Oysters Are On Sale Here Now
ButNot MuchDemand forThem

"R" is again in the names of the
months, so that the oyster season is
open. Housewives who are wise will
greet the succulent bivalve as a life
saver or at least as a great money
saver, in these times when the prices
of almost all edibles are soaring sky
ward.
Oysters are about the only food
the price of which has not doubled or
tripled during the past few years.
Other necessities have been steadily
soaring in cost for some years, and
now the war has put another burden
on the back of the consumer. But
the oyster is expected to sell this
winter for about the same price at
which it has been sold for many
years There may be a tremendous
increase in the cost of fancy" oysters
listed by name on menus and consumed
by the luxurious few, but the common,
everyday oyster is expected to be
about as cheap as ever.
The food value of the oyster is ex-
ceptionally high. 1t is digestible, nu-
tritious and wholesome, almost as
self sufficient as milk, and possesses
a higher proportion of glyeogen than
any other food It's value is much in
creased by cooking, the addition of the
necessary starches and fats making it
a perfectly balanced food.
Oysters are now on sale in Amsri
Gus, but few are being sold.

Statue of Stephen II. Bush
Came All Way From Italy
An is on Exhibition Here

The Schneider Marble Company to-
day received a unique monument which
also has an interesting history.
The monument is an elaborately
carved piece of statuary that came
from Italy, passing through the sub
marine zone on board an American
steamer.
The statue is a life-size marble por-
trait of the late stephen H. Bush, who
died at his home near Milford, in Ba-
ker county on October 16, 1915. 1t
him in well known pose,
leaning against tree, with arms fold
ed, looking out across the fertile acrts
of his plantation-just as he used to
DO in real life. The work was execut-
ed from photos, drawings and models
of Mr.. Bush, and is pronounced an un-
usual piece of statuary carving.
1t will be on public exhibition at the
plant for several days

Making Sugar at Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Ca, September s.. The
government has acted on the request OF
President B. A. Oxnard, of the Savan-
nah Sugar refinery, who asked that
the river between Kings Island and
tie refinery be dredged to 21 feet at
low water Dredge No. 5, with j. D.
Fitzgerald in charge. was put at work
Monday on this porto nof the river
The fact that the refinery pays the
government $4,000 a day in import
duties on sugar is thought to have
lad much to do with the quic actiokn
by the government in dredging this
shallow portion of the upper river.
The refinery is working at top speed
turning out Dixie Crystals" its 100
per cent. sugar, to meet the strong de-
mand for Southern made sugar in the
Southeastern states All the refinery
can turn out is being sold to jobbers,
and the demand is always equal to the
supply.

SOLID CAR OF PEANUTS
BOUGHT BY ALBANY FIRM
IIRST CAR SOLD IN GEORGIA THIS
SEASON-ENTIRE LOT RAISED BY
JOHN E. MORELAND, OF, SASSER,
TERRELL COUNTY.

DAWSON, Ga, September 5.-It is
announced that a produce firm OF AL
bany has bought of John E. Moreland,
of Sasser, a carload of peanuts, con-
tanning 25,OOO to 10000 pounds of the
nuts. The price paid for the nuts is
not definitely stated but is understood
to have been $1.O5 bushel
This is believed to be the first car
load of peanuts sold in Georffa this
season. The nuts sold were all good
quality and well cleaned. These pea
nuts are a few weeks ahead of the
major portion of the crop of this sec
ton, as the farmers have not been
gathering for much more than two
weeks, and the peanuts have to dry
out from six to eight weeks before
they are ready to be put on the mar
ket
The movement Of peanuts has NOT
yet gathered sufficient headway for the
establishment of a regular market.

CHILD LABOR LAW IS
BAD SAYS AARDW|CK
GEORGIA SENATOR DENOUNCES
THIS LEGISLATION AS UNCON-
STITUIONAL IN SPEECH TO BAR
ASSOCIATION.

SARAOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, Septem-
ber 5.-The opinion that the most
dangerous assault upon the autonomy
o. the states, upon the integrity of To-
cal self-government, that the entire
history of our country records, was
made by the congress of the United
States when it passed the recent So
called child labor law" was expressed
here by Senator Thomas w. Hardwick
of Georgia, before the members of the
American Bar association in an ad-
dress on the regulation of commerce
between the states under the com
merce clause of the constitution of the
United States.
IF it be within the power of con-
gress to pass the recent child labor
legislation, why is it not within it's
power to legislate so as to deny the
privileges of interstate commerce to
legitimate and wholesome commodities
because they are produced by the la
Dor of women?" the senator said.
COR because produced by union la
Dor? Or because produced by labor
that was employed more than eight
hours, or more than six hours per day 4?
Who can say where it will stop, or
how it will end?
IF congress, on the pretext of regu-
lating commerce between the states,
may lawfully regulate the processes of
manufacture and productionfi may fix
and control the hours and conditions Of
labor and may say who shall be per-
mitted to work in field and in factory,
or mine and in mine and in workshop
in every state Of the union, then it Is
easy to see how speedily and how COM
pletely cor gress will usurp the rights
of the STATES, deprive them of every re-
served power, strip them of their SOW
ereign police power and reduce them
to a state of impotent and insignificant
4
yassalage.
Unless it be speedily checked, we
may not hope to see the glorious gov
ernment founded by our fathers sur
vive, for the chief glory as well as the
distinctive feature of that government
was its nicely adjusted, evenly balanc-
ed and finely tempered duality, which
provided combined strength and con-
solidated power for the transaction OF
forefgn affairs in matters Of general
concern, with local independence and
government in all matters that
were entirely domestic and yurely 10

TERRELL COUNTY COWS
A|NAYTSTER|OUSLY KILLED

DAWSON, Ga, September 5.--M. D.
Laing, of the south part of the county,
had five cows to die in, week from
some mysterious cause.
The COWS would rub their heads and
necks against posts, trees or. houses,
which ever was accessible, until they
died They usually lived from twelve
to fourteen hours after being affected,
and during that time never ceased rub
bing.
Mr. Laing called in local veterina-
rian, who confessed that nothing like
it before had ever come under his OBJ
servation, and the state veterinarian
was appealed to That official wrote
that the trouble was due to a poison
Gus accJmulation of some kind on the
grass in the pasture, and recommend
ed that the cattle be moved from it.
This was done, and since then not an
other death has occurred.
Mr. Laing says that he has been told
by older citizens that the unusual ac-
ton and death of his cattle was due to
eatink yellow jassamine, and he in
tends to obtain a cheap yearling and
give that theory a test.

Six of the twenty-three schools in

The shortage of negro help has made
it necessary for many of the children

their attendance at school. However,
the registration is well above the aver
age.
The city schools will not open un-

Peanut Meal For Feed,

BROWNSVILLE, Ga, September s.
The farmers of south Georgia are be-
ing urged to use peanut meal for feed
ing their hogs, instead of fresh pea
nuts, as has been the custom for so
long in this section. 1t is held that
the peanut meal makes better meat and
frmer lard than the peanuts, the only
objection to them having been that
they tend to mae bkoth the lard and
meat soft. Velvet bean meal is said to
be the finest feed for stock and the oil
mill men are anxious for the farmers
to 90 into the raising of beef cattle

LOCAL MERCHANT IS.
READY FOR TRADE.
LARGEST STOCKS EVER ASSEM-,
BLED HERE IN ANTICIPATION OF
BIG BUSINESS-TRADING is AL
READY LIVELY.

This is the last week of the fall
months. Indian summer came in with
Sunday. Every merchant in Americus
who handles dry goods, clothing, shoes
and notions is already getting in their
stocks. The outlook is that the supply
of merchandise in the Americus stores
this winter will be the largest and
most carefully selected that have ever
been shown here.
The good road S leading out from
Americus in all directions make auto
ing a pleasure and the people in all
parts of the country will find it con-,
venient to come here to do their
trading.
The result will be the Americus mer-
chants are going to have the big
trade they are looking for. The prep
arations which they have made will
justify great movement of ship
pers to this city. There are plenty
of people living in a radius of fifty
miles of Americus who want much
better class of goods than they can
get in their home markets. They want
as good goods and as late styles as
they can get anywhere. The up-to-date
Americus merchant is catering to this
class of buyers. He knows that the
smaller towns can handle certain lines
as easily as he can, and that in order
to draw the trade of the heads of the
smaller communities he must buy a
class of goods which they cannot af-
ford to handle, and he must sell them
at a price less than they can be sold
in the larger cities, where expenses are
much higher and where it costs the
merchants more to do business.
The railroads coming to this city
have brought in huge quantities of
different classes and clothing dry goods
and notions for the Americus mer-
chants. These goods have been haul
ed to the stores and are being opened.
Within few days all of the shop win
the latest styles, holding out an in
vitation to shoppers to come here and
buy.
The leading merchants of the city
declare that they have never before
felt like going the limit on all classes
of goods.
The local merchants are now adver-
tising their new stocks, and are also
mainkg attractive window displays.
They expect the trade from now until
Christmas to be the heaviest they have
ever had.
