New Kite Balloon.
A military kite balloon, observed by
thousands of persons, landed near
Washington Court House, O., after a
trip from Akron, O., a distance of
about 120 miles. The balloon was
piloted by C. H. Both and C. A. Wollen
of Akron, and made the trip In three
hours and 45 minutes.
The bulloon was shaped like u large
cigar, but carried no motive power.
It was guided by means of planes, and
the trip was made for the purpose of
testing the steering, elevation and low¬
ering apparatus.
The pilots said that It was the first
time that such a trip In a balloon so
equipped had been attempted In this
country, and that the Idea Is a new and
undeveloped one in Europe. They said
that the fast time and perfect control
proved the value of the craft.
The balloon was shot at over a farm
In Green county, but ballast was
thrown overboard, and the machine
rose out of range.

HOOPS PREPARE
FOR LONG STAY
Men Are New in Permanent Camp At Fort
Bliss, Within Six Miles Of
El Paso, Texas
MORE SOLDIERSFORBORDER
Railroads Notified To Have Trains
Prepared To Move All Troops To
Their Destination
Atlanta—
As soon as the railroads can get
tourist cars to Macon in sufficient
numbers fo handle the troops the
Georgia soldier boys left In camp
there will start for the Mexican bor¬
der.
This is the news contained In a tel¬
egram from the headquarters of the
department of the east at Governor’s
Island.
A dispatch from El Faso, Texas,
With the Georgia battery of artillery
establishment in a permanent camp
were far better quarters and more
conveniences are furnished them than
they had at Camp Harris, and with
work in progress in many parts of
Fort Bliss turning camps into winter
quarters, indicating that a large part
of the national guard is going to be
held here during the entire winter, the
Georgia boys have settled down in
their new 1 camp for a long stay and
bade farewell to any hope of an early
return to their homes.
Winter quarters are being prepared
for thousands of men here by the
flooring and boarding up of tents and
installing of stoves.
The change from the temporary
in the cactus field to the perma¬
camp evacuated by the home¬
bound Massachusetts artillery
effected by the Georgia battalion
the rocord time of two hours. The
were folded, equipment packed
loaded on motor trucks and every¬
pertaining to the artillery camp
to the new site, a half mile
to Fort Bliss headquarters, and
tents repitehed and the new camp
in the two hours. The
D. C., and Connecticut
will move in next week when
provisional artillery regiment will
formed.
40,000 Auto Tags Sold
Atlanta—
Automobile tag sates have turned
45,000 mark and in Secretary
office it is said that this year
run up to or over fifty thou¬
Last year the total number of tags
was, in round numbers, 25,000,
an evidence this year, under the
law provided for a graduated li¬
charge instead of the flat charge
$5 per car, of double the returns to
state. Back, of this are two con¬
which have both gone a long
toward making the present suc¬
of the tag license law. Under
1916 law the sheriff of each county
allowed the same fee for making
violations as in other court cases;
olher is the graduated scale.
Extension Work At State Farm
Atlanta—
Commissioners Davison and Rainey
from an inspection trip to
state farm, when close examina¬
was made of the extension work
done there. The new' two-story
building has been completed,
wing having a capacity for 850
the whites on one side and
negroes on the other. Work has
nearly completed on the boys’
four miles of sewerage
been put in, and the new water
is now under way. The pris¬
now has ample provision for car¬
for a total of 800 convicts.
Highway Commission Meets
Atlanta—
The recently created state highway
held a meeting here. In
to disposing of routine busi¬
it is held that a number of pro¬
highway improvements in the
were taken under consideration.
means that the highway commis¬
is now gelting down to the real
for which it was created. It
stated that already there are
propositions before the com¬
to use up the federal appropri¬

