The Advice of Asquith PARIS, June 21.—Mr. Asquith’s ad vice to the British delegates to the recent interparliamentary economic conference to “be careful not through excitment or blindness, or with the desire to clinch a victory, to take measures that will do you more harm than the enemy,” was well given, in the opinion of some French economic writers. Before the first interparliamentary conference there were fears in French as well as in English circles as to what might be the results of unauthor - itative discussion by parliamentarians of international affairs, and the results of the economic conference have not allayed such fears. Max Hoschiller, in the Revue De Paris says there is great danger that the hasty conception of these confer ences, put into practice, would turn against their authors, and that the only plan ofeconomi c reciprocity be tween the Entente Allies thus far de veloped is of a nature to arouse the liveliest apprehensions; that it is even liable to bring about differences and provoke grave conflicts of interest between the Allies after the war. M. Hoschiller declares “impossible of application between the Allies them selves,” the protectionism in four de grees proposed by the conference, as follows: Reciprocal preferential tariffs be tween the United Kingdom and its colonial possessions. Reciprocal and preferential tariffs, secondary to the foregoing between the British Empire and its Allies. Favorite treatment, but in the third order of preference, to neutrals. Prohibitive tariffs on products of countries now enemies of the Entente Powers. ' In the first place, the preferential reciprocal tariffs proposed for the United Kingdom with its colonial pos sessions put Great Britain in hostility with Russia and in eventual conflict with her own colonies. The latter, M. Hoschiller expects, will seek larger advantages from the exceptional sit uation in which events have placed them as providers of raw materials in this industrial war. Canada, which bought more than $426,000,000 worth of goods from the United States during the fiscal year 1914-15 and only $90,000,000 from Great Britain notwithstanding prefer, ent lai duties of 33 1-3 per cent would be reluctant to consent to an economic arrangement that would impede im portations from the United States to the profit o fthe mother-country, and pay dearer for products which the latter woudl not perhaps be in posi tion to furnish. Canada, at the same time, is the gerat competitor of Russia in the British market, its exportations of wheat to England having gone from twenty-one per cent, of the total in 1882 to 54 per cent of the total in 1911, while Russia’s percentage of British consumption remained stationary at WONDER PRESSING CLUB A.

LEJE STREET CASA MARKET bene m Hudson Buildlt* about fifteen per cent. Discrimination against Russia would shut her out of the market altogether. Russia's im portations of wheat into Germany were 519,000 tons as against 318,000 from Canada. N. Boradaievsky, point ed out the significance of these figur es to the Pan-Russian Agricultural Congress, stated that unless the En tente Allies facilitate the exportation of Russian products the empire would be forced after the war into an econ omic arrangement with Germany. Prof. Migouline, president of an economic commission atached to the Russian Ministry of Finance, wrote re cently that it would be impossible for Russia to boycott a country like Ger many, which was before the war its best customer, unless the Entente Al lies opened their markets more large ly. He points out that Great Britain bought in foreign markets in 1913, 850,000,000 rubles in cereals and 2,- 740,000,000 rubles in alimentary pro ducts of which Russia’s part was only 1225 million rubles, insignificant in comparison with Russia’s exports to Germany. COLOUIT COUNTY IS STILL AGITATED OVER TICK ERADICATION At a recent meeting of farmers of Colquit county held in Moultrie, and who are opposed to the campaign of tick eradication, resolutions were ad opted, calling upon the county com missioners to let the people vote on the question at an election to be held on July 1. Both sides agreed to abide by the results of the election. The opponents of tick eradication work were in the majority at the meet ing and elected one of their number as chairman. The meeting was stormy at times and, just before adjournment, some fifty speakers were on their feet at one time. The county authorities say that if any election is held, interested .parties will have to call it and that it doesn’t make any difference which way it goei, it will not alter their determination to go forward and eradicate the cattle tick from Cblquitt county. It is said that only a small number of those in favor of the campaign at tended the mass meeting, which went on record as being in favor of settling the question by an