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 the COLORED REGISTRANTS Continued from page one Jlucy Bali, Vienna. Enoch Lewis, Vienna.

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.

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

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. ■., A Patriolic Announcement,..

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 frVfw steps to expedite construction as aradi as pomtbla. “Honey is not only provided - for completing the big three-year pro gram, bat an additional one hundred million dollars is made available for additional torpedo boat destroyers, submarine chasers, and other naval Two Cars American Wire Fence The Standard Fence of the world.