ing Rotne have been secured, and
men, accompanied by land own¬
and business men, will hold pub¬
lic meetings in the district for the
of such topics as the boll
and diversified crops.
Potash May Be Made Of Feldspar
Atlanta—
Long experimentation with Georgia
has at last resulted in the
of a process whereby the
contained therein can he made
for use in fertilizer, accord¬
to the statement of a special wit¬
who testified before the state
commission in the freight rate
hearing. This means that,
a measure at least, the potash prob¬
which the United States has faced
the outbreak of the European
cut oft the supply is solved.
THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND. GEORGIA
COMMODITY RATES
TO BE PRESENTED
Railroads Will Probably Complete
Their Statement by Middle
Of November
Atlanta—
The railroads of Georgia which are
now petitioning the state railroad
commission for a general revision of
intrastate rates in Georgia will con¬
tinue the presentation of their pro¬
posed commodity rates. It will like¬
ly take the carriers the rest of the
month to complete this subject. Ttye
commission intends to sit in Savan¬
nah for several days, beginning Octo¬
ber 31, for the electric light rate
hearing there, after which the carriers
will make a fiscal statement to the
commission. It will, therefore, like¬
ly be the middle of November before
the carriers complete the presenta¬
tion erf their case. A recess will then
be taken until the opposition to the
proposed rat«s have prepared their
answer.
More interest was displayed by the
shipping public in the fertilizer rates,
which were presented at the last
meeting, than in any rates which have
been discussed before the commission
in some time. Representatives of a
large number of fertilizer concerns
were present and subjected the wit¬
nesses of the carriers to cross-exami¬
nation.
Incidentally, the prestige of the
Georgia commission among the South¬
ern states has been rather graphical¬
ly shown by the testimony of the wit¬
nesses during the rate hearing. Al¬
most constant .reference is made to
the rates in other states being reduced
by reason of the fact that the Geor¬
gia commission has seen fit to reduce
similar rates. In the case of Alabama,
110 commodity rates in effect in Geor¬
gia were adopted practically bodily
by the general assembly. In North
and South Carolina and in Alabama
rates on fertilizer have been very ma¬
terially affected by the Georgia com¬
mission rulings.
Pickett In Governor’s Race
Atlanta—
Admitting at the outset that he
makes his announcement in the face
of certain defeat, but feeling that his
efforts will be appreciated by many
voters who believe that an aggres¬
sive opposition party is needed in
Georgia, Roscoe Pickett, of Jasper,
Ga., has formally announced himself
Republican candidate for governor,
nominated without opposition, and has
issued a signed statement “to the vot¬
er^ of Georgia,” in which he tells
why he is running.
"We admit our weakness in the be¬
ginning," ho says in this statement,
“but hope for the better in the end.”
Democrats, Republicans, Progra*
sives and Socialists will participate
in the general election next month for
state offices, having completed and
announced their tickets. Alt of the
important offices wilt be contested.
Judson Hand Dead
Atlanta—
Judson L. Hand of Pelham, promi¬
nent in the business world, a leader
in Georgia’s political affairs and a
member of the recently organized
Western and Atlantic commission,
died here at a sanitarium.
He served ten years in the house
and senate bf the Georgia legislature,
first going to the senate for two years,
then to the house for two years, and
hack to the senate for six years, hav¬
ing closed his legislative career about
eleven years ago.
Mr. Hand had been mayor and mem¬
ber of the council of the city of Pel¬
ham a number of times, and for many
years was intimately identified with
the public life of both his town and
county.
Reserve Bank Buys Church
Atlanta—
One of Atlanta’s oldest landmarks,
the First Presbyterian church build¬
ing, at No. 104 Marietta street, will
soon pass Into history, as this prop¬
erty has been sold to the Atlanta Re¬
serve bank for $102,500.
The sale was announced by Dr. J.
S. Lyons, pastor, in his sermon at
the new church plant on Peachtree
road and Sixteenth street.
Officials of the reserve bank stated
that their plan is to build a massive
one-story bank building, costing ap¬
proximately 8150,000, No plans have
been drawn or approved yet.
Negroes Leave Southern Farms
Atlanta—
Despite the disappointment many
of their race have experienced in go¬
ing north in search of work, many
negroes from Decatur and other south
Georgia counties are stilt being re¬
cruited by agents whose identity is
carefully concealed.
Officers are now vigorously on the
alert for the colonization agents, and
propose to break up recruiting activi¬
ties. The agents seem to be adepts at
the art of keeping their identity con¬
cealed, working through negroes, who,
it is believed, are paid so much per
head for every laborer secured.
Georgia Raised Bears On Exhibit
Atlanta—
Among the exhibits which attracted
particular attention at the Wayeross
fair was that * of two Georgia-raised
bears, taken there by J. C. LeRoy.
The bears we* caught when only a
few weeks old and were brought up
as great pets.
The bears came from the Okefeno
kee swamp, which is noted for its
big game. Mr. LeRoy has received
some very attractive offers for the
pets, but he has grown attached to
them, and has refused alt offers
STATE ITEMS

