Place, saved four young boys who did

to get young Neighbors a Carnegie

heroic act.
According to the story received by
The Banner, the live boys were out
on the lake In a rowboat at the time
of the accident. For some reason the
boat was tilted and all of the boys,
except Neighbors, were thrown out-
Three of the boys, with the assist
ance of Neighbors, managed to reach
shore, but the fourth, Ralph Dawson,
asnk to the bottom.
By this time several hundred per
sons had gathered, all of whom were
more or less excited an<F nothing was
being done to save the sinking Daw
son boy. He had gotje to the bottom
for the third time, when Jameson
Neighbors^ dived Into the water,

Coming up with the boy. there was
a sigh of relief by all; the by standers
and upon their arrival at the shore
Immediate efforts were made to re

time had become overpowered with

Edward O’Farrar, of Athens, wh'o

Atlanta. Ga„ July 15.—The Aral ac
tual test of strength of the disposi
tion of the house of representatives
to follow tbw executive administra
tion's desire for a close practice ot
economy came today on a proposi
tion which involved nothing more
nor less than the straight question
of whether or not the legislature
wants to save the state money, or
prefers to continue expenditures
which are in no sense of the word
necessltlei.
The record roll cell ehowt that, by
a scant difference ot five member*,

that. In view of the strained financial
condition and tha nted for a practice
of economy, the Junket trips which

republican advocates marked the clos
ing of the debate, but were over
shadowed by scenes following tbe roll
call.
Senator McCumbcr. republican,
from North Dakota, champion of the
bill, challenged Reed, democrat, from
Missourt, to settle a question of ve
racity outside, amid shouts of "sit
down” to McCumbcr by Watson, deni:
ocrat, from Georgia.
Senatorial dignity and rules were
lost In the confusion, half a dozen sen
ators were speaking nt once, clamor
ing for recognition by the vice presi
dent and to add to the din a storm
broke over the capltol. pouring tor
rents of rain on the glass roof over
the senate, whl'.e lightning flashes
vied with its lighting system. Sen
ators could be heard only with diffi
culty.
McCumbcr and Reed started to
ward each other when Reed, refer
ring to McCumber's Invitation to go
outside, retorted: “I never saw a
blackguard yet who did not wart to
go outalde to settle." They finally
agreed to delete the remnrks from
the record. Senators Intervened
while Watson shouted “Sit down,
and inveighed against the "cowardice
with which soldiers were treated here
today." The gallery applauded him
Weeks indicated that be will also
confer with Secretary Mellon, who 1*
an expert on waterpower develop
ment. and Secretary Hoover, whe !-■
an expert on Industrial development.
Weeks declined to make any dell
nlte answer to the offer, but said that
what he had tn mind recently, when
he announced he would gladly soil
the nitrate project and dams to a re
sponsible Individual on satisfactory
terms, differed somewhat from the
form ot Ford’s proposal.
He Indicated that the terms might
bo modified in the conforencaa to be

New York, July 16 —Full military
honors marked tbe funeral today of
Private John J. Monson. hero of the
lost battalion, who died in Bellevue
hospital after being taken III while on
leave of absence from his post In the
regular army.
Monson died last Friday and tt was
Ihree days before hla body was Iden
tified. As soon as It became known
that he waa the men who, on Septem
ber 28. 1918, carried the message that
reunited tbe lost battalion In the Ar
gnnne. scores of civic organizations
planned that fitting honors might be
paid him at his funeral. Today a
column fire blocks long marched be
hind the caisson that carried the body
to the Church ot the Ascension, where
a high requiem mass was said, and
thence to Cypress Hills cenp»tery.
where military services were held.
Technically, Monson was absent
without leave at the time ot hta death,
hut military officials declared the
charge waa dropped when It
learned that he was ill In a hospital
at the time he nan supposed to re
turn to duty.
What would you aay If you were to
have a man arrested for disorderly
conduct and when the police Judge
pronounced the sentence, he Imposed
fine on you and released the man
ton had had arrested? Probably It Q n |^g n Pq|. JJging
wouldn't do to put In print Just what
you would say under auch circum
stances.
Well, auch a thing happened In
Athena on Friday. Nell Hawkins had
the police arrest John Smith (color
ed), charging him with disorderly
conduct. When tbe trial came up Fri
day morning Hawkins was fined
*15.75 tor disorderly conduct, plus
drunkenness. Smith was released.
This Is the story, as told by Chief
Beusse.
In addition to tha Nell-Smlth case
there were five more disorderly cases,
tour traffic cases and a short-weight
Ice cate tried, all of which drew the
fine of *10.76. •

It to have wonderful curative quali

This spring has been dlicovered
tor over sixty years, and It is said
that many years ago a large hotel
stood at the springs, at which was
gathered people from ell sections ot

it was a gathering place of the public
men of this section, where tbe poli
tics of the day were discussed. The
water Is free to anyone who wishes
