IRISH PH ME 111
in joint SESsmn
Governor General Healy Out
lines Program Which Had
Been Prepared By Cabinet
of Irish Free State.
Dublin. Dec. 12.—The two houses
of the Irish parliament met today in
joint session at which Governor-
General Healy outlined the legisla
tive program prepared by the cabi
net of the Irish free state. The gov
ernor-general also read a message
he had received from King George.
The legislative program covered
the subject of the elctorial fran
chise reform of the judicial system
regularizing the civil police and the
national army, compensation for
damages an dthe questions of land
purchase, patent laws and copyright.
Special interest attached to the
promise of a bill in pursuance of the
pledge given by Michael Collins
granting amnesty to the members of
the British forces engaged in mili
tary operations prior to the truce.
The king's message after formally
announcing the enactment of the
constitution of th efrec state says:
“It is my earnest hope that by
faithful observance by all sides of
the pact so concluded, peace and
prosperity in Ireland may be se
cured. In the spirit of that settle
ment I have chosen you to he the
first representative of the crown in
the Irish free state.
‘With ail my heart I pray that
the blessing of God may rest upon
'ou and the minis'cis of the Irish
free state in the difficult task com
mitted to your charge.
Governor-General Mealy’s reply to
the message was as follows:
“l have 1 he honor to acknowledge
the gracious message bv which youi
majesty has inaugurated tlie self
governing dominion of the Irish fret
state.
“The terms of the message will
touch all hearts, while the thought
which inspired it must everywhere
evoke the admiration of men of good
will.
“May I, too, humbly join vour ma
jesty in beseeching the Almighty
that the reign of freedom now estab
lished in Ireland will bring early
peace and assured prosperity, as well
as a lasting reconciliation between
the British and Irish nations.”

Eye Sight Conservation
Council of America
Organized
Aided by representation from
President Harding's cabinet, federal
and state officials, univerfity pro
fessors. engineers, industrialists and
civic leaders, tbc eye sight conser
vation council of America, with na
tional headquarters at Kind Street
and Broadway, New York city, has
set in motion a movement for the
observance throughout the country
of eye sight conservation das in the
| schools.
Defective vision among children
and workers in the industries lias,
recent surveys in numerous towns
and cities have revealed, caused
enormous economic and physical
losses, which, authorities declare,
can lie wiped out by proper and
systematic application of the prin
eiples of eye hygiene.
M'itb the co-operai ion, among
other leaders, of James .1. Davis,
secretary of the Tnited States de
partment of labor, Huy A Henry,
general director of the eve-sight
conservation council, is directing
tlie campaign which aims to accom
plish vast savings in health and
money by carrying the message
“First Health Then Wisdom*' to
every city hamlet in Hie land where
children are Ought.
Every school in Georgia will he
asked to join in establishing the
new semi-annual custom of eye
sight conservation day, planned as
a universal and permanent contri
bution to tlie American system of
educational.
Tlie eye-sight conservation conn
cil is enlisting the assistance of
commissioners of education in every
slate, and of superintendents in
every county and sellout district.
Georgia school officials have been
provided with a complete eye-sight
conservation day program. To exe
cute this plan M. 1.. Brittain of
Atlanta. state superintendent of
schools, and county and city super
intendents throughout the state,
will co-operate in the eye-sight con
servation day movement, including
\ ictor Davidson, of Irwinton for
Wilkinson countp; T. .1. Davis, of
Washington county; ,1. F. Lambert.
Sandersville; P. M. Bivins. Baldwin
county; Kyle T. Alfriend, Milledgc
ville; W. D. Cornwell, of Monti
cello, Jasper county; W. C. Wright,
Putnam county; Joseph 1-'. Muhlrow,

county; Paul Pressly, of Louisville,
Jefferson county; O. XL Gresham,
Burke county; Jack Lance, Waynes
boro; E. B. Rogers, of Gibson. Glas
cock county; Lawton B. Evans, of
Augusta and Richmond county.
Secretary of Labor Davis, in a
statement issued by the eye-sight
conservation council, asserts that
care of the eyes is a national duty.
“In my earlier life as a workman
and in the course of rav duties :rs
secretary of labor, I have come to
know something of the problem be
fore the eye-sight conservation coun
cil, particularly in its relation to
men and women in industry,” says
Secretary Davis. “It is a problem
in human service which in its solu
tion will mean much to the whole
service of America in life, economic j
prosperity and happiness. I am con- |
vinced that mankind owes no higher
duty to society and to God than j
service to childhood, and that what
ever wc may be able to do to aid '
the citizens of the future will earn a j
great reward.”
iIN REGARD TO THE FORDNEY-
McCUMBER TARIFF
Following extract is from letter
| written to one of our citizens by
a Louisville man now in business
in another state:
“The tariff is about to ruin our
Cuban trade. Formerly we did over
a million dollars worth of export
trade, and in 1920 we did $2,000,000.
