pot.t-d of an intimated value
of |5,000, was given u rousing re

on its* arrival in Atlanta. The re
ception committee included Eugene
IK ad. city detective; W. H. Hollis,
Fulton County deputy sheriff, and
Prohibition Officer F. B. Clark; Ros
coe Kemsey, C. R. McQuonn and W.
A Crow. The place was Inman
Yards.
Acting on a tip received from
Florida, the officers went to the rail
road yard at 4 o’clock Tuesday morn
ing to meet the train when it arriv
al. The car was shipped from
\V 4 Palm Beach, Fla., and was en
route to Monroe, Mich., billed as 300
crates of tomatoes.
On entering the car, the officers
found 140 cures of liquor which con
tained 2,712 pints and 324 quarts of
aborted brands. The cargo was
taken from the car, smashed with

WHAT USE WATER?
Water, the importance of which is
ordinarily overlooked except in times
of flood or drought, is being cast for
one of the most important roles in
American economic progress by the
Chamber of Commerce of the Unit
ed States which is preparing to ap
point a special committee to study
its manifold uses.
Abundant as it is, there is no
longer more than enough water for
any purpose for which it may be
used. As the population has grown
more dense demands for water have
multiplied. The resources of sever
al great drainage basins are the sub
ject of litigation before the United
States Supreme Court. Some of the
largest cities are having trouble in
securing adequate supplies.
The question is universal. In
California and the Southwest where
development is limited by water the
husbanding and more effective use
of the supply is a matter of grow
ing < on- rn. Other sections are call
ed upon to decide whether their riv
er- .ball lie used for power or navi
gation or th- development of fisher
ies. Still others are facing the
problem of providing an adequate
supp'y >r industrial uses without
!• in.ting reams needed for other
purpose's. On the aesthetic side the
question arises whether certain
streams are more desirable as scen
ery than as sources of scenery.
Water, no less than oil and tim
ber, is taking an important place in
national policy.—City Builder.
WAYCROSS HAPPY IDEA
(From Savannah Press)
Way cross lias acted very sensibly
in providing a memorial to the sold
iers who have fought the wars of
America. It has decided not to in
vest its funds in marble or granite
effigies of fighting men nor to erect
at some prominent spot in the town
a memorial of inanimate stone that
would mean but little to those who
came in contact with it each day.
Instead the town authorities have
invested in a substantial home at
Carswell avenue and Tebeau street,
and will transform it into a memori
al for those who have followed the
fortunes of war from that thriving
South Georgia town.
Wo are advised that the title to
the property will lie in the name of
the city which has made the pur
chase, but the women’s organiza
tions of the town will have the use
of an care for the memorial. There
are five of these women’s patriotic
organizations—the Lyman Hall and
Jonathan Bryan Chapters, Daughters
of the American Revolution; the
Francis S. Bartow Chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy; the
Wayc: •oss committee of the Colonial
Dames, and the American Legion
Auxiliary to the Ware County Post
Number 10.
Is your tin Lizzie on the down
grade? There arc 5,000.000 auto
mobiles in use in the United States,
too worthless to be sold or insured,
and a menace to traffic. Dealers and
manufacturers now have a junking
plan. The manufacturer junks such
cars turned into dealers, the loss
being divided. At least fourteen
la go manufacturing companies have
adopted the plan, and the coming
year will remove 40,000 unsafe cars
fi m the highways. New Jersey
now revokes the license of a man
whose car is mechanically unsafe.
GETS HIS WISH: DIES IN
CHURCH NAMED FOR HIM
Rleigh, N. C. —An often express
ed wish to die in the church which
was named for him came true for
Edward Curtis Hillyer, 74-yeur-old
Raleigh capitalist.
Hillyer dropped dead Sunday
morning while officiating in the cele
bration of holy communion in Hill
yer memorial church (Christian
Disciples). His last words were “In
Jesus’ Name.”
And Hillyer’* funeral, held ut 5
o’clock in the ufternoon, was the
first conducted from the church,
erection of which he supervised in
1925. He was an elder and a most
active member of the congregation.
Hillyer was a native of Auburn,
Cal., and came to Raleigh over 30
years ago/
TEXAS FARMER, LACKING
HORSE HITCHES UP WIFE
A farmer near Arlington, Texas,
who has been plowing his farm with
his wife hitched to the plow is now
using a mule while his wife rests be
tween household duties and attend
ing three babies.
About half of a ten acre field had
been plowed when officers inter
fered. The woman wouldn’t talk,
and the officer asked the farmer why
he was making his wife pull the
plow.
“Because I haven’t got a horse,”
was the answer.
AUGUSTA WOMAN TOLD
NOT TO KILL NEXT HUSBAND
Augusta, Ga.— On the early morn
ing of April 15 John L. Horton of
Augusta was fatally wounded by
gunshot fire in an altercation with
his wife, Mrs. Lucy Horton.
