Favorable Report Made on
Bill Introduced By Senator
John R. Phillips, of Eigh
teenth District.
A favorable report on the bill in
troduced in the senate by Senator j
John R. Phillips, of the eighteenth
district, providing safety measures !
fn the publis chools of the state, was j
returned by the senate committee on
education and public schools Tues-1
day afternoon.
Senator Phillip’s bill was intro- j
duced simultaneously in the house:
by Representative Napier, of Bibb,
and placed on its first reading. It
provides that it shall be illegal for
any county school superintendent
school trasurer, or other disbursing
('’officer, to pay out money for the
1 maintenance of any public school
while operating in a building of two
or more stories, not provided with
ample means of escape from fire,
stampede, or frojn other causes.
The bill provides that there must
be easy means of escape from not
less than two opposite sides of a
school building, that all doors shall
open outward, and that additional
stairways must be erected if only
one exists before a school is eligible
to receive state funds, the bill pro
vides.
“No public moneys can be legally
paid out for operation of a public I
school in a house where the stove 1
pipe runs through the side of the
bui’ding, or through a window, or
through the roof without being safe
ly encased in a brick flue,” the bill
further directs.
A bill by Senator Joseph B. Duke,
of the tw'cnty-eighth district provid
ing for the appointment of a com
* missioner to be. composed of three
members of the senate and six tm tu
bers of the house, to investigate the
judiciary system of Georgia with a
view of revising it so as to equalize
the burden upon circuit judges of
superior court, was favorably re
ported by the senate’s judiciary com
mittee No. 2.
Senator Duke, in explaining this
bill, expressed the belief that an
of the judiciary sys-
JP|m would disclose that Georgia has
<4f al need for additional judgeships,
/and that a revision of the system
would result in an even distribu
tion of work an greater efficiency
*,bn the part of the courts. He cited
the systems now employed in other
' states, showing that Georgia is trail
ing in this direction.

THE NEWS AND FARMER
FORM MEDICAL ASS’N.
IN JEFFERSON COUNTY
Dr. J. J. Pilcher Is Named.
President
The Jefferson County Medical As
sociation was organized here on Fri
da vevening June 22, and named Dr.
J. J. Pilcher of Wrens, president
and Dr. W. B. Jordan, of Bartow’,
secretary. This was rather a re
organization than an organization,
the county having had several pre
vious medical associations, but be
cause of many changes and the lack
of active work another organization
was made necessary. It is thought
that practically every doctor in tbe
county will become members of the
present association.
The regular meeting was held last
Friday night in the office of Dr. S.
T. R. Revell.
Dr. S. C. Kitchen read a paper on
“Calitis * with discussion led by Dr.

FINISH THE JOB
For every 200 children enrolled
in the first grade of school there
was only one graduating with Bach
elor’s Degree from all state and
denominational colleges.
For every 200 children enrolled in
the first grade of school there were
only six enrolled in the graduating
class of High School. The above
facts arc distressing; it is high time
for us to give more consideration
to the children who drop out of
school in the lower grades. We have
been neglecting too long our ele
mentary grades. 'lf the majority of
our children are only going to com
plete the grammar grades in school,
we should pay the teachers of these
elementary grades more money and
concentrate our time and money so
as to train as thoroughly as possi
ble our children who are not going
to finish High school.
The reason so many children drop
out of school before they finish high
school is due to the fact that they
were started Off back in the Primary
Grades on a “sandy foundation” and
naturally their superstructure would
not hold when they began to attack
their higher matehematics and oth
er high school studies.
It is time for aur parents to wake
up and see that their children are
given a good start so that they will
be among those present on graduat
ing night. It is getting more diffi
cult each year for a person to earn
a good livelihood unless they have
at least finished their high school
course. It is time that we give more
attention to the “ninety aild nine
lost sheep” who have been sadly
neglected in our elementary schools
through ignorance and lackmf vision
of our leaders in Educational work
throughout the State. It is up to
our parents first and foremost to
see that their children get a square

ADDRESSES CLUB
Judge Hardeman Speaks to
Sandersville Kiwanians.
Judge R. N. Hardeman of Louis
ville was the principal speaker at
a brilliant meeting tlie Sandersville
Kiwanis Club last week. The San-
JUDGE R. X HARDEMAN.
dersville Progress has this to say:
Mr. Minus Goodrich, chairman of
the entertainment committee, intro
duced Judge R. N. Hardeman as the
principal speaker of the evening.
Judge Hardeman entertained his au
dience with reminiscenses of tlie
court room, telling many anecdotes
that kept his hearers in an uproar
of laughter. The judge stated that
he remembered his first visit to
Sandersville, more than forty years
ago, as a barefoot boy, when he ac
companied his father here to hear
a joint debate between General John
R. Gordon and A. (). Bacon, candi
dates for Governor of Georgia. He
stated that he remembered the as
sertion made by Bacon that General
Gordon was running on his war rec
ord, mentioning the fact that the
General invariably displayed the scar
on bis face. General Gordon terse
ly replied by stating that had Bacon
been in the battle where he stood, in
stead of being scarred in the face,
he would have been scared in the
back. Judge Hardeman said this fea
ture of the debate bad stuck in his
mind since that period.
Seriously speaking Judge Harde
man endorsed the good work being
fostered by the Kiwanis Clubs
throughout the country and touched
on the wonderful resources of this
section of Georgia, particularly
grand old Washington county, stat
ing that he preferred to live in com
munities of this kind where the best
citizenry were to be found, people
who respected the law and gave more
time and atention to education, re
ligious and civic activities.

