couragement. Notwithstanding the
fact that the streets of the city are
lined with the idle negroes they will
balk when you tell them you want
them to come to either Statesboro or
Bulloch County. Farmers who have
succeeded in getting negroes to coma
to Bulloch have done so by telling
them they want them at either Brook
let, Metter, Register, Pulaski, Areola,
or some other point.

Public Mind
To the Herald:
Surely your correspondent* who
complain of the paucity of the mod

of the whimsies of the age, are temer-
Itoui persons!
I>o they realise that the queen of
one of the greatest kingdoms in the
world has been almost entirely drop
ped by good society because she set
herself against the present styles?
She tried to stem the tide of fashion,
and fashion merely passed her by.
egad, and left her an Island, half sub
merged In mid stream. Fashions come
and go. but they do not go until thev
have run the gamut of all their cap

have to shut your eyes and wait. Re

again one of those days Women will
be so modest that they will again

way. has started already.

When Saloons Were Voted Out
To The Herald:
In reading the papers I see that the
city council of lrdepfn<l«not*. Missouri,
1* much concerned about the dtre re
suits that edit follow the wiping out of
the revenue from the saloons of that
town for the neat four years. The coun
cil seem* to think that the town will
go nil to pieces without that saloon li
cense money.
! ant a traveling man. t live in Mount
Vernon, seat of Jefferson County. 111.,
about ons hundred miles southeast of
t*t. Louts We voted out six sa'oons In
tSi. T cose saloon* paid the town In
license tax If. ooo apiece. It:. 000 « year
In all. xhe wet* made the same cry
there that they are making In Independ
ence now: $12,000 was a big annual sum
to lose snd they predicted great raises
tn taxation, had business, loss of popula
tion. unpavec streets and so on.
Now here Is the way It has resulted
tn the nine years we have been without
aaloona and anyone who doubts tbqje
figu4*e« may write to the mayor, or any
city officer of Mount Vernon and con
firm them.
When the city voted dry the popula
tion was eight thousand. Now it is
twelve thousand. At that time the city
received yearly $17,250 in taxes and $12,-
000 from saloons, a total of $29,250, and
was In debt between $5,000 and $6,000
all the time.
In 1913 the city received $24,099 in
taxes and at the close of the fiscal year
hau $9,342 surplus in the treasury be
sides a park fund of $5,500 on hand, a
total surplus of $14,842. In the same
year the city spent $4,000 for improve
ments.
Under saloon rule the streets were
ragged and unpaved. In 1913 alone it
built seven arid a half miles of paved
streets and thirty-five miles of cement
walks.
As evidence of our prosperity without*
saloons we raised SIOO,OOO to obtain a
large car plant and $25,000 for a glass
w'orks. Two new school buildings of
eight rooms each are being built.
The general business conditions are so
much improved In cash sales and collec
tions, as well as in growth, and there is
so little poverty and crime as compared
with the saloon period, and the city’s
financial affairs are so far ahead that
those who formerly thought saloon li
censing the only way to handle the busi
ness have learned that saloons are a
curse instead of a benefit, and now a
propostion to go back to the saloon li
censing system would find not a dozen
supporters in our whole town.
I may add that the laws against liquor
selling are rigidly enforced, we having
sent thirty-two bootleggers to the fed
eral penitentiary the first two years. We
have no drunkenness, and our little chil
dren growing up have never seen a sa
loon. A STRANGER.
Germans Intercept
a French Carrier
Pigeon; Warning
New York.—German newspapers re
ceived here publish the following un
der a Stuttgart date line:
“The general commanding the
Wuerttemburg army corps announces
that a French carrier pigeon had been
intercepted at Andernach, which bore
exact reports regarding the transport
of German troops. This pigeon was
probably started somewhere in Wuert
temburg or Baden. There is also a
possibility that several French carrier
pigeon stations are being operated in
these districts.
"The general commanding herewith
calls attention of the population to
such carrier pigeons and at the same
time requests them to report Immedi
ately any observation they may make
in this regard.
Ghent Occupation
By the Germans
Paris, 12:45 p. m.—The Midi prints
a dispatch from Ghent, saying that the
hugromaster had an interview yester
day with the German commander at
Cordegen regarding the method of the

agreed the city would not be occupied
by troops provided the civil guard,
which is stationed at Wahregem, 25
miles distant, returns and is disarmed.
The municipal council will provide a
fixed amount of provisions for the
troops dally.
It is confirmed, says the correspon
dent, that the Germans intend to oc
cupy Flanders so that fresh provisions
may be received.
