Good Roads for Telephone Talk
. HE good roads movement has not been confined to
e the highways.
e The Bell Telephone system has covered the
country with “good roads” for telephone talk, reaching
every nook and corner.
" There are more than 12,000,000 miles of these “good
roads” in the Bell system. Some of them are strung in
single pairs or in aerial cables from pole to pole; others are
hidden away in widerground conduits; they reach the heart
of each industrial and commercial center of the nation and
to the most remote habitations.
These “good telephone roads” of the Bell system, all op
: erated by one system, under one policy, forming one con
tinuous system of intercommiunication, connect more than
7,500,000 telephones for universal service.

IMPETUS IS GIVEN
JUVENILE CLUB WORK
Athens, Ga., April 16.—The largest
number ol boys and girls ever enrolled
in agricultural clubs in Georgia lhas
been obtained this year. Final reports
coming in after closing the enroll
ment, April 1, shows that over 20,000
boys and girls have taken up work in
corn clubs, canning ululm,‘pig clubs,
poultry clubs and four-crop clubs.
President Soule of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture, fip(:akinq'of the
prospects, states that they are the
brightest in the history of the club
movement in Georgia, and that with a
favorable season he looks for the lar
gest averages in production in all of
the clubs, that have yet heen recorded.
Most hearty support has been given
in organizing the clubg by the school
authorities, teachers, business men,
county officials and farmers. The en
thusiasm among the c¢lub members
was never so greal and their contribu
tion to Georgia's agricultural progress
never so promising as at piresent, is
Dr. Soule’s opinion.

Slatesboro, Ga., April 16.—An opti
mistic feeling pervades' the business
men of Statesboro and the county over

The earnestness and determination
with which the substantial farmers

of the packing plant proposition is an
indication that they fully intend to
take this county out of the one-crop
column. A report just made of the
number of subscribers to the stock of
the packing house carries the names
of more than 400 prominent men and
the amount now totals in excess of

SUFFERED FROM STOMACH TROU
BLE AND CATARRH FOR FIVE
OR SIX YEARS.
Mrs. Jno. O’Conner, who lives at 338
[Cast Oldman Street, Knoxville, Tenn.,
called up the Kuhiman-Chambliss
Drug Co., recently and said she wan
ted to speak to the “Tanlac” man.
When Mr. Willis answered the tele
phone, Mrs. O’'Conner made the fol
fowmg statement:
“I just wanted you to know, and
everybody else to know, what that Tan
lac medicine has done for me. Why,
I have gained eight pounds already,
and have only been iaking it for ten
days. 1 have just finished taking the
first bottle and have sent Mr. OCon
ner back to the store this morning
for another bottle, This Tanlac cer
tainly does just what you say it will
do. 1 began 1o eat better, sleep bet
ter and feel better from the very first
dose, and the change in my condition
flms just been wonderful. I had a good
doctor before 1 began using Tunla(:.‘
but he didn’t seem to understand my
case, and his medicine did not seem
to do me any good, so I just set it
aside and quit using it. p
“Wor the past five or six years I
have been in a run-down condition—
nervous, weak and at times very dizzy.
I had nervous headaches and indiges
tion perfectly awful. My stomach WAS
s 0 weak 1 couldn’t digest the lightest
kind of food. I was nervous and de
pressed and slept very little. 1 had
become so despondent over my condi
tion I thought nothing could help me.
It certainly was lucky for me when
[ heard of Tanlac. It is not like any
other medicine I have tried—it seems
to soothe my stomach, and is a fine
tonic, too, because my appetite is good
now, and I digest what I eat. If any
one had told me there was a medicine
on earth that would make me gain
eight pounds in ten days, I would have
thought them crazy.” {
“1 don’t believe there is another med
icine on earth like Tanlac. My catarrh
is also a great deal better—in fact, I
hardly notice it any more.”
Tanlac, the wonderful medicine that
accomplishes such remarkable results
in Mrs. O’Conner’s case is sold in Cor.
delo exclusively by J.-B. Ryals Drug
(0., in Hatley by Roberts & Co., and
in Arabi by City Drug Store.
LYNCHING CALLED
“AMERICAN SPORT”
New Orleans, April 16.—With the
election of ofEcers today, including
Dr. (. H. Bough of Arkansas as pres
ident, and a mass meeting tonight
dealing with recall problems, the
Southern Sociological Congress about
completed its work here and was pre
paring for adjournment tomorrow
night, following a joint meeting with
the Southern Conference for Educa
tion and Industry. Dr. Charles M.
Bishop, president of the Southwes
tern University, Georgetown, Tex., and
Rev. Theodore D. Bratton, bishop
Protestant-IBpiscopal church of Mis
sissippi, delivered the principal ad
dress tonight.
Dr. Bishop referred to lynching as
“the great American sport” and said
that in 1915 the record of deaths by
mob violence fell below the average,
there being sixty-nine lynchings, sixty
seven of which occurred in the South.
“The prevalence of mob violence,” he
deciared, “has dulled the public con
science with respect to the sacredness
of human-life and sanctity of the law.
Lynchings increase lawlessness rather
than promulgating a respect for laws,
degrades the finer sensibilities of the
pecople and aggravates race antip
athy.”
ELEVENTH DISTRICT
BE STORM CENTER
Wayeross, Ga., April 16.—Congres
sional politics in the Eleventh dis
trict today offer more ground for
speculation than usual, owing to the
position Lowndes county occupies. The
present representaiive, Hon.. J. R.
Walker, is a resident of Lowndes, and
one of the probable candidates, Judge
W. E. Thomas, is also a Lowndes
county man. The rest of the district is
wondering what is the real cause of
this condition and the belief is be
coming more general throughout thei
district that Lowndes will only have
one candidate for congress. So far
there are only two candidates in the
race, W. (. Lankford of Douglas. Both
have been active since entering the
race and are making addresses almost
daily. “ongressman J. R. Walker re
cently said he would announce for re
election and Judge Thomas has been
going into new territory this week
meeting so-called leaders and sounding
out sentiment regarding his candidacy.

