Interesting Facts Gathered During thi Week by Our
Regular Correspondents.
TURIN.
This section seems to have been com
pletely overlooked, so far as county
road-working; is concerned. We are at
a loss to understand why this part of
the county is being thus neglected. The
roads have been badly washed by late
rains, the ditches are choked up with
trash and sand, and both need atten
tion. Now that crops have been laid
by and many hands are idle, would it
not bn a good idea to put some of them
at work on the roads'/ A number of
bridges and causeways are in need of
repair also, and the public safety de
mands that they be looked after. Work
ing the convicts only on certain favored
thoroughfares does not set well with
citizens and taxpayers in less favored
sections.
Judging from the number of convic
tions] for minor offenses at the late
term of the City Court, it appears that
negro culprits arraigned before that
tribunal "got it in the neck," as usual.
It occurs to us that many of these cases
are too frivolous for trial—an expense |
to the county that might be averted in
some way. In many cases also the pen
alty imposed seems out of proportion to
the gravity of the offense. I’unish the
criminally guilty by all means, but let
us temper justice with mercy in cases
of minor importance.
Politics is but little discussed in these
parts. So many good men are offering
for office the people are puzzled to
know whom to vote for. In fact, the
war cloud hovering over Europe, and
its possible effect upon the price of cot
ton, is causing our people more concern
than the conflicting claims of the nu
merous candidates in the field.

Come Out And Hear Him!
Plan to Prevent Losses on Cotton.
WaHhington Special to Atlanta Constitution.
Washington, Aug. 4.—How to pro
tect the South and its cotton industry
from disastrous losses growing out of
the European war was the subject of
an important conference held to-day in
the office of Senator Hoke Smith.
A committee appointed by Senator
Smith as chairman of last night’s meet
ing of Senators and Representatives
from cotton-growing States, met him
to-day and discussed the war cloud
whose shadow stretches over the entire
cotton industry.
It was decided to send a sub-commit
tee to confer with President Wilson in
regard to the situation and others to
talk with Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and Secretary of State Bryan.
The difficulty that must be overcome
is that of getting cotton to the Euro
pean spinners. It is inevitable that
many of the mills will be shut down be
cause of the war in sections which are
in the pathway of the armies, and oth
ers because of the demoralization of
the force of operatives. But there is
no reason to doubt that most of the
mills in the Lancashire district of Eng
land will be kept open and running full
time.
From the various departments of the
Government the Southerners will seek
counsel and advice on these features:
First —How to finance the cotton crop
during the period of the war.
Second —How to transport the crop
to foreign markets, in view of the lack
of foreign ships.
Third—The actual condition of the
mills abroad.
"The main thing to look after first,”
said Senator Hoke Smith, "is the trans
portation and consumption of the cot
ton. We want to get this cotton con
sumed so as not to have a surplus to
glut the market. If we can facilitate
consumption, the danger will be alle
viated.”
The committee named to see the
President will consist of Senators Hoke
Smith of Georgia, Overman of North
Carolina, Bryan of Florida, and Rep
resentatives Underwood of Alabama,
and Lee, of Georgia.
Representative Lever, of South Car
olina, is chairman of the sub committee
which will call on Secretary McAdoo
and endeavor to devise some plan to
enable the farmers to hold their cotton,
or to have it held in warehouses as se
curity for loans and sold only as n«?ded.
A tremendous impetus has been given
by the war to the movement for the
development of an American merchant
marine. The Alexander bill, which
passed the House on yesterday and was
favorably considered by a Senate com
mittee to-day, will liberalize the navi
gation laws. Foreign built ships owned
by Americans may be brought under
American registry, regardless of how
long ago they were constructed, under
the new law.
The Weeks bill, which the Senate has
passed, permits the use of auxiliary na
val vessels in the merchant trade to
Europe and South America when not
needed for naval purposes.
Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mis
sissippi, offered a bill to-day to permit
the Government to buy merchant ships
wherever she could obtain them and op
erate these ships during t^e present
disturbance of business. It is probable
that the owners of ships sailing under
the flags of governments which are
now at war, would be glad to part with
them at 50c. on the dollar to save them
from entire destruction at the hands of
an enemy’s fleet.
