Neighbor* And Friend*
(From Dawson News)
Knocker* Given a Knock
Dr. Soule has given Georgia knock
ers a knock, and advised them to quit
their deviltry. He insists that Geor
gia has a splendid system of good
roat ]=—as good a3 are to be found
in any state of equal wealth and
population —and is doing a great deal
for the cause of education, more in
fact than a large majority of her
sister commonwealths. The News has
said as much more than once, and is
glad to have so able and distinguish
ed an ally as Mr. Soule in upholding
the good name and prestige of our
state. “It’s great to be a Georgian.”

When you hear a man knock Geor
gia, just remind him that she pro
duces the finest peaches, watermel
ons, syrups, marble and granite in
the world. Her apples have won
enough first prizes at national shows
to prove them the equal, of if not
superior, to those grown in any oth
tr state. Her cantaloupes, small fruit
ad truck crops are as good as ,iW
'W&. Then ask him hrw nan a stake
with such resources be kept back.

MOTHER PRAYS FOR DEATH
CF TWINS JOINED TOGETHER j
South Bend, Ind.—While their!
mother prays that they may die,’
Lucy and Bessie Medich, the five
day-old twins who are joined to
gether at the abdomen, today ap
peared to be greying stronger under
the scrutiny of 100 surgeons and
physicians.
The Medich babies are joined to
gether as were the Jones twins who'
were born in Tipton county, Indiana, '
in 1889 and who lived two years.
Physicians say these two may live
longer than that, as X-ray photo
graphs show the organs fully devei
opend and robust. They may even
learn to walk.
Each ha's independent heart and
lungs. One sleeps while the other
is eating.
No operation for the separation of
twins joined in any manner has ever
been performed successfully. Phy
sicians say the attempt in this case
undoubtedly would result fatally for
both.
Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas S. Medich,
the parents, while praying for death
for the children, will not consent to
the children being put on exhibi
tion, They have raised no objection,
however, to the babies being exam
ined by physicians.
The onlv explanation the physicians
are able to offer for the phenomena
is that nature erred and the children
grew together. While experiments
with frogs and fish have shown that
monstrosities could be produced and
while museums are filled with stuffed
freaks of the animal world, little
knowledge of the causes of the condi
tions has been obtained.
While the Medich babies have been
called Siamese twins, they are not
joined as were Chang and Eng.
These babies are joined at the abdo
men and are fate to face. The Sia
mese twins were joined at the 'chest
by a bony band four inches long.
Daisy and Violet Hilton, who recently
appeared in vaudeville and who are
distinguished by their accomplish
ments, are joined by a bony band
at the spines. The Blasek twins of
Chicago, Rosa and Josephs, mho died
after they became adults, when an
effort was made to save Ore life of
one by separation, were joined hip
to hip.
Dr. Frank Crane says ‘The great
est vulgarity is spending more than
you make.” And he further says,
“And no matter who you are, whether
a bedecked lady riding in a limousine
you ea-rmett afford, or a shop girl
wearing a silk waist that is beyond
your means, don’t forget that you
are just plain Vulgar.”
a lovely party Wednesday afternoon

Cha-y*tal-Foy Wedding
(From Butler Herald)
The marriage of Mr. Foy and Miss
Chrystal occurred at high noon Tues
day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
A. Childs, the ceremony being per
formed by Judge L. T. Peed, a re
lative of the groom.

greatly endeared herself to a wide
circle of friends. She is the daugh

JEFFERSON, Jackson County, Georgia.
ATLANTA MAY BECOME
TERMINUS OF AIR ROUTE
A movement begun Saturday to
have Atlanta made the southern ter
minus of a lighted air route from
New York to the south and thence
to the west has every promise of
success and has been given consid
erable impetus by the favor with
which the plan has been received 1
by W. Irvin Glover, second assistant j
postmaster general, in charge of all
’•ail, steamship and airplane mail |
Contracts.
It was at a conference of well
known Atlanta citizens, where pro
posed air mail service was being dis
cussed with Mr. Glover, that the sub
ject of lighted air routes was con
sidered. Mr. Glover encouraged the
Atlantians in their plans to have
this city placed on a lighted air route
over which there will be night flying
of airplanes bringing mail and ex
press from New York and interme
diate points so that packages and
mail leaving New York and interme
diate points at 9 o’clock at night
would be delivered at the front doors
of Atlantians by 6 o’clock next morn
ing.
Fund* Already Available
It was brought out at the confer
ence that congress has alr<-ady made
an appropriation sufficient to estab
lish lighted air routes and that all
that is necessary to be done is to
convince the post office authorities
that‘Atlanta should be placed on such
a route.
Mr. Glover expressed the opinion
that an important lighted air route
could be established from New York
to Atlanta and thence to Los An
geles and San Francisco via Bir
mingham, Memphis, Little Rock and
Dallas.
In the course of the discussion it
was developed that there is at pres
ent a lighted air route from New
York to Chicago, and thence t© San
Francisco via several western cities.
Airplanes flying this route must
cross two mountain ranges and of
tentimes encounter fogs and snow
banks, making air travel extremely
hazardous.
The route from New York down
the coast to Atlanta, it was pointed
out, does not cross any mountain
ranges and is one of the safest in
the conntry. From Atlanta to Cali
fornia via the Southern route is also
said to be a much safer course than
from Chicago to California.
Mr. Glover was much impressed
with the possibility of Atlanta being
made the souther terminus of a
lighted air route and of Chandler
field being made a class A field.
When these things are accomplished
Atlanta will be the air traffic cen
ter of the southeast, and Mr. Glover
said that if the lighted air route is
established to Atlanta airplanes will
be immediately available for night
service.

