SECTION OF LANYARD
HILL PAVING GONE.

Americus experienced very heavy
rainfall Monday afternoon and Tues
day night. J. M. Bryan, local
weather observer, reported that the
total rainfall for "a hours ending at
7 o'clock this morning was 2.05
inches, three fourths of which he es-
timated fell during the night.
Very little damage was reported
hereabouts as result of the down
pour, the most serious being a sec
tion of about 25 feet of the fill on
lanyard hill, together with the pave
ment and banisters recently put in
there on the county paving project on
the Smithville road Three large
clay pipes had been laid under the
fill to carry the drain from the slough,
but the weight of the dirt had crush
ed two of these, leaving only a single
opening through which the water
could flow. When the heavy rain
came last night the single pipe prov
ed insufficient and the water cut
through the places where the pipes
were crushed and the fill caved in.
This resulted in the Smithville
road being closed for several hours,
but County Engineer Ansley and w.
c. Caye, division highway engineer,
had a detour around the opening
ready well before noon.
A report was current about town
during the forenoon that the dam at
Browns Mill, 8 miles east of Ameri-
custi had gone out and many fishing
parties were in the process Of organi-
zation when it was learned that the
report was untrue.
The Central of Georgia passenger
train from Atlanta and Macon, due
here at 5:25 a. m., arrived at sbout
1920, having been held in Macon for
several hours because of small
washout at Powersville, 25 miles
south of Macon. A small washout
was detected early near Columbus on
the Central branch and repaired be-
fore it had interrupted traffic.
The Seaboard reported no damage
to lines in this section from water.

FIRST MELON PLANTS
ARE KILLED BY FROST

MOULIKIE, March 7.-The heaVy
frosts of Sunday and Monday play
ed havoc with watermelon vines in
the Mdultrie territory. A consider
able acreage was up and growing
when the unexpected cold spell came.
Growers, however, state the frost
will greatly delay shipments as the
practice of planting seed once a
week until all danger of cold is over
assures new plants to take the place
of those killed just as soon as the
weather moderates.

DIAMONDS MAY BECOME
THE FINANCIAL STANDARD

London, Sept. 3O-Somebody is cor
nering the diamond supply of the
world, according to British importers
of the stones. All over the world the
best and largest diamonds are vanish
ing. and London dealers are securing
the continent in the attempt to obtain
stones to satisfy the demand which
has suddenly sprung up for the finest
gems. But they have small success
for mysterious shortage exists at a
time of unprecedented demand.
Diamonds will soon become the
currency of the world if money con-
tinues to depreciate at the rate of the
last few months" said one dealer.
erich Americans are buying all the
stones they can secure. There is an
unlimited demand for two grainers
up to the six grainers from America,
and Japan is buying largely. Fine
small stones are also very scarce.
"The Germans are hanging on to
their diamonds like grim death. They
will not sell at any price, and regard
their diamonds as the only real secu-
rity left them. The same spirit OBJ
tains in other countries"

COMMANDS THE
LOT OF GERMAN MARINERS

Petrograd, Sept. 1.-(By Mail to
the Associated Press).-The port of
Petrograd, principally frequented to-
day by small German steamers, fur
nishes striking illustration of what
the confscation of Germany's biggest
liners by the Allies has done to the
old officers of the German merchant
marine.
Once pacing the bridge of Atlantic
liners carrying thousands of passen-
gers, these officers are now command
ing, or standing watches on tiny tubs
that skirt the shores of the Baltic.
From over $4,000 tons to less
than 1000 tons has, for example, been
the change in the command held by
William Witte, once captain of the
"Imperator." He recently brought the
950-ton Karlsrue from Cologne to
Petrograd.

MINING CONGRESS SEEKS
INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION

Cleveland, O., Oct. 2.-Industrial
cooperation between capital and la
Dor in the mining industry will be the
chief topic of discussion at the Amer
lean Ching Congress, when it con-
venes here Oct. 9th.
J. F. Galbraith, secretary OF the

industry today" he said. "One is the
reduction of the cost of production and
the other is the necessity of reaching
some stable policy to eliminate
strikes between labor and capital
There must be some solution by which
both labor and capital will profit thru
increased production"

AMERICAN MULE REIGNS
SUPREME IN ARMENIA

Erivan, Sept. 4.-(By Mail to the
Press).-The American
mule is 206 times as efficient as the
Armenian OK, and 2.68 times as eff
cient as the Caucasian horse, accord
ing to figures reported by the Ameri-
can farming experts in charge of the
agricultural program of the Near
East in the Caucasus.
These computations are made on a
cost-efficiency basis. taking into con-
sideration capital investment, upkeep,
length of service, and amount of work
accomplished. The mule beats even
the tractor in small farming opera
tions, but farms of more than 500
acres bring down tractor costs per
unit of work done to a basis below
that of the mule.
American mules were introduced
here about a year ago. American re-
lief organizations now use 800 OF
these animals on their various agricul
tural relief projects. Plans for the
breeding of the American type mule
on Armenian soil will be shortly car
ried into effect in northern Armenia.

AMERICAN TIPPING
AMAZES THE ENGLISH

London, Sept. 11.-These early Sep
tember days are witnessing the depar-
ture from London of large numbers of
American travellers for their homes
across the water. From all over the
continent they have come, and the
boat trains for Liverpool and South
ampton bear they away on the last
lap of their summers journeyings.
Observant Londoners see in them
much that is different from other
tourists, and notable among the ex-
ceptions is the tendency to give big
tips Says the London Evening News:
"Miles of shiny black brass-bound
luggage, women in tortoise shell rim
spectacles, carrying bouquets and
wearing shoes with heels as low as
, those of mans boots, and 'largesse'
for the perspiring porters.
{ "These are the outstanding features
of the busy scenes at Waterloo just
before the special trains for South
ampton leave with their hundreds of
American passengers who are return
ing home.
'FThe porters to whose lot it falls
to handle the luggage of Americans
/ homeward bound at such time count
themselves lucky.
Three porters received each ter
shillings for handling one Americas
pile of luggage" says the reporter
"and two porters who found seats in
the train for the returning pilgrims
earned more than 80 shillings apiece
"Ten pounds each in tips is the
weeks record of these two men, anC
apparently they are not kings at the
game.
"There is a man here" one of then
told the reporter, "who will make
eight or nine pounds today. You ma!
get one shilling, two shillings, fv'
shillings or one pound in a tip" h
Iadded. "Hotel porters who bring tn
luggage here often receive three O
four pounds"
It is almost always Americans VIII
give such extravagant tips, and som
English folk who are not given t
squandering money in this way, d
not like them any better for it.

Constantinople, Oct. with the
armistice conference definitely fixed

war between Great Britain and Tur-

Great Britain's recession from the

it was generally admitted this step
was the only thing which could have
stayed Mustapha Kemal Pasha's hand.
It's pointed to as another evidence of