All these movements in Congress
tend one way —that is, to the upbuild
ing of a line of American merchantmen
to improve the unparalleled opportuni
ties for extension of foreign trade now
presented to the United States.
After the European war of extermi
nation is over, the United States will
probably be the richest and most pow
erful nation on the globe.
Senator John Sharp Williams predict
ed to-day that American, British, Dutch
and Scandinavian merchant ships soon
would be operating, because he believed
the German fleet would be bottled up
in the Baltic and there would be no fear
of carrying on commerce. The British
cotton mills, he believed, would contin
ue to operate, and he also expressed
confidence that some of the French
mills would remain in operation and
need American cotton.
New York, Aug. 4.— Steamships fly
ing the American flag and engaged in
the coastwise trade for the most part
are to be offered to the Government for
trans-Atlantic service. Offers of many
vessels have been sent to Commissioner
of Navigation Chamberlain at Washing
ton.
The question of insurance, although
the rates may be thought excessive,
can be settled after the ships are found,
it is said. The most suitable vessels
for the transportation trade are the Pa
cific liners now engaged in the trade
with Asia. These might be brought
through the Panama canal.
Of vessels already in Atlantic waters
the best for a trans-oceanic service
would be twenty-three of the Southern
Pacific line, all fit for over-ocean sail
ing.
The vessels of the American line fly
the flag of the United States and can
continue to cross the ocean in safety.
In addition there are two Red Star
steamships that are now of American
registry—the Finland and the Kroon-
land. This makes six ships of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine which
are immune.
There are besides available ships of
the Red D. line, the Ward line, the
Clyde, Old Dominion, and other lines en
gaged in the coastwise trade.
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 4.—The small
farmer who ships his product to this
port will be cared for by local factors.
This was definitely decided at a confer
ence to-day. The plan is to induce the
big planter to hold his product at home
until conditions improve.
All producers will be advised that
there is no market for the staple in Sa
vannah now. The entire factorage in
terests here propose forming a pool in
order to tide over the crisis which will
develop with the beginning of another
season, and take prompt measures to
care for the staple which cannot beheld
at points of production.
Savannah, Aug. 4.— A serious prob
lem confronts transportation lineB, ex
porters and business people generally in
this territory through the probable con
gestion at the port of Savannah of
commerce destined for foreign points.
Steps are already being taken by
railroad officials to prevent the ship
ment of staple goods to Savannah. The
idea that is being considered is to have
all export freight held at its place of
origin until the present condition is re
lieved. At present the export trade is
stagnated. Not a vessel has left for a
foreign port in days, and ,the prospect
for an early movement is becoming
more doubtful every day.
The cotton and naval stores people
feel the effects of the European disturb
ance more keenly perhaps than all oth
er interests combined. Familiarity with
the situation has caused the gravest
concern to the interests handling and
financing the movement of these com
modities.
Can Doubt Sworn Testi
mony of Honest Citizens
Sometime ago I began the use of your
Swamp-Root with the most remarkable
results. For years I was almost a wreck
and was a great sufferer. The doctors
who treated me made me believe that
my great sufferings were due to female
trouble. I was so bad at times I would
faint away, and had sinking spells.
Finally a new doctor was called in and
he said that I had kidney trouble and
gave me medicine, of which I took
several bottles. I obtained some relief
from this, but I was getting weaker all
the time; I could not sleep and suffered
so much pain that my husband and
children had to lift me in and outof bed.
After this two friends sent me word to
try Swamp-Root, which I did, and I
1 am glad to state that the first dose
gave me great relief. After taking the
third dose I was helped into bed and
sleet half the night.
I took several bottles of Swamp-Root
and I feel that I owe my life to this
wonderful remedy. The two family doc
tors said that 1 could not live three-
months. I would have to be helped in
and out of bed ten to twenty times
every night. After taking Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp Root for two days I was entire
ly free from getting up and could sleep
soundly.