GEORGIA BOY PRAISED
A New York correspondent for
the Macon News has this to say
about Herbert Johnson of Macon.
Dr. H. H. Johnson has many friends
here in Louisville and Herbert John
son has visited here many times.
He is the nephew of Capt. J. H.
Poihill.
Herbert Johnson, son of Dr. and
Mrs. H. H. Johnson, sailed Tuesday
for Savannah and was due to reach
Macon Friday morning. He will
spend a month in Georgia, a few
days in Macon, the remainder at
CedAr Point, on the coast, where
the Johnsons have a Summer home.
Herbert is among Macon’s best
bets in the way of future famous
men. He has been at Columbia as
an instructor for the past four or
five years and next year he will be
a professor at City College. When
he gets his PhD., a year from now,
he will be one of the youngest hold
ers of the degree in the United
States. He would have had the de
gree in June of this year except for
a great misfortune. He was major
ing in biology, which he teaches.
To obtain a degree, it is necessary
that the candidate delve into some
special field hitherto comparative
ly little known and to lay before
the world in the way of a thesis
the results of his research Herbert
had spent several years on one par
ticular subject and was within three
months of the publication of his
thesis when he picked up a profes
sional magazine that contained a
treatise upon the. same subject by
a Japanese zoologist. Instead of
yielding to his better disappoint
ment, Herbert began wor kon an
other line and has published his
preliminary paper on that.
He is regarded about Columbia
and New York as one of the coun
try’s comine,scientists. In his case,
hard work is exemplified at its best,
the background of course being an
inherent love for the study which
he pursues and rare native ability.
You can find him almost any time,
day or night, up until 2 o’clock in
the morning at his laboratory. It’s
true he has a residence, but he uses
it only for sleeping. He even chang
es his clothing in the laboratory
when it becomes necessary for him
to go out.

