ATLANTA MAYHAVE
AERIAL MAIL ROUTE
THREE SPEICAL AGENTS OF GOV¬
ERNMENT ARRIVE AFTER A
LONG FLIGHT
STATE NEWSJF INTEREST
Brief News Items Of Importance Gath¬
ered From All Parts
Of The State
Atlanta.—That Uncle Sam Is prepar¬
ing to utilize his monster army air
fleet in a commercial way, mainly per¬
haps in the transportation of mail,
and that Atlanta has splendid pros¬
pects of tiecoming a terminal for an
aerial mail route from Washington,
■were strongly indicated when three
lieutenants of aviation, special agents
of the government, arrived here and
began mapping out air routes. The
three lieutenants are H. Lesley, B.
R. Cloyd and A. H. Johnson of Payne
Field, Miss., who arrived here in three
big pilot machines from Birmingham,
Ala., where they were engaged in a
similar work, They left Birmingham
and, due to motor trouble, were forced
to stop overnight at Anniston, Ala.
Leaving Anniston they proceeded to
Atlanta, covering the approximate 110
miles between these two cities in ex¬
actly 50 minutes, “which is pretty fair
traveling, everything considered,” one
of them remarked.
Agreement Reached To End Litigation
Atlanta.—Notice of an agreement
between Georgia state officials and the
Tennessee Copper and the Ducktown
Sulphur, (topper and Iron companies
by which further prosecution of pro¬
ceedings brought by the state to reg¬
ulate the escape of sulphurous gases
from the companies’ plants would be
suspended at least three years unless
terminated before that time, was filed
in the Supreme court at Washington.
Under the agreement, a board of arbi¬
tration, the expenses of which would
be paid by the two companies and
the state, would fix the amount of
damages growing out of damage from
tile fumes. It also provides that the
fumes between April 10 and October
1 can be increased so as not to ex¬
ceed eighty-eight tons per day. The
Supreme court recently upon the con¬
tention of the state that the health of
its citizens was being injured, enjoin¬
ed the companies from permitting an
excessive amount of fumes to escape.
Later, upon the recommendation of
the war Industries board, ih order to
permit increased production of cop¬
per and sulphuric acid needed in con¬
nection with the rear, application was
made to have these injunctions modi¬
fied, but no action was ever taken
upon this motion.
Ninety-Gallon Still Destroyed
Jasper.—Deputy Collector Govankir
b.v of Jasper; J. R. Kincaid and Will
McKinney, two other deputy collec¬
tors, raided one of the largest block¬
ade distilleries ever captured in this
part of the state. The officers found
what they call a double-header. Two
large copper stills, the same furnish¬
ed one ninety-gallon capacity, the oth
other fifty gallons. The stills were in
operation. They destroyed — besides
the stills — three thousand gallons of
corn and rye beer, fifty gallons of corn
and rye liquor. The officers saw two
men going away from the distillery.
One of the men lost his shoes and
hat.
Large Pecan Yield
Aniericus.—A. C. Webb, of Ameri
cus, has Just gathered ninety pounds
of fine pecans from one tree in his
orchard, a few miles west of the city.
Tlie tree from which these nuts were
gathered was planted thirteen years
ago by Mr. Webb himself, and the
yield is regarded here as an excep¬
tionally good one. In the grove
where this tree is located, Mr. Webb
owns several hundred magnificent
trees, all of which have been bearing
during several years, and this year he
will harvest a crop worth approxi¬
mately twenty thousand dollars.
Farmers Urged To Hold Cotton
Macon. Speakers at the meeting of
the Georgia division of the Farmers’
Educational and Co-operative Union
of America, in session here, urged the
farmers of Georgia to hold their cot¬
ton for the higher prices which these
authorities believe are certain to come
when the peace terms have been fixed
and the world channels are once more
thrown open.
Georgia Hotel Men Meet
Aniericus.—Hotel men from ail parts
of Georgia will be here from Decem¬
ber 1 1 '. coming as guests of Charles
V. Rogers, manager of the Windsor
hotel for a stay of a day. The Geor¬
gia Hotel Men’s Association will con
vono in annual session in Colusibus
on December 11.
Large Peanut Crop In Sumter
Americus.—The peanut crop in Sum¬
ter county this fall was one of the
largest ever produced here, and indi¬
cations are this source of revenue
will add something like $”50,000 to
the income of farmers about Amer¬
icus. Leslie, which is situated in
the heart of the peanut growing dis¬
trict fifteen miles south of Americus,
has already shipped twelve cars of
peanuts, while Plains has also shipped
a large quantity of peanuts to oil mills
here and elsewhere.
