HORSE AND MULE FAMINE
WILL MAKE PRICES HIGHER

Atlanta. Ga, Feb. 10-If you own
4 horse or 4 mulc, take better care
OF him than you ever have before, for
i'll the next couple of years he may
be worth good deal more than you
can imagine.
An investigation into the unprc-
cedented slaughter OF horses and
mules in the European war, where the
average life of an animal at the front
is only three weeks, indicates that
there will he horse famine" by the
time the war ends, and that as the
result of the law OF supply and de-
mand horses and mules will com
mand unprecedented prices
The United States alone has sent
more than million and half horses
and mules that will never come back,
and more than ten million have been
killed
It is declared that breeders who
Rave ceased to raise horses and mules
in expectation that motor vehicles are
going to supplant them in nearly all
lines OF work, will soon see that they
have made a great mistake and lost
one of the best opportunities they
ever had to make big profits

| FACE MAKER HAS
ANEXCITING TIME
SATURDAY NIGHT

When NJ. Corley, sales manager Of
the Chalmers Motor car, OF which j.
c. Bush is distributor, realized that a
heated argument between J. H. Rich
ards. former foreman on J, c. Bush S
place in Irwin county and Bush
might develop into something more
serious than a word battle, he APP
proached the belligerent Richards in
the rear of the Chalmers sales rooms
on East Pine street and was promptly
"cussed' out for his trouble and con-
fronted by six shooter. Not being
armed Mr.. Corley gracefully retreat
ed but was informed by Richards,
who by that time was induced to leave
by J. c. Bush, that he'd get him
later"
Later in the afternoon. about six p.
M. Richards returned, thanked by two
of his negro iaborers and his son, and
proceeded to put his threat into eff
feet. Mr.. Corley secured pistol be-
longing to Mr.. Bush from the office
desk and faced his possible assassins,
who in turn made desperate effort to
get out of reach of Corley's gun. See
ing the negroes take leg bail with
Corley behind them with a pistol in
his hand, created quite stir among
the pedestrians who crowded the
sidewalks.
Mr.. Corley secured one of his as
sailants in front of Hussey and Bow
les and another near the First Nat
ional bank. while the police secured
Mr. Richards. who in the meantime
had thrown his pistol into an alley, it
is alleged.
The trio was landed in the city Jail
and will have hearing before His
Honor, Mayor Drew w. Paulk. A
warant was also sworn out by Rich
ards for Mr.. Corley for carrying a
concealed pistol, which will no doubt
be quashed Judge Hal Lambdin and
Attorney James DoGgen have been
secured to represent Mr.. Corley be-
fore the courts and to prosecute Rich
ards and his negro hands.

crease of 10 per cent in all existing
tariff duties and 10 per cent duties
on all articles now admitted free, all
estimated to bring In $24O, OOO, 900, this
more than doubling the present tariff

the bill.
The income-tax increases, applying
to both personal and corporation in
comes, are designed to produce $685.
100000 more than the present income
lax receipts.

In addition, beginning with incomes
of $4,000, graduated supertaxes would
