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.
