entitled, An Act to Amend the Act
BILL TO GIVE MORE AID TO
GEORGIA FARMERS DEFEATED
Atlanta, Ga., July 18—In connection
with a bill Introduced by Represent-
tatlve W. A. Wall of Putnam, a discus
sion of the boll weevil took up a good
pert of the time of Monday's session
of the bouse. Mr. Wall’s bill was
for the state to make an appropria
tion of $10,000 to the board of en
tomology for the purpose of Instruct
ing farmers In the use of calcium ar
senate. Numerous members opposed
the MU on the ground that this board
has already an appropriation of $50,000
a year for educating the formers along
different lines including methods of
destroying the boll weevils. Other
members strongly supported the bUl
giving as their reasons that the situa
tion was desperate and that too much
money could not be spent in educat
ing the fanners in their war against
this dangerous pest. In the midst of
the debate the house adjourned and
on a special order the bill went over
until Tuesday. The Atlanta city
charter hill abolishing the various de
partmental boards and putting Into
effect the various other amendments
to the charter voted for by the people

of the rules committee which included
this bill in the special order, contend
ing that the people had no opportuni
ty to vote for the retention of the
boards, and Insisted that thirty min
utes for debate on the bill as provid
ed By the rules committee was not
sufficient. The Idea that thirty min
utes was net sufficient time was ridi
culed by Representative Moore who
declared that if be could not convince
the House In fifteen minutes he could
not convince them in fifteen hours.
By a rote of 106 to 4 the house plac

’ IN MEMORIAM
Death lurks in every flower and as
it passes up and down the stem of
life, it plucks here nnd there the
choicest flowers, yet it is so sad when
one taken away that is just in the
bloom of life, in our weakness we
cannot understand, yet we know He
that doth all things doeth them well.
It was on the 19th, day of June
that Dorothy was takened away, and
we have never experienced a sadder
occasion, for she left four small child
ren which are to young to realize their
loss a devoted young husband, a
father and mother Mr. and Mrs.
Homer Suber. and one sister Mrs. H.
Jones, of Cooiidge, all to whom she
was much devoted and especially her
children.
We would suggest the litly as a
symbol of the purity and nobleness
of this splendid young woman, as she
possessed a kind and friendly dispo
sition and was always jovial, with
everybody she met was always honest
upright in her dealings, with every
body.
But one of the sweetest memories
and one that will always be. cherish
ed by .us is our childhood Hnd girld-
hood days, that we spent together for
as we recall the little mischievous
things we did, all though those child
hood days she always was delighted
to talk of them, and as we grew to
a more mature age those days were
never forgotten and the last times
that were together we would always
have a jolly conversation of the past,
so it was like parting with a dear
sister, to have to park with her.
Dorothy was ill three weeks, before
she died and it was feared from the
first that she would never recover,
but we all did hope so many times
that she would get well again, and a
few times we would g.t a message
that she was thought to be better, and
it would fill our hearts with gladness.
But the Lord knew best, so He took
her home to rest where she will never
know any more suffering and will
have no more troubles, so we will
bow to His will.
She was laid to rest in the Chastain

the jury he had come to his daughter’s
home here last week in response to her
appeals that she was ill from brutal
treatment at the hands of Copeland
The minister upon his arrival found
his daughter in bed uffering from In
juries previously inflicted by her hus
band. He swore out a warrant for
Copeland’s arrest, but it was not
served because of officers’ inability to
find him.
Plans were being made Sunday
morning by the minister to take his
daughter and her four children to his
home when Copeland put in appear
ance. Cepeland promised, the minis
ter said, that he would not protest the
children’s removal if Rico would not
prosecute him and upon this agree
ment left the house.
Later, the minister said, he turned
from his place in an adjoining room
to see the husba'luf at the door of his
wife’s sick room, brandishing a carv
ing knife, and he intercepted him, the
two engaging in a struggle. The rrrin«j
ister seized an ice pick and stabiles
his son-in-law ten times, the latter
rolling into another room before he
died.
It was not known here until yester
day that Rico was a minister. He had
merely said he was a farmer at Alley,
but yesterday there were repeated
telephone rails from members of his
congregation at Alley, all saying they
were ready to come here en masse if
he needed their assistance.
"I was little concerned ia the cor
oner’s jury verdict,” the minister said,
“but I pray that I will be exonerated
by the Higher power and I believe I
will be.”