railway train at Henderson’s crossing,
Capital and Ridge avenues.
Valdosta.—The live stock show at

of the Georgia house of representa¬
tives, who was convicted of stabbing
Thomas B. Felder, an Atlanta lawyer,

on the chaingang, six months in jail
and fined $ 1 , 000 .
Milledgeville.—The report of the
cotton enumerator for Baldwin coun¬
ty shows that from the crop of 1916
up to September 25, 3,924 bales of
cotton have been ginned. Up to the
same time last year 4,067 bales had
been, ginned, therefore the crop this
year is 133 bales behind the crop of
last year so far.
Macon.—Maj. Isaac T. Catron of the
First battalion of the Fifth regiment,
has been ordered confined to quarters |
at Camp Harris, pending a courtmar- I
tial for criticising his superior offi¬ I
cer, Col. Orville Hail, regimental com¬
mander, in conenction with the re¬
cent election of Capt. R. M. Beck to
the lieutenant colonelcy of the regi¬
ment.
Macon.—Macon Is becoming famous
for her concrete paved streets, and in
order that visitors to the state fair
this year may see how this paving is
laid, Chairman Brunner of the street
committee of council, has a^Tgnged
to have Walnut street paved while the
fair is in progress. A section of the
paving will be laid each day during

C. The their ,
men were on way to a

leaves a wife and seven children. j j
Tifton.—A meat-packing plant at I
Tifton was assured when, at a meet, I
ing of the business men, $ 100,000 was :
pledged for the capital stock, provid j
ed the farmers in tributary territory i
will raise $50,000. The farmers are
allowed to pay for their stock in hogs 1
one year from date. The plant is to
cost about $ 100,000 and will have a
daily capacity of about three hum
dred hogs, but is built so that this j
capacity can easily be increased at a
slight outlay to 800 dogs a day.
Atlanta.—The subject of better
markets for diversified crops will be
the theme for discussion at all Geor¬
gia Products Day celebrations on No¬
vember 18 throughout the state this
year. This has been decided upon by
the officials of the Georgia chamber
of commerce and notices to this ef¬
fect have been sent out through the
state. It is expected that the cele¬
bration of the day this year, both in
number and size, will eclipse any of
the past..
Balnbridge.—A cotton oil company
of this city has decided to add pea¬
nut crushing to its line, and has an¬
nounced that it is in the market for
ten thousand tons of peanuts. The
manager is doing all in his power to
encourage Decatur county farmers to
grow peanuts another year, assuring
them of a ready cash market at ait
times for their products. The first
crushing .made was from peanuts ship¬
ped in from Alabama It was claim¬
ed that the mills here and at Blake¬
ly will take care of more people than
this section can possibly grow, and
there is no danger of an overproduc¬
tion. Prices paid were around ninety
cents per bushel, and, with lands here
capable of producing from 50 to 80
bushels to the acre, there is no rea¬
son why peanuts should not be a very
profitable crop.
Greensboro.—The Green county fair
was held here and the exhibits con¬

Don’t Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’s Prescrip¬
tion, Overcomes Kidney Trouble
It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as markable they control the other organs to a re¬
degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as¬
sistance when needed. We take less ex¬
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid¬
neys require help immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is Dr. Kilmer’s prescription used in pri
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
