nameless denizens of crime between
the tides of the two oceans,furnish
the main sinews of war against

‘•Fellow Georgian’s fellow
Americans, the appeal is from the
mothers of the race who demand
a voice in safeguarding a world in
which their childern shall walk

$40,000,000 Thrown away
Atlanta, May 12—Georgia sends
away every year more than
#40,000,000 for meat and meat pro
ducts. This is equal to one-tenth
of the entire world’s annual gold
output. It is equal to one third of
the entire cotton c rop of <icorgia.
This How of money never ebbs.
Our shipments of products to the
Northwest are relatively incon
siderable.
South Georgia has undertaken
the patriotic busk of keeping this
money in Georgia. In response to
the invitation ot the Brooks Coun
ty Industrial (Hub that a South
Georgia wide Animal Industry
Conference be held to study and
stimulate meat production, the
Georgia Chamber of Commeeee has
issued a call to the trade bodies
and mayors urging them to send
delegates, not less than seven from
each town, to this conference on
May 29th.

Watson’s Opinion of
The Great Burns
In the JefTeisoniari of May 7th,
Tom Watson devotes much spat*
to the Phagan murder and gives
his revised opinion of Mr. Burns
thusly:
“I think 1 said that Burns might
trace a lost cow, if she had a bell
on her neck and toted a red-light
lantern on her tail. I now take
that back. I was to hasty. My
revised opinion is, that Burns
couldnt even find a lost cow, unless
she were equipped with a wireless
telegraph outfit, and and regularly
flashed out 8. O. 8. signals, every
time she stopped to drink water. ”
