only two six-inch trout, but what were
these among SO manya The boys felt

saw j. d. MeCown come along, abont

for his half days work. The creek.
in the opinion of the boys, has been
fished out for the season, due to the
expert sportsmanship of Curtis Miller

boys declare that they are going to
beat Curtis to it next season. Once
the boys get well started, we would
respectfully suggest that Brother Cur

But the outing was far from being

found about midway between camp

enough to afford the boys fairly good

Louisiana Muskrat
Valuable as Food,
y. S. Bulletin Saws

NEW ORLEANS, July 18.-The
marsh rabbit" or plain every day
muskrat, is the subject of a bulletin
Of peculiar interest to Louisiana just
issued by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture and received
here. 1t disclosed for the first time
to the majority of the people of this
state that Louisiana muskrats, to-
gether with those from the lower
Chesapeake, are sold in the Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and other eastern
markets as marsh rabbits" and are
highly priced by epfcures.
The Louisiana marshes produce
millions of them and hundreds of
trappers make their living sharing
the animals and selling their pelts
But it seems most of the trappers
literally are throwing money away
when they cast the carcasses to the
fish after skinning them, for the
government bulletin says a carcs SIS
weighing a pound and a half is
worth from twenty to twenty-five
cents at retail prices as an article
of food.
The bulletin gives three recipes
one for fried, one for roast and the
third for steWed muskrat

Early Books of Bible
Not Written by Moses,
SAYS Toronto Scholar

LAKE JUNALUSKA, n. c., July
1S.-The first five, books OF the Bible
were not written by Moses, but TO-
gether with the Book of Joshua form
the HeXateuch and are the works of
unknown authors put together by
scholars, is the opinion expressed by
DR.. S. G. Bland, OF Toronto, in an
address on the Old Testament before
the Sunday School Leadership
School of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in session here TO-
day. I
That the early history Of Israel
prior to Abraham was not founded
on historical fact, but upon helpful
myths expressive of the effort of
an honest people to explain the be-
ginning of things, also was asserted
by DR.. Bland to be the opinion Of
the majority of Biblical scholars in
Great Britain and America. He add
ed that it also is believed that the
Ten Commandments did not proceed
from Moses, but came into existence
before his time. He stated, however,
that all these questions have no
bearing on Christ or Christianity,
but are only intellectual satisfac-
ton"
In the open forum that followed
Bishop James Cannon, of the South
ern Methodist church, expressed a
different opinion from That advanced
by DIR. Bland regarding the author.

COMMITTEE VOTES
DOWN BILL To END
PORT Commission


Savannah won the first fall from
Brunswick in the contest over the
state port when general agricultural
committee No. I, of the house of rep.
resentatives, voted 10 to Wednes-
day morning to report adversely the
bill of Representatives Clark and
New, Of Laurens county, to abolish
the state port commission created in
1921. This commission has recon-
mended Savannah as the site for
the proposed state port.
Gordon Saussy, president of the
Municipal League of Georgia, and
resident of Savannah; Representa-
tives Atkinson and Eve, of Chatham
county; Elders, of TattnaIl county,
and Galloway, of Putnam county,
argued before the committee against
the adjustment of the commission.
Representative Mann, of Glynn
county, a resident of Brunswick,
and Representative New, of Laurens
county, one of the authors of the
bill, urged that the commission be
abolished.
The present port and harbors COM
mission is composed of the COVER
nor, the commissioner of agriculture
the secretary of state, w. B. Baker,
Of Atlanta, representing the manu-
facturers of Georgia, and DR.. c.. H.
Kittrell, of Dublin, representing the
Georgia Farmers union.
This commission last year EN-
ployed A. w. Cowie, the engineer
t.,LA ;ni, Al
docks at Montreal, Canada, who
ports and terminals on the coast Of
proposed state port be built at
Savannah.
Representative New gave notice
that he would file a minority report,
and, when the bill was adversely re-
ported in the house Wednesday
morning, he had it placed on the
calendar for the purpose of disagree
ing with the report of the commit
tee.
1--WE are going to fight for the
adjustment of the commission" he
asserted, until We can fight no
longer. Those in favor of the board
appeared before the committee with
the promise that the members would
not spend any more money, and I
believe this was the reason the adj
verse report was returned. We in
tend, however, to see that it Is, abol.
ished altogether"
This same committee set the bill
Of Representative Mann, providing
for distillation test Of gasoline, as
a special order for hearing Friday
morning.

