DAY To DRAW

Go Through Maneuvers
Under Hot Sun.
NO ADVANTAGE GAINED
Artillery, Machine Guns
and Planes Are Brought
Into Play.

Maria. Ten, Sept. 26.-Under a
hlistering sun. the Whites" and
browns" the first and second bri-
gades. respectively. of the First Cav
airy Division, fought stubbornly for
more than five hours Tuesday morn
ing. in the second day of the cavalry
field maneuycrs. without either side
having gained any marked advant-
age.
When Mai. Gen. Robert L. Howe,
division commander. had the buglers
sound cease firing" shortly after
! o'clock. the Browns" still held the
Fischer Hill. the keynote to the tao
teal situation. while the whites, :"
who had launched an attack earlier in
the day. were slowly Withdrawing TO
the south.
They had fought stubbo-nly, hurl-
ing their forces determinediy at The
Brown" position. but finding it i'm
pregnable. were forced 10 withdraw

tachments. recoroitering south of the
Fischer ranch. came upon Brown
patrols.
The whites" advanced abreast,
the Fifth Cavalry Regiment on tlc
right and the First Regiment on the
left, the artillery bringing up the
rear.
The object of their attack seemed
to be the development of the Brown"
right and the seizure of the high
ground and water supply at Fisch-
er's.
This attack at first, was partial
ly successful. but was frustrated be-
caus of the advantageous position
held by the Browns" on the Fischer
Hill where machine gun nests kept
up an incessaut fire upon the advanc-
'ing "Whites" silhoueted against the
sky on the opposite ridge.
One troop of whites" well in adj
vance of the column, was taken pris-

Strap Abolished In
State Penitentiary
Order to that Effect issued
By Hardwick. Suggests
No Substitute.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Saturday Gov.
ernor hardwick issued an executive
order prescribing the use Of the
strap in Georgia convict camps. In
explanation of his action the COVER
nor said.
am convinced that the inflic-
ton of corporal punishment Of this
character is forbidden by the con-
stituiioE Of our state, even as a part
of prison or chaingang discipline.
Since am so convinced. and since
/ am under oath to support, pro-
tcct and defend the constitution OF
Georgia in all of its provisions can
not even consider any OF the prac-
Teal questions involved in this mat
ter -
Governor Hardwick says he does
not know to what extent it will be
difficult to, conduct the penitentiary
system without the use OF the strap,
but he believes the difficulties in the
way are exaggerated, and adds:
At any rate, | have no concern
with that question, | lave to sup
port the constitution of Georgia as
| find it,
There have come many letters to
the governor from county commits
sioners, convi,t wardens, etc.,
urging him not to abolish the lash.
They contend that certain type
of felony convicts, both black and
white, serving for crimes of violence
cannot be managed without the
strap, or at least the privilege of
the lash as last resort.

trail of Georgia were present at
this feast and were called upon
to make short talks to the editors
We live on the Central of Geor-
gia lines and for this we feel
proud of the Central of Georgia.
They are ever striving to build
up the territory along their lines
and are aiding in agricultural de-
velopment, mining and manufac-
III ing in every way possible.
After breakfast we were issued
tickets to Tybee by the Central
and from Tybee we came back to
TT. Screyen where we had the
pleasure of viewing the last Of
the troops from Germany. AT
the Fort we were served an army
dinner by the soldier and were
issued kit-my mistake was |

of that-but anyway after dinner

the army. Capt. Hearn was in
command and he deserves much
credit for the entertainment of
the Editors while at the Fort.
After dinner was served a real
battle was staged forthe benefit
Of the visitors and they were
shown the different uses of all
fire arms and the accuracy Of
the fire Of the machine gun. Well
the beans are all right but we
don't want to capture any ma

nah about 5 o'clock and all de-
parted for their homes during
the night that is, all that were
able trusting that all mid-winter
meetings hereafter would be held

Reply to Letter to
Senator VIM. ]. Harris

The following letter from Hon.
VIM. ]. Harris in reply to u letter
tn him last week will be of interest
to all our reaflers as every person
in Lee county is interested in the
control OF malaria.
Hon. j. P. Horne,
Ieesbarg, Ga.
My dear Mr.. Horne:
I thank you for your letter of the
10Th inst, regarding the condition
Of your county, which is caused by

with the Public Health Service and
will write you further when I am
advised.
Let me know when l can serve
you, and with best wishes, | am
Very sincerely yours
VIM. ]. HARRIS.
Every person in Lee county is
interested in the above and we are
going to make every effort to get
Government aid to do drainage
work in this county. If you con
troll malaria you have got to first
remove the cause then you can con
troll Without drainage we will
never be able to do anything. we
are sure something will be done.

