INJUNCTION IN THE
GEORGIA OIL CASE
INJUNCTION IS FILED IN OIL IN
SPECTION CASE TO PRE¬
VENT COLLECTING FEES
STATE NEWS CF INTEREST
Brief News Of Importance Gathered
From All Parts Of
The State
Atlanta.—An answer to the Texas Oil
company’s bill for an injunction to pre¬
vent the state oil department from col¬
lecting overplus fees for oil inspections
was filed in the United States district
court by attorneys representing J. J.
Brown state eommisioner of agricul¬
ture, and other defendants in the suit.
At tire same time the defendants filed
a motion alleging that the bill of tire
oil company was vague, uncertain and
insufficient and asking that the court
order the plaintiff company to make a
better statement of its allegations.
The answer of the state officials
denied that the collection of revenue by
the oil department was in violation
of the state and United States consti¬
tutions as alleged in the bill of the
Texas company, and denied also that
the inspections were made while the
oils were in interstate commerce
which wsa the allegation on which
the oil company had based its charge
that the oil department’s operations
conflicted with the constitution.
It was set out in the answer that
the oil company brings its oils into
this state in tank cars consigned to
the company itself; that the cars are
placed on private sidings belonging
to the company and that the oil is
later transferred to stationary tanks
from which it is delivered to the pa¬
trons of the company. Therefore, it
was contended that the oil is not in¬
spected by the state until it has passed
out of the hands of the carrier and
has reached its final destination in
this state.
The answer sets out further that the
state has the ri^iit to refuse to inspect
the oils until they have been placed
in barrels or oher packages for the
trade, but that this had never been
insisted on and that the state had
made its inspections while the oil was
in the tank cars at the request of
the company.
The state law governing these in¬
spections, it was stated, is legal and
violates no provision of the constitu¬
tion of the state or of the United
States.
Education Board Seeks Tech Plant
Atlanta.—That the only solution of
the congested condition which con¬
fronts Tlech high school is the acqui¬
sition of . the plant of the Georgia
school of technology, is the opinion
expressed by President Fred E. Win
burn of the Atlanta hoard of education.
Mr. Winburn also intimated that nego¬
tiations have been entered into be¬
tween members of the Atlanta board
of education and the trustees of Geor¬
gia Tech that promised favorable re¬
sults, as it is a well known fact that
Georgia Tech has outgrown its pres¬
ent quarters and must seek a site
upon which its natural expansion and
development may take place. The
plant of Georgia Tech, it is believed,
could be acquired for one million dol¬
lars, and should this property come
into the possession of the city it
would afford the municipality one of
the finest technological high school
plants in the world.
Savannah Secures Another Convention
Savannah.—In addition to the other
conventions which have been announc¬
ed for early dates in Savannah, the
city was glad to have definite infor¬
mation that the 1921 convention of
the National Order of Railway Teleg¬
raphers, which Jacksonville was en¬
deavoring to capture after tentative
promise to Savannah, will be held in
this city. The 1922 national conven¬
tion of Shriners will he held in Sa¬
ji mail if arrangements now under way
go through,, and commercial as well
as fraternal bodies are busy on the
preliminary campaign to lay plans to
cinch it. Word was received that
Savannah stands a good chance to get
the 1921 convention of the Interna¬
tional Association of Fire Engineers
Negro Given Life Sentence For Murder
Atlanta.—Ben McMurray, negro, ac¬
cused of slaying Fred Sowers, several
weeks ago, was given a life sentence.
Sowers was a white. It was contend¬
ed by the state that Sowers went to
the home of Ira Belle Harris, a negro
.woman, to buy some whisky; that Me
flurry was in the woman’s house and
'that in passing by Sowers, who was
seated in the room, she brushed
against him and McMurry with an oath
told Sowers ot “keep his hands oil
that woman.” , That Sowers made a re¬
ply, whereupon McMurry drew his
pistol and shot him to death.

Outlook Good tor Peaches
Macon. — Orchardists in Middle
Georgia agree that the heavy rains
and winds of the last few weeks have
not injured the prospects for a good
peach crop this year, but all agree
they "will be mighty glad to see sun¬
shine now for several days. If their
wishes in that respect are granted
they expect to be able to overcome the
short crop of 1919. With the outlook
good for this year, the orchardists are
turning ^heir attention to the cost of
peach crates, labor and kindred sub¬
jects. While labor is scarce and is
bound to cause more or less of a
problem for the peach growers, the
matter of crates seems to be giving
the chief concern this year. The crates
which have been in use for so many
years in shipping the fruit have ad¬
vanced from 14 to 3o cents, the latest
jump being from 28 cents up to 35
cents. Growers are also being made
to plank down the cash when they
take their crates from the factory.
