.ROASTS LAWMAKERS
FOR TAXING BIBLES

Following the passage of the new
tax revenue bill by the senate, Rev.
j. w. Ham, Pastor of the Baptist Tab
ernacle, launched emphatic criticism
of the Georgia legislature last night
because a tax is imposed on the sale
of Bibles.
He declared that the bill is rocking
with pro-Germanism, pro-Austriaism,
and pro-protestantism in that it sup
ports the attitude of those two coun-
tries in a campaign against the in
fluence of the Bible. He quoted the
lines touching upon the sale of the
Bible, showing that a tax is imposed
upon every peddler for stoves or rang
es, or clocks, or bibles or albums or
albums and picture frames. the
amount being 5000 for every county
wherein the agents operate.
He compares the amount of the tax
with the much lower ones imposed ON
fortune tellers, dance halls, loan
sharks, horse traders, junk dealers,
book agents and others, stating that
the highest tax for these is placed at
$25, while sellers of bibles are taxed
5000.
Mr.. Ham declared that the Bible is
needed now in Georgia more than at
any other time in the world and that
to curb its sale by legislative action
will be blot upon the state.

lTHE NEW WAISTS COAT,

The bingham waistcoat made a ten
tative start for popularity, but was
soon running down the track at full
speed. All the younger set are wear
ing these waistcoats. the shops show
them at different prices and they
make an alluring grouping of color in
the windows.
They have started the fashion for a
great variety of skeleton waistcoats
that are worn instead of collars. Many
are high necked, other have long
sloping, double breasted revers. They
are less trouble to adjust in blouse
or coat than collar, for they have
their own fastening and are kept
down at the waist by an elastic band.

for these waistcoats, but checked

Rupert Blue, surgeon general United
States health service; H. P. Dawson,
war council American Red Cross, and
DR.. Franklin Martin, general medical
board Council of National Defense, the
following appeal has been made to the
young women of America.
ACROSS the sea, from France, with
every closing day of the heroic strug-
gle of our fighting men, there comes a,
more imperative call to the women of
America to assume their full share of
responsibility in winning this world
war for the right Of men, women and
nations to live their own lives and de-
termine their own fortunes.
There exists now an extreme need
for at least $4,000 women of character,
intelligence and education to fill the
gaps in our hospital staffs caused by
the calling of many thousands of skill
ed nurses to fighting front.
There is only one way to fill these
gaps: By keeping our hospital train
ing schools supplied with students
who are not only preparing for service
aboard and at the end of their course
and at the same time are equiping
themselves to earn their living in
one of the noblest of professions. but
are from the very outset of their, cour
Sc serving their country as we'll as
learning.
Young women show your colors by en-
rolling in the students nurse reserve.
Recruiting stations are now open at
the following places.

Miss Atkins as recruiting officer.
Carnegie Liberty Misses Carswell
and Bercaw, as recruiting officers;
Court House, with Miss McDonold

WORLD WILL NEED MORE
COTTON THAN THE SUPPLY
PREVENTATIVE HELM, OF
ALABAMA COMPLIES SOME
INTERESTING FIGURES
ON CROP

Washington, July 2S.-Representa-
tive Heflin, of Alabama, member of
the committee on agriculture, has been
gathering information from the cot
en- belt as to cotton crop prospects
and cost of cotton production. He
gave out the following statement to-
day:
"The amount of cotton on hand in
the United States August 1, 1917, was
2, 2,18O bales. The amount of cot
ton produced in 1917, 11,248,242 bales,
making a total of 13,720,442 bales of
cotton inland in the United States.
Take from this amount II PA, AIT bales
the amount consumed and exported
by August 1, 1918, and you have 2,47S,-
GAS bales on hand in the United States,
just 6,765 bales more than we had on
hand August 1, 1917. This includes
repacks and dog tail cotton.
Therefore aobut 100000 bags of re-
packs, cotton accounted for once, to
be eliminated from the cotton supply
as now counted and about 100000
bales of dog tail cotton, Cotton which
should not be counted at all in the sup
ply of spinable cotton, Take this
amount of 100000 bales from 2,47S,-
495 bales of cotton on hand August 1,
1918, and you have 1,72S,945 bales of
real cotton in the United States Aug.
1, 1918.
The crop yill not be more than L.
100000 bales larger than the year 1917
making a total of 12,548,OOO bales. Add
1,738,945 bales, the amount on hand
August 1, 1918 and wewill have a sup
ply of 13,276,945 bales of cotton for
the crop year of 1918.
" We will have consumed and eX-
ported by August 1, 1918, 11,341,477
bales and if we should consume and
export for the next twelve months
no more than this amount we would
have on hand August 1, 1919, Just
936,49S bales, which will be 792,447
bales less than we have on hand Aug.
l, this year.
1.-THE cotton mills of the United Sta
les, it is estimated will consume $780,
900 more bales of this crop than of the
1917 cotton crop and the short crop in
Europe will cause the foreign spinners
to need more American cotton than
we can spare from the 1918 crop.
The chairman of the shipping
board has assured us that ships will
be furnished to carry all the cotton
that the Allies need. The Allies will
need more than 5000, 900 bales of Amer
lean cotton. repeat what said in a
former statement, the world will need
more American cotton than we can
supply.
THE cost Of labor, of live stock, of
fertilizers. of everything that goes in
to the cost of cotton production, make
it absolutely necessary for the pro-
Queer to receive at least 80 cents per
pound. The producers, merchants and
the bankers of the south can and will

it isn't the fault of the sages who make
our proverbs. This Is time when we
ought to think thrice instead of twice
before we do anything. OF course, we
shouldn't think more than once before
we give what we can in the form OF
time, money or energy to war work.
And there are obviously other things
that we needn't think about any more
than usual But when it comes to buy
ing clothes we ought to think three
times-once for the present and twice Tor
the future. We ought to buy nothing
now that cannot serve its full period OF
usefulness.
When the war first began there were
some well-meant but ill-advised attempts
to urge clothes economy. That was no
lime for women to buy fewer clothes
than they needed. Since then. there has
been an adjustment of labor in many
places, and moreover the demands put
Upon the clothing trades by the govern
ment are so large that there may be
some difficulty in supplying all the
clothes that the rest of us will need.
Hence a little clothes economy is forced
upon u.s. More than that wool is scarce
and is more in demand than ever before.
Hence the conservation frocks which
have been designed on Dotn SIDES OF the
Atlantic-frocks requiring minimum
amount of WOOL
These are the reasons why it is a really
patriotic duty to think three times be-
fore you buy your clothes. The time has
not yet come when we should refrain
from buying as many clothes as we can
afford, but we should buy them all with
an idea of making them pay their cost
For instance. when you buy sweater be
sure that it is color that Will harmon
ize with some of your summer frocks, so
that you will not commit the crime OF
buying a sweater that you can wear only
three or four times in the season. And
go on the same basis when you buy
hats or any other accessories of dress
Remember that rose color hat at S.
an orange sweater at seven and a green
satin sport skirt at six are eXtravagant
whereas black hat at $10 white silk
sport skirt at twelve and one of the new
khaki or gray sweaters at any price yor
wish to pay would be an economy, fol
you would be quite sure to find them
wearable until they were worn to shreds
