$1,000 PROFIT MADE ON A
FARM IN FIVE MONTHS TIME
Pulaski County Man Makes Big Crop
and Sells Farm at Large Margin.

HAWKINSVILLE. - Last March
w. R. Barlow bought 2O21a acres of
land which was sold by the estate OF
the late Charles Mullis for the price
of $1,000. Today Mr. Barlow sold
the same land to party of Laurens
county for the consideration of $1O,-
600 cash, or at a profit of $4,000 on
his deal within five months.
This deal shows how the people
over the state are coming to learn of
the value of Pulaski county lands
also how they are increasing in value.
Mr.. Barlow will also reap good
crop from these lands this year, which
will add much to his investment.
The place is situated five miles
from Hawkinsville on the Hawkins
vile and Eastman road.

PAGES BILL FOR STATE
BUDGET BOARD is TABLED
Spirited Opposition to Measure Was
Cause of That Action.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A bill by Mr..
Pace, of Sumter county, creating a
state budget commission to fix all APP
preparations made by the state and
providing that a two-t thirds vote of
either house of the assembly be nee
essary to increase any of its appro-
protions was tabled by its friends in
the house when spirited opposition
was brought to bear against it.
Mr.. Pace declared that for the last
three years the state had appropriate
ed from half to one million dol
lars more than its income, and is now
bordering on the verge Of bankrupt
cy. He urged the financial affairs be
placed on a systematic basis.

Returning travellers confirm all the
reports that have been drifting hither
regarding the endless inadequacies Of
travel in all parts of Europe, including
Great Britain. An official just back
from London states that the Briti-h
rail ways are losing $500, 000, 900 an
nually, which is W. and One-hslfiimes
as much ss the railroads In the United
States, with five times the mileage. cost
the Government and their stockholders
last year! The burden is thought to be
very heavy upon Americans; but Brit
ons, with little more than half our pop
ulation, are bearing their load without
murmuring.
In this connection "disclosures'
made by former chief of the Railroad
Administration, William 6. McAdoo at
a Biltmore Hotel dinner on Saturday
evening, are intensely interesting. For
the fret time the truth about the des-
perate condition of the Allies in Fen
ruary, 1918, is made known. Messages
from the premiers Of the three Powers
received in that month stated that the
deficit in bread cereals among the Allied
nations equaled 900, 900 tons! This was
due somewhat to submarine destruc-
ton, but especially to the congestion on
American railroads, lack Of coal and
cars and the exceptionally severe Win
ter of 1917-1S. In explicit language,
the message of the Prime Ministers
declared that 1.-THE dearth of wheat,
with the effect such conditions would
produce upon the morale of the army
and civilians, is the gravest danger
threatening the Allied nations OF Eu-
rope''. The italian army was especially
suffering from short rations!
Mr.. McAdoo explained that the only
way to get the imperatively needed food
supplies to the Atlantic seaboard was
to employ the most drastic methods
ever known In the history OF American
railroading, namely, to rush all empty
cars from the East to the grain centers
at express speed, absolutely without
regard to expense or interference with
civilian passenger travel. This. had to
be done without checking the move
ments of troops!
Great as is the heresy in ~railroading
to haul empties when they can be
loaded, time could not be spared in the
East to fill the cars with abundance of
freight that was at hand! The DOM
este of this country had to
be arrested in order to save the situation.
The cooperation ofthe regional railroad
directors was prompt. Within amontb
the crisis had ceased to exist.
This energy in Mr.. McAdoo's opinion,
saved the Allies and America! One
thought and one only inspired every
act, namely, to win the war against the
Huns. The deficit of 5000, 900, 900 in
railroad operating expenses for the year
1918 represents the difference between
defeat and victory 1t was worth the
money, for at the date of signing the
armistice the Government of the United
States was spending $50, DOC, 900 daily
and the deficit represents only three and
one third days outlay.
American energy probably shortened
the wal by months.
Foodstuffs were delivered at Atlantic
ports in such vast quantities that ap-
peals had to be made to the Allies fol
more ships. Great as was the incon'
venience experienced by domestic COM

