A substitute bill, reported by the committee in the place of a bill by ■if Representative Davis of Oglethorpe. This bill provides that 6 per cent of the funds derived from the motor ve hicle tax be devoted to the State Highway Department for overhead expense, and that the balance be pro portioned among the counties that the Highway Department shall direct the expenditure of these funds, but that it shall confer with county authorities. The original bill provided that 4 per cent of the motor tax should be taken out for collection expenses, that 15 per cent should go to the Highway Department, and that the remainder should be divided among the counties according to their post road mileage. The Highway Department opposed the Davis bill on the ground that it would affect federal aid appropria tions!, and the substitute bill then was agreed on. It was known as the McMichael-Davis substitute. Representatives McMichael of Ma rion, Bowden of Ware, Lankford of Toombs and Arnold of Clay spoke in > favor of the substitute measure. Representative Mann of Glynn of fered an amendment providing that one-half of all State motor vehicles aid. This amendment developed con siderable opposition. Chairman DuBose of the Appropria tions Committee, announced that the general tax act would be taken up next. The following new bills were intro- (j duced in the House: 1 By Mr. Beck of Campbell—To re quire all products made from pow dered milk to be labelled. (General Agriculture No. 1.) By Mr. Beck of Carroll—To provide that all primary elections be on the same day; that all nominations be by primary and fixing qualifications. (Privileges and Elections.)

FARMERS OF FAYETTE TO MEET Atlanta.—Hon. J. J. Brown, Com missioner of Agriculture, and Andrew J. Fleming, Secretary of the Georgia Farmers Union, will address the farm ers of Fayette county at a mass meet ing lo be held at the courthouse in Fayetteville at 2:00 p. m. on August 2nd, on behalf of the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-operative Association. The meeting is the opening gun in Fayette county of a great educational campaign beginning July 27th and con tinuing until the middle of August, which the Association is staging through ten teams of distinguished speakers, who will visit nearly every cotton county in the state during that time in its behalf. Fayette county has heard something heretofore of this great co-operative marketing movement when Director of Organization A. A. Elmore addres sed a meeting here sometime ago, but the movement was then in its infancy and had not gained the headway in the state in the understanding of the farmers which it has now, and a great new start for this county is contem plated with this meeting. Hart and Franklin counties are re ported nearly over the top on signing their percentage of cotton necessary to make up the 300,000 bales minimum for ttye state, and several other coun ties in the state, where the movement has already been carried, are coming along very fast. As a result of the great campaign now being staged, the association expects to sign its min imum of cotton before hot weather is over. In the counties visited, local organization machinery will be built, and the sign-up campaign carried for ward without delay. Paul Barrett, acting field represen tative of the association for a group of counties including Fayette, is mak ing the arrangements for the meeting. In the morning preceding the mass meeting, the speakers will meet in conference, members of the existing Fayette County commiitee, and other local leaders who will take up the work. Every cptton farmer in the county is urged to attend the great rally on August 2nd, and not only the farmers, but business men and bankers of Fay etteville and surrounding points, are urgently asked to be present. The ladies also are cordially invited. Interest in the movement is now running exceedingly high all over the state, especially since the United States government has placed its stamp of approval on the business ef ficiency of the plan through the lend ing of the War Finance Corporation of several million dollars to a group of Mississippi long-staple growers or ganized under the identical plan. STORIES OF GREAT SCOUTS New Law Forces Delay In Landing New York.—Six great ocean liners, loaded with Greeks, Turks, Poles, Ital ians and other aliens, will loaf around w outside the three-mile limit off New * York harbor, with nothing to do but watch the rum-runners go by. Single Taxers Praise Governor Hardwick’s Stand t A set of resolutions advocating the single tax, and indorsing Governor Hardwick’s stand in discriminating between “earned and unearned’’ in comes, was presented to the governor recently by a committee ow women on behalf of the Atlanta Equal Suffrage Association. Members of the commit tee were Mrs. Emma T. Martin, chair man; Mrs. Amelia R. Wooddall, Dr. Grace Kirkland, Mrs. Beulah Rose Stevens and Miss Elizabeth Sawtell. According to the resolutions the burden of taxation calls for immediate relief, and the demand for revenue to maintain all government institu tions was never so great in Georgia, the only means of harmonizing these two conflicts being by enacting the principle of mortal right and justice in our system of taxation of land values alone, is the only just way to set affairs of the State on a sound basis, it is pointed out in the resolu tion. The resolutions were adapted in open meeting of the Equal Suffrage Association July 20. By Elmo Scott Watson Boys, boys, boys, for your amusement and information the News is carrying a special series of articles under the heading of “Stories of Great Scouts,” which gives a short chronological his tory of the American frontier and the men who made it,famous, such as Dan iel Boone,-Buffalo Bill, Davy Crockett, Wild Bill and all others whom you have heard and read about as well as many others who were just as great, but perhaps you 'have never heard mentioned. Each week, for you, the News will carry a story of two of these famous scout until forty-eight of the most important have been covered. Watch for the column headed “Stories of Great Scouts" each week. “Stories of Great Scouts’’ is the name of an added feature which we have secured for the pleasure and entertainment of our readers. In this issue of the News will be found the first of this series of stories treating on two of America’s famous scouts. Each week we will carry a thrilling tale covering two of America’s bravest and most picturesque figures—the men who defeated savage cun ning and blazed a way for the vanguard of empire—until the series of forty-eight famous men have been told. Books have been written about four or five famous scouts, but this series is the first real comprehensive work which includes all of the leading figures in frontier history. It is a chronological story of the American frontier, epitomized in the lives of great scouts, covering every period from the French and Indian war to the Ghost Dance uprising, the last serious trouble with the In dians. Most historians play up such men as Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill, Kit Carson and California Joe. These stories show that Ben Clark, Frank Guard, Sharp Grover, Yellowstone Kelly and others are just as important in history, though they were not so widely adver tised as the former. Remember the first of this series will be found in this issue of the News. Daniel Boone, the great Kentuckian and Simon Kenton, “the American Mazeppa,” being treated in this issue. Next week’s issue will-cover Major Sam McCullough and Captain Sam Brady. Watch for this feature each week. It is a rare treat. , Other features of special interest car ried in the News, this week, are as fol lows: “The Story of Our States”-—our spe cial series of articles treating on his toric sketches in the making of each state in the Union. The states treated this week are Washington and Idaho. “International Sunday Schoofl Les son.”—This week Rev. P. B. Fitzwa- ter has selected his lesson text from Acts 11:19-30, and the subject of "his sermon is “Saul Teaching at Antioch.” “The Kitchen Cabinet,” by Miss Nel lie Maxwell.—In this department Miss Maxwell suggests many dainty dishes for hot weather and tells us what to eat. “Who’s Who in the World” is an other of our regular departments and features.

