WOMEN PLEASED
WITH NEWTAX IDEA
STAND TAKEN IN SINGLE TAX
THEORY MEETS WITH INDORSE
MENT BY SUFFRAGETTES
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
There From All Section Os
The State
The Atlanta Equal Suffrage asso
ciation, through its president, Mrs.
Amelia R. Woodall recently presented
to Governor Hardwick a resolution
passed at a meeting in which the ap
plication of the single tax theory in
Georgia was advocated and the gover
nor’s stand in discriminating between
“earned and unearned” incomes was
indorsed.
The resolution follows:
“Whereas, the burden of taxation
calls for immediate relief, and
“Whereas, the demand for revenue
whereby to maintain all governmental
institutions was never so great, and
“Whereas, the only means of har
monizing these two apparent conflicts
is by enacting the principles of moral
right and justice in our system of
taxation, without fear or favor; there
fore be it
w “Resolved, by the Atlanta Equal
Suffrage association, That we com
mend that portion of Governor Hard
wick’s message to the legislature
enunciating the principle of discrim
inating for purposes of taxation be
tween ‘earned’ and ‘unearned’ in-
comes; and be it further
“Resolved, that the admission that
some may enjoy ‘unearned’ incomes
is proof of grave wrong in our econ
omic system, and be it further
“Resolved, That the power of tax
ation should be exerted at the very
roots ©f this wrong so as to prevent
its curation, rather than permitting
the wrong to continue and merely at
tempt to palliate its effects; and be it
farther
। “Resolved, That the way to accom
plish this lies in the taxation of land
values, since these comprehend all
natural wealth which, by being mon
' opolized without proportionate return
to society, constitutes a special privi
lege by which an increasing many are
competed to pay tribute to a decreas
ing few; and be it further
“Resolved, That we pledge our sup
port to any and all measures now
possible which trend in the direction
of the single tax; and be it further
“Resolved, That we give this ex
pression of our views to Governor
Hardwick and other state officials on
whom the financial problems of the
state are bearing heavily, believing
that those entrusted with momentous
responsibilities and compelled to en
counter obstacles should receive cor-
dial encouragement in any meritorious
effort.
“Passed in open meeting July 20,
1921.”
Negro Is Killed By Unknown Person
Brunswick. —Ed Dixon, a well
known Brunswick negro, was shot and
kilted recently at Thalman, a small
station on the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad, 19 mites from
Brunswick. The negro was walking
along the tracks when one shot was
fired. No one seemed to know why
he was kilted, and before he died the
negro made a statement that he did
not know by whom or why he was
shot.
Savannah Increases Building Permits
Savannah. —For the first time in
months, thevalue of building permits
issued in a single month show an in
crease as compared with the similar
month last year. The local figures
for the month of June indicate better
conditions. According to the figures
of the building inspector, building
figures , for Savannah in June, 1921,
were $221,170 as compared to $175j
£25 for June of last year.
Mclntyre Given Sentence Os One Year
Atlanta. —A verdict of involuntary
manslaughter in the commission of an
unlawful act was returned recently
against Julius Mclntyre, charged with
killing Will Tumlin near Grant Park
on May 7. He was sentenced to one
year in the state penitentiary. This
wa sthe minimum penalty under the
law in such a case.
Fine Melon Crop In Wilkinson County
Irwinton. —The finest crop of water
melons Wilkinson county has ever
raised is now almost ready for the
market. A number of cars have al
ready been sold at Gordon and Tooms
boro. The best melons have sold for a
good price, but one car at Toomsboro
of inferior quality brought only $65.
The largest acreage ever planted in
<me year is the result of the boll wee
vil ravages and the growers are jubil
ant over the prospects.
One Is Killed In Southern Wreck
Atlanta. —One man is dead, another
ii believed to be dead in the wreck
age and a third man was seriously in
jured recently when an Atlanta-bound
freight train on the Southern railroad,
©n which the three men were alleged
to have been stealing a ride, was de
railed near Nickajack, a station about
15 miles out of Atlanta on the Birm
ingham-Atlanta division of the South
ern railroad. A union card found in
the pocket of the dead man identified
him as George Albino, of Galveston,
Texas.
INDISTINCT COPY
ILLITERACY FUND IS
OFFERED TO GEORGIA
SIO,OOO From Private Sources To Be
Used By The Georgia Illiteracy
Commission
Atlanta. — Offers to raise SIO,OOO
from private sources to be used in
carrying on the work of the Georgia
Illiteracy Commission if the legisla
ture will appropriate SIO,OOO for this
work were submitted recently to Pres
ident Herbert Clay, of the state sen
ate, and Speaker Cecil Neill, of the
house of representatives, by C. J.
