CHECKING IMMIGRATION
ATLANTA, Aug. 31.—Relict-1
ous activity among negroes in the ;
south by the Southern Baptists •
convention is having a direct es- I
feet in checking migration to the I
north, according to reports re-1
ceived by the home mission board, :
These reports indicate, accord- j
ing to the board, that the interest
shown by the denomination in the
spiritual life of the negro is aid
ing materially in creating a feel-j
ing of mutual confidence between
the two races, thus tending to
check the movement toward the
north.
A commission has been formed I
to establish a negro theological |
seminary, which will be located in ;
Nashville, Tenn., and the institu-1
tion will soon be in operation, ac
cording to plans. The property
will be held and the institution
controlled jointly by the Southern
Baptist convention and the nation
al convention of Colored Bap
tists.
COTTON OUTLOOK IN
TERRELL COUNTY POOR
DAWSON, August 31.—The cot-
I ton outlook in Terrell county and
throughout this section is anything
but encouraging, and there is no
doubt that the crop will be one of
the smallest ever produced here.
Since January first more rain
has fallen than was ever before
known, and the crop was planted
and cultivated with a great excess
of moisture. Now that harvest
time has come the rains continue.
It rained all of the past week, and
farmers say Tain is doing’ more
damage than boll weevils. They
report that the bolls are rotting
and, besides, picking has been re
tarded and the staple damaged by
stain. Only a few bales, due to
bad weather, were brought to mar
ket the pats week, but with a few
days of sunshine the staple will
come to the Dawson warehouses
daily by the hundreds of bales.
ATLANTA TEACHERS TO
GET ADDED TRAINING
ATLANTA, Auguts 31. All
teachers in the public schools of
Atlanta are to meet for a week
of intensive normal training just
prior to the opening of the city'
schools on Monday, September 10,
according to Miss Mary W. Postell,
assistant superintendent in charge
of elmentary schools.
FALL STYLE SFIOW TO BE

est stores in Macon, are co-operat
ing making elaborate preparations
with the ‘Retail Merchants’ Bureau
and Chamber of Commerce for the

mittees are now completing ar
rangements for the show.
TO FIGHT CAMPAIGN
MR mi LINTS
Declaration of Coolidge That He
Wil! Carty Out Harding Poli
cies Settles This
WASHINGTON, August 31.
The change in the ofiice of chief
executive does not change the fact
that the presidential campaign in
192-1 will be fought out on ques
tions of party policy.
One of the first announcements
of President Coolidge was that he
would carry out the policies of i
President Harding, and he gave the I
best evidence possible that he in-1
tends to do so by retaining the 1
full membership of President Hard
ing's cabinet. President Coolidge
therefore should have full credit
for- complete sincerity in making
this promise. The issue of 1924,
in view of this promise, remain un
changed, however they may be sup
plemented by issues raised by the 1
new president.
“What will be the issues in
1924?” is a question often asked.)
The most specific and eomprehen- 1
sive answer so far has been made 1
by Cordell Hull, chairman of the
Democrat:’ national committee.
Chairman Hull says:
“All the live and material issues
of 1924 cannot now be forecasted,
cither in general or in detail, both
on account of changing conditions
and of the ability of the party in
power to make and unmake some
I issues by acts of omission and com-I
mission. All pressing and vifal is
sues materially affecting the wel
fare of the people, or of most of
them, should be kept abreast of
each other. The next Democratic
national convention alone can de
fine the issues for Democrats. From
present-day opinion and discussion,
however, the following may be
nointed to as some of the more
important issues of the present and
the : mmediate future, without ref
erence to the order of their impor
tance: X
‘ The demonstrated failure of the
Republican administration, domi
nated bv the Old Guard at all times,
which has been aimless, instable,

“The proctical application of the
principle of international co-opera

tration to deal decisively with any
importan: phase of foreign affairs.

proposed .$750,000,000 ship sub

“A sound and humane idustrial

“Relief in transportation and
transportation costs.
“A more progressive and con

“Honesty and efficiency in the

number of government depart

HOG RAISING TILLING
OFF IN THIS STATE
Georgia Swine Growers Are
Told Georgia Still Imports
75 Pct. of Pork Supply
CEDARTOWN, Aug. 31.—Tlfe
hog raising industry ir. Georgia I
reflects a decrease of approxi
mately 35 per cent from last year, ■
H. McDowell, manager of a large |
packing house in Moultrie, told )
members of the Georgia Swine j
Growers’ Association in an address I
prepared for delivery today.
“We first began to raise hogs :
for the commercial or carlot mar- j
ket just ten years ago,” he said. s
“From that time up to 1919, we
I doubled the number of hogs on
I our farms, Since 1919, we have
shown a steady decrease each year.
“We are producing practically
25 per cent of our total pork con-
I sumption and importing from the
1 north and west 75 per cent of our
requirements.
“While we have made a credit
able showing in hogs, cattle,
Sheep, dairying and poultry, we
j still are importing four hundred
million pounds of packing house .
products and dairy and poultry
production per annum.”
In urging departure from the
one-crop system in. the state, Mr.
McDowell declared the south as a
whole is importing annually “about
$1,000,000,000 worth of these farm
products, which we could produce
if we adopted mixed farming.”
Natural advantages of this sec
tion for hog production, makes
Georgia one of the “most favored”
sections in the country, he said,
adding -that history snows from
progressive sentiment to the
prompt solution of conditions and
problems affecting the commercial,
economic, industrial and social wel
: fare of the people.
“The adoption of sound, econom
ic and trade policies, domestic and
I foreign, in contrast with existing
wholly unsound policies,' or none at
; all, of the Republican administra-
I tion.”
“time immemorial” no system of
agriculture has been successful
which did not include the raising
of livestock.
The planting of feed crops, suf
ficient to produce enough feed to
care for all the hogs, and the pur
chase of good hogs were urged by
the speaker for farmers plann
ing to enter the livestock industry.
Hogs can be raised in Georgia at
a cheaper production cost than hi
any western state, he asserted.
