COHN CLUB POIZES
OFFEOEO FOR 1914
H. G. Hactings Tells of Enthusiastic
Plans Already Under Way
in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga. —(Special.)—Enthusias-
tic plans are already under way in
Georgia fnr tilt 11)14 Corn Glut) con
tests and for another big annual show
.like the one which took place at the
state capitol in December and brought
hundreds of sturdy farmer boys to
Atlanta from all sections of the s:ate.
H. G. Hastings, chairman of the ag
ricultural committee of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce and manager
of the Georgia State Corn Show, will
have general charge of the exhibition
again this year. It was through the
influence of Mr. Hastings that ttie
Chamber of Commerce took up the
Corn Show work, and his interest has
been. a leading factor in its success.
It is impossible to estimate the
value of the Com Club movement to
Georgia agriculture. The production
of corn in Georgia has been Increased
between $30,600,000 and $40,000,000
during the* past six years. The tamers
of the Corn Club boys, who first look
ed on the* movement as a fad, have at
last come to realise its great practical
value, and are now as much interested
as the boys in increasing the pro
ductiveness of their land.
The corn club movement has spread
all over the South, and extensive plans
for tills year are being made In prac
tically all the Southern states. Mr.
Hastings has renewed for 1y 14 bis of
fer of $1,300 In corn club prises to
be distributed among the ten princi
pal Southern corn-growing states. The
H. G. Hastings prizes In Georgia in
clude a $250 scholarship at the Slate
College of Agriculture and casli prizes
of S3O and S2O.
The Hastings scholarship was won
last year by Carl Campbell of Pauld
ing county, who made 168 bushels to
an acre at n profit of $147.85. The
state record was made by Edward
Wellborn of Morgan county, with 181
bushels. He chose as his prize the
Percherori mare offered by the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway.
THAT BURSTING HEAD.
Probably is the Result of an
Inactive Liver.
Too frequently one forgets his
liver and then he must pay the
penalty in the form of headaches,
indigestion, constipation and oth
er symptoms. When this happens
you must go hack; help nature
eliminate the accumulated poisons
cleanse the system of bile and
the results will quickly disappear.

1 [PLANTA’S RECORD.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. Bth. —The
year of 1913 was an unlucky one
for matrimonial bliss in At
lanta. One couple out of every
six sought divorce, which is
probably the highe/t average ev
or reached in a southern city.
Tllc figures show that one di
vorce petition was filed in 1913
for, every six marriage licenses is
sued.
There were 2,973 mart-lag i>
during the year, and 533 divorce
petitions filed. The monthly av
erage for the year averaged 50.
showing that the increase was
itoady, with no particular “di
vorce wave’’ at any special sea
son to be Warned for it.

Under the old regime the peo

every kind of investment shark

able to “put it over.”
Rbw Over Vice £ quad.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. Bth.—Tin
row between the lead ng At
lanta business men and the
Men and Religion Bullet
ins is gradually resolving
itself into an expression of pub
lie dissaproval of the extremes
to which. Cheif of Police Beavers
lias carried variou.: phases of tin*
vice war and the possibility that
police commissioner may select
anew cheif of police.
Thefirst definite step.; in this
(1 rectum is the resolution intro
duced by Councilman Jesse Dec
with the endorsement of business
men and of the mayor, rebuking
the police commi.ssion may select
cert azi policies of Cheif Beav
ers and abolishing the vice squad
returning tin* plain clothes men
to regular uniform duty in the
ranks.
“J realize this s a bold step
to take” says Councilman Bee.
but 1 realize it is for the g°od
of the city. 1 believe that the peO
pie will approve more of ade
quate protection from thugs, foot
pads burglars, etc., than of large
vice squads. I think tl\e time -S
ripe for change, and I believe
that council and tile police com
m ssioner will uphold my views.
The situation exisnng in Atlan
ta is not altogether understood
by people outside Atlanta. The
agitation now on foot is not a
movement for a wide-open town.
Some of t’heif Beavers sincer
est enimies are men prominent in
church and civic welfare. The
trouble is as they see it, that
the vice crusade has made condi
t oils worse than they were be
fore in Atlanta, by simply scat
eriug vice instead of restricting
t to a limited di| itrict.
Recorder, Nash Broyles, of At
lanta, has announced his candi
dacy for the court of appeals,

should resign from the recorder
ship and go to studying law as In
is about as well equipped for a
seat on the bench, of a court of
last resort as the average justice
of the peace.—News-Herald.
