In times when the “sweet tooth” of the boll weevil is being tempted by candy sweet poisons, it is well for parents to he doubly careful that such dangerous dainties are carefully kept out of, the sight and reach of the babies and children. Many dis tressing deaths have came from the desire of children to taste sugar coated pills and medicines, and the boll weevil afl'lication is “tragic” enough without adding any chance, however remote, for further tragedy by a slaughter of the innocents. DEATH OF MRS. SALI.IE DENNY (From Jefferson Reporter) Mrs. Sallic Denny passed from 'J&iis life Saturday, May 19th, at the Miome of her daughter, Mrs. H. R. Farmer, in Stellaville, Ga., and was buried in the Ways cemetery on Sunday. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a large number of friends.

On Thursday, the twenty-fourth of May, Mr. I. L. Price, of Swainsboro; Mr. R. V. Harris, of Louisville, and Mr. C. H. Orr, of Washington, ap peared before the directors of the Dixie Highway Association in Chat tanooga, and asked that an addi tional Dixie Highway leading from Greenville, S. C., to Jacksonville, Fla., through Leesvillc, be designat ed- On account or the bad roads near Savannah, Brunswick and Darien on the Dixie Highway, leading from Au gusta to Savannah, Brunswick and Jacksonville, a movement was made at the last annual meeting of the Dixie Highway Association to abol ish the eastern division of the Dixie Highway. At the annual meeting held on last Thursday, Mr. Price, Mr. Harris and Mr. Orr appeared before Ihe association as a committee rep resenting the towns between Green ville, S. C., and Wavcross, Ga., and proposed a route from Greenville, S. C„ to Jacksonville, Fla., leading through Hartwell, Elberton, Wash ington, Thomson,* Wrens, Louisville, Wadley, Swainsboro, Graymount. Metter, Heidsville, Baxley and Way cross, Ga. The committee in making their showing, showed to the direct ors of the association that the route they proposed, leading through the above-named towns, is a ridge route from Greenville, S. to Jackson ville, Fla., and affords passage ev ery day in tlie year. The petition to designate this route as an additional highway was upon motion referred to the execu tive committee from the state of Georgia, composed of the Hon. Clark Howell, the Hon. W. T. Anderson and the Hon. Mr. Twitty, of Bruns wick, Ga., for investigation and re port at the next annual meeting of the Dixie Highway Association. The committee which appeared be fore the association on behalf of this proposed highway, are making plans to perfect an organization of representatives from each of the towns and counties along the pro posed highway. The purpose of this organization will he to work for the designation of this route as an additional Dixie Highway, and for the purpose of incuding the county commissioners along the pro posed highway to complete every possible link of road between Hart well. Ga-, and Waycross, Ga. All of the proposed route is along des ignated state highway routes, with the exception of the road from Wrens to Boneville, Ga., and it will be necessary for the counties of Jefferson and McDuffie to build the stretch of road leading from Wrens to Boneville across Brier Creek. $ • When this route is designated, and when this stretch of road has been completed, hundreds of cars loaded with tourists will pass through Louisville and the other towns in the county, located on the route, daily, during the tourist season. Below is given the application, made by the committee to the Dixie Highway Association: To the Directors of the Dixie High way Association: The application of Greenville and Anderson, S. C., Hartwell, Elberton, Washington, Thomson, Wrens, Louisville, Swainsboro, Graymont, Meter, Keidsvillc, Baxley, Lyons, Alma, Waycross and Folkston, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fla., shows: 1. That the respective cities and towns named desire an additional Dixie Highway leading from Green ville, S. C., to Jacksonville, Fla., along the state highway laid out arid adopted by the states of South Caro lina, Georgia and Florida, leading through the towns and cities mak ing this application. 2. That each of the respective named cities and towns are incor porated. having populations ranging from 100,000 down to 1,000, and are located in the very best section of this country, and have good hotels, telephones, telegraph and railroad connections and tourist camps, ga rages, filling stations, etc. 3. That the said additional Dixie Highway asked for is the most di rect and the shortest course of travel between Greenville, S. C., and Jack sonville, Fla., which will more ef fectively serve the tourist and gen eral travel from northeast Georgia, west South Carolina and North Carolina, East Tennessee, states of Ohio and Kentucky. 