feb. 7-Britishers this year RiIl be allowed to drink only half Rs much beer and whiskey as they consumed the year before the war began and each drink will probably cost them twice as much as it did then. This will be the result of the food controllers dras- tic restrictions on the output of beer and whiskey, according to the representatives of the licensed trade defense league. An advance in prices will take place some time be- fore the new regulation is effective at the beginning of April.

AWFUL TRAGEDY.

A deplorable accident happened, We'd
nesday morning at the Fifth street cross
ing when L. & ~ train No. l, south bound,
due hera at $50. struck wagon in which
were W. E. Singleton and Newt Civens,
killing Mr.. Singleton and badly MASKING
and bruising Mr.. Givens. One horse was
also killed aud the wagon completely de-
molished.
The remains of Mr.. Singleton were TAX
en- to Powell & Center's undertaking rooms
and prepared for burial, and Mr.. Civnns
was given medical attention and his wounds
dressed, after which he was taken to his
home on Conasauga creek.
Mr.. Singleton, who leaves family, re-
sided on a farm near town on the Ath-
ems pike and was about 90 years of age.
He was highly respec ed citizen and his
tragic death is a gpeat shock to the entire
community.-Etowah New Era.

TENNESSEE COPPER
EARNING HIGH RATE
Profits for 1917 Estimated SO Share
on the Stock of The Holding
Company.

Tennessee Copper Co. is expected 10 re-
port earnings this year of about $780,
900, or about 5000 share on its stock.
This would be equivalent 10 So a share
for the 100000 shares of the Tennessee
Copper and Chemical Corporation, which
owns all but small proportion of the cop
per company's stock.
Earnings as estimated would constitute
a record, earnings of the old company hav-
ing attained their previous high i'll 1912,
when net income was $l,095.875.
Tennessee's plants have been brought
into frst-class shape by the new manage
ment and are now producing at full. Acid
output is now averaging about $50 tons daily
or, more than at any previous period. This
acid is all shipped to the International Ag-
ricultural Corporation. Tennessee's acid
producing costs are estimated at around 81
ton, so that it cannot take advantage of
the high market for sulphuric that now
prevails it reaps a substantial profit from
the $4.8l a ton it receives from In
ternational Agricultural.
All litigation arising out of Tennessee
Copper's acid contracts has been settled
except the suit for the Imperial Russian
Government, which is still under negotia-
ton. Tennessee, however, set aside re-
serves last year III preparation for the
most adverse settlement, and so stcckhold-
ers have nothing further to apprehend from
the suit, while favorable outcome would
free part of these reserves and return them
to earnings.
Notwithstanding the improvement in
earnings directors of the Tennessee Cop
per & Chemical Co. are not likely to put
the stock on dividend basis in the near
future. In fact, some influential interests
believe that there is little chance for
dividend as long as the war continues, as
they hold that resources should be con-
served carefully until peace comes and the
necessary readjustments are made.
Tennessee's troubles, however appear to
be over. The company is now established
on sound financial basis, and plants as
stated above, are in excellent condition.
IF Tennessee can avoid the Interruptions
that affected earnings in 1916 and the
prcaent management has removed the
causes of these as far as possible-profts
should continue satisfactory for some time.

All Military Missions To Be
Combined Under Re-
sponsible Heads
US. Gladdens Fighters
New Uniform Causes Return
ing Fighters to Sing as in
Former Days

Paris, June 23.-Amalgamation with
the American Red Cross Of the Ameri-
can clearing house, one Of the chief in
stitutions for handling the vast sup
plies contributed by America, has been
decided on by General Pershing. The
transfer has already begun and the
organization of the clearing house will
be in the hands of the Red Cross by
September /.
The clearing house has been the in
termediary between 5000 societies and
contributing individuals in the United
States and has handled 55,O00OOO
francs worth of Tood and clothing and
100000 francs in cash. All its ad-
ministration has been By American vol
unteers under the presidency Of IL.
Herman Harjes and the business man
agement of II. o. Beatty, who becomes
director general of the merged bodies,
The new organization with which
the clearing house combines Is the
American Red Cross for France and
Belgium, which recently arrived with
Major Grayson Murphy, member OF
the War Council, as chief commits
sioner, and James II. Perkins as as
slstant
General Pershing announced to-day
that he had appointed Major Murphy
a member Of his staff. The work OF
the Red Cross has now been divided
under the following heads; Military
affairs, engineering, social conditions,
fr.t1 ~ n u.
formation with experts heading each
branch
The amalgamation is only one part
OF the constructive coOrdinative WORK
with which General Pershing has been
engaged since his arrival. As one OF
his first tasks he found 1t necessary 70
combine, centraize and subordinate 10
one authority the numerous missions
of a military character that have ar
rived at one time or another. This has
been going on for week and the
French Ministry Of War has been notl.
fed that all requests from missions or
groups must come through American
headquarters.
The longer the American military
leaders are here the more they ap-
preciate the importance the French at
tach TO Americas decision TO send
troops. The soldiers are desirable not
merely for themselves but because
American participation in the war in
a military way has had a wonderfully
inspiring eject on all the other Allied
troops. A little example was ci.ed ny
General staff officer who participated
last evening in the bi-weckly reception
given by American women to French
soldiers returning on furlough. The
men formerly sang a great deal, always
LA Marseillaise' by preference, but
lGtterly this has stopped. The appear
ance Of Americans in uniform, how
ever. had an instant effect and the
soldiers were aroused to all their old
enthusiasm.
Another task which the Americans
find is the elimination here and at
home of as much red tape as possible.
Every day makes them feel more and
more the necessity of free hand as
tEey are on the ground and cognizart
Of the needs Of the situation.
Among the latest reinforcements 20
