Manager Perdue, of the fast Her¬
cules Powder Company’s baseball
team, is making an effort to get a
game for the Norwich street park
some afternoon during the present
week and indications are that it can
be arranged.
Some of the fastest semi-pro play¬
ers in the state are now in Camp Con¬
ey ar,d there is no doubt but that a
real baseball game will be pulled off.
Manager Perdue is also negotiating
with Jesup for a game at an early
date and this also may be staged
during the present week. One thing
seems certain that there will be some
garh.es and fans can rest assured that
these will be good ones.
TAX EXPERTS COMMEND
ACTION ON MEASURE
Atlanta, Ga., July 16.—Tax
here today commended the recent
tion of the ways and means commit¬
tee of the lower house of the general
assembly in voting against repeal of
the tax equalization law unless and
until some adequate plan of procur
ing revenues for the state shall be
provided.
Lawmakers point out that to abol¬
ish the equalization system witnout
something as, good or better to re¬
place it, wduld leave the state treas¬
ury from two to three and a half mil¬
lion dollars poorer.
A striking case has been shown be¬
fore the tax equalization law went
into effect. One man in Banks county
had nineteen hundred acres and paid
on about six hundred; dozens were
given in at live dollars an acre.

recently laid this plan before the

has no right to attempt to dictate
to Europe, but that “when it comes
to loaning our money we have a
right to demand satisfactory agree

“As America has not the right to
demand that the budgets of Euro¬

Mid that mutual understandings

be developed, these matters can
be approached only on the basis

of America will be in
An improvement in foreign mar¬
for American products is an
element in Mr. Kent's
plan. I-Ie says:
"If,, after deducting taxes neces¬
sary to cover the portion of the
Allied debts cancelled, the increase
in the total national income of
America is greater because of the
greater buying power of Europe
brought about by means of such
cancellation, the people of the
United States would be the richer.
There would seem no doubt but
that everyone would vote for can
collation if it would assure greater
national net income, with economic
and greater happiness for all
p CO p| es
“The real question, therefore, is
whether it would bo possible to co¬
operate with European govern¬
ments along such lines that, in
exchange for cancellation of a por
tion of the Allied indebtedness to
the United States, tho.y will give
agreements ........... a . aiming .. ; ... t n.r to correct t thos-' L (VO n
things in their countries at present
economically unsound. It is not
conceivable how mere cancellation
could be anything but harmful, un¬
less accompanied by economic re¬
adjustment all along the line.
“Further agreements along the
lines mentioned could not be made
effective unless the whole repara¬
tions tangle is settled. At the same
time, therefore, that negotiations
are being carried on in connection
with any possible trading of the
portion of the Allied indebtedness
against agreements that will lay a
better foundation for progress to¬
ward prosperity in Europe, positive
agreements must he made between
the Allies and Germany in connec¬
tion with reparations that can and
will be lived up to.
A Loan to Germany
“A loan to Germany of sufficient
size to restore her economic situa¬
tion and enable her to make prog¬
ress toward paying reparations, and
which came ahead of reparations,
with a stabilized Europe, would be
absolutely good, and if made at the
request and for the benefit of the
European Allied countries, it could
undoubtedly be placed in America.
"The constant friction which has
existed between Germany and the
Allies because of the reparations
would be eliminated. Confidence
would be restored to the peoples of
Europe, whose badly shaken morale
is probably the greatest obstacle
In the way of accomplishment of
those things necessary for stability.
“No force exists in the American
Government which would permit
negotiations such as those outlin¬
ed. But the American Congress is
the servant of the American people
when the people choose to make it
so. It is conceivable that the effect
of an aroused public opinion over
co-operation with European nations
to- restore the' business of the
‘vorid would cansA.he members of
-he new American Congress so to
express themselves as to warrant
the Administration in undertaking
negotiations subject to later rati

AUTHOR SPEAKS
AT PRESS MEETING
(By Associated Press.)
Lavonia, Ga., July 17.—More than
thirty years ago, CToi ra Harris, Geor¬
gia author, was sent by Clark Hon -
ell, editor of The Atlanta Constitu
tion, to coyer a (lays session of the
Ge ° 1 ' 8 ’ ia Gc n eral Assembly. Last

£ ia P r f R ;LAssociation . that she stdl
thought , the copy I turned in on this
mv first and last assignment as
newspaper woman the most
piece of writing I ever did.”
Mrs. Harris discussed her itrfpres
sion gained from many years of ex
penence with editors. During this
time, she sai n she Had never known
an editor to break his word or be -\
tray a confidence. Many persons,
she continued, are born censors and
proof readers of life,” but few of
them have the qualifications which
go into the making of an editor.
In my line of work, it has been
my business to observe your various
manifestations, like an old pop-eyed
cameia concealed somewhere that has
taken a thousand negatives of you in
secret, she told the editors. 1 his
is my first exhibition of them—crude,
of course, since I am not skilled in
the motion, picture business. But
I could write a very good see

The swiftness with whicn he can
turn his corners of judgment, the
comedies and rages through which
passes in dealing with that class ui
people who regard every newspaper
as a sort of perpetual, rummage
of ideas; which is a place where sec
ond hand things are sold dirt cheap.
As a preacher knows the moral and
spiritual weaknesses of men, and as
a physician knows their ailments, so
do editors know the mental and per¬
sonal vanities of men and women.
“I could make a lively picture of a
certain old editor of international dis¬
tinction as I saw him once, dealing
with spring poets.
“Poetry, as you know, is harvested
in April as peas are harvested in
September,
“This old gentleman was a mild,
scholarly man, with a long gray beard
and peaceful,eyes. His habit was to
stuff all the poetry submitted to his
magazine into a certain drawer of
his desk until it was full. Then he
would snatch the drawer far out, go
through it like ‘Paddiruski’ playipg a
furious, crashing tune, designed to
indicate frenzied destruction. His
nose drawn with scars beneath steel
rimmed spectacles, his eyes spitting
