he deliberately posed in the open bow of the yacht for group of photogra- rhers who were on an adjoining tug aud thereby won the. undying gratitude otnien who but few moments before had been cursing their luck for keeping them off the Berengaria and away from the prince. Wales not only posed, He acted a little. He took off his hat, whipped it above his head a couple of times and then went through the mo- tions of waving ''hello" to New York. the stunt that every arriving celebrity is supposed to perform.
 With five airplanes buzzing overhead, as many puffing tugs in the water and a fleet of power boats lodging in and out and around, the Berengaria brought Wales into New York ,harbor in the most riotous arrival that ever occurred here, considering the fact that the plans called for an inconspicuous welcome. Every girl in the five boroughs of Manhattan who for any reason what soever could work her way onto one of the vessels that was privileged to come alongside the BerenEaria did 50. There were not many of them for the ! rules in such instances are strict.

 Two boats were required to move the prince and his party to Glen Cove, L. l., the smudgy-white excursion steamer, Machigonne nuzzled against the black sides of the Berengarih and the Black Watch was moored to the MacMgonnS. Scores of pieces of baggage went onto the Machigonne, much of it bearing an "E," which probably stood for Edward. After the trunks and bags and cases had been transferred, Wales, General Trotter and Captain Lascelles, his aides, filed onto the Machigonne and across heps dAeks to the Black Watch. They were followed by Lord and Lady Louis Monntbatten. In another minute the prince was standing in the bow and the Black Watch sped away for Gren Cove.

TERRELL COUNTY GETS
$1,8O3 FROM GAS TAX
GEORGIA COUNTIES GET $685.
791 FOR ROADS AS PAYMENT
FOR THIRD QUARTER.

Checks aggregating 1925, 7H.SS, and
breaking all previous records, have
been mailed to the various counties
of Georgia for road and bridge work
out of the revenues for the third quar-
ter from the state gasoline tax. A
check for Terrell's part of the fund,
amounting to $1,S0393, has been re-
ceived by County Treasurer A. J..
Hill.
This payment brings the total paid
to the counties from this source to
more than million dollars, while an
other million has gone to the high
way department and million to the
state treasury since the three-cent
gasoline tax was put into effect in
October, 1928.
The gasoline tax act provided that
onethird of the proceeds should go
to the counties directly for road and
bridge construction, one-third to the
state treasury until the Western and
Atlantic railroad rental notes are re-
tired, and one-third to the state high
way department for road purposes.
The total road mileage in the state
certified to the treasurer by the high
way department was 6,248.8 miles, and
the money was appropriated to the
various counties on the basis of their
mileage, according to j. o. Anderson,
assistant state treasurer, who worked
out the figures.
Emanuel county, with the largest
road mileage in the state, received

Work of Improving City's
Waterworks System Begun
Iron Pipe Will Replace Old Mains,
And Extensions Will Be Made.

The work of improving and extend
ing the city's waterwork system has
been begun, and workmen are now
busy on Third avenue between Main
and Stonewall streets. Excavations are
being made, and in few days the
actual work of laying the pipe will
be begun
The city will spend $4,000, for
which bonds were recently issued, in
old mains with iron pipe and
extending the system to sections of
the city that are now without water
service.
All dead ends will be taken out,
which will give much greater water
pressure in fighting fire. 1t is under
stood that when the work is finished
the fire insurance companies will re-
duce their rates in the city.

SUBSTITUTE FARM
RELIEF BILL MAY Be
RUSHED THROUGH

Washington, June S.-Less than two
hours after the McNary-Haughen farm
relief bill had been sent into the dis
card today by a vote of 224 to 154, Re
publican leaders in the House had ten
tatively agreed on a substitute.
The compromise probably will be out
lined to President Coolidge tomorrow
and it was indicated that If it receiv-
ed his approval an attempt will be
made to enact it into law before Con-
gress adjourns Saturday.
Details remain to be worked out, but
rough draft OF the new plan would
place the marketing abroad Of certain
surplus farm products, limited to
wheat. -four. livestock and meat pro-
ducts, in the hands Of the war finance
corporation, which would be authorized
to buy from farmers at prices in ad-
vance of market quotations.
Funds of the corporation would be
available for purchases, and losses sus-
tanned in foreign sales would be charg-
ed against them. The life OF the
emergency act would be limited to July
1, 1925.
While the substitute abandons prac-
tically all the features of the McNary-
Haughen bill, those who assisted in
drafting 1t declared 1t carried out the
measures principles. The House vote
today clearly indicated, they said, the
futility of obtaining favorable action
on modification Of the McNary-
Haughen bill.

CONGRESS Will END
ON SATURDAY EVENING
RUNNING MATE FOR
COOLIDGE THE MAIN
JOB At CLEVELAND

Cleveland, Ohio. June 3-(By A..
P)-One week from the day the
Republican national convention as
sembles for business. everything has
practically been settled with the ex-
ception Of finding nominee for the
vice presidency.
1t Is a situation without a parallel
since 1904 when the Republicans
marched to Chicago and nominal ted
Theodore Roosevelt by reclamation.
1nasmuch as no arrangements have
been made to place Senator johnson
OF California in nomination for the
presidency, there is no boubt that
President Coolidge could be chosen
by reclamation were It not for the
presentation Of the name of Senator
Lafollette by the Wisconsin delega-
ton.
The last important details for the
convention machinery were perfect
ed today. so far as they can be in
pre-convention arrangements by
party leaders, with the selection of
former Congressman Frank w. Mon
dell, of Wyoming. as permanent
chairman of the convention and the
choice of Charles B. Warren, am
bassador to Mexico, as chairman of
the resolutions committee which will
draft the party platform.
Even contests among contending
delegations as will come before the
national committee tomorrow do not
involve any question of convention
votes for President Coolidge. In ev-
cry case both sets of contending dele
gates are for Coolidge and their con-
tests range around local fights for
control of the party machinery in
their home states.
Aside from the presentation of La
follette's name and the assured pro-
posal by the Wisconsin delegation of
certain substitutions and changes in
the platform as it will be sent to the
convention by the resolutions commit
tee, there isn't ripple in sight for the
Coolidge forces. What at first looked
like five-day convention ending on
Saturday, June IA, now promises to be
q three-day affair winding UP with a
night session on Thursday, June L.
. Nobody wants to nominate a presiden-
tial candidate on Friday, the 18th, ant
nobody sees the need of prolonging the
business until Saturday, so the plar
is to speed up affairs and get through
Thursday.
Unless unforeseen bitches develop
and there are none in sight, the pro-
gram will be about like this:
