Ben Hill Sheriff Gets
Warming To Oqit County

FITZGERALD, August 5-Sheriff
L. H. Dorminey, Of Ben Hill county,
the chief center of attack by strikers
and strike sympathizers in his effort
to preserve law and order since thes
calling of the strike on the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad
last March, and who met with re-
sistance when he attempted to dis
arm certain strike members recent
ly, Thursday received an anonymous
letter through the mails, giving him
"twenty-four hours to yacate your
office and be safe 20 20 where you
will" He says he will disregard the
warning.
The note concluded by saying:
"What ever will happen will be done
in crowd. We never expect to find
you in the woods"
The note, ii is believed general-
ly here, is the result of a so-called
business meeting held here Wednes-
day night at the Ben Hill court house
and attended by strikers and their
families, and strike sympathizers.
The galleries were crowded with me-
groes.
AT the meeting violent verbal at
tacks were made against Sheriff Dor
miney and members Of the Citizens
Committee, appointed by committee
of one hundred leading men of this
city and county to give counsel and
aid to the sheriff. The appointment
of this committee, it. is said, was en-
tirely unsatisfactory with the strik-
ing element
At the meeting O. D. German,
striking official Of Atlanta, addressed
the crowd, saying that he had failed
to reach any agreement between the
strikers, the sheriff and the citizens
committee and that he intended to re-
turn 10 Atlanta and let the strikers
| fight it out among themselves.

Manager Form For

ATLANTA, August 5.-.A meas
ure by Representative Ellis, of Moul-
trie, designed to establish manager
form of government in each county
in Georgia will not be acted upon
at this session, for the senate tabled
the bill yesterday after a long de
bate.
There is much interest in the bill
in Dougherty county. Should the
measure have passed, the system of
electing the county board of com
missioners in this county would have
been inaugurated and saved the intro
duction of local bill to bring about
the change.
Senator Fleming stated this after
noon that he would not introdue the
local bill this summer, because of the
short time remaining and ruling
that no more local bills may be in
troduced.

Report Bellies Stories OF Famine and Plague
NOT SCINTILLA OF
TRUTH FOUND By
INVESTIGATION
Health hQa:;cers OF South
AT Washington Draft
Findings

WASHINGTON, August 5. tBy
Associated Press.) Denial that
there is a Condition approaching
famine or plague in the South was
made today in a report unanimously
adopted by the health officers from
a dozen Southern states in conference
here with Surgeon General Cumming.
of the Public Health Service to dis
cuss the pellagra situation.
The report emphasized the necessi-
ty of affording federal, state and
local health agencies sufficient funds
to cope with health conditions gem
orally
After brisk discussion the state-
ment that eve do not regard the sit
uation in any sense as more serious
at present than during the past
several years" was eliminated from
the committee report.
DR.. James Hayne, South Carolina
health commissioner, said before the
report was issued that it would
hold that there twas not
scintilla of truth in the charges that
near-famine exists in the South on
that pellagra has increased there to
any appreciable extent"
DR.. j. A. Hayne reported that IN
Ibis state the first six months of 1920
there were ITO cases of pellagra, IN
1921, 865 cases.
DR.. S. w. Welch, of Alabama, re-
ported Ia cases last year, with no
doctor reporting, and LA cases this
year, with 900 doctors reporting.
DR.. M. r. Haygood, of Georgia, re-
ported 1913 deaths in 1920, as against
| 1876 in 1921. The 1920 death rate
was Is per 100000; the 1921 rate,
I13.4.
The health officers admit q normal
increase in pellagra, but deny thai
there is necessity for special drive
which would necessitate the with
drawal of appropriations from the so
i luton of malaria and hookworm, de-
clared to be the real problems of the
South
i Hookworm shows greater in
; crease, it was argued, than pellagra.
The cases in Alabama last year num-
bered 28; this year, 2,347; while the
/ remarkable increase is due to more
doctors reports. The real increase is
distressingly large, DR.. WEIGH stated
1t was added that relatively identical
conditions prevail in all Southern
states, and that in comparison pella-
gra is a minor matter.

ARTISTS

Busy In This Section Die
posing Of Govern
ment Dodges

Look out for the bunco artist. Bet
ter see the local Dodge Bros. dealers
before you put up any cash for a
new Dodge automobile, said to be on
sale at Charleston and Atlanta by
the government, for $500 or $500, as
the case may be.
Various rumors have come to Tur-
pin G Sheffield, local Dodge car
agents, and to the Times-Recorder,
that efforts have been made and are
being made to take orders in Sumter
county for these cars.
AS the stories go, a prospect is
approached and told that he may Sc
cure a new Dodge car, with extra
tire, for 5000 or $500; that the gov.
ernment will only allot so many car;
to the county and that all but one
or two have been taken.
Reports from all over Georgia hav,
reached Washington that the govern
ment was selling these new Dodge
cars at ridiculously low prices. Some

Senator Harris. He referred tht
matter to General Rodgers, and the
quartermaster replied as follows tc
the senator's inquiries:
There are persistent rumors go
ing around that the government is
disposing of new Dodge cars. This
rumor is without foundation, as We
have no new cars in the army and
at the present time there are nc
passenger carrying vehicles for sale
Vehicles, which have been sold to
the public, We're sold at auction t.
the highest bidder and were in ar
unserviceable condition"
1t was stated in Americus today
that two or three men had already
gone to Atlanta to purchase these
cars; it was also said shat severa
men had been approached at Plain:
and some of them had "bit." though
this rumor could not be substantial
ed. Others are said to have beer
told that when Sumter; quota haC
been exhausted cars could be gottei
by using the name Of another coun
ty. So far as the local Dodge deal
ers can find out, there is absolute
ly nothing to the rumors, and it look
very much like bunco artists are il
the neighborhood.

