VOE. XXXII. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, MAY Senator New’s Defeat a Repudiation Of Harding’s Administration NUMBER 44. . Washington, May 17.—The defeat qf United States Senator Harry S. New for renomination by former Senator Albert J. Beveridge in the Indiana Republican primary by a large majority has thrown the other Republican administration candidates for re-election, both senators and representatives into panic. With Copley of Illinois, the multi-millionaire member oj the ways and means committee and veteran reactionary leader and champion of the Harding administration pet, crushed by the weight of 20,000, they are asking who will be the next victim to fall beneath the righteous wrath of an outraged constituency? Senator New’s defeat is the most overwhelming repudiation and power ful rebuke yet administered to the Hardin|g administration and the Do Nothing Congress. Senator New is the close personal friend and adviser of President Harding. He speaks for the administration upon the floor of the senate. Although the President spoke no public word in his behalf, he was his silent ally, and all the leaders of the administration were for him The press of both parties for weeks made it plain that Senator New’s can didacy was to be a test of the Harding administraiton ,and Senator New himself made that the issue in his campaign. Administration organs were claiming his election when all the returns showed Beveridge far in the lead. It is clear that the Beveridge majority is a vote of protest within the party rather than an indorsement of any affirmative principles or policies. A vote for Beveridge was the only way the Hoosier folk could show their dis gust with the present Congress and the only way they could answer the appeal to indorse the reactionary Republican administration, and, there fore, New was defeated and Beveridge won MEETING FOR MEN At Methodist Church On Sunday Afternoon, At 2:30 O’Clock, May 21.

C. Thousands of Innocent Children Dying in The Far East. Make Money Raising Good Cows I know a man 'in (Fleming county, Ky., who on his 80 acre farm for years has kept eight or ten good Jersey cows and a pure bred bull from ,-a heavy milk and butter strain of cattle. From his herd he has sold $1,000 to $1,500 worth of cream a year and has raised heifer calves and hogs upon the skim milk. Each year he sells three or four good milk cows at prices varying from $90 to $150 and sometimes even $200 per head. His farm is known far and wide as a good place to go to buy a good farm cow, and so good are the cows he raises that buyers return when other cows are needed. 1 Not only does he sell good cows, but he, has literally seeded the community 1$' standing his bull for which he gets a service fee of $5. Neighboring farm ers for miles around 1 bring in their good milk cows to be bred. This farm er has placed more good dairy blood through the community than any other farmer I kpow of. Indeed it has been an important factor in getting a neigh borhood cream-shipping business start ed, which amounts to hundreds of cans tijif cream' going out, and th/ousands of dollars coming into the community every month. W. D. NICHOLS. Death just as certainly (as if those thousands of children were lined up -along the avenue and shot down with machine guns. The committee is determined to- save, and will save the children already re ceived into the orphanages and under American protection, though at pres ent the resources are not in sight. There are approximately a hundred thousand of them. These we have in vited to our table, and we will not drive them away to die. But there are at least another hun dred thousand orphaned children who eagerly wait to seize the crumbs that fall from our table. Many of them are now dying in spite of all we can do. In addition to these children there are other hundreds of thousands pf equally innocent and helpless adults— women and girls—driven in midwinter from the plains of Cilicia or destitute upon the war-swept, v famine-stricken plateaus of the Caucasus. These Chris tian refugees in Bible lands now. stand under the sentence -of death by star vation. Will America commute the death sentence for the children? Five dollars a month saves the life of an orphaned child. NEAR EAgT RELIEF, Cleveland H. Dodge, Treasurer, 151 Fifht Avenue, New York City. Senator McKeller Expects Results From Gasoline Price Probe Knoxville, Tenn., May 16—Senator Kenneth McKellar, in Knoxville Tues day, vigorously assailed the recent ad vance in the price of gasoline, and expressed the belief that the investiga tion of the raise which is to be made by the senate canufacturers commit tee under his resolution adopted Sat urday would bring some immediate re sults. “What I want to know is why the price of gasoline goes up as the price of crude oil comes down,” said thes en- ator. “When Pennsylvania crude oil was selling for $4 a barrel, gasoline was 24 1/2 cents a gallon. Now crude oil is $3.25 a barrel and gasoline is 28 to 29 cents a gallon. “If the big oil companies have a valid reason for, the sudden advance in pidce it is all right, but we want to know what that reason is. If they have no valid reason, they should be made to pay the penalty.” Senator McKellar left here for Nash ville. Fayetteville’s New High School Building.