election, and that the .real majority of the supporters of the tick eradication work believe that such action would only serve to in crease the friction between the twi factions. VALDOSTA TO HAVE SOCIA- LOGICAL MEET THIS TALL Interest in sociological work is growing throughout the whole coun try. A meeting looking to the ad vancement of the work in the South is to be held in Valdosta sometime this fall. A news dispatch says: A session of the Southern Sociolog ical congress for Georgia and Florida will be held here during the early fall, the dates to be announced later. J. J. Newman, president of the chamber of crmmerce, is in receipt of a communi cation from J. E. McCulloch, general secretary of the congress, announcing that he soon will be in Valdosta to arrange for Hie meeting. Miss Rule, of the faculty of the South Georgia State Normal college, who attended the recent congress at New Orleans, and Miss Agnes McKen na, probation officer for Lowndes county, initiated the movement for a session of the congress at Valdosta. At the time the congress assembles I here it is proposed to have a meeting iof mayors, councilmen and county commissioners of south Georgia with i. I view to organizing and pushing the work to be outlined. THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION BROKE ALL RECORDS HERE The State Sunday School Convention held in Atlanta, June 13th, 14th, 15th, broke all past records in many ways. There were 2,106 registered delegates as compared with 1376 last year which was the previous high record. The del egates were classified as follows: 135 pastors 299 superintendents 1,001 teachers and Sunday school officers and 671 others. These delegates were from 131 counties. The reports of the employed workers show marked progress. During the past year they held 126 county conven tions and attended 202 meetings of other kinds. They delivered a total of 1,053 addresses, and traveled 45,781 miles. The treasurer’s report showed that while more work had been done and the expenditures larger than that in previous years, all bills were paid. The reports also showed that all ex cept 19 counties in the state were or ganized, 12 had reached the Gold Star Standard, and 51 the Banner Standard. A new feature of the convention this year was the Adult Bible Class parade, which was estimated at between 1,500 and 2,000 men in line. The parade was composed of all men delegates to the (Convention, and Men’s Bible classes of Atlanta. Looking to the Future. The convention in session voted to continue the work on the same general lines for the ensuing year, and to try t< raise sufficient funds to put on an additional worker in the field, which will probably be a “Ten Age Special ist.” At the last session of the conven • tian a special offering was taken to begin the fund for this purpose. Another forward move taken by the association was the formation of a State Adult Bible Class federation, to be composed of all organized Bible classes of the state. The officers elect ed for this federation were president, Floyd Field, Atlanta; vice president, R. H. Ferrell,Albany; secretary, Miss Flora Davis Atlanta. The convention also voted to hold the next session in Savannah. ■ _ _ W r Beautify Your Complexion Not artifically, but perma nently, by drinking one pint of this delicious, digestive tonic with each meal.

RAILWAY MAIL PAY IS ONE OF OOESTIONS ATLANTA, Ga., June 21.—" Why does not the government pay the railroads for mail in the same way that any other corporation or individual has to pay for services rendered b> the rail roads?” asked a railroad official of a postoffice man, in discussing one of the big questions now before congress. “Why dilly, dally around with a matter that needs only common sense, busi ness methods to settle It once and for all?" added the railroad man. The postoffice man didn't know, hence here are some facts on the subject: The postofflee appropriation bill now beofre congress involves the railway mail pay basis. It has been agitated by the railroads in Georgia and every other state in the union for the last year or more on the ground that the existing remuneration is unfair. Hav ing been woefully negligent in adjust ing this matter to date, according to tailroad men, the government seems equally indifferent as to the manner in which the question is to be handled now. Under the present method of pay ment, as pointed out, the railroads re ceive a sum that is ridiculously stnall in consideration of the burdens im posed. Every four years an estimated weight is taken by an investigation of actual weight covering a period of 105 days. Upon this estimated weight the railroads receive so much for handling all mails, whether the actual work of handling them be vastly different from that of the 105 days, or whether or not the mails increase or decrease in gross weight at any time.
