SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Seventy
years ago W. B. Brown piloted an
emigrant train from Missouri to Cal
ifornia. 1t took four months and
he walked every step of the way.
When the United States army
truck train reached California on it's
transcontinet1tal test trip, September
6, the ninety four-year-o pilot was
at the wheel of the head truck. He
had Joined the motor voyagers at
what is now Carson City, New, but
what in the early days of the wagon
trail was only one of million SIM
liar sites along the old emigrant
trail.
THE only things that looked ia
miliar," says Brown, were the
mountain ranges and the beans. We
ate beans in 40 and we ate them
again on the motor truck trip de
luxe"
Where Brown, three-quarters of a
century ago, saw Indian tepees as
the only sign of human habitation,
he now directed the army train past
prosperous ranches, villages and
bustling towns. On the edge of beau
tiful streams and lakes where he had
camped for the night in pioneer days
he found modern summer resorts.
In former wilderness stretches he
saw clearings with neat homes and
pastures stocked with cattle. Fruit
orchards had been planted along the
route, and there were miles and miles

ILLITERACY FIGHT
BEGINS IN STATE;
BRITAIN REPORTS

Active operations by the iIliteraGy
commission, appointed under authori-
ty of the last legislature, have al
ready begun in several counties of
Georgia, according to M. L. Britain,
state superintendent of education,
who has returned from a trip
through a group of counties in the
southern part of the state. Glasses
for adults have already been estab-
lished in many counties and the
work of organizing similar classes
throughout the state is progressing
satisfactorily, says Mr.. Britain.
The five supervisors comprising
the commission have been given as
s1stants in order that the organiza-
ton of these adult schools may be
accelerated as much as possible.
County superintendents of education
and boards of education are being
urged by Mr. Britain to give their
best cooperation to the illiteracy
commission in it's effort to reduce
the percentage of illiteracy in the
state of Georgia.

ATLiNT TO FIGHT
To RETAIN CAMPS
GORDON AND JE:SUP

Immediate action will be taken by
Atlanta to prevent, if possible. the
abandonment and sale of Camp Cor
don and the radical curtailment of
operations at Camp Jesup, both of,
which contingencies are believed to
be imminent if congress approves the
report of the house military SUBJ
committee, which is expected to sub
init it's findings soon in the form or
recommendations.
The subcommittee. accompanied
by Lieutenant General Robert l.,
Billiard and several high officers of
the general staff, has just completed
an inspection of Camps Gordon,
Jesup, Bragg and Benning. The
party visited Atlanta last week, in
vestigating conditions at Camps
Gordon and Jesup. The officials had
previously visited Camp Bragg, at
Fayetteville, n. c., and from Atlanta
when to Columbus, Ga, for the Camp
Benning inspection.
Press dispatches from Washington
indicate that the subcommittee,
which was appointed to. submit rec
concentrations as to the disposition
of the four camps mentioned in view
of the various permanent military
policies now unQ6r cOnSluCrdIlOu,
will make it's final, report on Wed
nesday afternoon to the full military
affairs committee of the house. While
no official statement has been issued
by members of the subcommittee it
is understood that the report will
urge the abandonment and sale of
Camp Gordon and the abandonment
or radical curtailment of operations
at Camp Jesup, the, great repair de-
pot of the motor transport corps for
the southeast. It is also understood
that the report will recommend the
permanent maintenance of Camp Ben
ming and Camp Bragg as infantry
and field artillery training camps.
Wednesday noon a telegram was
received by the chamber Of com
.merce frmo Senator Hoke smith,
saving that the subcommittee had
not yet reported. He also promised
TO keep the chamber informed eI
every development. kilograms had
been sent to Senators Smith and
Harris as well as to the members
of the Georgia delegation urging
them to do all in their power 10
retain Camps Jesup and Gordon as
nermanent establishments.

Statement Declares That
Spinners of England and
Germany Must Have Sta
pie and viii Pay 40 Cents

