POOLE May PROCLAIM

City Physician VIII Ask Executive
10 Set Aside All Next Week
AS Clean-Uup Season

DR.. j. w. Chambiss city physician.
stated today that he will ask Mavor
j. E. Poole to proclaim next ween
"Clean-Up Week" in Americus, with
especial effort made by everybody
It is confidently expected Mayor
Poole will concur in the request.
j. c. Arlington, special plain
clothes officer, has been designated

holders who have an unusual amount
of this can secure a special wagon
by telephoning City Clerk Dudley
Gatewood. City wagons will take
trash from the curb only; they are
not permitted to go into yards after
trash, and householders are request
ed to place such material on the out

sidewalk and the curb mot in the
ditch, where it may become a real
menace to health.

c. D. P. TARIFF BLAMED
FOR SUGAR PRICES
Has Given Profiteers and Garnb-
lers Free Hand in Gouging
Customers

WASHINGTON, April 18-Mil-
lions of American housewives who
have been compelled to pay exorbi-
tant prices for sugar during the last
seven or eight weeks are, receiving a
costly illustration of the effect which
the Republican tariff is having on
living expenses and a useful lesson
in dealing with an economic subjec
which is sure to be one of the capi-
tai isues of the next presidential
campaign.
The Fordney- -McCumber tariff has
been carried into the average Ameri-
can home in every package of su-
gar since the profiteers and stock
jobbers began their orgy of exploita-
tion. The result of every discussion
Of the price of sugar has been a CON
demnation of the tariff. Women have
been made to understand that the
tariff has given the profiteers and
gamblers free hand in gouging con
sumers.
It is this reaction which the profit
teering in sugar has had on the
American housewife that has fright
ened Republican leaders, including
President Harding, and promoted
them to issue statements and offer
explanations designed to furnish an
alibi for the Fordney-M -McCumber ta-
riff. They realize, along with Of
ficials Of the Republican National
Committee, that women have votes
with which they can and will rebuke
the administration for its response
bility for the Fordney-McCumber
tariff and the profiteering which it
inspires

GEORGIA GOLD NINE
MAY Be RE-OPENED
BY BIG CAPITALISTS
Option Has Been Obtained Upon
Parks Mine In McDuffie
County
EXTENSIVE PLANS MADE
Mining Engineers Say Deposits
Are Similar To Those Of All
Gold Producing States

ATLANTA, April i8.-Interest in
gold mining in Georgia has been re-
vivcd and extensive plans are now
being made to reopen some of the
old mines, according to reports re-
ceived here.
It is not improbable that gold min
ing may soon be added to the grow
ing list of profitable industries in
the state.
1t was announced here today that
the Parks mine Of the Cambria Gold
Mining Company, in McDuffie coun-
ty viii soon be put in operation by
eastern capital. Option on the prop
erty has been obtained by f. M.
Dancy, of Atlanta, representing large
interests outside Of the state.
Mining engineers familiar with the
Georgia fields concur in the opinion
that if deposits of a similar char
acter existed in any of the more inn
portant gold producing states Of the
a est they would have been much
lore extensively exploited, accord
ing to the Geological Survey of
Georgia.
The Parks mine it is stated, lies
in Psychological formation known as
the Pref -Cambrian This formation
is said to be coming to the front as
producer Of gold ores. The Home
stake mine in South Dakota and the
Hollinger mine in Northern Ontario,
two Of the largest gold mines in the
world, are in the Pre-Cambrian.
The ores of the Homestake mine
are said to average from $3.50 to
$4 ton in gold; those Of the Holm.
ger mine about $3.50 a ton. The
average Of the ores mined from the
wiltshire vein of the Parks mine in
Georgia is said to be $53 a ton,
ana the general average of the Viii
shire and the Parks veins in McDuf-
fie county, the two that have been
principally exploited, is said to be
close to $50 ton.
Considering the limited amount Of
mining done heretofore and The neg
lect to save the gold in the sulpbides,
the indications are, the Georgia geo
logical survey says, that the values
in the Parks mine must have been
considerably higher than the average
of the gold that has been mined in
Georgia.

