WOMAN’S SKELETON FOUND IN ASHES OF NEGRO CHURCH Tuscaloosa, Ala.—Discovery of the skeleton of a young woman in the ashes of a negro church, four miles from Tuscaloosa, which was destroyed by fire early Wednesday, caused the entire forces of the sher iff’s office to start an investigation of a case that has immediately de veloped what they may term many mysterious angles. Coroner S. T. Hardin, a physician, said that a preliminary hearing has revealed that the woman was youth ful and tht he could not say wheth er she ws white or negro. The in quiry disclosed that the skull had been fractured and several ribs brko en. By the side of the skeleton of ficers found the steel reinforce ments of what was believed to have been an expensive suitease. A bar pin was near the body but it was burned to an extent that its pre /ious value could not be determined. A number of steel hairpins, the cor oner said, indicated that the woman was white. Steels from the woman’s stays indicated that she had been well dressed, it was added. Bits of charred silk were also found. The body is being held by the coroner pending efforts at identification.

The News-Herald c:;^o,ooo FOR SHOALS DAM Washington.—lmpressed by the necessity for the adequate power in stallation at the Wilson dam of the Muscle Shoals, Ala., project, Secre tary Weeks has recommended that the budget director approve an esti mate for $2,000,000 appropriation, which would double the capacity of the dam by increasing the rower units to be erected there from feur, as was originally contemplated, to a total of eight. Work of preparing specifications for the eight day unit installation al ready has been started by army en gineers. Army engineers believe that the $2,000,000 appropriation recom mended by Mr. Weeks, and which is supplemental to the appropriations already provided by congress for the completion of the dam on a four power-unit plan, will be suficient to meet the toatl costs of the additional four units. At the time Secretary Weeks sub mitted to congress the offer of pur chase and lease of the Muscle Shoals properties made by Henry Ford, he recommended that regardless of the action taken by congress on the Ford proposal, the ilson dam should De completed as was intended when the war-time development of water p<fw er and nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals was started. BANKS MUST PAY CASHIERS’ CHECKS U. S. COURT RULES Atlanta, Ga.—Payment of cash ier’s checks is held compulsory, no matter under what conditions they aregiven, according to the ruling of the United States circuit court of appeals in affirming the decision of Judge Samuel H. Sibley in favor of the Marine Bank and Trust compa ny, of New Orleans, in the amount of SIO,OOO against the Bank of Pal metto, Ga. Advices of the decision reached the law ofices of Watkins, Russell & Asbil, attorneys for the plaintiffs, Wednesday. The suit was brought to recover the amount of a draft drawn upon the Bank of Palmetto, which was represented in the suit by Smith, Hammond & Smith. The de cision was that one of the officials of the bank had been engaged in spe culation «n the cotton exchange at the time and that the draft was for the setlemen of money lost. Te decision settles a suit of three years’ standing, hinging on the right of a bank to stop payment on a cash ier’s check. • SCARCITY OF WATER IS FELT IN THOMAS Thonaasville, Ga—While six weeks ago the rivers and all streams in this section of the state were overflow ing their banks and there was a sur plus of water everywhere, there is general complaint now of not enough water. The rivers are all quite low and many ponds and small streams are dry. Some of the sawmill oper ators are complaining that they are handicapped by a scarcity of water for running and may have to shut down unless rains come soon. A few weeks ag® the woods were so wet that the mills could hardly get tim ber out for sawing, but conditions now seem to have turned entirely around.

