PAGE TEN FLORIDA SHORT ROUTE TO GO BY WAY OFDAWSON ALBANY, Sept. 26.—The commit tee of seven empowered by the Flor ida Short Route association to select R temporary route for that highway through Georgia, has announced its selection. The highway will come in o Georgia at Columbus and touch < ussetta, Rich’and, Weston, Dawson, Sasser, Albany, Camilla, Pelham. Thomasville, Boston and Quitman in Georgia. The route continues into Florida byway of Madison and Lake City. The Alabama towns to be tou<-hed are Huntsville, Gadsden and Anniston The committee making the selection was composed of R. j : Edgerly and E. H. Kalmon, of Al bany: Reuben Kyle and John B. Me-: Collus, of Columbus; James W. Har ns, of C uthbert; F. C. Sears and John Watts, of Shellman, all of whom were disinteiested for the reason that Al bany and Columbus were assured places on the route, and the other three committees lived in towns wh'ch were not seel ing place on it. Two routes were offered between here and Columbus; one byway of Dawson and Richland, which won out over the other one byway of Ameri cus and Buena Vista. Between here and Florida two selections were also offered, the Thomasville-Quitman; route winning over the Moultrie-Val dosta route. Advertising matter de scribing the way into Florida has ben forwarded to all the automobile clubs in the Middle West, and it is expect-, ed that some of the winter tourists travel will be diverted this way. 1 ' Statement of The Condition of The PLAINS BANK.

Mosquitoes. The Government Health Service and every othet agency known to man is being used to exter minate them. Once they were looked upon as an annoyance only; scientists now know that they leave in their wake deadly disease germs, especially Malaria. Those who are in a position to know, vouch for the fact tl at they ! have been the cause of more diseases and death than all the wars from the beginning of time. Mosquitoes will probably never be exterminated. We can, however, by pioper screening and spraying of our homes daily with TORMENT, rid our household of them. TORMENT is a gaseous vapor in which no insect can live. Sold by druggists, general stores and dealers everywhere. The price is 25 cents per bottle, do not pay more. Manufac tured by The G. B.

IF YOU AMEND I YOU KILL PACT, SAYS tfILSON j Aboard President Wilson’s Special Train. —More and more as he moves j eastward on his journey about the j country in behalf of the league ot nations, the president is talking '‘plain I talk” to those senators who are op posing the acceptance by the United I States of the great plan for the end ing of all war. He knows he has the : great body of the citizenry with him, and he is becoming unsparing in his j criticism of the handful of legislators I who threaten to hold up ‘the resto- I ration of peace and normal conditions | to the whole world. Wilson Uses Vigorous Language Particularly vigorous were his re-! marks when, stop! ipg at Cheyenne, j Wyo., ou his way toward Colorado, | from the coast, he took up that par- I ticular reservation which certain ot! his opponents in the senate want at .ached to the ratification of the treaty. That Republican measure reads as fol lows: ‘"The United States assumes no ob- ' ligation und the provisions of Arti- . j cle X to preserve the territorial in-| ! tegrity or political independence of I any other country, or to interfere in I i controversies between other nations, whether members of the league or not, ; or to employ the military or naval i forces of the United States under any ■ article of the treaty for any purposes, [ unless in any particular case the con- I gress which under the Constitution i has the sole power to declare war or authorize the employment of the mili tary and naval forces of the United States, shall by act or joint resolu ti(® so declare.” Unworthy And Ridiculous The president declared: "Such a thing is unworthy and ri diculous, and 1 want to say distinctly I as I read this, that I would change ! the entire meaning of the treaty and exempt the United States from all re i tponsibilities for the preservation of peace. It means the reject’on of the treaty, nothing less. It means that the j United States would take from under | the structure its very foundations and ! support. ”1 wish to call vhe attention of I those who favor this reservation to I the fact that if any such reservation as tiiat should be adopted. 1 would be • obliged as the executive of the Unit ed States to regard it as a rejection of the treaty." The president pointed out that the reservation—-meaning the treaty's re jection- would exclude us from all the peoples —those of Germany and those of the United States. He said that Germany's dearest desire, .eeling her present isolation, is to see us also cut off from the gallant people with whom side by side we fought the war. I The .' ejection of the treaty would mean, he reiterated, that we would have to make a separate peace with Germany. He added: "It would mean simply the govern meat of the United States going, hat ’ in hand, to the assembly at Weimar and saying: 'May it please you we ‘ have dissociated ourselves from those who were your enemies; we have come to you asking if you will con sent to terms of amity and peace which will dissociate us, both of us. from the comradeship of arms and ot 1 liberty." There is no other interpre tation. That is the issue, and every American must face it. Refers To Chateau Thierry The president told eloquently of the victories at arms gained by the American soldiers at Chateau Thier ry Belleau Wood and the Argonne, when, advised by the allies to turn back, they aske.l the typical Amer niioo'inn’ PERSONAL.