The Richmond county grand jury
inquired into the case, in which Mrs.
Horton pleaded self defense. A
death certificate said that death was
due to “pulmonary embolism,” with
the gunshot wound as one of the
contributory factors.
After the return of a “no true
bill” by the grand jury late Wed
nesday Percy Burum, its foreman,
told Mrs. Horton: “Be more care
ful not to shoot your next hus
band.”
MAIL DAMAGES TWO COUNTIES
Thomasville, Ga., May 29.—De
vastation was spread through a wide
area of farmland in Thomas and
Grady Counties by a hailstorm last
night, according to reports reaching
here today.
In the Bold Spring section the
storm destroyed growing crops in an
area a mile wide and many miles in
length. Obervers reported that in
one locality the ice washed in hol
lows 18 inches deep.
North of Thomasville the hail
stones were large, but the fall was
not so Jie.' .y and did less damage,
it was reported.
CRITICISM
Criticism may help or hinder us,
cheer us or discourage us, inspire us
to renewed and greater effort or
cause us to give up the fight and
sink into deep despair. The fact
that your best friend has begun to
find fault with you is no evidence
that he has ceased to be your friend.
It may be that he is just beginning
to be the friend you most need. To
see ourselves as we appear in the
eyes of the critic may be good for
us. We are apt to damn in others
that of which we are unconscious in
our own lives, and that man is a
friend, no matter what his motive,
who enables us to “see ourselves as
others see us.” So much for the
man who is under the critic’s micro
scope. But, oh, you critic; look for
the beam in your own eye first, then
remember this: criticism is not ne
cessarily adverse, and a word of
commendation is a great incentive to
righteous endeavor. —Exchange.
BILLS TURNED TO DUST
AFTER YEARS IN FIELD
REDEEMED AT FULL VALUE
Marshfield, Wis.—Two years ago
Nick Henseler lost his pocketbook
containing $42 in currency while
plowing.
Meticulous searching thereafter
revealed no trace of it until this
spring, when, plowing again, he turn
ed up the purse.
But mother nature had taken a
hand and the bills were turned to
dust. Ilenseler’s banker forwarded
the pocketbook and all to Washing
ton in hopes that experts might de
termine the denominations of the
bills.
Monday the banker received in
structions from Washington to
credit Henseler with $42.
Haven’t '■een that “stuck-in-tho
mud” expression in the daily papers
in a long time. It went out of use
with the routing of the bondites in
the state.—Oglethorpe Echo.
THE POET’S LAMENT ,
Written for Georgia Highways
By Platt Young
1 would flee from the city’s rule and
law,
From fashions and forms cut
loose,
And go where the strawberry grows
on its straw
And the gooseberry grows on its
goose;
Where the catnip tree is climbed by
the cat
As she clutches for her prey
The guileless and unsuspecting rat
On the rattan hush at play.
I will catch with ease the saffron
cow
And the cowlet in their glee
As they leap in joy from bough to
bough
Ond top of a cowslip tree,
And list while the partridge drums
his drum
And the woodchuck chucks his
wood
While the dog devours the dogwood
gum
In the primitive solitude.
O, let me drink from th< mossgrown
pump
That was hewn from the pumpkin
tree,
Eat mush and milk from a rural
stump 4
From folly and fashions free;
New-gathered mush from the mush-
room vine
And milk from the milkweed
sweet,
With pineapple, too, fresh from the
pine,
All served in a rural retreat.
And then to the whitewashed dairy
I’ll turn
Where the dairymaid hastening
hies
Her ruddy and golden-red butter to
churn
From the milk of her butterflies;
And I’ll rise at morn with the ear
liest bird,
Through the fragrant farmyard
pass
And watch while the farmer turns
his herd
Of grasshoppers out to grass.
VIDALIA POLICEMAN
MAKING GOOD MONEY
WITH GLADIOLA FARM
Vidalia, Ga.—A new agricultural
diversification has been developed in
Toombs County by Night Policeman
Sam Bland, of this city. Mr. Bland
has a two-acre patch of gladiolus on
his farm from which he is now ship
ping buds to New York, the tract
yielding about 100 to 150 dozen
glads per day which are cut in the
bud, packed and expressed. The
express time to New York is about
thirty-six hours and the buds open
to a flower while in transit, being
Teady for the market on arrival.
They retail for about $2 *to $3 per
dozen, but Mr. Bland makes his sales
before shipping and nets about 75
cents per dozen. The gladiolas are
produced from bulbs and no figures
on costs of production are available,
but the income of $75 to a SIOO per
day on two acres indicates a com
mercially successful development of
the industry.
According to figures compiled by
the American Research Foundation,
ravages of insects cost the state of
Georgia $20,000,000 during 1930.