N hats Going
on in the
World
BY CHARLES P. STEWART

The concession granted by Turkey
to an American syndicate to make
the Near East over into something
really up-to-date means more, maybe
than folk generally realize.
In fact, the syndicate will lbe un-
dertaking one of the biggest pieces of
work in the history of the world.
The Turks handling of the rival
interests which have been trying to
get control of their resources has
been funny, in its way.
For years these interests were
English, German, French and Rus
sian.
The rivalry had much to do with
bringing on the war.
The war eliminated Germany. The
revolution, by giving Russia no end
of troubles at home, weakened her as
an international factor. But the
struggle between England and
France was bitterer than ever. Nor
was Russia entirely out Of it. Her
claims worried the other two coun-
tries diplomats a good deal.
1t was around this three-cornered
dispute that the last Near Easteyn
conference at Lausanne revolved.
The United States merely looked on.

MAKING A
COUNTRY OVER.

Now Turkeys turned around and
handed over to Americans the
Chester syndicate-practically every
thing the others were squabbling
about.
How big the concession is may be
judged from all it includes;
Oil lights, mining right, COM
mercial rights, railroad building
rights, contract to transform Angora,
the new Turkish capital into a mod
ern city contract to delivery
Turkeys seaport, build docks
dredges harbors, construct tren1in-
ais = contracts in short to do
everything necessary to set the
Turks or their feet as an important
agricultural commercial, industrial
people.
If no hitch occurs, the concession,
WHICH the Turkish parliament has rat
flied in due form insures American
predominance in the Near East for
a generation to come-a good deal
more so than any League of Nations
mandate" could have done.

FRANCE FILES
HER PROTEST.

France has come through with the
first protest.
1t was filed by General Pelle, Gallo
representative on the interallied
commission in Constantinople.
Pelle says the American concession
infringes one which the since deposed
sultan gave to the French. The
Turks answer that they're paying no
attention to what the deposed sultan
did-he was just the allies hired
man when he did it.
It's fully expected that the English
and Russians will protest, too, but it
can be taken for granted that the
Turks will say the same thing to
them that they've said to the French
Of course, one of the protesting
governments weaknesses is that they
can't agree among themselves. They
oppose the United States, but they
oppose one another, as well.
Interested in the American con-
cession are some very well known
men, like Admiral Colby NJ. Chester
and General George w. Goethals.
Kermit Roosevelt's name is mention
ed also.

FRENCH FEAR OF

Teuton Foe
MUST GET LIFE INSURANCE
Can't Secure 1t From u. S. and
Britain, So VIII Make II
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Special Cable to NEA Service and
The Times Recorder.
DUSSELDORF, April 18.-Iha
one big stumbling block in the way
Of peace in the Ruhr-and in Europe
lis Frances fear of a reconstructed
Germany, again powerful and capable
of annihilating France if left to face
her alone.
President Wilson saw this when he
agreed with Britain to stand by
France in the event of unprovoled
aggression on the part of Germany.
Nothing short of guarantee against
such fate will lever bulge France
from astride the Rhine.
If Great Britain will not give it
to her, nor America, nor the two to-
gether, then France will follow cut
a policy all her own-a safety first
poHcy-from which nothing shors Of
superior force can turn her.
That is my outstanding impression
after visits to Paris, London, Berlin
and the cluster of German Pitts
burgs which merge one city into am
other, here in the Ruhr.
Washington Busy
| have means of knowing the GOV
ernment at Washington as well as
that at London constantly is putting
out feelers both in Paris and Berlin.
Berlin, l know, is anxious to reach
a settlement. And so is Paris. The
itch is not over the actual question
of reparations, for Premier Poincare
is still willing to accept $50, 1000, ,o00,-
GOO gold marks in addition to what
Germany has already paid on ae-
count.
The problem which the United
States and Britain hae to solve, if
they are to act as arbitrators in the
Ruhr dispute, is how France may be
secured against another German IN
vasion.
Whatever objections Premier Poin-
care may have to Secretary Hughes
plan to have a commission Of experts
ascertain how much Germany can
pay are not because he fears they,
would fix upon too small sum but
because the plan does not take into
consideration Frances national se-
surity.
One Solution
A combination of the Hughes plan
to determine the question of repara-
tions and Lord Robert CeciPs sur
gestion that the League Of Nations
work out 2 scheme which would sat-
isfy Frances anxietys for her own
safety is not an imposibility.
But one thing is certain. France,
left by he'd two strongest allies
America and Britain-to face Ger
many alone, has leaped astride the
Rhine.
She is in the Ruhr, Germany's one
big industrial center, without whieh
Germany would find it very difficult
to wage a successful war.
And there France will stay until
either she can get the life insurance
she is after or until she hammers out
a guarantee for herself and in her
own way, let anyone object who may.
