000 feet of standing pine timber of

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.

HUNTS a
WASHINGTON
BY HARRY B. 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.
If it is not found entirely satisfac
tory your dealer will refund the
purchase price without question.

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

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.

Ky Litigation Against Gov

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.
