Georgia Concern Sues
On Big War Claim

Atlanta, Ga, Aukust 1.-The Ches-
ttateo Pyrites and Chemical corpora
ton of Georgia has filed in the district
supreme court at Washington, D. c.,
a petition for mandhmus against Rob
ert Work, secretary of the interior, to
compel him to take jurisdiction of 4
claim of the company under the war
materials claim act of March 2, 'olo,
as ameded.
The company claims to have suffered
a net loss of $919,172.73 in producing
and preparing Pyrites for the needs
of thenation in the prosecution of war
The difficulty with the interior depart
ment seems to center over the claim
of the company to recoverlostinterest
which is paid on the sum of $695,OOO
which it was obliged to borrow to car
ry on its work.
Secretary Work, it is contended,
holds that the interest charge does
not come under the purview of the act
and refuses to refer the question to the
department of justice or to the court
of claims as asked by the company.
Former Uunited States Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia, who is now in
Atlanta for his summer vacation, and
Attorney Edgar Watkins, of Atlanta
appear for the company.

F. 0. Wyman Survives
Attack OF Bull
Injured Man Rushed to Local
Hospital; Seriously Hurt
But Will Recover

J. O. Wyman, veteran R. F. D.
Carrier, and well-known throughout
the county, was most seriously
wounded by a Jersey bull, the proper
ty of Spencer Yopp, a coloredI man
living at 300 w. Palm street. The bull
was tied out for grazing and in some
way got loose, finding his way into
Mr.. Wyman's pasture. Mr.. Wyman
went out to drive him out, when the
bull attacked him and causing serious
injuries, breaking several uibs, rip
pin the lower abdomen and causing
other injuries.
Neighbors rushed in and drove the
bull from his victim and took the I'M
conscious man to the Fitzgerald hos
pital, where medical attention was i'm
mediately given him. For some time it
was thought the injuries might prove
fatal, but hospital authorities now an
nounce him out of danger.
Mr.. Wyman has been a resident
here since the early colony days and
has been in the Rural Mail srvice ever
since it was ests. b1ished in the county.
He is subject to retirement with a
pension, but has refused to be retired
thus far. 1t is not thought probable
that he will re-enter the service. Mr..
Wyman is sixty eight years old and
has host of friends in the city and
county, who will be glad to learn of
his probable recovery.

Travelling 1900 miles into the bleak

Georgia May Lead
In Highway Work
Obstruction Plans of State Authorities
Provide for Big Development
Particularly in Rural Sections

Atlanta, Ga, August Pushing of
the highway construction plans in
Georgia this year give promise, accord
ing to state highway officials that
another year will find this state well
on its way to the most creditable sys-
tine of highways in the Southern states
Especially valuable to rural devel-
opment in Georgia, as we'll as the rest
of the South, is the building of better
roads as Chairman John N. Holder, of
the Georgia Highway Department
pointed out today
The South has not made the prog
ress in the past in making the rural
life what it should be that the North
and West have done," said Chairr
Holder, ''and yet the Souths hope is
in its agricultural progress quite as
much as in its industrial growth. Good
roads in every part of the state, will
do more to extend and hasten the
farming progress in Georgia and to
make the rural home life of the state
what it should be than any other public
Improvement work that can lie under
taken"
The farmer, more than the town man
will profit and be benefited by better
roads in Georgia according to Atlanta
business men, for, as they point out,
they will put him more closely in
touch with the market centers, will en-
able him and his family to reach the
church and the community center with
less effort and annoyance. will enable
his children to get to and from school
more regularly and will encourage ru-
raj community spirit.
ITO the business men in the towns
good roads, of course" said an Allan.
ia business man discussing the sub
jetc in the capitol Hobbies, will mean
more business and an extension of
trade into territory that cannot be
reached while the roads are poor a
difficult to travel. The matter of road
improvement really touches every in
terest in state-farming, merchandise
ing, educational, religious, mining"

New York, Aug 2.-Politics are

a great deal of their fowwers' en-
thusiasm before it coulud be

cal speculation here during the lastt

When politics are in the air, dis
cussion follows some very interest,

Editorial Association members if New
York last week gave political leaders
the opportunity to feel the pulse of the
country as to sentiment for various
presidential possibilities and impos-
sibilities. -.
Comment and views naturally turned
to compromise candidates, particularly
in the Democratic party, where lead
ers thinks John W. Davis of West Vir-
ginia looms a strong dark horse" for
the nomination.
Davis Brilliant Lawyer.
A Dark-Horse Possibility.
a Conceded to be one of the most
brilliant omen ever suggested for the
presidency, Mr. Davis has a national
and international background equaled
by few candidate possibilities He is
at present head of the American Bar
Association.
Before Mr.. Davis's appointment as
Councillor General of the Department
of Justice several years ago, he was a
Congressman from West Virginia He
was chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee in the House of Representa-
tives, a remarkable speaker and per-
sonally very popular.
He left the Department of Justice
to- become American Ambassador to
Great Britain during the Wi1sonad
ministration.
Since leaving the government serv-
ice Mr.. Davis has been active in the
legal profession, making his home al
New York. Among his clients is the
banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co.
of Wall Street He is also General
Counsel for the Associated Press and

Southern Bankers
Propose New Plan
Actual and no Theoretical Collection
at Par

Washington, D. C., Aug "A new
plan for handling bank checks, de-
scribed by its proponents as one that
will mean actual and not theoretical
collection at par, was submitted today
to the Federal Reserve Board. The
suggestion, ocered by Charles C1ai-
borne, New Orleans; and L. R. Adams
Atlanta, representing the National and
Statae Bankers Protective Association,
was made when the board met to give
further consideration to its own plan
for enforced par clearance, the effec-
tive date of which was indefinitely
postponed last week.
The Claiborne-Adams program con-
templates the use of par clearance on
voluntary basis within each of the
twelve reserve districts but would per-
NIT collection charge on inter-dis-
trict transactions. 1t would take the
place of the recently promulgated Or
der of the reserve board, later with
drawn, prohibiting the reserve banks
from receiving on deposit or for col
lection checks drawn on banks which
are not members of the reserve system
and which at the same time, do not re-
NIT the face value of checks.
1t was contended by the sponsors that
while the check collection proposal of
the protective association would allow
banks to make the collection charge if
they saw fit, there would be such an
inducemnt for banks to remit at par
that the number handling checks with
out the service fee would increase.
\The belief prevailed in some quart
ers, however, that the scope of the
program was so broad as to make the
checks equal to currency within the
federal reserve district with a result
that the burden of expense in handling
the check would be placed on the re-
serve system. The expense, accord
ing to those of this view, ultimately
would come out of the govrnment's
franchise tax from the reserve banks.
The special committee of the reserve
board of governors which acts in adj
visory capacity with the board partic-
ipated in today's deliberations. While
no official Statement was Forthcoming
it was repordet that the governors did
not look with favor on the Claiborne
J Adams suggestion. 1t was said, how
ever, that two and possibly three board
members were inclined to support the
proposal. -" 81 red
