GOING AFTER COUNTIES
OF HIS OPPONENTS

Atlanta, Ga, June 13.-After care
FULLY canvassing the situation in ev-
cry county in the state, William T..
Harris, candidate for the United
States Senate in opposition to SEN
ator Thomas w. Hardwick, has de-
clded to devote his attention for the
next few weeks to the counties which
heretofore have been conceded to his
opponents or listed in the doubtful
column.
The purpose of this drive is to Sc
cure vindication of President Will
sons administration and war policies
in these doubtful counties, and there
by make a clean sweep of the entire
state, which Mr.. Harris expresses
himself as absolutely confident of
carrying.
A canvass of the counties convinces
Mr.. Harris and his managers that
his candidacy is perfectly safe in
more than rs per cent of the counties,
and ne is gong into the others, as
stated above, to make it a sweeping
victory.
Mr.. Harris declares that he feels
as confident of the result as if the
election had been held and he had
received the nomination. The fact
that Senator Hardwick's home paper,
the Sandersville Progress, has come
out in strong editorial calling on
him to withdraw from the race, is
pointed out by Mr.. Harris and his ad-
visers as an indication of the COM
plete collapse of the Hardwick cam
paign, and the triumphant vindica-
ton of President Wilson.

NAVY MAN INDICTED FOR
BOARDING OF FOOD

Atlanta, Ga, June 14.-OMcial re-
port has been received by DR.. A. NJ
Soule, federal food administrator, that
Medical Director F. p. Nash, U. S.
Navy, and his wife, Caroline R. Nash,
were indicted in the United States
District Court at Washington, D. c.,
for boarding foodstuffs in violation of
the Food Control Act. Investigation
showed that they had stored large
quantities of food-much more than
could possibly be needed for their
household consumption within the
next year.
The Medical Director has admitted
his violation. He said that in 1914
his wife inherited a legacy. With his
knowledge of probably conditions
that would follow prolonged war, he
foresaw a scarcity of food. So since
the outbreak of war he has been in
vesting his own and Mrs. Nash's mo-
ney in foodstufs, storing them in
his house against pssible years of
great food shortage
DR.. Nash endeavored to dispose of
part of his hoard after reading on
the front page of a Washington pa
per warning against boarding, is
sued sometime ago by Mr. Wilson.
HI told Mr. Wilson +ba+ he Iod cont
several barrels of -four to a Wash
ington grocer selling one and in
structing the grocer to hold the re-
mainder until he should give instruct
ions to distribute it among the poor.
When Mr.. Wilson asked for an ex-
PLANTATION, DR.. Nash said he was hold
ing it for charitable purposes. When
asked if he had additional supplies
in his home, DR.. Nash admitted that
he had.

WILL REGULATE SALE OF
WHEAT TO STEAMSHIPS

Atlanta, June 1.-THE Food Ad-
mlnistration has taken steps to pre-
vent steamships clearing from Ameri-
lean ports from taking out of the
country foods that are particularly
needed here for shipment to the AL
lies and our army in Europe, when
those supplies can be obtained in
abundance at foreign ports at which
they touch.
Regulations announced provide that
steamships bound for Uruguay. Ar
gentina, Chile, India or Australia will
be allowed to purchase only sufficient
wheat flour to- maintain supplies for
the initial voyage. That for the re-
turn trip must be bought in those
countries. No ship will be allowed to
make further wheat purchases in the
United States after it has secured
enough for this, first outward voyage.
Ships clearing for Brazil, Uruguay,
Argentina, Chile or Peru will be SIM
llarly. restricted in their purchases OF
beef, pork, mutton, lamb, veal, poul.
try, lard and eggs.
These rulings apply not only to
cargo ships but to all vessels carry
ing passengers, which are required
to buy in foreign ports all supplies
for the round trip, if their refrigerat-
ing capacity allows. In other words
more is expected of refrigerated pas
senger ships than of freighters the
carrying capacity of which depends
largely upon ice for the preservation
of stores.
All ships operating on American
rivers or on the Great Lakes are sub
''sject to regulations as administered by
the Federal Food Administrators of
the various states in which they touch
Regulations effective on land are to
be effective on these vessels, both for
passengers and officers eating in the
main dining rooms. These regulations
do not supersede the standardized
ships menus prepared several months
ago by the Food Administration, CO.
operating with the Department of La
Dor and representatives of the leading
seamen's labor organizations.

WEATHER REPORT

Atlanta, Ga. June 12.-During the
week ending Tuesday, June II, 1918,
local showers occurred throughout
Georgia that were seemingly unus-
ually well distributed; there were very
few places that did not report bene-
fetal local rains The early part of
the week was warm, the latter part
moderately cooler. Crops are now
generally clean and and we'll cultvat-
ed, have much improved during the
past week, and are growing rapidly.
Cotton is blooming freely in the CEN
tral-Southern division of the State,
and is now forming squares in the
northern portion. A considerable
number of crop correspondents are
now reporting the presence of the
boil weevil in the southern section.
Corn is growing rapidly and is ex-
cellent; laying by continues in the
South. The harvest of small grains is
practically over in the lower two
thirds of the State and threshing is
under way, with good results; cutting
winter wheat continues in the north,
but spring oats are somewhat late.
1t appears that the, white potato crop
was unusually good thi syear; set
ting sweet potato plants progressed
rapidly during the week Peanuts
are blooming; cane and rice are
growing nicely. Pastures were re-
freshed by rain. Gardens suffered
considerably from the previous
drought, and some older plants will
not recover much, but otherwise they
have been greatly improved by rain.
Work has generally progressed well,
and at present the agricultural out
look must be considered satisfactory

HAY SHIPMENT TO BE REGu.
LATED; SALES BY
WEIGHT

Atlanta. Ga, June 14.-Lack of uni
formity in the weights of bales will
henceforth disappear with the new
ruling of the United States Food Ad-
mlnlstration, and disputes over ship
ments of hay will be less frequent be-
cause of'the common sense and sim
plicity of the plea The program as
sanctioned by Administrator Hoover
is as follows:
The minimum weight OF bales of
the following hays shall be Is pounds
per bale: Prairie Hay, Meadow Grass
HAY, Timothy Hay, Rhodes Grass
Hay, Johnson Grass Hay, Sudan
Grass Hay, Rice Straw Hay and Dat
Straw Hay.
The minimum weight of the fol-
loving hays shall be 80 pounds per
bale: Alfalfa Hay, Sorghum Hav
Peanut Hay, Peavine Hay, and corn
shucks.
I'm selling hay wholesale, it shall
be sold by the ton. In selling bav
retail, it shall be sold by weight and
not by the bale, regardless of the
weight of the bale.
AL hay should be baled with three
wires to prevent bullying and break
age OF the hay in handling. Especial
ly should this be done where the adj
ded weight of the bale over the
customary weights amounts to rs per
centum Of increase.
"A rigid compliance with these
rules will greatly reduce the number
OF cars necessary for the transporta-
ton of hays. This ruling becomes
effective June 10TH"
