Mushrooms Plentiful.

Mr.. F. A. Taber has discovered that
since the rains last Friday and Satur-
day mushrooms, as good as he ever ate,
have sprung up plentifully in the fields
east and north of the depot. He has
been able to gather more than the fam
lily can eat and they are now canning
them. 1t is a very palatable and nu-
tritlous dish, he says, and they would
bring a good price in a New York
market. He says it is easy to tell the
edible from the poisonous kind but the
poison is sodeadly we would advise those
not familiar with plant to let it severe
ly alone. Several fungi he had doubts
about he gathered and sent to Prof.
Mckay of the A. & NJ. college for iden-
tification.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taber came to Macon
several months ago from Poughkeepsie,

The Influenza Epidemic.

Several cases of the prevailing cpl
demic influenza, has occurred in the
county this week, but so far it has not
become generally prevalent. Mrs Ross

ing contracted it in Memphis. Mr..
Sam Helm has also been i'll several
DR.. Bush says the health board does
not want to put on a general quaran-
tine, but wishes that all those contract
ing the disease would isolate themselves.
The period of incubation is four days
that is all danger of spreading thr dis
ease is over after the disease has left
the patieut four days.
The following is taken State Health
Bulletin, furnished US by DR.. Bush, who
desire the public to take as much pre-
caution as possible to prevent the dis
ease from spreading:
Influenza has a sudden onset and as
a rule a chill, or decided chilly sensa-
tion is the first manifestation, then
fever with temperature, from 100 de-
grees, to 1O3 to 104 degrees, with head
ache md backache, redness and run
nlng eff the eyes, flushed face and pains
all over the body, accompanied by gen.
eral prastration. The throat feels sore,
there is congestion of the pharnyx and
in so e instances. larvngitis and bron-
chitis, In many cases, the fever falls
in three or four days ard the patient
RECEIVERS rapidly ; in others, there is an
irregular temperature which may be
accounted for by bronchitis, broncho-
pneumonia, or by the presence of the
influenza bacillus in the blood.
THE most serious thing about inlu-
enza Is the tendency toward the devel-
opment of fatal complications. as pneu-
monia, OF meningitis. Although the
treatment is simple, because of the
donger of complications it is exceedingly
important that the proper care and
treatment be instituted promptly"

WITH VETS AT TULSA
Confederate Reunion Full of Enthu
siasm-EIection Today,

Tulsa, Okla, Sept. 26.-Most impor-
tant on the program of the Confed-
ate veterans this afternoon is the Sc
lection of the reunion city for the
coming year, and the eelction of a
commander to succeed General Har-
rison. That Gen. K. M. W i Want. of
Fort Worth, will be elected is now a
foregone conclusion. No city has yet
started a spirited campaign for the
reunion.
If anyone believes the war spirit of
the veterans has been subdued, the
belief is an erroneous one. A group
this morning seriously discussed the
question of petitioning President Will
son to let them go to F&ance and
shoulder arms beside the Yanks. How

A. A. Graham, Topeka lawyer, who

file a contest but merely statement
Y til the secretary of state directed to

torney general also holds that this
statement had no standing because it
was not filed within the three-da

holds in the opinion that the fact that
certain newspapers did not rotate the

constitute an irregularity.

Topeka Union Labor VIII Oppose
Hasty Strikes in Future.
At a meeting of the Topeka Indus
trial council in Labor hall Wednesday
night the delegates voted to ratify the
proposition laid before them by J. o.
Stevic, president of the council. to do
away with hastily called strikes. The
gist of the hole plan in regard to the
strike proposition lies in the fact that
from now on locals desiring an ad
justment of differences with their en-
ployers must go to every possible end
to meet the matter thru arbitration
and when all this has failed the strike
order must be sanctioned by the coun-
Gil as a whole before it will have the
backing of the main body of organized
labor.
Other action taken at the meeting
was the endorsement of the strike of
the stage hands in the Crawford thea
ters. 1t was announced that picketing
of the show houses will be started in
a short time and all union men are to
be urged to refuse to attend the shows

LIBERTY LOAN SONG is OUT.
Kansas Women Oiiing Up Their
Threats Ready to Sing 1t,

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 26.- The
fourth liberty loan song, the legitimate
successor to What Are You Going to
Do to Help the Boys?" is out, and
copies of it have been received here
by Mrs HenryA Ware Allen, state
chairman of the women's committee,
who is sending them to members of
her committee turnout the state. The
title of the new song is For Your Boy
and My Boy and it was written by
the composers of the third liberty loan
song.
Liberty loan committees over the
country have discovered that music is
one of the first aids to patriotism and
the community sings which have
taken such a hold on Kansas during
the past year will be converted into
liberty loan meetings during the COM
ing campaign.
A suggested program for these
meetings has been made out by state
headquarters here and sent to county
and district chairmen. Copies of the
new loan song will be sent in addition
to this program, and it is believed that
it will become as popular as it's prede-
cessor.
The words of the chorus are as fol-
lows:
For your boy and my boy,
And all of the boys out there
Let's lend our money to the L. S. A.
And do our share.
Every bond that we are buying
Will help to hold the fighting line
Buy bonds! Buy bonds.