4. Petitioners further show that this route crosses only three rivers, the Savannah river at Hartwell, the Altainaha and the St. Mary’s at Folkston. The Savannah is perma nently bridged at Hartwell by Al ford’s Steel Bridge on the Bankhead Highway and the Altamaha may be crossed at Lane’s Bridge, which is a concrete and steel structure near Beidsville. The St. Marj'’s is span ned by a concrete bridge near Folkston. 5. Petitioners further show that the southern half of this route has already been adopted and is be ing used by the so-called permanent highway known as the Woodpecker Route from Augusta to Jacksonville, and that said route has naturally be come the most popular course of travel to Jacksonville through sou thern Georgia. 6. Petitioners further show that the governments of the several mu nicipalities, Kiwanis clubs, auto clubs, and other civic organizations and county authorities have agreed upon and inaugurated this highway and have formulated plans by which it will be made a permanent high way from Greenville to Jacksonville and this route will be properly ad vertised. 7. Petitioners attach hereto as an exhibit a map made by the state highway department of Georgia showing system of state roads lead ing from county seat to county scat, on which the proposed additional Dixie Highway is tiaccd in red ink. LOUISVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1923. mi to son WEST MTSTEIT OF THE IXE MURDERERS Murder of Charley Graffeo Is Latest Result of Series of Axe Assaults, Taking Lives of 19 Persons. Birmingham, Ala., May 29. — Bir mingham police were today seeking to solve the murder of Charley Graffeo, the latest victim of a series of axe assaults which during the past forty-two months has taken the lives of 19 persons, and result ed in injuries to 17 others. Graffeo was found dead at his store in an outlying residential sec tion last night with his skull crush ed by the blow of an axe, and his throat slashed from car to ear. A blood spattered axe stood behind the door. Its handle was shortened so that it could be carried beneath the coat, police believe. The dead man's pockets bad been robbed and the store rifled for val uables, the investigating officers found. The assailant had evidently entered under the pretense of mak ing a purchase, they said. Twenty-eighth Assault The attack upon Graffeo was the twenty-eighth assault during the 42 months period, the first being on tlie nigtli of November 29, 1919. when a merchant was killed and his store robbed. It was the fourth case of its kind this year. Costis Terlikis, a restaurant owner, was attacked and slightly injured at his place of business on January 25th. Two days prior to that Mr- and Mrs. Luigi Yitellaro were victims of a similar assault and both succumbed. On January 10th, Joseph Klein, grain dealer, and his daughter, Ethel, were assaulted, Klein dying. Earlier in the month a man was found unconscious in an alley, ap parently the victim of a blow by an axe. He died the following day at Ihe hospital. Alleged perpetrators have been sent to jail in only three of the long list of cases. Police claim to have solved the other cases, declar ing the wounded victims refused to prosecute or co-operate in obtain ing convictions. Two Classifications Police declare they have divided the axe cases into two classifica tions. In the first instance grocery men and cafe owners have been the victims, in the other group, the in termingling of the races is saidto have been involved. Theories regarding the crimes have covered a large range. While the attacks in some caaes have up parentlv had robbery as the motive, in some the idea has been advanced that they were the result of quar rels between negroes who had stol en property and men who were act ing as fences in disposing of the property. Police also have bad the theory that a number of the cases bear evidence of having been committed by drug addicts in periods of de lirium in order to get more money to buy narcotics. Because of the similarity in the attacks upon the storekeepers, it had been suggested that the crimes were committed by the same person or group of persons. OVERT,O OO LEFT HOMELESS BY FLOOD i Crisis Expected to be Reach ed in Oklahoma City When Two Foot Rise Reported up River Arrives. Oklahoma City, May 29. —With damage from the overflow of the North Canadian River already run ning into hundreds of thousands of dollars, crisis is expected to be reached in Oklahoma City today, when a two foot rise reported up stream yesterday arrives here. Hundreds of houses and stores in the southern bottoms have been washed away or flooded and more than 1,000 persons are homeless. One life is known to have been lost. An unknown hero gave his life in rescue work late last night. The man, about 25 years old. was a volunteer worker in the flooded walnut grove section. He had made repeated rescue trips. Grarbed in a bathing suit he