GOT IDEA FOR WATER WHEEL Assinboine Overflows; Great Damage Winnipeg, Man.—The flood of the Assinboine River is, spreading and tre mendous damage is being done to prop erty, according to information from Reaburn, where the inundation was reported at its worst. Roads and ranches were covered with water and the only transportation was by boat. Fifty head of cattle were isolated on an island which was being washed away. Says Columbus Birthplace In Spain Madrid.—An attempt has been made to prove that Christopher Columbus was born in Spain. The subject came up for discussion in the Spanish con gress, when Deputy Iglesias stated that documents and investigations in Pontevedra, Galicia, indicated that the birthplace of the discoverer of Amer ica, was located in Spain. Three Kinds Of Alcohol Protected Washington.—The Senate recently passed a committee amendment put ting 3 cents a pound duty on three different kinds of alcohol—amyl butyl and propyl—after having defeated by a vote of 19 to 40 an amendment placing, the duty at one-quarter of a cent a pound. The amendment was offered by Senator King, democrat, of Utah. World Greatly Indebted to Humble Cow and Man's Quick Percep tion for the Turbine. The huge hydro-electric power de velopment now reaching every part of tiie world owes its origin to n homely incident which took place In California many years ago, in .-which an early day miner and his cow were the chief factors. History and legend relate that on a hot day in the summer of 1860 a typical placer miner of that period toiled on his claim. To supply water for washing the gold-bearing gravel lie had provided a long length of or dinary hose, and as the fall above was considerable the water gushed from the hose with decided force. As the sun sank the cow came to the workings to slake her thirst, and was in danger of upsetting some of the sluices and other devices of the placer miner. So the man turned the hose on the cow. By chance the water blast struck the cow In her cup-llke nostrils, throwing her head back sharply. The man was Lester A. Pelton, out from Ohio on a mining venture, and later world famous as the Inventor of the Pelton - water wheel, the de vice which forms the basis of the great turbines which transform water into electric energy. Pelton said many times that the idea of the invention came to him when he saw the effect of the water blast coming in contact with the cow’s nose. Within an hour lie was rigging up a wagon wheel with empty cans tied to the rim and was able to prove the value of what was later to be his great invention. been a valuable prize to me. It was so bulky, and the leaves were so cov ered by marginal notes in manuscript, that had I been confined 100 years, I need never to have been Idle. I was only ten days deprived of my liberty, but on recovering it, I was saturated with Justinian, and the decisions of the Roman legislators. It was thus I acquired my knowledge of the civil law.” USED TIME TO ADVANTAGE Napoleon Profitably Occupied Hours Which He Was Forced to Spend In Unjust Confinement. When Napoleon I was forming the Code Napoleon, he astonished the council of state by the readiness with which he Illustrated any point in dis cussion by quoting whole passages, ex tempore, from the Roman civil law, a subject entirely foreign to him, as his whole life had been passed In the camp. On being asked by Treilhard how he had acquired so familiar a knowledge of law, Napoleon replied: “When I was a lieutenant, I was once unjustly put under arrest. The small room assigned for my prison con tained no furniture, save an old chair and a cupboard. In the latter was a ponderous volume, which proved to be a digest of the Roman law. As I had neither paper, pens, Ink or pencil, you may easily Imagine this book to have Appropriate, What? The Church at Work, published by the National Council of the Episcopal church, tells of a resourceful native or ganist who was called upon suddenly to furnish the music for a mission wedding ceremony at Hankow, China. The bridegroom had recently become a Christian. Following the custom, he sent a beautiful sedan chair and a brass band to escort the bride to his home, where the ceremony was to be performed. Something delayed the bride, and the Impatient young man hurried down to the mission house, where It was decided to have the wedding on the spot. A meeting was In progress in the church, so it was impossible to have the brass band play. Whereupon one Elsie Li was commandeered to play the wedding march. There was no sheet music on hand, and Elsie was not equal to the task of playing Mendelssohn from memory. She was strong, however, on one