MACON FARM V ALUES
SHOW GREAT INCREASE
An increase of $6,507,835 or 220
per cent is shown in the value of
farm lands and buildings of Macoii
county for the past ten year period,
according to statistics just made
public by the census bureau. The
figures are based On the information
obtained during the recent census.
The present valuation is $9,464,635.
The number of farms in Macon
county in 1920 is 1,912 as against
1,764 in 1910, while the total farm
acreage is now 216,784 as against
-198,655 in 1910. The number of
■horses and mules this year is placed
at 3,914, while in 1910 the number
Twos 2,983. Cattle, sheep and hogs in
35)20 totalled 21.012 as compared
-with 14,675 in 1910.
Increased production of corn, drj’
peas and hay is shown by the sta
tistical table. The 1919 corn crop

els and in 1909 338,591 bushels:
dry peas in 1919 were 22,007 bushels

the cotton acreage was reduced very
little in the ten-year period. In 1909
Macon county produced 18,907 bales
of cotton on 45,755 acres, while in
1919, on 42.298 acres, only 8,565

£4B PER CENT INCREASE
FOR COLQUITT COUNTY
MOULTRIE, Ga., July 17.—Census
» figures issued this week, which give
Colquitt county a population of 29,-
332, or an increase of 48 per cent,
have served to call attention to the
, remarkable growth of the county
since 1880, as far back as informa
tion along this line can be obtained.
The census count that year showed
that there were but 2,527 people in
the county. During the decade which
followed the gain in population was
just a little over 2,000, the figures
-for 1890 being 4,794. From 1890 to
1900, the increase in population was
184 per cent, the count jumping from
4,794 to 13,636. The next ten-year
period showed a gain of 45 per cent,
putting the total population of the
county to 19,789. The figures for
1920 were given in the opening sen
tence.
That Colquitt is not suffering from
what many have called the great na
tional disease, “cityitis.” is shown by
the census figures for this year, more
than two-thirds of its nearly 30.000
people living in the country. While
the growth of Moultrie was re
markable, being over 100 per cent, the
city did not increase in size at the
expense of the rural sections in its
» territory. Another interesting 1 fact
in connection with the county's
population is the ratio of white and
colorel people, the former compris
’ ing, according to estimates made
1 from the best available figures, fully
i 80 per cent of the total population.
’ - The period of 1890 to 1900 marked
’ Eire 1 advent of the first railroad, the
Georgia Northern, into Moultrie, con
necting this section'up with the out
side world at what was then Pidcock,
on the Atlantic Coast Line. This
event was the main impetus for the
remarkable growth of 184 per cent.
The fact that the county exceeded in
the 1910 to 1920 period its previous
growth of 45 per cent from 1900 to
' 1920 by only 3 per cent would be
relatively unimportant were it not for
the fact" that this shows how steady
and consistent has been the spirit
of progress, despite the fact that the
t large total population made it more
difficult to measure up to the stand
ard previously set. This achievement,
according to those who study local
w conditions, was made possible largely
tby the fact that the farmers and
“business of the county united in
the first great independent
♦.meat packing plant ever put in ser
vice in the southeast, which was sub
jjsequently bought by Swift & Com-
Xpany, one of the big five, on which

1 Doughboys’ Hearts
2 With Their Eyes
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July I?-
"The light that lies in woman’s eyes
was the medium used by Dan Cupid
to lure many a doughboy with the
American expeditionary forces to the
altar. This is revealed by Miss Kath
erine Carson, of Knoxville, who, with
her sister, has just returned home
after being stationed at a bureau of
the Y. W. C. A., established to help
war brides.
Miss Carson said that she asked
one girl how she and her husband

' the language used by the other.
“Oh, we just used our eyes, was
, the naive reply.
Miss Carson explained that the
young women who came under her
care wqre, for the most part, mem
bers of the peasant’class, and very
ignorant. They were the brides for
whom American soldiers had asked
transportation of the government, as
they .were unable to pay for their

LINCOLN, Neb.. July 17.—Plans
for the National Prohibition conven
tion which meets here Wednesday to
nominate candidates for president and
vice president, were going forward
today.
W. G. Calderwood, of Minneapolis,
vice chairman of the national com
mittee, was on the scene to assist in
perfecting local arrangements.
“This will be the greatest campaign
in the history of the party,” declared
Mr. Calderwood, “for three very ap
parent reasons,
“First, both old parties were so
afraid of losing a vote that neither
dared to declare for any political
principles. They have used a mass of
vague, ambiguous words with which
to studiously-say nothing.
“Second, prohibition, which has yet
bad no adequate chance to demon
strate its benefits, has the newness
of the enforcement machinery and
the organized effort to discredit the
law.
“Finally, prohibition is the only
really live issue.”
When asked about the ticket. Mr.
Calderwood said that while many
nominees were being talked of, he
would be satisfied only with William
Jennings Bryan or Billy Sunday.

