vited and should attend this meet
ing.

Persian Attackers
\ To Be Punished
Continued from page one
J awaited Sunday night at the State
) Department. Official advices so

| sian legation no further word had
been received since instructions
came to express to the Washington
government Persia’s deep regret
for the occurrence.
PROMPT COURT MARTIAL
IS PROMISED
MORRISTOWN, N. J., July 21.
| No mercy will be shown those re
/ sponsible for the fatal beating of
•. Vice-Consul Robert Imbrie by a
(fanatical mob at Teheran, Persia,
H. H. Topakyon, acting consul
general of the Persian government
in the United S'tates, said at his
summer home near Morris Plains.
‘They will be promptly executed
at the place of their crime and this
I may be witnessed by the American
; minister and his staff,” the Persian
» representative added.
Mr. Topakyon declared arrests
I already have been made in the
f case and trial by courtmartial will
fake place immediately.
“It was most unfortunate that
Vice-Consule Imrie was wearing a
Persian cap at the time he ap
proached the fountain,” he contin
ued, explaining that the ‘mob un
doubtedly took him for a member
of a sect of religious order now
creating a great deal of feeling
against the Mohammedans.”
Describing the case as a horrible
tragedy, Mr. Topakyon expressed
sorrow “for what has occurred and
1 am more deeply distressed for the
reason that the relations between
the United States and Persia have
been most fiyendly for more than
a century.”
“I can assure your people,” the
envoy said, “that the people of my
country extend their sympathy and
that everything possible will be
done to offer redress and give the
United States complete satisfac
tion.” ts

PEACH SITUATION
IS IMPROVING
MACON, JULY 21.—Improve
ment in the fruit situation in Middle
Georgia is expected the coming week
Elberta peaches, the prize Georgia
crop will get moving in quantities
and watermelon shipments are pre
dicted to bring, better returns than
for the last week or so.
Abandonment of the Georgia
Belle crop and slowing down of
shipments for several days of last ]
week is believed to have given the
terminal markets opportunity to
I consume the vast number of peach
es that flooded them. Elbertas havo
| always brought good prices and
■ growers are hoping to recoup their
recent losses on this variety.
Many shippers have been disap
pointed this season but local authori
ties say that the low prices were
caused by the enormous croy that
was raised. The ripening of the
fruit also came later and gave un
usual competition for Arkansas, ttie
Carolinas and Alabama.
Things are much brighter now,
however, and an effort is to be made
by the Georgia Peach Growers’ Ex
change to so route the cars of El
bertas that no one market will he
glutted but the peaches will be
evenly distributed over the consum
ing territory.
Watermelon traffic is expected to
greatly increase this week. Inter
mittent cars have been moving from
the vicinity of Macon but the move-

system, is taken into an independ
ent school district, the control of
the schools shall remain in the city
authorities of the town. Repre
sentative Huxford would make the
same provision for all towns with
local school systems, regardless of
population.
Announcement was made in the
lower house that a half dozen
measures have been finally enacted
and are ready for the signature of
the governor.
Tomorrow, the Atlanti viadust
bill to amend the city charter to
permit of construction of viaducts
over railroad tracks on twd down
town street crossing, is scheduled
for a hearing in the senate.
Both houses have heard first
reading of a resolution seeking ap
proval of the measure pending in
the national congress to authorize
creation of a national department
of education and to provide for
financing it. An immediate vote
on the measure was forestalled in
the senate when it was ordered
committed to the committee on
deucation. It is talked about the
education. It is talged about the
corridors of the statehouse that un
doubtedly there will develop a
fight against the resolution when
it is brought up again in the lower
house.
Consideration of the bill to cre
ate a state port has been delayed
again in the senate, it being defer
red until July 30.
SEED POTATO FIELDS

fore digging potatoes this fall. This
is in according with existing state
law, and applications for inspec
tions should be made immediately
to the board at Atlanta. There will
be no charge made for these in
spections, provided written appli
cations are received by the board
before inspectors are assigned to
this task and their itineraries work
ed out by the board. . .
ESCAPED LUNATIC
! ADMITS KILLING
KEARNEY, N. J. July 21—-Jacou
Herman, who escaped Monday from
an insane asylum, has admitted to
• the police here that he had crimin
j ally assaulted eight-year-old Francis
J. McDonald, whose mutilated body
found near his home at Port Rich
mond, Staten Island, Tuesday night.
Herman denied, however, that he
had killed the boy.
! The escaped asylum inmate was
picked up earlier in the day by two

who heard his weird confession were
inclined to believe that he had imag
ined the crime, but are investigating
the tale to see if it can be confirm
ed.

FOUR GENERATIONS
Texas Lady Says Her Family
Has Been Taking Thedford’s
Black-Draught, When
Needed, for Many Years.
Alto, Texas.—“We inherited the use
of Black-Draught in our family,” says
Mrs. Mary Shuptrine, who lives near
here on R. F. D. 2. “My grandmother
was an old woman when she died
about ten years ago, and she had been
using it literally ever since I can re
member. She gave it to her children
and grandchildren for biliousness and
stomach complaints, so when I went
to housekeeping we just naturally used
it, too.
“I give it to my children for a
purgative whenever they need one,
and we are never without it. Made
into tea, it surely is fine. It’s the best
home remedy for headache and consti
pation I know of.”
During over 80 years of its con
tinued popularity, Black-Draught has
become the standard liver medicine in
many thousands of homes, where it
has been found of g-eat benefit in the
treatment of constipation, biliousness,
indigestion and other common liver,
stomach and bowel complaints. Ten
million packages of Black-Draught are
now sold a year, as more and more
people are learning of the value of
this well-known remedy.
Insist on Thedford’s, the only genu
ine Black-Draught powdered Hvei
medicine. At all dealers’. NC-154,

BACK TO JAIL FOR
‘NICKY’ ARNSTEIN
NEW YORK, JULY 21-Jules W.
“Nicky” Arnstein, engineer of a
Wall street bond theft scheme, and
his chief lieutenant, Nick Cohen,
were ordered returned to the fed
eral prison at Leavenworth today on
their continued refusal to tell the
authorities the name of a local man
who has a million dollars worth of
the stolen securities.
District Attorney Banton and
United States Attorney Hayward de
clared their patience had been ex
hausted. None the wiser for their
several days’ questioning of the pah'
th e attorneys obtained an order
from Federal Judge Knox for the
immediate return of Arnstein and
Cohen to Leavenworth to complete
two sentences imposed on them in
Washington for having transported
the stolen bonds to that city. '
Never marry a woman who
smokes cigarets and throws ashes
on the floor for you to sweep up.
“Get together” is the advice given
politicians. You can’t get much by
yourself.
