FOR TRIAL THIS WEEK
LOCAL LAWYERS AT MILLEN—
MRS. DE LOACH’S CASE HAS
BEEN TO HIGH COURT.
Millen, Ga., April 19.—Among the
cases of interest to come up in City
Court here next week is that of Mrs.
Birdie V. DeLoach versus the Central
of Georgia Railway Co'., in which the
plaintiff asks for $30,000 for the death
of her husband, Joseph DeLoach. At
the time of his death in 1913 DeLoach
was twenty-seven years old and was a
brakeman on the railroad. He was
originally from Glennville, and married
in Savannah. He is survived by his
widow and one child, the child having
been born after his death.
The body of DeLoach was found un
der a car which was backing onto
a switch here, the body having derailed
the car and it was alleged that his death
was caused by the negligence of rail
road employes. m
The jury in the case rendered a ver
dict in favor of the plaintiff for $15,-
3(15 which was the largest amount ev
er rendered against a railway company

in this section of the state. Judge
ThomasL. Hill refused the railroad com -
pany anew trial and the case was taken
en to the court of appeals on the
grounds that the freight train which
killed DeLoach was carrying a car of
salt from Savannah to Hartford, Ala.,
and hence was engaged in interstate
commerce. However, this point was
not mentioned in the trial of the case in
Millen until after Judge Hill had over
ruled the motion made by the defen
dant. The question of federal employes
liability act was involved also. Court
of Appeals of Georgia affirmed the low
er court and the case was taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States and
a few weekvS ago it was decided by the
highest court in the land that the case
would have to be retried in Jenkins
county.
Principal witnesses who testified for
the plaintiff, Mrs. DeLoach, was one
who stated that right after the acci
dent was discovered, the conductor ex
claimed, “My God, I have killed my
flagman.*' Mrs. DeLoach is represented
in the matter by Attorneys Oliver and
Oliver of Savannah and A. S. Ander
son and E. G. Heathers of Millen. The
defendant is represented by Attorneys

MY BEST CROPS FOR FATTENING
HOGS.
Plenty of feed for hogs here in this
section is rather a problem. Corn can
be grown on only limited areas, and
is attended with great risk because of
the chinch bug.
To fatten my hogs 1 usually start
with some good green pasture, such as
rye or rape, in the early spring, with
a little corn which I succeed in growing
on a little patch of branch bottom.
When this is past using, mv Bermuda
pasture furnishes excellent grazing.
Just as soon as corn is in good roast
ing ear I cut and feed this green, hav
ing a succession of planti: ;;s so that
this feeding will cover a longer period.
After the season for corn is gone I us
ually have some cane that I feed along
with the corn. An early patch of pea
nuts furnishes early fall feeding. The
hogs are turned in on these just as soon
as possible. By the time the main field
of peanuts is ready I have
corn in my little bottom patch and tin
hogs fatten readily.
I firmly believe that peanuts will
fatten quicker and more cheaply than
any other crop. I kept 50 head on t\
acres for about two weeks, and they
gained weight of about one and one
half-pounds day.—Hunter B. Ly
on, in The Progressive Farmer.
PROPOSED TAX SYSTEM
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Opposition to the proposed new tax
system is developing throughout the
state, a number of the newspapers hav
ing expressed the sentiment of many in
making the point that Georgia already
has a good tax system and that some of
the requirements outlined in the pro
posed system may react against the
state’s interests.
The clause providing for the taxing
of bank accounts in particular is deem
ed unwise by many who foresee that
such a tax will result in a cutting down
of the bank deposits and send the
money into other channels. Others see
no reason for placing a tax upon the per
centage of merchant’s sales, which is
another provision of the proposed sys
tem.

Atlanta, Ga., April 21.—The Geor
gia State College of Agriculture has
adopted an unusual plan for distribu
ting bulletins to the farmers of the
state. It is sending out metal holders
designed for use as wall-hangers, and
these are to be placed in public places
all over the state. They will lx* kept
full of bulletins on various topics of
interest to farmers, which anyone may
have for the trouble of picking them
up.
TO HELP COUNTRY PREACHERS
Country preachers are to be vastly
benefited as the result of the Baptist
Home Mission Board campaign to raise
one million dollars in the south, accord
ing to announcement just made from
headquarters.
The present plan is to supply permau
ent pastors for all of the country
churches, which now are obliged to have
services only once or twice a month. In
this way the Baptists hope that every
church in the south will have its own
pastor at all times and will be able t*
have services every week.
Georgia is being asked to contribute
SIOO,OOO of the fund. Reports at the
Atlanta headquarters indicate that
members of the Baptists denomination
all over the state will be very liberal
in their response to the appeal for this
import ant m oveme nt.

Leadership.
All great movements, whether for
good or for evil, originate in the mind
of some leader, and so important is this
man that these movements are often
known for thousands of years by his
name. Christianity, Mohammedanism
and the other great religions of the
world bear testimony to this fact. *
All great inventions and enterprises
not only have their origin in the mind
of some leader, but they must be car
ried out under competent leadership.
There is no factor that comes to the
front at so many points as leadership;
for it is not only the man who conceives
the idea of an enterprise that must be
a leader, but so must be all of those
under him who have to direct the ac
tivities of other men. The manager,
the superintendent and the foreman
must all be leaders if they would get
the best results. If we Would stand at
the head of industry we must develop
: such methods of training our leaders as
will enable them to command the con
I fidence and support of the men with
whom they have to deal. This subject
lias been given but little attention in
the past, and in consequence our lead
ers have been largely slectd at ran
dom, with the result that there are in
this country no generally accepted prin
ciples of industrialism along the lines
of which advancement ca.n best be
| made. Not until we have determined the
: principles on which industrial develop
ment must be based, and accepted the
l lines along which our leaders must be
trained, can we expect any harmonious
! development.
