Defrees, Chicago law yer, administrator and business man, has been unanimously re-elected presi detjt of the chamber of commerce of the United States. This association comprises more than 1400 business or ganizations. President Defrees recent ly sailed for Europe as a delegate to the International Chamber of Com merce convention. “It is the duty of every sincere American, big or little business man, farmer, lawyer, laborer, teacher, me chanic, or clerk, to make his personal weight count for the stabilizing of so cial and industrial conditions,’’ says Mr. Defrees. “The sober common sense of the American people must and will, I am satisfied, assert itself with respect to the responsibilities and du ties of classes or groups, and even individuals. * “There are many signs of a broad er outlook and a keener sense of pub lic responsibility. The proposition was well put by the secretary of labor: “ ‘National stability and prosperity is therefore seen to be a problem of maintaining equality and justice between all factors, the worker in production lines, the organized worker, the interests of the manufacturer and of the dis tributor. A policy that will maintain a continued prosperity for one will main tain it for all.’ ” Dr. Frederick Sthamer Is to be offered the place of German ambassa dor to Washington—if the need of an ambassador should arise. Like his predecessor, Count von Bernstorff, he lius an American wife. She was a Miss Pollig, but nobody seems to know where her home was. She went to Hamburg as a child and was married about 30 years ago. Her husband is slxty-one years old. Dr. Sthamer, at the time of his selection, was the German ambassa dor at London. Although there was naturally little beyond purely formal intercourse between him and the al lied diplomats in London, except pos sibly the Italian, his relations with the British foreign office had been easy and fairly cordial. In fact, he was so satisfied that it was said he would refuse the Washington post if it was offered to him on the ground that he did not care to “have to break official and social ice all over again.” During the war he was attached to the staff of the German governor gen- era- of Belgium and was In charge of the Antwerp administration in all but strictly military matters. Dr. Stliamer has been known as a life member of the Hamburg senate, which together with the House of Burgesses, has long governed that free city and republic. He is the commercial adviser of the senate council and is Ham burg's representative in several national commercial organizations, and is an expert on foreign trade policies. , • „ ., t •»V**.-.•**♦»**•• J *•-■ Bone, New Governor of Alaska Scott C- Bone is to be the new governor of Alaska. He is a newspaper man. He was connected with Indian apolis newspapers from 1881 to 1888, then with Uie Washington Post as news editor and managing editor for seventeen years. From October, 1906, to January, 1911, he was editor and principal owner of the Washington Herald, and was editor-in-chief of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer from 1911 to 191§. During Uie campaign he was director of puflicity for the Republi can national committee. It is said that his appointment was a compro mise in a lively fight Washington was full of men who had journeyed all the way from Alaska to tell President Harding what to do about it. There were two groups. One group, repre senting what is generally called the Guggenheim interests, had several can didates, Uie best known of whom was named Hazlitt. This group's op ponents, centered on Judge Wickersham, formerly governor of Alaska, and also formerly delegate from Alaska. So the president appointed a man not lined up with either party. The new governor will tackle a job of importance. AlaslA seems in a bad way just now. Anyway, its population is decreasing ihstead of increasing and its* proper development is a source of great concern to Uie administration. Adams Heads G. 0. P. Committee John T. Adams of Dubuque, Jo., succeeds Postmaster General Hays as chairman of the Republican national committee. The promotion is natural since Mr. Adams has been serving as vice chairman of the committee and Mr. Hays beat him out for chairman. Mr. Adams was born in Dubuque in 1862 and has been engaged in the manufacture of sashes and doors since 1881. Mr. Adams was succeeded by Ralph E. Williams of Portland, Ore. Mrs. L. G. Woods of Pittsburgh was elected second vice chairman, an of fice created in recognition of the wom en membership of the party. The change in representation based on the Republican votes of the last election, reduced by twenty-three the number of delegates accredited from the southern states to the 1920 convention. Under the new plan, the next con vention will be made of 1,037 delegates, 93 uioie titan the last unless there are great changes in the state votes of last fall, on which the calculation was made. The old system allowed for one delegate from each congressional district, but under the new plan a district must have cast 2,500 Republican votes in the last preceding elecUon before it may send a delegate. Provision is also made for the seating of two additional delegates at large from each state carried at the last preceding elections by the Republicans. GEORGIA STATE NEWS Americus.—Fred Hall, charged witt having liquor in his possession, was found not guilty in the city court here recently. An automobile belonging to him, however, was ordered sold, as it was claimed that liiquor was found in the car. Hall Btated that the car had been stolen from his home. Winder.