GEORGE BETTS
1 The finest monument that Georgia can erect to the
Biemory of George Betts is the fulfillment of the work to
jhich he gave himself—the making of a prosperous and
regressive state. It is the sort he would have wanted.
3 George Betts had the rare capacity to devote himself
and unselfishly to a cause. It is a quality solely
eeded in the leaders of men today. His farsightedness
nabled his own county of Turner to make an about-face
rom disaster to eventual prosperity and become a veritable
uide for other Southern counties. And as president of the
Georgia Association he moved far along the road toward
ounder farming and banking and better living conditions
i a state that, like many others, sorely needed all these.
He could make men believe. Perhaps this was because
.e had no ax to grind, perhaps because he urged only simple
fundamentals and held out no glittering promises. It was
■lie sum of all these qualities that inspired one editor to
Jay, "‘George Betts is worth more to Georgia than a thou
and politicians.”
His sense of duty would not permit him to spare him
elf. Night and day he drove over rutted roads to carry
vi he message to meetings of farmers and business men. He
£ave himself too prodigally, burning up his vitality and
Neglecting his health till it cost his life.
i< Georgia must carry on his work to the splendid end he
'eought. It must not permit him to be another who died for
,l lost cause.

AFTER THEY DIE.
[Speaking of Abraham Lincoln, one of the leading New
fork newspapers said editorially in its issue of May 19,
860:
“The Republican convention at Chicago has nominated
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois for President of the United
hates —a third-rate Western lawyer, poorer than poor
herce. The conduct of the Republican party in this mat
er is a remarkable indication of a small intellect growing
mailer. They passed over Seward, Chase and Banks, who
ire statesmen and able men, and they take a fourth-rate
ecturer who cannot speak good grammar and who, to raise
he wind, delivers his hackneyed, illiterate compositions at
1200 apiece. Our readers will recollect that this peripatetic
lolitician visited New York two or three months ago on his
•inancial tour, when, in return for the most unmitigated
rash, interlarded with coarse and clumsy jokes, filled his
Umpty pockets with dollars coined out of republican fanati
;ism.”
:i Five days later a leading Philadelphia newspaper said of
Lincoln: “There is not in all the history of his life any ex
nibition of intellectual ability and attainment fitting him for
-he high and responsible post for which he has been nomi
nated. His course language, his illiterate style and his vul
gar and vituperative personality in debate contrast very
jtrongly with the elegance and classical oratory of the emi
nent senator from New York.”
i In wilder moments some of the leading papers and po
etical hai-anguers called Lincoln a “freak,” a “baboon who
had escaped from the morasses of Illinois,” a “vulgar clown”
and a “low-bred village politician.”
! Lincoln when he ran for the presidency, stood about as
much ridicule and unmerited slander as any political candi
date in our history. However, he looms greater and greater
jvith the passing of the years. His greatness, lives on while
"most of the newspapers that vituperated him have died of
iry rot.
Y’ou contrast Lincoln’s standing in history with the
things they said about him when he was alive. There never
was a better illustration that the importance and historical
worth of a man cannot be judged by the generation in which
he lives.
It takes death and the perspective of time to “place” him
properly. Most of the prominent people who rank highly
now will lie gone and forgotten within half a century. And
the ones who survive time's sifting process and emerge
truly great will be, in many cases, individuals who are un
derrated today.
The ultimate position of Woodrow Wilson and Theodore
Roosevelt in history, for instance, will not be known for per
haps fifty vears.—Columbus Ledger.

WHY RAILROADS
ARE JUNKED
Not as a protest, but in order that
the public may better understand
and appreciate its worth, the Wad
ley Southern Railway Company has
posted in its depots and coaches the
following placard in order to show
how much of its gross revenues are
paid out in taxes.
In the Year 1922 for Every Dollar
Taken in The Wadley Southern
Railway Cos.
PAID OUT 12 CENTS FOR TAXES
This Means—
-12 cents for every SI.OO
512.00 for every SIOO 00
$120.00 for every $1,000.00
Suppose your receipts for the year
from all sources amounted to $1 -
000.00; would you protest against
the burden of being assessed $120.00
taxes?
