But Convey Power Contract
For Is Years

WASHINGTON, April 22.-(By
Associated Press. Proposals for the
use of power developed by govern
ment built projects at Muscle Shoals
for manufacture of aluminium and
fertilizers, with the government re-
tanning ownership of the projects, al
though not spending any more money
on them were presented today to
war department officials by R. r.
Grant, of Wilmington, De-, president
of the American Non-Ferrous Corpor-
alton and of the Aluminium Wheel
Company of America. ....
The plans of Grant, said by him to
be tentative, contemplate an offer
which will enable the government to
retain ownership, but which would
allow the Non-Ferrous Corporation a
contract for 25 years. During such a
period, under the proposal, sinking
fund would pay off the cost of the
project at the rate of five per cent
yt arly, with five years allowed at the
outside for completion of the proper
ties.

PUBLIC ASKED TO HELP
DISABLED NEGRO WOMAN

The attention of the Timcs-Re-
corder has been called to the pitt
able condition of worthy negro wo-
man of this community who stands
in need of immediate assistance. The
woman, afflicted with cancer, is in
bed at her home, with only two small
children, and Q, to attend her needs.
She has recently recovered from an
attack of influenza, and is greatly
debilitated
Foods and other necessities have
been contributed by one Of The
churches, but the crying need at this
time is for sheets, pillow cases and
bedding.
Mrs. George Oliver will receive
any contributions that may be CIV
en-, and see that they are taken inn
mediately into the home of need. This
is worthy case, according to Mrs.
Oliver, one who has not asked chari-
ty generally, having been attended
by few sympathizcrs, but the ne
cessity has arisen to appeal for pub-
lie assistance.

CITY MANAGER
OF COLUMBUS IS
WAYLAID IN DARK
Three Men Attack Him With
Blackjack IL Dark But He
Escapes

COLUMBUS, April 22.-An at
tack was made upon H. Gordon Hin
kle, city manager of Columbus, at
$50 O'Clock last night by three un-
identified men, one of whom struck
him on the head with a black jack,
and whom he eluded only by run
ming at top speed. He was not Sc
riously injured. 49,.
The attack, which has stirred the
people of Columbus, follows that
Mr.. hinkle says have been recent
threats received by him to run him
out of town. The attack occurred
on First avenue above Twelfth
street. He had juts left his car in
a nearby garage and was walking to
his hotel The street is shaded there
and the street was rather dark. He
saw three men get out of Ford car
as he was walking along and they
approached him. One of them hit
him over the head but did not knock
him down. Realizing that he was
unable to defend himself against
three, Mr.. Hinkle started to run, and
one of them pursued him a short dis
tance, then abandoned the chase.
Mr. Hinkle came here the first of
the year from Pennsylvania as the
iiIst city manager under the change
Of system of government to the COM
mission form. The change followed a
bitter fight and many of the old crowd
still resent it. The attack on Mr.
Hinkle is laid to this feeling. ~
1t is said the next municipal cleo
ton will see another determined fight
over the commission-manager form of
government. .ARMs

RAIL UNIONS ORDER STRIKE BALLOT
COURT HOUSE
FIRE LAID TO
LAWBREAKERS
Accused Bad Actors Suspected
ALI Indictments And Re-
cords Of Court Burned

LUMPKIN, April 22.-That the
Stewart county court house, which
was completely destroyed by fire ear
ly Friday morning, was set afire by
some one interested in the destruc-
tion of court records is the belief of
practically every citizen here. How
ever, no definite charges have been
made
Superior court had been in session
all week, and the grand jury had re-
turned number of indictments, sew
eral of them against notorious liquor
violators. Of the entire batch of new
and old indictments only about eight
had been disposed of, and the entire
lot, with all court records, dockets,
etc, which were in the court room
where the clerk and other officers
had been at work, were completely
destroyed. All judgments and other
orders of the court passed during the
week also were lost.
The list of the accused contained
some "bad actors" from the vicinity
of Scale and other sections outlying
from Lumpkin. One notorious moon
sinner who was indicted is said to
operate still which is protected by
charges of dynamite planted in the
ground on all sides of it like ground
mines in the war, which can be fired
III case of raid by the pressing of
an electric button. He is said to op
crate on a large scale and ship his
product to Columbus, Macon and
other large consuming centers.
The fire in the court house is as
certained to have started near the
clock tower in the upper part of the
structure, above the court room. The
electric current is cut off each night
at II o'clock, 50 defective wiring is
not blamed, the fire coming at A a. m.
There was no fire in the court house
stoves in the afternoon, and several
VINO were in the court room told of
touching the stove late in the after
noon leaving the court house and find
ing it cold.
Public opinion is pretty well CEN
tered in its suspicious, but because of
lack of evidence, no arrests can be
forecast.

RESERVE STATEMENT
SHOWS STABILITY

ATLANTA, April Continued
soundness in basic economic condi-
tions is reflected in the report of
the Atlanta Federal Reserve bank as
of April 19, showing a total gold re-
serve of 23,293,349.39 or a ratio
OF total reserves to deposit and fed
eral reserve note liability combined
of 1871 against 77.9 week ago. The
combined report of all reserve banks
shows ratio of 77.3 against TIL ID
week ago, the decrease in percentage
being negligible.
The figures show the same healthy
conditions of the Sixth reserve dis
trict and the country at large as was
indicated in the previous report of
the banks and again give concrete
evidence that the individual partic-
ularly in the country districts, is able
to get along without borrowing.
The heavy gold reserve in the
hands of the federal banks means
that there is plenty of money for
legitimate enterprises and that banks
throughout the nation are in a sound
position financially.
The slight change il the compara-
tive ratio of the reserves indicate a
more even and balanced situation in
the economic world and better than
anything else gives evidence of the
determination of the small borrower
to get along with bare necessities
while he looks to next seasons crops
to take care of him in the future.
