Moultrie Potatoes Net $3 Per Bushel
Moultrie, Ga.—Producers of early
sweet potatoes are receiving $3 a
bushel for them on the Moultrie
market. This is considered to be a
fancy price. So far the supply has
not been large, but since it. has rain
ed throughout this section of the
state, it is believed the offerings will
be heavy soon. Several carlot ship
ments will go forward within the
next few days, farm observers say.
Sugar cane, which was beginning

Body Of Harriaon Awaits Word
From Georgia Relatives
Harrissonburg, Va. —The body of
a man identifed Monday night as
Mayor Harrison, Atlanta, Ga., a
former horse trader, was held here
Tuesday pending word from Geor
gia relatives. He was fatally injured
in an automobile accident near
Franklin, W. Va., Sunday.
Three residents of Harrisonburg
identified him, saying they had dealt
with him in live stock.
A Harrisonburg undertaker said
Bernstein Brothers, Athens, Ga., un
dertakers, Sunday night over long
distance telephone requested the
body be held until Georgia relatives
could be contacted. The Athens un
dertaker was quoted as identifying
Harrison as a member of a gypsy
band with headquarters formerly in
Athens. Identification was made by
a finger missing from one hand and
other marks. The band now is dis
banded, according to the Athens
undertaker, but its official burial
ground is in Athens.
Mrs. Harrison also was injured in
the accident, and Tuesday had not
recovered consciousness. Her skull
was fractured.
Two small children were slightly
hurt when the Harrison car plunged
down a mountainside.
TEN COMMANDMENTS
FOR OWN GUIDANCE
OUTLINED BY GANDHI
Simla, India.— Mahatma Gandhi,
though he balked at giving the
world anew decalogue based on
modern needs, today outlined the ten
commandments which have guided
his own conduct.
“It would be presumptuous of men
to attempt to lay down rules for the
conduct of others,” he said, “but 1
don’t mind telling you what my own
rules have been. They are like so
many lamp posts guiding me through
life’s pathway, and they have guid
ed numerous of my co-workers.”
These are the rules he gave:
1. —Truth.
2. —Ahimsa, which may be trans
lated into English as love.
3. —Bramacharya, which may be
inadequately expressed as charity.
4. —Restraint of the palate, which
he elaborated as eating for the mere
sustenance of the body, abstaining
from intoxicating drinks and drugs,
such as opium and tobacco.
5. —Abstaining from the posses
sion of things for themselves.
6. —Adherence to life’s law that
one’s bread must be earned by the
sweat of one’ brow.
7. —Swadeshi, the belief that man’s
primary duty is to serve his neigh
bor.
8. Belief in the equality of all
mankind.
9. —Belief in the equality of all
the great faiths of the world.
10. —Fearlessness.
ALL BABES ALIKE, ACCORDING
TO COLD FACTS
Minneapolis.—Mothers may not
believe it, but it seems that babies
are pretty much alike.
Two years of scientific study by
research workers at the University of
Minnesota Child Welfare Institute
has presented proof that all babies
progress through the same cycles of
co-ordination, locomotion and motor
play.
One baby may reach one stage
faster than others, but despite claims
of mothers—and fathers—the study
has indicated that no baby can skip
any of them.
Dr. Mary M. Shirley, a director of
the research, has concluded that the
order of development is as immut
able as the course of Jupiter or
Pluto.
A chronological table showing the
limes for the first smile, the initial
expression of a desire to toddle and
the original impulse to swallow a pin
is one result of the study.
At six days of age the table shows
that the average baby’s eyes first fol
low light, while two weeks later it
will watch a person in the room with
it.
At 14 weeks it reaches for and
touches objects and seven weeks lat
er it first enjoys the thrill of putting
objects in its mouth. The grand mo
ment when it can play with its toes
comes when it is twenty-five weeks
old.
When the median baby is between
30 and 31 weeks of age it can sit
alone for a full minute. At 45 weeks
it walks when led and also creeps.
Two weeks later it can pull itself
up and stand with support.
CLIPPINGS FROM DAHLONEGA
NUGGET
The other morning a little after
sun rise a party was here with a
big truck Wanting 6,000 pounds of
cabbage. The drought did consider
able damage to the early crop in this
section. But the gentleman phoned
to Arthur Woody and he said they
had plenty over there. A little later
there will be plenty of them in this
county.

