The long expected has happened,
and Grand View has no hoted just at
present. The Foreclosure time ex-
pired April 1 and the interested
parties have taken possession The
parties from whom the furniture
was purchased have removed the
same and the house is closed. The
people of the town regret all this
and the sympathy of everyone goes
out to those who have met with such
serious loss. They are among our
oldest and most respected and be-
loved citizens and have hundreds Of
friends all over the state. A mat

a hotel and the furnishing of it at
just the time that every thing was
at peak prices was beyond the fore
sight of even our most experienced
business men as shown by failures
of banks and many other lines of
businesses. The people of Grand

the hotel for some months but our

A man said recently, 81 don't
claim to know much but it seems
to me mighty strange with such soil

some people are willing to send their
money away for grain, potatoes and
lots of things Just for the fun of
raising hay only and taking the
price the Boston wool market allows
the sheepmen TO pay. If other people
can raise vegetables and a lot of
things and to us l suppose at a pro-
fit, why don't we save that profit,
and more, for we can match OF better

Representative Harris, of Jeffer-

The existing agricultural schools
said Representative Harris and

The first effotr to create a new

PARIS, July 19,-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press The German gov

London, is striving to have the
Forthcoming British note on repara-
tions convey to the French govern
ment Germany's willingness to
cease passive resistance in the Ruhr
region, subject to certain conces-
sions on the part of France. This
information has rea ached the French
government on what is regarded as
unquestionable, but unofficial au-
thority.
The concessions desired, however
would be unacceptable to France,
it is declared here, because the
agreement to cease passive resist
ance on the part of Germany is
not accompanied by assurances and
guarantees that reparations pay

POSITIVELY
WILL PLAY HERE ON
FRIDAY IS STATEMENT
Lane Authority for Statement
Formes Big Lacquer Will Be
Seen in Action
DECLARED FREE AGENT
Secretary ]. H. O'Farrell Rules
on Status of Men Playing
With Ineligibles

The last objection to Joe jack
son playing in the South Georgia
circuit was removed here unexpect-
edly shortly before noon today. This
came in the form of a telegram to
Robert C. Lane, former MerceH
player, who telegraphed j. H. Far
reI, secretary of the natinoal as
sociation OF Minor Leagues, asking
if there had ever been a ruling with
reference to ineligible players play
ing with prospective league players,
that would affect their eligibility as
future players. This message Far
rell replied today that Every in
diyidual players standing must be
Investigated and passed upon sep
arately. Free agents are not af-
fected after investigation" Fol-
lowing receipt of this telegram, an
nouncement was, authorized that
jackson positively will be in uni
form here Friday afternoon and will
play as a member of the Ameri-
Gus team. Since it was announced
Jackson had been signed by Ameri-
Gus the entire circuit has been in
turmoil, which was not ended un-
til receipt of the telegram quoted
from Farrell, and which is accept
ed here a sdefinitely settling the
status not only Of Jackson but ev-
cry other player in the South Geor-
gia circuit as a free agent, and
wholly without the jurisdiction Of
the national baseball association.
Before authorizing announce
ment that Jackson positively will
play here Friday afternoon, Mr..
Lane conferred with John Wagnon
and a number of we'll posted base
ball men in Americus and it was
decided that absolutely no further
objection could be made against
Jackson or anybody else playing in
this circuit. The circuit bylaws, it
is declared, contain no provision
that would bar any player because
Of his ineligibility as big Lacquer,
and there can be no question or
normal turpitude involved, mas
much as Jackson has been tried in
the criminal courts on the charges
upon which he was suspended as a
member Of the White Sox team
and the jury rendered a verdict de-
claring him not guilty.
1t is set up in his behalf that
the jury trying Jackson in the es-
tabiIshed courts at Chicago had no
connection whatever with the base
ball reviewing authorities who are
without the jurisdiction of the
statutes in their dealing with play
ers. Because of this, it is further
argued, Jackson has meen unable
to force national commission au-
thorities to re-instate him, and that
he is now pursuing the only remedy
provided him in bringing suit
against Charles Comiskey, owner of
the team for alleged damages sus-
tanned.

Lowndes Legislators Get Favor
able Report on Measure Con-
tanning Such Provision

! ATLANTA, July ia bill
designed to require all revenue
from all sources for the state of
Georgia to be paid into the treas
ury and all expenses Of the vari-
Gus departments and branches to
jbe paid out by warrant of the
governor drawn on appropriations
made by the general assembly now
is before the Georgia house of
representatives.
The bill is being sponsored by
Copeland and Stamford, Of Lown-
des county, and has received a
favorable report from the ways
and means committee Of the house.
Under present laws, some Of the
departments are collecting their
own revenue and making their own
expenditures. The new bill would
place the collections in the hands
of the treasury and the issuance of
warrants against the funds in the
hands Of the governor.
Violation of the proposed law
would be punishable as a mlsde'
, meanor if the defendant were
found guilty.
Mr.. Stamford is the author OF
another bill receiving attention OF
the house members. This measure
would change the tenue of office
of the state veterinarian from life
to a four year term.
The house general agricultural
committee, number one, considered
/ the bill and returned a favorable
report. 1t will come up for con
sideration at an early date.

LABOR
DISPLEASED

Government control, not owner
ship, of the United States anthra-
cite industry is recommended by
the coal commission, appointed to
investigate this situation. It is
expected the commission may make
further recommendation concern
ing the bituminous industry in Sep
tember.
The specific Recommendation Is
that, in case Of suspension of min
ing operations, the president be en-
powered to take over the mines,
distribute coal and determine price,
wages and compensation to land and
mine owners.
To this President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor Off
cially voices the objection of union
labor. Real penalties for the min
ers, phantom panalties for the op-
erators," he declares, "seem to be
the outstanding feature" of the
recommendations. The miners will
not give up their right to strike,
he adds.

DR. HAYG00D FINDS
BIRTHRATE TOO Low
Sumter Lax in Recording Births
With Registrar Of Vital Sta
tislics

DR.. NJ. f. Haygood. Of the Georgia
State Board of Health has just COM
pleted an inspection trip in Sumter
and Schley counties! where he found
the birth rate, as shown by vital sta
tistics too low. In comparison with
Georgia as a whole, Sumter's regis
tered births show a race of 3.3 per
cent with the normal for the state
81 per ceht.
There are only two mjdWiyes reg
istered with the State Board Of
Health in Sumter county, Dr. Hay
good states, though, he believes
there are many others practicing
this profession here. the delin-
quency, he believes, is chiefly
the negroes, and neglect in register
ing births has caused Sumter county
to occupy an unenviable position in
comparison with other counties. In
Schley county, the birth rate Dr.
Haygood found, as shown By the
registered statistics, is %.
In Sumter county. he states, there
should be at least so midwives prac-
dclng ana Ghe DodIu VIII fbdhe St6po
to ascertain the names of all who
havd neglected to register. The law
covering midwives in Georgia pro-
vides that all births must be proper
ly registered and where this is not
done the midwife or physician at
tending the mother is subject to q
severe penalty. Dr.. Haygood asks
especially that negro leaders assist
tic board in having negro midwi3es
register with the board at Atlanta,
so that the vital statistics may be
made more accurate.
