COURT SESSION ■ fflll CONTINUE NNOTHEB WEEK While little business and but very few cases have been disposed of this week in the city court of Americus, the dockets still contain a formidable array of cases, and still another week will be devoted to the end of reducing the number, somewhat. During the current week a recess of two days was take n by the court, while the two days AMERIMOTi!®MRDER MA RELAXES OPIUM FIGHT 15 MONEY NEEDED PEKING, Oct. 9.—The effect of the war upon China have been severe in many ways, and one of the worst is that the Government, driven for need of money to desperate straits, has now been compelled to relax, for the purpose of revenue, on the splendid opium reform which it had achieved in recent years to the amazement of the world. The Chinese Governmentr has been living for a number of years on loans procured from European countries. These loans came to an abrupt end when the war began. The Chinese Government endeavored to make (do mestic loans, but succeeded only in' a comparatively insignificant way. It 1 is now trying to intitute a new s system of taxation, but is making little pro gress and recently agents of the Min istry of Finance have come to an agree ment with a combination of foreign opium merchants in Shanghai to per mit six thousand cases which have been lying there for over a year to enter the province of Kiangsu on pay ment of a surtax of SISOOO a case, making for the government $9,000,000. These six thousand cases represent the last of the Jndian opium that will come legally to China. This was stock which was certified by the Brit ish Government in India and permitted to come to China during the last few years before the British Government finally terminated the shipments to this country. Since that time opium merchants in Shanghai have been fighting hard to get the drug into China, and the Chinese have been struggling to keep it out. Now, how ever, the Chinese Minister of Finance, Chow Hsueh-hsi, being driven to des ptrate ends, has (undoubtedly with the sanction of President Yuan, without whose approval it could not be done) agreed to settle this long standing ouestion by allowing opium to be con sumed in Kiangsu for, it is estimated, at least two more years. Meantime, governors of different provinces, according to authentic and persistent reports, have also modified their restrictions on the planting of the poppy, because of the need of money and the large revenue which can be derived from the sale and transit of opium. following were consumed in the hear ing of one case of no considerable magnitude.

Senator Smith is staying while in Atlanta at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ronald Ransom.

GREAT GRAVE IN RUSSIAN CEMETERY PIOTROKOW, Poland, Oct. 9.—lt is doubtful that any place in the war zone contains a grave of such propor tions as Piotrokow. Beside the littld cemetery, itself filled with individual graves of both Russians and Germans, is a vast mound covering 1,300 Rus sians who fell in the fighting here last November. The grave, which is at one corner of the battlefield, is marked by more than, a score of crosses, each bearing the names of the men lying under it. AMERICUS GEIS VISITATION FROM HMRYMOBARCH FIRST FROST OF WINTER HERE THIS MORNING. Americus shivered this morning in reality when Jack Frost made his ap pearance and formally heralded the ar rival of winter. Chilly weather pre ceded the advent of the frost king, whose coming was somewhat unex pected, and resulted in no damage whatever to crops or vegetation. Frost was plentiful along the lowlands north and west of the city, but was not visi ble in higher places about town. Last winter the first frost in Amqricus was on October 29th, or nearly three weeks later than Jack’s coming today. The crisp weather this morning put the coal carts back on the job, and the ice man upon half time. SmiFfSEMES INSURES GREATEST MILJEETIIG After an inspiring song service led by Charlie Tillman, Rev. J. A. Thomas made some remarks regarding the of fering which is to be made for these earnest evangelists, who have labor ed among us for three weeks. He im pressed upon the congregation that this meeting will have consumed at least one month of their time count ing the days coming and going, and getting to their next appointment at Thomasville, where they begin Sun day, the 19th. Th e good accomplished by Rev .Ar thus Moore, Charlie Tillman and Miss Jewel Tillman cannot be estimated by dollars and cents, and if Americus were to give them for their month’s work what it has paid for one day of circus, it would be a much better in vestment, instead of a demoralizing influence created by a one day’s stand of a circus. These people leave a blessing, and instead of vulgar songs our children are singing “Whosoever Meaneth Me,” “If Jesus Goes • With Me,” “Beautiful Deeds,” etc Old feuds have been settled, people have made restitution, homes have been made happy, and the moral at mosphere has been clarified, so let us do something worth while for this meeting. The envelope system is be ing used, which is a good one. You take an envelope, put in it what you can afford to give, write your name on it, hand it in by the close of Sun day morning’s service, and they are opened Sunday afternoon. In this way every one has an opportunity to contribute. Dr. Thomas says Ameri cus will do the right thing and we know she will. Any one not yet sup plied with a “thank offering” envel ope can get one from Mr. T. M. Fur low. REPAIRS HADE DN PAVING IN THE BUSINESS STREETS The street forces have been busy for two or three days making repairs in the paved section where the creo soted blocks “bucked” during the re cent rains. The upheavals this itme were the worst ever, and leaves many uneven patches in the principal streets. The creosoted blocks are all right for ; summer time and dry weather, but rains generally cause trouble. CHY “MAKE CHICAGO DRY" IS MOTTO WITH MADERS CHICAGO, Oct. 9. —A parade which it was planned would enlist the ac tive support of thousands marched to day along the streets of down town Chicago to the slogan “Make Chicago Dry.” The lines formed ten blocks south of the business district and included representatives of the various tem perance societies in the city, priests, rabbis and ministers; boy scouts, col leg students: church demon ination* and women’s organizations. Tlie long line of marchers was brok en at intervals by floats and nearly every group carried banners and trans parencies. The marchers showed their interest in the cause to which they are pledged by wearing white and blue caps inscribed on one side with the Chicago motto, “I Will,” and on the other, "For a Dry Chicago Vote. Yes.” The parade was marshalled in twelve divisions and the marchers enlivened the tedium of the hard way by sing ing temperance songs as they moved along. The demonstration was planned as a preliminary to a campaign to put the "wet and dry” question on the bal lets at the next spring election in Chi cago. Among the floats which attracted particular attention was a huge auto truck bearing a great basket in red, white, blue and gold, the parade col ors, and containing fifty children over whom waved the inscription: “The Flowers of Youth; Don’t Let Alcohol Blight Them." One of the churches presented a moving argument for tem perance in the shape of a group of six, clean cut, well-dressed young men, bearing a banner inscribed, “Before," and immediately preceding another group dresred to resemble derelicts, and labelled “After.” A conservative estimate placed the marchers at more than twenty-five thousand. The first division was led by the Salvation Army headquarters brass band, fifty strong. Five other Salvation Army bands had places in the procession with eight other musi cal organizations. ALABAMA MOVING IN THEIR TICK WORK WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 9.—Mark ed progress in tick eradication is re ported in Alabama in counties regular ly engaged in the work, and also in those engaged in perliminary tick eradication work in co-operation withti the United States department of agri culture.