Haden, vice president of the commis
sion. Mr. Haden offered, in addition,
to raise the SIO,OOO from private sour
ces in full before any part of the legis
lature appropriation be used.
In his letter Mr. Haden said that
in addition to the appropriation of
1919 of $13,500 made by the legisla
ture for this work the Georgia Illiter
acy Commission raised an equal sum.
With this limited resource, supple
mented by volunteer services of the
public school ■Superintendents and
teachers and patriotic private co-opera
tion approximately 20,000 people were
taught to read and write in Georgia.
In making his proposal to raise the
SIO,OOO to continue this work Mr.
Haden said:
“If the present legislature will ap
propriate even as much as SIO,OOO
with the condition that before any
portion of this appropriation shall be
used as much as SIO,OOO in money or
bona fide solvent private subscriptions
shall have first been obtained, our
commission will undertake to secure
these subscriptions.”
Mr. Haden declared that apart from
all other considerations the enormous
value to Georgia of a high place in the
scale of literacy would warrant a lib
eral appropriation.
“With so great a number still left
in Georgia groping their way in the
half-blindedness of illiteracy it would
seem that white we provide large sums
for higher education this very small
amount might be spent for these un
fortunates, even in the midst of our
business depression,” Mr. Haden said
in the tetters. He asked that the mat
ter be referred to the proper commit
tee.
No Change Os Venue Sought
Albany.—Belief in the innocence of
Glen Hudson, held in the Bibb county
jail at Macon charged with the murder
of his two young stepchildrei is ex
pressed in a statement issued recently
by the aged parents of Hudson, who
have come from Columbia, Ala. They
deny that they will seek a change of
venue for their son when he comes for
trial, as they believe, they declare,
that he will be given a fair and im
partial trial here. The mother of the
slain boys held in jail here charged
with having participated in their mur
der, is bitterly upbraided in the State
ment by the parents of her husband
They indicate that until he met her, he
was a model son. They assert that
she exercises an uncanny influence
over him, and that he fears her “as
a lion.”
Suicide Assigned As Cause Os Death
Macon. —A coroner’s jury recently
held that John W. Robinson, who died
at the Macon hospital recently kilted
himself. No motive for the supposed
suicide was indicated at the inquest.
Robinson was head of the Acme Weld
ing company, and was a former base
ball manager and a catcher in the
Sally league. He is said to have been
a catcher and also a foot-ball player
on the Harvard team during his col
lege days. Jack Ong, business asso
ciate, told the coroner’s jury that he
wrenched a bottle of cyanide potas
sium from Robinson’s hands, but the
latter being more powerful, recovered
the poison and deliberately threw it
into his mouth.
Efforts Made To Combat Weevil
Dublin. —During the few weeks past
much effort has been put forth to
check the spread of the boll weevil.
Arsenate of lead and molasses, used
through a sprayer, is the method being
used and despite the rains each day
during the week, much progress is
reported and the farmers generally
have better hopes than ever before for
a splendid yield of cotton. A new
spraying device, pulled by a mule, is
one of the latest methods of fighting
the pest. A container on the spray
holds seven gallons of the poisonous
liquid and an acre can be sprayed for
an average of 60 cents per acre. L. O.
Moseley and W. B. Rice, of Dublin,
are agents for the sprayer in this sec
tion.
Savannah-Augusta Line Assured
Savannah. —That a freight and pas
senger steamer line between Savan
nah and Augusta will be inaugurated
soon seems an assured fact. A letter
received by E. J. Black, and M. H.
Rowse, who have been named the Sa
vannah agents, from Augusta business
men interested in the project indica
tes their share of the money will be
raised without difficulty.
Negro Prisoner Hanged At Pearson
Waycross.—Julius King, the negro
who killed S. A. Lastinger a farmer,
recently and who was subsequently
convicted of murder in the superior
court recently, was hanged at Pear
son. King was hired by Lastinger as
a farmhand, but at the time of the
murder was serving as a cook. The
negro received a whipping from his
employer, it was testified, and, accord
ing to the statement he is alleged to
have made while in the Ware county
jail here, he gave Lastinger a large
dose of strvchnine.

Hoover Favors Long Farm Loans
Washington. — Farmers should be
permitted to borrow money for longer
periods than is now possible, in the
opinion of Secretary Hoover, expres
sed in a letter to Senator Capper, of
Kansas. Hoover advocated “some
sort of a definite organization" to meet
the deficiency in this direction. Long
credits, he said, fall outside the prov
ince of both the federal reserve farm
loan banks. Hoover cited five types
of credit which he said are needed in
agriculture —loans up to six months
and loans up to a year for production
or marketing of annual produce; loans
from one to three years for produc
ing and marketing cattle; loans from
one to three years for farm equip
ment; long term loans for purchase
and improvement.
