Prior to the meeting with the gov
ernor, other meetings of party chiefs
were held and means to avert calling
the special session considered. The
idea of holding the special session
after election was abandoned when
it was understood that the present
| legislature would end with the cleo

It is also understood that State
Auditor KLAUS would not consent 10

! he had made several months ago thai
| he will discontinue payment of lnstu-
| tional bills when their funds are eA-
| hausted.
The matter of amending the tax
| law in accordance with the tax plank
| in the Republican state platform was
| discussed at length with the governof
1t is understood that Mr.. WasmutA
and Mr., McCray opposed entering into
this delicate subject at a special SEES
sion and were of the opinion that Ii
would be much better to delay the
| question until the regular 1921 SEES
| sion.
One OF the objections that is pens
made to changing the tax law at this
time is that the local and state tax
ing officials are right in the midst OF
the 1920 work and that any change
authorized by the legislature at this
time would be extremely confusing.
The tax plank promises 10 amend
the tax law by returning to the loca
| communities all control over tax lev
les and bond issues. When 1t became
evident yesterday that the session was
assured, the tax law question was
one of the paramount isues.

the great market places on the wa
terfront are practically deserted.
Before the war Hamburg had become
one of Europe's chief coffee mar
kets. Now only a few sacks of that
staple find their way here.
While Hamburg was losing it's
glory as a port, death was taking a
heavy toll of the so-caued 'royal
heads" of the big German companies,
including Albert Balm, president of
the Hamburg-American line and the
brothers Adolph and Edward Woer-
mann, who guided the affairs of the
Woermann Indian and African lines.
"Africa House," the scene of their
labors, was the nerve center of Ger
many's vast colonial trade. 1t stands
today a silent memorial of German
imperialism.
Germany" he said "is more close
1y united today than ever before.
This means that Hamburg must work
not only for itself but for all Ger
many as we'll. Until the country as
whole begins to get back on its
feet, Hamburg's progress toward re-
covery must be SLOW"
At the moment, unemployment is
a grave problem here. Between 80,
900 and $4,000 workers are unem-
ployed and Hamburg is spending
more 100000 marks a week in do
nations to them. Labor here is gen.
orally disconnected and strikes are
frequent.

Is Malaria Sapping Your
Strength And
Vitality

Physicians claim that malaria is
the cause of more disease than any
malady known-chils and fever, ma
larial fever, bilious fever, loss of ap-
petite and energy, drowsiness, etc.
If malaria (chills and fever) is
keeping you down get bottle of Am
eco and begin taking right now.
Ameco is better than quinine for
malaria, chills and fever.
Ameco kills the malaria germ.
A few doses break the fever, and
when taken as tonic, the fever will
not return.
That dreaded chill day disappears
from the moment you begin taking
Ameco.
Ameco will also cure any ordinary
cold in "a hours.
Contains no harmful drugs and is
fine for children.
Get a bottle of Ameco Chill and
Fever Tonic from your druggist for
35c. and if not satisfied with results,
he will refund your money.-(adv)

Baby's Food.

The high mortality of infants lone
ont of three) is due very largely to
the fact that the baby cannot select
its own food, as does the adult, but
must take what is given it. Often the
food is inferior in quality. or even
positively poisonius.,
How can the mother tell whether
the baby's food is right!
One way is to watch the actions:
IF thew are regular and natural and
the babv is gaining in weight, the
food is all right. Constipation and
diarrhoea both indicate indigestion
and should have immediate atten-
ton.
To correct indigestion and regu-
late the stomach and bowels the papy
specialists have perfected a gentie
laxative and regulator called BABY
Ease" laxative. which the mother
NAV obtain, with full directions, az
any drug store. Baby Ease is an
invaluable aid to the baby's nealtn,
and no mother should be without II
for emergencies. 800
Do not use the strong and irrltat-
ing laxatives such as are commonly
used. nor anything containing oplaIes
or powerful drugs. They lrrltate tne
delicate organs and lead to chronic
indigestion and constipation. BABY
Ease" laxative is a corrective and
regulator as well as gentle Taxa
tive, and will promptly and permra-
nently correct indigestion, conc,
diarrhoea and constipation The
mother should then look carefully
to the purity, freshness and whole
someness of the baby's food, the
cleanliness of the bottles, etc.. and
should consult the physician II the
child does not steadily gain in weight

GERMANY AGAIN
HAVEN OF SHIPS
But Flags of Other Ma.
tons Predominant in
Harbors Now

