Negroes in Northern Exodus Arc
Anxious to Come Back Home
—Hungry and Penniless
'ATLANTA, May 28.—With the
advent of warm weather in the
Northern and Central Western
states the activities of labor agents
in the South have been increased,
according to agricultural leaders
here, and as a result the migration
of negroes into the industrial centers >
outside of the South is reported to |
be also rapidly incresfoing.
Leading iju-mers do not hesitate
to say that these movements are
being promoted jenera-ly through
false statements as to wages, living
conditions, permanency of jobs and
other misleading promises, and the
exodus, therefore, is not only inex
cusably working a hardship upon the
South, where foreign immigrant la
bor is almost wholly unknown, but
upon the negroes, as a rule, who are
by these promises, being induced to

I These facts have been established,
.in a great many instances, by ne
• groes who have returned to the
South, after finding conditions! far
different from the pictures pointed
I by the “emigrant agent” at the time
'recruited. Others have written back
Ito family and friends, ; and quite
a number to former employers, to
the same effect, and have asked for
the advancement of funds with which
to return.
Those who are familfer with con
ditions know that the effort to in
duce negro labor from the South
into the North, has resulted from
the 1921 immigration law by which
a ban was placed upon unrestrict
ed European immigration, and is to
meet merely a temporary construc
tion boom, with no degree of cer
tainty as to the permanency of em
ployment, and with living conditions
and expenses entirely at variance
with the habits and customs of the
negro.
The large number of negro labor
ers and farm hands in the majority
of cases destitute, who have arriped
in Boston, Mass., from Georgia,
homeless and friendless, has created
a serious problem for the chief in
dustrial cities of New England, ac
cording to a statement, of the New
England Chamber of Commerce of
ficials made public in Atlanta.
Women electors in the Wansworth
district of London outnumber the
70,0000 men l»y 6,0000.

BILL BAILEY TONIGHT
Battle Will Be Staged at Fair
Grounds—Bailev Heavier by
Fifteen Pounds
VALDOSTA, May 28. Fresh
from a clean-cut victory over Franie
Lewis in Charleston Wednesday
night, and having recently knocked
out Al Nelson twice in one night,
Young Stribling is primed to meet
Battling Bill Bailey in Valdosta at
the fair grounds tonight.
•And now, something of the slash
ing, smashing Battling Bill Bailey’s
record—the man who has met Bill
Brennan, Happy Littleton, Harry
Foley three times and has beaten
Joe White, who meets Louis Firpo
in Havana, Cuba, this month.
Bailey is fifteen pounds heavier
than Young Stribling and is detrmin
ed to give the Macon battler the
toughest fight he ever had. He has
been in secret training, preparing
for the battle and is determined to
defeat Stribling, if posible—a thing
which only three other men have
been able to do in 76 attempts. No.
man has ever knocked Stribling off
his feet, and Macon backers of the
boy declare that no one eVer will.
TELLHoTSOKED
OFFICERS ARE CAUGHT
C. H. Parks, Prohibition Enforce
ment Man, Says Federal Offi
cers Watch County Forces
WAYCROSS, May 28.—Whenever
it is found that rum runners are get
ting through a county without ap
parent difticulty, according to C. H'.
Parks prohibition officer in charge
of this district, an investigation is
made by federal agents to ascertain
whether or not there is collusion be
tween the officers and the liquor
runners.
That the recent arrest of four At
kinson county officers on a charge of
allowing rum runners to pass through
on payment of money brings the to
tal of officers arrested since Jan
uary 1, 1923 on similar charges up
to nine was the statement he made
today. ,
Other officers who have been ar
rdsXici, - aeconfiiig to Mr. Parks, in
eases similar to the recent one in At
kinson county, are E . S. Garner,
sheriff of Gwinnet county. H .S.
Garner, J. M. Barnard, Lum Brown
and H. S. Wages deputy sheriff.
Mr. Parks stated that with very
few exceptions the county authori
ties in South Georgia are co-operat
ing with the government agents to
best of their ability, and that the
situation in this part of the state
has improved rapidly since more
strict enforcement measures were
put into effect.
HAHIRA MELON GROWERS
ARE FIGHTING RAINFALL
HAHIRA, May 28.—Cantaloupe
growers arfc still busy fighting bdth
the rain and disease. Almost as fast
as they spray or dust the vines the
rain descend and wash much of it
off. The grower goes goes back
with his dust and takes another shot
at it. A very considerable number
of growers, at least, report very sat
isfactory results from their spraying,
declaring that the disease is being
held well in check where the work
is done thoroughly by the growers.

