NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY Miser Could Not Understand Why He Should Mot Get Paid for Rats Bred on His Property. Gov. Moses Alexander of Idaho was condemning, at the governors' confer¬ ence in Boston, a particularly mean trust. "This trust’s methods,” he said, “re¬ mind me of old Sam Bemis, the miser. “Sam’s warehouse was overrun with rats, and he hired a rat catcher to clean them out. The rat catcher got to work early one morning, and late in the afternoon presented himself be fore the old man with a triumphant air, an enormous bag of dead rats on his back. “ ‘Well, Mr. Bemis,’ he said. “I’ve cleaned your place of rats accordin’ to contract, and you won’t have to bother about the dead corpses, either, for I’m takin’ them all away with me. Look a-here.’ “The rat cacher lowered the bag from his shoulder, opened it, and dis¬ played a huge mass of dead rodents. “ ’The bill, Mr. Bemis,’ he added, ‘is 12.25.’ ’’ “ ‘H’m, yes, $2.25,’ he said. ‘But don’t I get anything for the rats?’ ” Circumstantial Evidence. The kiddie chanced to sit near a plate containing apple parings. After a long wait, during which no offer was made of hospitality, the child finally blurted out: “I smell apples.” "Yes,” said the lady of the house, “you smell those parings.” "Parings nothing!” exclaimed the kiddie, "I smell whole apples!" Worse Yet. “Can’t you think of any worse pes! than the seven-year locusts?” “I should say so. Just think of a ten-year installment purchase!” Q THE WEEK’S EVENTS Important News of tbe State, Nation, and World Told in a Fow Lines - for Your Convenience. ROUND ABOUTJHE WORLD A Condensed Record of Happenings of Interest From All Points of the World. Foreign All doubts as to what road Greece will choose out of the muddle in the Balkan situation have been dispelled. Tbe king dissolved the chamber of deputies, despite the fact that all ele¬ ments hoped to avoid elections at the present crisis. From reports of the disaster re¬ ceived from Tunis, where many of the rescued were landed, it appears the Ancona attempted to escape and was overhauled. She was overhauled and shelled and the charge is made that even the life-boats were shelled. Many of the survivors were taken to port in a wounded condition. Official announcement is made in London A*at several British generals have been recalled from tbe front since the war began. The general have been recalled for various rea¬ sons, but none have been allowed to retire or resign. German losses in twenty-two days are reported to be 78,376 killed, miss¬ ing and wounded. It is stated that the total Prussian loss to date is 2,099,454. This does not include Prus¬ sians fighting at the Dardanelles. For the first time in the history of Japan, the people and the representa¬ tives of foreign governments were present at the coronation of a mikado, when Yoshihito, son of Mutsuhito, ac¬ ceded to the throne of Nippon, at which time he told the spirits of his ancestor that he was emperor. The Chinese government, it is an¬ nounced in Pekin, has awarded to George Bronson Rea, a United States engineer of Brooklyn, the grand prize for the best program for a national system of railways. Earl Loreburn, former English high chancellor, says that 15,000,000 men have been killed or disabled since the war began, and says that if the war continues indefinitely, “revolution or anarchy" is in' sure to sweep Europe. Germany, a note to the United States government, flatly denies tes¬ timony the English alleged 'jo have that been German given in courts offi¬ cers “prepared (false American pass ports and handed them to agents” and expresses doubt \that such testimony was ever given. Domestic The greatest volume of exports ever recorded at a siiugle N^w port in the Unit¬ ed States left York City during October. $175,000,oW, The totkl will not fall far short of against a total of $162,000,000 for tyie month of Sep¬ tember. .T»| u&l<m T5tr'ocier , ’o “District of Laki fTichigan,” a plot of filled-in land on le shore of Lake Michigan, in Chica, go, was raided by the police on the fcharge of violating the Sunday closing order, and a wom¬ an change was of slightly shots.! [wounded Streeter, in an ex¬ his wife and fifteen othersl were arrested and a quantity of guns And ammunition con¬ fiscated. Booker T. Washington, author negro edu¬ cator, lecturer, and recognized leader of his race, died at his home in Tuskegee, Ala., Sunday, November 14, shortly after* his arrival from