The crate bills of most of the growers
reach into the thousands of dollars
and when that money must be paid
sdown in advance it is no wonder the
peach men live in a state of unrest
until they actually get their fruit
picked and shipped and the proceeds
in their pockets. Most of the trees in
the peach belt have shed their blos¬
soms, and are covered with green
leaves and tiny green fruit.
Spend $22,000 In Paving Machinery
Atlanta. — An appropriation of §22,
000 was authorized by the finance
committee of council for immediate
purchase of improved machinery for
street paving. Money for the purpose
was made availably |by anticipating
$2S,2o5.12 from general tax income,
and including 22 per cent to which
the schools are entitled. Action of the
committee in voting the large expendi¬
ture to equip the construction depart¬
ment with new mcahinery was based
on observation of the performance of
siqiilar machinery which is now being
used by the Brooks-Caliaway company
Molasses Industry Grows In Savannah
Savannah. — Savannah is to enter
the lists of cities which are big dis¬
tributing points for molasses. The
new industry located here is announc¬
ed by the Sugar Products Company of
New York, which selected Savannah
for a branch plant. One immense
tank, to hold 100,000 gallons of mo¬
lasses, has been completed, and an¬
other is in process of construction.
The first full cargo of raw molasses
from Cuba has arrived. Cargoes of
this kind will be discharged here into
huge tanks and then distributed by
rail to all parts of the country.
$10,000 Road Damage In Spalding
Griffin.—It has been reported at a
meeting of the citizens of Griffin and
Spalding county by the chairman of
the county commissioners, Hon. J. E.
Wallace, that the county sustained
about $10,000 damage from recent
floods to the roads and bridges, but
that there is every evidence that this
will be overcome by the prompt ac¬
tion of several gangs of repair men
who are being sent out under instruc¬
tions from the county commission and
the new supervisor of roads. Chair¬
man Wallace also reported that all
permanent concrete road work had
been delayed about ten days by the
recent heavy floods.
Two Negroes Shot In Desperate Battle
Atlanta. — Two negroes — Allen
Moody and Lockett Ealy, were shot in
a fight at a negro house on Electric
avenue, in which seven or eight ne¬
groes are said to have participated.
The Moody negro is believed to be fa¬
tally injured at Grady hospital, where
he was taken for treatment. Ealy was
brought to police headquarters and
locked up after a flesh wound in the
hip was dressed. The other partic'
pants escaped.
Bridge Gone; Car Goes Into Creek
Mcnticello.—Two tragic deaths oc¬
curred near Monticello, when the auto¬
mobile in which Will Marks and M.
Clyde Kelly, prominent young men
of Jasper, were returning to their
homes north of town, plunged into
Pope’s creek. The heavy rains washed
the bridge at that point away and as
the road had not been used for sev¬
eral days, it is thought the victims
had forgotten about the bridge being
gone.
Cracksmen Get Big Loot
Atlanta. — Approximately twenty
thousand dollars in jewelry and eight
thousand dollars in cash and checks
were obtained by cracksmen who
broke into the vault of a department
store here, according to reports to the
police. The robbery was discovered by
the janitor when We opened the store.
Two Killed In Crash At Jesup
Jesup.—Engineer J. Edward Leake
and his negro fireman, Jesse Little,
both of Savannah, were instantly kill¬
ed when train number 36, northbound,
on the Atlantic Coast Line, crashed
into a freight train at this place. Sev¬
eral cars were demolished.
Labor’s Support Given Strikers
Atlanta.—Resolutions indorsing the
stand of the union painters, plumbers,
steam fitters, and glass workers now
on strike in Atlanta, wen* passed at
a meeting of the Atlanta Building
Trades council, held at tiie Labor tem¬
ple, and a motion was adopted to
place the matter of further action in
the hands of the executive committee
of the council The council voted to
give the strikers its moral support
and whatever financial assistance if
necessarv
Established Modes
in Afternoon Frocks
IT F BUT one afternoon frock might he
A allowed in a wardrobe, we would
find most women selecting black or
dark blue satin as the material for
making it. Every experienced wom¬
an knows a frock of this kind to be
(he most useful thing in her posses¬
sion, and every year designers inter¬
pret the new styles in a variety of
ways, using plain black or blue satin
with the certain knowledge that the
frocks will please. Foulards in black
or dark color with white figures or in
other color combinations which have
been selected for illustration here,
are both good examples,, juf afternoon
frocks made in these popular fabrics,
and each leas something new to recom¬
mend it. The black lias a body cut in
kimono style with round neck and
short sleeves. The skirt is set onto
this body with a wide tuck and is gath¬
ered at the hips where it is shaped
FIND A BECOMING HAT
VERY woman may go to the mil
Ml/ linery shop determined to find a
hat that adds at least 20 per cent to
her attractiveness, for such a hat is
to he found there. There is so great a
variety of shapes and such diversity
of styles that it is not hard to follow
the advice conveyed by that reliable
old millinery adage which says a wom¬
an should look better with her hat
than without it. She may choose be¬
tween hats large, small and medium in
size, all good style, in endless variety
of shapes and materials and having
the advantage of real beauty in their
lines. If tiie head is an average size
it will not be hard to find a becoming
shape, but, if it is either larger or
smaller than the average, a hat must
be made to fit it, for this is the most
essential thing in the matter of beeom
ingness.