Now that the new tariff is on the
profits are so short for the foreign
counties after duties are deducted
that they are making nothing and
can't buy. Furthermore, they are
taking retaliatory measures and
passing protection laws against
American exporters. YVe compete
directly with England and Holland
and while there can he an exchange
of products between those countries
with a fair margin, we can't make
much when we have to stand a tar
iff, while our English competitor
docs not.
The International Trading Cos., Du
pont and Standard Oil have been
our three lies' regular customers
and we are losing them now because
they have to pay a tariff on our
machinery, where it moves to Chi
na, South America or Cuba while
they don’t have to pay it on En
glish machinery on account of re
ciprocity treaties, trade treaties, etc.
It is a bad proposition and is driv
ing the foreign business away. The
New England shoe manufacturers
arc having the same experience and
a friend of mine just from the East
says that the English now have ex
periment stations all over Brazil and
other parts of South America try
ing to find a locality where cotton
can be raised successfully, thus lib
erating them from the unfairness
that now exists. They come to us
for cotton, manufacture it and then
have to pay a tax to sell it in the
eountry. From the above you can
tell I’m a free-trader and I believe
Harding and those who arc run
ning this government will eventual
ly bankrupt tile country if left in
charge.”
On Thursday afternoon, Decem
ber J4th at 3:30 o’clock the regular
monthly meeting of the I*. 'l'. A. will
be held at the school building. A
short program suggestive of the
Christmas season, followed by a
business session, will occupy the
hour.

LYNCHING MUST STOP
SAY GEORGIA BAPTISTS
Duty of Church to Sound Its
Death Knell —No Excep
tions Recognized.
Atlanta, (ia., Dec. 11 .-—Special.— !
The Georgia Baptist Convention. in
session here this week adopted by
unanimous vote of the most scath
ing denunciations of lynching on
record and culled upon the good cit
izens of the country, as represented
in the churches, to sound its death
knell. Whatever the pretext, said
the ('.on vent inn.. lynching is murder,
barbarous, heathenish and diabolical,
a cancer on society, and a disgrace
to civilization. Mohs it denounces
as to government, society
and the church.
The statement was presented by
Rev. 1.. A. Henderson, Columbus,
(in. as part of tlie social service re
port. and is as follows:
“The perpetuity of free institu
lions is conditioned upon obedience
to law and proper respect for con
stituted authority. The most bar
barous. heatchnish and unchristian
form or lawlessness with which we
have to deal is lynching, or mob
violence. It is a cancer on our hods
politics, and a disgrace to our Chris
tian civilization. How any man can
muster up enough audacity to claim
Christianity and join a mob and
assisit. or even aprpove. the murder
ously taking away of human life, im
matter on what pretense or reason,
is incomprehensible and preposte
rous.
“The Christian church, surely our
own. must sound the death knell to
anarchy in all its forms; but more
especially when a band of men ar
rogate to themselves and thus pro
mod to commit murder. It is dia
bolical. It is hellish. It puts gov
ernment. society, and the church at
the mercy of the hobgoblins of the
underworld. Wc must admit of no
exceptions. There arc none.”
STEWART LEADS IT
a Bf HE VOTE
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 12.—After a
bitter municipal campaign by forces
headed by Murray M. Stewart, pres
ent mayor and .lames M. Rogers and
a hard fought battle at the polls to
day, Savannah tonight is awaiting
the result of the count.
At 1 :30 a. m., with only one box
to hear from Stewart is leading by
one vote.
The missing box is in the fourth
district where ll* E. Wilson, Rogers'
law partner, is a manager. A crowd
of several hundred surrounds the
booth- v .*. v
It is announced by Rogers' sup
porters that if Stewart should re
ceive a majority on the face of the
returns a contest will result.
Special to 'Hie Chronicle.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 12.—1f. as
progress of counting at 1 o'clock in
dicated, Mayor Stewart had won the
municipal election by only a majo
rity of about a hundred votes, as his
leaders declares, the opposition or
ganization backing .1. M. Rogers for
mayor, after conference, declared
that they will vigorously contest the
election. Three women candidates
for aldermanie places, Mrs. S. B. (!.
Morgan, Mrs. Frank 'l'. Mclntyre and
Mrs. .1. S. Howkins, were at a late
hour in the balance of uncertainty.