Bergdoll Expected
To Return to Serve
Term as Stacker

WASHINGTON, July ia pos
sibility that Grover Cleveland Berg
doll may voluntarily return to the
United States and serve a prison
sentence for evading the draft is
seen by some officials here as a re-
suit of recent conferences with the
Bergdoll attorneys.
Hope of such a development is
based upon supposition that at
least some of the Bergdoll property
taken over by the government dur
ing the war might be returned
should the fugitive give himself up.
The restoration law passed at the
last session of congress contains a
clause said to have. been inserted
to cover the Bergdoll case in par
ticular, specifying that none of the
property held by the alien property
custodian shall be turned back to
it's former owner so long as he is
under sentence for violation of the
draft law.

peasants that there's no chance OF
Cepaying to them the original value
Of the bonds. What would happen
to any administration which per
mitted such thing to happen? 1t
would turn out in the United States
almost as quickly as it would be
overturned here.
The French who hold reconstruc-
ton bonds know their government
cant ultimately redeem these bonds
unless Germany pays. Yet they are
not worried because it may be q
long tedious process, nor are they
inclined to rush into cancellation
of debts nor reductions of repara-
tons accounts just because the pres
ent outlook is bad. The Frenchman
doesn't understand the art of writ
ing off debts as uncollectable. He
may have to wait century for
payment, but he waits just the same
and a debt. once on his books, does
not come off. His unit of thought is
not year but generation.
Investor Is Confident
So the French investor, feeling
the utmost confidence in the gov
eminent, expects it to pay interest
regularly and to refund the pres
ent bonds with others when they
mature and thus keep the thing 60
ing until Germany pays. The best
evidence of the Frenchmans conf
dence in the governments ability
to collect from Germany or to IL
nance its own Indebtedness is the
fact that since the bond issues were
floated the market price thereof
remains virtually the same as when
they were first sold to the public.
The French are not yet through.
They must raise another three bill
lion dollars to finish work in the
devastated regions and still other
billions for pensions. They will keep
on floating bond issues. Anyone
who supposes there is chaos in
Frances internal credit situation is
much mistaken. The people are sure
that their government is solvent
and will redeem the bonds as the
Americans are that the Liberties
will be redeemed when something
like twenty-three billions of war
debts still hangs over the treasury
at Washington.
And while foreigners may be
skeptical of Germany's paying pow
er, the Frenchman entertains no
such doubts, but is confident thai
Germany can pay and will ultl
mately be compelled to do so.

AVTI-POOL ROOM
BILL IS FAVORABLY
REPORTED IN HOUSE

BY a vote of Is to 9, general jul
dietary committee number one of the
house of representatives voted Tues
day afternoon to report favorably
the bill Of Representative Woodruff
Of DeKalb county, making it unlaw-
. tut to operate pool rooms or billiard
parlorS in the state OF Georgia OPP
ponents Of the measure gave notice
that they would carry the fight on
thesbill to the floor Of the house.
Speaking in favor of the measure
Representative Woodruff declared
that 12S counties in the state have
already banned pool rooms and other
counties are putting them out of ex-
fstence at the rate of one per week.
He declared that the state received
only $35,415 last year from pool
room licenses, instead of 100000 as
had been claimed by the opposition.

olina raised her boy to be a man.

Of Atlanta and became bandit He
Eaid his crime was planned in a pool
room, and when he died on the gal
lows, Frank Dupre left q last admo-
milton that boys be kept away from
pool rooms" said Mr.. Woodruff.
Representative J. o. Wood, Of
Fulton county, opposed the bill on
: the ground that DeKalb county has
no right to regulate Fulton county
or any other county. Mr.. Wood
stated that there are groceries in
both DeKalb and Fulton counties
filatware better loafing places than
pool rooms.
The Rev. J. NJ. Fakes. pastor OF
fhe Decatur Methodist church, made
Rn .ifnpassioned plea for the Wood
ruff bill. Others who spoke for it
were Representatives McCrory, OF
Schley county, and Holden, of
Clarke.
Representative Parker, of Ware
county, and Attorney w. A. Coburn,
of Atlanta, spoke for the Parker bill
regulating pool rooms, which was
later adversed by the committee by
vote of 13 to 10.
Mrs. Viola Ross Napier, Of Bib
secured an amendment to the Wood
ruff bill making it effective on Au-
gust 1, 1924, instead of January 1,
1924