Ginning and Bagging
At a meeting of the Georgia Gin
ners’ association of the Fifth con
gressional district, Saturday morn

Camera Man to Fly to Falls
Looked Upon by Only Five Men
LONDON, Ont., Canada.—To make
moving pictures for the first time
of the McLean falls, in the heart ot
the Ungava country, the world’s
greatest waterfall, which only five
white men ever have looked upon, a
camera man will fly from Seven
Isles, Quebec, in a machine piloted
by Capt. E. L. Janney, formerly ot
the Canadian aviation corps in
France.
The great falls are only 350 miles
from the north shore of the St. Law
rence river, but are hidden in an un
explored wilderness broken only by
small lakes, and traversed only by
rivers abounding in treacherous rap
ids. By canoe and portage in the
summer months, or dogsled in the
winter, it is a four months’ joourney.
The flight, if successful, will occupy
two trips of a few hours in all, the
first objective being a trading sta

little hamlet of Seven Isles. Trap

graceful, well-rounded figure was
displayed to its full advantage in
her exquisite Parisian wedding dress.
Its soft, ivory-color made a gentle
contrast with the fresh, soft pink of
her cheeks. Her brown hair, curled
loosely upon her gracefully polished
head, showed gleams of reddish
light through the soft tulle veil
which fell in a trailing mist over her
dress. Her blue eyes sparkled with
excitement. She walked well, with
a graceful, easy bearing.”
The striking brunette beauty of
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has become
familiar to American women during
the past few years. She has crisp
black hair, which waves just a
trifle, a remarkably clear olive skin,
a face charmingly rounded, a de

white and even teeth. Perhaps her
most admired feature is her eyes,
which are alrge, dark hazel in color

FOREIGN COMMANDERS
PLAN AN INVESTIGATION
TIENTSIN, China, July 16.—(8y
the Associated Press.) —The foreign
military commanders here arranged
today to dispatch a train during the
afternoon to Yangtsun, on the rail

tween the Anfu and Chihli parties.
The Japanese, it is stated, are anx
ious to occupy the railway and pre
vent the transport of Chinese troops.
The effect of such a move, it is point
ed out, would be to save the Anfu
troops from attacks by the Chihli and
Manchurian armies, and the other
foreign military heads have failed to
agree with the Japanese in the desire
to interfere.
The Peking-Tientsin railway line is
blocked by troop trains ’ between

RESOLUTE LEADING
WHEN SECOND HOT
RACE ISCALLED OFF
ABOARD U. S. DESTROYER
GOLDSBOROUGH, July 17—The
jinx of the sea still clung to Reso
lute, defender of America’s Yacht
ing cup today iri the second day of
racing with Sir Thomas Lipton’s
challenger Shamrock IV.
After fighting it out for six hours,
with the honors all on the side of
the American sloop and Captain.
Adams crew, the Second race was
still to be sailed tonight. The score
in the series of races -still stood 1.
to 0 in favor of the challenger, on
the race she won Thursday when the
Resolute’s throat halyards parted.
The two yachts, w.lth the cup de
fender holding a commanding lead
of two miles, were caught in a dead
calm halfway between the first and
second mark of the triangular course
of thirty miles. The Resolute
caught the wind first, and rounded the
second mark with only forty-five min
utes to make the last leg of tert
miles. She tried gamely, with all
sails set, but it was an impossibility,
The Resolute was a mile past the
second mark flag signal ”J”
was run up on T*e- committee boat;
announcing the contest was off.
The Shamrock just rounded the
mark.
When the race was called off, the
Resolute was thirty-four minutes
thirteen second ahead of the chal
lenger, without the time allowance, in
twenty miles.
Neither Shamrock nor Resolute
had completed the course before the
expiration of the time limit of six
hours prescribed by the rules.
It was a long, weary day of nau
tical vicissitudes.
Throughout the day the wind puff
ed and dropped and in the late aft
ernoon it ceased to be and the con
tenders sat idly on the water. The
Resolute’s only real sprint was when,
rounding the first mark,, she picked
up a breeze and sped off towards the
second mark. - .. . . ..
Catches Wind on Tarn
One mile before the defender turn
ed, the Shamrock was 100 yards un
der her lee. The Resolute caught
the wind on the turn, rounded the
mark and was off. The Shamrock
was caught in a calm and tacked and
tcakled and tackled for forty min
utes before she rounded the buoy.
Five miles from the second mark,
alter a swift reach the Resolute
ran into a calm- Thq Shamrock,
with a wisp of breeze, cut down the
lead to two miles when then her
sails went dead. From that time on
it was merely a question of watch
ful waiting for the signal ”J.”
At 1:46:28 the Resolute crossed the
line, less than a minute and a half
after the starting signal went up.
Nine seconds after her the green
challenger cleared the line.
The Resolute had used to good
purpose the seconds allotted her in
maneuvering. Captain Burton had
tried several times to blanket the
defender, but Captain Adams always
escaped by bearing away. Clever
work at the helm put her to the
windward of the challenger and she
footed forward with the advantage.
The moment Shamrock felt the
breeze, however, she got into a strike
which soon put her ahead of the
Resolute but so far to the leeward on
a starboard tack that the challenger
still held the advantage.
However, it was as the yachts ap
proached the first mark that the
American crew displayed the clever
est seamanship. Both yachts went
about on a port tack and then split
tacks twice in search of a breath of
wind. The Resolute caught the
breeze, rounded the mark and saun
tered away, leaving hor rival behind.
The yachts will meet again Tues
day for another triangular course
race.,
Farmers Should Plan
Now to Avert Food
Shortage in Winter
Reports reaching the Georgia de
partment of agriculture. , ffom .- all
parts of the country, strongly indi
cate a considerable food shortage the
coming winter and spring, unless
measures are taken now to avert it.
“There is every apparent reason
why the farmers of Georgia should
profit by this condition,” states Com
missioner J. J. Brown. “They can
put in fall crops of the hardier vege
tables like Irish potatoes, turnips
and others, with the prospect of a
fine demand at good prices.
“Georgia farmers should also be
making their plans now to put in the
best wheat crop the state ever had.
It will be a good thing for them to
devote their very best acres to this
crop, preparing them as soon as pos
sible, and planting just as early as
the danger of damage by the Hessian
fly has passed.
“These suggestions are made, by
the department, both in the inter
est of the farmer and the consumer;
for It looks now as if the consum
ers will need more food than is go
ing to be made, and the demand
promises to hold up well during the
next twelve months or more.”
Name Restored by
Court Order After
Death of Father
CHICAGO, July 17.—When an aunt
objected to his using the family
name, “Robert Edwards” agreed and
for years has been known as such.
But when his father, Edward
Ridgely, son of Charles Ridgely,
Springfield, 111., millionaire, died he
resented the aunt’s objection to his
presence at the funeral and applied
for a legal order restoring his proper
name. Today “Edwards” bears his
own name as a result of the granting
of the order yesterday.
“Edwards’ ” father incurred the