sounding a note of warning on the
present tendency of pleasure seeking

ter home training. It tis a pity
speeches like this could not be heard

the short time the women had to

The club sold barbecue dinner on the

sum to go for the school library.
Bartow is looking to her splendid

for people to move here. No better

operate in the improvement of school

SPEAKS AT LOUISVILLE
ON “FLORIDA PLAN”
This, week at the Kiwanis Club,
of Louisville, G. FT McWhorter, of
Milledgeville, agricultural agent of
the Central of Georgia Railway, was
the guest of honor and spoke on the
Florida Method of treating the boll
weevil infested cotton. Mr. Mc-
Whorter states that if something
very materially better i* not found
as a remedy for the boll weevil
trouble that in less than five years
this will be the method used over
the cotton belt to fight the weevil.
He was exhibiting some stalks of
cotton gathered fresh from the field
of a Bulloch County farmer who
had treated his entire cotton crop
after the method mentioned. The
result was that he had no weevils
in his field and the indications now
point to a big yield of cotton for
this farmer.
Ml GETS WILD'S BIGGEST
HDITSEKEEPINO JOB; TG BBSS
SERVANTS BIT THE LEITH
Miss Hannah Flynn Under
takes • Immense Task With
Determination to Do it.
New. York—The world’s biggest
housekeeping job hagf just descend
ed upon the shoulaers of a small
determined woman.
She is Mrs. Hannah Flynn, who
has been made chief stewardess of
the Leviathan, world's largest steam
ship. She is the champion house
keeper afloat.
Having trouble with the servants?
Mrs. Flynn will have 28 of them to
keep cheerful, obedient and satis-,
fied with their jobs.
Do things get lost in the laun- j
dry? Mrs. Flynn and her assistants
will have a goodly portion of the .
ship's 300,000 pieces of linen to keep
tab on. And not only that, hut
there will be—
Six and a half miles of blankets
to he looked after, 2,000 dozens of
towels to be distributed, bath mats,
laundry hags and other articles by
the hundred to be given out.
These things represent the care
which will go to the women pas
senger list.
What’s the hardest thing about
the job?
“The passengers,” says Mrs.
Flynn who after 22 years’ experi
ence on the high seas can spot a
land matron from the seasoned sea
going variety, before either of them
has had a chance to hat an eye
lash.
“The new ones are the hardest,”
she explains, “They are so afraid to
show their newness that they take
refuge in being exacting. But it al
i ways comes out.
“I remember two old ladies. A
fog came up and one of them bc
i gan calling excitedly for the fire
! escape.
“‘Never in my life before,’ she
exclaimed, ‘have 1 gone anywhere
without first looking for the .fire
escape. I don’t see how I could
have forgotten it.”
An assistant stewardess to Mrs.
Flynn with many years’ experience
was moved to reflection.
“There was one—an American —
she remarked, thoughtfully, “at 7
she wanted grapefruit, at 7:30 her
early morning coffee, at 8 her
breakfast, at 9 1 helped her dres*.
at 11 she had chicken broth, and
i gave her special order for lunch,
j at 4 she had tea and gave her spe
cial order for dinner; then in the
evening she wanted a hot. water bot
tle in the bed, iced water on the ta
ble and fruit all around the room.”
But no matter how cantankerous
a passenger may be at the beginning
of a voyage, declare both of them,
they’re perfectly lovely by the end
of the trip.
“Knowing how to handle them is
the secret,” says Mrs. Flynn.
“Housekeeping on the high seas
is just the same as on land,” says
the chief stewardess.
She puts it this way. “If you
can take care of a passenger when
she’s ill, take the place of her maid
when the maid’s ill, smoothe the
special silken sheets she’s brought
along in just the fashion she likes
them, brew- her tea right, wash her
special china without chipping the
edges and he cheerful through it
all, there is nothing else to it.”
Mrs. Flynn and one assistant were
the only women aboard the Levia
than on the recent trial trip of five
days when former Chairman Al
Lasker took along several hundred
men as guests.
And she says her job was a snap—
because the men kicked less than
women passengers do.
INTERESTING LETTER TO LOUIS
VILLE MAN TELLS OF FEAR
FUL HAIL STORMS. ALSO
BENEFITS OF DIVERSIFIED
FARMING
Oakley, Kans, July Ist. —J. E Bur
son, Dear Bro. will write you today,
not because I am 57 years old today,
but for more important reasons,
yours of recent date received, all
well with us, except Will who got
bruised up a little with Hail stones
Friday evening. We had one of the
worst hail storms that lasted for
twenty minutes, that was ever known
in this country, Will was caught
in it 1-4 mi. from house with fieam
he had to turn team loose and run
for home, his hands and, arms are
badly swollen. I should judge about
4(1 per cent of the hail was as large
as hen eggs.
The storm was 8 miles wide and
20 miles in length. We are located
about center of it. We had 7 doz.
chickens killed, horses were driven
through fences and cut some. All
windows on North side of buildings
cleaned out, old roofs beat into
kindling, abundant amount of rain
this summer and still raining. Best
prospects for crops for several years.
Intended to commence harvesting in
few days. Our garden and Potatoes
were fine. Had 100 acres corn knee
high, 65 acres barley, 125 wheat.
All good. Not one stalk of it stand
ing now. Very fortunate for us we
carried insurance on wheat and bar
ley, not heavily insured but we will
get SIOOO.OO
We have to give up this place
Sept. Ist. don’t know where we will
go. We had in mind to buy a place
but this hail has thrown a different
picture on the screen now. so we
will have to content ourselves to
rent awhile yet. Improved farms
for rent are not easily found here.

Atlanta. July 10.—One of the es
pecially attractive features of the na

sion here, was the arrival in Atlanta
today of a delegation of five young
ladies of Fort Valley, chaperoned by
Mrs. John Allen, who are to ride in
the big parade as the representatives
of that part of Georgia’s peach belt
and who are to ride in the parade in
a big peach float. The feature of
th<?ir presence in the city and at
the convention, though, is in the fact
that accompanying them was a train
load of peaches from Fort Valley
which the young ladies distributed
at the convention hall as a compli
ment from the Fort Valley section
of the peach belt. The compliment
was, in addition to an illustration of
Southern cordiality and hosptality,
to bring to the attention of the
thousands and thousands of visitors
from states all the nation the pro
duct of the Georgia peach belt—or
as Mrs. Allen and her party of beau
ty explained it, “to show the visitors
two kinds of the real beauty which
grows in Georgia.”

Complete Herd
of Hogs Drunk
Charleston. S. C., July 10-
Federal and state prohibition of
ficers returned the city last
evening, declared that one of the
most pitiable and amusing scenes
that they liar! ever witnessed was
the complete drunkenness of a
herd of swine in the Awendaw
vicinity, about 2 miles from
here when they poured out sexe- 1
ral thousand gallons of mash and
about 250 gallons of moonshine
whiskey.
The officers stated that the
three stills, two of 200-gallon ca
pacity and one of 250 capacity,
were wired off so as to protect
the fermenters against the raid
from the hogs. When the liquid
began to trickle down a ditch the
hogs assembled and proceeded to
celebrate.
It is estimated by the officers
that the three stills by way of
past performance for some time
had been marketing between 800
and 1.000 gallons of corn liquor
in Charleston each week.
It is stated that the hogs who
imbibed too freely represented a
by-product of the stills, they be
ing fed on the refuse and used
mash by the proprietors.
The swine at. first became rath
er boistrous under the influence
of the alcohol, hut most of them
appeared to weaken in their hind
legs and sat down. Others who
imbibed more freely, lolled over
and fell asleep apparently
No arrests were made.