We understand that Uncle Polk
Lance, now deceased, was the first
onp to buy a cooking stove and a
sewing machine in Lumpkin county.
Rev. John Rider w'as the next citizen
to buy a stove, but left off the ma
chine. These things were scarce and
high at that time.
* * *
A citizen of Dahlonega was tell
ing us last week that long after his
wife died, while tearing down an old
house on the place he found where
she had hid some money under the
floor. The bills had crumbled to
pieces, and nothing gained by the
find except a $5.00 gold coin. The
rest of the unknown amount was a
clear loss.
* * *
We are informed that several sup
posed Indians dropped into Mill
Creek District recently, went out in
to the woods and spent some time
in digging two trenches and two
holes, and something gotten that had
been hidden there. Then left out.
It may be that these people were
disguished and out trying to trace up
a still house or two. Can’t never
tell.
TATTNALL COUNTY
TRACT SELECTED
FOR PRISON FARM
A 6,200-acre tract in Tattnall
county was selected Wednesday by
the legislative prison farm purchase
committee as the site for Georgia's
new prison farm.
Selection was made from 96 pro
jects offered, and the price agreed
upon was S2O per acre. The entire
transaction is subject to approval of
the governor, and members of the
committee said that it might be 60
days before title is obtained for the
state.
The Tattnall farm, listed under the
name of J. V. Kelley, of Reidsville,
represented the first choice of three
tracts that figured in the final vote
of the committee. A tract
submitted by L. G. Council, Sumter
county, was second, and the 5,000-
acre farm of A. J. Hill, Terrell coun
ty, third.
In all seven ballots were taken, the
Tattnall project winning, 11 to 5,
on the final one. Members of the
committee then voted to make it
unanimous.
The new farm is located 14 miles
from I.yoqs, 12 miles from Collins,
and six miles from Reidsville, the
county seat. It is six miles from
the paved road between Lyons and
Douglas, and within two miles of a
road recently surveyed for paving.
University of Georgia soil experts
reports on the tract show that prac
tically every acre .can be put under
cultivation. More than 4,000 acres
are of deep sandy loam, while in a
large portion of the land the clay
subsoil is 20 to 24 inches down. The
combined acreage of sand does not
exceed 250 acres, the experts re
ported, while there is adequate
water supply and some timber.
REV. J. E. ENGLAND,
RETIRED CIRCUIT
PREACHER, IS DEAD
Atlanta.—Rev. James E. England,
84, superannuated Methodist minist
er and well known member of the
North Georgia Conference, died
Thursday at the Julia Hutcheson
Memorial Home at Jonesboro fol
lowing an illness of about six weeks.
Funeral services were conducted
Friday afternoon at the Jonesboro
Methodist Church. Rev. C. D.
Read officiated and interment was in
the Jonesboro Cemetery.
Rev. England was the last of three
brothers in the North Georgia Con
ference who had been in the minis
try since 1874. He was born and
raised near Crawford, Ga., and was
admitted to the conference in 1874.
His two brothers, R. B. O. and S. O.
England died some years ago while
members of the conference.
Rev. England was a circuit preach

pastorate and held the remarkable
record of being the only circuit
preacher to represent the North
Georgia Conference as a delegate to
the general conference.
Rev. England is survived by his
wife, two daughters, Mrs. J. H. Jolly,
of Taylorsville, and Mrs. E. L. Bry
ant, of Decatur; three sons, L. C.,
P. 1., and James O. England, of At
lanta, and two sisters, Mrs. Robert
Williams, of Maysville, and Mrs.
Mollie Mathews, of Jacksonville, Fla.
FLYING FOOLS
(By David Presley, Royston, Ga.)
Often on the highway,
We meet him as he goes,
A-flying through the country,
How dangerous no one knows.
He jumps across the bridges,
He swings around the curves,
At forty miles per hour,
Oh, what pn awful nerve.
He drives so fast and reckless,
His vision often it mars,
To see a danger signal,
In time to stop his car.
He claims to be a sane man,
When driving on the road,
But no one would believe it,
Who once with him would ride.
He drinks a glass of whiskey,
E’er he leaves his abode,
He cranks nis old Ford flivver,
And starts out on the road.
And when he meets another,
He will not turn for him,
The man must either dodge him,
Or bump into him then.
Oh, listen now, good people,
Whenever you meet this man.
Turn your car from the highway.
As far then as you can.
The flying fools are many,
As you can plainly see,
And they man cause you trouble,
Tho’ careful you man be.