swam out in the swirling waters to a flooded house to make sure all occupants had escaped. He was last seen by a policeman as he was caught in the current and drawn under the w ? alls of the buildings. Unless the flood subsides greatly within the next few days, it will be necessary to use boats to bring provisions to the city from Pack ington, it was said. Five to ten feet of water covers Wheeler Park and it is believed some 6f the zoo animals have per ished. Water stands more than five feet deep in western league base ball park and a portion of the fair grounds is flooded. About one hundred refugees were cared for last night at the city au ditorium. More than 100 girls were housed by the Salvation Army, which is directing the feeding of the flood sufferers. Orders were issued by Mayor Cargill authorizing refugees to occupy any vacant houses in the city. which exhibit is made a part of this petition. 8. Wherefore, petitioners ask that this route herein set out be designat ed as an additional Dixie Highway. EVIDENCE OFFERED BY GOVERNMENT li OIL FRAUD CASES Defense Will Attempt to Prove That Claims in Liter ature Sent By Defendants Were Correct. Fort Worth, Texas, May 29.—The government today began presenta tion of evidence in the fraud cases against “General” Robert A. Lee, H. H. Schwarz and Charles Shcrwin. oil promoters, infcderal court. Earli er in the day counsel for the de fense, in presenting the case to the jury, said he would attempt to prove that the claims set forth in litera Hire sent through ttie mails by the defendants w*ere correct, and that the government’s contentions were not. The defense elaims Lee is a descendant of the famous Confed erate commander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and is a geologist. First Witness. The first witness was Postoffice Inspector John S. Swenson, who in vestigated the Lee interests com panies. He pointed out various cir culars and literature which he said Shcrwin and Schwarz admitted had been sent through the mails in furtherance of selling their stock. The papers included “high-powered" oil circulars and a pamphlet en titled “The honor of the Lees.” This last told of the achievements of the Less, of the days of the revolution and of Gen. Robert E. Lee. culminat ing with a list of the alleged geo logical successes of “General” Rob ert E. Lee. Swenson said the defendant Lee bad told him when he (Swanson) was investigating the matter that there were some statements in the circulars that were not correct. Swenson said Lee told him in November, 1922, that be had nothing to do with the management of the Lee interests companies but merely allowed the use of his name for $12.- 50 per week. On cross-examination. Mr. Swenson testified he saw a con tract between Sherwin. Schwarz and Lee wherein Lee was to receive 10 per cent of the profits on oil made by the company. Heard by Letters. Miss Alice M. Kane of Roxbury, Mass., the next witness, testified that she had first heard of the Lee interests by letters. She invested S2O in the first company, S2OO in the second and SSOO in the third, she testified. Later she sent securities to Gen eral Lee, she said, being induced to do so by two men who called on her, claiming to be his representatives. While she did not state the exact amount Of the securities, she said the valued them at $4,000 at the ex press company, which was a “little more” than they were worth. Miss Kane said she was impress ed with the Lee interests’ proposi tions because she felt that anything controlled by “descendants of such an honorable family” must be all right. She was also impressed with the intertwined American and Con federate flags on the stationary. CONFEDERATE IET" MHS WITH BLUE Captain Carter R. Bishop Is Made An Associate Member of William A. Streeter Post In Massachusetts. Attleboro, Mass., May 29. —A gray cape with scarlet lining appeared among the blue uniforms at the headquarters of William A. Streeter Post, Grand Army of the Republic tonight. The wearer was a veteran of the Confederate army, Captain Carter R. Bishop, of Petersburg, Va., who today with simple ceremony was made an associate member of the post. Tomorrow he will march with the 26 able-bodied members of 32 remaining on the role to Wood lawn Cemetery and will assist in the placing of the Stars and Stripes on each of more than 250 graves of Union soldiers. Some months ago the suggestion was made that this city should make Memorial Day of especial sig nificance this year by inviting a representative of the South to par ticipate iii the Observance- Selection of a resident of Peters burg was decided upon because the siege of that city was conspicuous in the records of the Massachusetts regiments. Captain Bishop was chosen by the local authorities of the Virginia city in conference with representatives of Attleboro. He is a civil engineer whose