Constipation results from the inability

tallic origin force action; but they do not
correct the cause of constipation.
Early settlers treated constipation with
natural laxatives. An extract was made
from herbs, roots, barks and leaves with
laxative qualities. DR.. True's Elixir. the
True Family Laxative, is compound of
extracts from natural plants pure,
mild, pleasant and effective, old-fashlon-

be as follows: $40 for the SOS certificate,
$50 for the 500 certificate and $500 for
the $1,000 certificate.

During the year Just ended strikes have
cost the strikers hundreds of millions of
dollars. All lost. Nothing saved. Most
of the strikes were lost and, in most in
stances, the strikes won brought no gain.
Business also lost heavily by reason of
strikes. The public feels that it is the
supporter of both the workman and his
employer. and the time is not far distant
when the public will insist on arbitration
and if necessary will enforce it.

GEORGIA LIKE 2 DISTINCT
STATESINC INCROPSTHISYEAR
Melon Acreage Increased 1920 Per Cent Keek5
Report Shows More Cotton in Southern
Section, And 1t Is Early

ATLANTA, April 21.-The En-
pire State has watermelon acreage
this year within fifteen or twenty
per cent of the total planted in the
whole country in 1918, according to
the Georgia crop reporters. This is
accompanied by an acreage of canta-
loupes several times that of the state
total of last season, says the weekly
crop summary released today by the
local agricultural statistician, z. R.
Pettet. Planting of both these crops
continues. The commercial belt has
moved upward till several North
Georgia counties are trying both
crops on large scale. Over a hum
dred acres of cantaloupes are report
ed within twenty miles of Atlanta.
1t will be impossible to make defi-
mite estimate Of either cantaloupe or
watermelon totals until planting is
completing.
The same general conditions that
have caused the unusual increase in
melons, have likewise promoted plant
ing of all other possible money crops.
Ambng the truck crops, sweet pota-
toes, pimento peppers and cabbage at
present seem to be most important.
A. vast number of sweet potato stor-
age houses have been built. The
mld-western section is making the
most pronounced increase. Irish po-
tatoes have been planted for money
crop in many parts of South Geor-
gia and the general planting for
home consumption is large. Pimento
peppers, which started several years
ago. at Griffin, have spread into the
counties of Mer iwether,
Fayette, Butts, Pike, Lamar and
CoWeta.
The staple crops which give prom
ise of increase, are peas, peanuts,
sorghum and corn in the upper sec
tion of the state.
In South Georgia the situation is
very different. Fertilization sales,
decrease in pigs, and secondary crops,
bear out the general impression that
there is more cotton in South Geor-
gia this season. At this time Of year,
it is unsafe to eeneralize upon this

TOPU'r' PENALTY
ON STREET TAX
Council To Enact Ordinance Max
ing Payment Voluntary And
Adding 81 For Delinquency

That the city marshal spends about
two months of the year in pursuing
street taxpayers when that time
could be utilized to good advantage
otherwise, was the statement to the
council last night of Alderman War
rem, chairman of the finance commit
tee. He stated that he favored the
placing of a stiff fine on non-payment
of street taxes when due and not
paid voluntarily.
He pointed out that the city of Al
bany adds 81 to the So street tax for
non-rayment on time, whereas the
penalty in Americus is only SO
cents, an amount not sufficient to
cause the delinquents much concern
whether they pay or not.
lie suggested that notice of the
date the street tax is due each year
be published, and payment be made
at the city clerks office without ac-
tion by the marshal until delinquents
are pusned ever to him.
Chairman Taylor, of the ordinance
committee was instructed to prepare
an amendment to the present ordi-
nance raising the penalty.

COUNCIL GRANTS
WATER TO POOL
Chairman Mashburn Insists On
Action When Delay Is Sug-
gested And Report Passes

The city council at it's regular
meeting last night voted to ratify the
proposal of the water committee,
through Chairman H. B. Marshburn,
to furnish the Playground pool with
18O,00 gallons Of water once each
week at ] 5 cents a thousand gallons,
the playground to pay for all connec-
tions, put in a meter and pay twice
monthly, the city reserving the right
to cancel the arrangement at any
time. He said that the city engineer
had reported that this service could
be rendered by the city without
difficulty.
Alderman Burke asked that action
on the report be delayed. He said
that he lived close to the pool and
while he was friendly to the project,
he wanted assurance chat Gn2 ar
rangement would be s1nitary and
cesired to hold Up the service Of the
city Until this assurance eeuld be
secured He said he had inycstigat
ed and found that filing the pool
only once a week, with a flow Of only
10000 gallons daily from the poo!
well for pdrification, would not keep
the ptol sanitary. He said the Cor
dele pool was cleaned three times a
week. this having been fould neces-
saly to keep down odCrs and make
it sanitary.
Chairman Mashburn objected to
delay. He said that if the place was
not kept in sanitary condition, it
could easily be closed. "But | want
this agreement to go through now,"
said he, ''for | want to help the pool
and assist in making it succeed. |
believe it will be kept sanitary. The
well engineer said that he believed
there was more water in the we'll than
TIL 10000 he reported, and | am sure
the jool will be maintained in a san
itary way and that whatever is ne
eessary to do to keep it sanitary will
be done"
Mr., Burke withdrew his objection
and the proposal was ratified
unanimously.

COURT HOUSE
LUMPKIN BURNS;
RECORDS SAVED
Handsome $4,000 Structure De.
stroyed With $4,000 In
surance In Force

LUMPKIN, April 21-The Stewart
county court house, which has been
the pride of Lumpkin and Stewart
county, was totally destroyed by fire
at 4 O'Clock this morning. The origin
of the blaze is unknown, the struc-
ture being beyond saving when it
was discovered. The building was
valued at $4,000, and carried insur-
ance of $4,000.
All the records, of which there
were many of great value in land
titles, etc, are believed to have been
saved. A few were taken out of the
burning building, but most of them
. were stored in fire proof steel vaults
and believed to be unframed.
The local fire company did splen-
did work, but was unable to make
any headway against the blaze, so
great start had it obtained.
The court house was a handsome
lwo-story brick and slate roof struc-
tulc. Some Of the walls are still
standing, which it is thought may
possibly be utilized in erecting new
building, and the concrete founda-
tions are considered suitable on
which to replace the structure.

COUNTER CLAIMS
VIII Restore Property OF Foreign
ers Or Satisfy Claims, Reply
To Allies Says

GENOA, April q (By Associated
Press) If the Russians are granted
recognition de jure and adequate
financial help, they state in their re-
ply to the Enetente today, that they
are willing to admit Russia's war and
pre-war debts, waive ther counter
claims and restore the use of nation-
allied property to its former owners
or satisfy the claims of foreigners in
cases where property can not be re-
stored.
As justifying their contention
that the Allies could net as a matter
of right, demand compensation for
property, the Russians cite the aboli-
ton of slavery in the United States
when neither Americans nor foreign
ers were compensated. They also
cite the adoption Of prohibition in the
United States as case where no
compensation was given to the pro-
ducer of alcoholic drinks
The German reply to the Allied
ultimatum accepts the condition tha.
the German delegates be barred from
participating in further discussion of
the Russian controversy by the Genoa
conference, the Russo-German treaty
signed at Rapallo Sunday being al
lowed to stand