—Rev. J. Frank Jackson, of Atlanta, the oldest man serving the Baptist state mission board as evange list is preaching to large crowds of interested church-goers at the Second Baptist church here. Rev. J. R. Brook line, county school superintendent, is pastor. The singing Is in charge of James L. Brock. Macon.—A record movement of peaches from the state in a single day was established recently when 298 cars of the fruit were shipped from Georgia. This was 25 cars more than the-largest shipment for the 1920 crop. The peaches were all of the Hiley Belle and Georgia Belle variety. Most of them came from around Fort Valley, Marshallville and Byron. Juliette.—Reports have been receiv ed here that three negroes, a man, woman and baby, were killed recently by a southbound Southern passenger train. The negroes were in an auto mobile when truck by the train. They were badly mangled and were instant ly killed. They were not identified by the train crew. The accident occured at Ellenwood. Macon.—Little damage was done by the violent electrical and thunder storm which struck Macon recently. A check of reports showed nearly an inch and a halff of rain fell. The electrical display was most specta cular. The Southern Bell Telephone company reported a number of tele phones out of commission, and the fire in a house struck by lightning. Little damage was done there. Dublin. — Following announcement t.hkt a bill has been introduced in the general assembly entitling certain counties to additional representation in the legislature, politics are becom ing the chief topic here. In the event the bill pending is passed Laurens county will be entitled to three rep resentatives, ore one additional. Sev eral persons have already been men tioned for the place, among them George D. Davis, Tom Stephens and others. No formal announcements have been made but several citizens aTe understood to have prepared to enter the race. Griffin.—Judge W. E. H. Searcy, of the Flint circut superior court, has sent to the prison commission of Geor gia a strong protest against an inter ference with the verdict of the court in the case of Jack L. Kellqy, who is under.death sentence for the killing of Leroy Trexler near Griffin last September. Unless sentence is com muted Kelloy will pay th6 death pen alty on Friday, July 15. Moultrie.—A request that the police department here aid him in his search for his wife, from whom he states he is lost, and -who, he says, is as anxious to find him as he is to find her, has been made by A. E. Bayol, a traveling man from Marion, Ala. Mrs. Bayol was described by the husband as a "brunette about five feet nine inches tall.’’ He believed, he said, she had come to Moultrie. That she had re ceived mail in care of one of the local hotels was learned at the post office. Columbus.—It is announced here that the grand jury will consider the case of former policeman L. G. Boyles, recently discharged from the local force because of his alleged connec tion with an automobile party said to have carried a negro out to the woods on the Alabama side of the Chatta- choochee recently. The grand jury may meet soon. The grand jurors will also, it is stated, consider the cases of Robert Campbell, and Tom Jackson, said to have been with Bowles at the time the party was arrested by officers from Girard Ala. Bowles has been given a hearing be fore the. police board. Milledgeville.—Dr. K. D. Allen has let a contract for the erection of a large, modern three-story building at his Invalid home, to the Milledgeville Brick Works. This structure is being built to replace the one which was destroyed by fire recently. Since then Dr. Allen’s establishment has been very crowded, as there were many patients, besides the large number of sick soldiers sent to him by the gov ernment, to be given medical atten tion. Thomasville.—Thomas county’s fig crop is at its height now and it is a very large one. With figs, water melons, peaches, cantaloupes and other fruits on the market, there is no lack of planty to eat in South Geor gia. The last of the big blackberry crop is coming in and it is safe to say that this year more of these berries were put up as jellies, preserves, pam, etc., that ever before. It is also re ported that more than the usual sup ply of blackberry wine was put up this year. Valdosta.—Because of his advanced age and some technical violation of the rules of the department, Post master J. 0. Varnedore, of this city, was notified by the first assistant postmaster general that his resigna tion was requested by June 28. Major Varnedoe, who was appointed post master during the Roosevelt adminis tration, has served for about sixteen years. Major Varnedoe is a veteran of two wars having served through (he Civil was as a captain, and during 1he Spanish war being appointed * major. LEGISLATIVE LETTER Happenings and Activities of In terest Pertaining To Georgia Lawmakers Now In Session At The State Capitol Finances of the state government which are generally acknowledged to be in the worst muddle in the history of Georgia, with the possible excep tion of the muddle they go into in j the carpet bag regime of reconstruc- ■ tion, are not the only finances to | which the legislature will devote its attention at the present session. County finances, which are more important to the individual taxpayer than state finances, because the coun ties collect more taxes for county purposes that the state collects, will be substantially reorganized if the legislature passes a bill to be intro duced soon by Representative Har per Hamilton, of Floyd, and other members whose names are not yet an nounced. Eight days of the 1921 session of the Georgia legislature have produced two measures of outstanding impor tance among the raft of bills intro duced.