THE CLEVELAND COURIER. CLEVELAND. GEORGIA
Boll Weevil Limits Defined
Atlanta.—State Entomologist A. C.
Lewis announces that the state board
of entomology, in co-operation with
the bureau of entomology. United
States department of agriculture, at
Washington, D. C., has just completed
its sunvey of the northern limits of
the boil weevil in Georgia for 1918.
The boll weevil line for 1918 will be
about the same as it was for last
year. For this reason there will be
no chang* made in the quarantine
regulations for the remainder of this
year. Next spring the regulations may
be changed. The weevil has been in
Georgia for five years. As the yield
of cotton has been so satisfactory this
year in many sections of Georgia, it is
feared that many of the planters will
wish to increase their cotton acreage
next year. The statw entomologist de¬
sires at this time to warn the farmers
of the loss that may result from this,
for, if the season should be rather
rainy in June, July and August, fa¬
voring the development of the boll
weevil, they might not make a profit¬
able cotton srop. He advises the plan¬
ters not to plant more than five to
ten acres of cotton to the plow, depend¬
ing upon labor conditions, so that they
can fight the boll weevil and cultivate
and fertilize the crop as it should be
under boll weevil conditions.
Sixth District Now Prosperous
Atlanta.—General prosperity and an
air of optimism prevail in the states
that compose the sixth district of the
federal reserve bank system, accord¬
ing to a report made by M. B. Well¬
born, chairman of the board of direc¬
tors and federal reserve agent of the
federal reserve bank of Atlanta, which
lias just been published. This condi¬
tion prevails in spite of the depressing
effect that the recent decline in the
price of cotton has had on all busi¬
ness. Mr. Wellborn states that it is
impossible to predict what the future
may bring during I he period of read¬
justment, but he expresses confidence
in the nation’s strength and ability to
recuperate, and expects business con¬
ditions to gradually revert to a pre¬
war basis with the gradual demobili¬
zation of the army.
Cane Grinding In South Georgia
Americus.—This is the sea^pn of
cane grindings in Sumter county, and
Aniericus people go every evening to
various parts of the county to enjoy
drinking the cane juice which is now
most plentiful. The cane crop this
year is both large and of excellent
flavor, and with more than a dozen
modern syrup-making plants installed
during the summer, the output of mo¬
lasses this fail will exceed that of last
year by probably 50 per cent. New
cane syrup is retailing in Americus
now at fl.10 a gallon with good de¬
mand, and farmers who have large
quantities ready for market will real¬
ize a handsome return upon tlietr in¬
vestment.
Doctor Chapman To Serve Sentence
Americus.—The final chapters in
the cases of Dr. Charles K. Chapman
and Warren Johnson, convicted of the
murder of Walter Wade, was written
here, when H. B. Allen, clerk of Sum¬
ter superior court, received the remit
tur of the supreme court affirming the
conviction of the two men. Clerk Al
len entered the decision of the su¬
preme court as the judgment of the su
perior court here, and advised that the
men are now at the disposal of that
body. It is understood here that both
Chapman and Johnson wil! be as¬
signed to the state farm at Milledge
ville.
Will Study City Ownership Of Plants
Atlanta.—Mayor-Elect James L. Key
and J. L. McCord, chairman of the
citizens’ committee appointed lo op¬
pose the rate increase asked for by
the Georgia Railway and Power com¬
pany, have gone to Washington, where
they will confer with Secretary of War
Newton D. Baker, and with the Na¬
tional Public Ownership League, in an
effort to gain information concerning
municipal ownership of public utility
plants. They will also visit Detroit,
Chicago, Cleveland and perhaps To
ronto, where they will make a study
of the question.
Aeroplane Drops ; Officers Escape
Atlanta.—An army airplane,
type, with two lieutenants from Taylor
Field, Ala., fell a distance of SO feet
here, while the pilot was trying to
make a landing. The pilot and his
passenger escaped without injury, and
the machine was only slightly dam
aged. It is said the engine went dead
at a height of several hundred feet,
When volplaning, in an attempt to
make the landing, the machine up
set when about sixty feet from the
ground. It righted itself, however.
