- FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, JULY 8, 1921. NUMBER 51. * frfji VOL. XXXII FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION AT UNION CITY A GREAT SUCCESS WATSON AND HARDWICK AMONG THEIR FRIENDS. PROTRACTED MEETING At Methodist Church Is Announced to Begin Sunday, July 17th. I Everybody in Union City, of course, took a hand in making the program a success. Mayor Walter Cowart drilled his town marshals and special marshals very thoroughly in direct ing the traffic and assisted in pre paring the barbecue. J. C. Upchurch, one of the famous barbecue cooks of Georgia was in charge of the pits. A greater 'quantity of well cooked meat was probably never served at a sin gle barbecue in Georgia. Everybody ‘ had plenty and did not have to wait to get it. Vast Throng Assembled A vast throng assembled from ad joining counties, from distant parts of Georgia, and from adjoining states, to Barticipate in the general festivi ties and to hear Senator Watson and Governor Hardwick. All roads lead ing to Union City were jammed with traffic as early as daylight. Many of the parties from a distance came the day before and camped in the grove beside the lake. Members of the legislature, state house officers, former ‘ legislators and former gover nors, prominent politicians from all parts of Georgia, were among the guests. Senator Watson’s speech was the first he has delivered in Georgia since going to the senate. Men who have been hearing him for twenty years declared he never made a better speech-. He was. filled with the nat- A, ural enthusiasm of the occasion, wa3 lifted to the pinnacle of eloquence by the admiration ,• of a host of friends, and discussed national ques tions in a manner which showed that he is taking the keenest interest in his work in the senate. He was ra- , diant with, good humor, as happy as a school boy at a picnic, often pausing in the midst of his speech to laugh aloud. Although scheduled to begin speaking at 11 o’clock, he commenced * at 10 to catch the northbound New York-New Orleans limited, which stopped at Union City to take him back to Washington. Senator Watson wore a new pongee silk suit, cream colored, a white vest, a black felt hat, black slippers with capless toes, and detachable cuffs. He had not taken time jto remove the size tags from the suit before put ting it on. After he had spoken ten minutes his detachable cuffs got in his way and he snatched them off and stood them on end on the table in front of him. The blazing July sun bent a beam around the canvass roof of the rostrum and burned liim like an X-ray, so that he was drench ing wet when he finished his speech. Senator Watson prefaced his speech with an elopuent and powerful ap peal for the passage of legislation by the Georgia legislature at this session to provide free text books in the com mon schools. He said he would lose heart and never again put faith in any ^’governor if the legislature adjourned and went home without doing it. Men in the crowd replied with shouted ex pressions of confidence in Governor Hardwick in which the senator con curred whole-heartedly. This was followed by excoriation of the federal reserve board, in Sen ator Watson’s most dramatic style He accused the board of “conducting ,a war upon American business more * ruthless and frightful -and destruc tive than the war of the Germans on land and sea.’’ Using figures pre pared by John Skelton Williams, for mer comptroller of the currency, he accused the reserve board of “de stroying values in the United States amounting to $31,000,000,000, a sum of money equal to the .German war indemnity.’’ His arraignment of the board for depreciating the valaue of United States war bonds was one of .the most consummate pieces of ora tory in the senator’s career. He played upon the emotions of his audi ence like a violinist plays upon the strings. His remedy for conditions, he showed in closing this part of his speech is to make Liberty bonds le gal tender for the payment of all debts, thereby establishing them at par value by law. qn the closing periods Senator Wat son paid a tribute of remarkable elo quence to the spirit of American de mocracy, expressed his deep inter est in pending highway legislation in congress and appealed to Georgians of all factions to forget past differ ences and support his efforts in the senate whenever they believe he is on the right line. substance a repetition of his anaugu ral address delivered on Saturday June 26, on the rostrum erected on the capitol grounds, when he took the oath of office. Most of his speech was devoted to state finances, which he declared to be in the worst muddle since recon struction. He showed that the treas ury will have a defecit of $3,500,000 at the end of the year, and that this must be extinguished. His detailed plans for reorganizing the finances of the state were not presented to the audience, as they are being reserved for