Richard Hardy, M. E. Temple and Sec
retary W. R. Long, together with Hon
Lewis M. Coleman, chief counsel for
the association, of Chattanooga, will
meet the tourists at Nashville and ac
company them through to Florida. At
it will be impossible for the party o r
officials to travel over the section of
the highway between Knoxville and
Cincinnati on account of the large
I
' amount of construction work going on,
an inspection of the highway will be
postponed until next summer, at
which time the officials of the asso
ciation are confident it will be com
pleted.
A general invitation has been ex
tended to all Dixie Highway boosters
to join the party of Dixie Highway offi
cials at any point along the highwav
and tour with them as far as they
care to go.
In connection with the tour, meet
ings will be held in the various towns
and cities en route. In southern Geor
gia and Florida the directors will go
over as far as they are able sections
of the proposed eastern and western
divisions of the Dixie Highway.

seis bound for Norway to put back to
a British port. In many cases these
Norwegian ships have been outside
of the war zone, and, on their being
forced to return to British ports
been the cictims of German sub
marines. Had the vessels been left
alone by the British ships they would
have reached their home port safely.
Protests from Norway to England
have been met by the answer that tha
British government will hold itself
responsible for Norwegian shipping
that is treated in this manner, but the
Norwegian owners continue to sea
their ships destroyed.
The quesion has become especially
acute since the Norwegian-American
liner Trondhjemscjord was torpedoed
by a German submarine July 31. An
English cruiser had stopped the steam
er, put a prize crwe on board and di
rected the vessel’s course to Kirkwall,
when the torpedoing occurred. The
Norwegian press complaining against
the British admiralty, asserts that the
steamer was loaded in New York un
der the supervision of three inspectors
from the British consulate who sealed
the ship's hatches, and among the
ship’s papers was an affidavit from the
consulate to the effect that the ship
had no other cargo than what the pa
pers sfiowed. Aside from this, the
Norwegian government had guaranteed
that possible contraband would not
be re-shipped from Norway to any of
the belligerent countries. Notwith
standing this, the ship was seized, priz e
flag hoisted and the unlawful prize was
directed toward Kirkwall. The chief
of the German submarine torpedoed
the steamer, because it was bought
from England last December, and was,
therefore, according to his instruction,
considered to be an English ship.
The loss of the Troncfhjemsfjord
amounts to several million dollars, on
ly partly covered by insurance. There
was n ( > contraband on board, accord
ing to German rules. The cargo con
sisted of 60,000 bushels of grain, pork
and tobacco.
The loss of Norwegian ships sine a
the war broke out a year ago amounts
to about $10,000,000, of which only four
million was covered by insurance—the
rest falls on the ship-owners. The ma
jority of the ships have been torpedoed
by German submarines, several with
out warning.

The Band Calls for Aid From
The Citizens of Americus, Ga.
The Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce band is not re
ceiving the co-operation that it de
serves and the members of the organ

prolong the life of the band by making
it a permanent institution which will
prove a handsome and entertaining ac

In a petition being circulated for the
band the following appeal is made to
“the citizens of Americus.”
“We have a good band and do no.
want to lose it, but we will unless
som e arrangement is made to pay the
teacher. Mr. Kodatt has moved here
with the understanding that the city
will support the band and we have to
pay him a reasonable sum to remain
here and keep up the organization. He
also has five members of his family
who are experienced musicians and
this is a general help to the band. We
must raise $50.00 per month for 12
months ,and after that time the band
will be self-sustaining, so we ask the
people of Americus to give us as much
help as possible in raising the desired
amount of money.”
A promise is made in the petition

ACRES OF TICKS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Sept. 15.
Nin e thousand, three hundred and six
square miles of territory in Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina
will be freed from quarantine for cattle
tick on September 15, by an order just
signed by the secretary of aagricul
ture. The territories freed are those
in which the counties, the state and
the department of agriculture, work
ing in co-operation have eradicated
the tick which causes Texas fever by
systematic dipping of cattle in an ar
senical bath. The territory just re
leased makes a total territory of 262,-
469 square miles freed from the tick
since 1906 when systematic work to
get rid of this cattle pest was under
taken. As the original cattle under
quarantine for the cattie tick was 741,
515 square miles, more than one-third
of the territory infested has been
cleaned.
The order releases the following
territory in the states named:
Mississippi: Clarke county and the
remaining portions of the counties of
Lafayette, Bolivar and Claiborne are
released from quarantine.
Alabama: The counties of Lime
stone and Montgomery are released
from quarantine.
Georgia: The following counties are
released from quarantine: Baldwin,
Chatooga, Cherokee, DeKalb, Elbert,
Fulton, Gordon, Greene, Jasper and
Richmond.
South Carolina: The conuties of
Aiken, Richland, Fairfield, Kershaw
and the remaining portion of Lancas
ter are released from quarantine.
Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee
have succeeded in completely wiping
out the cattle tickkk. In Tennessee 42
counties were infested. California and
Virginia also are now practically free
from the pest. Figures from other
states, however, are not so favorable,
as is shown by the fact that in North
Carolina but 59 per cent, of the in
fested territory has been cleaned up.
After North Carolina comes South Car
olina with 53 per cent.; Mississippi 4*
per cent,; Oklahoma, with 42 percent.;
Arkansas, with 25 per cent.; Texas
i 22 pe r cent., and Georgia with IS
per cent. Louisiana is next to last,
with only 4 per cent.