SPA CONFERENCE
AT END; ALLIES
GAIN DEMANDS
SfA, July 17.—Departure of allied
and,German delegates from this litle
Belgian watering place today marked .
termination of the 'most momentous
■conference since signing of the Ver
sailles peace treaty. Signing of the
allied ultimatum calling for delivery
of 2,000,000 tons of coal monthly
occurred at the Villa Fraineuse last
night.
The German delegation pressed
their plea for modification of coal de
mands up to tfie moment of signing,
and Herr Simons, the German foreign
minister, insisted that the threat of
occupation of the Ruhr district was
not in accordance with the terms of
the peace treaty. Premier Millerand
replied that this'matter was entirely
in the hands of the allies, and Lloyd
Geofge expressed-..similar belief.
: After signing: ffße coal pact, botn
sides shook hands cordially and M.
De La Croix announced that the spe
cial reparations 1 committee would
hold a meeting' at Geneva in two
weeks. ...
As the delegates left today It was
pointed out'tjjaf : every agreement
made by Germany at the conference
here had jbrieif’ conditional. The Ger'-
. man delegation agreed to furnish the
required 2;0&0,000 tons of coal month
ly provided“ German miners were fed
by the allies. They promised to dis
arm provided the German people were
willing. They agreed to prosecute
war ciimirials provided the allies fur
nished sufficient evidence.
It was e'Spedfed ;thjSt members
of the German delegation wduld be
table to retain their ■government posts
after return to Berlin as a result of
their action here. Although Hugo
Stinnes and Dr. Walther Rathenau,
German industrial leaders, . exerted
considerable . influence at Spa, they
will not have to answer to the Ger
man people, Herr Simons, Chancel
lor Fehrenbach and Minister of De
fense Gessler will have to bear the
brunt of the work of holding together
the tissue of government in Germany.
Allied governments will take ap
propriate-measures to assist Germany
in floating, loans intended to.meet her
internal requirements and to a'ssist
her in the prompt discharge of her
debt to the allies, according to the
agreement signed here today hy rep
resentatives of Great. Britain, France,
Italy, Japan. Belgium and Portugal,
settling problems relative to repara
tions. The distribution of indemni
ties received from Austria-Hungary
and Bulgaria also was provided for
in the agreement. ~ .. .
Belgium is given priority, in the
payment of 2.500,000,000 gold francs.
The allies also arranged for a meth
od ot valuing.the ships surrendered
by Germany as well as the allocation
of these vessels.
One of the articles of the agree
ment, fixing the cost of the occupa
tion armies on a uniform basis; was
not concluded, it being desired to
discuss this matter with the United
States before final adjustment of the
problem. '

arid ill lack iron in tlietr blood and that they
are ill for.no other reason than lack of iron.
Iron deficiency paralyzes healthy, forceful

nervous irritable disposition, fi. lack of
strength and endurance arid the inability to
Cope with thfe Strong vigorous folks in the
race of life—these are the sort of warning
signals that Nature gives When the blood is
getting thin, pale, watery and literally starv
ing for want of iron. If you are not sure of
your condition, go to your doctor and have
him take your blood count and see where
you stand or else inake the following test
yourself: See how long you can work or
how far you can walk without becoming
tired; next take two five-grain tablets of
Nuxated Iron three times per day after
ineals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you have
gained. By enriching the blood arid creating
new red blood cells Nuxated Iron strength
