August is generally looked upon
as the greatest danger month for
babies. It is then that the dread
cholera infantum is most common
and fatal. The preventative meas
ure of this and all infantile disor
ders consist first and last of clean
liness, pure water, abundant fresh
air, good food, light clothing, clean
housing and plenty of sleep, best
taken in the open air. And an
occasional dose of BABY EASE,
a safe, harmless liquid remedy for
regulating the bowels. A few
doses in time may ward off a
serious spell of bowel complaint.

LITTLE ITEMS OF
STATE INTEREST
Augusta.—A negro stole a bicycle
from a local pawnbroker. The pawn
broker had hardly reached his place
of business when the negro rode up
and wanted to pawn the wheel.
Augusta.—This city is overrun with
ants, a fact that is causing housekeep
ers a great deal of trouble. The army
worm is also doing a great deal of
damage, both in the city and coun
try.
Jackson.—An early cotton crop Is
expected here and a great many bales
have been brought in the past week.
It is estimated that the crop will be
at least twenty-five per cent below
last year.
Forsyth.—Charles M. Taylor, repre
sentative from Monroe county to the
last legislature, has given his salary
for the entire session for the purpose
of buying school books for children
in the county who are unable to buy
them.
Stone Mountain.—A man supposed
to be Wilson Reid of Norfolk, Va.,
from papers found on his person, was
instantly killed at Stone Mountain
on August 28, when he plunged 300
feet off the side of the mountain to
his death.
Marietta.—J. H. Hardy, the young
teacher run over by an auto at Sandy
Plains school, died at a santiarium
here. His remains were taken to An
derson, S. C., for burial. Young Har
dy, who was 26 years old, was an effi
cient teacher.
Bainbridge.—Decatur county will be
among the leading wheat producing
counties of the state next year. Ex
periments made this year have shown
that wheat can be successfully grown
here, and next year will find many
farmers taking advantage of the les
sons learned by the ones who planted
grain this year.
Athens.—An aeroplane dropped to
the earth near Barberyille, a suburb
of Athens. Excitement was caused in
the neighborhood till it was learned
that It was a new model invention
just completed and being tried out
by Ben Eppes, of this place, who has
constructed With partial success sev
eral biplanes.
Atlanta.—Judge James K. Hines has
been reappointed by Governor Harris
for a term of four years as special
attorney to the state railroad commis
sion. Judge Hines has held the office
ever since it was created. He was
appointed by Gov. Hoke Smith In 1907
and was reappointed by Governor
Smith in 1911'.
. Atlanta.—James G. Woodward, may
or of Atlanta, and for whose recall
petitions are being circulated, says
that in the event he is recalled, he
will again be a candidate for the same
office. In order to get a vote on
whether or not the mayor should be
recalled, it is necessary to get at least
twenty-five per cent of the voters of
. the eity to sign the recall petition.
Atlanta.—J. E. Pennypacker of the
office of good roads of the United
States government, has written W.
Tom Winn, of the Fulton county com
mission, that a government efficiency
expert is en route to Atlanta with
plans and specifications for the pro
posed model convict camp to be inaug
urated by Fulton county and the fed
eral government.
Atlanta.—Work of constructing the
proposed "model” camp for Fulton
county convicts in co-operation with
the United States government, is ex
pected to begin within a few days,
according to reports from the office
of county commissioners. J. E. Pen-
nybacker of Washington, federal good
roads expert, has arrived in Atlanta
to supervise the inauguration of the
camp.
Marietta.—During the past week a
number of men who could not give
satisfactory reasons for their presence
here and who acted in a suspicious
manner have been given hours to
leave town. Eight men were locked
in an empty freight car, and shipped
out. These precautions are being
taken on account of the large num
ber of threatening letters received by
different people in regard to the
Frank lynching.
Columbus.—A considerable section
of East Highlands was annexed to
the city of Columbus. A census of
the new territory will be taken by the
city officials. Within two miles of
the court house in Columbus are about
forty-twO thousand people, and yet the
city limits are so restricted and so
much of the population resides on the
Alabama side of the river that the last
census' credited the city proper with
only 20,000 people.
Dahlonega.—A double daily auto
mail has been granted between Dah
lonega and Brockton. This schedule
will put return mail between Atlanta
ancf Dahlonega from 36 to 56 hours
quicker. The schedule begins Sep
tember 1. After this change people
here can mail a letter to Atlanta and
get an answer on the same day,
whereas it now usually takes three
days, and the best that' can be done
is two days.
Savannah.—Eight Spanish sailors of
th.e crew of the Spanish steamer Lou
isa refused to work and declared they
would not again go aboard the ship,
which they left, until differences be
tween themselves and the second and
third engineers of the vessel have
been satisfactorily settled.
