Elephants Gather for
Dance in the JungleS

Few travellers in India have seen the
periodic dances enjoyed by the ele-
phants that roam the Jungles of that
country. But il is said that at stated
times all the elephants for miles
around will gather at certain spot
and hold a dance. They choose a clear
ed space in the deep forest. W avlng
their trunks and stamping their ieet
they keep perfect time, though they
have no music to guide their move
ments. The huge beasts love to dance,
it is said, and have their favorite steps.
Kipling, in one OF his books, writes
about the dance OF the elephants,
which Is described as one OF the
strangest sights in the world.

Lake City, Utah, and Ely, New. The
! Lincoln highway starts at Times
square, Forty-second street and Broad
way, New York city, and after pass
Ii ing through eleven states reaches its
terminus at Lincoln Park, overlook
ing the Golden Gate, San Francisco.
Another Confederate Highway.
1t is by cooperation such as the
Jefferson Davis Highway Association
asks that another great transConti-
mental highway has been put into sue
cessful process OF construction. | re-
fer to the Lee highway, socalled in
memory of Robert +. Lee. The Lee
Highway Association was only organ
lied three or four years ago, to con-
struct the highway, and so rapid has
been the formulation of plans and the
prosecution of the work that its en-
thusiastic founders anticipate the com
pletion OF the project in the near flu
ture The Lee highway will extend
from New York to San Francisco by
way of Washington, D. c.; Memphis
and San Diego. On leaving Washing
ton the highway will pass by Lees
former house at Arlington, through
the Manassas battlefield the heart of
the fox-hunting country; over the
crest of the Blue Ridge. by the way
of Luray Cave and on into the ia
nous Shenandoah valley, thence to
Stanton, the former home of Wood
row Wilson; proceed on the majes-
tic natural bridge to Chattanooga and
on to the Golden Gate of the resplen
dent west.
Biggest Thing in Sight.
If the Lincoln highway and the Lee
highway can be built by earnest et-
fort and hearty cooperation why not
the Jefferson Davis highway, another
worthy work of civilization, develop
ment, progressiveness and patriotism?
The construction of, the Jefferson Da-
Wis highway should appeal to every
enterprising and patriotic mind, not
only in Georgia, but along the entire
route from Vicksburg to Richmond.
A wonderful opportunity is at hand to
obtain a highly beneficial and greatly
serviceable highway. This road is the
biggest thing in sight for the section
of Georgia through which it is ex-
pected to pass.
The president of the Jefferson Da-
Wis Highway Association is Mr.. Will
liam r. Bowen of Fitzgerald, one of
south Georgia's leading fnanciers and
most influential and progressive citi-
zens. Mr.. Isadore Gelders, also Of
Fitzgerald, is secretary. He is the ac-
complished and wide-awake editor Of
the Leader Enterprise, and is known
as one of the states most Jealous and
ndefatigabe journalistic spirits. It
was his active brain that conceived
and his patriotic heart that untiringly
urges the construction of the JefFer-
son Davis highway.
A Rally and Meeting.
The Jefferson Davis highway from
Vicksburg to Richmond will be ap-
proximately 1900 miles including the
link to Savannah. Fitzgerald is prac-
tically in the center of the route. | am
informed that six of the seventeen
miles of the highway through Telfalr
county have been completed.
Probably there will be a rally some
where on the route in Georgia on
April 26th-Memorial Day-and a
meeting in Montgomery, Ala, on
June 3rd, Jefferson Davis birthday,
to which delegations from the various
states through which the highway
will pass will be invited.

First u. S. Cotton Bought
Blu Russia Since the Wn
Consignment of $4,000 Bales Purchas-
ed Through Bremen Exchange.

BERLIN.-The first cargo OF
American cotton bought on Russian
account since the soviet revolution IS
reported to have left Bremen for Rus
STA in the shape of consignment Of
$4,000 bales.
The shipment was made on a Rus
sian steamer which is said to have
been set aside exclusively for the car
rying OF such cargoes. The purchase
was the first made by Russia through
the cotton exchange since the war,
Trade circles call attention to the
fact that Russia's textile plants have
been able to increase their production
TO such an extent during the last yeal
that the cotton yarn in Turkestan, al
though now greater than ever, is prov
ing insufficient to meet the Russian
demand.

HOUSE LITERACY
 MEMORIAL FAILS
 TO PASS SENATE
F oster Llteracy Memorial Loses in Senate Satur-
 day on Tie Vote.

The Foster literary memorial was killed in the Senate Saturday after noon, failing on final passage by a vote of four to four. The same oppo. sition dhat killed Representative Eos ter's bill imposing literacy qualifiea. ticns on electors was responsible for the defeat of the memorial, Senators Aver, Dimond, Chamberlin and Hunt voting for, and A1drich. Brown, Dunn and Snodgrass against passage.
 The Senate's action on the memo rial was marked by total absence of lengthy debate. Ar. Dimond ex- plained its purpose briefly. He point ed out that some Of the opposition to the bill on the same subject had been supposedly based on an opinion that the Territorial Legislature had no right to pass such law. No such fault could be found with tAe memorial.
 Supporters of the memorial while not numerous enough to put i through. were able, however, to pre- vent it's being mntilated by amend ment. Senator Dunn sought to amend by adding clause saying: "Yonr memorialists do not ask that Or ganic Act be amended to the extent of giving the Legislature authority too pass any law in enirayention to the Fourteenth or ,Flfteenth Amend ments to the Constitution of the United States of America. Ncr t3 pass any law abridging the rights of any citizen of the United States to vote" This amendment was lost by a vote of four to ter.
 Municipal regulation of public ser vice corporations came 10 the front in consideration by the House of the Senate's bill revising laws pertaining to mun.c .palities when it came up on second reading Saturday afternoon.

Hair that loses It's color and lus- tre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifelAss, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair.

The discussion centered largely on reasonable rates and the interest to be allowed such corporations in their investment in arriving at reasonable rates to be charged for service to the public.
 In the Senate 10 per cent had been fixed as a minimum return on capi- tal invested in public service corpora tons. The House, after defeating an amendment offered by Mr. Policy striking out all reference to such re- turn. adopted another amendment by him cutting the rate to 6 per cent. This was the only important amend lient adopted. one or two others which were passed being confined to correcting errors in typewritins and construction. The bill passed it, sec ond reading and was scheduled flo come up today for final passage.
