, GETS DIPLOMAS
Brilliant Class Presented
Clever Program Last Fri
day Night.
Avery clever program was pre
sented in the school auditorium last
Friday night when the members of
the Seventh Grade received grammar
grade diplomas and graduated into
the High School. No more original
nor versatile program has ever been
given by school children in this sec
tion and the boys and girls of the
graduating class and their attractive
young teacher. Miss Agnes Clark are
to be congratulated.
• The papers and essays read by
the students were whimsical in the
main, written in a rollocking, humor
ous strain but showing decided style.
Tho jingles, jest, will, school calen
dar, and prophesy were spicy and
took well, wtiile the address of wel
come, the history and the farewell
address were delivered with such
poise and dignity, that the audience
showed instant appreciation for the
good delivery and the splendid sub
ject matter and thought.
Senator J. R. Phillips delivered the
diplomas and made a- few’ suitable
words of commendation in which he
explained that a graduation was a
process and not a completed state.
In closing, he expressed the wish
that after ‘life's fitful fever” was
over, the completed state would con
form with the fair beginning.
Several original poems were sung
by the class. The stage setting, with
banks of ferns and flowers, was very
pretty and the young ladies of the
class were beautiful In fresh little
frocks of white. Miss Clarke, who
presided over the program, wore jade
green.
Those graduating were Elizabeth
Tucker, Irene Ratcliff, Mary Clark,
Sara Clark. Verner Clark, Jim Ram
sey, Ren Warren, Sam Revell, Rosa
lie Jones, Sallie Wright, Josephine
Strother, Jennie Estroff. Pauline
Cheatham, Robert Bethea, Susie Tur

Linheng.
Shanghai. May 15.—Foreign diplo

governement meet his demand that
seceral thousand of his followers en

The letter was brought from the
bandit headquarters to Lincheng by
Rev. William Lenfere, an aged priest

LOUISVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1923,
Trial Of Walter Higginbotham,
Former Whipping Boss of Putnam
Lumber Cos., Is Set For Thursday
Tallahassee. Fla., May 15.
Representative J. Clay Smith,
member of the joint legislative,
committee investigating the
death of Martin Tabert of North
Dakota, who bitterly attacked on
the floor of the house of repre
sentatives Walter Higginbotham,
whipping boss indited for the
murder of Tabert, was asked to
day to join counsel for defense
in the trial of the whipping
boss. Higginbotham’s trial is
set for Thursday at Cross City.
The legislator declared he de
clined the offer, hut said he had
under consideration another of
fer to defend Higginbotham in
the federal court when he, J. R.
Jones, former sheriff of Leon
County, and William Fisher, su
perintendent of the Putnam
Lumber Company are placed on
trial on charges of conspiracy
and kidnaping. He also added
that he had been asked by the
prosecution to assist in Hig
ginbotham’s trial and was also
considering that proposal.
Dixie County, one of the in
fant counties in the state, has
no courthouse. It was announc
ed here today the whipping boss
for the Putnam Lumber Com
pany will be tried for the death
of Tabert in the First Baptist
Church in Cross City. It will be
STUDENT OFFICERS
AT BENNINC FIGHT
A MINIATURE WAR
Will Be Fought Mainly on Re
servation and Will Be of
Eight Days Duration, With
Day and Night Attacks.
Fort Benning, Ga., May 15. —Stu-
dent officers at the Fort Benning
infantry school took the field at
dawn this morning to test under
simulated war conditions the “book
of learning” they have absorbed in
weeks of tactical paper battles. The
miniature war will be fought main
ly on the reservation and will be
of eight days duration. Day and
night attacks will be launched upon
objectives as unannounced with ev
ery weapon of the land air service
in action.
The newest theories of national
defense will be demonstrated by
two oposing forces, the blues and
reds, while the student officers un
dergo “examinations” in the field.
Students will command ihe forces,
with other students filling the roles
of non-commissioned officers due to
a preponderance of officers for the
number of. troops in action.
To Direct Maneuver
Colonel W. M. Fassett as chief
umpire, and Major C- M. McMurrav,
executive officer, will direct the en
tire maneuver from a central con
trol point. By means of a detailed
communication system the control
point will be in consatnt touch with
every movement of the troops and
on paper will follow progress of
various conflicts, and troop contacts
along the “front.” The reservation,
which includes 9,700 acres, is heavily
wooded over a large area and of
ficers say, will afford excellent tac
tical movements.
Every unit of the land combat
branches of the army will be rep
resented in the maneuver, each em
ploying weapons appropriate to the
arm. The smoke screens and certain
harmless gases adopted to wind re
lease, will be released. The medical
unit is expected to function as nor
mal during battle with arrangements
for evacuation of “hospital cases’"
by ambulance. The wounded will lie
registered at field hospitals and at
the close of the day’s maneuver will
be reutrned to their respective
units.
Prisoners will be taken to the
rear through the regular channel.
Instructions to the combat person
nel forbid “fraternizing'' by the
troops with the prisoners.
All ammunition, of course, will he
blank and as a further precaution
the troops are ordered to not fire
when opposing lines are within one
hundred yards of each other.
Complete plans for the maneuver
will be announced daily to the com
manders but movements already an
nounced included day and night bat
tles, a retreat and pursuit movement
with a crossing of the Chattahoochee
River by pontoon bridge under fire.
In some respects the mimic war
will resemble certain fronts in
France during the World War when
German and opposing forces, by mu
tual understanding, ceased firing for
stated intervals. The tactical armies
will do battle for four hour periods
in the mornings and at night, with
a critical analysis of the maneuver
to be given by army officers at the
close of the test. One day is sched
uled for rest.
Today the student commanders
were inspecting their forces, while
two or three more days will be re
quired to march to their respective
bivouacs. The major movements will
he enacted the latter days of the
week.

