Work Day For Georgia
Orphans, Saturday,
Oct. sth.
The Child Without A Home
Represented in this State-
Wide Movement
Among the many callssent forth
annually for helping charitable in
stitu'ions of different kinds there
are no appeals more praise-worthy
—none more deserving of assis
tance than the annual Work Day
effort, whereby twenty five or
more Homes in the State ask that
they be given one day’s earnings
out of the three hundred and sixty
five. This is a modest request,
und is not too much to ask consid
ering that the offering is to be
used in the maintenance of the
most helpless class of human be
ings in the wide, wide world.
Each contributor of course de
signates to the Home to which he
wishes his money to be given.
The Methodist Home of the
South Georgia Conference, locat
ed in Macon, Georgia, is asking to
be remembered in this State-wide
endeavor. Since 1872; over twen
ty-three hundred children bave
passed through this Home. And
while the Home is under the con
trol of the Methodist Church its
wenefits are absolutely non-sectari
an.
This large family consists of
from one hundred and twenty-five
to one hundred and fifty children,
At present twenty-five of the
household are little babies.
Here 18 one of the most practi
cal charities in the world,
He who stands by helpless child
hood and contributes his share in
giving them at least a [fighting
chance in hife’s battle has wrought
a good work and made an invest
ment that is divine,
Send all contributions for South
Ga , home to }

The Great Advantage
of Livestock Farm
ing.
Many seem to think that the
chief purpose of livestock on the
farm is to furnish manure for the
land. It is true that at market
prices of feeding stuffs, only pure
bred breeding stock, sold at a
high price, or extra good dairy
cows, are likely to pay more than
a fiir price for the feeds consum
ed and the labor required, leaving
little more than the manure as the
profit; but there is an indirect ad
vantage from keeping livestock
that should not be overlooked, be
cause it is of great importance,
When livestock is kept there must
of necessity be a class of crops
grown and a rotation or variety of
crops produced that tends to in
crease soil * fertility., The farm
with httle livestock is usually
largely devoted to cotton, or corn,
or wheat, or some other crop which
tends rather to deplete than in
crease the fertility of the farm;
but when livestock are to be fed,
grass, legumes and other forage
crops are grown that are of a na
ture to improve the soil and these
are almost certain to remain on
the farm instead of being sold.
This is truly one of the chief ad
vantages of livestock farming.—
The Progressive Farmer.
The country school teacher and
preacher are the most important
and influential men in any com
munity. ‘lf they are of force—
have ability to do their work—
they can command fair salaries,
and if the country or rural com
munities will not pay them living
wages, they go to the cities wheye
their efficient services will earn
them a decent living. Two reasons
why so many people leave the
country and go to the cities are
because they find better schools
and better preachers in the cities.
The explanation is, the city teach
ers azd preachers are better paid.

Four Gompanies
1 :
i Sent fo Cumming,
' Atlanta, Oct, 3.—Four com
panies of picked men from the
anfth (Georgia militia regiment
left vesterday for Cumming to
guard the courthouse there during
the trial of six negroes on trial
for attacking white women.
The [question has inevitably
come up, in connection with pro
gress of developments at Augusta,
will the militiamen at Cumming
be ordered to shoot in case of
violence, and will they dare %o
carry out the orders of their cap
taios if they are ordered to shoot?
If they do shoot any body, will
they be doing it at their own risk
and in danger of facing a tral for
murder 1f a jury later should de
‘cide that the case was not suflicient
ly urgent to justify the shooting?
These are some of the question
that are puzzling the heads of
every member of the state militia
in this part of Georgia. Out ar
the army post it is different, When
a private out there is ordered to
fire, he tires and his responsibili
ty ends. But the privates of the
Georgia national guard, to hear
them talk among themselves, are
going to be mighty chary about
doing any more firing until they
find out just where they stand un
der the law. |
The battallion marched ,away‘
yesterday with rifles loaded with
balls and with explicit orders tg
shoot if it became necessary to
protect the court and the prison
ers.
“Iv’s pretty tough to think that
no matter what happens the fellow
who does the shooting runs the
risk of havieg a murder charge
lodged against him,” was the com
ment of one of the members of
the party as he was preparing to
leave.
The tragic events at Augusta
are apparently going to have one
beneficial result throughout the
whole state, viz., a jpublic dcfini
tion of exactly what rights and
what protections a militiaman has
got and what he has not got,
Frdman Act Is Not |
Available in The
Street Car Strike
Washington, Oct. I.—Mediation
was today asked for by Mayor
Barrett in the Augusta Street
Railway strike and telegrams came
to both Jrdge Clements, chairman!
of the interstate commerce com
mission, and to Judge Martin F.
Knapp, asking if they would in
tervene under the Erdman act.
When Judge Knapp was asked
about the matter tonight he said:
‘Yes, telegrams have been re
ceived here by us from the mayor
of Augusta asking for our assis
tance. We have considered the
matter very carefully but have
reached the conclusion that as the
Erdman act, under which we were
asked to act, expressly excepts
street railroads, we are without
power and have so advised Mayor
Barrett.”
~ Asked as to whether the Geor
gia Roilroad had asked similar ac
tion, it was stated that this mat
‘ter was under consideration and
‘nothing definite will be given out
at this time. It is apparent here
now that the latter proposition is
Eviewed seriously and it is more
‘than likely that the federal autho
rities will take a hand.
Mediation, under the Erdman
act, is by mutual consent or agree
ment of the partiés at difference,
and the announcement was made
by the representatives of the Geor
gia Road strikers yesterday that
they did not care to enter into
mediation agreement, that at this
time they have nothing to submit
to such a board.

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY OCTOBER 4, 1912
Western Union
} Wins Tax Suit
! e
Atlanta, Ga.,Oct. I. A decision
E holding tnat the value of the rights
and privileges of the Western
Union Telegraph Company con
iferred by the federal government
is excmpt from taxation by the
i‘state of Georgia, was rendered
lhere today by Judge W. T. New
'man, of the Urited States court.
| The decree terminates litigation
i in the United States coarts between
‘the compapy and the state of
‘Georgia pending for five years.
!'l‘he state contended the franchise
of the company should be assessed
.at $950,000. The company con
tended that the valuation was ex
!cessive on the basis that part of
the valuation was due to federal
grants.
Suit was filed in the United
States court by the company seek
ing to restrain the state from col
lecting taxes on any part of the
arsessment. After several years of
litigatior counsel for the telegraph
company and state t- x officials re
cently reached an agreement un
der which the value of the taxable
franchise of the company in Geor-;
gia was fixed at $350,000. This
valuation applies for all the years
involved in the suit and exempts‘
the company from any excess val
aation due to federal privileges. 1
Judge Newman held that rights
and privileges conferred upon the
company by the post roads act of
congress were exempt from taxa
tion, but that all other property
owned by the company in Georgia
was taxable.
What will prevent or destroy
the biight on pear trees?’ The
oniy thing that can ke done is to
watch the trees and on the first
appearance of blight cut out ahead
of it into sound wood, Then keep
the trees in grass, and cut the
grass frequently and put 1t under
the trees as a mulch, Trees grow
ing rapidly in cultivated land
bhght far more than trees in grass.
No spraying will have any effect
on it. but the blighted wood
should all be burnt.—W. F. Mas
sey, in The Progressive Farmer.
