NEAR-LAW AND NEAR BEER.
Tlip 'Maw enforcement" meeting on
Friday night will not lie without good
effect upon IhiM community In the
lona fun. Certain of our citizens be
lieve that the city will never maintain
lew until It starts out on an honest
and clear-sighted basis and gives rec
ognition to the glaring fact that the
profils on the sale of near-beer do not
warrant the purchase of a license
costing hundreds of dollars. We argue
It that in refusing to give near-beer
licenses at a fair and Just price the
city makes virtual acknowledgement
that it expects those who pay for the
licenses to brenk the law. No one
can honestly deny that Augusta's his
tory since the prohlbttipn law has
been the law of Georgia warrants this
deduction. The talk about enforcing
the law while holding the license for
near-beer saloons at prices which pro
hibit a profit on the sale of that
benign and pure young drink strikes
us as Insincere and illogical, but It
appears that a considerable number
of citizens are persuaded that this Is
a "practical” step toward good order
and law.
It is scotching the snake in prefer
ence to killing it, taut we shall see
what we shall see. If the Augusta
people prefer near-law enforcement to
law enforcement, they may be sure
of one thing, they will not get law en
forcement. If they stand for restrict
ing the sale of liquor, but not for en
forcing the prohibition law, they will,
no doubt, succeed In reducing the size
of Augusta's liquor scandal, but they
will not place Augusta In the range
of a law-abiding, law respecting com
munity.
Kvery cltlsen gets as much lawless
ness as It will stand for - never any
leas. As we have before remarked we
think when the city authorltizea con
sent to see the state law broken they
might Just as well put n high price
upon giving this consent.
If It la money and not morals we
are after, let us at least get the
money.
Tho meeting of citizens Invited to
discuss this matter, will, neverthe
less. be of value to Augusta. Men of
prominence and standing have put
themselves on record as approving
certain courses These questions do
not stay still. It is true that the res
olutions finally carried are not of a
character altogether satisfactory to
those who most earnestly believe that
respect for law and obedience to law is
the essential lesson for every com*
munlt) to learn, hut It Is at least
something to have started a discussion
of this matter.
COTTON SHIPMENTS.
In the opinion of the state, treasury
ami Commerce departments at Wash -
inirtoa cot tun shl|nurntH from this
country to Germany sml Austria will
proceed at the rate of from 75,000 to
160,000 hales a month as soon as the
matter of marine Insurance shall have
been adjusted satisfactorily to the
shippers. A committee appointed by
the secretaries of the three depart
ments to consider the foreign cotton
markets has issued a statement to the
•fleet that there Is u ''tremendous de
mand" for this staple in the two Teu
tonic empires and that the prices ranee
from If to 18 cents a pound. The un
dermandlng said to have been reached
after consultation with the govern
ments of the belligerent powers that
cotton Is to lie regarded as Innocent
merchandise, free of taint of contra
band, would seem to hate opened the
way to brisk trading In this commod
ity
Just at this point the outlook ha*
become clouded attain by representa
tions from the British government that
a thorough search of ships bearing
American cargoes will he insisted upon |
because It has been discos ered that,
eases of copper have been concealed
in cotton bale*, and because copper
might be stowed in the hold of the
vessel beneath the Innocent merchan
dise superimposed thereon. The rep
resentations *ru in part absurd ami in
part derogatory to American good
faith. The absurdity consists In the
supposition that copper ingots In con
siderable quantity are sent to the cot
ton gins of the Mouth to be concealed
In tha bales Itefore the latter are
pressed %nd bound, Furthermore, tha
•upposttlon assumes the existence .if
a Widespread conspiracy between cot
ton planters and copper miners The
suspicion expressed by the British au
thorities as to the concealment of cop
per in the ships' holds under lading*
of cotton bales must be based on the
presumption that th of
fraudulent clearance* at American
custom houses is an easy matter and
that our officials habitually connive
tn such practices.
The right of search is not dented by
this government; hut this right does
not Include the right to t.u.. .
neutral trading vessel into a port of
the captor in order that the cargo may
be ransacked, Ordinarily the search
of a neutral vessel by the naval offi
cers boarding the same should go no
further than an examination of the
•hip’s papers. Rummaging in the cargo
is Justified only by a well-founded
suspicion of the presence of contra
band aboard • The reasons given n