g ENDS IN KILLING
- Walthourville, Ga., April 15.—Ac
cording to reports which reached here
today, Billie Long, a farmer of Lib
erty county, was shot and killed late
yesterday at the home of his broth
er, Neuby Long, at Robertsville, about
six miles from Walthourville. His
brother, Neuby Long, and his brother
in-law, Walter Jacobs, were sujd
to have done the shooting, but this
was unconfirmed. So far no arests
have been made.
The killing, it is said, was the re
sult of an old family quarrel. Billie
Long, according to reports, went to
the home of his brother yesterday
morning and renewed the dispute,
His mother, who was visiting there,
is said to have told him to leave the
place, which he did. Later, it is said,
he returned to the farm, armed with
an ax. It is asserted that, aftev
threatening to kill any who inter.
ferred with him, he started in to de
molish everything in the house. When
he finally turned on his mother and
advanced toward her in a threatening
manner, reports state, Neuby Long
and Jacobs drew their pistols and
fired in her defense. Both shots took
effect in Billie Long's abdomen. He
died an hour later.
The Longs moved to Liberty county
about three years ago from North
Carolina. The dead man was 35 years
old, and is survived by his widow.
He was buried this afternoon.

IS JUSTICE’S DECISION

L.ong and Walter Jacobs, who were
said to have shot and killed William
Long, the former’s brother and the

charged after a preliminary hearing
before Justice J. A. Howard, soon af
ter the killing. Long and Jacobs had
surrendered to the sheriff. Justice
Howard held that the killing was jus
tifiable homicide. The principle wit
ness was the mother of the dead man,
who is 80 years old.
JUDGE RUSSELL ADMITS f
THAT HE’S TO RETIRE
Atlanta, April 15.—Judge Russell ad
mitted this evening that he will ten
der his resignation one day next week,
but that he has not decided what day,
for the reason that certain court mat
ters on his hands will have to deter
mine that, in that he wants to con
clude them before taking up the res
ignation. When it will become ef
fective he has not decided; but thinks
it will be about June 1. He will say
in the resignation that he is resigning
because he wants to again take up the
practice of law, after having been chief
judge of the court of appeals nearly
nine years.
His indefiniteness as to the day on
which the resignation will be tendered
is substantially the same reason given
by him for not having decided the
date on which it is to be effective.
