The Car Without Experiments
Thebe’s never any doubt about value when
you buy a Ford car. You know it’s all right
or Henry Ford wouldn’t put it out. One thing
that never changes is his policy of dependable
transportation at low cost.
That’s the biggest feature of the New Ford.
The reliability and economy of its V-8 engine
have been proved on the road by upwards of
1,400,000 motorists. Owner cost records show
definitely that the Ford V-8 is the most
economical Ford car ever built.
NON-ACID FERTILIZERS
O
The United States Department of Agricul
ture, after studying crop yields in every state
where fertilizers are used, found that NON
ACID fertilizers give higher YIELDS.
<
In Alabama the Commissioner of Agricul
ture has made a ruling requiring all manufact
urers to state whether each grade they made is
acid-forming or non-acid. In South Carolina a
bill has been introduced in the Legislature to
make it a part of the Fertilizer Law.
Our Fertilizers are NON-ACID, rich in
Lime and MAGNESIA, and made to give maxi
mum crop yields.

Gold To Be Mined
(From Oglethorpe Echo)
We are told that a miner who w r as
here last week inspecting gold de
posits in the Flatwoods section ac
quired mining rights in what is
known as the C. L. Howard mine on
Buffalo creek, about two miles above
the highway bridge across that
stream, and announced that oper
ation would be started early in the
spring. That there is plenty of the
precious metal to be found in thul
vicinity has often been proved but
it is mixed with a baser metal from
which it has heretofore proven so
costly to separate that mining was
unprofitable. A recently perfected
process for separating the metals is
to be tried on this mine and if it is
found to be successful we may ex
pect lots of gold to be obtained from
that section of the county.

Mr. Bud Jones, of the Boardtown

day, Mr. Joes still asks work no

like one hundred crossties in the

Shrine Mosque Building
May Become Auditorium
Atlanta, -Ga.—Purchase of the
magnificent Shrine mosque, at Peach
tree street and Ponce de Leon ave
nue, by the city for use as an audi
torium for $725,000, or 25 per cent
of the original cost of the structure,
was proposed to council members
Saturday by A1 Belle Isle, president
of the Atlanta Convention Bureau,
backed by Councilman John A.
White, chairman of council's public
buildings committee.
Asserting that the offer to sell the
building with all its furnishings and
equipment would make it the “best
buy Atlanta ever made” and claim
ing that it will not cost the city a
cent during the 20 years the city
has to retire the obligation, Belle
Isle .held that Atlanta would be
foolish not to acquire the properties
at once.
In a communication to Mayor Key,
R. M. Crenshaw, representing the
committee which controls the build
ing, made a specific offer, agreeing
to accept SIOO,OOO cash and the re
mainder over a period of 20 years.
Belle Isle announced that public
spirited Atlantans have underwritten
,he SIOO,OOO and the city will have
it immediately without having to
“raise a dime to buy the property,
which cost $2,783,000.”
lie did not announce the names of
those who have agreed to underwrite
the city’s note for SIOO,OOO because
some of them did not wish their
names known publicly.
Under the plan, the city will pay
SIOO,OOO cash, which will be retired
from proceeds of the auditorium at
the rate of $20,000 a year plus 5 per
cent interest. The remaining $650,-
000 will be retired under a similar
agreement, beginning six years from
now.

Hauptmann Found Guilty of
Kidnapping and Murder
Flemington, N. J.—A solemn man
date—death in the electric chair for
the kidnap-murder of the infant
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.—was read
to Bruno Richard Hauptmann by his
Jersey jury and his judge Wednes
day night
Pale and erect, he heard the sen
tence of the jury that, “We find the
defendant guilty of murder in the
first degree,” and he swryed almost
Imperceptibly as Justice Thomas W.
Trenchard sentenced him to die in
the electric chair at Trenton peni
tentiary, “the week beginning Mon
day, the 18th day of March.”
But he crouched at midnight on
the edge of the cot in his guarded
cell and wept.
He had not a word for the men
who watched him.
Shortly after the jury climaxed
32 days of tragic, dramatic testi
mony and frendied pleading, with its
verdict, Edward J. Riley, big chief
of the defense counsel, announced
an appeal would be carried “to the
highest court of the country, the
United States supreme court, if ne
cessary.”
“We believe we shall be able to
secure an ultimate reversal of the
judgment,” Reilly said.
The first higher court to pass on
the appeal is expected to be the
court of errors and appeals of the
state of New Jersey, and the case
probably will not reach that tribu
nal before the latter part of May.
The father whose baby died at a
kidnaper’s hands three years ago
next March I—Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh—did not hear the jury’s
mandate, did not see Hauptman as
he stood, white and unshaven, to
hear his doom.
Colonel Lindbergh had left the
courtroom early in the afternoon
and when New Jersey authorities
telephoned the home of his mother
in-law at Englewood, they were in
formed that the household had learn
ed of the verdict from broadcasts.
Although Colonel Lindbergh and
the baby’s young mother have been
staying at the Morrow home, the
officers who telephoned were inform
ed that the famous flier was “not
at home.”
This close friend and legal adviser,
Colonel Henry Breckenridge, de
clined in New York to comment on
the verdict, as did Dr. John F. “Jaf
sie” Condon, the aged Bronx school
master who paid $50,000 ransom to
a man he identified as Hauptmann.
The eight men and four women
of the jury spent 11 hours and six
minutes in the bleak back room of
the old Hunterdon county court
house and reputedly balloted five
times before they reached their ver
dict.
REMARKABLE RECORD OF
COLORED CITIZEN
James W. Davis, a colored mail
carrier in Athens, was retired on a
pension recently, after serving Uncle
Sam for the past thirty-six years and
eight months.
During that time Jim has walked
a total of 20 miles a day, six days
a week. That figures up to some
thing like 228,480 miles the color
ed carrier has trudged about the city
delivering mail. And those miles
are only the steps he took in line
of duty. He has walked a distance
of nine times around the world at
the equator.
Besides all the above, he has an
otherwise notable record. During
| his life in Athens he taught in the
city colored school for five years and
spent one year as Bandmaster at
Tuskeegee Institute, in Tuskeegee,
Ala., the great Negro school of the
south.
For six and a half years he was
pianist at the old Athens theater
and later at the Colonial theater.
For many years he played for the
University dances and taught music
classes in his home. He furnished
music for many functions in private
homes in Athens.
He organized the Men’s Bible
class of the First A. M. E. church,
membership of which grew to 76.