Potash is Available From Colton
Seed Meal When Fed to Animals
Ample Supply is at Hand in Spite of the Fact That the Potash
Mines of Germany, the World’s Source of Supply, Are
Closed to the World By the Warring of Nations in Europe.
With the potash mines of Germany,
tho source of the world supply, closed
to the world on account of the Euro
pean war, tho Southern farmer Is nat
urally concerned with the question of
how he can most economically supply
himself with tho necessary amount of
this fertilization Ingredient.
(’resident Andrew M. Soule, presi
dent of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture, lias answered the ques
tion.
There Is at hand a sufficient supply
of potash.
livery ton of cotton seed meal con
tains from 36 to 40 pounds of potash,
ns well as 140 pounds of nitrogen and
60 pounds of phosphoric acid. When
fed to animals practically all of the
potash in conserved and is available
in the form of manure.
Straw from cereals, corn stover nnd
other forms of coarse fodder consti
tute a source of potash. Coupled with
cotton seed meal a good ration for
the animals Is formed which none by
itself affords. When these forms of
roughage are fed with coton seed meal
tin* manure contains more potash
than the ordinary form; In fact, as
much as 10 to lf> pounds per ton, when
the general average of lot manure
he made do not Justify such notion,
being simply reflections on the Indi
vidual and official honesty of Amer
icans. The other point In dispute be
ttveeii tli l governments of ttie United
States and Great Britain concerns con
ditional contraband shipped to neutr.il
countries. Now. shipments to neutral
countries are prlma fnole innocent, no
matter what their character may be.
Even war material shipped from one
neutral port to another cannot lie re
garded as contraband; and tills char
acter is imposed on the same only
when the ultimate destination is bellig
erent territory. The suspicions of the
captor, however, will not suffice to
fix the stigma of contraband on a
cargo; the burden of proving a hostile
destination Is upon the party who as
sorts the fact. Nations thnt really
value American friendship ought to
|rs: arrogant in the assertion of their
alleged rights.
REGRET FELT HERE OVER
DEATH MRS. W. 0. SHEARER
Occurred Friday Night While
Visiting in Athens-- Was the
Mother of Mr. 0. T. Shearer,
of Augusta.
Friends In Augusta will regret to
learn of the death of Mrs. W. C.
Shearer, of Atlanta, which occurred
Friday night at home of her daugh
ter. Mrs. It. W. Spier, In Athens,
where she was visiting. The remains
were taken to Atlanta and will he in
terred there Sunday in the family
burial ground at Oakland. Mr. G. T.
Shearer, of this city, a son, with Mrs.
Shearer, left Saturday afternoon for
Atlanta to attend the funeral. Mrs.
Shearer is survived by six children,
two daughters, Mrs. Spier, of Athens,
and Mrs. It. 1* Gilmer, of Atlanta, and
four sons, Messrs. K, H., J. M. and V.
H. Shearer, of Atlanta, ami G. T.
Shearer, of this city.
The death of Mrs. Shearer marks
the passing of one of Atlanta's oldest
residents, although site was only 73
years old. Mrs. Shearer was born In
iFhester, S. t\, and moved to Atlanta
Just after the war, when Atlanta was
then Marthiutville. Previous to her
marriage she was Miss Harriet Symma
Jones and her marriage was the first
evening church wedding thnt ever
occurred In Atlanta, and was from the
home of General Uartrell. Since the
death of her husband, she has divided
her time between her two daughters,
Mrs. Spier and Mrs, R. 1,. Glltner, of
Atlanta. The remains were taken to
'Atlanta, where they will be Interred
today in the old family section at
i Oakland
Mrs. Shearer was one of the old
school, a gentle refined old-time wo
man. a great reader and a broad
thinker, always bright and cheery, a
woman who saw only the beautiful
In life and a woman whose loss will
be felt far beyond the confines of her
family circle.

Hy the utilization of the hotton seed
meal as a feed, of course the farmer
gets a double profit first, that result
ing from the feeding, the second, the
profit of the rich manure it produces.
The fact that meal 1b not bringing as
high prices as formerly decreases the
ordinary cost of potash from this
source. It likewise doorcases the cost
mitering into tho feeding of the ani
mals as well as enhancing profits In
that direction.
This Is, indeed, the opportune time
for the utllzatlon and the largest, pis
sible use of cotton seed meal In the
South. “Use Coton Seed Meal on the
Farm" Is a slogan that Dr. Soule ad
vises.
If cotton seed meal is converted Into
a food product on the farm, It will
help retrieve what has been lost on
cotton.
There is no better feed for farm ani
mals or for livestock than cotton seed
meal mixed with corn stover, straw
from cereals and other coarse rough

There Is no occasion for anyone to
despair because of a supposed Ina
bility to secure a sufficient amount of
potash for next year's crops.