Quadruple Trial Will Still Continue

introduced witnesses recently in an
effort to refute statements by the
mother of Petree that her son had
been mentally and physically weak
since infancy. Arguments may be
•eached and the case go to the Jury

LEGISLATIVE LETTER
Happenings and Activities of In
terest Pertaining To Georgia
Lawmakers Now In Session
At The State Capitol
Many occupation taxes will be in
creased if the senate adopts the re
vision of the general tax act now pend
ing in the house. The bill embodies
130 items, and something like fifty
were passed by the house recen ly
when the bill occupied the entire day’s
session. The house will resume its
work on the bill when it convenes
soon, and the leaders hope to get it
through that day and transmit it im
mediately to the senate.
The general tax act, as it is com
monly called, is nothing more nor loss
than the schedule of state occupation
taxes. It is always revised at inter
vals of two years, sometimes at inter
vals of a year, according to the condi
tion of the treasury. At the present
time, as is well known, the treasury is
empty and piled up with debts aggre
gating $3,500,000. This makes it nec
essary to rake and scrape revenue
from every available source.
The woman’s citizenship bill of Sen
ator J. H. Boykin, as amended by the
general judiciary committee, passed
the senate recently by a vote of 34 to
4. The bill removes the civil disabil
ities of women and allows them to
hold office in Georgia. The amend
ment stipulated that they shall not
perform jury duty or do police or road
work.
An effort by Senators L. C. Brown
and J. R. Thomas to have the meas
ure tabled brought many senators to
their feet to urge the passage of the
bill Besides Senator Boykin, Sena
tor Nix, Jones, Bond, and Collum
spoke for it.
Senator Thomas in his speech took
the view that women, should be held
liable for poll tax but should not be
permitted to hold office for the rea
son that “they have no business in
polities.”
A bill introduced in the senate re
cently by Senator Boykin, Wohlwen
der and Hutchins would substantiate
a state board of seven regents of con
trol for the various branches of trus
tees in charge of the University of
Georgia and its branches, the twelve
district agricultural school, the state
board of education, the state board
of vocational education and the boys’
and girls’ industrial schools.
The bill has the support of Gover
nor Hardwick. It provides that three
members of the board of regents
shall be the governor, the state su
perintendent of schools and the comp
troller general and that the four ap
pointed members shall be named, two
for two years and two for four years.
The free school-book bill by Sen-
ators Rountree and Walker, provid
ing for the purchase of books by the
state for use in the public schools,
without charge upon the pupils, was
approved recently by the senate com
mittee on education.
Senator Walker presented an ex
haustive analysis of the bill, and no
body appeared in opposition to it.
The bill would take the money, to
buy the books, from the public
schools appropriation of the state. It
is estimated that the cost would be
upwards of $500,000 a year. The first
and second grades would be supplied
with books in 1922, the third and
fourth grades in 1923, the fifth and
sixth grades in 1924, and the seventh
grades in 1925. To supply all grades
in one year would cost something like
$2,500,000, it is estimated, and no such
amount of money is available, with
the treasury carrying a deficit of $4,-
000,000.
The following new bills were intro
duced in the house:
—By Mr. Hamilton, of Floyd—To
make the office of state veterinarian
a part of the agricultural department.
(General Agriculture No. 1.)
—By Mr. Knight, of Berrien (by re
quest)—To require issue of marriage
licenses to non-resident female by or-
dinary of county in which marriage is
to be performed; to require posting of
application for five days prior. (Gen-
eral judiciary No. 2)
—By Mr. Bobo, of Wilkes; Dr.
Ricketson, of W T arren, and Others —
To repeal the act regulating return
and assessment of property in the
state for taxation; to create board of
assessors. (General agriculture No.
2.) The measure repeals the tax
equalization law.
—By Mr. Fowler of Bill—To sub
mit to voters of Macon a charter
amendment putting the city under city
manager form of government. (Mu
nicipal government.)
—By Mr. Fletcher of Irwin —To re
arrange the Cordele judicial circuit
and the Tift circuit, by putting Irwin
county in the Cordele circuit. (Spe

pilots at St. Marys instead of four.
(General judiciary No. 2.)
—By Mr. Williams of Walton —Tc
provide for special local levies to
cover deficiencies in drainage cases,
(Drainage.)
—By Mr. Munday, of Polk —To
amend scope of act relating to con
demnation of public lands to give ad
ditional authority to counties for road
purposes. (Public highways.)