Union City—The annual confer
ence and camp meeting of the Geor
gia conference of the Seventh Day Ad
ventists met here with delegates pres
ent from all 1 parts of Georgia. The
conference was in a city of tents
which were erected immediately op
posite the railroad station.
BOTH SIDES ARE
MAKING THREATS
Pistoffce Inspectors Are Investigating
Threatening letters In Connection
With Frank Lynching
NOTES VIOLATE POSTAL LAW
Governor Harris And Mayor Wood
ward Among Those Who Have Re
ceived Threatening Letters
Atlanta.—Postoffice officials have
announced that an investigation is be
ing made of anonymous threatening
communications received by officials
and others from different parts of the
country in connection with the lynch
ing of Leo M. Frank.
Governor Harris, former Governor
John M. Slaton, who commuted
Frank's death sentence to life ir‘
prisonment; Mayor Woodward of A*
lanta; Josiah Carter, editor of tbr’
Marietta Journal and Recorder, and
Herbert Haas of Atlanta, who was
one of Frank's attorneys, are among
those to whom letters and postcards
have been sent..
R. E. Barry, local postoffice inspec
tor, said that the communications ap
peared to come from persons on eith
er side of the case, some threatening
officials unless members of the mob
were punished, while others warned
against any effort to arrest the
lynchers. Failure to comply with the
advice, some of the letters said, would
result in death for the offender.
A large number of such letters have
been received by officials of Marietta,
near where Frank was lynched and
where Mary Phagan lived. ,
And The End Is Not Yet
Atlanta.—The Anti-Saloon League
and others who believe as they do
have announced that they expect to
carry the prohibition fight to a finish
in an effort to make Georgia as dry
as the proverbial bone.
Prohibitionists have been extremely
active since the adjournment of the
regular session, and claim that their
organization is stronger than when
the session adjourned.
Others who are regarded as prohibi
tionists, but who are not so extreme
in their views, claim that they want
prohibition legislation, but do not
want the kind the Stovall and Anti-
Saloon League hills will bring, and
that they will stand for the enact
ment of the Fullbright-Eakes bill,
which they contend is not "rabid,”
and will be both an improvement over
the present condition of affairs, and
are so drawn that they will stand the
tests of the courts.
Other members of the legislature in
sist that the extra session consider
the appropriation bill only.
Whether or not Governor Harris
will consider the wishes of either
faction is known only to the gover
nor himself, and he has not intimated
whether or not he will include any
thing in the call for the special ses
sion except the appropriation bill.
Regardless of what action he may
or may not take the extra session
promises to be an extremely live one.
Outing For Tift Veterans
Tifton.—The annual outing of the
Tift county camp of Confederate vet
erans will be held this year at Baker
Ford, on Little river, October 22-23.
The veterans will go out on the 23d
and spend the night in camp. Next
day they will he served with a barbe
cue and basket dinner by the Char
lotte Carson chapter, U. D. C. The
camp has tendered an invitation to
the retiring commander, J. W. Preston
of Macon, Commander-elect H. T.
Davenport of Americus and Mayor
Bridges Smith of Macon, adjutant gen
eral of the Georgia division of U. C.
V., to be present.
Law Will Bring Peace
Atlanta.—Speaking before the Amer
ican Bar association at San Francisco,
Gen. P. W. Meldrim. retiring presi
dent of that body, said: "If peace is
to be won we must enlist in the army
of peace the same strong forces that
gain victory in war. Peace never
comes by the destruction of the mili
tary pride and spirit of the people
or the pulling down of its national
heroes. A just war is better than dis
honorable peace. If the rights of na
tions are determined by law then the
violation of national rights will be re
duced to a minimum.”
1
Chamber To Select State Highways
Atlanta.—The Georgia chamber of
commerce has sent out invitations to
commercial and industrial organiza
tions in the state asking these bodies
to map out proposed automobile routes
from their respective counties to Ma
con. It is the plan of the state cham
ber at the annual meeting of the ex
ecutive committee in Macon, Septem
ber 29 and 30, to select twelve of the
routes to be worked into state high
ways.
Court Officials Memorialized
Forsyth.—After adopting memorials
relative to Judge R. T. Daniel and
Judge Thomas B. Cabaniss, the Mon
roe superior court adjourned over the
day, out of respect to the memory
of these members of the local bar.
Judge Daniel was stricken while still
the judge of this circuit, as he was
delivering an eloquent address before
the convention of Odd Fellows at
Fitzgerald. Captain Cabaniss was a
native of Forsyth and was. until re
cently, the judge of the city court of
Forsyth. *