CHURCH STREET
PAVING STRIKES
SNAC ON PROFIT
Council DELAYS Action z
Weeks On Protests
On Commission

The proposed paving on East
Church street is "up in the air" again.
The city council met Thursday night,
heard protests on the plans to pro-
ceed at once and requests for a few
months delay until prices OF ma
terial went down and property own
ers could accumulate the funds with
which to pay for it outright instead
of standing the expense Of "financ-
ing" it at Is per cent in addition
to the per cent interest on Fl fas,
and also received a petition from a
majority of the property owners to
proceed at once lest materials ad-
Vance in price and wipe out the pos
Ssible saving of interest and commits
sions. 1t then voted to- postpone all
action on the ordinance ordering the
work until the next regular meeting,
which will be August 1S. Aldermen
Taylor and Burke were absent from
the meeting.
The matter was not debated by
members of the council, but brief
expressions revealed difference of
opinion on the issue among the mem
bers, an unusual circumstance in this
hody which usually is in unanimity.
Alderman Poole expressed himself as
favorable to postponement of the
paving, as requested by some If the
property owners; and moved for de-
lay in consideration of the ordinance
until the next meeting. Alderman
Allison declared the people had clam
ored for the paving, and now that a
plan had been evolved whereby it
could be done they were objecting.
Calls for Consistency.
81 don't know how / am going to
pay for my share of this work. eth
err" said Mr.. Allison, who resides or
/ the street 20 be paved "but we've got
to be optimists instead of pessimistS
ito get anywherel We say that cot
ton is going up and then we CONS
up here and say that cement ano
other materials are going down II
price. How in the name of common
sense can we have cotton going w
and other commodities going down
] in price? 1t isn't sensible"
The storm broke over the fact that
the city would be unable of itself
to finance the buying of paving ma
terials, and that the best offer OBJ
/ tanned for financing was that of the
| Americus Construction company
, through George d. McNeill who
agreed to handle the whole project
on basis of actual cost plus 15 pei
cent, accepting fl fas bearing Z per
cent at the end of 80 days for the
work until paid for at that time by
the property owners. His proposal
embraced either furnishing the ma
terials himself or allowing the city
to buy it and paying the bills as they
came in.
Wright Protests.
w. c. Wright, on the side of the
interested property owners, objected
to the payment of any commissions
He said he signed the paving petition
with the understanding that the city
was to buy the materials itself ant
the property owners to reinmburs'
the city, thus getting the materials a
actual cost. He also requested al
extension of time until spring, de
ciarlng that material was declining

BIG INTERESTS
FIGHT FORDFOR
MUSCLE SHOALS
Water-Po Power, Munitions
And Fertilizer Mag
mates Oppose Plan
BY HARRY HUNT

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Lines
are being drawn for a concerted at
tack by water-power, munitions and
fertilizer interests on the proposal
by Henry Ford to take over the gov
ernment's $85, 100000 power and nj
trate development at Muscle Shoals,
Ala.
The real interests principally CON
cerned in the fight will not appear
in the open. Their immediate effort
will be to block the Ford proposal
by convincing Congress-:
FIRST. That the cost of compIet-
ing the Wilson dam and Dam No.
8 estimated in the Ford offer as $685.
100000, would, instead, be not less
than 53,000,000, which would have
to be borne by the government.
SECOND. That in the face of this
additional heavy expenditure the
government could realize a greater.
return by scrapping the plant than
by completing it and turning it over
to Ford for $5,000,000 and yearly
rental payments of 81 1,680,00O.
THIRD. That the provision for
regulation of profits on fertilizers
produced is misleading and does not
guarantee the production of fertiliz-
ers at all.
FOURTH That the proposed term
of 100 years and the conditions of
renewal would in fact constitute a
grant in perpetuity, which is against
public policy.
Opening Gun.
To sustain these contentious So
called engineering statement" pre-
senting an analysis Of the Ford
offer, has been prepared for submis-
sion to Secretary of War Weeks and
to members of the House and Senate
This report states that the "only
benefit to the government is the
offer to maintain Nitrate Plant No.
2 in shape to produce explosives in
time of war; that the stipulations
covering navigation Of the Tennes-
see and Warrior rivers are not suf-
ficient, in that they provide for
maintenance only; and that in order
to secure down-payment of $5,000,-
900 and the amortization of 40,000,-
900 over a period of 100 years the
government would have to expend
$53, 100000 in addition to the $780,
846,000 already spent on the devel-
opment.
Cheap Power
On the other hand, it is urged,
Ford would secure $4,000 horse
power of energy at cost of 50 per
horsepower per year, whereas the
average cost of steam-power is from
$40 to $12 per horsepower.
The immediate effort of the inter
ests opposed to Ford's acquisition of
the Muscle Shoals property is to dis
credit his offer and to attempt to
put him in the position of having at
tempted to put across a sharp deal
on Uncle Sam.
While the smoke of this battle is
in the eyes of the public and of Con-
gress, they will come across with a
proposition of their own,
The public will do well to watch
Muscle Shoals
Next to the assets of the Shipping
Board, the development there offers
the biggest chance for salvage of any
of our wartime expenditures.
Also, next to the Shipping Boards
assets, it offers The biggest chance
for loot.