Fourth Liberty Loan
 Here and Elsewhere

1D IRMINGHAM and Jefferson ID county have done well in this fourth Liberty Loan campaign The county's quota will be raised and in spite of the influenza handicap it will probably be oversubscribed. Many liberal investors are increasing their subscriptions, which is the only way that the goal can be passed.
 In the nation at large the results of the campaign are still disappoint- ing, although the reports yesterday showed some improvement The state of Colorado and the city of Denver both announced over the top.
 Subscriptions now total three bill lion dollars-one-half of the amount sought. The other three billions must be raised within four days time. h. tensive work will be necessary, but the people have a way of rising to the occasion when patriotic duty calls. The emergency is great indeed Let it not be said that the people failed to measure fully up in responding to President Wilson's ringing appeal.

War Brought Home
 To German People

HE allies have not yet set foot
 F on German soil, yet the war has been brought home to the Germans in such forceful terms that real fear along with a realization of defeat has dictated their desperate attempts to obtain a peace by compromise.
 We .Te of successful bombing ex- petitions far into Germany. Allied aviators, among them many Ameri- cans in machines made in America and supplied and equipped with Liberty motors, seem able to penetrate what ever air defense Germany is still able to offer almost at will. Certainly there is no diminution in the number of raids or the size of the airfleets crossing the German border
 This rain of death from the skies "a form of warfare in which Germany took the initiative and by her sense less bombing of open towns and cities invited reprisals-is in itself trying on the morale of civilian population. But to make bad matters worse, rail- ways connecting the southern Rhine cities are under the fire of American and French artillery. "A sad awakening for the German people who little real ized when Paris was menaced by Ger man armies that shells would ever fall freely on the sacred soil of the father land.
 Panic and state of nervousness continue in the southern Rhine cities despite the effects of the newspapers, which admonish the people to remain calm" It is not surprising that the pee pie find it difficalt to follow this advice when the allied line in upper Alsace is only about Is miles from the Rhine.

Making Progress
 in Road Building

R0 HHILE road construction is wv necessarily backward, it is to learn, that highway work is now under way in fourteen counties of Alabama involving an ex- penditure of $37O, 721 ,OO0 and total of nearly 104 miles. So reported w. S.; Keller, state highway engineer, to the highway commission at its quar- terly meeting in Montgomery Monday.
 During the quarter state aid work was begun in four counties and fed eral and state aid construction in three counties. Federal aid work was completed in two counties.
 If progress under wartime condi- tions is slow, it is noteworthy fact that all the road building in Alabama is of a high order-far superior to the work done in the past.
 A hard, solid road suitable for heavy motor truck haulage is the only type that should be considered for main lines. The first cost is large compared with the cost of the average good road of several years ago, but'i it pays well in the end. 3 's.
 After the war is over a new move- ment for better roads will be in- augurated in Alabama and in other southern states. The people realize now as never before the value of paved roads and the government will be ready, it is believed, to aid on large scale in the development of great lsystem of freight truck highways. l In the meanwhile Alabama's high way commission can be depended upon to go forward as fast as possible under the circumstances.

TWO FRINGE, MAKES

From the Chattanooga Times.
 There seem to be two German Maxes: one the Prince of Baden and the other Prince of Saxony, and obviously, from recent developments, ex-Ambassador Ge is the new German chancellor, and some of his late utterances-letters and speeches. show that he has very lively contempt for western democracy and re- gards-or rather did regard-the demo- cratization of Germany as an anarchron- to confidential companion in which he was glibly cynical toward our boasted unselfishness and dealiSm, and in that he portrayed the characteristic German moral and mental blemish-1udging other peoples and other governments according to the Germanic measure.
 The other Prince Max is brother of the reigning king of Saxony, and appears to be quite a different person. It is sug- gested that MT. Gerard meant the Max
 of Saxony when he spoke of his being "a very human person" It was this Saxon Max. it appears. who was inter-
 ested with MT. Gerard in reforms at Ger man prison camps. A correspondent in the New York Times is quite sure that it is the Max of Saxony to whom MT. Gerard refers-which will make quite a change among Americans in their esti- mate of the Kaiser's latest selection for carrying out his diplomatic drive for a German peace.
 Prince Max of Saxony is Cstaolic prelate and, of course, he is very d.f- ferent person from that other one, who appears to be very unsuccessful Janker catspaw.
