VOL. XXXII FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, JULY 15, 1921 NUMBER 52. SILENT GUNS EFFECTED NT 10 MILES BEING DEVELOPED # * Entirely New Principle Being Used—Projective to Go Five Miles a Second New York.—A silent gun that .will shoot four-ton explosive gas bombs 200 or 300 miles at a velocity of one to five miles a second is in process of development by Miller Reese Hut chinson Hudson Maxim and their asso ciates. The idea is based on a new prin ciple in the explosion of ordinary smokeless gunpowder. In a demonstration Tuesday after noon in an ofice on the fifty-first floor of a New York skyscraper, a steel bullet three inches long and a half inch in diameter was shot through a three-(quarter inch steel plate at a velocity of one mile per second. U& is a materially greater veloc- *a,fc ever before has been develop- in projectiles of any kind. The demonstration was absolutely silent, the only sound being the im pact of the bullet as it bored through the plate. Silencer is New The silencer is on an entirely new principle, and in no way is connected with the old principles of the Maxim silencer. , The original invention is the work of Robert Temple, an English inven tor. Its ultimate application to the hurl ing of huge bombs extraordinary dis tances in actual warfare has been passed on by some of the greatest ballistic experts in America and pro nounced practical. Meanwhile the invention is to be applied to steel construction work. A threaded steel bolt was driven through a three-quarter inch steel plate. The gun was held in immediate contact with the plate, and the charge was measured so that the bolt stopped in the plate. The threads were left in tact and a nut was ^crewed on. It is believed by the inventors that this will be used in place of the present method of drilling holes through steel. The charge was only 2d grains of ordinary smokeless powder. The gun used closely resembled an ordinary air compression drill. Ob servers easily could have imagined that the force was compressed air. There aws no recoil, no smoke prac tically no heat. Only a faint liissin; sound of slowly escaping gases after the discharge. Used Under Water It was announced that the model had been used by divers under water, for application to steel work, and that it operated as well as it does in the air. Sir Edgar Rees Jones, member of Parliament and former chief of the priorities division, British Ministry of Munitions, is associated with the Americans above named in the de velopment of the invention. Dr. Hutchinson formerly was chief engineer to Thomas A. Edison. Among those woh witnessed the demonstration and who are directly in terested in (the further development of the invention were Hudson Maxim, Rar Admiral Samuel McGowan, U. S. Navy, and William M. Williams, form er United States commissioner of in ternal revenue. GOV. HARD WICK NAMES HIS STAFF D. Braxton Blalock, the Managing Editor of the Fayetteville News, And Private Secretary to Governor Hardwick, Made Lieutenant Colonel. HARDWICK HITS FISCAL SYSTEM LONG IN VOGUE JAZZ BATH” IS SENSATION NT OF THE FI Stage Beauties land Sci- one Dance in Water. Bathing Suits Are Forgotten. Paris, France.—The “jazz bath,” in vented at Evian, a fashionable resort on Lake Geneva, is the latest and most refreshing distraction for the society lights whose nerves have been jaded by the expired hective Paris season. According to reports which have set all Paris gossiping, several stage beau ties, accompanied by scions of the younger set, tired of the dancing and wilting under the heat, bribed the or chestra of one hotel to quit the place and go with them to the lake shore, where, “attired” in a manner reminis cent of the Garden of Eden, the party danced to midnight in the water while the orchestra played sad tunes alter- ^nated with lively jazz. Many dowagers, scandalized by the proceeding, threatened to leave the re sort if it were repeated, whereupon the authorities set up signs reading ^'Shifting Sands!

IIINL IN HELL IS THE CRY Of the Moral Denger- ates Who Would Open f Your Town Wide. Cocke County, Tenn., Is the Stamping Ground of Satan, Report. Knoxville, Tenn.—Ten men in the Newport sector of Cocke county recent ly died fr(5m the effects of drinking illicit liquor; lawlessness is rampant as the result of the wholesale manu facture of “moonshine.” Citizens have been terrorized and a ' committee appointed at a mass meet ing in Newport, June 24, to recommend steps to abate the wave of crime has reported its recommendations in a startling resume of conditions. ^hese resolutions point out that il licit liquor traffic has grown to such an extent as to result in lawlessness pnd public demoralization, the lower ing of the standards of decency ini Cocke county; that safety of life and property have been jeopardized, busi- -ness and progress retarded, young men and boys besotted and debauch ed, every other form of vice and crime 1- fostered and stimulated, causing the criminal court dockets to be congest ed, and, in a short time, mips the re port, many men of the Newport sec tion have met violent deaths from this illicit traffic, and how many have been killed by liquor from Cocke cqunty no man can estimate. Private ctiizens have been terrorized into a condition of moral cowardice. Church members have been influenced into~importuning authorities for clem ency to guilty and convicted bootleg gers. Public officials have been dom inated and browbeaten. In view of these facts, the committee sttaes it calls upon law - abiding peo>- pie in every walk of life to join in a movement for the stamping out of the illicit liquor traffic, and it is broad ly stated that if any of the lawbreak ers are so unthoughtful as to resist the enforcement of law by violence* they are warned they will be held to the strictest accountability. SOUND DOCTRINE. Walk out into a busy street—shut your eyes— stand still—what will hap pen? Amublance—dead wagon probably. Same thing happens to a man who stands