THOMASVILLE, Ga, September 5.- The farmers of south Georgla are be; lng urged to use peanut meal for feed ing their hogs, Instead of fresh nuts, as has been the custom for so long In this section.

Housewives who are wise will greet the succulent bivalve as a life saver, or at least as a great money saver, In these times when the prices of almost all edibles are soaring sky- ward. Oysters are about the only food the price of which lias not doubled or tripled during the past few years. Other necessities have been steadily soaring in cost for some years, and now the war has put another burden on the hack of tho consumer. But tho oyster is expected to sell this winter for about the same price at which It has been sold for many years. There may he a tremendous increase in the cost of "fancy" oysters listed by name on menus and consumed by the luxurious few, but the common, every-day oyster is expected to be about as cheap as ever.. cus, hut few are being sold. LARON LAW IS BAD SAYS HARDWICK THIS LEGISLATION AS CNCON STITUIONAL IN SPEECH TO BAR ASSOCIATION. SARAOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Septem- »uu ui* l-iumud lusueu lu me ucyuiD, ber 5.—The opinion that the “most .*'hich were soon made the objective.of dangerous assault upon the autonomy • - - - o! the states, upon the integrity of 1 o* cal self-government, that the entire history of our country records, was made by the congress of the United States when it passed the recent so- called ‘child labor law',” was expressed here by Senator Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia, before the members of the American Bar association In an ad dress on the regulation of commerce between the states under the com merce clause of the constitution of the United States. “If It be within the power of con gress to pass the recent child labor legislation, why Is It not within Its power to legislate so as to deny the privileges of interstate commerce to legitimate and wholesome commodities because they are produced by the la bor of women?” the senator said. “Or because produced by union la bor? Or because produced by labor that was employed more than eight hours, or more than six hours per day? Who can say where it will stop, or how It will end? “If congress, on the pretext of regu lating commerce between the states, may lawfully regulate the processes of manufacture and productions may fix and control the hours and conditions of labor and may say who shall be per mitted to work in field and in factory, or mine and In mine and in workshop in every state of the j union, then It Is easy to see how speedily and how com pletely congress wllloisurp the rights of the Btates, deprive them of every re served power, strip them of their sov ereign police power and reduce them to a state of Impotent and insignificant vassalage. ^ :i “Unless it be speedily checked, we may not hope to see the glorious gov ernment founded by our fathers sur vive, for the chief glory as well as the distinctive feature of that government was its nicely adjusted, evenly balanc ed and finely tempered duality, which ITALIANS TAKE LAST AUST SESSION, GIVIN G THEM DOMI NATION OVER CITY OF GORIZIA— TO PUSH ON SOON. ROME), Italy, September 5.—The Ital ian army, with the capture last night cf Monte San Gabriel, Is now In pos session ot the entire mountain chain dominating Gorizla.

TERRELL COUNTY COWS MYSTERIOUSLY KILLED DAWSON, Ga., September 5.—M. D. Lalng, of the south part of the county, had five cows to die In a week from some mysterious cause. The cows would rub their heads and necks against posts, trees or houses, which ever was accessible, until they died. They usually lived from twelve to fourteen hours after being affected, and during that time never ceased rub bing. Mr. Lalng called In a local veterina rian, who confessed that nothing like It before had ever come under his ob servation, and the state veterinarian was appealed to That official wrote that the trouble was due to a poison ous accumulation of some kind on the grass In the pasture, and recommend ed that the cattle be moved from It. This was done, and since then not an other death has occurred. Mr. Lalng says that he has been told by older citizens that the unusual ac tion and death of his cattle was due to eatink yellow jassamlne, and he In tends to obtain a cheap yearling and give that theory a test.

The great airship bulld- |rg program now under way calls for 16,000 to 13,000 aviators, and the gov ernment wants all tho good first-class men It can get. Major Jones is mak ir.g a tour of the different military de partmenta of the government! and In the Southeastern department his only stop will be In Atlanta.
