HARDWICK BUSY
ON HIS MESSAGE
THINK OF IT!
A native of one of the little European
countries was in Washington one day
recently, and a crowd around a drug
store was quizzing him about the dairy
ing business in his country. Do you
people make any money out of the busi
ness, he was asked. “Well” said he,
laconically, “we have no pasturage to
speak of; we have to house our cattle
nine months of the year, and steam
heat the buildings six; we raise no feed
stuff, but import it from the United
States; we then ship our entire prod
uct back here to you people. Dairying
is our only business, and we are not
asking anybody for anything.” Think
of it! And Georgia, the finest
dairying country the sun ever shone
on, where all the feeds can be grown
cheaper than 'anywhere else in the
world, where cattle can live the year
’round in her pastures where they do
not have to be housed summer or win
ter, and Georgians doubtless eating
butter and cheese fi;om this little coun
try in question. Comment is unneces
sary—Ex.
For the first time since his inaug
uration as chief executive of Geor
gia, Governor Hardwick kept the doors
to his private office closed throughout
Monday and Tuesday, while he busied
himself on the preparation of his mes
sage to the General Assembly, which
will convene Wednesday, June 28.
Governor Hardwick has been called
upon to deliver so many commence
ment and other addresses over the
state that he was delayed in starting
his message and found it necessary to
decline all invitations and to forego
all engagements for the first part of
this week. He also has asked visitors
to postpone their calls.
Monday and Tuesday the Governor
conferred with the various heads of
departments at the Capitol, in order
that he might find out from them what
recommendations they had to suggest
concerning their branches of the state
government.
It is understood that Fred Telford,
representing Griffenhagen and asso
ciates, Chicago efficiency engineers,
will complete his repoj^ this week and
submit it to the Governor. This re
port will cover investigations of the
various commission.s, boards and bu
reaus maintained by the state and the
Department of Agriculture. Recom
mendations based on the report will be
incorporated in the Governor’s mes
sage.
Mr. Telford has been investigating
office locations and waste spaces in
the Capitol, and is said to have worked
out a system whereby the present of
ficials housed in the Capitol will have
plenty of room, and the Departments
of Health, Military Affairs, and others
now in rented quarters, may be brought
back to the parental roof.
Governor Hardwick has given no
intimation as to the contents of his
message, but it is known that,he is
spending much time on consideration
of the state’s fiscal system. He is
expected to recommend important
changes in this, as well as strict econ
omy in administration and the elimina
tion of all extra appropriations.
THE BOLL WEEVIL
PROBLEM.
The boll weevil has great interest for
Georgia, and the latest information has
been compiled by the Department of
Agriculture in Bulletin No. 1262 on
“The Boll-Weevil Problem.” I believe
there is much information in that bul
letin which should be in the hands of
every Georgia cotton grower, and I
will be glad to send a copy of that
bulletin to any one requesting it.
Let me know when I can serve you,
and with best wishes, I am
Very sincerely yours,
WM. J. HARRIS.

phobia.
Brooks, Ga.. June 14.—A small Collie
dog belonging to J. W. Lunceford,
was a regular pet, went made last
Friday and bit twenty different per
sons before it died. Among those bit
were Mrs. J. W. Lunceford and four
children, J. B. Lunceford, four children
of J. E. Lifsey, two children of Tom
Ogletree and Sallie Mattie Pollard. J.
Paul Jones was bit four times by the
dog, which died at his house. J. H.
Jones and«H. F. Brooks carried the
dog’s head to Atlanta Saturday and
had it examined and it was announced
that the animal had hydrophobia. All
of the parties bitten arq taking regular
treatment.
The regular state examination for
teachers will take place on Friday and
Saturday, August 4 and 5, 1922. All
teachers who* had not a professional li
cense issued ibyf the state superintend
ent of schools and who have not a li
cense issued and renewed in this coun
ty should prepare to take either the
examination or the renewal reading
course, if they expect to teach in this
'county. Special examinations, given
later than the date set for the regular
examinations, do not have the same
value as those given at the appoint
ed time, and salaries on the schedule
are arranged accordingly.
The reading course for those who
desire to renew their certificates is
as follows:
Primary and General Elementary
1. Manual for Georgia Teachers.
2. Kendall Jand Myrick’s How to
Teach the Fundamental Subjects.
Southern School Book Depository, 121
Auburn Avenue, Atlanta, Ga., $1.80.
3. Dresslar’s School Hygiene, South
ern School Book Dep., $1.20.
