Georgia Gets Best
of Decision Fixing
S. c. Boundary Line

Washington, Jan. 31-The supreme
court today decided the boundary dis
pute between Georgia and South Car
DINA, holding that where there are
no islands in the Savannah river, the
line shall be midway between the two
states at normal flow stage, and that
where there are islands the line shall
be midway between the islands and
the South Carolina shore. The islands
in the river were awarded to Georgia.
The boundary dispute has prevailed
for over a century. 1t became acute
when the location of hydro power sites
were injected into it.
Georgia claimed the middle of three
rivers-Savannah, Tugaloo and Chat
toga-formed the boundary where
there were no islands in those streams
and that the middle of the stream
between the islands and the South
Carolina shore marked the boundary
in those parts where there are islands
South Carolina claimed that low water
mark on the Georgia side was the
boundary where there are no islands,
and low water mark on the north
shore of the ISLANDS was the boundary
where there are islands, conceding
that the islands belonged to Georgia.

ST. AUGUSTINE GIRL WAS
IN KNICKERBOCKER CRASH

St. Augustine, Jan. 31.-Much an.

Mrs. John T. Dismukes, and her hus.
band, Lieut.. Commanded Zalesky

Great Interest In
Tomorrow's Price
Slash on Dodges
What is the purchase price?

What Is the purchase price?
This slight but important altera-
ton seems to have been made in the
famous slogan spread broadcast by
Dodge Brothers a few months ago.
The change was brought about by the
most persistent epidemic of public
curiosity since the time when Dodge
Brothers first announced that they
were about to market a car and then
refused to tell what kind of car it
was going to be. That was eight
years ago.
Dodge Brothers latest bid for a
complete and exclusive monopoly on
public attention, so far as it pertains
to the automotive industry, came on
january 10, when they announced
that they were about to make a sub
stantial reduction in the price of their
cars and then declined to tell what the
prices would be.
The mere fact that they will not
tell until ebruary l makes everyone
want to know Immediately.
j. B Darby, of Darby & Macdonald
the Dodge Brothers dealers here, were
commenting on the subject today,
somewhat on the order of the forego-
ing paragraphs, when voice on the
telephone inquired, "if there wasn't
chance to get little advance infor-
nation on those prices" There were
good reasons, the voice said, why the
"tip" should be given out in this par
ticular case, land it would be sure to
turn out to your advantage" But the
dealer expressed his regrets and the
voice reluctantly withdrew.
"That is the way it has been going
ever since january H." the dealer
said. 81 never appreciated what an
intense interest there was in Dodge
Brothers Motor Cars until this occur
red. That fellow who just called
probably wanted the information for
some business reason, or maybe for
sheer curiosity. Perhaps he had a
bet up with someone. Anyhow, he
refused to give his name. The great
majority of those who call, however,
leave their names and telephone num-
bers and on February l we are going
to have a special staff busy calling
all these people and giving them the
real news.

THOUSANDE HAVE
KIDNEY TROUBLE AND
NEVER SUSPECT i
Applications for Insurance Often
Rejected

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
lions. The mild and healing influ-
ence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the sub-
Ject, made lthe astonishing state
ment that one reason why so MANY
applicants for insurance are reject
ed is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people. and
the large majority of those whose
applications are declined do not even
suspect that they have the disease
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two
sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binehamton
N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this

Georgia Capitalist
Is Impressed With
Palatka's Future

j. c. Haden, of Atlanta, president
of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
capitalist and big land owner, met
with the directors of the Chamber of
Commerce last night to listen to his
suggestion on establishing more
homes here for substantial northern
homeseekers, not the tHlcan tourist
variety.
Mr.. Haden made advance investi-
cation of freight rates into Palatka,
and said he was astounded at the
splendid advantage enjoyed by this
city. He said that opportunity loafs
around Palatka streets every day,
ready to make the acquaintance of
those who may desire it. owe hear
much about commerce following the
flag" said MIR. Haden, "but commerce
follows the freight rates, according
to the version of James j. He'll, the
cmqueror of the northwest"
Mr.. Haden is very much interested
in a proposition to construct a hun
bred or more houses here for sale or
lease to substantial northern people
who desire to come south. He says
that is the greatest opportunity any
Florsda city has, and that the estab-
fishing of ten good producing fami-
lies in town will do it more good
than a hundred tincan tourists fami-
lies. Mr.. Haden is looking at some
possible sites for an enterprise such
as he described to the governors to-
day.

John Wananaker
Describes Water
Lilies on River

John Wanamaker, who anchored
his handsome yacht off Palatka docks
few days ago while making trip
from Jacksonville to Sanford, con-
tributed an interesting letter to the
New York Herald in which he had the
following to say of the water hya-
cinths which navigators. to a man,
inveigh against:
From Jacksonville on for many
miles there grow what are known as
Water Hyacinths, some of them
blooming, with green rosettes reach
ing up two feet above water.
Whether it was a good wind that
blew blossom, seed or cutting
that took root and grew again, is not
certain, but tradition has it that some
woman introduced these green RATS
of lustrous leaves to beautify the
river. 1t might have been Harriet
Beecher Stowe, who made her winter
home in Jacksonville for 16 years.
They are unattached to the bottom
of the stream and are equipped with
air-filled bulbs that keep them afloat.
One sails through this Hyacinth
garden for hours and hours.
Almost every one can have a little
garden of pictures or plants to bright
en- and gladden. the home.
