THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1918.
The Glorious Fourth—This gener
ation is at last beginning to realize
the significance of Independence. To
day will doubtless be celebrated with
a more gneulne spirit of enthusiasm
than it has been for many yean.
DOOLY DOES HER DUTY
The W. S. S. Campaign Is practical
ly over and although the full quota
has not yet been subscribed, no one
will deny that the work done has
been done in a highly satisfactory
manner.
When the amount allotted to Dooly
was made known, the first impression
upon the men of the committee, who
were the representative business men
of the county and acquainted with the
county’s financial status, was that it
tered upon the work with the full as
surance that it meant a supreme test
of their ability as solicitors, to raise
the amount. The committeemen al
most to a man, have discharged their
duties In a patriotic and businesslike
way, a few mistakes have been made
it is true, this was expected, but on
the whole, there is no adverse critl
dam for those who have served for
they have given their time and energy
unstintedly to the work and had they
been met always with the same spirit
of patriotism and duty they evinced
In going, the total would quite proba
bly have shown an oversubscription
rather than a deficit as it does. In
this campaign it has been as it is in all
others. Some men who are willing to
do their duty have had to carry their
owu burden and help to carry that
of some other man who •"•■Vs the prop
‘or conception of hia duty as a man
and a citizen and who is willing to
enjoy a full measure of liberty when
he only pays for a half. Usually this
type of man is found in that class that
la best able financially to respond to
these demands, it la the man in mod
erate means in most Instances who
keeps the. financial world moving.
There are just a few people in Vi
enna and over the County who have
not done their full duty in responding
to this last call but fortunately for
these they live in a free country, and
as yet it is their privilege to be slack
era if they sodesire. There is consid
erable gratification to he derived
from the knowledge of the fact that
this Class is in the decided minority in
both Vienna and Dooly.
THE WAR HAS MADE IT IMPOSSI
BLE FOR MONEY TO BUY
LAVISH MEALS IN PARIS.
Atlanta, July.— Americans who
have gone to Paris during the past
year, surprised and sometimes shock
ed, at the amount of fod which they
could obtain in Paris restaurants and
hotels if they were willing to pay the
price, have taken it for granted that
this apparent lavishness was charac
teristic of conditions throughout
France, in private homes as well as
restaurants, and have written home
that it was ridiculous to save food
for the people of France when they
had plenty and made no attempt to
conserve it
As a matter of fact the lack of
restrictions in the big hotels and
restaurants of Paris was part of
well calculated policy of the French
Food Controller, who figured that the
amount of food ensumed in these ho-
teleries was extremely small empar-
ed to the total food consumption of
thee ountry; that it was the American
and British and other foreigners who
ate there, that it was courteous and
hospitable to give the foreigners in
Paris what they-wished, and at the
same time, that the cheerful effect
on the Fronch people of seeing the
hotels gay and well supplied in spite
of war times more than repaid for
thes mall drain on the food resources.
And, while the hotels of Paris were
comparatively unrestricted, this ex
cmptlon did not extend to other

REVENUE EXCEEDS ESTIMATES
DOOLY’S WAR RECORD
The statement given out by
clerk of the local board that
roster of white registrants In ,
county .does not hold the name of a Pretense no longer,
single slacker, ia extremely gratifying
So far the response from white men
subject to draft has been such as to
leave no blot on the county’s record
in this respect. It is to bo regretted
that there are so many delinquents
among the colored registrants. This
condition is probably not entirely due
to a disposition on the part of these
negroes to defy the law, but rather in
many instances to ignorance of the
law and their duty. White people
- and the better informed class of ne-
groea can do much to correct this if
they will, and It is a duty they, as en
lightened citizens owe these who are
less fortunate. White men who know
any of the negroes whoaen ames are
published in this, issue as delinquents,
should make it their business to see
them and explain to them the impor
tance of .making proper reponse to
the government orders. This is really
the white citizen's responsibility and
if he fails to assume it he is falling
abort of the higher standard which ia
expected of him as a member of a su-
The obligation of the informed ne
gro ia none the leas great If they
have any race pride and many of them
have, they will not be willing for the
names of these their brothers to go
down in history as slackers. It will
be an ineffaceable blot if they do.
This ia a splendid work for someone
to do, it should not be left for offi
cers, though they will have to do it
if tt la not done by these whose rgeat-
er privilege it is. It is an opportu-
aity for'someone to ds acme real
Washington, July.—Internal reve
nue collections for the. fiscal year
which ended yesterday, totaled f3,.
672.000. 000, compared with $800,-
000,000 the year before and with 33,-
400.000. 000 which it was estimated
the war revenues measures passed by
Congress lastf all would yield.
Internal Revenue' Commissioner
Roper, In announcing these figures
estimated that he cost to the Govern
ment of making the collection
112.000. 000 and disclosed that the bu
reau’s force of 4,000 employees had
been doubled during the year.
“National patriotism and solidarity
engendered by the war has contribu
ted largely to our success," said the
commissioner*! statement
“The way in which tax payers have
generally assisted and cooperated has
been a constant source of inspiration.
It ia our purpose to equalise the tax
burden by collecting from evgry per
son and industry the full amount of
tax that ia due to the government and
not one cent more, and on the other
hand, to return any excessive taxes
that may havo been collected."

Now, however, even the Parisian
restaurants are reflecting the rigid
restrictins imposed on the French peo

16th of May shows thee hange.
“As you pay know, now hits bread
Is to ba bought in Paris, and I am
told that in some parts of the prov
inces, conditions are even orse—that
bread of any sort is difficult to get.
The quality of the bread In Paris is
very pior. It ia mixed with many
substitutes which do not seem to re
spond to tho yeast It ia generally
sour and clammy and has made
number of people sick. Besides no
white bread, there is no cream
sugar or butter or desserts of any
kind except stewed and fresh fruits
served in any hotels or restaurants;
and no cheese Is served if the cost of
tho meal exceeds a dollar and tweny
cents. Imagine sitting down to the
early French breakfast at a hotel
like the Rita, in Paris, and being
served with sour war bread and this
miserable French coffee which tastes
like chlckory and soft soap, and then
being told that you could not have
butter for your bread, nor sugar nor
tho S cream for your effee.”
this! Even Paris can keep up the bright
INCREASE IN PRICE OF SUGAR
An increase of five cents per hun
dred pounds on sugar at seaboard
points has been put into effect to
cover the increased sea freights and
insurance due to submarines, and the
increase in rail rates from inland re
fineries. <
The base price was 37.46 per 100
lbs., at seaboard refining points,
is not 17.60 per 100 pounds. The in
crease Is necessitated to meet added
transportation costs and will mean
no increase in refiners’ margin.

This waa disclosed lately by Secre

the provisions of tho 31,600,000,000
naval appropriation bill recently
paasad by Congress and to which Pres
ident Wilson has attached hbr signs-

“The bill,’’ said the secretary,
'makes it obligatory to begin con
struction of nil of thefprty-eight
■els of the 160 vessels comprising tho
three-year program, authorised in the
net of August 20, 1016, the construc
tion of which has not previously spe
cifically been directed to be beipn. I
am keenly Interested in the early ex
ecution of this program and have re
gretted that lack of facilities due to
the big demand for destroyers, trans
ports and cargo ships rendered it
necessary to somewhat abate the fins
progress that was being nude. How
ever, I requested that the act be
worded in this mandatory way, for it
is my earnest desire and expectation
to carry it out and I have already