good old march tune, and ac cordingly the wedding party were dum- founded and amused a few minutes later when the bride and bridegroom marched blithely forward to the altar to the tune of “Onward Christian Soldiers, Marching as to War.” "Passion Play” Result of a Vow. # The Oberammergau “Passion Play,” a dramatic representation of the suf ferings of Christ, originated from a vow made by the inhabitants of the little Bavarian village in 1633, with the hope of staying a plague then raging. The original text probably was made by the monks of Ettal, but the parish priests have since carefully revised It. The music was composed by Rochus Dedler In 1814. The play Is given by amateurs In a purely rever ential spirit, and not for gain. It re quires a cast of about seven hundred persons. In 1901 an $S0,000 playhouse was erected especially for the pres entation, which Is given every ten years. The first performance was given in 1634. In his speech supporting his resolution for an investigation of the leases of the naval oil reserves to private interests controlled by subsidiaries of the Standard Oil Company, Senator LaFollette (Rep., Wis.), paid a fine tribute to Senator John, B. Kendrick (Dem., Wyo.), for having brought this scandal to light and to former Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan iels for having resisted the efforts of these oil-grabbing corporations during his entire term. He said: “Ever watchful of the public interest, the junior senator from Wyoming, Mr. Kendrick, was the first member of this body to call attention in a pub* lie way to what had been done. The junior senator from Wyoming intro duced a resolution calling the attention of the senate and the country to the leasing of naval reserve No. 3, located in Wyoming, the richest of all the naval reserves. He first informed the public that this lease had been made without open competitive bidding to some favored party. That brought the matter to my attention. “The able senator from Wyoming took the initiative in this matter and • by his resolution focused upon it the attention of the public. For that ac tion he deserves the gratitude of the country. I propose to support and sustain him in the stand he has taken. “The t/dth compels me to say that when Josephus Daniels was secretary of the navy he did not supinely surrender to these oil-grabbing corpora tions. I have read from the testimony of the Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who, during his entire tenure of office, resisted the efforts of the oil monop olists of this country to take within their control the last remnants of the public domain reserved for the use of the navy of the United States.” ELECTRIC POWER An Editorial From the Pen of Perry D. Rich, in the Colquitt (Ga.) Sun. Too Long to Walt. Mr. Oidsmith—Do you refuse me be cause I’m too old? I’m practically certain to live 20 years more. Miss Philippa—Oh, nol You’re not too old. You’re about 20 years too young. It is said that twenty-five years ago Lee Hall, of Baker County, while a mere lad, stood on the banks of the rushing Notchaway Creek and pre dicted that twenty years hence there would be a powerful dam across said creek and that the surrounding coun try would be furnished hydro-electric current by the waters of that creek. Lee’s dream is about to come true. The dam is nearing completion. The wheels are in place and in a , short while the current will be turned on. I I would like to hear his prediction for twenty-five years hence as'to whaf hydro-electric power will be doing in this section of the country. Is it not possible that hydro-electric power will be accessible in every town and on the principal highways of this section? How do they know we will be using automobiles twenty-five years from now? Who knows but that aeroplanes and electric vehicles will supersede Henry’s flivver? I think it is indeed fortunate that these things are being developed by private capital and not by the state and its political subdivisions, because then its failure would be assured. I have no sympathy with the at tempt now being made to create a sentiment in this state in favor of public ownership of such industries. In every city that I know anything about they have made a signal failure with municipal ownership. Here in Colquitte right now we are having to pay more for electricity than any where else by reason of the city own ership of the plant. If this plant was owned by a private corporation I am sure that the rates would not be near ly so heavy as they are now. A private corporation will nearly always have able management. A city will always have political man agement. A : private corporation will operate their business economically and the city management doesn’t care. At any rate the municipalities that have tried owning their own plants have made miserable failures with only a few exceptions and the private corporations generally succeed. If the Baker County Power Com pany was owned by a city, county or state it would never have been built. If it had been built the waste and graft in its construction would have made its cost of construction enor mous. The United States government built Muscle Shoals and look what a mess it is. I say let the private corporations develop these things and then let the people see to it that they trqat the public right. —Advertisement.