New York City, where he had been attending important meetings. He had been in ok d health for several months. / John D. Rockefeller entertained 25,000 school children in Cleveland, Ohio, at the flower show. The chil¬ dren had a “bully” time, and John D’s face wore a broad smile. The formation of a sandbar in the Mississippi river in front of the Mem¬ phis, Tenn., wharves has almost com¬ pletely blocked the Memphis harbor. A tornado swept over parts of Kan¬ sas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Es¬ timates of the dead run as high as fifty or sixty. Several towns were wrecked. Fires broke out in the de¬ bris of several wrecked houses, hut a heavy rain quickly quenched the flames. It is reported in Galveston, Texas, that one hundred Villa officers have deserted him and accepted amnesty from General Carranza. The Mexican consul at Galveston thinks the rebel¬ lion will soon be settled. Rev. George Sweatt, a Wesleyan Meihodist preacher was murdered on a lonely highway near Hamlet, N. C., by a party or parties unknown. He was shot through the heart. The Ancona, the Italian vessel sunk by a submarine, played an important part in the rescue of passengers from the burning Fabre liner Sant’ Anna in mid-Atlanta last September 12. She rescued more than six hundred pas¬ sengers from the burning vessel. A big dye factory will be started at Kingsport, Tenn. A site of 200 acres has been purchased. The fac¬ tory will employ 2,000 skilled opera¬ tives when completed. Big business is anticipated, owing to the fact that importation of dyestuffs from Germa¬ ny has been stopped since the war began. A 60-year-old man hanged at Fort Worth, Texas, had his head entirely severed from cis body when the gal¬ lows was tripped. Railroads of the United States spent ten million dollars in newspaper ad¬ vertising during this fiscal year. Sixty-six amateur poets were mulct¬ ed of $10 each by John T. Hall, one of the many alleged fake music pub¬ lishers scattered throughout the coun¬ try, in a “poem contest.” They , will testify against him in his trial in New York City. Fifteen hundred poets are alleged to have been fleeced. Three negroes were hanged at Crawfordville, Ga., for the murder of a young North Carolinian. Twelve men and girls lost their lives in a fire that destroyed an old four-story brick and wooden factory in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn borough, New York. THE ELLUA<¥ The exports from Philadelphia dur¬ ing October were greater than those of any month in the records of the Philadelphia customs house. Exports for the month amounted to more than twelve million dollars. Exports from the customs district of Florida for the month of October totalled $2,262,884, a gain of 100 per cent over those for October of last year, and a balance in favor of Flor¬ ida of nearly one and a half million dollars. Washington The Austro-Hungarian embassy de¬ nies the published charges of Doc¬ tor Goricar that the Austrian con¬ sulates in the United States were “hot-beds of propaganda” for foment¬ ing strikes in munitions plants. The president has issued a state¬ ment that the action of Postmaster A. M. Kloepfer of Winnetka, 111., in removing his assistant from office be¬ cause he critized President Wilson's engagement to be married was taken “without authority or knowledge of the president.” The emperor of Japan sent a cable¬ gram of thanks to President Wilson for his felicitation on the accession of the emperor to the throne, and expresses the hope that the amicable relations now existing between the two countries may continue,, The plots to destroy the munition plants has been laid *o Bernstorff, the German ambassador to the United States. The former Austrian consul general at San Francisco has confess¬ ed that the effort to destroy muni¬ tions plants and fomenting strikes was carried on under the supervision of Bernstorff. The Austrian embassy says Gorricar’s statement has no foun¬ dation in fact, and charges that he left his post on leave and failed to return. About twenty-seven Americans are. believed to have been lost with the torpedoed Italian liner Ancona, ac¬ cording to a cable io the state de¬ partment from Ambassador Page. The nation’s corn crop this year, while not the largest in the history of the country, is the most valuable. It is stated that it will be worth not less than two billion dollars. News of the sinking of the Ancona precipitated a sensation in Washing¬ ton. It is clearly shown