still in his |business or am bition. Examinations will be held at the court house in Fayetteville, beginning at nine d’elock ^Friday, 'July 29tli| and continuing through the next day. All teachers who are not properly li censed will be expected to take those examinations before any arrangement for teaching in the county shajl bev come final. The' board of education has adopt ed a schedule whereby the salary of a teacher is based on the license, train ing, and experience of the said teach er. It is therefore necessary that the examinations be taken by those whoi have no valid license, and, in addition, that all teachers expecting to teach in the county submit their records in order that the matter of salary may be arranged. The county superintendent will talk the matter over in detail with those who call on him. There will be a meeting of the teach ers who are convenient to Fayetteville at the court house Saturday morning, July 30th, at 10 o’clock. This will be a short meeting, but it is very de sirable that the teachers attend. The necessity for Georgia to “pay as she goes” instead of spending large sums of money on faith of future wealth was expressed by Governor Thomas W. Hardwick in a speech de livered at the regular meeting of the Civitian Club in the Kimball House Friday noon. Governor Hardwick critcizes the policy of former administrations in making big appropriations for schools without considering the limit of ;the State’s income, and appealed to busi ness men to take a hand in State affairs in order that the business of the State may be run on a business basis. “Unless business men like those w-ho are members of this club take an ac tive interest in the State affairs and lend to the State their business ex perience Georgia is liable to meet s conditions within the year.” ed the governor, “and unless ians forget politics for a while and 'co-operate with the business mindK of the State we are doomed to an executive failure.’’ Governor Hardwick, who was the principal speaker at fhe luncheon meeting, was introduced by James B. Nevin, editor of Th6 Georgian. Mr. Nevin cited the importance of the gov ernor’s message to the Legislature and declared it to be the greatest docu ment that has been presented to a Georgia legislative body within 25 years. Mr. Hardwick spoke of the Civitan Club as one of the “upbuilding bodies” of Atlanta, Georgia, and the South. There is nothing more important than good citizenship and friendship, he said. BEWARE OF SALT, PHYSICIAN WARNS New York.—Can you eat a sofbboil- ed egg without salt? Maybe you think you can’t. But you can. Try it! And then take the salt cellar and throw it in the ash can—if you want to heed the advice of Dr. Edward Percy Robinson and get rid of the chief cause of cancer. “Putting salt on your food is dan gerous,” said Doctor Robinson. “It’s not a necessity. It’s a habit—and a bad habit If you want to cure can cer, stop eating salt on your food. If you want to prevent cancer, cut out salt.” Doctor Robinson first fired a broad side against the family salt - shaker in and address before the Illinois State Medical and Surgical society, in Chi cago. In his office on Fifth avenue he amplified his remarks. “Too many people believe that ra-'Jc Value dium is a sure cure for cancer.”. he said; “it isn’t. It has cured cases of external cancer—but it has often de stroyed the surrounding tissues. “You might as well try to cure a sunburn blister on your back by let ting your "back have another dose of the hot sun! ‘Cancer kills 300,000 people a year in this country. “If every physician started right out to prevent the beginnings of cancer and made his patients cut down on salt, we could eradicate the disease in ten years. “It doesn’t sneak up on you in the night. You don’t wake up in the morning and find you've developed cancer. “Cancer isn’t a germ disease. It starts in the disease of a tissue—be cause there is too much salt in the system and not enough potassium. “You hear a lot of bunk about calo ries in the food. What you need is an even balance of acid and alkali. If you don’t get enough of the alkaline foods to counteract or neutralize the acids you’re in trouble.” Doctor Robinson recommends a diet of no meat, no salt and plenty of “rab bit food” for those who have cancer Ex-Governor Dorsey Rejoins His Law Firm Former Governor Hugh M. Dorsey has rejoined his old law firm connec tions under the name of Dorsey, Brew ster, Howell and Heyman, which was founded 21 years ago by Judge R. T. Dorsey, father of the ex-governor.

Brewster, president of the Atlanta Bar Associ ation; Albert Howell, Jr., ex-Governor Dorsey and Arthur Heyman. Associated with the firm are Hugh Howell, Mark Bolding, W. P. Blood- worth and R. G. Stephens. Virtually the entire top floor of the Connally building is used by the firm for of fices. $5,000,000 Placed on the Georgia Peach Crop in 1921. Macon, Ga.—Five Million dollars will be received by central Georgia from this year’s peach crop, it was esti mated in Macon recently. The season will close soon. So far 7,712 cars have been shipped and it is expected when the season closes this number will be increased to 8,250. The average price a crate was $1.25. The crop this year has been the most profitable in many years. or are afraid they’ye getting it. “Rabbit foods” he lists as high in alkali include spinach—by far the best —and rhubarb,-tomatoes, pysnips, let tuce, cauliflower, carrots, beets, cab bage and chard. “Eat the leafy vegetables raw—in a sahul,” he says, “with perhaps a little olive oil or mayonnaise—but no salt. Symptoms showing an unequal mix ture of acid and alkali in the system, are apt to bring on cancer, says Doctor Robinson, include constipation, ane mia, indigestion, insomnia, dropsy and that “tirejd feeling” in the morning. ELECTION NOTICE. Elections will be held in the vari ous districts to fill the vacancies of school trustees, whose terms expire in 1921, on Saturday, July 23rd, be tween the hours of 10 a. m. and 3 p. m.
