SENATE PUTS FARMERS BACK ON
LIST OF THOSE TO BE FIXED,
AFTER HOUSE HAD EXEMPTED
PRODUCERS FROM PROVISIONS
OF BILL.-SALARIES OVER $500
MUST PAY $40 TAX.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October H.
The Senate finance committee in re-
vising the war revenue bill approved
a business or occupational tax. House
provisions placing tax of $40 on all
persons engaged in any trade, bus
mess, or profession" whose gross re
ceipts exceed $4,000 were adopted af-
ter being amended so as to include
farmers, whom the House had ex-
empted. Announcement was made
that amendments which would furnish
some relief to farmers would be con-
sidered later.
In considering the special tax sit
uation the committee accepted, with
some changes House imposts on
brokers, proprietors of amusement
places, tobacco manufacturers and
buyers of new or used automobile
and motorcycles. Sections levying
excess taxes upon the capital stocks
of corporations we're temporarily pass
ed over.
The House tax of $10O on brokers
was cut in half by the committee,
which amended the section so the
sale of a stock exchange seat for less
than $4,000 would be exempt from
Federal tax.

POTATO CROP HERE

Jesse Salter, a we'll known farmer
residing a few miles from Americus,
Jrought to the city Saturday a few
freak potatoes raised on a part of
his fine farm, and specimens different
from any ever seen here before. Il
appears that last year Mr. Salter
planted some Irish potatoes on Ger
tain tract of land, this planting be
ny followed with sweet potatoes, the
tubers from this crop developing the
unusual attribute of having the peel
of an Irish potato with the meat of
the sweet potato, although when eaten
he potatoes taste slightly as mix
ture of the two varieties might. Sew

by Mr. Salter, who exhibited them to

news agency, has circulated Frank
furter Ze1tung dispatch from Berlin
stating that the German reply tt

government today.
The newspaper understands that

The Frankfort Gazette announces

Ed AT ABILITY OF MILITARY

SAVANNAH, Ga, Oct. 12.-Thous-
ands of Savannah people watched the
aviators from Americus flying field
give an exhibition of their skill in the
air yesterday when they drove their
great biplanes through the sky above
the city. out over the river at Port
Wentworth, and back again to the
Park Extension for acrobatic feats of
thrilling kind.
Only two of the four birdmen in the
party, three officers and a sergeant,
took the flying machines out yester-
day morning. They were nearly an
hour behind schedule, starting from
the flying field at 1915 o'clock in
stead of at 11:3O at announced and
their flight above the city lasted lit

Rogers, second lieutenant and officer
in charge of flying, and Capt. G. A
Sheedy, chief engineer officer of the
Americus field, piloted the airplanes
They flew above the business section
of the city, at times as high as 5000
to 1000 feet. and dropped Liberty
bomb leaflets. This part of their PEI
formance was little disappointing to
the Liberty Loan officers as large
number of these bombs" had been
printed and, owing to the fact that
neither pilot carried a passenger, they
found it impossible to take more than
a few hundred leaflets, as many as
they could slip into their pockets.
These were soon exhausted
The aviators flew up the river over
the industrial plants and over the
country in the neighborhood of Pooler.
Returning to the city they few over
the business streets once more and
from Liberty street on followed some
fancy feats above Madison Square.
Just over the fountain in Forsyth
Park one of the aviators gave nine
loops, to the great excitement of the
people watching below. Their prin-
cipal performance was over Forsyth
Park where they gave tail spins,
whirls, loops, nose dives, and spec
tacular feats of various kinds before
they flew back at / 80 o'clock to their
landing field on the golf course.
The visitors lunched at the Ogle
thorpe Club, w Dewey Cooke having
charge of their entertainment. Mr..
Cooke was appointed by the Liberty
Loan committee of which J. Pearce
Wheless is chairman to look after the
part. 1t was through the special eff

city bond salesmen committee for the

stimulate interest in the loan. The

NE YORK, Oct 12.-(Compiled
from news dispatches during the day.
Tile German lines along the Suippe
river, in the Champagne sector in
France, have collapsed. Progress
made by the French during the past
day iii this part of the battlefront
would seem to indicate that the en-
emy's retreat northward is more OF
a flight than an orderly retirement
French forces are reported to have
reached the Reitourne river between
Houdilecourt and Sault Ste Remy
Houdilecourt is less than four miles
east of Neufchatel, one Of the prin-
cipal German bases back of the Cham
pagne front
This advance brings the french up
70 within two and one half miles of
the Aisne river and threatens the rail-
road line that parallels that stream.
Further east. the French have not adj
vanced so swiftly but have made good
progress.
Near the Argonne forest, General
Gouraud's men have swept north
ward and are officially reported to
be less than two miles from Vouzi-
eres, an important railroad junction.
They are near Sugny, and have al
most reached Machault

SECRETARY HIRAM l.. GARDNER
ISSUES CALL AND MEMBERS
WILL ASSEMBLE AT KIMBALI
HOUSE.-PERSONNEL OF NEW
COMMITTEES is EXCEPTIONALLY
STRONG.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct PA call was
issued at 8 o'clock last night by
Hiram l.. Gardner, secretary of the
state democratic executive committee,
calling that body in session next
Tuesday, October Is, in the assembly
hall of the Kimball house, Atlanta, at
II o'clock, for the adoption of rules
to hear the three pending election
contests and for any other business
presented to the meeting.
The executive committee, ii is relia-
bly, understood, as whole, will not
pass on the three election contests
filed. nor will they all be referred to
one committee The understanding is
that a separate subcommittee of five
will be appointed on each of the cases
and action of these subcommittee
will be final.
From Irwin county a contest is on
between Messrs- Tankersley and Hen
derson for a seat in the house of rep
resentatives.
From the second state senatorial
district in contest between J. p,
Brown, of Toombs county, and H. H.
Elders, of Tattnall county. The fight
on that will be heated
Probably the most important of the
three cases is that from the Atlanta
circuit superior court, in which it will
be decided whether or not Judge Ben
Hill will be given recount to finally
determine whether or not Judge John
Humphreys has really won the race.
The election was declared in favor of
Humphreys by the Fulton county COM
mittee a recount was asked by Judge
Hill and declined by the county com
mittee. That, too. will be strongly
contested fight.
It has lately been reported that
Thomas e. Watson had forwarded
his papers in the Tenth congressional
district fight, to the state executive
committee, and would continue his
contest before that body. The detail
ed list of the three contests reported
by the secretary as pending for action
by the committee does not include the
Watson case.