Signs Change of Venue Bill
Governor Hardee today signed
the change of venue bill, a meas
ure providing that the state
may seek a change of venue on
the same basis as that allowed
the defense. The prosecution
Thursday will ask the case be
changed to another county on
the ground that it can not ob
tain a fair trial in Dixie Coun
ty, it was stated.
The tenure of office of the
whipping boss in Florida was
nearing its end today, his fate
being in the hands of the gover
nor. Final passage of a hill to
oust him was effected this
morning when the senate after
wrangling over the subject for
several weeks, refused, 15 to 13,
lo reconsider the vote by which
it had ousted him yesterday. The
hill, originally introduced by
Senator Turnbull, would have
placed the whipping master on
the shelf for two years and
if it was found at the end of
that time that his services
could be dispensed with then
the legislature of 1925 would act
accordingly. The house, however,
struck out the experimental
clause.

Atlanta, May 15.—The trial of the
Crossland-McMichael libel case in
Bibb superior court, where it is set
for the 28th of this month, is not
going to terminate the fight Repre
sentative McMichael has been mak

investigation of that department, ac
cording to a statement made here
today by Mr. McMichJfcl.
There has been some intimation
that a motion will be made by the
prosecution in the case on the 28th
for a postponement of the trial. As
to that Mr. McMichael says he
knows nothing, but asserts he and
his lawyers will he in Macon the

"And,” says Mr. McMichael, “we

going to prove that beyond any
doubt.”
If a motion is made for continu

will consent or will press for an
immediate trial. If the case is post

the indictment returned in Bibb

UNEMPLOYMENT IS
PRACTICALLY ENDED
ALL OYER COUNTRY
Report of Labor Department
Says Increased Demands
For All Classes of Skilled
Labor Is Cause.
PREDICTED SHORTAGE
IS ALREADY A FACT
Shows In Many Sections the
Farming Interests Are Se
verely Hampered By Inabil
ity to Secure Labor.
Washington, May 15. —Increased
demand for all classes of skilled
labor, skilled mechanics and farm
hands have practically put an end
to unemployment in every section
of the country, the department of
labor reported today in an analysis
covering conditions during April.
“The fft edicted shortage of com
potent farm labor/* the report said,
‘‘is now already a fact, and in many
sections of the country the farm
ing interests are being scverly
hampered by the inability to se
cure labor for farm work. In the
south and southwest where hereto
fore there has always been a suffi
cent supply they are experiencing
for the first time a situation which
•is causing alarm as large numbers
of men who have always worked on
the farm have migrated to the large
cities of the country, securing im
mediate employment In the various
industries which are having trouble
to find sufficient labor to meet
their demands.
Impossible to Meet Demands.
“Indicate of the country’s sound
industrial condition is the fact that
a large per centage of the public
employment officers report that
later on it will he impossible to
meet the growing demand for cer
tain class of labor.”
This information, assembled by
the department’s employment ser
vice from 1,428 firms, was supple
mented by other figures concerning
the volume of employment during
April compiled by the bureau of
labor statistics from reports made
by 5,651 representatives establish
ments in 43 manufacturing indus
tries.
The bureau’s summary said the
establishments covered by it had re
ported increases during April over
March of one-half of one per cent
in the number of employes; 1-4 per
cent in the total amount paid in
wages and nine-tenths of one per
cent in the average weekly earn
ings.
As compared with March 19 of the
the 43 industries showed increases
in employment, the greatest being
in the automobile, brick, carriage,
sawmill and petroleum industries.
The greatest decreases were in the
clothing, fertilizer, chemical and ci
gar industries.
Twenty-nine of the reporting in
dustries showed increased payrolls
with brick and carriage leading,
while men and women’s clothing
showed the usual seasonal decline.
The iron and steel industry showed
a slight increase in the number of
employes, but reported a decrease of
2.6 per cent in total earnings for
April.
A combined total of reports from
the 43 industries the bureau of sta
tistics report shows that 85 per cent
of the establishments reporting in
April were on a full-time basis, 13
per cent on a part-time basis and
one per cent were not in operation.
This is a decrease from March of 2
per cent in full-time operation.
Twenty-one of the 43 industries
were working 90 per cent or over on
full time as compared with 26 in
March, 22 in February and 16 in Jan
uary.
A general Increase in rates of
wages is indicated by the fact that
such changes were reported in each
of the 43 industries by a total of
over 800 establishments. The indus
tries leading in this respect were
foundaiics and machine shops, cot
ton goods, brick, furntiure, paper,
sawmills and iron and steel. Alto
gether these reports again indicate
substantial gains, although, owing
largely to seasonal changes, the
gains are not quite so pronounced
as in March.
Labor conditions were given as fol
lows in Georgia and South Carolina:
South Carolina—Practically all
mills operating on a full-time basis
throughout the state with an opti
mistic outlook prevailing, though
fertilizer mills report a decrease in
employment, due, however, to sea
sonal curtailment. Lumber mills re
port a slight decrease in employment
offset, however, by the increased em
ployment noticed in the cotton mills.
A rather large building program is
in course of construction in the lar
ger cities of South Carolina assur
ing employment to most of the
building tradesmen in the various
localities. No shortages or serious
surpluses of labor reported at any
point.
Georgia—lndustry in this state
running at a normal rate and reports
indicate that in some sections it is
being found difficult to secure suf
ficient labor, farm labor in particu
lar. The supply of farm labor as
Ihe demands increase cannot meet
the requests. Large building pro
grams and considerable road work
is taxing the supply of building
tradesmen and certain classes of
common labor.