For some time the railroads have
been taking the public into their
confidence, and it is plainly notice
able the general better feeling ot the
public toward the railroads, as well
as the better service that the rail
roads have been striving to perform.
Working along these lines for a con
tinuance of improving conditions the
railroads are openly appealing to the
people to put an end to adverse leg
islation, and to particularly insist
upon the Esch-Cummins Bill, or
Transportation Act of 1920, being
given a full and fair trial as it stands
without amendment or other ham
pering changes.
Chas. Moloney, who is president
of four short lines in Georgia, has
this to say about his Wrightsville
and Tennille Railroad in bringing
this question close home for consid
eration—
“ The Esch-Cummins Bill or Trans
portation Act of 1920, is criticised
in certain quarters and its repeal
demanded because of an alleged
guaranty provision giving to the rail
roads a net income of 5 3-4 per cent
upon tentative valuations. For the
entire pre-war period of its exist
ence, from 1884 to 1917. inclusive, —
34 years,—the Wrightsville and Ten
nille Railroad Company paid to its
stockholders an average dividend of
0 per cent per annum, but not a sin
gle penny has been paid to the stock
holders of the Wrightville and Ten
nille Railroad Company since the
Esch-Cummins Bill, or Transporta
tion Act of 1920, went into effect.
Those who have read and studied
this act fully understand that the
5 3-4 per cent interest must be earn
ed to enjoy it. Provided it is earn
ed by a railroad, it gets it; if it is
not earned, the railroad gets noth
ing, and has to stand all of its loss
es without any help from the gov
ernment.'’
The stock of the Wrightsville and
Tennille Railroad Company is widely
distributed throughout the state of
Georgia, owned by women, men, es
tates, firms, partnerships and trus
teeships. The small net earnings of
last year had to be put back into the
property to help take care of the
losses of the previous year. The
earnings for the first six months
of this year are reported to be sat
isfactory, indicating that the railroad
is again coming back into its right
ful position, and the sooner this is
realized the better it will be for the
section through which it operates.
In the 30 years immediately' pre
ceding the World War the railroad
mileage of the United States quad
rupled, and on the page of every
year’s progress Georgia commanded
position in the front rank, particu
larly in short line railroad construc
tion. Since the World War there
has been a stoppage of railroad con
struction—particularly in Georgia; in
fact, many short line railroads are
being dismantled, tracks taken up,
any everything sold for junk. We
have most recently realized the loss
of the—
Hawkinsville & Florida Southern
Railway
Macon & Birmingham Railway.
And we have not forgotten the
loss of the—
Hawkinsville & Western Railroad.
Georgia, Coast & Piedmont Rail
road.
Valdosta, Moultrie & Western Rail
road.
And now comes the advertised sale
of the Midland Railway. The junk
ing of these short line railroads
hurts the rural districts most and
the hurt is lasting, showing con
clusively at this time that success
for the short line needs insipration,
and not discouragement.
LETTER TO NEWS AND FARMER
Editor News and Farmer.
Louisville. Ga., July 30.—The little
Baptist Church at Middle Ground has
just closed a gloriously spiritually
uplifting series of revival meetings

HAS PASSED THE CRISIS AND IS NOW
ON ROAD TO RECOVERY , PHYSICIAN ,
DR. CHARLES E. SAWYER, DECLARES
“I Don’t Want to Be Too Emphatic About It, Because We
Always Face Complication But I Feel That the Crisis Is
Over and the President Is Well on the Road to Recovery,”
Is Physician’s Statement.
IMPOSSIBLE TO STATE WHEN HE WILL BE
STRONG ENOUGH TO RETURN TO CAPITAL
Mrs. Harding Described as Greatly Cheered, Although
Never, Even When It Was Announced That His Condition
Was Grave and That Pneumonia Had Developed, Has
She Lost Her Cheerful Disposition.
Presidential Headquarters. Palace Hotel, San Francisco,
Cal., .July 31—President Harding has passed the crisis, and
is on the road to recovery, according to a statement made
late today by Dr. Charles E. Sawyer, the president’s personal
physician.