the governor’s address to the house and senate on Wednesday. He did indicate, however in a gen eral Way, that he - will propose and insist upon legislation whereby the intangible property of the state shall contribute something more than it contributes now to the maintenance of the government. He showed that intangible property now pays only three per cent of the segregate reve nue of the state, and declared that he will propose legislation to uncover this class of property and compel its return for taxation. He reiterated his pledge of the strictest economy in all departments and institutions of the state, and de dared again, as in his inaugural mes sage, that unless boards of unnec essary commissions 'must be abolish ed. Replying to calls from the audience he paid his respects briefly to Gover nor Dorsey’s' pamphlet on race rela tions. What James B. Nevin of The Georgian Says of Tom Watson and Hardwick. " ’Governor Hardwick’s Speech Governor Hardwick’s speech was in That was a great gathering of plain Georgia folks that greeted Thomas E Watson at Union City on Monday, of course, the crowd greeted others be sides Mr. Watson—the governor was there and was given a royal reception rivaling in its enthusiasm that of the senator—nevertheless it was distinct ly a Watson day and a Watson occa sion. . This was the first publlfc appear ance of Senator Thomas E. Watson before the people of Georgia since he took his seat in the United States Senate. Mr. Watson has .very greatly pleased his friends in the record he has made thu's far and very greatly disappointed his enemies. He went to Washington one of the best known men in the United States—a national figure for many years, but wholly untried in that particular forum. True, he served a term in the House of Representatives a good many years ago, where for a. one-term member he made a remarkable record. But the most of that is somewhat beyond the memory of folks of the present day. Nevertheless, Mr. Watson immediate ly took his place in the Senate as one of the leaders therein. I understand from those who are informed that Senator Watson is on the friendliest of terms with prac tically the entire senatorial member ship. There is not a more scholorly man in the United States Senate, nor one better informed. Th6re are few subjects upon which Senator Watson is not able to talk fully and freely and with authority. He is applying himself to his arduous senatorial duties very seriously and already has made a number of notable and strik ing speeches. His bill to make Lib erty bonds legal tender has attracted a great deal of attention throughout the entire United States—and very much more favorable and approving comment, too, than many, suspected it would. At Union City yesterday Mr. Wat son’s friends were on hand to give him the glad hand—and they cer tainly gave it to him. He must have felt a thrill of honest pride in that momentous and patriotic gathering. The Rome Tribune-Herald makes note of the Act that Governor Hard wick is the first Georgian in the his tory of the commonwealth to hold successively the three positions of congressman, senator and governor. This is true, and in addition thereto he has held a fourth public office— that of membership in the State House of Representatives.

HOT WEATHER POINTERS TO SHIP PERS OF HOGS by by- age, this is, indeed, a most remark able record. Governor Hardwick started in his very early manhood on his political career as a member of the House of Representatives, where he served two terms. He then went to the na tional House of Representatives for six terms, after which he was named senator for a little more. than four years—the unexpired term of Senator Bacon—and now he is serving as gov ernor. do not know of Jany Georgia in history who has crowded as much political service into so short a pe riod of time as has Thomas William Hardwick. Practically all of Governor Hard wick’s life has been devoted to the ippublic service. I remember very well, when he was first selected to Congress, hearing him make a speech in the old ballroom of the Kimball House, and that was the first time I had ever seen him. I wondered ‘what 'boy was butting 'in on the festivities with so much enthusiasm and vim.” I do not recall what the gathering was about; it seems that I was attending it as some sort of delegate from Floyd County. I was informed that the speaker attract ing my particular attention was “a young fellow named Hardwick,” who had just been elected to Congress, de feating William H. Fleming. With all of the service Mr. Hard wick has rendered the people of this State, I really believe he is now enter ing upon the -period of his greatest usefulness. There is a feeling, grow ing day by daya, that Mr. Hardwick is to measure up fully to the require ments of the governorship. He has made a splendid start with the Legis lature, and he has some very con structive plans in view—and is plainly