ENROLLMENT POLICY OF JUNIOR
RED CROSS.
That the parents ofthe children
who have become members of the
Junior Red Cross, which has recent
ly been organized in the school, may
become more familiar with the work
we copy a few paragraphs from an
article in The Red Cross Courier.
“The American Red Cross has
since the war taken the position that
the continuance of the Junior Red
Cross in the schools is justified, on
ly on condition that it not only does
not interfere with, tut possibly pro
motes the work of education for
which the schools arc responsible.
“The idea of a Junior Red Cross
was originaallv conceived by school
people themselves, and largely be
cause of a belief on their part in its
positive educational values. The
Junior Red Cross now goes to the
schools, not with an appeal for funds
hut with an offer of a program of
domestic activities.
No fee for membership in the Ju
nior Red Cross .either on the part
of individual children or of schools,
has been required since the war.
Membership is based on participa
tion in a service program.
All financial contributons for Ju
nior Red Cross purposes are entirely
voluntary. Moreover, not a penny
of any moifevs derived from the
school children of America goes to
the payment of salaries or any other
organization expenses of the Red
Cross.
The Red Cross gives school child
ren opportunity to raise money for
their own enterprises, hut is collects
no money in the schools for its own
purposes.’ *
“The only object which the Junior
Red Cross as a national organiza
tion intends to support here in this
local organization is:
The Junior Red Cross News, one
copy of which at 50c per year is ex
pected to he in each school room
en rolled.
“The chief value of the Junior Red
Cross in the schools lies in the op
portunity afforded for training for
service through service.’’

BO MOTIVE FOUND
FOR TYPIST'S OEM
Theory Advanced That. Kill
ing Was Accidentia! Iti
Struggle For Possession of
Pistol Belonging to Girl.
Richmond, Yn., Doc. 12. \ftor n
full and a.\ of investigation and probing
into the past lives of the two prin
•'•pals, police detectives tonight ad
mitP’d that they failed to establish
motive for the killing of Mrs. Thel
ma Richardson, stenographer, who
was shot, to death late yesterday at
the home of Thomas Pollard, a real
estate and insurance man. or to es
certain the exact manner in which
the young woman was shot.
I wo theories of the killing are be
ing considered by the authorities.
One is that Pollard shot the girl, fol
lowing a quarrel, probably on the
belief that she was about to kill
him. The other theory, and the one
<n which the detectives are inclined
to place more credence is that the
young woman was shot accidentally
during a struggle for possession of
the pistol which is said to have be
longed to her.
In searching today for a motive
for the killing which has been
charged to Pollard, the authorities
turned their attention to .1. Meshy
West, who accompanied Mrs. Rich
ardson to Pollard s home and who is
held as an accessor'. According to
the detectives. West claims that iie
did not know the object of the wo
man’s visit to the Pollard home.
West declared that lie remained in
his automobile in front of the house
while Mrs. Richardson went to the
front door. He said he could not
hear the conversation between the
couple and could not sec which parly
had the gun when the shot rang out.
West's story of his and the wo
man's movements yesterday, as the
detectives told it tonight, was that
he went to Mrs. Richardson’s home
shortly after noon and brought her
to the city in his automobile. He is
credited with having told the police
that he and the woman went to his
office where they ate a light lunch
about 3 o clock, going from there to
the Pollard home.
Preliminary Hearing.
Preliminary hearing of the charge
against Pollard and West were post
poned until Thursday, when the case
were called in police court today.
The postponement was at the re
puest of counsel for the two men.
Coroner Whitfield announced to
day tha*-he'would conduct an inquest
Thursday. The coroner granted per
mission for the removal and burial
of the body of the young woman and
it will be taken to Atlanta tomorrow.
William Pierce Ham, brother of the
slain woman, will accompany the
casket to the Georgia city.
Pending the preliminary hearing
Pollard and West are at liberty on
the bonds they gave last night. Pol
lard's hail is SIO,OOO while West’s
os SSOO.
Mrs. Richardson, who was former
ly Miss Thelma Ham, daughter of
Mrs. Belle Ham ,of Atlanta, came to
Richmond about six years ago. She
was married to Herbert E. Richard
son, Jr., in 1917. Richardson later
entered the army and served until
after the armistice, being discharged
in 1919. When he returned home,
his wife was working in the office
of Thomas Pollard.
The Richardsons separated a few
months later and finally were di
vorced. Pollard was a witness in
the divorce proceedings, it is said.
Mrs. Richardson continued to work
for. Pollard until a few weeks ago.
Since leaving his employ she has
lived in the country about nine miles
from Richmond.