The other is the proposal to create a joint committee of the senate and house to make a general investiga tion of expenditures in all depart ments and institutions of the state, to recommend reductions where they seem necessary, to recommend in creases where they seem to be war ranted, to study the revenue laws of the state, and in general to devise ways and means on a good, sound footing.

(Committee on constitutional amendments.) I THE STORY OF | j OUR STATES j i By JONATHAN BRACE I • J i ,..,..,.........-.4 (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) WEST VIRGINIA S TI-IE name im plies, West Vir ginia was originally a portion of Virginia, the Old Dominion Colony. While its history is naturally yoked up with that of tiie Mother State, there are many points in which the two sections of Virginia were divergent and it was for this reason that \Vest. Virginia finally became a separate state. The first white man who probably penetrated the wilderness of this Western region was John Laderer, a German surgeon, who went on a tour of exploration in 1669. In the same year, La Salle sailed up the Ohio and landed at several points in the present state. There was little colonization until 1732, when Scotch and Irish ad venturers began to fill Western Vir ginia. They were encouraged but lit tle, and, in fact, the King in 1783 de clared that this part of the colony was Tndian country and could not rightfully be settled. Colonization continued, however, and bitter warfare was waged against the Indians and the French who had come down from the North. In 1774 the battle of Pt. Pleasant was fought, which was one of the bloodiest of Indian conflicts. The backwoodsmen who settled in the Western part of Virginia were en tirely different types of men from the wealthy slave owners along the coast. Jealousies between the two sections arose and the Western countries felt great dissatisfaction at the way Vir ginia was governing them. The most marked point of disagreement was over the slavery question, and it was because of this that, when Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, West Virginia took matters in its own hands. Delegates met at Wheeling, drew up a separate constitution, and declared their independence. Their application for admission into the Union was ac cepted by Lincoln, and In, 1863 West Virginia became the thirty-fifth state. It is often called the “Panhandle State” on account of its shape. Its area is 24,170 square miles, and it lias eight presidential electors. NEVADA N evada is a Spanish ndjec- tive meaning “snowy,” and is tak en from the Sierra Nevadas, those lofty mountains which separate the state from California. Most of the history of the state centers in this Western section, near the Sierras, and it is here that all of Nevada’s princi pal cities are located. The first white man to cross the present state was the Franciscan Monk, Father Gares, who made his way across the deserts to California in 1775. In 1825 Peter S. Ogden of the Hudson’s Bay company discovered the Humboldt river, which is sometimes called Ogden river after him. This river has a peculiarity, which also ap plies to most of the rivers of the state, in that It does not flow into the ocean, but disappears in a large lake or sink. Other trappers followed Og den, but found the Indians hostile and there was no inducement at this rime for settlers. The next memorable trip across the state was that by Fremont in 1843, when’be went to California at the time of the outbreak of the Mexican war. It was that war which in 1848 resulted In Mexico ceding a large area to the United States, of which Nevada was a part. When’ this was organized into territories, the Territory of Utah ex tended to California. The W’estern in habitants, however, were left to their own resources and accordingly organ ized their own government. Resenting the attitude of Utah they petitioned to be annexed to California. They were closely allied with the latter state, for it was largely on account of the gold rush to California in 1849 that Nevada settlements were made. One example of this was the trading by the Mormons in the valley of Car- son river, to supply the gold seekers. In 1859 the Comstock Lode was dis covered and, Nevada had its own min ing boom. Population immediately grew by letups and bounds and in 1861 Nevada was formed into a separate territory. Later, portions of Utah were added and the lower part of the state was taken from Arizona. Peti tions for statehood were made but it was not until 1864 that Nevada be came the thirty-sixth state of the Union. Thougli Nevada ranks sixth in size with Its area of 110,690 square miles, it has the smallest population of any of the 4S states. Between 1890 and 1900 there was a marked decrease in the population due to the falling off of mining industry. Japs Makifig Buttons. The number of factories engaged In manufacturing buttons throughout Ja pan at the end of 1019 \fas 1,429, em ploying 9,250 workmen in all. The value of buttons turned out during the year reached 15,267.699 yen, which was an increase of 2.202,138 yen, or 14 per cent, as against the preceding year. But the volume of production indi cates a decline of 4,984.300 gross. The total value of buttons exported during 1919 was 10,288.000 yep, show ing a decline of 14 per cent as against flip nrecpdimr rear.

There I dangled while the town folks collected below. So I yells to ’em, "Say, you folks, go home to your suppers, it’ll he close to half an hour before I drop.”—Houston Post.
