i ed and abundantly provided.' The I
' Home fare is augmented frequent- i
!y by baskets from friends in town
who know that we old fellows love i
| fruits and candies.
“East Atlanta is near, and many j
I beautiful churches are in this vicin- i
ity in which we worship with the I
congregations who are cordial to us. |
Then there is the large auditorium '
in the home,* where chapel services i
are held each Sunday in the morftfy
i conducted by a minister represent
ing the various denomination*. •
“Not to be behind the swift-niov
j inc; times, we have a radio set and
Lean’listen in to the concerts and
i other features that are broadcasted,
i “Individually, I have had my
friends from Americus visit me, and
this has been a source of much pleas
ure to me. It is a quiet home, and
I am-very glad, to be there and shall I
be very glad to return.”

| PRESIDENT HAS
BROAD POWER
Can Decrease Or Increase Tariff
Under Provisions Os New
Bill
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Amer
) iean tariff making entered a new
: phase, today with the coming into
i force of the tariff act of 1922. For
li the first time, congress has delegat
< d part of its authority over taxes
at th.? customs houses, conferring on
i the president broad powers to in
crease or decrease rates, and to
change from foreign to American
valuation as the basis for assessing
ad valorem duties on imports.
Referring to the sections carrying
this grant of authority, President
Harding, in attaching his signature
to the new act, declared yesterday
that “if we succeed as I hope we will
succeed in making effective the elas
tic provisions of this, this will prove
the greatest Contribution toward
progress in tariff making in a cen
; tury.”
The tariff created
■ durifig the administration of Presi
dent Wilson, will be the agency
, through which the president will ex
l ercise his new authority. The com
missions will make extensive investi
gations into cost of production at
home and abroad and will report its
findings with recommendations for
rate op valuation changes to the
! president.
Applications for changes in rates
c-r valuation basis will be referred to !
the commission. If the facts pre
sented justified action, investiga- :
tion, and perhaps, hearing would <
follow.
Rules and regulations will be an- '
nounced, Chairman Marvin said to- j
day when the commission works out i
( details of methods and procedure.

HARDWICK CALLS
PASTOR RIDLEY
HARSH NAMES
ATI.ANTA, Sept. 22—Governor
Hardwick in a telegram replied to
the statement, made by the Rev.
Caleb Ridley, pastor of the Central
Baptist church, last Sunday, that the
governor ha,, promised t u commute
the sentenc * Frank Dunre from
death to life imp ,, 'sonment. Gover
nor Hardwick is in New York on a
vacation trip. His te:‘gram follows.
' Ordinarily 1 pay little attention
to the misrepresentations of charla
tans and blatherskites, but the state- j
ment of Ridley in his pulpit Sunday
disgraces him and the pulpit front
which it was delivered. The state- !
ment that 1 promised him to com- j
mute Dupre’s sentence is an abso- '
lute and willful falsehood. His j
statement that my position with re
gard to this matter or with regard ■
to the Ku Klux Klan was inspired |
by political motives is likewise and I
equally false, and Ridley knows it, i
His statement that I made promises j
to secure the support oi either Wat-|
son or I.oyless or broke promises to ,
either is likewise false, and Ridley
knows it.’
"The man is absolutely without
either character or veracity.”

IN HANDS OF JURY
A FLAN PA, Sept. 22.—Arguments
were concluded in the trial of W. E.
Sailors, 24 years old, one of the
i three men under indictment for mur
i der in connection with the killing
of J. L. Martin, 4 8-y earmold farmer
I of Maysville, Ga., la»t August, and
the case went immediately to the
jury. Assistant Solicitor General E.
A. Stephens, who opened the argu
ment lor the state, declared the act
oi Sailors in felling Martin, which
was admitted by the defendant,
should be construed as murder under
the Georgia • law, irrespective of
whether death resulted from the ■
blow or from Martin’s head striking |
the pavement. Attorney John S.
Highsmith, counsel for the defend
ants, jp his opening argument, laid I
the basis for the inference that Mar- i
tin’s death, which resulted from a
fractured skull, was caused by his I
head striking the pavement.

PARIS, Sept. 22. (By the Asso

fused categorically to withdraw her
troops from Clianak and has so in

was definitely stated in official Brit
ish circles last night in reply to,a per
sistent report in French quarters that
British, forces would probably be
I retired on the other side of the
I straits.
Lord Curzon, the British foreign
i secretary, was in communication with
Premier Lloyd George by telephone
i and telegraph throughout the day,
and th»* t rench premier received no-,
tiiication late yesterday afternoon
ci the decision to hold the troops
at Chanak.
1 he British government has been
advised by military and naval ex
perts that the troops are in no dan
gei of attack by the Kemalists. It
is further stated that the British
navy in co-operation with the lanH
forces could withstand a strong at
tack by the lurks, but if overwhelm
ed by superior members, which is
regarded as highly unlikely, the
! troops could lie. easily withdrawn to
Gallipoli under cover of the naval
guns.
French Disregarded.
Meanwhile, according to dispatch
es from Constantinople, the French
and Italian contingents have been
withdrawn from the neutral zones by
order of their governments. The
Bii’isn say they have the assprance
of Premier Poincare himself that' tKe •
Turks will not attack, the premier
declaring that the only danger wqs
from Turkish irregulars. <
M. Poincare, however, has made a
strong plea for the retirement of the
British, forces, on the ground that
such a move would hasten peace and
would calm the more warlike party
