KEEP THE “SWEET DEATH” CARE
FULLY AWAY FROM THE
BABIES AND CHILDREN.
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.

qA Greater Touring Car Value
The present price of the Ford
Touring Car is the lowest ever
made.
And yet the car itself is a greater
value. It is better looking with
slanting windshield, a one-man
top ana improved seats. And
there are many refinements in
chassis construction.
The demand is so great that de
liveries will soon be impossible.
To protect yourself, order now.
Make a small down payment, the
balance on easy terms.

Additional Dixie Highway
Through Louisville, Ga.
Extension Proposed From
Greenville, S. C., to Jack
sonville, Fla.
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.

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.
