___Atlanta, July 25.—wienever the Na
“x’&m government geis ready to build
“she nitrate plant for which $20,000,600
has been appropriated, let it come {o
Georgia to find water power.
£ It has the authority of the general as
sembly of the Empire State of the
,swth!fthat Georgia abounds in mag
;giéicent sites fromßabun Gap to Tybee
f'?'_'l‘he legiglature started out hy in-
Edfifmg and calling to the govern
yment’s attention one particular water
Wl‘ Then it indorsed another.
?W%‘thh‘d and yesterday a resolu
tion was introduced directing the gov
ernments attention o the splendid wa
ter powers in Northwest Ceorgia, with
wout naming any one particular.
«#How many water powers are we
goi’ri‘g to indorse?” inquired Represen
tative FPullbright of Burke county.
Then somebody suggested that they
amend the resolution by striking out
the word “northwest”’ and letting the
resolution indorse the splendid “water
powers of Georgia.”
This suited the authors of the reso
lution and suited the house, and the
resolution accordingly was amended
and passed. 2
Now let Uncle Sam quit worrying
about the lecation of that nitraie
plant.

LOCAL OPTION PROPOSED FCR
CATTLE TICK ERADICATION}
Atlanta, Ga., July 25.—One of the
disturbing questions in certain parts
of Georgia for several months has been
the dipping of cattle in disinfectant
vats for the purposc of kiiling the fev
er ticks.
In several conntles wheve the cattle
owners have contended that dipping
was not necessary they have dynamii
cd the vals and' thrwaicned a reign of
torror shoud the vats be rebuilt,
Mass mectings have been called,
resolutions have been passed, grand
juries have submitled presentinents,
masked men have ridden at night
The sitnation has promiged to develon
clong lines gimilar te these of the to
baceo night ridders of Kentucky.
But now a plan has been advanced
which its authors believe wiil prove a
olution of the whole perplexing and
dangerous problem. A bill has heen
introduced in the Georgia legislatu
which provides that the dippping ol
cattle shall not be compulsory in any
county unless a imajority of the qual
Ged votors in an election callled for
the pursose shall. determine to anply
the law.
in ether words the local optien prin
ciple is regigred to, on the theory {hat
vords, the local option principle figure
vhere local sentiment sanctions coi
wlsory dipping, law can and should
he enforeed; while in counties where
e sentiment does not sanction div
ping, it is useless to atiempt lo en
force the law.