the vessel could not have been carrying contra¬ band, and there is apparently no rea¬ son for the act. It probably foreshad¬ ows another long controversy between the Teutonic allies, which may assume a critical aspect before it is finished. Rigid investigation will be made as to whether the vessel was sunk with¬ out warning. European War Thirty persons are dead in Verona, Italy, as a result of three Austrian aeropjanes dropping bombs in that city. This is the second time Verona has been raided since Italy entered the war. So far\as the American ambassador to Italy has been able to ascertain from official reports sent to the Ital¬ ian government, there were twelve American frUcn-^hh citizens aboard the Ancona ,,c.- ,-tujiK. Or ’ i.’iesd only two wore saved. Von Kindeirburg has abandoned all hope of capturing Riga and Dvinsk, and is falling back. The Russians claim to have captur¬ ed 130,000 prisoners in their recent smashes at the German line in the east. ') Heavy losses were suffered by the Germans in the fighting around Kem mern and in the district Ixskull, where, Petrograd dispatches an¬ nounce, ten German attacks were hurl¬ ed back with frightful carnage. The British steamship Rhineland has been sunk, with only one surviv¬ or landed. The allies continue to land troops at Saloniki, despite protest to the Hel¬ lenic government from the Teutonic allies. It is definitely announced in Rome that Italy will intervene in the Bal¬ kan situation. The Russians in the district of Riga and Dvinsk continue to plow holes in the German lines, and are proving that the Germans have made a dan¬ gerous move by sending part of the eastern army into Serbia and to the Dardanelles. The Italians operating in Austria continue on the aggressive and have added a new mountain position to their gains in Trentino. Another German rush is expected in the western war zone before the winter sets in, and the Franco-Eng lish armies are on the alert. There have been only a few minor attacks in the western war zone for some time, and a big battle is ex¬ pected at any time. The Italian, French and British have inaugurated a strong campaign to capture the Austro-German subma¬ rines operating in the Mediterranean. Field Marshal von Hindenburg re¬ ports successes in the heavy fighting near Dvinsk. It is reported in Saloniki that the total number of allies landed is three hundred thousand, and that more are arriving daily. In addition to the Ancona and France, the British steamers Moorina, Californian and Clan McAlister have been sunk and the British transport Mercedes shelled with a loss of twen¬ ty-three men killed, fifty wounded and thirty missing, in the last ten days in the Mediterranean. The Russians continue their sharp and unexpected attacks at various points along the eastern front of the war zone. They claim to have brok¬ en the Teutonic line in two places. Italy is threatening to invade Alba¬ nia in an effort to aid the stricken Serbians. A large submarine flying the Austri¬ an flag has sunk the Italian steamer Ancona from Naples for New York. Shells or topedoes were used, as some of the survivors are wounded. The steamer could not have carried con¬ traband, as she was bonnd for New York. The vessel was valued at over a million dollars. There are reported 270 survivors of the 582 persons who were aboard. Beyond the fact that Lord Kitchener has departed for the Near East, there is little news from the allied side respecting the Balkans. PR 0 H 1 Agreement As To Become Effective Settled MAY ATTACH REFERENDl If Referendum Clause Should tached Voters Would Have portunity To Ratify Action Atlanta.—Senate bill No. 2, whii eliminates liquor clubs and near-be| saloons in Georgia after May 1, 19 was put upon iN final reading a was'passed in the house by a v. of 142 to 22. The rules limited deb on the bill to one one-half h for each side. Y The 'ha.