HARRIS SEEKS UNIFORM
PRICES FOR GASOLINE

ATLANTA, Sept 18-Georgia s
interest in cheaper gasoline, at least,
uniform prices, has shown itself in
two amendments to the land leasing
bill, introduced by United States Sen
ator William J. Harris, of Georgia,
and adopted by the senate. The house
committee, according to reports re-
ceived in Atlanta, has the bill before
it and it is expected that the junior
senator from Georgia will appear in
behalf of his amendments
Senator Harris has ascertained that
gasoline at time has sold in Georgia
from three to five cents higher than
in Illinois and Indiana, and his
amendments are intended to bring
about an equalization of prices and
give the Southern states equal rights.
These amendments together with the
recent Harris resolution under which
the Federal Trade Commission is in
vestigating alleged discrimination in
prices against Southern hogs and cat
tie in favor of other sections, has at
tracted statewide attention.

INTEREST AT VALDOSTA
DISAPPOINTS BOARD

Capt John A Cobb, member Of the
state board of entomology, has re-
turned from Valdosta where last
Tuesday the board conducted test
and demonstration of the many va
rieties of implements for the apply
ing of calcium arsenate to Gotten for
eradication of boil weevil He was
much disappointed because of the
apparent lack of interest.
"In spite of this being one of the
hest advertised exhibits the state has
ever seen" said Captain Cobb, "and
despite the fact that it was of vital
interest to every farmer in the South,
only eleven counties in Georgia were
represented. l was the only man pres
ent from Sumter county. No organ
ization has done more to help the
farmers than the state board of ento-
mology, but it looks like their efforts
are almost wholly dnappreciated.
The members of this board are just
men. and like other men, when their
efforts are appreciated they like to
have some demonstration Of it. The
interest evidenced by the public in
the Valdosta demonstration was most
discouraging to the board"

CAMP
TO Be FINEST IN
HISTORY OFVETS

ATLANTA, eSpt. l8.-Construc-
tion OF the big encampment where
the Contederat veterans will gath
er for their reunion In Atlanta Oc-
tober 7-10, will begin next week at
Piedmont Park, where several acres
of beautiful greensward have been
set aside for the purpose.
According to advance anr0unce-
ments, the camp will be the finest
ever enjoyed by the veterans at any
of their reunions. This has been
made possible by reason of a resolu-
ton passed unanimously by congress
granting to the veterans the use of
tents, cots, blankets and camp equip
ment such as cooking utensils, knives
forks and plates
All of this property is now in At
lanta at a government warehouse
and will be turned over for the re-
union as soon the resolution is trans
mitted to the war department and
orders are issued to the local depot
quartermaSter.
Tents will be pitched at Piedmont
/ Park capable of housing about ten
thousand veterans, with only three
or four men in each big circular tent.
They will have cots and plenty of
blankets for the cool autumn nights.
On one side of the camp will be the
gigantic commissary where gallons
of coffee, tons of beef, great piles of
bread and other food will be served.
The entire camp will be just
bivouac as the old veterans were
used to back in the sixties, save that
it will be the last word in comfort
for a camp and be so cared for with
medical attention and in other ways
that none of the veterans will suf-
fer any hardships.
A feature. of the camp will be the
bonfres which will be lighted every
night. Around them will gather the
old veterans and while their flames
light the countryside for miles
around, the old men will see in the
blaze the scenes of long ago and
will swap yarns with one another
of brave fighting times.
Indications increase thai the At
lanta reunion will be attended by
the greatest throngs of people that
ever went to a Confederate reunion.
Thousands of people are applying for
nrtifcates that give them a rate on
the railroads. of only one cent a mile,
provided they are the relative of
Confederate, be the veteran living
or dead.

WILSON ASKED
TOCALL COTTON
CREDITS MEETING

ATLANTA, Sept. 18.-President
Wilson last night was asked by J.
S. Wannamaker, rresident of the
American Cotton Association, acting
in behalf of the association, with

that now exist both in Europe and
America; further, Gnat they may
agree upon plans for the purpose Of

lion dollars, which she cannot pay
with work impossible, we are not
even able to furnish her with raw
materials in order chat she may be-
gin laying us, and in spite of the i'm
perative need of America to Euro
pean markets for raw materials free
commerce with Europe is impossible.
Commerce must be open to the mar
