PAGE FOUR FORSTS «F SOUTH MG WITH PINE Standing Timber of Commercial Size Reaches Billions of Feet, Says Prominent Lumberman ’ ATLANTA, July 11.—A marked increase in the production of south ern pine lumber by the small port able mills is show by reports re ceived here in lumber manufactui ing circles. There has also been a notable increase in reforestation, tne reports state. “There are millions of feet of pine in Southern forests” said Craw ford Maddox, one of the Sopth’s best known lumber dealers here. “It is estimated by experts that forests from Virginia to Texas con tain an aggregate of 220,000,000,- 000 feet of standing pine timber of commercial size. Many large mills are already making plans for per manent and continuous operations, as building construction shows no let-up in any part of the South.” Mr. Maddox said that he had re cently purchased large tracts of timber in various sections of the South and that negotiations are now under wly for the purchase of others. AsJjfed regarding the atti tude of lumbermen toward refores tatioX, r - Maddox said that both dealers and manufacturers were the leaders in the movement their expert advice was sought by forest conservationists in practi cally every part of the country. savAnnah slim-slam ARTIST GOES TO GANG SAVANNAH, July 11.—J. M. Brown, colored, who used a rather ingenious scheme to defraud, was given a straight sentence of six months on the chaingang by Judge John Rourke, Jr., in the non-jurv session of the criminal section of the city court yesterday. He was charged with cheating and swind ling. Brown, who lived in a basement on Thirty-sixth street near Aber corn, had in his possession when arrested, 21 bottles of “ore stone” which proved to be colored water with a little mineral matter added. He had sold amounts upon the state ment that the contents of the bottle if used according to directions, pro vided, would ‘raise treasure” that had presumably be?n buried. One woman paid S3O for a single bottle of the stuff. It did not produce re sults and quite a number of com plaints were lodged with the auth nrties.

HUNT NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, July 11.—Every cloud has its silver lining, even in politics. The darker the clouds lowered over the Democratic contestans, wrangling to determine who, if anybody, should be nominated to carry forward the fight for free dom (fromßepublica n rule) this fall, the brighter and more burnish ed became the silver sheen from the Republican side of the thunder cloud. So bright, in fact, has the G. O. P. view of the political future be come that about half the cabinet at Washington isn’t even pretend ing to appear busy and important. And, although Republican admin istration heads, for purposes of the campaign, aren’t supposed to be in terested in things European, or to recognize any angles of interest in foreign affairs, except such as may be seen from a distance, the first two members ,of the cabinet are ac tually shutting up their desks, turn ing the keys over to subordinates,, and setting sail for that misguided continent where the terrible League of Nations has its home. So enchanting, indeee 1, does the political prospect appear to them, that even that international dragon inspires in them not the slightest fear. ♦ ♦ ♦ Charles Evan Hughes, secretar) of state, will follow the example of the Prince of Wales on his atest trip to America, and travel incog nito, as it were. The prine, you will remember, came among us last as plain Baron Renfew. Hughes will attempt tv shed his official identity as secre tary of state and will travel simply as a member of the American Bar Association. For it is to attend the annual meeting if that organ ization, which will he held in Lon don, that Hughes is, ostensibly, making the trip. Just why the American Bar Asso ciation should meet abroad is not generally understood. It has been suggested that the reason lies in the fact that the bar is no longer a legal institution in the U. S. A., and the association, being strictly legal in character, is meeting where there is no bar to bars. That, of course, is a pleasantry, but even at that may conceal a liquid has won great favor every where. No matter what insects trouble you, Sweet Dreams Spray will kill them—-while you look. It hasn’t failed yet. Try a can of Eweet Dreams Spray.

LADIES TOURNAMENT DRAWS BIG CROWD Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Caye and Mrs. McCleskey Winners Thursday Afternoon The ladies tournament i. f>- Americus Golf Club Thursday af ternoon drew a good crowd of spec tators, with the playing spirited throughout the afternoon. Part ners were selected by the lady golf ters competing in the tourney by lot, these being taken from among the male members of the club pres ent during the afternoon. Mrs. M. H. Wheeler won first, Mrs. W. C. Caye, Jr., second and Mrs. L. L McCleskey third prize offered for the tournament, un ; - form prizes being awarded each winner Two-ball foursomes were played by the contestants. Mrs. Wheekr played with G. O. Loving, and turned in an average of 32 1-4; Mrs. Caye played with W. D. Moreland, and turned in an average of 39 1-2, and Mrs. Mc- Cleskey played with James Fergu son and turned in an average of 40 1-2 . grain of truth. So fas as Hughes s concerned, however, his partici pation is purely that of a vacation ist. Anything he may pick up that will be helpful in guiding him secretary of state, after he resumes that role, will be considered as clear profit. The second cabineteer sailing for foreign parts, with his mind wiped free from worry as a result of the domestic differeneces of the Demo crats, is Andy Mellon, secretary of treasury. Having “cut a lemon” for the country ip his announcement last week that the treasury has on hand the greatest surplus in its history, Andy believes he can get away for a few months without the nation becoming bankrupt. Anyway, he’s leaving it with a nice roll of spend ing money to carry it over his ab sence. So he’s going to visit a Spa or two, relax, for a while in a villa far removed from any senatorial com mittee room, and make the most of his present impression that the Democratic donkey can kick its head off without disturbing his seat at the cabinet table. » ♦ * In addition to cabinet officials, diplomatic representatives are bid ding adieu to the U. S'. A. for the hectic period of the campaign. Per haps the most significant of these departures is that of Ambassador Hanihara, who returns to Japan to talk over the recent Japanese ov clusion act.

FORTDNE IN MS W Bl RECOVERED Southerners May Be Enriched Ky Litigation Against Gov ernment On Illegal Levies ATLANTA, July lib—Suits against the government to recover for direct taxes illegally collected from various states after the Civil War, in 1366, 1867 and 1868, if recovery is made and it seems prac tically certain—will bring millions of dollar to people of the South in the opinion of lawmakers here wh< are watching congressional action on legislation seeking the return ol such taxes. There have been a number oi efforts made to obtain legislation which would return to Citizens th' taxes levied upon cotton. It nov. appears, however, that the tax paid on cotton was not more thar one fourth of the direct taxes col lected by the government in disre gard of the constitutional provisioi requiring direct taxes to be reap portioned among the states accoid ing to population. Georgia citizens alone have an interest of more thar, ■eleven millions of dollars in tax re coveries. It involves altogethei about two hundred millions of dol lars.
