NEGROES GIVE BULLOCH “THE ONCE OVER” Statesboro, Ga. -The efforts of the Bulloch County farmers to obtain cot ton pickers from Savannah, where there are thousands of loafing negroes have been met with anything but en 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.

Public Mind To the Herald: Surely your correspondent* who complain of the paucity of the mod ern female’s raiment, who make light 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 rice.. If you don't like it. you will have to shut your eyes and wait. Re sure we shall be wearing crinolines again one of those days Women will be so modest that they will again wear long pantalettes to hide their nnkles. a movement which, by the way. has started already. Hut what women choose to display, the very devil cannot hide. The oniy solution is Don't Look. J. H. C. 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.
