ing a telegram received fom Mr. J.
H. Carmichael, in which he advises
against the planting of long staple
cotton. Last year there was a consid
erable acreage planed to long staple.
It is Mr. Carmichael’s opinion that
the difference in price will not justi
fy the planting of the long staple va
riety of cotton. The wire was sent
from Boston, where Mr. Carmichael
is spending a few days on business,
and is as follows:
“Frank S. Carmichael, Jackson Ga.
“Quantities long staple stored and
consigned here for sale. Very little
demand, due to mills changing from
fine goods to coarse for government
purposes. If war should end soon de
mand would possibly increase next
season, but aarry over might be suffic
ient for demand. Under circumstan
ces cannot advise planting long staple.
At present difference in price
wouldn’t be over five to six cents and
possibly slow sale. „

REPORT SHOWS HEALTH CON
DITIONS GOOD IN ARMY CAMPS
The health of troops in the United
States continues very good, according
to a recent report to the Surgeon
General of the army by the Division
of Field Sanitation. Admission, non
effective and death rates are some
what higher than last report, due
chiefly to prevalence of influenza and
bronchitis with complicating pneumo
nia, in many of our northern camps.
National guard camps, as a group,
continue with remarkably low rates.
Verv few new cases of measles and |
meningitis have occurred.
SOME PROBLEMS
Where can a man buy a cap for his
knee,
Or a key for a lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy,
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of his head what gems
are found?
Who travels the bridge of his nose?
Can he use when shingling the roof
of his mouth,
The nails in the end of his toes?
Can the crook of his elbow be sent to
jail?
And if so, what did he do?
How does he sharpen his shoulder
blades?
I’ll be hanged if I know; do you?

COUNTY LITIGATION
CALLED THIS WEEK
Jasper County Asks For
More Taxes
REARING IN McDONOUGI
CASE INVOLVING TAXES OF CEN.
TRAL GEORGIA POWER COM
PANY ON CALENDER FOR
HEARING THIS WEEK
The case of Jasper county against
Butts county, in which Jasper county
seeks to secure a larger portion of the
taxes arising from the Central Geor
gia Power Company, was scheduled
for a hearing in Henry county supe
rior court at McDonough Wednesday.
Various phases of the legislation
has been pending for several years
and has aroused much interest among
the citizens of the counties at issue.
Last April, it will be remembered, the
case was taken up in Henry county
superior court, and on account of cer
tain evidence was non-suited by Judge
Searcy. The case was then carried to
the state supreme court, which over
ruled Judge Searcy. This time the
case will be tried on the facts, all le
gal questions having been passed on,
it is stated.
Jasper county sets out that it is
entitled to 46.6 per cent of the dam
of the power company, and conse
quently taxes on that proportion of
the dam. At present Jasper county
receives taxes on S3 1-3 per cent of
the dam.
The contention of Butts county is
that the power house and all the val
uable machinery is located on the
west side of the dam and is, therefore,
more valuable than the mere concrete
dam on the Jasper county side of the
line.
Judge E. J. Reagan and Col. E. M.
Smith, of McDonough, Col. W. E.
Watkins, of Jackson, and Col. John
R. L. Smith, of Macon, represent
Butts county. Jasper county is rep
resented by Col. G. F. Johnson, of
Monticello.

DON’T SCOLD, MOTHER!
THE CROSS CHILD IS
BILIOUS, FEVERISH
Look at Tongue! If Coated,
Clean Little Stomach, Liv
er and Bowels
Don’t scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this is
a sure sign its little stomach, liver
and bowels are clogged with sour
waste.
When, listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn t eat, sleep or act naturally,
has stomachache, indigestion, diar
rhoae, give a teaspoonful of “Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs,’’and in a few
hours all the sour waste, the sour
bile and fermenting food passes out
out of the bowels and you have a
well and playful child again. Chil
dren love this harmless “fruit laxa
tive,"and mothers can rest easy af
ter giving it, because it never fails to
make their little “insides” clean and
sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother! A little
given today saves a sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a bottle of “Cal
ifornia Syrup of Figs,” which has di
rections for babies, children of all
ages and grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Remember there arc counter
feits sold here, so surely look and see
that yours is made by the “Califor
nia Fig Syrup Company.” Hand back
with contempt any other fig syrup, ad
