WITH PADDLE AS WEAPON POLICEMAN KEPT ORDER IN CROWDED WHITEHALL A decidedly unique method of pre serving order and ridding Whltehnll street of the noisy Fourth of July fire cracker wns adopted Wednesday by Policeman Berry, who does duty In that busy thoroughfare. Numbers of small boys seemed Im bued with the Idea that Whitehall was the proper place to shoot firecrackers and make other Fourth of July noises and the fun started early In the day. Pollcemnn Berry realized that he had a Job on his hands and he sought a plan by which he hoped to most effectively rid the street of the disturbance. Finally, a bright Idea flitted Into his brain. Going to a fireworks stand. he procured a piece of board and con' verted I: Into :i licftv looking paddle. And then armed with this new weapon of police warfare he started out on crusade. Wielding the paddle, the officer In' formed the small boys what they might expect If they shot any fireworks In the street. This warning had more effect than n threat- to arrest. The boys feared the paddle and they "ekldooed." It was necessary for the ofllcer to touch up only one or two little fellows lightly to Impress on them the mean Ing of his threat. The paddle crusade worked so 'sue cessfully Ofllcer Berry was not com pelted to enter a case against any of the boys for shooting. FIVE BOYS ARE KILLED BY STICK OF DYNAMITE By Private Leased Wire.

Mr. Flynt, of Spalding, who was speak ing when tho houso adjourned Tues day, took tho floor to conclude hts ar gument agalnBt the bill by Mr. Conner. Tho following sentences were taken from Mr. Flynt's remarks: "The agricultural school at Athens Is fnroe." "There Is not a corporal's guard of bona fide students In the agricultural school" "Why, old man Hunnlcutt, the dear old man who Is paid *2,000 a year to teach farming, says he - can't teach blank walls.” "We want an agricultural college where something other than football players and lawyer* will be turned out.” "They tell ns the university has re cently acquired *160,000 worth of prop erty, and a man who lived In Athens for several year# told mo the property was dear at *50 an acre."

POPULISTS INTEND TO VOTE AND TEAR OFF THE PLEDGE It waa common talk In the Popullat convention Wednesday that Populists all over Georgia would vote ln the Democratic primary, but would' tear the pledge off. While they are willing to vote In that primary, they are not willing to accept the Democratic pledge. It le fur ther said that hundreds of these Pop ulists look on the primary In the light of a general election; that they consid er that they have a perfect right to vote In the primary, but look on the effort to bind them with a pledge as arbitrary and Impossible ot enforce ment. Won’t this tangle up things. If It works out as many predict? It will result In the throning out of all tick ets from which the pledge has been tom. And that I* going to make the Popu lists mighty mad I If that does happen It will result In n Populist ticket, and a rallying ot the faithful to the banner. This Is some of the speculation float ing about Just now. It may or may not be significant. Basis Is given for It because the con vention Wednesday quickly disinte grated after a resolution had been passed to meet again on August 21 to put out a ticket. As the state Democratic primary takes piece August M, the Populists may be standing oft to see Just what does happen. i Runaway Team Dash es Into Loaded Hack.

Lobbying Charged. "This bill has been lobbied’ more than any bill ever Introduced In this legislature." -If any railroad or corporation had done the same amount of lobbying, the gentlemen from Bibb would be roaring In that mighty voice of hie against the demon corporation." Following Mr. Flynt’* speech, Mr. I ’elder, of Bibb, Introduced a resolution limiting the time of each speaker to fifteen minutes. Messrs. Knight, of Berrien, and Hall, of Bibb, took ad vantage of this resolution to say a few words. The resolution prevailed. Mr. Holder, of Jackson, favored the bill.
