Senate Passes Two Bills
Then AdjOurnS for Barbecue

The bill of Senator Edwards. of the
Thirty-second, which would give to
small counties the right to contract for
the use of their proportion of state con-
victs. which was reported favorably to
the senate Wednesday morning by sub
stitute. failed of passage in the upper
house because of it's failure to get a
constitutional majority. The vote was:
Ayes, %; nays, II. Twenty-three votes
are required for passage.
The vote was debated at length, the
friends of the bill cOntending that coun-
ties which couldn't afford to maintain
convict camps should certainly get
some return when their convicts were
put to work on the roads of other coun-
ties, and it's opponents claiming 1t would
be a backward step in road building and
would put the convict on the auction
block as well.
Two bills of Senator Blackwell, OF
the Thirty-ninth, also passed. One pro-
vides the manner and circumstances I'M
der which benefit societies could issue
benefit certificates to children less than
sixteen years old and the other pro-
vides for the regulation and control of
fraternal societies, to prescribe their
admission into the state and how they
may be excluded from the state.

take the train to Griffin, where bar
becue will be partaken of at the exper-
iment station.

WOODROW WILSON-GEORGIAN
I'VE have a right to call President
i~Tilson a Georgian. The early years of
his manhood were spent in Georgia and
he knows our history and traditions.
While President Wilson's great heart
throbs for the people In every
state of the union, and he is truly the
president of the whole country, yet
those who know him we'll appreciate the
fact that he is particularly devoted to
Georgia and that he has an abiding
faith in the honor and valor of her pe0-
pie.
MIR. McAdoo. the greatest secretary
of the treasury in the history or the
United States, was born in Georgia, and
he is today as much a Georgian as if he
had never lived in any other state
In this time when our government7t is
compelled to spend billions the nation
is particularly fortunate to have
watch dog of the treasury like Mr.
McAdoo The success of the recent Lib
erty bond issue is a tribute to Mr.. Me-
ADDS ability as a financier. He, how
ever, attributes the success OF 1t to-
newspaper publicity. He knows OF how
the Georgia papers responded to his APP
peal and when l toll dhim that l would
address the Georgia Press association he
requested me to thank you for the splen-
did service you gave in your propaganda
for the sale of Liberty bonds.
TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT WILSON
Mr.. Harris closed his address with a
| tribute to President Wilson. He said:
Great men arise to meet unusual
| conditions but at no time in history has
a man ever seemed so well prepared TO
| lead a great people in the crisis that
now confronts the American people.
| President Wilson has accomplished ev-
erything that he has undertaken and |
know that he will lead US to victory
| over the Germans; and afterwards to
the peace, happines and prosperity that
this country deserves.
For his transcendent ability and
statemanship and the many wonderful
| things that President Wilson has ac-
| complished, he stands today as the
greatest statesman and the noblest fig
ure in all the, world. and he will so
| down in history with Washington and
Jefferson as the great defenders and
preservers of liberty and justice. Thank
| God for Woodrow wilson

A retired physician of Clifty,
Ark, DR.. C. p. Marrs, has invented
a machine by which he has been en-
abled to melt cast iron in five min

grees, and to weld cast iron and steel.
This can be done any day in the year
when it is not cloudy and in any lati-
tude. Clockwork holds the sunlight

The doctors experimental ma

NEW PORT IN PHILIPPINES
improvements Made by Government
Shorten Trip to Islands by From
Three TO Five Days.

A new seaport recently built by
the government on the east side Of
the Island Of Luzon will shorten the
voyage to the Philippines from
American ports by from three to five
days. Manila, the destination here
tofore Of all army transports and
most Of the commerce Of the islands.
lies on the west coast Of Luzon, and
while convenient for Spanish trade
sailing eastward, it involves an un-
necessary trip around the coast for
American ships.
The new port is located at place
called Hondagua, meaning "deep
water" which is also the terminus
Of a new railroad from Manila. The
improvements made by the United
States engineer have laid the founda-
tlons for a great modern port, says
Popular Mechanics, from which pas
scngcrs can reach Manila in a few
hours by the new railroad, and the
improved means of transportation
will open up to commerce 200 or 300
miles of coast hitherto practically
isolated and thousands of acres of
rich agricultural lands, producing

The harbor at Hondagua is deep, ex.
tensive and almost landlocked by 6

For the Don't Worry Club.

Emancipation, or, a perfectly de-
angered and de-worrylzed mind, can
only be secured through conviction of
its possibility. and not simply through
an intellectual admission Of its pos
sibllity. Faith is the prerequisite of
every successful accomplishment in
life. Knowledge and the appreciation
of the power Of the mind over phan-
toms Of its own creation, and, conf
dence to expel them, is as necessary In
menticulture as Is tlAs confidence OF
the gymnast In performing wonderful
feats of metaphysical skill. The con-
dition required for growth to emanci-
patton, is that. Of perfect faith and con-
fidence. born Of knowledge Of the
power God has given US to least out

tion, when attained. can be anchored

THIRD CAMPS
IN JANUARY
Probably In The South For
Enlisted Men Only.

Washington, Sept. 28.-A third Sc
ries OF officers training camps will be
opened by the War Department early
in January. Candidates for commits
sions, Adiutant General Mccain an
nounced tonight, will be selected
from enlisted men of the regular
army or those called to the coIors un-
Ter the selective draft law, no appli-
cations from civilians being consid-
cred.
None OF the training camp sites
now being utilized will be used for
the next series, it was said, although
no intimation of the location of the
camps has been given. It is probable
that following the system used in Sc.
lectlng National Army cantonments.
the majority of the camps will be
situated in the South in order to
escape the rigors of a Northern win
ter.
The camps will afford men of the
National Army an opportunity to win
commissions, and it is probable that
the drafted men will be heavily rep
resented. Secretary Baker recently
announced that every chance would
be offered National army men to rise
from the ranks.
Establishment of the third series of
camps is part of general policy of
the War Department to continue the
making of officers by special training
in order to keep pace with the enlist
ed strength of the service.
