THE NEWS AND FARMER
WOMAN IS PRESIDENT
OF R. R. IN FLORIDA
Mrs. Cora B. Williams Head
of the G. F. & A. Line.
Tallahassee, Florida, July 24. —The
Georgia, Florida and Alabama Rail
road, running from Richland, Ga.,
to Carabelle, Fla., on the Gulf of
Mexico, has the distinction of hav
ing for its president one of the few
women to hold such a position in
the United States, Mrs. Cora B-
Williams, of 478 Peachtree Street,
Atlanta, Ga.
Information given in the road’s
petition for the increase brought out
unusual features in connection with
its financial affairs. It was shown
the road had an outstanding bond
ed indebtedness of $2,113 r 000 and un
paid interest charge on that indebt
edness of $1,124,556.91, and also car
ried on its books for premium on
stock of $122,000.
'All the bonds were owned by Mrs.
Williams, according to the applica
tion, and that all of the interest due
on the bonds was due to her. She
also owned the $122,000 premium on
stock. They were secured by a mort
gage held by New York trust com
panies.
This, the application said, “Mrs.
Williams is willing to concel and
surrender up and cancel said bonds
and lose all of the interest due
thereon, and surrender and cancel
her claim to $122,000 premium on
stock in return for the applicant's
(the railroad) issuing to Mrs. Wil
liams common stock of the railroad
company in the amount of the pro
posed increase—the sum of $2,-
235,000.”

the district governor, Hon. Frank M.
Oliver of Savannah, at a brilliant
banquet given in the school audi

Ten long tables artistically deco
rated in the Kiwanian colors of blue
and gold, were arranged to accom
modate the two hundred guests of
the club. Booklets of blue and gold
containing the menu the program
and a list of the officers and mem

HUSBAND ID WIFE
KILL EACH OTHER
Fighting With Stilleto, Axe
and Revolver in Tenement
House, Couple Inflict Fatal
Wounds.
New York, July 24.—Fighting with
stilleto, ax and revolver by the light
of a flickering wick in a glass of
olive oil in an cast side tenement,
Anthony Giodano, 63, and his wife,
Theresa, 61, today inflicted fatal
wounds on each other. Both were
dead when the police found them.
With forty years of happy mar
ried life behind them the aged cou
ple fought for thirty minutes. Two
daughters sleeping in an adjoining
room heard the death battle and
helplessly tried to force an en
trance.
About 3 a. m. the daughters were
awekened by screams. They heard
the sound of breaking furniture and
the passing of epithets. Crying to
their parents the girls tried the
knob of the bedroom door but could
not turn it. Above the din could
be heard the dull thuds of blows
and later shots.
Unable to open the bedroom door
the girls ran out through a rear
door and called the police who
broke into the room.
The woman was on a bed with
her right hand clutching a revolver.
A stilleto rested upon the bed. The
body of the husband lay about five
feet from the bed, the throat cut.
FORCE OF ADVERTISING
The force of advertising is invisi
ble hut you can feel it, and Ernest
G. Hastings, managing editor of the
Dry Goods Economist, tells a story
of a conversation between an ad
vertising man and a merchant that
illustrates the point in interesting
fashion.
"Ever have your hat blown off?”
asked the advertising man.
“Yes,” said the merchant.
“What blew it off?”
“The wind.”
“Did you ever see the wind?”
“No.”
“Well, advertising is like the wind
—an invisible force. You can’t sec
it, but you can and will see the re
sult just as you saw your hat go
rolling down the street.”
BOND ISSUE CARRIED
Greenville, S. C., July 21.—Returns

tend hard-surface highways had been
carried in Greenville County by a
heavy majority. Twenty-five out of
62 boxes gave: for the bond issue,
1,803; against, 311. At most rural

and at some no citizens voted at all.

LOUISVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1923
in or KIWIS OFFICERS
IT BANQUET BY W. L. PHILLIPS
I’m charged with a duty to which
I’m averse,
Kiwanis requests its performance in
verse;
To introduce all of the officers here
The crew is so motley, I do it with
fear.
Our president, mind you, is R. L.
Bethea,
You all know this fellow, now what
can I say?
He’s young and he’s handsome (ad
mits this himself),
But oh, what a rounder; I dare not
tell.
He’s a jolly good fellow, we all must
confess,
And out of the bunch, he’s consid
ered the best.
Now what do you think of Kiwanis.
I pray?
When the cream of the crew is
R. L. Bethea?
Vice-president next, is a badge of
decay,
He’s an oul codger, with his head
turning gray,
Who’s pulled fifty years, in the
traces, before,
Is now a back number, both feeble
and poor.
He's grouchy and cranky, because
he can't shirk,
Simply a figure-head, too clumsy to
work.
He’s never so happy, as when you
say eat,
At the voice of a widow 7, he’s right
on his feet.
Our fine secretary is next on the
list,
Mister A. P. Little, but some call
him Gus,
He’s famous for beauty, as well as
for skill
In writing our letters and sending
light bills.
Our treasurer’s next, who is Frank
Hardeman.
Frank holds to money till its blis
ters his hand,
To judge by his talking, you’d think
we are rich,
If Frank’s not a blower, I’m a son
of a witch.
The last of the bunch is the district
* trustee;
He’s last on the list, but first one
you see;
Whenever a meeting is called in the
town;
He’s the first one you hear and you
can’t hold him down.
John Robert Phillips is the district
trustee;
If you’re hunting windjammers,
count him for three,
He’s apt and proficient, I’ve heal’d
his friends state.
In both telling a lie and eating
beefsteak.
Now this is the bunch I’ve been
asked to present;
I’ve told you their virtues, with this
I’m content,
Their vices are more than virtues,
I’m sure,
But charity’s mantle shall hide these
from view.
Our board of directors, I’d like to
present.
But your time and your patience,
both will prevent.
In calling their names you instant
ly see
How uncanny they’d look in good
poetry.
There’s Sinquefield and Kelly and
Harris, R. V.
There’s Barwick and Whigham and
Polhill, J. B.
That’s six of the bullies I have in
my rhyme,
But still there’s a seventh, whose
cranium shines.
I’m somewhat embarrassed his name
to pronounce,
Since so many ladies have kindly
turned out.
He swears by Kiwanis no woman so
fair,
Shall ever control him in parting
his hair.
It’s Farmer, It. S., I’m talking about,
(I trust the young ladies will not
find it out)
For while he looks old; he’s only
sixteen,
And anxious to marry (It’s funny
how keen.)
Now these are the fellows Kiwanis
has called
To stand in the forefront ami to
strengthen our walls;
It’s the best we could do with the
timber on hand,
But say what you will, it’s an aver
age band.
We crave your assistance and beg
your good will,
And trust in the future, to do bet
ter still;
Let’s all pull together to build up
our town,
And make it the best one of all
towns around.

Members of the Georgia Press As
sociation were entertained last week

where the hospitable hosts showed
tiie visitors every courtesy and
made them feel anew that it is
great to be a Georgian.
The press party arrived in
Tococoa Monday at noon by special
train and were met by hundreds of
automobiles, driven out to Curahee
Mountain, over the surrounding
country and out to Toecoa Falls
and the interesting and unique Toe
coa Falls Institute where they were
the guests of the Kiwanis Club,
Toccoa is the home of Mr. Max
Crawford, who lived in Louisville
for awhile. Mr. ‘Crawford showed
the Louisville party many kind
nesses and inquired of many friends
in Jefferson County.
At Lavonia, the Louisville party
was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Bush

having visited the family of Dr. L.
I). Gale. Mr. Burton was host to the
association, being the editor of the
Lavonia Times, one of the best
weekly papers in the state. The city

ing, carrying its guests by special
Pullman train to Tallulah Falls
where they were the company’s
guests at the Cliff House- The edi
tors were taken to Tugaloo Dam,
and over the powerhouses operated
by the company. Every member of
the party was impressed by the
wonderful transformation wrought
in the country through the presence
of the power company, and by the
expensive equipment, hut more still
by contemplation of the mind and
hand of man that were able to har
ness and control these great forces
and convert them into good for the
people of Georgia. An elaborate ban

added to the pleasure of the trip.

Morrell, Who is Being Held
in New York.
Atlanta, Ga., July 24. —Requisition
papers are being held at the office
of Judge T. E. Patterson, of the
state prison commission, for Wil
liam Morrell, alias W. M. McGar
rity, who is now being held in New
York for Georgia authorities. Mor
rell, who escaped from the Jasper
county chaingang las! March while
serving a sentence of five to seven
years for forgery is said to have
told New York officials he would
kill himself rather than return to
Georgia where he claims he was
the victim of brutal lashings that
left perceptible marks on his body.
Judge Patterson slated today that
a special inspector has been ordered
to investigate the convict’s charges.
He said that Morrell was whipped
twice before his escape.
“Our records show that Morrell
was whipped in Jasper county, Jan.
6, 1923,” Judge Patterson said. “He
was given six licks, for an infrac
tion of rules. He escaped from this
camp in March. While confined on
the Fayette county gang, Morrell
was whipped for disobeying rules
This was his first whipping and he
was given three licks.
‘We moved him from Fayette
county to the state farm at Mil
ledgevillc, where he received no
punishment, according to our rec
ords. 1 do not consider that Mor
rell was treated brutally. We have
ordered a special inspector, however,
to make a full investigation of the
ease.”
