BIG PROSPERITY ERA IS SEEN FOR SOUTHEAST FAIRFAX HARRISON. Cornell University Scientists Will Study Winter Habits of Bugs in Great Swamp, The entomological mysteries of the Great Okefenokee Swamp are to be explored again and possibly revealed within the next three weeks, unless an expedition setting out from Cor nell University, and aided by F. L. Worsham, 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. J. G. Needham, of the Cornell facul ty, will head the expedition, and there will be a number of students along," Dr. Bradlev 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 America. And here's another and very spe clal feature of tho 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 bugglsh 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 (he fever mark. “We will join the expedition on Thursday morning at Fargo, Ga.," said Mr. Worsham. "And the excur sion will start at onre from that point, which is right on the edge of the big swamp. We will have to walk and wado about twenty miles, to be gin with, and that is no work for mollycoddles, I can tell you. Last time I was in the great realm of the 'Trembling Earth*—that’s what 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. Emory Chi Phis Lease Bishop HaygoodHome OXFORD, Dec. 15.—Gamma Chap ter of the Chi Phi fraternity at Em ory College has leased the old Hay- good home and moved into it.

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. Consumption 350 Poop' Takes e Daiy In the United States and the deadly germs claim more victims in cities tnan in rural districts, due no doubt to the increased number of mdooi workers in confining quarters and their lack of sunshine Tubercular germs always attack when the svttem is weakened from colds or sickness, overwork, overstrain, confining duties or any drain which has reduced the resistive forces of the body But nature always provides a corrector and the best physicians emphasise that during chang ing climate tvur blood should be keot neb and pure apd active by taking Scott's Emulsion qjter meals the cod liver oil it) Scott's Emulsion warms the bodv bv en riching the blood—it peculiarly strength' tcs the lungs and npouilds the resistive forcea of the body to avoid colds and prevent cotieumotion If you work indoors, tire easily feel languid or nervous. 8cott s Emulsion it the most strengthening food-medicine known, it builds energy and strength and is totally free from alcohol or any stupefying drug—everv druggist has it 15»106 Scott a Bo woe Bloomfield N 1 Railroad officials in Atlanta said Monday that the Christmas traffic has borne out the statement of Fairfax Harrison, new president of the Southern, that the Southeast is ex periencing the greatest prosperity era in 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 tucky 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 wheth er 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 ia a slight slackening In their line on account of the Christmas holL days, but this is a natural condition, and In a short while everything will be in good shape again.

CommerceCommission Delays De cision on Change of Rates Vital to Business. By B. C. FORBES. Will President Wilson please ask the Interstate Commerce Commis sion to expedite its decision on rail road rates? \ 0 * * Uncertainty kills. * * * I hear that a tremendously oner ous demand for an entirely new mass—mountain—of statistics has been made at the suggestion of Mr. Brandeis, whose attitude toward the railroads is well known. * * * Here are the facts as I understand them: At a cost of more than a million dollars the railroads have prepared statistics of every conceivable kind covering the last ten years. This was thought sufficient in all conscience. Then the commission engaged Mr Brandeis Not content with full records ex tending back a whole decade, MR. BRANDEIS. I AM TOLD. INDUCED THE COMMISSION TO ORDER THE RAILROADS TO COMPILE SIMILARLY EXHAUSTIVE DATA FOR FIVE YEARS FARTHER BACK BACK FIFTEEN YEARS ALTOGETHER. • * * Now. railway accounts were not always kept fifteen years ago as they are prepared now, end in order to have proper comparisons an appalling amount of expert labor will have to be spent—and paid for. * * * YOU must pay for nil these fifteen- year-old statistics. Do YOU think they are absolutely necessary? Have YOU no objection to the whole ques tion being held up indefinitely and ar enrr^- > s additional expense in volved? • * * To those of us who are neither law yers nor experts records covering a full decade would seem to be suffi cient on which to base an intelligent j decision. Why pile on the agony' Why entail inordinate work and ex pense. for which every one of us must pay, simply ber-ause the commission has it in its power to put the rail roads through any paces if «?ees fit? * ’ * * The delay Involved is even more serious than the expense^— much more serious. Mr. Brandeis, I understand, was not prepared to go on with his case. As his engagement was appar ently an afterthought, this Is not as tonishing. Presumably, the commis- j sion reckoned that the shippers 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. * • • T*ast 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 to realize that dawdling is dangerous? Are you aware of the urgency for promnt 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 sr 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 they 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 idea of where they are to stand. * * * Everybody just now is in the dark. Everybody is guessing—and fretting. ,* * * My belief—very strongly held—>s that the whole course of industry and prosperity in the United States wifi be vitally affected by the Interstate Commerce Commission’s verdict. I believe that a decision favorable Two Rearrested on Leaving U.S. Prison After serving nineteen months for blowing a safe in a Kentucky post- office and getting only sufficient money to settle their two weeks’ board bill.