-rity wing given the opetMng.' -be Tfh*o-Av>, the second, ana the so-called bright wing the closing speech, report of the --rules committee unanimously adopted immedia upon its presentation and Judge U kins, speaking for the majority, ignated Culpepper of Meriwether the first speaker. Mr. Culpepper stated blamed that the for prohj bitionists had been for] ing the extra session and that tb were willing to assume that respoi sibility. He sqjd that the bill nov] before the house was the only on that would positively prohibit locke l clubs, near-beer saloons and blind tj gers. It was „drawn up by Judi Weakly of Alabama, and had been ap¬ proved of by the Anti-Saloon League, he said. Mr. Oliver of Richmond was the next speaker and urged the general assembly to make the law effective October 1, 1916, instead of May 1. He argued for this extra time on the ground that j great deal of resi¬ dence and business property was un¬ der lease to those engaged in the liquor business, and that most of these leases exifire October 1. He also said that his plan would give the state $300,001? additional revenue and that it, would take this extra time to properly^djust effort made affairs. to have A strong was the sale of malt beverages containing not more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol legalized without payment of revenue taxes. An effort was also made to have a referendum clause at¬ tached to the billio submit it to the voters at the next general election. This amendment would not prevent the law going into effect May 1, but would render it void should the ma¬ jority vote against it at the general election. , Latimer Gives Cheque For $878.85 Atlanta.—P. B. Latimer, keeper of public buildings ani grounds, turned over to the state treasurer his cheque for $S78.S5 to cover the balance of that pari'ment P.oriitm of Uat^ifet^se E. S. Holcombe, to b>s fte, charged to former chief clerk* and which the state had called on Captain Latimer to make good. The showing has been made in the reply of Latimer that he will contest about $1,600 of the claim made by the state. The auditor show¬ ed a total traceable shortage of about $4,400, on which Captain Latimer has now, it is stated, returned to the state about sixteen hundred dollars. Commission Refuses Increase In Rates Atlanta.—The paction recently filed by the express company with the state railroad commissidn, asking permis¬ sion for a graduated increase in its rates on intrastate packages in Geor¬ gia, has been declined, according to announcement made by the state rail¬ road commission. The action of the railroad commission in this connec¬ tion does not make final disposition of the case, however, but simply main¬ tains the present rates until June 30, 1916, at which time the express com¬ pany, if it so desires, may reopen the case upon the basis of business condi¬ tions at that time. The Stripling Pardon Atlanta.—While no definite informa¬ tion is forthcoming from the state prison commission as to just when it will finally hand down its decision in the case of applications for pardon of Edgar Stripling, the state prisoner who has become more or less famous throughout the country as a modern Jean Valjean, there is reason to be¬ lieve that the decision of the commis¬ sion will go to the governor between this time and Christmas. No Warehouse At Present Session Atlanta.—On account of develop¬ ments of the past few days, particu¬ larly the discussion at the state meet¬ ing of the Farmers’ Union, it is high¬ ly probable that there will be no state warehouse legislation at this session of the assembly,' but that a special commission or committee will he pro¬ vided for to go more .thoroughly into the matter by the next session. Machine Gun At, State Prison Farm Atlanta.—A machine gun, capable of firing 250 shots per minute, was sent to the state prison farm at Milledge ville by Adjt. Gen. J. Van Holt Nash of the National Guard of Georgia. The gun was sent to Warden James Smith with instructions to use it, if in the future attempts were made from the outside to remove prisoners from the farm, which officials have declared was built for the purpose of “confin¬ ing prisoners too weak to work on the roads and not for repelling an at¬ tack.” Appointments Made By Governor Atlanta.—Governor Harris has made the following appointments: Clarence T. Guyten to be the solic¬ itor of the city court of Springfield, in Effingham county, to succeed the late Solicitor Daniel G. Heidt. Attorneys J. A. Drake and Lamar Hill of Atlanta and T. H. Crawford of Blue Ridge, reappointed as special assistants to Attorney General Walker in the state’s litigation with the Duck town Sulphur, Copper and Iron com¬ pany. Cl _ have imuch life within^XHff was spent under the old regime of strictest prison dis¬ cipline, Blinkinship, or “1395,” has never had a black mark on his rec¬ ord. Because of this unusual record he was to have appeared before the commission in January to ask for pa¬ role. “Thirteen hundred and ninety five,” together with two other trusties, has been in charge of the chicken farm outside the prison confines for the past year. One of the officers stated that it was hard to believe that the man had deliberately run away. Successful Fair At Decatur Decatur.