RENEWED ACTIVITY
ON PEACH COUNTY
All Election Returns Being
Checked By Both Sides On
Matter of Peach County |
State Amendment.
Mlanfn, Hr.. Ik—- I lirrr is a rc~ i
newer! act if it.' in thp “Peach Fount.' i
matter. *’ Ml the election returns!
from tiie last general election arc]
being checked joint I.' by both sides |
to the Peach ('.omit' controversy.;
lit ascertain just "T.at counties ami i
just how man.v of the nbulatcd votes j
were improperly or illegal!' handl-i
ed
It will he recalled when Senator
Joe Davidson filed Ins protest
against the decision of some 10 nr
more of the county reports, because
they failed of substantial compli
ance with the elect ion law. a cont ro
vers' arose o'er the making or not
making qf a eerlifieale lo the gov
ernor on which he would or would
not issue the requisite proclama-
I ion.
The anti-Pcaeh Fount.' nttorne.'s
contended e'en if the protest was
well founded, a search of the en
tire list of returns would probably
discover that as man' counties car
ried for Pencil ('.minty were not in
substantial compliance with the
law.
Secretary of Stale S. G. McLendon
issued a certificate showing the
total vote for and against Peach
Founty, as filed in his office, and
in the same document showed what
the 'oto would he if the counties
protested by Senator Davidson were
left opt.
Governor Hardwick sent hack to
Secretary McLendon a request that
he make a tabulation more definite,
that is to show the total of the re
turns made in substantial compli
ance with the laws.
I’nder the provisions, there is no
necessity for any certification at
all, as there would he no necessity
for a proclamation, if the proposi
tion did not carry, on the legal re
turns. If it did carry, the processes
required are not completed until
such a certificatio nis made and pro
clamation issued.
Now representatives of the Perry-
Montezuma crowds and representa
tives of the Fort Valle.' crowd are
jointly making a re-cheek of the
whole lot of returns, and it is learn
ed. there has been reached an un
derstanding between them which
will most likely end in the final
creation of Peach Founty. That
is. after all the returns have been
cheeked over, and ;|I counties which
have not substantially complied with
the law arc excluded, regardless of
how they went in the election, if it
is found there is a majority of the
legally returned' vote in favor of
Peach County that will be certified
to lie governor and he will issue a
proclamation without further oppo
sition from the anti-Peach Founty
contingent.
It is reported here that, behind
this development, there is another
impelling reason. It is said that,
since the vote on the creation of
Peach County, which originally was
declared to have lost, a local office
in Houston County has been made
vacant and three candidates enter
ed the field for that office, one of
them on a straightout “Peach Coun
ty issue.** and one on a straightout
anti-issue. The third candidate was
nelitral. In a short, chart campaign
it was found, when the vote was tak
en that the neutral candidate ran
third, the anti-Peacli County can
didate ran second and the Peach
County advocate, who was the mem
ber of the house who passed the
bill, won the local election by an
almost four to one vote- hollow
ing this election, as the story goes,
the eontingen commontly known as
he “Fort Y’alley crowd,” began east
ing about and measuring their
strength and the story was allowed
to leak out in Houston (.ounty that,
since he old county folks were so
determined that Fort \ alley should
keep Houston County, and not be
allowed to get into anew county,
the Fort Y’alley folks would just do
that very thing, and “go the whole
length” with it; that they would
simply have a local county election
called on the question of moving
the courthouse from Perry to Fort
Yalley; that they could poll votes
enough within their own strength to
carrry such an election. A contest
of that kind would be purely local,
would eliminate the opposition in
Macon County, whom t hey say really
made the state-wide opposition fight
in the general election, and Fort
Yalley could “walk away” in such
a contest, as they claim to have
done in three previous elections
pitched on the identical issue. The
removal of the courthouse, after
the local people have voted for it,
requires ratification in the legisla
ture of a two-thirds vote, but, Fort
Yalley backers figured, they would
have to get that legislative vote any
way in another new county fight, in
addition to going again into a state
wide ratification election.
On the basis of purely a local is
sue wtih no state-wide ejnestoin in
volved, it figured out that Fort Val
ley could stay in Houston County,
get the courthouse removed and
then well, “go the limit.” In the
exercise of the ordinary course of
human nature it would tali out that
very shortly all the count\ officers
would he elected b\ the Fort Val
ley crowd, which would include the
county commissioners and the bal
ance and. two years from now, the
“boot would he on the other foot,”
and Perry would find itself in Ihe
fix of feeling it desirable to get
into anew county of its own.
Anyhow, both sides are now check
ing election figures and it is the
common belief around here that
there is going to he a Peach County
after all.