There are quite a number of little
hats with veils of net or lace playing
the most important part in their
adornment. Usually the veils are very
brief affairs draped cleverly on shapes
along with flowers. They are wonder
fully becoming. In a few models the
veil falls from the front of the bat
lust far enough to cover the eyes and
into a deep curve. The new feature
in this frock is the deep border at the
bottom of the skirt of a machine-made
smocking. The same smocking makes
tiie cuffs. A narrow frill of fine lace
at the neck and a girdle of heavy silk
cord, ending in a long and handsome
tassel, measure up to the quality ol
tiie dress.
The foulard dress appears to he
made with a tunic, but close in¬
spection reveals that a wide, ungath¬
ered flounce of georgette crepe and a
side drapery make tlie illusion of a
tunic where there is none. The bod¬
ice is mhde of blue georgette over
white, with drapery of foulard extend¬
ing over the shoulders. At the neck
and sleeves tiie white crepe is extend¬
ed beyond the blue, making a becom¬
ing finish. There is a wide, plain gir¬
dle ending in three flat loops at tlv
left side, made of tiie foulard.
is longer but not very long at the back.
On spring and summer millinery flow-!
ers, grains, grasses and grapes are |
featured and many have streamers of !
silk or velvet ribbon. An example of
these pretty trimmings—a revival of !
times gone by in the styles, appears ’
in the hat of lisere braid with its sash |
of moire ribbon and clusters of flowers
and grapes with wheat and grass
among them.
Among the hats for midsummer
there are many black ones of hair
braid and inalines or lace. Some of
them have velvet very ribbon wide brims with and single: col- j
lars of a
long sash end. Sometimes two or three j
very long-stemmed roses droop over j
the brim edge toward the back, and in ;
other models a variety of flowers j
posed flat on the brim, show through j
the transparent fabric. A lovely hat j
of hair braid and inalines shown in ]
tin- picture is all-black with airy
goura feathers springing up about the
crown.
THE CRACK O’ DOOM
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Folks Abandoning Old Drug
“Dodson's Liver Tone,”
Here in South,
Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's
horrible! Take a dose of the danger¬
ous drug tonight and tomorrow you
lose a day.
Calomel is mercury! When it comes
into contact with sour bile, it crashes
into it, breaking it up. Then is when
you feel that awful nausea and cramp¬
ing. If you are sluggish, if liver is
torpid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach
sour, just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson’s Liver Tone tonight.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten you
right up and make you feel fine and
vigorous, go back to the store and get
your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone is
destroying the sale of calomel because
it can not salivate or make you sick.—

Squirrel Builds Nests.
In the South, instead of living in the
hollow trees, the fox squirrels build
big nests in the top of the pine and
other trees—usually of Spanish moss,
says the American Forestry Magazine
of Washington. In these they sleep,
also carrying to them the pine cones*
just mentioned. In the hardwood fpr
ests of the North, dry leaves take the
place of the Spanish moss, and a con¬
spicuous nest is built with an entrance
hole at the side.

“I couldn’t bear anyone to even
touch me, I was so sore, not even to
turn me in bed. My sides, back and
head all pained me, just all the time.
“We had the doctor every day and
he did everything he knew how, it
looked like. Yet I lay there suffering
such intense pains as seems I can’t
describe.
“Finally, I said to my husband, ‘let
us try Cardui’ . . . He went for it at
once, and before I had taken the first
bottle the . . . came back, the soreness
began to go away, and I began to
mend. The intense pressure seemed
all at once to leave my head, and be¬
fore long I was up.
“I took three bottles and was well
and strong and able to do my work.
I believed Cardui saved my life. . . .
I cannot praise it enough for what
it did for me.”
