SAVANNAH STILL GETS HER
SUPPLY OF INTOXICANTS

Atlanta, Ga, June 27.-Members of
the legislature from Chatham and
adjoining counties when "joshingly"
asked by their fellow lawmakers con-
corning the status of the supply of
blind tiger liquor in Savannah have
replied with the information that the
supply is plentiful or scarce in direct
relation to the activity of the sub
marine chasers in chasing submarines
or chasing liquor boats.
When the submarine chasers are
chasing submarines, it seems, the liq-
uor boats manage to run the block
ade and furnish reasonably adequate
supply of blind tiger liquor for alb
solute necessities in case of sickness,
snake bite, etc, but when the sub
marine chasers are chasing liquor
boats, the supply runs very low and a
man finds it very hard to get for any
sort of price.
Hence it has been suggested that
perhaps the appearance of German
submarines off the American coast,
which makes it necessary for the SUBJ
marine chasers to devote their atten-
ton to submarines exclusively, may
bring some relief to the parching cit
liens in Georgia coast towns.

FINAL HEARING OF PETITION

Atlanta, Ga, June 27.-The Rail
road Commission today began its f.
nal hearing of arguments in the pc
tltion OF the Georgia Railway & Pow
or Company of this city for increased
rates. 1t was expected that the argu-
ments would consume two days. AT
te this both sides will be allowed
1--WE days in which to file reply briefs.
The power company has submitted
facts and figures to the Railroad COM
mission showing that the tremendous
ly increased cost of labor, materials,
equipment, and all other things enter
ing into the public service have made
it absolutely necessary to increase
rates in order to pay the cost of op-
Grafton. The company's petition is
opposed by committee of Atlantians
stvling themselves the peoples COM
mittee.
A good deal of speculation is going
the rounds concerning Professor E.
w. bem1s, rate expert and auditor
employed by the peoples committee.
Although his feet is said to be about
500 day, and although he stayed
here ten days, the committee did not
put him up to testify, which has given
rise to the question whether he found
that the company's petition was justi-
ned or whether he failed to get his
fee.

Exports of Oats

The extent to which the United

wheat substitutes is shown by a sum-
mary of oat and corn exports an.

Administration. More than 100000
600 bushels of oats and oatmeal were
exported by this country from July l.

amount more than 100000 bushels

WEATHER REPORT

Atlanta, Ga, June 27.-During the
past week showers fell in good
many northern and southern counties.
but in much of the central portion of
the State the dry weather is becoming
generally injurious to crops. The Sc
we're wind storm that occurred in
Georgia Monday afternoon, June II,
is found to have done considerable
damage to peaches. Cotton is now
very diversified; poor condition is re-
ported by several crop correspondents
in the southern division, and blowing
up and planting over to other crops
is reported by few; the boil weevil
is doing much damage in the South.
Generally, especially in the central
northern divisions, cotton is doing
well, and is blooming freely. Some
grass is reported, but the crop as a
rule is clean and wei cultivated. Low
land corn is doing well, upland needs
rain in many counties; laying by con-
tlnues; bud worms are doing damage
in some places. Tobacco seems to be
a fine crop, and is being gathered.
Setting sweet potatoes continues; a
large crop has been planted and the
vines are running we'll Field peas
beans, and Spanish peanuts are being
planted extensively after oats. Pea
nuts, sorghum, rice, and other minor
crops are doing fairly we'll. Peanuts
are blooming and sorghum heading.
Gardens generally need rain; toma-
toes are ripening. Early peaches are
about harvested and the late crop is
beginning to ripen, with indications
that shipments will begin in 10 days.
The watermelon season has begun
in South Georgia.; cantaloupes are al
ready being SHIPPED. Farm work is
fairly well advanced except in places
where there has been too much rain,
but as rule there is not much grass
in crops at present

Refund Ordered On Cotton Seed

Under an order issued by DR.. A. M
Soule. federal food administrator, to
all local administrators and all buyers
of cotTap seed in Georgia, notice is
given THAT refunds are to be made
to farmers in this state in cases where
too great deductions were made by
buyers in the purchase of cotton seed
onder certain conditions, and ernpha.
Dis is laid on the policy that all cot.
ton seed should be paid for at full
value, with warning to buyers
against taking any advantage of open.
ings to buy seed below their value.
The order is as follows:
"The weather conditions of last sea-
son resulted in the production of some
damaged seed, or seed producing less
than the official yields. These seed
were purchased at less than the stabil-
lied price.
st is now brought to our attention
that in a number of instances the de-
auctions or dockage has been exces-
sive. We have found it necessary in
certain cases to order refund of such
amounts as were deducted in excess of
the proper value of the seed
1--WE would suggest that all buyers
who found it necessary to make deduc-
lions during the past season shall now
review such deductions and satisfy
themselves that they were fair as
based upon the experience of working
the seed. If, upon investigation, it is
found that an injustice has been done,
we urge that voluntary refund be
made to the shipper in advance of any
action that may be taken by the food
administration.