Grady Ingram, postmaster of Me- Donough succumbs to the ravages of typhoid fever and died at eleven o’clock Tuesday night at his home, surrounded by his wife, children and parents. Grady will be missed more than can be told in this article, a-self sacrificing genial man of stable character, wits, wholesome altruistic ideals, living to let live, ever thinking of another's trials* and troubles and exerting him- helf to better others conditions rather than his own. This grand young man of twenty-seven years, has suddenly been snatched from our midst. Grady was born and raised in Mc Donough, and loved by everybody, he leaves a wife and three children, father and three sisters and two broth ers, one a Stewards Officer in the navy, enroute„with the Asiatic fleet to the Philipines and the other, L. A. Ingram, of Fayetteville. Our hearts are saddened by the death of this young, finely charactered and esteem ed citizen of Henry county and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family and commend them to our Heavenly Father for comfort to their bereaved hearts in this their saddened hour. A BRAVE FIGHT AGAINST TYPHOID FEVER The people of Georgia have been fighting typhoid fever during the past month and a half more earnestly than ever before. The State Board of Health through the newspapers and the physicians warned all the citizens of the state that Typhoid fever threat ened to be quite serious unless cer tain precautionary measures be insti tuted; namely, vaccination and better sanitation. Much activity was noted along these lines. In one county, the county health officer was able to secure the installation of 500 sanitary privies dur ing the month of June. Also large Quantities of typhoid vaccine have been administered by the health offi cers and physicians since the publica tion of these warnings. During the month of June the State Board of Health Laboratory filled orders for vaccine to the amount of 85,000 c. c. or injections. A large number of ord ers, however, were not filled because of the inadequacy of the supply of vaccine and also funds for employing the necessary help to manufacture the vaccine. If any one wishes to secure vac cine free from the laboratory during the present typhoid season it would be well to place the order at once, as there is such a demand until it, now appears that some of the “eleventh hour” orders cannot be filled. STATE BOARD OF HEALTH. FAYETTE COUNTY TO HAVE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION Convention to Be Held at Sandy Creek Church Thursday, Aug. 4. RESPONSIBILITY COUNTY - WIDE AT- OFTHE PARENT TENDANCE CON I' . TEST ORGANIZED Many parents lose sight of the fact that the vacation period is one of grave danger to the growing child. The boy or girl just out of school feels like the caged bird that is sud denly released from its captivity. It glories in its freedom to :he exclusion of all else. Many of the lessons in deportment that have been learned in the class room are gradually forgotten as the child finds its way to the street. There is no room in its heart for anything but the glories of the present, unless the parental hand is ever guiding its steps. The future is a sealed book which will be opened only too soon for its purpose. Herein the function of the parent becomes of double importance to the future of the child, for the careful work and training of the teacher must be carried through the days and weeks of the vacation period, not to the extent of hampering the child in its rest and recuperation from class room confinement, or depriving it of the innocent pleasures of life, but rather the daily impressing upon its young mind the necessity for contin uing the rules of conduct learned in its hours of study. Children are , quick to learn and equally quick to forget. An impres sion may sink deep today and be for gotten by tomorrow, but if it is re peatedly brought to the attention of the juvenile j brain it will eventually take root and live. The teacher is responsible to the parent for the proper instruction of the child during its hours of study, but the parent has a double respon sibility—to both the teacher and the child—the responsibility of safeguard ing the work of both. A County-wide Attendance Contest has been organized in connection with the approaching Fayette County Sun day School convention to be held at Sandy Creek Church, on Thursday, August 4th, according to R. D. Webb. General Superintendent of the Georgia Sunday School Association. At this convention an attractive ban ner will be publicly awarded to the Sunday School having the largest number of delegates in proportion to the distance traveled. Under this plan, ten delegates coming ten miles each to the convention count the same as twenty delegates only five miles each, thus making It fair for all, both near and far. The banner becomes the. property of the Sunday School winning it, and may be taken home for permanent dis play in the Sunday School room. Oil Wells At Amatlan Mexico Burning Mexico City. — The Amatlan oil fields are on fire, with drilling towers foiling like chaff and the workmen fleeing, according to reports here de scribing “the greatest catastrophe in the history of oil fields.” The cause of the fire is not known. The finan cial loss cannot be estimated, say the advices, which add that the confla gration dwarfs into insignificance the Pordro del Dano disaster. Columns of fire hundreds of feet high are cover ing the entire field, it is declared, and efforts to suppress the blaze are said to be considered hopeless.
