LARRY AVERA’S WIFE
IS RELEASER ON BOND
ATANTA, July 11.—M s. Helen
Avera, who shot’ her former husband,
Millard Stephens, Sunday, when he
broke into her home, threatening to
kill her and take little 6-year-old Mil
dred Louise Stephens, she says, was
released Monday afternoon under a
$2,000 bond. Stephens’ condition, ac
cording to surgeons at the Grady
hospital, is serious, and he is not
expected to recover. Six bullets en
tered the abdomen, they state, and
punctured the intestines.
As she left police station in com
pany with her husband, C. Larry
Avera, local prize fighter, Mrs.
Avera expressed regret for the nec
essity of the shooting, but said there
was nothing else to do.
“I feel,” said Mrs. Avera, “that
I was within my rights in defending
my life and that of my daughter, and
1 am sure that all who know the facts
will agree with me. But, of course,
I am sorry I had to shoot him.”
Mr. Avera will go the limit in de
fending his wife’s action, he stated.
Stephens has served many terms in
the chaingang and penitentiaries of
the state for various offenses, ac
cording to the records of the court
house and jail. Officers charge that
he was once convicted of safe-blow
ing and of many other crimes.

LOBBYISTS FIND
BUSINESS DULL
ATLANTA, July 11. —Old time
lobbyists say that business in their
line is worse than they ever knew
before. Some of them have gone
home in disgust.
One of the most widely known lob
byists, who said last year that his
liquor bill was SIOO a day, says that
this year he can hardly get near
enough t oa legislator to offer him a
cigar.
The tax question is holding the
center of the legislative stage. The
repealers who are trying to abolish
tne tax equalization law are having
a hard time. They said they were
going to repeal the law the first da?
of this session. One-fourth of the
session has slipped away and they
have not even started debate on the
measure.
It is just beginning to dawn on
the repealers that the patrons and
friends of the 7,000 public schools
are blocking them. The repealers
had everything their way until the
senate woke up to the fact that re
peal would cut down the state’s in
come $2,000,000 a year, would wreck
the common schools and deprive the
Confederate veterans of their pen
sions. >1
When people realized that repeal
ing the, law would cut the schools
to 3 months a year, a thunderous
roar of protest went up. Scores of
county commissioners added their ob
jections. They said that repeal of
the equalization law would stop their
county improvements. They knew
that if the small counties cut their
tax returns by thousands of dollars,
the big counties would cut theirs by
tens of millions, that the 115 or 120
counties which have been drawing
more out of the state treasury than
they pay in, would be hard hit .
tl develops that there is a strong
and closely banded organization of
taxpayers in more than two-thirds of
the counties who are trying to pre
vent repeal. They are accusing can
didates who favor repeal, with trying
to break down public schools and cut
the Veterans out of their pensions.
And that is some handicap for a can
didate to carry.

TEXAS TO MAKE
GOOD COTTON
“We are in for better times,” said
E. E. Cook, of Plains, agent for the
Missouri State Life Insurance Co.,
today. “I am just back from St.
Louis where more than 300 agents
from 39 states of the company were
in session, all being men who had
written in a 12-month period SIOO,-
000 life insurance or more.
“After the convention we had a
wonderful trip down the Mississippi
river and next year we go to Califor
nia and down the coast and through
the Panama canal.
“The crops in the Middle West are
fine, our agents reported,” continued
Mr. Cook. “In Texas they are go
ing to make a good cotton crop, the
late rains having greatly improved
the prospects for that section. In
Oklahoma they will make a good crop
in half the state, while in the other
half the propspects are bad. West
Tennessee’s cotton crop prospects
were reported good. I know some
reports have come out of Texas that
the state will make a failure this
year in cotton. Our men from there
deny this and I think our people
should know the facts.
“The reports of general financial
conditions over the country were
surprising. Every one is looking for
good times from now on, for awhile
anyway. Our company alone wrote
100 millions of life insurance more
the past fiscal year than ever before.
That’s a good sign of a firm read
justment.
“Our immediate section of Geor
gia is in so much better shape than
other sections of the state that I feel
we should all carry a smile continu
ously. It’s so good that lam sure
pi writing more insurance this next
12 months than ever before.”

SOLONS, ATLANTA PLAN
ATLANTA, July 11.—Members of
the Georgia General Assembly will
be given an official entertainment
by the City of Atlanta that will be
different from parties of the past, if
Mayor Key has his way about it.
The mayor, conferring with Coun
cilman J. R. Seawright over the na
ture of the entertainment opposed a
barbecue, declaring the legislators
had been subjected to that form of
function too frequently.
The mayor plans to give the law
makers a dinner and vaudeville en
tertainment at the city auditorium.
For the purpose of discussing pre
liminary details he invited Major D.
F. McClatchey, secretary of the Geor
gia state senate; Lucian York, Fred
Houser and R. E. Harvey to his of
fices today.
Council has appropriated SISOO to
a fund to entertain the legislators
during their present session.
ROSE DEMANDS
QUICK HEARING
ATLANTA, July 11.—Returning
to Atlanta today to face charges by
his former woman employe that he
had attacked her, J. T. Rose, collec
tor of internal revenue for Georgia,
demanded of W. C. Carter, United
States commissioner, that a warrant
be issued against himself and that
a preliminary hearing be set for Fri
day morning.
Almost the first act of Mr. Rose
on returning to Atlanta was to dis
charge the woman employe who had
brought charges against him. Mr.
Rose said the woman had made out
three affidavits, containing similar
charges against him, and that the
statements as set forth in these affi
davits were contradictory. Deeming

BROWN URGES STATE TO
MAKE OWN ARSENATE
ATLANTA, July I.—Consideration
of a state-owned plant for the manu
facture of calcium arsenate by whicn
it is believed the product could be
furnished to the farmers cheaper than
the present price of 9 cents, will be
asked by J. J. Brown, commissioner
of agriculture, according to an an
nouncement made by Mr. Brown
today.
The commissioner stated that he
would take up the proposition with
the agricultural committees of the
senate and house immediately.
Mr. Brown says there is a mineral
deposit below Macon which is splen
didly adapted to the manufacture of
calcium arsenate, and by its manu
facture there the farmers would be
saved heavy freight bills, the freight
being one of the chief items making
up the present price of calcium arsen
ate.
It also is said that the present sup
ply is not up to the demand of Geor
gia farmers, who are fighting the
boll weevil, and this difficulty would
be obviated in the future by a state
owned plant, as the product could be
furnished to Georgia farmers exclu
sively unless there was a surplus.
