the Stroller in the Portland Express,
in which the proprietor lost a num-

eel that had been left there to be

owner Of the shop went to see his
lawyer.
Am I liable for the suits Of
clothes that were burned? ?" he asked
the young attorney.
NO, you are not" was the reply.
II just asked the question" re-

| Cotton rose another cent to a cent
and an eighth Thursday as a result
Of continued unfavorable crop re-
ports. Spots were quoted in Ameri-
Gus at IS ga cents for good mid
ding. The rise was sensational dur
ing the day, going up by leaps and
| bounds on the New York exchange
and holding steadily most of the day.
The high point of the day reached on
futures was 1904 for October deliv-
, cry, New York exchange quotation.
Receipts were heavier today than
previously this week.
The national weather crop bulle-
tin for the weekly says weevils con-
tinued to impede the crops progress,
decreasing only slightly 'in Texas,
while in South Carolina, where the
condition Of the plants was reported
excellent, the pest prevented fruit
ing.
Because Of the heat and drought,
cotton deteriorated in most of Texas
and Oklahoma, according to reports
and the plants made slow growth and
development in most Central and
Eastern districts. In Tennessee,
Northeastern Arkansas and South
ern North Carolina, development
ranged from fair to very good and
the plants were reported shedding
badly in Oklahoma, Texas and parts
of Arkansas.
The bolls are said to be opening
rapidly in the Southern and Western
portions of the belt and prematurely
in many sections. Picking was in
progress during the week in Texas
under ideal conditions.
The general condition of the crop,
the report said, is mostly poor to
fair with only few places that may
be classed as very good.

Negro Tom Tyson Is
Shot BY Negro Boy

Tom Tyson, well known negro lv-
ing short distance beyond the city
limits on the Ellaville road, was shot
and killed Wednesday by George
Ray, a neighboring negro boy living
on the farm of W. P. Wallis. AL
though he said he shot in defense of
himself and his mother, the boy sur
rendered to Sheriff Harvey and is
held pending developments.
Tyson's wife died a few months
ago, leaving him with several small
children. Since then, according to the
boy, he has been a freuuqent and un-
welcome caller at the Ray house, and
often abused and annoyed his moth
er. Wednesday he came there, the
boy said, and was told to leave. In
stead of leaving, he fired pistol
at the boy, a bullet hole in a win
dow sill and an empty shell in Tyson's
pistol bearing out this statement.
Just as Tyson raised his arm to fire
a second time, the boy said, he grab
bed a shot gun and fired, the charge
hitting the intruder in the side and
killing him. A mark on the underside
of Tyson's shirt sleeve, according to
Deputy Sheriff Summers, indicated
he had had his arm raised as the boy
said when he was shot.
Tyson operated a still a few years
ago which the sheriff confiscated.
He pleaded guilty to having liquor,
but a jury later acquitted him on a
charge of making liquor.

CONGRESS TAKES
3O-DAY RECESS
Anti~Beer Bill Runs Into
Hard Luck AT Final
Session

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Sena-
tors and representatives generally
left today for a vacation as result
of the congressman declaring a thir-
ty-day recess just before midnight
last night.
Some, however, will remain for
committee work, particularly the
senate finance committee, which ex-
poets to continue its study of the
permanent tariff bill and take up the
tax rev;1ion measure.
In the Senate the anti-beer bill
was put aside and efforts to make it
unfinished business when the senate
reconyenes were blocked.
President Harding was at the cap
itol late in the evening to complete
the enactment of measures by af-
fixing his signature.
The Senate is expected to resume
work upon reconvening, but Repre-
sentative Mondell, the Republican
leader, obtained an agreement to
have the House declare three-day re-
cesses from September 21 to Oct. 3.
Senators opposing the anti-beer
bill because of the provision which
would subject all of a mans property
except his home to search for liquor
without warrant, saw no hope of a
vote and had laid it aside.
Objection by Democrats prevented
Senate consideration of bill passed
by the House imposing a duty of 80
per cent on war supplies sold by the
government in France and shipped
back to this country.

vided $185,G13,OOO for the air
services. And it is from these ap-
preparations in aircraft designed
and built since 1918, that Uncle
Sans present aviation forces have
been developed.
Of all the varied types of army
planes attempted during the war
period, only one is retained today as
of any value. That is the De Havi-
land A. But even that has been radi-
| cally changed in construction and is
now listed as DH-4B. In the navy
| the chief strength lies in F-5Ls, 816s,
/ HSBs, NCc and Martin bombers.
Of modern, dependable types rat
ed fit for immediate type service the
navy outstrirs the army. The army

planes in storage, in unknown and
questionable condition.
Of the 5000 planes now owned by
the army, more than 1000 are
stored. Of the thousand-odd planes
in service or ready for service, 245
are of the most modern types of
pursuit, scouting, bombing and com
bat planes. Orders are now out
StdIulHg lOf o40 OtnefS.
The navy has a total Of 1450 air
planes and flying boats, of some 20
different types.
In addition to these heavier-than-
air craft, she has the great $4,000
600 ZR-2, Uncle Sans first rigid
dirigible, which is ready for her
flight home from England, where she
was built. A sister ship, the ZR-1, is
under construction at Lakehurst,

and 60 observation balloons. The ar

Marines Planes.
Supplementing these air forces is
the Marine Corps flying force, with
III planes. They're all over the
map, with II planes in Guam, Is in
San Domingo, IA in Haiti, 16 in the
Philippines, and the remaining Sc,
including the larger number of train
ing planes, in the United States,
mostly at Quantico, Va.
And back of these, as a communi-
cations aid in time of trouble, are the
220 planes of the air-mail service,
of which, however, only 65 are in
commissiin.
Summarized, Uncle Sans air
force shows a total of 10,781 planes;
1868 flying officers and pilots and
20,923 non-flying enlisted and civil
ian personnel.
England and France both maintain
stronger air forces than ours.
England's possessions, however,
are so scattered that the force she
could muster at one time in one
place would be greatly restricted. Of
her % service squadrOns, for in
stance, six are maintained in Egypt,
five in Mesopotamia, eight in India,
one on the Rhine, one at Malta and
three have been kept in Ireland.
France leads all nations in the
number of skilled aviators, having
no less than $4,000 licensed pilots.
Her present strength in aircraft is
unknown here, but at the signing OF
the armistice she had 10000 air
planes, 100 hydroplanes and 10000
airplane motors. Her airplane ln-
dustry is subsidized and has been
maintained in going condition.
Japan has been increasing her All
strength, but to what limits other
nations have been unable to learn.
She has no less than 80 British
and 60 French flying experts under
contract to teach aviation to the
japanese armv. And 1000 German
airplane experts have been hired TO
assist Japan's Airplane building
labors.