against the time when many men still
engaged in farming may be called into
the army and other war work.
The Importance of this reserve was
indicated by cable recently received
from the British ministry of food, ask
ing that America continue to send all
the food that can be given shipping
space, to build up like reserve in
Britain against possible lean years
to come. With this demand, it is i'm
possible for the United States, even in
the face Of good crop, to go back
in any way to pre-war habits of eat
ing and wasting.
A total wheat yield of 931, 600, 600
bushels is indicated in the recent De-
partment Of Agriculture forecast, based
on conditions June /. The winter
wheat estimate is 587.000,000 bushels,
or 100000 more than the December
forecast. The spring wheat yield is
estimated at 344,000,00O bushels. The
total of the two will be an increase
of 122,000,000, or 1872. over the aver
age crop FOR the years 1912 to 1915,
and jump Of 2S0,000,000 bushels, or
1870, over last years yield.
The oats crop is estimated at L.
SOC, 100000 bushels, which is $1,000
600 bushels less than was harvested
last year, but 204,OOO.O00 bushels more
than the average crop. Record crops
of barley and rye are indicated in
estimates of 235,O00,0O0, and 81
100000 bushels, respectively. The hay
crop is expected to be larger than last
year, although the acreage 69,531 900.

Serious Sugar Losses

The submarine depredations of the
Atlantic coast early in June resulted
in the loss of 1884 tons of sugar from
Cuba and Porto Rico. This represents
nearly one-f1fth Of the total weekly
consumption of sugar in the United
States, and is more than the recent
total sugar allowance of Great Britain
for jam making this year
Although the cargoes were fully COW

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE WINS
TRIUMPHANT VICTORY

Atlanta, Ga, June 27.-The Anti
Saloon League of Georgia won a tri-
umphant victory yesterday in the rat
ihcation by the Georgia legislature of
the prohibition amendment to the
federal constitution, which was pass
ed by the national congress several
months ago and submitted to the leg
islatures of the several states for rat
ifcation.
The Senate ratified the amendment
in fifteen minutes after being called
to order, with only two dissenting
votes, and the House later in the day
concurred in the Senate's action, al
though the action of the House was
not so speedy as that of the Senate.
owing to the opposition of Joe Hill
Hall of Bibb and Spencer R. Akin
son, of Fulton, who delayed the &C
ton of the House on a technicalitv
and then spoke against the ratifca-
ton. The House finally adopted the
Senate resolution by vote of 12o to
"a.
The action of the legislature, which
was thus accomplished on the very
first day of the session, will now go
to the governor, who will formally
notify the Secretary of State in Wash
ington, the President of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House, and
furnish them with certified copies of
the action of the Georgia House and
Senate. The action does not require

FRAMING UP AGAINST
UNSUSPECTING BASS
Local Fishermen Plan Club with
Prizes for the Biggest Fish
This Year

Local baitcasters are to have
a chance to pick off some prizes
this year for the big ones they
tell about all winter. A bunch
of the nuts" have dubbed to-
gether, each chipping in half a
dollar with which to buy a prize.
This prize will be a rod, which
the Kennewick Hardware COM
pany has promised at wholesale
price. The value of the wand will
depend upon the number who
care to enter. Thus, if twenty
enter, the rod will be one that
costs $40 wholesale which will
be some rod!
Besides this first prize, the
Kennewick Hardware company
has put up a second prize OF 80
worth of tackle, any selection.
And to keep the interest right up
they have also offered a monthly
prize of one artificial lure OF any
selection, valued up to $1.00, and
Joe Martin has come thru with
a second monthly prize of a
shave and a hair cut. This con-
test begins the first of April, the
opening of the season; and runs
until August first, four months.
These prizes will be given for
the largest bass caught in bait
casting, and the contest is open
to all who contribute fifty cents
before the opening of the season.
Entrance fees may be left at the
Martin barber shop or at this
office.
Bass fishing, however, will not
hold the entire interest of the
fishermen this season, as several
are equipping themselves to go
after salmon with rod and reel.
The greatest fishing sport in the
world is had on the lower Co

caught here if the fisherman
knows how to go about it. Al
any rate, as soon as they begin