HAMBURG, Aug. 19-In one day
last week % steamers passed Cux-
haven on the way to Hamburg or
to enter the Kiel canal. This was
the largests number of ships to come
into the Elbe in "a hours since the
early days of the war, and the event
was hailed with intense satisfaction
here as a sign of better times. Five
years ago it was dull day when on
ly a score of vessels arrived. The
Hamburg-American line alone usu-
ally had from 25 to 80 big ships in
port and the harbor was so crowded
with shipping that the problem of
docking often became acute.
In those days few flags other than
those of the German companies were
seen in harbor. Today Hamburg is
literally under foreign colors. Ship
ping companies of all the principal
nations have set up offices here
and the formerly powerful German
lines, having lost their ships, are act
ing now only as agents. American,
British, Japanese, French, Italian,
Spanish, Dutch and Brazilian COM
panies display their advertisements
in the shipping papers. Advertise
ments of German concerns are so
few that one must search for them.
There is some life again in the
harbor but the ships are nearly all
foreign. One passes long rows of
splendidly equipped docks and ware
houses, once a hive of industry but
now empty and still. And in the alb
sence of the many ships that used tt
make Hamburg thriving CONNER
cial center, trade has died away anC

and which has the distinction of be-
ing the final bill to pass the house
before the filibuster against the ap-
preparations was begun on the final
day of the session.
The most important feature of the
bill which is entirely confined to
amendments to the general Banking
Bill passed in 1919 is the clause
which clearly sets forth the right of
state chartered banks to make an ex-
change charge of one-eighth of one
per cent on all out of town cash
items. 1t also sets the minimum such
charge for any check at ten cents.
This clause was passed without
change and with virtually no oppo-
sition. 1t was backed by Safe Super
intendent of Banking L. R. Bennett.

FARMERS Won
TO PASTURACE'
.Thomasville Demonstra-
ton Proves Revela-
ton to Sumter Men

That permanent pastures can be
grown successfully in South Geor-
gia was demonstrated Tuesday to a
group of Sumter county farmers who
attended the pasturage meeting at
Thomasville, conducted by experts
from the state agriculture. They
came back, every one declaring that
he would sow certain amount of
permanent pasturage at the next
seeding time. Those making the trip
were DR., ]. c. Berry, DR.. E. L. Thur
man, E. L. Jennings, Oscar Williams,
C. C. Hawkins, W. ]. Josey, W. H.
Emmett and R. S. Pryor, with Geo.
o. Marshall, county farm agent, in
charge of the party.
"The trip and the experience
was a revelation to all of u.s." said
Mr.. Marshall. eve saw 240 acres of
fine pasture of E. E. Mack's farm
and 200 acres of D. J. Renfroe's
place, planted to carpet grass, Dali
las grass and Lespedeza. The two
former grasses do better on damp
soil, and the Lespedeza on upland.
These pastures, we found, are now
grazing as many animals per acre
ao Vic HIlC0G PeNobNAOo ~ - $500 -,
or any other grass country The
cattle have been exclusively on pas
turage in some places for three
months, and are fat and fine.
"These men who made the trip are
going to plant permanent pastures
here, and will buy comparatively
this fall the necessary seed. If any
other men want to try permanent
pasturage, I will be glad to have
them let me know what kind OF SEED
and how much they will need and l
will help get it for them. / will also
be glad to go to their places and ad-
wise them on the selection of soil,
etc, SO as to get the best results.
There is much we don't know yet
about permanent pastures for this
section, but there is lot, also, that
we do know, and it will pay to take
advantage of what we have learned"

MUSIC AND PICTURES

We have been wondering when theatre man in this city will get it thru their learned CD heads that the folks of this city WANT real mus ic and REAL pictures?
 In New York and other centers the theatre goers demanded REAL music and they got it and paid no more for a ticket than they did before the in novation.
 Putting real music to g. picture in theatre where a good picture is playing is a real innovation
 When a man pays for a pound of sugar he gets a bag to hold the precious dust' and he also gets a piece of string around the bag.
 When a man pays for a ticket to a show he should DEMAND all that is coming to him and the wise show man gives it to him and a little bit more. This sort of a show man can then use as his slogan "Our Best is A Little Bit Better Then What You Have Already Accepted As the Best

WEST END

In his newest motion picture, Heart Strings which is to be shown for the first time here at the West End theatre tonight, William Farnurn will be seen in the role of a violin vir"tuoso,- the central figure of a remarkable story of devotion and sacrifice. The photoplay has been given a most effective production by William Fox, and the star is support ed by a company of distinction. As many of the scenes are laid in the Laurentiam Valley of quaint Quebec, m unusual touch in atmosphere is given.
 MT. Farnum in this production adds a most lovab1e character to the ex- 3ensive gallery of his screen creations. IN is the role of a young musician wAo. when just at the threshold of artistic fame, sacrifices all for love of his sister
 The story. in it's unfolding, is re- plete with dramatic incidents, giving this great actor wide play not only for the tenderest of all emotions, but also for a vfrile. manly portrayal of the big brother who. turning upon those who have wrcnged one he adores, tights as only a real man can fight whose muscles are used for the right
 In wonderful contrast to his sen tfnenta1 scenes with the sister, MT Farnum's character work in this picture reaches unusual heights giv- ing the story great force.