determined to carry them out. We have fallen too much into the habit—especially in the South, where we are supposed to retain some of our old-fashioned nations about State rights, whether de do or no—of rat ing a senatorship above the governor ship. It is a great and wonderful thing to be governor of Georgia. It fur nishes the individual who holds that office in trust a noble and far-reach ing opportunity. It is, indeed, the ireatest honor we can confer upon a citizen—the governorship. Considerable interest seems to have been aroused over the recent an nouncement made by the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., of Akron, Ohio, that now all of its employes are stock holders. Many of our readers have asked for further details,' so in order to get the information from author- itive sources we called on Mr, D. -B. Blalock, of the local Firestone agency. We Vere informed that within twelve hours after announcement by President H. S. Firestone of a new allotment of employes’ stock every employee had become a stockholder, each subscriber i taking at-least two shares, while there was a considerable over subscription. It seems that many Firestone em ployes’ had been stockholders for years, owning shares bought in pre vious similar allotments, but under the last offering every man and woman became a stockholder, the ma jority paying for their stock on a monthly savings system. According to Mr. Blalock, Firestone is now the only' large industrial con cern in the country, employing over 10,000 people, having every employe a part owner in the enterprise. Mr. Firestone is said to have made a short announcement after learning of the remarkable reception accorded this issue ( of employes’ stock in the course of which he pointed out that thrift was the keystone of success and well-being, and that there was no sub stitute for hard work and saving. Let Them Become Rest ed and Cool Before Loading. Atlanta, Ga., July 7.—To prevent losses to hogs in transit during hot weather, the Live Stock Department of the Southern Railway System has issued the following suggestions to shippers: Haul or drive hogs to station in ample time to allow them to become rested and cool before loading. When ordering a car for loading hogs, insist upon a clean one bedded with sand, clay or earth. Wet thoroughly the bedding and in terior or car before loading. HOW TO GET RID Of Worms and Blossom- End Rot of Tomatoes. Tht tomato worm has been rather severe in Georgia this season. This wofm is the same species as the corn ear worm, and often does considerable damage to corn also. For a number of years the Georgia Experiment Station has been conduct ing spray experiments for the control of certain tomato diseases and has been adding different arsenical poi sons in an effort to control the to mato warm which bores into the fruit and destroys such a large percentage of it. One of the difficulties of poisoning this worm is that it bores directing into the fruit and does practically all Give only a small feed of grain he- jt s feeding on the inside of the fruit, fore shipping. Heavy feed means more body heat generated. Load not more than one hour before train is to depart. Load slowly and carefully. Avoid excitment and do not beat or bruise the animals. Load not to exceed 14,000 lbs. fat hogs and 16,000 lbs. stock hogs in a standard 36-ft. car during warm wea ther. Have water applied to the bedding in the car at available points imme diately after the train stops. Use ice on floor of car whenever possible, three blocks to a car. Report inattention or neglect promptly to Superintendent of Divis- ion _on which shipment originates. Never throyv water directly upon hogs after they become heated. Run it on floor of car under hogs instead. OOOOOOOOOOOOOO O IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING O O TO SELL o O OR WANT TO BUY O O ANYTHING O O ADVERTISE O O IN • O O THE NEWS O OOOOOOOOOOOOO Thus it is advisable to us spray mix tures with a high per centage of poison and cover the fruit very thoroughly with the spray so as to increase the chances of the worm get ting a fatal dose as it eats through the skin of the fruit to enter. The following spray (mixture is recem- mended for this purpose: Powdered arsenate of lead 11/2 lbs. Unslacked lime 3 lbs. Resin-fish oil soap 3 lbs. Water 50 gallons. The- firs oil soay in this mixture has been found to make it spread and adhere better to the surface of the fruit. In addition to spraying, it is very important to pick off and destroy the wormy tomaties, especially during the early part of the season so as to reduce the number pf worms in the second brood. The blossom-end rot has also been severe in the State this year. This disease which forms a circular dark colored spot on the blossom-end of the tomato when it is hardly half grown, is not an infectious trouble but is due to dry weather, and can be prevented by keeping the soil well watered.