The American Cotton association,
through it's finance committee, has
issued statement urging the
farmers to hold their cotton for the
minimum price recently decided upon
at the cotton conference at New Or
leans, and not to place it upon the
market as soon as ginned, thus add
ing to the present depression. The
statement follows
1.-The American Cotton association
urges the farmers of all the cotton
states to continue to stand by the
prices named at the New Orleans
convention on September . The
price fixed was thirty-six cents for
September, with sliding scale of
half a cent increase each month I'M
til the price of 40 cents is reached in
May. This price was agreed upon
after much discussion and is recog-
nized all over the country as con-
sentative price, in fact, low price
"At the price, the spinners can
operate their mills and make a tre-
mendous profit No spinner has yet
complained that the price was too
high. The farmers, however, are
asking the spinners to take affirma-
tive action and declare that the price
is fair one and that they will help
maintain 1t.
"The price of cotton today at forty
cents per pound il a low price con-
sidering the cost of production. For
ty cents a pound for cotton is low
price, according to the selling price
nf HnftnT fn1a ". n O.
ured in the value of cotton goods is
intrinsically worth more than fifty
cents per pound.
There is no denial of the fact that
cotton at forty cents per pound is
the cheapest commodity that is be-
ing sold today in the worlds mar
kets. Let the farmers not be de-
ceived by the tremendous amount of
propaganda that is being circulated
in reference to the lack of credit in
Europe. They can rest assured that
there will be no idle spindles in Eu-
rope. The American spinners are
prospecting almost beyond calcula-
ton. The European spinners will not
stay out of the game.
1.-The industrial agent of the Unit
ed States government stationed in
London has just wired his depart
ment at Washington that he has
made a full investigation and that
the British mills have not enough
cotton on hand to last them two
weeks. England will buy cotton, and
she will be glad to buy it at the
price named in New Orleans. She
will not allow her mills to stand
idle and lose her trade. Germany is
ready to buy cotton, Her mills are
intact. She is ready to buy several
million bales.
"In the meantime, the American
mills are not idle. Manufacturers
are unable to supply the trade with
cotton goods. Cotton goods are adj
vancing steadily every day. There is
no reason why cotton should have
declined $40 bale. It could not
have declined on account Of the cot
ton goods market. It could not
have declined on account of the pros
pect Of a bumper crop, for this is
not so. A great surprise is in store

MURDER MYSTERY
BATTLES POLICE
OF WASHINGTON

WAsHINGTON.-A ySung Viz
ginian, brutally murdered in 8
dark basement only q good stones
throw from the White House, is
providing the nations capital with
the first absorbing murder mystery
it has had in many months.
His body found in a heap of litter
and trash by an electric meter
reader, was the only evidence OF d
tragedy which the police so far have
been unable to unraYel.
The murdered man was Emmett
r. Wood of Charlottesville, Va, and
he was a clerk in a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
chain drug store. A plot to steal
drugs for addicts, driven to despera-
ton when deprived of their dope"
gambling quarrel, trouble over a
woman, robbery, and revenge are
among the motives on which the po-
lice have been working.
Last Thursday afternoon while
thousands of people were hurrying
along f street, the principal bust
ness thoroughfare in the uptown
business section, young Wood was
being murdered thirty Feet down
under the sidewalk. His head was
crushed in with a piece of pipe, his
pockets were turned inside out and
a sum of money he was known to
possess was missing. The murderer
made his escape UP a freight ele-
vator which has a door opening on
the busy sidewalk above and when
he left the scene of his crime he
must have touched elbows with hun
dreds of people. Twenty-one hours
later, the electric meter-reader pick
ing his way through the basement
by the dim light Of an electric
torch, stumbled over the body.
Detectives who took up the search
for the criminal found a spiders
web of evidence pointing in all
directions.
The police admit they are not
making much progress toward a
solution of the mystery

u. S. Marine Says That Fate and Moro Love
Have Turned Him Into Sultan With 40 Wives

years ago he was sent to the south
ern Philippines, where he spent more
than two years tanning the MoroS.
Like most marines, "Bob's' gentle
ness attracted wide attention, and,
having acquired d speaking knowl-
edge of the native language, he be-
came friendly with the sultans of
the various islands.
The sultan of a small island off
the coast of Borneo became especial
ly interested in Sergeant Bob" and
having nthing else to do one day
officially adopted him as his son as
a means of. expressing his Moro af-
lection. Bob" had no particular
dislike to being a sultan's son, and
made the most of it while he remain
ed in Llang-Llang, accepting the
motherly affection of the sultan's
forty wives, who also collectively
had adopted him. .- d.
Back in the United States once
more, Sergeant gea Bob almost forgot
not until a few days ago that a
mysterious person approached him
and whispered into his ear that the
old sultan was dead
"But what of it?" inquired Bob
That's Just it," Sontinued the in
heir. You fall heir to all his DO

Bob" says he pinched himself to
make sure he was not dreaming, and
found he was very much awake.
Since that memorable afternoon he
has been tryingto decide what to
do-whether to quit marining it and
HE back to his forty wives and Hit
tie island or just stick to his old
job. He is still thinking hard, and
hos arrived at but one conclusion,
and that is that he will not re-en1ist

ton of the crop has been very rapid.
1t is doubtful if ten million bales
are produced. This will not supply
the needs Of the world.
Cotton farmers should not be de-
