FOUR YEAR RULING IS
m EFFECTIVE ONLY IN 1917
I •
¥ Lincolnton, Ga.—An impression
seems to have gained general curren
cy about the state that the constitu
tional amendment making county of
ficers elective for four years becomes
operative at once and that the offic
ials just elected will get the benefit
of it.
Such is not the case, however. The
amendment provides specifically that
it shall not become effective until af
ter January 1, 1917.
Therefore officials elected recently
will serve only two years and com
missions are being so issued to them.
Those elected in 1916 will take office
January 1, 1917, and serve four years
THOMSON MAN
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
BY FRIEND IN PARTY
Thorhson, Ga.—While out hunting
with a party of friends Tuesday after
noon, Mr. Oscar Montgomery was ac
cidently shot by Mr. George Russell.
Only the distance of some twenty-five
or thirty yards between the two pre
vented a serious accident, but as it
was only about twenty of the small
bird shot hit Mr. Montgomery, most
of them entering the right thigh, two
in the breast and one in the forehead.
He was facing Mr. Russell at the
time, though hid from view by some
weeds and 3mall shrubbery', which
also accounts for him not being hit
by more of the shot. All the shot that
took effect sank deep in the flesh and
Dr. Gibson who dressed the wounds
did not think it necessary to probe for
them. The shooting was purely an
Occident. Mr. Montgomery has suf
| frred no pain or discomforture beyond
Fa little soreness.
DUBLIN MAN HAS LOST
FINGER, MASHED IN AUTO
Dublin, Ga. —Mr. James Hawkins
had his right hand badly mashed while
working on an automobile truck last
night near Dudley. The first two
joints of the index finger were taken
off, and the other fingers were badly
mashed and cut.
The truck had stopped and Mr.
Hawkins was doing some work on it
when in some W’ay r the heavy drive
chain caught his hand. He was given
medical attention and this morning
came back to Dublin and was carried
to the Thompson Sanitarium, where
his hand was given further attention.
He is getting along as well as possi
ble under the circumstances, but it
will be some time before he is able
to use his hand again.
How To Make the
Quickest„Simplest Cough
Remedy
Much Better thnn the Ready-
Made Kind and You .Save 92.
Fully Guaranteed
Tins home-made cough syrup is now
used in more homes than any otner cough
remedy. Its promptness, ease and cer
tainty in conquering distressing coughs,
chest and throat colds, is really remark
able. You can actually feel it take hold.
A day’s use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough—relieves' even whooping
cough quickly. Splendid, too, for bron
chitis, spasmodic croup, bronchial asthma
and winter coughs.
.Get from any druggist 2% ounces of
I’inex (50 cents worth), pour it in a pint
bottle and till the bottle v/itli plain granu
lated sugar syrup. This gives you—at a
cost of only 54 cents —a full pint of better
cough syrup than you could buy for $2.50.
'Takes but a few minutes to prepare. Tull
directions with Pinex. Tastes good and
never spoils.
You will be pleasantly surprised how
quickly it loosens dry, hoarse or tight
coughs, and heals the inflamed mem
branes in a painful cough. It also stops
the formation of phlegm in the throat
and bronchial tubes, thus ending the per
sistent loose cough.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex
tract, rich in guaiacol, which is so heal
ing to the membranes.
To avoid disappointment, be sure and
ask your druggist for “2% ounces Pinex,”
and don t accept anything else.
A guarantee of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. The Pinex Co., Tt.

MUNICIPAL DEMOCRATIC
CLUB ELECTION, BEAUFORT
Beaufort, S. C.—The officers for the
next tw r o years were elected by the
Beaufort Municipal Democratic 'Club
at a meeting held in the Auditorium
on Tuesday evening. Amendments to
the constitution were adopted to make

WASH I NGToTfARMERS
SELL SOME OF COTTON
Sandersville, Ga.—Some of Washing
ton county’s farmers, who have been
holding their cotton for ten cents now
realize tha~ price will not be reached
soon and are marketing a few bales
each week. This plan should be adopt
ed by all, as It not only relieves their
financial stringency, but helps the
merchants and others, as it naturally
puts more money into circulation.
Should they all adopt this plan of
gradually marketing their product a
better average price would be received
by them than if sold all in a lump.
All the warehouses here are overflow
ing with cotton.