County Clerk Niendorf of Michi gan issues with each marriage li cense “Ten Rules To Insure Happy Married Life.” Here is a sample: “Keep up the courtship period. Go 60-50 on the money and 60-60 on the love. Don’t live with relatives, or keep boarders. Don’t be a tight wad.” Such rules mean little. Every man knows that one drop of salt water, patiently stuied, will tell you all about the Pacific ocean, which is simply a collection of so many drops. Marriages would last longer if men realized that each woman is to all women what a drop of salt water is to the ocean. Study, analyze, inter est yourself in the woman that the Lord has assigned to you. One is enough, and has within her, if you will look for it, everything that you would find in ten thousand. Democrats, counting chickens even before the eggs are laid, say that Ford, running independently, will take so many farmers from the Republican party as to make Demo cratic victory certain. Democrats forget Ford’s chief plank wil tell of the wonderful things to be done for the south, at Muscle Shoals. Ford would draw farmers from the Republican party, but he might also break up the solid south, elect himself, and leave Messrs. Coolidge and McAdoo wondering what hap pened. Cotton prices are strong. October cotton passed 30 on Wednesday. De cember went above 29 yesterdya. Manufacturers would do well to buy hteir raw supplies now. Cotton will be higher—a good thing for the south, an'’ the north, as well. Investigation in New York shows children underfed, undersized. Their parents need money to pay high rents. Landlords say, quite truly, “It is not our business. We are taxed; wages and materials are up.” But it ought to be the CITY’S business, and it ought to be the bus iness of the entire white race, to see that young children are fed and have a chance. The undernourished children of Europe today may mean Asiatics ruling in Europe fifty years hence. The English interfered with child labor and child stunting, forbade the starving of children that they might be small enough for chimney clean ing, when they found that they grew up too smal for the army., In Germany the price of a loaf of bread jumps forty million marks in a day. That number of marks would have been one hundred and ter mil lion dollars before the war. No t. 11- ing what will happen to men when their money goes as crazy as that. Even Nature seems to be fighting against miserable men. In South Africa, a deadly drought and scorch ing wind storms have dried up the water supply, while locusts, in swarms, have estroyed green plants. It is feared that all 'cattle will die. War, disease, droughts, earth quakes, money panics, tidal waves, and worst of all, human beings and nations intent only on robbing and killig each other. Certain philosophers have thought that among planets there might be som very sick, as there are sick in dividuals among human benigs. This must be one of the sickest planets. The Poles and the Turks have signed a treaty of “perpetual peace” and the document was probably sigred on both sides without a smile. It’3 good treaty for the present, however, for with Russia getting strongu and wanting Pol :nd on one side, hto Dardanelles ar-.i the door in'n '.he Mediterranean er. am I her Poles and Turks will hong together, or take their chances separately. The Shah of Persia, invited to at tend the Derby, said, “No, I know INCOME TAX FOR GEORGIA < Americus, Ga.—Speaking before the Rotary club of Americus, Ste phen Pace, senator from this, the thirteenth district, declared he fa vored an income tax as the way out of Georgia’s present tax problem, but that he is keeping his mind ‘wide open” in order that the report of Governor aifcer’s special tax com mision may be heard with fairness to its members and that due weight may be given to its findings. Senator Pace in his talk predicted that the general assembly at its com ing special session will submit to the people a constitutional amedment, authorizing imposition of an income tax, and expressde the opinion that if this is adopted exemptions similar to those contained in the federal in come tax statutes will be enacted by the legislature. In giving his views, he asserted that there are now in eGorgia thou sands who enjoy the full protection of the state laws without paying one penny taxes, and those holding mort gages, which now largely escape taxation, are among the first to seek aid at the courthouse tn enforce payment when the farmer has a “bad year” with corresponding loss of profit. It would be useless and foolish, he said, to impose an income tax if it be necessary to expend any larger portion of the revenue derived from that source in collecting the tax, and suggested that the federal govern ment might permit the state to au dit reports filed by Georgians so that the state income tax might be the more easily collected. Ad valorem taxes paid the state, he said, proper ly should be deducted from the amount of income tax due under the proposed amendment to the consti tution which he believes the genera) assembly will submit to the voters for ratification. HOME OF STEWART S. BRAND BURNS DOWN Th« home of Stewart S. Brand, a 7-room hobse on the’ Loganville road twb miles below Grayson, burned to the ground on Tuesday evening, about 9:30 o’clock.