The flying fools are busy,
They travel day and night,
And when by chance you meet him,
Don’t try to hold your right.
But let him pass on by you,
And then your steps retrace,
And keep watch for another,
Who might be near that place.
BANKERS SUGGEST
BANKING REFORMS
Economic Policy Commission of
American Bankers Association
Rcdommends Aids to Prog
ress in Banking Business.
(FOLLOWING a nation-wide survey
of banking conditions and opinion
among bankers, the Economic Policy
Commission of the American Bankers
Association has made the following
recommendations for banking better
ment:
“Under the category of improved
bank management specific Improve
ments we might summarize are:
“(1) Liquidation or consolidation of
banks where changed local economic
conditions render this dc~irablc;
“(2) Wider affiliation among state
banks with tho Federal Reserve Sys
tem;
“(3) Development of limited branch
banking where economic conditions
and legal authority make thffi expedi
ent;
“(4) A more general practice, espe
cially lacking among country banks, to
analyze the cost of carrying accounts
and other operating details and the
establishment of proper service charges
to make all classes of function profit
able;
“(5) A more general application of
the theory and practice of secondary
reserves;
“(G) Avoidance by hanks of unduo
borrowing merely to increase their own
profits by relending at higher rates, or
to over-expand credit to local business
in order to increase their own busi
ness;
"(7) Cooperation among bankers in
local communities through city, county
or regional clearinghouses so as to
promote mutually beneficial conditions
and practices;
“(S) The insistence upon higher
educational effort and qualifications
among employees, especially those to be
trusted with executive duties.
Legislative Measures Proposed
“There are some external measures,
along moderate legislative and super
visory lines, that we also believe
would help strengthen banking. Among
these are:
“(1) The broadening in the states
of branch banking laws where condi
tions warrant an extension of this
type of banking service to the public;
“(2) The establishment of sound
minimum capital funds under which
banks will be allowed to operate, which
should be materially higher than now
prevails in most states; specifically,
we believe that the minimum capital
with which any new hank shall be
chartered, whether state or national,
should be at least £50,000;
“(3) The provision of funds and
regulations to keep the official staffs
of all supervisory departments up to
a level of ability and integrity that
will universally inspire confidence
among hankers wii ,e activities they
arc empowered to review, and will sup
ply real added defenses to the public
interests they are appointed to protect.
“(4) In connection with the policies
of bank chartering departments, we
would recommend that, even to a
greater extent than is now the prac
tice, the greatest care and moderation
should be exercised in granting new
charters, so as to guard against over
banking or the launching of new banks
by unqualified persons, which have
doubtless been serious factors in the
bank failure situation in the past.
“(5) Also, referring to Federal Re
serve practice not requiring legisla
tion, we believe that the Federal Re
serve Banks should exercke more free
ly their rights to examine banks and
use their discretionary power to refuse
rediscount facilities to hanks indulging
in objectionable banking methods.”
Banker-Farmer Plan
An editorial in' Southern Cultivator
says: “Favorable comment is being
made upon the wisdom and promised
results of the farmer-banker agricultu
ral program in Georgia. Industrial
leaders and publicists, noting that 115
of the IGI counties in the state have
pledged prosecution of the ‘live-at
liome’ farm reform, are regarding the
working out of the plan this year as of
more interest to American farmers
than any developments of the Soviet
five-year plan in Russia. Agricultural
actuaries are of the opinion that if
Georgia farmers, hacked by our coop
eratingibankcrs and supply men, dem
onstrate the expected economies and
profits of this home-support plan, it
will quickly become a contagious cus
tom ail over the agricultural areas of
the nation. It will be the writing of a
new ‘declaration of independence’ for
the individualist farmers of the coun
try, putting them upon solid terms of
credit and prosperity without need of
recourse to federal or state financial re
lief measures. The man of the soil
who lives year in and year out ‘on his
own’ will stand up in his community as
an economic freeman, making hi3 own
terms with the world of finance and
trade.”
A meeting of farmers, bankers, and
newspaper men of St. Croix County,
Wisconsin, recently organized a drive
to promote the growing of alfalfa in
such quantity as to save the dairy
man the expense cf commercial feed,
and insure greater dairy profits. It
is planned in this campaign to have,
within the next three years, at least
one acre of alfalfa produced lor each
dairy cow in the county, or a total
of about 10,000 aerts.