Dr. Sawyer said:
“Since we have our toxin well under control, I feel safe
in saying that we have passed the peak load of trouble. )!
don’t want to be too emphatic about it, because we always
face complications. But I feel that the crisis is over and 1
that the president is well on the road to recovery.”
Dr. Sawyer said it was impossible to state at present
how long it would be before the president would be well and
strong enough to return to Washington.
“I can’t say now when it will be possible to feed him solid
food” he said, “but I do feel that he is now entirely out of
danger; I don’t know it, but I feel it.”
Presidential Headquarters Pallace
San Francisco, July 31.—President
Harding during the day maintained
the ground he had gained since last
night and in general was more com
fortable and resting better at four
p. m., according to an official state
ment issued by physicians at that
hour.
The text of the bulletin follows:
“The president has maintained the
ground gained last night. His tem
perature is 100; pulse 120; respira
tion 44 and regular.
“Nourishment is being taken reg
ularly, and the laboratory findings
indicate elimination is improving, in
general he is more comfortable and
is resting better.

“Barring Complications, President
Harding has reached the peak of the
crisis" Brigadier General Charles E.
Sawyer, the president's physician
said late today after the formal con
sultation of five attending physici
ans. Dr. Sawyer stated that Mrs.
Harding was well, despite the strain.
Presidential Headquarters, San
Francisco. Calif., July 31.—President
Harding is gaining in his fight
against iilness. His personal physi
sian, Brig.-Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, in
an informal statement issued at 9:10
p. m, said his patient was doing well
and had just had the best and most
natural sleep since his illness set
in. General Sawyer’s statement was
given newspaper men who met him
in the corridor as he started out for
a walk, his first moment of recrea
tion since Sunday afternoon when
the president was brought to San
Francisco, now admittedly a very
ill man.
“I am taking my first vacation.”
said the general as he and Mrs. Saw
yer. both smiling, started for the
elevator. The general’s demeanor
was a marked contrast to the serious
expression he wore when he met
newspaper men twelve hours before,
prior to today’s consultation of phy
sicians.
Improvement had been shown in
the president's pulse, temperature
and respiration and also in his elim
inative faculties. The latter, the
general said, was a highly favorable
symptom.
The president's temperature at 9
o’clock was 99 3-5 degrees; pulse 118,
the lowest it has been since he was
taken ill; respiration, 36, a decrease
of four from the last previous re
port.
Cough Dissipated.
The president s cough has been
dissipated, the general said, adding
that this also was a very favorable
indication.
The president, on awakeninig from
his sleep, which lasted for about one
hour, asked for nourishment and
was given a glass of milk.
The president’s diet at present con
sists of two eggnogs a day, fruit
juices to relieve thrist whenever de
sired, a glass of milk every two
hours and for breakfast, toast and
sometimes an egg. The “eggnogs”
the doctor explained, laughingly
were “homeopathic"—eggs shaken up
with milk.
General Sawyer said the president
continued cheerful and listened with
interest to the reading of “every
thing in the papers” even accounts
of his illness. “They read him every
thing ’ he said. “It does not seem to
hurt him. ’
“The president is resigned now to
the abandonment of his California
program the general went on,
“though as I have said before, no
disappointment that could have
come to him could have been grea
ter."
There will he no further confer
ence of physicians attending the
president until tomorrow morning at
9 o’clock, it was announced, and no
formal statement of the executive’s
condition will be issued until 9:30
o'clock tomorrow.
President Heidquarters, Palace
Hotel, San Francisco, Calif., July
31.—“ The president is better."
Those four words tell the story
of a fight made today by Warren
G. Harding in a room on the top
floor of the Palace Hotel where he
lies ill with broncho-pneumonia and
several complications. They first
were spoken early in the day by
Brigadier-General Charles E. Saw
yer, chief of the staff of physicians
attending Mr. Harding, and hour by
hour they were passed along by
word of mouth, by telegraph, by
telephone, by cable and by radio un
til tonight they had reached some
of the furthermost parts of the
world.
General Sawyer spoke the words
at 8 a. m., on coming from the
sickroom where he had spent a con
siderable portion of the night. He
added two or three sentences but
the first statement he made con
tained the news that the nation and
the world wanted to hear. Two
hours later he and the other phy
sicians issued a bulletin more com
prehensive and couched somewhat
in medical language. But from it
the average man and woman got a
single common thought and that
was: “The president is better."
