1t was announced yesterday that the forthcoming is
sue of the Literary Digest would be printed from plates
made by photographng pages of typewriting. 1t he's
long been known that this was printing possibility
and in small way has been put to practical tests Now
thanks to the strike in the printing trades in New York
the whole country going to be given opportunity TO
see how it would like typewriter magazine. Tue 9th
er day when the British railway unions set out TO take
the country by the throat they found that they had
looked and gasoline driven trucks and that oversight
proved disastrous to them If they compelled to do
all magazine could adopt the expedient being
poyed by the Literary Digest and in time many of the
strikers who sought to seize control of the printing in
dustry in the countrys greatest city would find them
selves permanently out of jobs

CORDELE SOLICITOR LOSES
FIRST ROUND IN FEE FIGHT

CORDELE, June 20.-Judge y. L.
Cover rendered a decision yesterday
which sustains the act abolishing the
fee system for the solicitor general
in the Cordele circuit and gives the
victory to the county commissioners
in their defense fight against Solici-
tor General ]. B. Wall. The solicit
tor general had entered suit for
certain alleged fees which he claimed
Crisp county owes him under the old
fee system.
The commissioners claim that the
county is working under the salary
basis and is no longer bound to the
solicitor general for fees.
This is only the first stage of the
suit, it being understood that the
case will be taken up to the higher
courts and there fought out with a
view of determining whether the act
is constitutional. Should Solicitor
General Wall win, this would result
in a general reversal of conditions in
other counties of the state where
for solicitors have been sub
stituted for the old fee system.

SOUTHER DEAL
TO Be CLOSED,
ELLIS BELIEVES

Col. G. R. Ellis returned this
morning from Washington where he
stopped over early in the week on
his way from New York to investi-
gate the status of Souther Field site
by the government, which while be-
ing delayed is endangered by the
movement in congress to prohibit the
further purchase of real estate by the
secretary of war.
Mr.. Ellis was of the opinion today
that the transaction covering the
purchase of Souther Field will be
closed up at once.
Il went before the officer of the
war department who passes on the.
.bstracts and Deeds" said he, "and
we reached an agreement as to how
the deed should be drawn, and
promised to have that deed in his
hands by next Monday morning. l
believe it will be quickly approved
and the transaction closed.
"The abstract for the property has
been in the hands of the department
for three months, and has not yet
been passed upon, for some reason
which | could not learn, but Judge
Crisp and Colonel James Furlow got
onto the job, and we secured a prom
Use to have report made on this
abstract this week. That will clear
the way for the acceptance of the
deed and the drawing of the warrant
for the payment of the $4,000 pur-
chase money.
Il found in Washington a spirit of
bitter politics, and this blow at tile
camps is largely one of politics. The
republicans appear to be anxious to
draw sectional lines and even matters
up for what they consider has been
favoritism shown the South under
the democratic administration, with
the South in the saddle. There ap-
pears disposition to make the South
pay whenever it can be done. An
example of this is the program for
a high tariff on potash, which is
mostly used in the South. 1t looks
now like tariff of $40 per ton
would be put on potash importations
which, of course means that the South
will have to pay it."

TO ASK
100000 OFU.S.
PAVING AID NOW

In preparation for the July APP
portionment of federal aid by the
state highway commission. Hawkins
and Thomas, the engineers in charge
of Sumter county's highway project,
are completing the preliminary sur
vey of the Dixie Highway, north from
Americas to Andersonville. Joe Haw-
kins, one of the members of the firm,
and a native of Americas, is on the
job with crew of five surveyors. The
survey through to Andersonville has
been completed and the making of
the cross section observations is in
progress. The completion of the sur
vey work on this one project will re-
quire another ten days. After that
the engineers will wait until it is
seen how much federal aid Sumter
county will get at the coming appor-
tionment by the state highway COM
mission, so they may determine how
much road building may be under
taken this year.
r. l.. Maynard, county attorney,
who was in Atlanta early this week,
called at the office of the state engi-
neer, where he discussed the coming
apportionment meeting, but without
learning much more than the date.
'This meeting will be held July
49," he said. "At that time some ST.
100000 of federal aid will be dis
tributed among the counties that have
qualified for it. Since Sumter coun-
tvs bond election large number of
counties have voted road bonds on the
federal aid plan, until the applica-
tons greatly exceed the amount to be
apportioned.
Sumter county is going to that
meeting with strong showing to be
given at least 100000. We believe
that we are entitled to this amount
to get our project well under way,
for the reason that we were the sec
ond county since the last apportion-
ment to qualify. We went ahead in
good faith when the state highway
officials were urging counties to get
busy so that Georgia's share would
be used instead of list forever to the
state, and voted bonds, just as had
been suggested, being assured that we
would get the money. We believe
those counties first to act should have
their needs taken care of first, and
that will be our contention before the
highway commission. We believe that
is the fair way, and the only fair way,
for without adequate apportionments
aone of the counties can make much
of showing on their programs"
I'VE are going to 40 all IN our
power-and are already doing to
get a generous apportionment for
Sumter county, said Joe Hawkins,
Of the engineering firm. Our hands
are tied to large degree until the
money is divided so that we will
know just how much Sumter county
will have to spend this year on the
road project and consequently how
much construction can be paid for. 1t
would be advisable for Sumter coun-
ty to send a large delegation of lead
ing citizens to the state highway
meeting at which the funds will be
allotted, and also to designate the
best speaker or pleader you have to
appear before the commission and
present Sumter county's case"

PICK UP SQUARES
TO CURB WEEVIL,
MARSHALL URGES

Swat the boil weevil now, is the
warning sent out today to farmers
of Sumter county by George 0. Mar
shall, county farm demonstration
agent. Although the time has pass
ed for effective picking of the insects
from the cotton stalks, Mr.. Marshall
points out the necessity Of other
methods of curbing the pest. Pick
irr up and burning the failing
squares is urged as one of the most
effective measures to be taken at
this time. The squares contain the
weevil eggs, and, if allowed to re-
main on the ground, will hatch the
eggs and greatly increase the num-
Der of weevils. The following
statement was issued today by Mr.
Marshall:
sa"More boil weevils are making
their appearance in Sumter county
this spring than any previous yeal
since the pest has been here. 1t
seems without a doubt that the farm
ers will experience greater loss
this year than ever before. Prac-
tically every field in the county is
infested, and the infestitation seems
very evenly distributed.

is pust, but there remain some other
things to be done. Cotton should be
