INSECT EXPERTS TO DELVE INTO ;ee Cornell University Scientists Wi Study Winter Habits of Bugs in Great Swamp, The entomological mysteries of the (Vrea.t Okefenokee Swamp are to explored again and possibly revealed within the next three weeks, unless an expedition setting out from Cor nell University, and aided by P. I„ W orsham. State Entomologist, shall go astray. “The expedition is going after in- sects; mainly water insects not avail able in summer," Mr. Worsham said Monday. "Dr. J. C. Bradley' and Dr. .1. G. Needham, of the Cornell facul ty. will head the expedition, and there will be a number of students along. Dr. Bradley- in the summer months Is a most valued assistant of Mr. Worsham’s, and his chief gives him credit for supplying Georgia with one of the finest State collections in A m erica. And here's another and very spe cial feature of the expedition: Hardy- Ulm, executive secretary to the Governor and known in his news paper days as "Slippery Ulm," is go ing to delve into the buggish mys teries of the big swamp to the extent of three days, anyway. Mr. Ulm Is not exactly "strong” on the bugs, but he is keen on adven ture, and the reverberant echoes of a large bear, slain by Mr. Worsham on a former excursion, have raised Mr. Ulm’s sporting blood to several de grees above the fever mark. "We will join the expedition on Thursday morning at Fargo. Ga.. said Mr. Worsham. "And the excur sion will start at once from that point, which is right on the edge of tiie big swamp. We will have to walk and w-ade about tyy-enty miles, to be gin with, and that is no yvork for mollycoddles. I can tell you. East time I was in the great realm of Ihe 'Trembling Earth’—that’s yvhat the Indian name means—It took us two hours to struggle along three-quar ters of one mile." Mr. Worsham added that the expe dition was one of the preliminary re searches in advance of the big meet ing in Atlanta December 29 to .Janu ary 3, when delegates to the conven tion of the American Association for the Advancement of Science will gather here. The association has a membership of nearly 10,000, and there is sure to be a large attendance at the meeting here.

Suffragist of Far West Visits Dalton DALTON, Dec. 15. Mrs. Anna Mc- Crosky, not only a suffragette, but one of the voting kind, is here on a visit to relatives, her home being in Colfax, Wash. Although believing firmly in woman’s right to vote, Mrs. McCrosky is far from being a militant suffragette, be lieving the strenuous tactics wrong.

Heavy Christmas Traffic Bears Out Assertion of Fairfax Harrison That Section Thrives. Railroad officials in Atlanta .said .Monday that the Christmas traffic lias borne out the statement of Fairfax Harrison, new president of the Southern, that the Southeast is ex periencing the greatest prosperity era n its history and that the outlook is unusually good. While other sections of the coun try suffered from a long drouth this year, which cut the total corn yield down 661,000,000 bushels,” said Mr. Harrison, ‘‘the South was but 21,000,- 000 bushels short, and most of this shortage was experienced in Ken- ucky and Tennessee. In the other Southeastern States the production has been nearly normal. ‘In addition to this, the great cot ton crop, which has moved fast and brought a good figure, has served to make it’ a wonderful year for the Southern farmer. The territory trav ersed by the Souhtern Railway has been wonderfully prosperous and the retail and wholesale trade in it has been healthy. ‘‘Other crops, including forage, have turned out splendidly and, taking the territory on the whole, I doubt wlieth- r the farmers of the Southeast have ever had a more favorable year. The reports of cotton mill and knitting mill development are particularly noteworthy, while manufacturers in most lines are finding their product in great demand. Just at this time there is a slight slackening in tneir line on account of the Christmas holi days. but this is a natural condition, and in a short while everything wi il be in good shape again. Undoubt edly the South is facing its greatest business outlook.” School Parties Are Given Special Rate For Keller Lecture Keely Company Hosiery Umbrellas Handkerchiefs fveeiy Company With tickets for the entertainment by Miss Helen Keller at the Auditorium- Armory.

Do YOU think they are absolutely necessary? Have YOU no objection lo the whole ques tion being held up indefinitely and ar additional expense in volved ? • • • To those of us who ate neither law yers nor experts records covering a full decade would seem to be suffi cient on which to base an intelligent decision. Why pile on the agony? Why entail inordinate work and ex pense. for which every one of us must pay, simply because the commission has it in its power to put the rail roads through any paces it sees fit? • ‘ * * The delay involved is even more serious than the exnense—much more serious. Mr. Rrandeis. I understand was not prepared to go on with his case. As bis engagement was appar entlv an afterthought, this is not as tonishing. Presumably, the commis sion reckoned that the shipper: would, if they had objections, hire counsel to present these objections, as was done last time and as every body believed would be the natural thing to do again. • • * Last week the hearing was ad journed “until some time after the holidays.” Gentlemen of the Interstate Com merce Commission, are you close enough to the affairs of the country lo realize that dawdling is dangerous? Are you aware of the urgency for prompt action? Can you not forego a little holidaying at such a time as this. and. if necessary, put in a few- extra hours to expedite a matter so important? Even the United States Congress does not shut its eyes to such considerations. Why not brush utterly inconse quential cases to one side, buckle down to a spell of hard work, and re lieve the tension without one hour’s unnecessary delay? * • * Let the business world know' where it is at. Let the railroads know whether thev may resume placing orders, and thus stem the rising tide of unemployment, or whether they must adjust themselves to conditions they complain have become well nigh intolerable. Let investors have an I idea of where they are to stand. * • * Everybody just now is in the dark. Everybody is guessing—and fretting. • * * My belief— very strongly held— that the whole coarse of industry and prosperity in the United States will be vitally affected by the Interstate Commerce Commission’s verdict. t believe that a decision favorable tt» DALTON, Dec. 15 Although the dale for the special election to name a suc cessor to the late Representative S.
