FEDERALAID WITHHELD
AND STATE MUST ACT
With the idea that the war fs oier
and the man power of the country is
not a national need in fighting the
Hun any longer, the Congress v,'tilth
died March -1th did not provide any
funds l'or the* continuation of the In
terdepartmental Social Hygiene
Hoard, which organization lias had
charge of the fight against tho na
tional menace of venereal disease.
The Congress thinks this it now a
local problem and that each state
should take up the tight just as they
do any other health problem, smallpox,
typhoid fever, etc.
The funds for Geor.-ia will be con
tinned until its allotment Is exhausted,
which will bo some time tills fall.
The State cannot afford to lei. the
work cease, at it has accomplis’ncd
too much good. It could not possibly
do all that tho national government
hat done, but it should at least eoa-
tlnuc its educational work, the Was-
sermann Department and the distribu
tion of the treatment for sypltilis and
the prevention of blindness.
The coming legislature should make
I rovisiun for this much of (ho work at
least. The entire state has partici
pated in the good coining front this
work. It has been most unusual and
most popular with the physicians and
the people in general; it should be
continui d by all means.

Washington, May, 2.—(Constit: ticn

arising cut of the sale recently by
the war department cf 81,000,000
pounds of canned meats at 6 1-la a

packers’ average wholesale prices to

pertinent in Atlanta, for the sale of
$1,000,000 worth as a minimum of
these goods.
M :ro sensational, however, were
the facts brought out at the confer
ence. It appears that the t’arinfchoal
syndicate had already marketed, un
der a government contract as stated,
in the neighborhood of $000,000 worth
of the goods when t oy were stopped
on their canned meat contract by the
recent *1,000,000-pound sale, it de
veloped that the Carmichael s;>ndi-
eatt was realizing an average, of 14-
l-4e a po. nd net to the government
for tho same meat that was subsc.
ouently sold on blcc to the Philadel
phia syndicate at it great deal less
than one-half price.
These sales were being made by
the Carmichael syndicate through
merchandise brokers througho.it the
United States, and when the transac
tion was completed with the I . tin
delphia parties there were thirty car
loads of these goods out of tit; Cand

Two solid car loads of peanuts wet-

The peanuts were shipped from

car* contained practically two thous.

Monday.
Mr. Garrard stated Tuesday that
he proposed to plant every act*-- of

velvet beans and other crops ot such

of raising erftton and that there would
be no room left on his plantation for

The price received for the peanuts
shipped by him this week were not.
satisfactory, Mr. Garrard stated but
he also took occasion to make it clear
that tho cotton he made during the
past year under boil weevil condi
tions would not at this time bring a
price that would be pleasing to ac
cept. Therefore, ho stated, that un

say that he made a poor deal in the