Business is Again
Back to Normal

Business is ack to normal
Isay the mail order houses j
literature received in Atlanta.
People are again sending ava,
from the home town for mer
chandise, the lure of the attrac
lively Illustrated catalogue beinl
too great to withstand.
A few months ago when the
times were tight and money
scarce, many of the same people
who are now sending to Chicago
and New York mail order houses
for goods were buying at home,
on credit. Then the home mer'
chant was made use of; as usual,
he helped out in a pinch.
No one buys from d mail order
house on time. One sends the
money with the order, and. he
gets the goods. only when the
order is accompanied with the
correct amount.
When ore lacks a few dollars
Of having enough to pay the
home merchant for a bill of goods
he expects him to wait on him
for the balance and he does it.
When one lacks a dollar or two
of sending enough to pay for
the mail order purchase he re-
ceives notice of the deficiency,
and he does not get the goods
until the balance has been paid,
either in remittance to the house
or in a C. 0. D. payment when
the package comes.
In many small towns, and in
some larger ones, the home mer-
chant is regarded by many mere
ly as convenience. The fact
that he meets mail order prices
on many articles and that pur-
chases made at home can be seen
before they are bought, are buy
ing features that are forgotten
when the big mail order catalo-
que arrives and cleverly present
ed offerings on paper are scan
ned.
Even in Leesburg where 10
cal stocks are large and the varle-
ty of the goods equal to any city,
where prices are the lowest con-
sistent with good business and
where the latest styles are shown,
simultaneously with large city
shcwings, there are people who
feel impelled to patronize mail
order houses. or who think they
must go elsewhere 10 bug what
they wish.
1t is a mistaken IDEA. 1t is a
costly experiment in every in
stance. 1t is unfair to the Lees
burg merchants. Leesburg
stores have as large a variety, as
fine selections, as late styles and
low prices as any stores any,
where. No one ever gains by
sending out Of Oglethorpe for
merchandise. They invariably
pay more when transportation
charges are figured, and they Go
not get any better goods or any
later styles.

Ravaces by Rats.

It has been estimated that the eco
nomic loss from rats in the United
States is S200,000,000 a year. In other
estimates before the war, the annual
damage in the United Kingdom was
S70,000OOO. AS a carrier of bubonic
plague and other diseases the rat Is
charged with the loss Of more human
lives than all the vars in history.

Editors Enjoy "Big
Time in Savannah

I
the mid winter meeting of tn
Georgia Weekly Press Associa
ton in Savannah from Friday o
last week until Sunday.
This was probably the larges
attendance ever gathered at
mid-winter meeting, about 15C
being present.
The City of Savannah and hel
people deserve much credit fol
the entertainments prepared and
the hospitality shown the Editors
The Editors arrived on Thurs
day night and Friday morning
and the first business meeting
was held at the Municipal build
ing beginning at ten o'clock and
at which time several addresses
were made by prominent speak
ers from all sections of the state
on different subjects. An ad-
dress by Mr.. Critics, of the
Chamber of Commerce at Millen,
was very interesting and will be
published in all the papers of the
state and it is well worth read
ing, this meeting adjourned at
1::30 and the party was taken to
Thunderbolt where they
were served an old time
Oyster roast prepared by the
Savannah News and the Savan-
nah Press, two Of Georgia's lead
ing newspapers. This was quite
a treat to the newspaper people
Of the state as some had never
had the opportunity of cracking
oyster before, which is a very
nice JOB if you don't know how.
At this place we also visited the
terrapin farm of Mr.. Barbree
which was an unusual sight.
The Editors were shown the
terrapins and everything was
explained to them from the time
it was Matched until ready for
the market. The diamond back
terrapin is very valuable on the
Northern markets and Mr.. Bar
bree ships all he raises. At
night the Editors wereentertain-
ed at the different theatres Of
the city and special programs
were arranged for their pleasure.
On Saturday another business
meeting was held at the Munich
pal building and adjourned at l:30
and the Editors were carried for
a boat ride through Savannah's
harbor where the State Port
will be located--and the Lions
Club of Savannah served the
visitors lunch with all kinds of
refreshments and also furnished
an orchestra for this trip. The
boat carried the Editors by the
home of the Waving Girl" In
the daily papers of last week YOU
probably saw a picture of this
girl. The reason she is called
the Waving Girl' goes back to
an old love story of 30 years age
when her sweetheart went to sea
and never returned. she is now
about go years of age and has
never left her home expecting
him to return on every ship
She is known to all ships the
world over and no ship passes
the place but what signals hel
with three blows. 1t was stated
that if a sail boat came in at
O'Clock il the morning not max
ing a noise she was always or
the porch to wave a red lantern
in the day time she uses a white
cloth or handkerchief of some
description.
