daily papers Thursday ,of last week,
but little is known of the connection
of Harold Fulcher, well known young
man formerly of this section, in the
mysterious slaying of H. C. Eider i i
an Atlanta apartment house. Keen
interest is being manifested here in
the outcome of the case which is out
lined in news dispatches as follows:
A coroner’s jury, hearing evider.ee
of illegal rum running and reform,
today found that H. C. (Jockey) El
der came to his death from a pistcl
shot fired by Harold Fulcher, alias P.
P. Clay, and ordered Fulcher and two
others held on charges of murder.
Byron Shaw, self-styled partner in
“the liqu.or business” with Elder, and
Charlie Leah, who was described Dy
witnesses as “working for Eider,”
were ordered into custody without
privilege of bond.
Mrs. H. C. Elder and her sister.

Washington, Feb. 4.—Government
l'eliei lor education, described as lac
ing an emergency, was weighed in
uie minds oi memuers ot congress on
botn sides ,ox me capitoi Saluiday un
der the urge ot two Georgians—Sena-
ator George and Representative Dean.
The condition of schools throughout
the country was plactd baldly beiore
the house by Dean, who in a speech,
urged action 9n a bill by Senator
George which would authorize a $160,-
tiOO.UbO grant to over current .operat
ing expenses of public schools.
George early in the session pro
posed tnat the RFC make loans to
states and their political subdivisions
to keep the schools open during full
terms. But in a measure introduced
late the senator asked for an outright
grant $50,000,000 for the remainder
of the present term and $100,000,000
next term.
Dean, tormer editor of a weekly
newspaper at Alma, Ga., held the
house floor for ten minutes on Wed
nesday to ask for school relief. He
told his colleagues that there were
200,000 teachers whose salaries ior
1933-1934 were less than $760 a year,
$5,000 teachers receiving less than
$4o0 and 45,000 less than $350.
Teachers throughout the country.
Dean said, have owing them $40,000,-
000 in back salaries.
“Permit me to say,” asserted the
representative, who is a member of
the committee on education, ‘’in my
judgment, the Army and the Navy oi
this nation do not constitute the
greatest defense of this nation, nei
ther do the farms nor the industries
of the country constitute its greatest
fortificaion. In my judgment, the most
powerful and the most potent factor
in civilization is good citizenship, and
it is for good citizenship that millions
of dollars are spent in our country
for public education.
“In this connection let me say that
the youth of our land is the greatest
and most powerful potentiality that
we have.”
Dean said the “unpaid warrants of
the teachers of this country, backed
by the property, the resources, and
the morale of our citizens in every
state, are just as good collateral for
the RFC asn the bonds and assets of
any and all railroads.” Representative
McClintic, of Oklahoma, has intro
duced a bill to direct the RFC to ac
cept these warrants as collateral for
loans.
The Georgian expressed his belie!
that congress should consider the im
portnace of a national equalization
fund to be provided by a tax which
he proposed for tax exempt securi
ties, “to be put in a fund in the treas
ury for educational purposes and ap
propriated to the various states with
out any supervision or control by the
federal government.
This speech of Dean held the spot
light of activity in the Georgia dele
gation during the past week.
The delegation gathered at a am-
ner given Friday night by Represen'
tative Brown, honoring T. J. Hamil
ton, editor of the Augusta Chronicle,
Augusta postmaster and chairman of
the Georgia Public Works Board.
Hamilton came to Washington for