WESLEYAN BREAKS GROUND
FOR $3,000,000 COLLEGES;
QUILLIAN RE-ELECTED HEAD
Macon, Ga., May 28.—Bishop W.
N. Ainsworth, of the Methodist Epis
copal church, south, recently assign
ed to service in the Far East, this
afternoon turned the first spadeful
of earth for the fundation of the
Greater Wesleyan college at Rivioli.
Only a few hours before Bishop Ains
worth had been elected chairman of
the board of trustees of the college.
In rapid succession other men and
women of prominence in the history
of Wesleyan college—the first char
tered college for women in the world
—used pick and shovel to dig the hole
deeper. .
Ta Cot $3,000,000
The breaking of ground for the
$3,000,000 college plant was the
closing scene of a pageant staged by
the alumnae, trustees, students, facul
ty and others depicting the history
of the institution.
The stage was a natural amphi
theater, a considerable distance from
the Forsyth road, on the pruptity
that was acquired by the trustees
several months ago. In the back
ground was the heavy green foliage
of the woodland. More than 3,000
persons witnessed the event.
There were many notable women
in the group, and men who have giv
en freely of their money and time to
the unbuilding of the educational in
stitution. Mrs. Loulie Kembell Rog
ers was the oldest graduate in at
tendance.
Mrs. Will Chappell, of Americus,
who graduated from Wesleyan 60
years ago, attracted much attention
when she appeared in the wedding
gown in which she was married 46
years ago.
PROFESSOR W. T. FOSTER
TO LEAVE JEFFERSON
Professor W. T. Foster, who has
been superintendent of Martin In
stitute for the past two years, severed
his connection with the school at the
close of the commencement exercises,
and will leave Jefferson some time
during the summer for other fields
of labor. He has been elected to
head a well known school in North
Georgia, and is also being negotiated
with to take charge of a splendid
school in South Georgia, but he is
andecided as to whether or not hf
will accept either. He is contem
plating a business trip to New York
within the next week or two. and the
result of this trip will determine hia
future activities
Mr. Foster is a splendid educator,
and his work at Martin Institute was
marked with excellent success. We
doubt if the school has ever done a
more profitable year’s work than
the one just closed. In this, of
course, he had the hearty co-operation
and loyal support of his corps of
teachers, who deserve with him the
commendation. Mr. and Mrs. Foster
and Miss Sallie Foster during their
residence here have been interested
in every civic and religious move
ment, and have lent their influence
to everything that pertained to the
moral uplift of the town. His ef
forts for the improvement of the
school have been rewarded with a
large per cent of success, and
wherever he may go he will carry
with him the best wishes of many
friends.
BIG MILLING COMPANL BURNS
The entire plant of the Juliette
Milling company, said to have been
the largest of the old-fashioned water
power plants in the south, was de
stroyed by fire last week. Thirty
men were employed there and the
plant had a capacity of grinding 6,-
000 bushels of corn a day. There
were twenty-two sets of “rocks,” or
millstones, in the mill.
In the plant were 50,000 bushels
of corn and much other material used
in packing grits and meal. On the
sidetracks were nine cars of corn
which was delivered to the company
by the Southern railway only a few
hours before the fire was discovered,
all of which burned. The plant was
located on the Southern railway at
Juliette, Ga., between Atlanta and
Macon.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Hollingsworth,
who have resided in Jeferson the past
few months, left Sunday for Winder
to make their future home. Mr. Hol
lingsworth is a traveling salesman for
the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Cos.