Georgia To Help Aid War Victims
Atlanta.—Georgia has been called
upon to raise three hundred thousand
dollars for the relief of suffering hu
inanity in the war zone. The cam
paign which will begin on December
and continue three days, will be

Relief Fund organization, which is con
ducting a national campaign.

NEEDED BY ALLIES
SECRETARY McADOO ASKS CON
GRESS TO AUTHORIZE LOANS
AFTER PEACE COMES
SENDS LETTER TO CONGRESS
No Additional Appropriations For
Loans To The Allies Will Be
Required, It Is Said
Washington.—Congress was asked
by Secretary McAdoo in a letter made
public here to authorize the continu¬
ation of loans to the allies for one
year after the termination of the war
to finance the purchase of foodstuffs
and reconstruction material in this
country.
No additional appropriation for loans
to the allies was sought, but it was
suggested that the proposed peace-time
provisions apply to the $1,500,000,000
of the $10,000,000,000 appropriated for
allied loans, which Secretary McAdoo
estimated will remain unexpended
when peace is declared.
Under existing law the United States
may lend to the allies only for War
purposes and during the war.
In line with this policy, the secre¬
tary also sought to have new legisla¬
tion provide that credits extended af¬
ter December 15 be for "purposes
growing out of the war,” to make their
use more flexible.
The present law- requires that the
securities of foreign governments
which the secretary of the treasury is
to take in exchange for loans -must
be of the same maturity as that of
the proceeding Liberty Loan from
which the funds came. Mr. McAdoo
would change this to give the treasury
limited authority to determine the ma- 1
turities in view of the prospective is- *
suance of short-term bonds for the i
fifth loan.
AVIATORS CRASH TO EARTH
AT THE ATLANTA SPEEDWAY
Lieuts. Henry Watson And Lincoln
Weaver Badly Injured While
Attempting Tailspin
Atlanta, Ga.—Lieut. Henry Watson
of Douglasville, Ga., and Lieut. Lin¬
coln WeaVer of Wilkinsburg, Pa., both
flyers from Taylor Field, Montgomery,
Ala., are in the base hospital at Fort
McPherson in a serious condition as
the result of an attempted tailspin,
while the plane in which they were
flying was at a height of about three
hundred feet and moving at a rate, of
speed too low to maintain its balance
during the movement.
As a result of the attempted diffl
cult, air “stunt,” instead of righting
the plane after it had plunged down
ward for some distance, the two air¬
men lost control of the machine and
it crashed to earth on the old Atlanta
automobile race track about three aril
a half miles beyond Fort McPherson.
Atlantans in an automobile happen¬
ed to witness the accident and rushed
to the badly damaged plane and pull
ed the two lieutenants from under¬
neath the wreckage. They inimedi
atelv rushed the injured airmen to
the base hospital at Fort McPherson,
where they were given medical atten
tion.
Officials of the medical department
at Fort McPherson stated that Lieu¬
tenant Watson suffered two broken
legs in the accident, one being badly
shattered near the hip joint. In addi
lion he suffered innumerable cuts,
bruises and sprains and, although in
a critical condition, physicians at the
fort believe that they can save his
life.
Lieutenant Weaver was badly cut
and bruised in the accident.

pared to decide questions referred to
him. Premier Clemenceau, it is be¬
lieved. will be president of the peace
conference. This is considered fit¬
ting because the conference will be
held in France. President Wilson’s dis¬
position is in favor of entirely public
proceedings.

MANY OWN LIBERTY BONDS
Consevative Estimate That There Is
One in Every Home Throughout
the Country.
Before the war there were sub¬
stantially 11,000,000 savings bank de¬
positors. Add to this 3,000,000 de¬
positors in state banks, which list, of
course, includes many commercial ac¬
counts ; 400,000 postal savings bank
depositors and 100,000 depositors in
private banks. After eliminating du¬
plications, it would likely be lib¬
eral to estimate that there were 14,
000,000 money savers in the United
States before the war, with not to
exceed 10,000,000 families probably
represented in this number. The
fourth Liberty loan was supported by
21,000,000 subscriptions. It would
likely be extremely conservative to say
that 3,000,000 others have subscribed
to former issues of the Liberty loan,
and were unable to do so in the fourth
loan. We can then with -safety say
there are 24.000,000 owners of Lib¬
erty bonds in America today. By
the elimination of 4,000,000 for dupli¬
cates we are not in danger of misstat¬
ing facts when we say that there is
now a bond in every home in the coun¬
try.—Thrift Magazine.