Supports Early Statements.
All other information coming
from the president’s sickroom dur
ing the day appeared to support
the early statement. What tonight
or tomorrow might bring forth, one
physician said, “no living doctor
knows,” for it was recognized that
the tight Mr. Harding must make
did not end today. He is admitted
ly handicapped in his physical re
sistance but he proved today that
he is temperamentally well adapted,
and tonight he had the odds with
him. 5- jSUKtij
The developments of the day
brought a decided change in the
atmosphere of that part of the hotel
occupied by the presidential party.
It was as if a cloud had partly lift
ed, allowing some ray's of the sun
to shine through.
Mrs. Harding was described as
greately cheered although never,
even last night when it was an
nounced by the physicians that
pneumonia had developed and that
Mr. Harding’s condition was grave,
has she lost her cheerful disposi
tion, her hope or her faith. She
remained today as yesterday and
Sunday in the presidential suite, al
ways within call and much of the
time by her husband's bedside. The
three cabinet members here were
likewise greatly heartened. Secre
tary Work, who as a physician has
participated in ail the consulta
tions, said late in the day that there
had been nothing disquieting.
“The president’s condition,"' he
added, “is either favorably progres
sive or stationary, and even the lat
ter is favorably.”
Secretary Hoover, who has been
optimistic throughout although
plainly disturbed last night, said
that information given him had
been very encouraging. Secretary
Wallace likewise was more hopeful.
A fourth member of President
Harding's official family, Attorney-
General Daugherty, was hurrying
here from Seattle and is due to ar
rive tomorrow.
The two cabinet members now in
Washington. Secretary Hughes and
Postmaster-General New, were in
formed by long distance telephone
of the change for the hetter by-
George B. Christian, Jr., secretary
to the president and similar mes
sages were sent to other cabinet
officials, including Secretary Mellon
and Secretary Davis, who are in
Europe.
Messages of hope for the chief
executive’s speedy recovery and of
solicitude over his condition were
more numerous today than they
had been any day since he was
brought here Sunday.
They came from city officials,
governors of states, leaders in
industry, rulers of foreign count
ries and from many unknown be
yond their own communities.
Among them w-as understood to be
one from Woodrow Wilson, who as
president, was also stricken by ill
ness when in the west on a speak
ing trip. None of the messages
was made public as Mrs. Harding
said it would be lacking in con
sideration to make public those
from nationally and internationally
known persons, without giving the
same prominence to those equally
appreciated communications re
ceived from relatively unknown
people.
Future Movements.
Apparently well, founded reports
concerning the future movements
of the presidential party effective
when the president again is able to
travel, were in circulation through
out the day. One of the plans
said to be under consideration was
that the chief executive and Mrs
Harding would go from San Fran
cisco to Catalina Island, near Los
Angeles, where the president could
rest quietly and with every com
fort until strong enough to return
to Washington.

DECLARES RE WILL

Lead Democracy Back Into
White House if Nominated,
Says Alabama Senator.
DISCUSSES DOMESTIC
AND FOREIGN ISSUES
Will Be No Stability in Eu
rope Until Stabilized Gov
ernments Pave Way for
Stabilized Finances.
Montgomery, Ala., July 31.—Sena
tor Oscar W. Underwood, of Alaba
ma, in addressing a joint session of
the Alabama legislature today, de
clared that if the state delegation
at the next democratic national con
vention named him as a candidate
for the nomination for president he
would do all in his power to lead
democracy back in the White House.
Before launching his address Sen
ator Underwood called attention to
the sad news of the illness ot Presi
dent Harding and expressed the
hope of his speedy recovery.
“I came before you today as a
Democrat,” he told the legislators,
and proceeded to a discussion of
the foreign and domestic relations
of the United States.
Not Showing Vital Interest.
The speaker declared that now for
the first time since the days of
Washington the United States was
not showing a vital interest in Eu
ropean affairs.
“Because we did not take our seat
at the head of the international ta
ble in Europe in 1919, a great part
of that continent has been continual
ly torn by war and strife,” the sen
ator said. There will be no stabili
ty in Europe until stabilized govern
ments pave the w>av for stabilized
finances, he declared.