CARNIVAL DEE. 3
Atlanta Expecting to Out-Do
Herself on the Occasion---Big
Parade and Floats.
Atlanta. —Every detail has been ar
ranged for the big Hog and Hominy
carnival here on the afternoon and
evening of next Thursday, Dec. 3.
Business organizations of all. kinds
have unanimously indorsed the project
and it will be one of the red-letter days
in Atlanta’s calendar.
The railroads have granted special
rates from virtually all sections of the
state, which equal, for the round trip,
one fare plue twenty-five cents. An
influx of visitors is expected.
Features of the carnival will be an
outdoor parade in the afternoon and
a public ball, to which everyone is in
vited, in the evening. In the parade
will be several thousand marchers and
many floats and exhibits. Mayor
Woodward has declared a half-holiday
to permit masking and ‘‘high jinks.”
It will be like the famous Mardi Graus
of New Orleans.
Atlantans are now voting for a
queen of the carnival ball, and the
coronation of her majesty, with a court
of 22 maids of honor will be a feat
ure of the ball. Georgians everywhere
are invited to come to Atlanta and
join in the fun.
STOLE 13 AUTOS IN 1914;
“HE LOVED TO RIDE”
Atlanta, Ga. —That he had stolen thir
teen automobiles within the past year
was boastfully admitted In Judge. Reid's
court my Millard Williams, a 20-year
old young man who lives near Buck
head, Just out of Atlanta. Ha re
ceived a three-year sentence, a year
each on three indictments charging him
with stealing cars.
‘‘Oh, just because I loved to ride,” said
Williams, when the Judge asked him
why he stole the cars. ‘‘X never have
got enough of riding in automobiles.”
“Why didn’t you leave the cars where
the owners could find them?" asked the
court.
"I might have been caught, and I
didn’t wans to take any chances,” ex
plained the youth.
Williams always drove his stolen car*
out in the country, ran them Into a
ditch and abandoned them, carefully
picking a place near a trolley line so he
could get home easily. He never made
an attempt to dispose of a car and evi
dently only borrowed them for a ride.

looked further Into the evidence and had
decided that a case against the defend

During the trial the state made much
of the fact that Reynold* had married
Miss Dora Gerber, of Morencle, Mich.,

The chief weapons employed in this
campaign are first, a rigid quarantine

however, is fully borne out by Ameri

by experience in foreign countries
where the disease has been permitted
to gain a firmer foothold than it has
ever done in this country. In 1908, on
the occasion of the Inst outbreak, ap
pralsers were appointed to determine
the value of tlie condemned herds, and
the owners were then reimbursed to
the extent of the appraised value of
their stock. This method is now being

infected animals are handled. This
precaution is most necessary, and it Is
in fact highly important that persons
who are not equipped in this way
should not venture near suspected
stock, but If they are compelled to do
so they should rigorously abstain there
after from visiting healthy animals.
Many instances are ou record where
the curiosity of farmers In regard to
the new disense has resulted tu the
wide dissemination of it A man is

Foot and mouth disease Is defined as
“an ucute and highly contagious fever
of a specific liature, characterized by
the eruption of the vesicle* of the
mouth, around the coronets of th# feet
nud between the toes." It affects priu
clpally cattle, bogs, sheep and goats,
but there are a large number of other
animals almost as susceptible, such as
the bufTak), camel, deer, giraffe and
other species that in this country are
generally confined to zoological gar
dens. Horses are sometimes, though
rarely. Infected; and dogs, cats and
chickens frequently assist in spreading
tlie disease, tltough they are not su
often themselves the victims. Man
himself may suffer from it, but except
among children it is rarely serious to
human beings.
The germ of the foot and mouth
disease is an organism so small that
it cannot even be detected by the
microscope. It muy be spread In one
or a dozen ways—carried on the cloth
ing. In hay, straw, fodder, conveyed
by direct contact or picked up from
ground over which diseased animals
have passed. After the animal has he

which is quickly followed by a fever,
tho temperature sometimes rising as
high as 100 degrees K. Id a dny or
two small vesicles about the size of
hemp seed or ifeas appear about the
mucous membranes of the mouth, on

vesicles contain a yellow watery fluid
and spread rapidly. Soon after they

If a disease which creates such havoc
Is to be stamped out It is obviously
necessary that stock owners co-operate
In every way with the authorities. The
chief dangers in these outbreaks Is
that sources of Infection may be con