—By Mr. Beck of Carrol—To pro
vide that all primary elections be on
the same day; that all nominations be
by primary and fixing qualifications.
(Privileges and elections.)
—By DeKalk Delegation.To make it

lic highway any form of vehicle which

LESSON FOR JULY 31
SAUL TEACHING AT ANTIOCH.
LESSON TEXT-Acts 11:19-30.
GOLDEN TEXT—A whole year they
assembled themselves with the church,
and taught much people.—Acts 11:26.
REFERENCE MATERIAL - Acts 5 42;
I Tim. 2:5-7; II Tim. 2:2.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Carrying Help to
Jerusalem.
JUNIOR TOPIC—SauI Helping Ottiera
In the Christian Life.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—Entering Upon a New Career.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—A Year’s Teaching in Antioch.
When God was about to launch the
missionary enterprise among the Gen
tiles, He arranged for a new religious
center. Antioch was admirably
adapted for such a center. The upper
classes were Greeks and used the
Greek language. The government
officials were Romans and used the
Latin tongue. While the masses were
Syrians, sprinkled among them were
Jews who had come for commercial
purposes; also travellers from all parts
of the vvorld were in evidence.
I. A Religious Awakening at Antioch
(vv. 19-21).
1. The occasion (v. 19a). The perse
cution at Jerusalem scattered the
disciples abroad. This God permitted
in order to separate them from the
home people at Jerusalem.
2. The preachers (v. 19a). They
were ordinary men and women, not
officials, but they were filled with the
yearning desire for lost souls and
witnessed of the Lord Jesus in the
power of the Holy Ghost.
3. What they preached (vv. 19b,
20). They preached the “Word” and
the “Lord Jesus.” All who preach the
Word will preach the Lord Jesus;
for He is its center. The real reason
why there are not conversions today
is the failure of ministers to preach
the Word.
11. Barnabas Sent to Inspect the
Work at Antioch (vv. 22-24).
This was a wise selection.
1. The character of Barnabas (v.
24). He was a good man. It is
highly important in sending a man
to follow up a work of the Spirit that
his character be good. He not only must
be of an unblemished character, but
his sympathies must be broad. He
must be capable of entering into full
appreciation of the things about him.
Much mischief often results from
sending injudicious men to look after
the Lord’s work. He was full of the
Holy Spirit. This is an essential
qualification for pastoral work. Only
a Spirit-filled man can appreciate the
workings of the Spirit of God. He
was also a man of great faith.
2. Work done by Barnabas (v. 23).
He gladly endorsed the work and
earnestly exhorted them to steadfastly
continue in the faith, clinging unto
the Lord. There are many allurements
to tempt young Christians. The re
joicing of Barnabas shows that he
was a man who could rejoice in the
work of others. He did more than
Inspect the work; for many people
were added unto the Lord. Doubt
less he preached.
111. Barnabas Brings Saul (vv. 25,
26).
The work grew to such an exte
that help was needed. Barnabas had
the good jugment to seek Saul for
this important work. Barnabas knew
that the bringing of Saul would mean
his taking a secondary place. It is
the duty of Christian leaders to seek
out men who are qualified for the
Lord’s work and bring them from their
places of obscurity, setting them to
work in the Lord’s vineyard. There
are many men in obscurity which it
requires a Barnabas to bring forth.
IV. The Disciples First Called Chris
tians (v. 26b).
They were not called Christians In
derision, as is so often asserted. It
was a consequence of Saul and Barna
bas teaching there for a year that
they were called Christians. The name
was a consequence of the teaching. In
all Saul’s teaching he showed the
unique relation which the Christian
sustains to Christ. Since the body
closely resembles its head, Christ, they
were called Christians.
V. The Church at Antioch Sends Re
lief to Jerusalem (vv. 27-30).
The Holy Spirit through Agabui
made known a great dearth through
out the world. This came to pass in
the days of Claudius Cesar. Every
man according to his ability deter
mined to send relief unto the brethren
which dwelt in Judea. They made up
money for the poor saints at Jerusalem
and sent it by the hands of Barnabas
and Saul. This act not only proved
the genuineness of the work at An
tioch. but it emphasized the fact that
there is no division between Jew and
Gentile.
Christ’s Blessing.
From Heaven Christ sends down a
blessing. He communicates His na
ture to us, and so we learn how we
are to live, and how we are to let
Him live in us; and we see somewhat
of what we might be if we had faith,
and hope, and love, to bear the weight
of the glory.—H. Monsell.
Where Love Reigns.
“The best way to cultivate love in
your heart is to enthrone Jesus there
*—f or He is love, and, where lie is
love reigns.”
