Dixie Highway to be Completed.


The State Highway Commission
has advertised for bids for the COM
pletion of the Dixie Highway, that
portion between the town of Edge
field and the bridge at Reynolds
ford on urkey creek. 1t is hoped
that the commission will put its ma
chinery in high gear and complete
this main thoroughfare as early as
possible. That portion of the high
way north of urkey creek is in splen-
did condition, despite the vTery
heavy rains.
after some members had held that
the legislation as proposed by the
attorney general did not clearly de-
fine what constitutes profteering and
boarding, postponed final action to-
day. A subcommittee was appointed
by Chairman Gronna to confer with
the attorney general on the subject.
Reports to the postoffice depart
ment today, indicated that the war
departments food surplus, which
was offered to consumers yesterday
through the parcel post, was meet,
ing with a ready sale. Assistant
Postmaster General Dockery today
instructed postmasters that no wal
stamp tax was applicable to parcel
post shipments of army foodstuffs
The war department announced
that, due to the recent railroad
strikes. brief delays might be expe.
rienced in the filling of some parcel
post orders through inability to dis.
tribute the supplies to the various de-
pots.

Two Bits of knowledge From Abroad

r" HERE is a clothes dealer In
London who for long
time has made It his speciality
TO purchase snowy costumes and dis
carded uniforms for dispose. in tho
Orient and Africa.
= It is said that even the retiring
Lord Mayors OF London have become
this dealers customers, and that the
cooked hat. gold laced coat and knee
preeches that have formed an inspir-
ing feature of the Lord Mayors pro-
cessons are, as like as not, the next
year to delight the eyes Of darkest
Africa upon the proud person of some
native.
= Amusing comments have been made
by this dealer with reference to the
eagerness with which the native in
the interior OF Africa takes over this
discarded finery. He says that at the
bazaars where his goods are pur-
chased he has seen blacks solemnly
walking around with waistcoats but
toned behind instead Of before. and
men even wearing women's costumes.
Big fellows have been seen In clothes
80 small that one could not imagine