most recent achievement was the locating of the fort of Captain John Smtih in Vir ginia, a site which historians pre viously had been unable to deter mine definitely. In furtherance of the plan of strengthening the bond between Massachusetts and Virginia the school children of the two ctiies have been encouraged to correspond and more than 6,000 letters have passed since the plan was broached. Each of the children has described in his own way the geography and activities of bis home town and many a friendship has sprung up. Memorial Day here tomorrow will be entirely a day of consecration to the memories of the soldier dead. There will be no baseball game, the golf links will be deserted and the customary races will be omitted. In every street and on almost every building tonight is the Red, White and Blue with here and there inter twined a bit of the Confederate Gray. ENTERS BID FOR THE U. S. SHIPPING BOARD American Ship and Com merce Corporation. New York. May 29 —The American Ship and Commerce Corporation, of which \V. Averell Harriman, son ■f the late Edward H. Harriman, is chairman ot the board of direct ors, has entered a bid to the United States shipping board indicating its willingness to take over the opera tion of the Leviathan and five or six of the largest vessels operated In the United States lines, it was reported tonight. The bid was ten dered to the shipping board yester day, it was said, but it was not in dicated today whether it proposed outright purchase or oj.oration of the ships. In addition to the Leviathan, it was said that the bid included the George Washington, the America. President Buchanan. President Roosevelt and President Harding. P. T. A. NOTES The slogan “Rack to Home’ adopt ed by the P.-T. A. at their recent state convention should be consid ered by all who have the training of children and young people in their charge. Recause of the tend ency of the times we need this call. If we do not watch out and guard our firesides many of the influences that were found in our good old fashioned homes will be lost. We know that woman's highest work will always be found in safeguard ing the home, yet, often we seem to lose sight of this fact. How few children are trained to do a thing because it is a duty. Our teachers tell us that one of the de plorable tendencies of our children is the way they waste money. The school hanks that are now being es tablished are doing much to correct this tendency to spend money. An educator has recently said that promptness and regularity in attending school have more signifi cance than the mark on report card. Another tendency which we should watch is the growing tendency to ward unwholesome amusement. In these things school and home must work together. The responsibility of teacher is great, but the greater in fluence is found in the home life of the children. Bainbridge. the largest association in the Georgia congress, has increas ed its membership from 355 to 545 in the last week. Mrs. Bruce Uarr Jones, our state president, was recently appointed by the national president as a mem ber of resolution committee, the chairman being Mrs. William All man, of Missouri, the second largest branch in the national congress, with between forty and fifty thou sond members. A prc-school circle. including young matrons of town as mem bers, is being organized under the leadership of Mrs. W. W. Abbot. Jr. Their work will include the school library. The next state convention will lie held in Savannah. The tenth district will hold its fall meeting in Augusta at which time the district will lie organized for real P.-T. A. work. The state convention adopted a resolution endorsing the proposed addition of a secretary of education to the cabinet of the President. The organization went on record as favoring drastic restrictions in immigration. Resolutions adopted called for legislation fixing immi gration as 3 per cent of that of 1890. No nationality was excepted. During the summer there will he a P.-T. A. course at Columbia Uni versity, also Tennessee and Georgia Universities offer a similar course. Mercer University offers a course for the training of women in civic leadership, under the auspices of the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs. The P.-T. A. course given at University of Georgia will begin on July the second. Parent-Teachers’ Associations arc encouraging the stay-at-home move ment; keeping boys and girls more in the homes, making the home more attractive and welcoming the young friends there to be enter tained with mothers and fathers present. Real parent-teacher work benefits the child. Whether this work is done in the home, school, church or state depends upon local associations and conditions. POPPY DAY OBSERVED Poppy Day was observed in Louis-1 ville Wednesday, when 200 poppies j were sold by the Junior Red Cross.