Recurring to the wisdom of American
travellers keeping out of Europe for at
least a year, and either seeing their
v country or crossing the Pacific to
Hawaii, Japan, China aHd4ndis q few
of the after-war annoyances may be
NORTHUMBERLAND only few Passports
are demanded everywhere, because
travellers are under suspicion. AL
though Americans may possess SUI
mcient Influence" to secure q in this
country detentions begin the moment
one leaves the steamer. 1t is practically
impossible to obtain a passport to go
from France to England, or vice versa,
unless one is on official business.
To get iuto the recent war zone is al
most out of the question. About once
a week a party Of Americans is made
up at the Embassy to visit Chateau
Thierry, but the membership is rest
ricted to the smallest limits, French
guards accompany the sightseers IN
the plea that thousands of ploded
shells and many mined roads are to be
encountered. This caution is really
justified.
In England the labor situation is a
cause of much anxiety. Domestic
service has practically ceased to exist.
More than 100000 people are accept
ing out-of-door relief, averaging S. per
week, rather than go to work. or these
won't works" 400, DOC are women who
left domestic service for munition fact
cries and are now out Of jobs. They
prefer to be idle rather than take up
their former lives. The situation in
England is about the same as in Eas-
tern cities of the United States, where
some servants have developed into in
tolerable "profiteers, " not to say "black-
mailers." They are not only demanding
to be housed, fed and paid more than
twice what they received four years ago,
but they insist on all manner of "privi-
leges", including company" aud graf.
uiiies.
I have spoken about passport and the
ceRseless surveillance to which strangers
, are subjected, but 1 am assured thai
even a Frenchman must obtain O
special permit to buy a railway ticket.
Americans going to the Riviera must
take a certain train, run especially fol
their use. They cannot travel on 9
French train, unless they have a per

AT the hotels In south of France
cities, prices are as high as in the
Capital, while the fare Is generally
much worse. We In New York who
think 81 or So ample for a dinner woulc
have to pay twice as much in Paris
Clothing and haberdashery is cheapeI

Inspectors at the New York Custom
house tell me their work is very easy OF

Sandlot Chatter.

The title series Of amateur base
ball in the District will start Sat
urday when the War Risk team
plays Southern. in the opening game
of the post season series. Just
which team will win the champion
ship is in doubt although War Risk
and Naval Operations have the edge
on the other two entries.
Charley Plunkett, Tommy Crooke
and Buck Sterzer are three old
timers who have refused to give
way to the youngsters. They ap-
pear to have no trouble keeping
step with the younger generation.
Changing his style Of batting
seems to have helped Snyder, of the
hitting of late has been the feature
Of his teams playing.
From all reports Naval Opera
tions will be a badly crippled club
in the coming post season games.
Hager, Morris, Houlihan and one or
two others are on the hospital list
Fisher. who pitches for several
teams in the District, has about the
most deceptive motion of any
twirler in this vicinity. A game
seldom goes by without him catch
ing three or four men off the first
sack.
The latest thing in amateur
baseball Is putting the umpire out
of the game. This was done in a
recent amateur game when the ar
biter's decisions did not please the
manager OF the clubs that had hired
him.

Notes of the Battle.

Walter Johnson was confined to
his room at a hotel suffering from
malaria and a bad cold. A report
was banded about the Chicago loop
that Walter had broken an arm.
Like the death of Mark Twain, it
proved to be highly exaggerated.
Eddie Charity continued to bat
we'll against the Chlca goans. The
first time up he got a single off
Weaver's shins and strolled in this
fourth.
Milan and Shanks should have
played safe on the paths. Zeb hit
terrific triple to the fence in the
first inning but was nailed at the
plate. Shanks lined q double to the
fence in left center in the second
frame but was out trying to stretch
It into a triple, Felsch to Risberg
to Weaver. Howard should have re-
mained at second and the Nationals
might have scored a flock of runs
instead of one.
Nick Altrock continued to en-
tertain the Chicago fans. Nick may
not draw a prima donna salary but
he earns his ham and eggs in Chi
cago alone.
Judges bum hand bothered him
and Joe Leonard went to first base
in the fifth inning.
