FARMERS OF SOUTH
GREATLY BENEFITED
Southern Members Highly
Elated Over Amended
Currency Bill.
Woshington, D. C.. Aug. 30.
While Democratic leaders sought
to make the Glass-Ovven currency
bill a general measure, leaving to
a later Congress the question ot
farm credits, it is not believed
that the administration has hurt
itself in anyway by making it.
clear that farm products are as
good as gold or the note of Rock
efeller in the hands of federal re
serve banks. As it was, the in
corporation of the amendment
was merely making plain the in
tent of the bill, for those who
framed the original measure
claimed that notes secured by
farm products could be redis
counted, and that the clause re
ferring to ‘ ‘speculative purposes’ ’
would be construed to mean
speculation in'stocks and bonds.
Now that the fight is settled,
there is rejoicing among the
Southern members that the farm
er can pay for his year’s supplies
without having to sacrifice his
cotton by selling at a low ebb j
market. And it does not mean
that ninety days is all the credit
he can get. If he borrows mon
ey on his cotton in September by
the time payment is due money
will be easy. Crops will have
been moved, debts will have been
paid and there will be no reason
why the notes cannot.
FRIENDS OF CLAYTON
URGE HIS CLAIMS
Want Him Seated In U. S.
Senate —To Submit Ad
ditional Argument.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 30.
Permission has been obtained by
the friends of Henry D. Clayton,
appointed senator from Alabama
by the Governor of that state, to
make additional argument before
the Senate Privileges and Elec
tions Committee, notwithstand
ing the elaborate presentation of
his case to the committee last
night by Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, and R. B. Evans, le
gal adviser to Gov. O’Neal. The
committee will take some time
for the consideration of the ques
tion inasmach as the manner of
filling every vacancy in the Sen
ate membership possibly as late
as 1921 depends upon the out
come. Supporters of A1 r. Clayton
contend that under the new di
rect election amendment vacan
cies in the terms of the Senators
chosen at the time the amend
ment went into effect this year
must be filled by selections by
the State Legislatures and not by
direct elections at the polls.
In the case of the term of
Senator-elect Broussard of Louis-1
iana, this would call for the Leg
islature to fill a vacancy in his j
term of office, should one occur
before 1921, notwithstanding the
people of the state will elect a
successor to Senator Ransdell of
Louisiana in 1918. They also
contend the Maryland Legisla
ture must elect a Senator to fill
out the term of the late Senator
Rayner, now occupied by appoint
ment by Senator Jackson.
It is figured that five seats will
fall vacant before 1918, and will
be filled according to the decis
ion of the Senate, acting upon
the suggestion of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections in
the Clayton case.

State Game Warden
May Lose Place.
Atlanta, Aug. 30.—Georgia
politicians, who are in a position
to know, are predicting that it
will not be long before there is
another state game and fish com
missioner in Georgia, succeeding;
the incumbent, Hon. Jesse Mer
cer, of Fitzgerald, who has held
the position since the creation of
the office.
It is reported that when Gov.
John M. Slaton returns from
Colorado Springs, where he is at
tending the conference of the
governors, that one of his first
official acts will be the appoint
ment of Charles Davis, of Warm
Springs, as successor to Mr.
Mercer.
Mr. Mercer’s term expires
Sept. 1, but under the law he re
mains in power until his suc
cessor is named. In the mean
time friends of Mr. Mercer will
bend their efforts towards con
vincing the Governor that Mr.
Mercer has been a most efficient
and conscientious official.
Judge Hawkins Held Court
in Monroe Last Week.
Forsyth, Ga., Aug. 31.—After
a busy week’s session the August
term of Monroe superior court
adjourned yesterday afternoon.
Practically all of the jail cases
were disposed of and the court
adjourned until the first Monday
in December to complete the
criminal docket.
In the absence of Judge R. T.
Daniel, who was ill at his home
in Griffin, Judge K. J. Hawkins
of the Dublin circuit, presided.
At the close of the week’s session
the Forsyth Bar Association held
a meeting and unanimously
adopted a' set of resolutions
thanking Judge Hawkins for
his kindness and consideration
and praising him for his courtesy,
his fairness and his firmness in
the discharge of his duties on the
bench during the past week.
Following the reading of
the resolutions Judge Hawkins
responded in a feeling speech.
It is understood that Judge
Daniel is much improved and
will be able to preside in Spald
ing court during the approaching
week.
Traveling by Stagecoach.
If mail coaching had its draw
backs, it had some pleasures that
a railway journey lacks. True,
the inside passenger had to pass
hour after hour in a miserably
cramped position. If he man
aged to sleep, he was very likely
to be awakened by some jolt that
uitched him into an opposite pas
senger’s arms.
It is an old story of the inside
gentleman who, desiring to get
out from the coach, was asked by
a lady why he wished to do so,
and answered, “Oh, only to
stretch my legs.”
“Pray don’t do that,” she
said. “I am sure they are long
enough already!”
The outsiders were, of course,
■ exposed to all elemental ills. But
I how pleasant were the fresh
| morning air, the jovial toot-toot
! of the guard’s horn and the ex
i hilarating gallop of the horses.
| How grateful the stoppages for
meals—above all, for breakfast—
at {rimitive and picturesque
country inns!
Doctor’s Finger Is
Cut Off In Cycle.
Bronwood, Sept. 1. —Dr. S. J.
Hargrove, a prominent young
dentist of Dawson, happened to
! quite a seiious accident here this
afternoon. While trying to ad
just a motorcycle in some man
ner, the first finger on his right
hand was caught in the drive
chain and was severed from his
hand. This will, in all probabili
ty incapacitate him for the prac
tice of his profession.
Dr. Hargrove is a former grad
uate of Mercer university phar
, macy school, having finished
with the class of ’O3. He after
wards attended the A’ lanta Dent
al college, and since his gradua
■ tion has been in the government
• service in Brazil. He boughtout
, the offices of Dr. Hoy] in Dawson
and resumed his duties there on
ly two weeks ago. He has many
friends over the state who de
plore his accident.