High School and Supervisory
1. Manual for Georgia Teachers.
2. Rapeer’s Consolidated Rural
Schools, Southern School Book Depos
itory, 121 Auburn Avenue, Atlanta, Ga.,
$1.75.
3. Parker’s Methods of Teaching
in High Schools, Ginn & Co., Com
merce Hall, Atlanta, Ga., $1.80.
A six weeks’ course at any of the
standard summer schools will auto
matically renew professional or first
grade certificates, provided the teach
er sjiows her certificate from the sum
mer school authorities that she has
completed her courses in education.
This, of course, means that the renewal
is possible if the certificate has not
been allowed to become out of date,
through failure in the past to renew at
the proper time.
It is hoped that all teachers who
avail themselves of these examinations.
Special examinations will probably not
be given tq those teachers who have
from year to year failed to Dike the
regular examinations.
MEN REITERATE ATTITUDE
Claim Wage Cut Deprives Some Work
ers Of Living Wage And Strike
Is Only Recourse
Cincinnati, O.—Formal notice was
served on the railroad labor board by
the chiefs of ten railroad unions of
their intentions to go through with a
strike in event one is authorized by
the 1,225,000 workers whose wages are
to be reduced on July 1 on orders of
the board.
Coupled apparently with the action
of the rail unions leaders with a state
ment that the "railroad workers have
no alternative except to fight,” made
by John L. Lewis, leader of the strik
ing coal miners, who will meet with
the rail union leaders to consider joint
strike action. He also pledged the
miners aid to the rail men, but de
clined to state definitely what might
result from joint action.
The notice sent to the railroad la
bor board, in the form of a letter, re
iterated the rail union leaders atti
tude on the threatened walkout,
which was first definitely asserted in
their statement. The previous state
ment also included the declaration
that an overwhelming vote was being
cast for the walkout. The letter
said:
"When there occurs a miscarriage
of justice of such colossal and perma'
nent injury to railway labor as your
decisions will bring about, the only
means of remedy which the injured
parties have is to refuse to accept
your decisions. This procedure is per
fectly legal. While it should only be
used as a last result, one member
ship may decide It to be fully justi
fied by your denial of elementary and
long established rights and by the se
riousness of the situation which you
have created. Your decisions have
been submitted to a strike vote of our
members and we are awaiting the re
sults of their action. Should our
members decide not to accept your de
cision, or in other words to strike, we
shall sanction their action and advice
you accordingly.”
The letter said the rail union chiefs
had done everything to avert a strike,
pointed out that no appeal was possi
ble from the boards decisr ns, and re
stated that the unions’ contention was
that the transportation law required
a living wage for employes at the bot
tom of the scale of occupations, with
higher rates for other workmen, ac
cording to their skill, hazard of em
ployment, responsibility, training and
experience.
Mr. Lewis, the miners’ chief, while
asserting unwillingness to discuss the
outcome of the coming conferencq
with the rail men, said the miners
“will do anything that is helpful and
constructive for the railroad men and
for the miners themselves.”
“I am convinced,” declared Mr.
Lewis, “that the railroad men and the
rank and file of the railroad organiza
tion frankly recognize the necessity of
making a fight regardless of the con
sequences. And in that fight they will
have the whole-souled and active co
operation of the mine workers. The
nature of that co-operation depends
upon circumstances, but the help of
the mine workers will not be of small
consequence.”

Washington —The soldiers’ bonus
bill was made by a vote of 52 to 8
the special order of business of the
senate immediately after the final vote
on the tariff bill, unless It is dis
posed of before that time.
Adoption of a motion to this effect
came after an all day fight at the
outset of which an effort to get the
bonus before the senate failed. Sev
eral senators gave formal notice that
they would continue to press for ac
tion on the bonus ahead of the tariff.
A move to upset the program of the
Republican majority calling for action
first on the tariff was launched by
Senator Walsh (Democrat) of Massa
chusetts, who made a formal motion
that the tariff bill be displaced by the
bonus measure. Senator Watson (Re
publican) of Indiana moved to lay this
motion on the table, and his motion
prevailed 51 to 22. Eight Democrats
supported the Watson motion and two
Republicans voted against it. The roll
call follows:
For the motion—Republicans: Borah,
Bursum, Calder, Cameron, Capper,
Cummins, Curtis, Dillingham, Du
Pont, Edge, Ernst, Ferald, France,
Frelinghuysen, Gooding. Harreld, Jones
of Washington, Kellogg, Ladd, Len-
root, Lodge, McCormick, McCumber,
McKinley, McLean, McNary, Moses,
Nelson, Newberry, Nicholson, Norbeck,
Oddie, Phipps, Poindexter, Shortridge,
Smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland,
Townsend, Wadsworth, Watson of In
diana and Willis—43. Democrats:
Dial, Glass, King, Myers, Pomerene,
Swanson, Underwood and Williams—8.
