King Peter Seeks Refuge in Italy
PROF. HUNTER, WHO IN YEARS
AGO TAUGHT SUPREME
COURT JUSTICES.
Pboro by American Press Association.
(By Associated Press.)
Brandis!, Italy, Dec. 25.—(Via
Paris Dec. 27.)—King Peter of Serbia
has arrived here on board an Italian
cruiser. The sovereign had refused
resolutely until now to leave his army
and it was only at the urgent entreaty
of his son, the Prince Regent, that he
at last agreed to go into exile.
The prince pointed out to his father
that it would be better for him to
preserve hia strength. £o ..that -he
would be able after his health had'
been restored to return to his country
at the head of a reorganized army.
A Rome dispatch on December 16
said King Peter had accepted Italy’s
offer of a palace for his use at Ca-
serta, near Naples, but it later was
reported that the aged ruler had de
clared he was determined to die
among his own people and not to
abandon his army. The king has
been seriously ill for months but fre
quently was on the firing line with
the the Serbiap troops .before they
were overwhelmed byAustro-Ger-
mans and Bud gars.

(Special to the Banner.).
Washington, Dec. 27.—A prelimi
nary statement of the general results
of the census of manufactures for
Athens, Ga„ has been issued by Di
rector Sam L. Rogers, of the bureau
of the census, department of com
merce. It consists' of a summary com
paring the figures for 1909 and 1914,
by totals, prepared under the direc
tion of Mr. William M. Steuart, chief
statistician for manufactures.
- The figures are preliminary and
subject to such change and correction
as may be found necessary from a fur
ther examination of the’ original re
ports.
1909, with reference to manufactures,
excluded the hand trades, the building
trades and the neighborhood indus
tries, and took account only of estab
lishments conducted under the factory
system. In the last census, also, as
in that for 1909, statistics were not
collected for establishments having
products for the census year valued at
less than $600, except that reports
were taken for establishments idle
during a portion of the census year,
or which began operation during that
year, and whose products for such
reason were valued at less than 6500.
The word “establishment” as used
per establishment was approximately
667,000 in 1914 and 652,000 in 1909.
In this connection it should be stated
that the inquiry contained in the cen
sus schedule calls for the total
amount of capital, both owned and
borrowed, invested in the business,
but excludes the value of rented prop
erty plant, or equipment which was
employed in the conduct of manufac
turing enterprises. In the final bul
letins and reports the rental paid for
such property will be shown sepa
rately.
Cost of Materials.
The cost of materials used in 1914
was 61,543,000, as against 61,329,000 in
1909, an increase of 6041,000, or 46.2
The census of 1914, like that of, .per'cent- The average cpst of ma
terials per establishment in- 1914 was
approximately 40,000, and in 1909,
635,000. In addition to the component
materials which enter into the pro
ducts of the establishment for the
census year there are included the
cost of l!uel, mill supplies, and rent of
power and heat. The cost of ma
terials, however does not include un
used materials and supplies bought
either for speculation or for use dur
ing a subsequent period.
The census inquiry does not in
clude amounts paid for miscellaneous
expenses, such as rent of offices, roy
alties, insurance, rodinary repairs, ad-
Thursday of this week eight young
men of the University of Georgia Y.
M. C. A. will go to Warrenton for .a
four days’ campaign among the young
boys of that city. It has come to be
an annual custom for a “Deputation”
from the Association to give up a
part of the Christmas holiday to g«
out to some Georgia town in this sort
of work. It means a sacrifice on the
part of the young men to go to do this
work—hut there are compensations
large end rich for the service. Last
year the party went to Commerce and
they are still hearing of the good re
sults of the week’s work.
Those who will go to Warrenton
are Bright McConnell, Holzendorf,
Pox, Alfred Scott, Milton Scott, Bob
Bedlnger, H. Grier, and Clarence
also going. Co-operating with thesi
and assisting them are the following
local boys at Warrenton: Ed Anchors
and Frank and Lloyd Wilhoit.
Chancellor Barrow and General
Secretary Forbes of the city Associa
tion will go down Sunday to be at the
closing of the campaign.
The Georgia men who go to War
renton are among the leaders in col
lege life—especially athletic activities
—several of the football stars being in
the hunch.
The four days will be spent In the
nnest sort of service for the young
boy-life of the Georgia town—several
outings and contests having been ar
ranged, and some real work along the
lines of building up physical, mental,
and religions manhood to be accom-
Yesterday morning about 11:30
o’clock at his home in Wlnterville, oc

he was a prominent worker in all
lines of endeavor for toe good of toe
community. He was a member for
many years of the Primitive Baptist
church. He is survived by his wife,

or city.
The reports were-taken fior the cal

wherever toe system of book-keeping
permitted figures' for that period to
be secured, but when toe fiscal year
of an establishment differed from toe

ANNOUNCEMENT—SOLICITOR
GENERAL.
To the White Citizens of the West-
ren Circuit: 1 desire to let the whits
citizens of this circuit know that 1
will appreciate their help, influence
and votes for re-election as Solicitor-
GeneraL
It has been my ambition to serve
you in a manner that would meet with
your approval. 1 have given my time
and attention (day and night) to the
duties of the office, and if you should
see fit to honor me with another term.
It shall be my policy to continue to
try to suppress crime in all of Its
forms.
The security of the home, the pro
tection of property, and the safe
guarding of the citizens liberty, de
pend upon the enforcement of the
law, and a respect for the Court’s
crees and sentences, by those in au
thority, as weii as by private citizens.
The Solicitor-General, in a large
measure, is the officer upon whom our
people rely to insure this protection.
This being my first term in office
and in public life, I have, no doubt,
made mistakes; they were due, how
ever, to “an error of the head and
not of the heart.” I therefore feel
and believe that my experience and
acquaintance with the people have
equipped me for better service and
more usefulness for another term
than 1 have been able to render dur
ing the past three years.
In the light of the kind expres
sions from the Grand Juries under
whom I haye been permitted to serve,
and from the people generally,! be

ethical medical' journals seldom

Since calcium is a constituent of
this remedy for pulmonary tubercu

affections, its healing power may in
some measure be attributed to the
manner in which this element is so
combined with other ingredients as
to be easily assimilated by the aver

Eckman’s Alterative contains no