“Sneator Underwood expressed the
hope that the next democratic con
vention will have the courage to
face the international situation with
the firm purpose to pledge the party
if successful in the elections to take
its place in the international family.”
Turning to domestic affairs, Sena
tor Underwood discussed the tariff
question, taking the republican to
task for erectiing a tariff barrier
against Europe at a time “when the
only way in which that continent
could absorb the surplus products
of America was by trade.”
He asserted that America is an ag
ricultural country but that despite
its promises and pledges, the repub
lican tariff has throttled that indus
try to death.
An “over production of bureau
cracy’ is one of the evils confront
ing the country, he declared.
Designated as “Wet.”
Sneator Underwood told his au
dience that he had been designated
by some critics as a “wet” but thai
he objected to a government being
run by nicknames. So far as he
was concerned ,he said, that decision
of the country on the 18th amend
ment, which he had opposed was
final.
“Now that it is a part of our laxv,
I am in favor of its enforcement?
Senator Underwood declared. He
repeated his previous explanations
of his vote on the Volstead law. “The
difficulty confronting us," he said,
“is not more law, but enforcement
of the present laws. ’
Answering the resolution of the
Alabama legislature under which he
addressed that body today, Senator
Underwood said that to be chosen
by the people of his state as a can
didate for the presidency for the
second time was a great honor in
deed and was one he was delighted
to receive. If he becomes candidate
for the democratic nominaton, he
said, it must be as the choice of his
home state, he declared.

pressed the hope that Mr. and Mrs.
Harding would visit his home as
they had originally intended be
fore starting the trip back to
Washington. No definite answer
was made to this invitation, it was
understood, but it was said to have
been taken under consideration for
possible presentation to the presi
dent when he is able to discuss
such affairs.
Meanwhile, the special train was
realeased today after having been
held since Sunday, but could be
quickly prepared tor the trans-con
tinental run if it was decided that
the return trip should be made over
land. The navy transport Hender
son, on which the president made
the voyage to and from Alaska,
also was at the docks here with
out orders. None of its officers
knew whether the vessel would re
main here ready to receive the
president for the voyage to Catalina,
or to Panama and thence to Wash
ington, or whether it would be re
turned to the regular transport ser
vice.
It also was made known that the
official tour of the president and
Mrs Harding ended when they ar
rived here Sunday morning.

900.352 SCHOOL
CHILDREN IN GO.
Figures Shown in Census of
State Just Made Public by
Department of Education
—lncrease is 59,491.
..Atlanta, Ga., July 31.—There are
900,352 children of school age (6
to 18 years of age inclusive in ihe
state of Georgia. These figures, ac
cording to the 1923 census of the
school population, which has just
been made public by the state de
partment of education, show an in
crease of 59,491 ever the school cen
sus of the state taken in 1918.
The census, taken during the
months of March and April, 1923,
in every county of the state, was
approved by the state Board of
Education at its meeting June 21.
The total cost of taking, the census,
the reports sets forth, was $55,308.-
17.
One of the interesting points
brought out in the report is the
fact that ihe increase Of white
children of school age during the
five year period was 52,381, where
as the increase of negro children
was only 7, 110. Of the 900,352 total
in 1923, 524,135 are white and 376,-
217 are colored.
Fulton county leads in the num
ber of school-age youngsters, accord
ing to the report, with a total of
65,775. Of this number, 52,069 are
in Atlanta. Chatam county stands
second with 23,196; Bibb county
third with 19,489, and Bichmond
county fourth with 18,864. All
other counties have less than 15,-
000 each.
A decrease in the percent of il
literacy among school children in
Georgia as a whole is noted in the
report. The total number of illit
erates in 1918 was 25,783. In 1923
this figure had been reduced to 15,-
432. The decrease in number of
white illiterates was 2,556, or a de
crease of 0.62 percent. Negro il
literates. decreased 7,765 in number
during the five year period, or 2,1
per cent.
Decrease in Illiteracy.
One hundred and thirteen counties
reported a decrease in the percent
age of white illiteracy, while 31
counties reported an increase. One