Total for: 51.
Against the motion—Republicans :
LaFoilette and Norris—2. Democrats:
Ashurst, Broussard, Caraway, Culber
son, Gerry, Heflin, Hitchcock, Jones of
New Mexico, Kendrick, McKellar,
Overman, Robinson, Sheppard, Sim
mons, Smith, Stanley, Trammell,
Walsh of Massachusetts, Walsh of
Montana and Watson of Georgia.—20.
Total against: 22.
With the announcement of the re
sult of this vote the bonus row began
in earnest and waged for five hours.
In the midst of it Senator Watson of
Indiana offered a motion that the bo
nus be made a special order of busi
ness immediately after the final vote
on the tariff, and thereafter it be held
continuously before the senate unless
two-thirds of the senate voted to dis
place it.
A point of order made by Senator
Underwood of Alabama, Democratic
leader and an opponents of the bonus,
was sustained and the two-thirds vote
provision was withdrawn. -
After a long discussion the motion
was further modified so that a mo
tion to proceed to the consideration of
the bonus would be in order at any
time. Some opponents of the bonus
supported this motion, but eight of
them east their votes against it. They
were Dial, King, Myers and Williams,
Democrats, and Edge, Pepper and
Wadsworth, Republicans. Several op
ponents were absent.
Charges flew thick and fast during
the debate. They included assertions
that the delay in acting on the bonus
was for the purpose of killing it; that
those who made millions out of the
war behind an organized and exten
sive propaganda to defeat the measure
and that the Republican majority was
planning to use the bonus as a club
over the heads of opponents of the
taiiff measure to shorten debate on
that bill.
FAVORS CONSIDERING OFFER
Nebraska Senator Say* He Is Willing
To Displace Tariff Bill For
Ford Offer
Washington.—A determination of a
fixed policy for the development of
the government’s projects at Muscle
Shoals, Ala,, before congress adjourns
was asked by Senator Underwood, of
Alabama, democratic leader, during a
discussion in the senate of Henry
Ford’s offer for the properties and
the propaganda campaign, alleged to
be in progress both for and against
acceptance.
Senator Underwood said he believ
ed there would be an opportunity for
the senate to act on the Muscle Shoals
matter in the period intervening be
tween the passage of the tariff bill
and the report of the conferees on
that measure, adding that inasmuch
as the government invited Mr. Ford
to make his proposal, the Detroit man
ufacturer and the country were entit
led to know what disposition con
gress would make of it.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, chair
man of the agriculture committee,
which has been investigating the va
rious Muscle Shoals proposals, declar
ed he was willing to displace the tar
iff bill and consider the Ford offer or
any other.
"But,” he added, “that Is an impos
sibility. There is no use deceiving
ourselves as to the situation before
us and I don’t believe the senate will
be able to fix a policy for Muscle
Shoals at this session.”
The discussion was precipitated by
Senator McKinley, republican, Illinois,
who read a letter from James E.
Smith, of St. Louis, president of the
Mississippi Valley association, urging
acceptance of the Ford offer. Senator
McKinley said the letter was received
by a South Dakota merchant and was
a part of the propaganda beiDg con
ducted throughout the country in be
half of the Ford proposal.
“I have always deplored that class
of propaganda,” he said, “Issued by
organizations, but in reference to this
matter there has been as little prop
aganda as on any question that has
come before the congress. There is
good reason for quick action on
Muscle Shoals. Since this adminis
tration has come into power funds
have been withheld although it was
by no fault of the senate.
“It is a matter of record,” he con
tinued, “that this proposal came from
the secretary,of war and not from con
gress. He suggested more than a year
ago that the proper way to develop
Muscle Shoals would be by private en
terprise. He called' for bids and Mr.
Ford made his offer. For that reason,
action should be taken soon that Mr.
Ford and the country may know the
result.” ’
The Alabama senate called atten
tion that the projects were lying idle,
returning no benefit to the country.
He also declared Mr. Smith repre
sented a great organization in the Mis
sissippi valley devoted to the improve-