—A new record for unique and distinctive fair was established by DeKalb county at the one-day fair at Decatur, which will be the home of the Weekly Press Association at its next meeting. It was a free fair, where you could not buy anything but a postage stamp. The fair was prac¬ tically held on wheels and w&s seen by 30,000 people. A great basket din¬ ner, free, fed 15,000 people. The pa¬ rade was three miles long and- re¬ quired one hour and ten minuted to pass a given point. Three hiindted floats, five thousand Mhool children and eV'er^ depaiAment eff DeKalfb cduh ty was shown in the mammoth pa¬ geant. Want Savannah River Deepened Savananh.—The movement started by Augusta and Savannah business rnen, for the purpose of bringingXinflu ence and pressure to bear upon the government until a seven-foot depth of water is obtained in the Savannah riv¬ er between the two cities, was much discussed in business circles. Capt. J. D. Twiggs of Augusta was selected temporary chairman of the organiza¬ tion, and Mr. J. H. Eve of Savannah temporary secretary. Provision was made for another meeting at a later date at which time the temporary of¬ ficers will announce permanent offi¬ cers and directors, one of whom will be chosen from each organization rep¬ resented at the meeting. 3 Blacks Murdered By Own Race Dublin.—Three negroes were killed in this county several miles from Dub¬ lin. Jerry Hurst, a negro in jail here, has confessed to lying in wait for Plummer Booker and Rebecca Robin¬ son, negroes, as they came from a negro frolic near Rents, and to shoot¬ ing Booker dead with a shotgun. Re¬ becca ran, but he pursued and killed her with a pistol. Later he was aiding in a hunt for the guilty party when sheriff’s deputies decided to arrest him on suspicion. In the meantime a coroner’s jury had ordered Joe Tucker held for the murder, but later Hurst confessed and Tucker released. Hurst had a grudge against the negroes who were killed. Prepare For Georgia Products Day Atlanta.—-In response to the proc¬ lamation of Governor Nat E. Harris calling on the people of Georgia to observe fittingly Georgia Products Day, Thursday, November 18, many communities in the state are making elaborate plans for dinners and barbe¬ cues, in several cities to be augment¬ ed by parades of floats exhibiting Georgia products. Audit Authorized By Senate Atlanta.—Adopting the Walker res¬ olution to authorize the governor to have an audit made of all state de¬ partments and passing the bill pro¬ viding for the protection of the shrimp Industry, which bill was amended so as to permit owners of land to fish on their own property at all times. The resolution providing for the audit carries no appropriation, being word¬ ed so as to leave the matter of mak¬ ing the payment to the next session of the general assembly in case the audit is ordered by Governor Harris. Confederate Veteran Answers Taps Tennille.—Tennille’s grand old man, capt. James D. Franklin, died here after a short illness. He had spent his whole life here and had done more for the town than any other citizen. He gave sites for the Method¬ ist and Baptist churches, and several years ago when an Episcopal church was planned he gave land for that church, and, together with four mem¬ bers of the family, donated, from the Franklin estate, the city park. He was a gallant Confederate veterans.

VKXS^SALVE How to Heal Skin Diseases A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ring¬ worm, rashes and similar itching, burn¬ ing skin troubles. J' . At any reliable • druggist’s get a jar of resinol ointment and a cake of resi¬ nol soap. These are not at all expen¬ sive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thor¬ oughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of tbe resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage—if necessary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again. Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that “Anuric” is the most powerful agent in dissolving uric acid, as hot water melts sugar, besides being absolutely harmless and is endowed with other properties, for it preserves the kid¬ neys in a healthy condition by thor¬ oughly cleansing them. Checks the de¬ generation of the blood-vessels, as well as regulating blood pressure.
