THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN BEGINS ON ANNIVERSARY
OP ENTRY INTO WAR.
> 0
; i
Secretary MeAdoo Announces That
Amount and Interest Rate Are
Yet to Be Determined.
Washington, March 1.?April 6,;
^the first anniversay of the United
States' entry into the war, the third
Liberty loan will open. There will
be a campaign of three or four weeks.
In announcing the date tonight
Secretary MeAdoo said the amount ;
of the loan, the interest rate and:
other features such as convertability !
of bonds of previous issues, maturity
and terms of payment are yet to be j
determined and that new legislation
will be necessary before plans can be
completed.
'The fact that the amount of the
loan is dependent on further legislation
indicates that it will he for more
than $3,600,000,000, the remainder
authorized by unissued bonds, and
the fact that certificates of indebtedness
now being sold in anticipation
of the loan bear 4 1-2 per cent, affords
some indication of the interest
rate. ' How large the loan shall be
depends largely, however, on the fate
of the pending war finance bill carrying
an appropriation of a half billion
dollars, and action on the railroad
bill with its appropriation of a
similar amount.
Although Mr. McAdoo made no
specific announcement it is now taken
for granted in official circles that
there will be but one more loan be
lore June ju, me ena ui me uscai
year.
The statement concerning the date
of the campaign was made at this
time, Secretary McAdoo explained,
give every community time to prepare
for the big bond sale, and he
strongly advocated popular demonstrations
of patriotism on the day of j
the opening of the loan and the sec-1
ond year of war.

A Sympathetic Fence.
A gentleman traveling on horseback
came upon an Irish farmer fencing
in a most desolate piece of land.
"What are you fencing in that lot
for, my man?" said he. "A herd of
cows would starve to death on that
land."
"And sure, your honor, wasn't I
fencing it to keep the poor beasts out
iv it?"?Country Gentleman.

ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL.
Fine of One Thousand Dollars and
Serve One Year On Gang.
Atlanta, Feb. 27.?One year at
hard labor on the chaingang and a
fine of $1,000?the maximum penalty
for a misdemeanor case?was
the sentence imposed on J. W. Cook,
real estate agent, for an attempt to
blackmail Asa G. Candler, multi-mil
lionaire soft drink manufacturer ana
mayor of Atlanta, in the Fulton county
superior court today. The jury
deliberated less than a half hour and |
Judge Ben Hill passed sentence im-|
mediately upon hearing its report, j
The trial was one of the speediest j
in the history of Atlanta courts.
Motion for a new trial was at once j
made by council for the defense and
Judge Hill fixed March 16 as the date1
for hearing arguments on the plea. |
Cook's bond was placed at $3,000. It:
was announced that the case against.
Mrs. Margaret Hirscli, wife of H. H. \
Hirsch, a well known insurance man,!
indicted jointly with Cook, would be;
called Friday morning.
Tried in Short Time.
Less than eight hours' time was
consumed in disposing of the Cook
case. A jury was secured within an
hour after court convened and the
State had presented the' bulk of its
evidence before the noon recess, in
the testimony of Mr. Candler, the first
witness, and Forrest Adair, who acted
as his agent in dealing with Cook
and Mrs. Hirsch. Tcie defense depended
solely on a brief statement
by Cook.
Attracted by the prominence of the
principals, crowds thronged the court
house an hour before court convened
and when the case was called every
seat in the room was occupied, scores
of women and children being among
the spectators. Mrs. Hirsch entered
the court attired in a blue tailored
suit and wearing a heavy veil. She
discarded the latter immediately and
smiled and nodded to those about her :
in an unconcerned manner. She took
a seat among counsel across the table
from Cook.
Thus Mrs. Hirsch spent her 38th
birthday. Mayor Candler is 67 years
of age. 1
Simeon Hyde, of Charleston, and
Walter W. Benson, of Greenwood,
have been appointed captains in the
new regiment of the reserve militia,
according to an order issued from
the office of the Adjutant General. 1

COMMITTEE.
A Threatened Harvest.
As the oats in her hat nodded and
trembled they persistently tickled the
ear of the man seated next to her.
He stood it in silence for some time,
then he ostentatiously took a huge
knife out of his pocket and began
to sharpen it on the sole of his boot.
"Whatever are you g-g-going to
3-d-do?" gasped the girl.
"Oh, don't you worry, Miss!" said
the man, testing the edge of the
blade on his thumb. "But the next
time them oates gets in my ears
there's going to be a harvest!"

REUNION IN TULSA. .
Local Committee Announcement Follows
Statement Concerning Rates.
Tulsa, Okla., March 2.?Reports
that Tulsa had withdrawn its invitation
to the 'Confederate Veterans to
hold their 1918 reunion in this city,
because of the war, were denied today
by the local committee having
in charge arrangements for the
gathering of the old soldiers,
but it was stated that the reunion
would probably be posponed
from the date originally set in June
to some time in September.
The announcement by the local
committee followed a statement issued
by Director General McAdoo, of *
the railroad administration, giving
assurance that adequate equipment
would be provided for the transpor/
tation of veterans and visitors to this
city, and that the railroads would be
authorized to make a special rate of
a cent a mile for the reunion.
Urges Catts to Keep Liquor Out.
Columbia, March 1.?Governor .
Manning, in an appeal to Sidney J.
Catts, Governor of Florida, asks that
something be done to suppress the
"pernicious and demoralizing traffic"
in liquor between Jacksonville and
South Carolina. In the absence of
Governor Catts, a reply has been received
from J. S. Blitch, his secretary,
who says that the Floridian is
doing everything to have a "dry"
State and a "dry" nation, and the
prospects for a liquorless Jacksonville
are bright, as he thinks that Florida
will adopt prohibition by an
overwhelming majority at a referendum
to be held in November.

Either Would Do.
An Irishman occupied a barber's
chair recently and he was drowsy.
His eyes could not be kept open and
his head rolled about and dropped
over his shoulder and down upon his
chest in a way that made shaving a .
difficulty for the knight of the lather
and a dangerous one for the patient.
At last the barber said gently but
firmly:
"Look-e-here, sir, I can't possibly
shave you unless you hold up your
head."
To which the response was made
with drowsy indifference:
"Well, thin, cut my hair."?London