“MAKING A MAN”
AT OPERA HOUSE TUESDAY
, Some unusual things are done in
motion: pictures but not often js
an entire town transformed as was
done during the production of “Mak
ing a Man,” a Paramount picture
starring Jack Holt which will be on
view at the Opera House Tuesday.
• In the role of Horace G Winsby,
Mir. Holt is presented as the most
wealthy man in San Geronimo, Cal.,
and he owns practicaly the entire
town. Naturally, San Geronimo is a
fictitious name. But is was necessary
to take shots of some bustling little
California city which could serve as
San Geronimo. Burbank, a South
ern California town where there is
lots of acitivity, was chosen for the
purpose. ,
An entire day was spent in Bur
bank by the “Making a Man” unit.
Following the completion of the nec
essary shots for the picture, the car
penters again got busy and within
half an hour had removed the foreign
signs and restored the original ap
pearance of the city. But to almost
change the identity of an fentijre
business section of a thriving little
city demonstrates, to a certain ex
tent, the big things done in motion
nictures to make photoplays more,
realistic and to entertain the public.
BARTHELEMESS INTRODUCES
NEW HERO TO SCREEN.
Ever hear of a motion picture
hero who engages in a duel and
loses it? who participates in a death
[grapple with another fellow and does
not “get” the man though the lat
ter drops dead from heart failure?—
who makes love to a beautiful wo
man and at the same time remains
true to his real sweetheart?——and
who, despite all these things , still
remains a hero?
We guess not. And yet this is the
entirely different sort of hero that
Richard Barthelmess is introducing
on the screen today and Tuesday at
the Rylander theater in The Bright
Shawl.” Also in the cast is Dorothy
Gish, who gives a splendid perfor
mance.
Barthelmess, if all reports are to
be believed is a mighty convincing
and realistic hero at that. Also, a
very much beloved one.
Romance? He fell in love with
the fairest daughter of fine Cuban
family; but he also pretends to be in
fatuated with a beautiful Spanish
dancer—to gain valuable informa,
tion for the rebels.
Fight? He crosses sword with the
most expert swordsman in Cuba,
fights until he drops from utter ex
haustion, and is so greatly respected
by his enemy that his life is saved.
LANIERS BUY COTTON MILL
OPELIKA, Ala., May 28. The
largest single busines deal in the
history of Opelika was consummated
Saturday in which the Opelika cotton
mills were sold to George H. Lanier,
of West Point, Ga., and associates.
The consideration was something
like §750,000. The change of own
ership will take place at once.
The new management, headed by
George K. Lanier and his asociates,
is connected with one of the largest
cotton mill syndicates in the South.
It is understood that the coming of
this big concern means not only the
enlarging of this mill but the build
ing of more cotton mills in Opelika.
Bruges and Ghent, the Belgian
cities each have a carillion contain
ing 48 bells.
Rifle ammunition destroyed since
the aristice amounts to 922 mil
lion rounds.
SPECIAL HIBE SERVICE
SECURED FOB FARMERS
Senator Harris Tells How He
Arranged Marketing Facili
ties at Atlanta
Continued from Page One.)
lanta for Southern market news.
Marketing is the biggest problem of
all. It a farmer can get the markets
he will have money of nis own and
will not have to hunt cheap money.
Next is freight rates. Destroy the
farmer and you will destroy the
roads; destroy the railroads
and you will destroy both,
fne present rates, both freight and
passenger, are too high. Railroads
must make a profit; so must the
farmer and business man. The rail
roads should divide their 1 present
profits with the farmer and snipper.
Talking of money. I believe by
helping little towns we will help the
big towns; help the little fellow and
we help the big fellow. The Fed.
eral Reserve system is all right bu
W P. G. Harding was all wrong so
we fired him. Federal reserve banks
were not intended to make money;
they were intended to serve the peo
ple. Harding is to blame for defla
tion and he is an enemy to the
South and West. Now he is trying
to take the Cuban business from
Atlanta and Jacksonville and give
Ft t<J a Boston bank. If this is
not stopped in any other way, the
law will be amended at the next ses
sion so that it will be stopped.
I got through a bill enabling the
little banks to get cheaper money; an
other provides that the farmers pa
per can go for nine months. The
next congress we will get a law to
carry this paper twelve months.
I do not believe in a high protect
ive tariff. That tariff for the South
means trading a dollar for a dime.
But I voted for a high tariff on pea
nuts and vegetable oils because, with
the high tariff protecting the North
the South is entitled to protection for
what we have to sell. In China I saw
soy beans and peanuts at the rail
road stations in piles as high as this
courthouse. They work for five cents
a day and can ship those products
here and force down the price of our
cotton-seed and peanuts.
The Fordney-McCumber tariff
placed a duty of §5 a ton on potash.
It passed the house but we fought it
in the senate.
I believe Ford will get Mussel
Shoals. I believe that he will manu
facture fertilizer more efficiently
than the government. But if he does
not get that piece of property, the
government will manufacture fertil
izer there. Already plans for that
have been laid.
Senator Harris discussed his bill
for warehouses for non-perishable
farm products; also his bill for cotton
statistics. The latter was killed in the
house but he says Mr. Hoover is with
him and he will get the bill through
next year.
Four years ago the packers paid
three cents a pound less for a Geor
gia hog than they paid fort a Kansas
hog. I was the only man to take this
matter up. Today they are paying
exactly the same price for a peanut
fed hog that thev are paying for a
corn-fed hog.

Sherman, who is extensively engag

shipments of that kind before Mr.
Sherman accepted the business with
considerable doubt as to its success,
and it was stipulated that he was to
assume no liability in the shipments.
The first two shipments of fifty
queens each have arrived in Marl
borough and Mr .Sherman has heard
form them. They arrived with a total
loss of three per cent, which is no
more than ordinary domestic ship