— GOOD ROADS MEAN BETTER MARKETS Funds Are Raised For Milk Depot Atlanta.—The first definite move to secure sufficient money to put the West Point milk depot, where babies will be furnished milk free, on a sound operating basis, was made when the members of the Girl Scouts of Atlanta took up collections at 56 churches and when pastors of the remaining church es received contributions for this pur pose. Mrs. R. G. McAiley, chairman of the committee appointed by Mayor Key to supervise the raising of funds, announced that the efforts of the Girl Scouts and the ministry were highly successful although the total amount obtained will not be known until soon, when ihe committee will receive re ports from the various churches. Georgians are beginning to realize that one of the surest ways to bring a return of prosperity to this state is to establish the system of good roads laid out by the State Highway Department, which will assure them better market ing facilities for their diversified crops. So long as bad roads make the near est market a day’s journey away, our farmers will be slaves to the one crop With good roads, gooA ttmr-- kets will be brought within a few hours of every farmer and will enable him to produce and market crops that will bring him money all the year round, and free him from the credit system which impoverishes him. Georgia can only hope to quit paying tribute to the north and west when she wakes up, as those sections have done, to the value of good roads and good schools to the rural community. Mil lions of dollars go out of this state each year to purchase food stuffs that can he grown right here in super-abun dance, but our farmers lack the incen tive for producing these crops because marketing conditions in the past have been so poor. Good roads will change all this and keep at home the money we are paying out to enrich the west ern producer of hay, grain, meat prod ucts and canned goods. If the farmer could realize what good roads mean to his welfare, he would enthusiastically support the proposed bond issue for good roads, for by this means he will have his highways built for him by the automobile owners of the country without having to pay out one cent in additional taxes. The bond plan simply takes the income from the automobile license fees and gasoline tax and converts it into a fund to re tire the bonds, thus making it do in ten years what otherwise it would take thirty to accomplish. Thinking citizens all over the state are turning to the bond issue as the means for helping the farmers who have been stricken hy the boll weevil pest back to prosperity, and they are supporting the measure with enthu siasm. Practically every civic organization in the state has endorsed the good roads bond issue. The Farm Bureau Federation president, Hon. J. W. Mor ton, of Athens, is enthusiastically for it, as are the maioritv of the Chambers of Commerce in the state. The inter esting thing about all this enthusiasm for the bonds, however, is the fact that the people who will have to pay for the roads under the plan, the automo bile owners, are the ones most heartily supporting it. They regard it as a measure of economy. They say the les sened wear and tear on their cars and the saving in gasoline consumption will amply compensate them. The farmer is the man who will benefit most from the good roads and they will cost him nothing, for only such an amount of bonds will be issued as can be retired by the automobile license fees and the gasoline tax. More than this amount is prohibited in the constitutional unendment. President Harding To Defer Bonus Washington. — Transmission by President Harding of his views on pending soldier bonus legislation to Republican members of the senate finance committee will await the re turn of the executive from his week end trip to New Jersey, it was said by Senator Watson, of Indiana, one of the Republican committee members, after a conference at the White House.
