FRIENDSHIPSUBJECT
OF CRISP’S ADDRESS
‘Cover Your Fellows’ Faults
With Mantle of Charity,’ He
Tells Rotarians Here
Congressman Charles R. Crisp
addressed local Rotarians Wednes
day on the subject of “Fellowship,”
at the request of the chairman of
the Rotary fellowship committee,
Tim Furlow, who presented the
speaker.
‘‘Fellowship is friendeship,” said
Mr. Crisp, ‘and friendship is one of
the most ennobling emotions of
life’.’
True friendship, said th e speak
er, was that close bond of sympathy
that existed between David and
Jonathan and between Damon and
Pythias, the story of these friends
being told by Judge Crisp. ‘‘From
these four friends we see that true
friendship must be based on con
fidence, high esteem and good
will.”
‘‘lf you would have friends, you
must be friendly without friend we
shrivel and dry up.” said the speak
er. “If you would be a friend, you
must love your fellows; you must
render a useful service; you must
overlook faults and look for the
good that is in our fellowman.
Sensitiveness is one of the bar
riers to true fellowship. The sen
sitive man often takes offense when
none is intended. Fellows, Lt
friendly; don’t be sensitive; don’t
look for trouble—there’s plenty of
that without looking for it.
“You know we usually find
what we look for. An old fellow
driving through th e country stop
ped in a village and asked of an
inhabitant what sort of folks lived
there. He was asked what kind of
folks lived where the traveler camo
from. ‘They ar e cross and crabbed
mean and bad,’ said the traveler.
‘Well, said the villager that’s the
sort of folks you’d find here?
“Later another traveler came
along and he too, asked about the
kind of folks in the village. ‘I come
from a town where there’s lot of
good, kindly, fine people? said the
second traveler. ‘Well, that’s the
kind you’ll find here,” said the vil
lager.
The mayor of London stopped
his' carriage and said a kindly word
to a street beggar. When asked
later why he did so, the mayor said:
‘But for the grace of a good Goa
I might be that man and he might
be in my place?
‘There’s a lot in what the mayor
said, and still I believ e the Lord
helps the fellow who helps himsef
Along life’s pathway. Fine clothes
and big homes do not make a man.

counsel brought out but three sal
ient points:
That thq slayir-j- had been com
mitted because the defendants v. rc
desperately in need of funds with
which to settle large gambling
debts.
That there has be en accumulated
some secret evidence “which, be
cause of its nature can not be of
fered in open court,” and,
That the defense may repudiate
the confessions and attempt to
show that the crime was not com
mitted in the manner which up to
this time virtually has been taken
for granted.
At the afternoon session the
prosecution summoned Dr. Joseph
Springer, Coroner's physician and
surgeon of Ccok County, who per
formed the autopsy on tie Franks
boy’s hody.
He established the corpus delicti
and gave a technical description of
the injuries which the autopsy had
revealed. This included two wounds
and two bruises on the head, caus
ed by blows ■ f rom a blunt instr;:-1
ment, he said, and several scratches I
on the face and the torso. He gave*
it as his opinion that the boy had
been suffocated, and that this to
gether with th<- head injuries caus
ed death.
Jacob Franks, father of the
murdered boy was the first witness.
Except for an-occasional half-in
voluntary clutching at his coliar by
Loeb, neither defendant exhibited
emotion. Neither looked at Franks
as the aged amn, his face lined with
grief and his eyes glazed with
starting tears, sat in the -witness
chair dully identifying the clothes
worn by his little boy the day he
was murdered.
As exhibit after exhibit uas
handed to him, shoes, a stocking a
belt buckle, a clasp pin—his con
trol visibly left him. He coughed
awkwardly- several times before re
plying to prosecution questions;
his fingers clasped and unclasped
nervously as he occasionally looked
straight out into the little court
room to where an elderly woman,
dressed all in black, her motherly
face showing traces of r cent tears
looked blankly ahead. She was

Georgia Delegation in Congress
Asked to Seek Rate Reduc
tions on New Crops
I ATLANTA, July 24—The fol
: lowing resolution by representative
Bennett of Dodge county was intro
duced and adopted by th House oi
the Georgia General Assembly
cdrly this week.
Whereas, the farmers of Geor
gia have been for the past several
years trying to work out a plan
of diversification of crops, in ord
er that they might become free of
te handicap of a one crop system
rmd, ,
Whereas, great progress has been
"attained in this respect, it being
true that in a great many counties
throughout the State, cotton acre
age has been reduced to a mini
mum consistent with modern met
. hods and good judgement in fight
ing the boll weevil, the remainder
of the ..time of the farmers bein’
devoted to raising food stuffs, and,
Whereas, Notwithstanding much
time and great expenditures of
money have been devoted to mak
ing this change in their system of
farming, “farmers generally now
find themselves confronted with a
freight rate that are prohibitory in
carrying on their work of diversi
fication of crops; it being true that
in a great many instances after the
freight is paid on the transporta
tion of a carload of vegetables
there is next to nothing left with
which to pay for producing the
food stuff in making uo the ship
ment, with the result that we find
our farmers in a greatly discourag
ed state, due to the fact that the
net result in a financial v,%y thus
far attained has amounted to little
more than to increase the tonnage
and earnings of the railroads, with
almost a total loss to the farmers.
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the
House of Representatives of the
State of Georgia, the Senate of
Georgia concurring, that the Secre
tary of the Senate and the Clerk of
the House is directed to immediate
ly transmit a copy of the foregoing
resolution to each of our United
Stales Senators and to each of our
Congressmen from Georgia, in or
der that this frightful condition
may be brought directly to the
attention of the Georgia Delegation
•in Congress, that they may proceed
at once to bring the matter to fhc
attention of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, to the end that
such rates may bo prescribed by
ihe Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, as will permit the free move
ment of farm products, growing
out of diversified farming, so that.

HOPE DIMMED FOR
BIENNIAL SESSIONS
ATLANTA, July 24.—With de-
I feat in the house of representatives
j yesterday of 'the Langley bill pro
i viding for a four-year term for gov
ernor and other state officials, hope
! for passage of the companion eco
i nomic measure providing for bien
nial sessions of the state legislature
by constitutional an.tndment was
somewhat dampened. Now that the
lower body has shown adverse senti
ment to the longer term of’office,
it was regarded in many quarters
that other measures along similar
lines would meet a like fate at the
hands, of the legislators during the
- present session.
In the lower house, Representa
tive Harris of Jefferson county, to
day was expected to make another
attempt to get the senate bill pro
viding fqf a state income tax off
the house table and on the calendar
for consideration. Such a motion
was defeated 92 to 78 yesterday.
The bill was passed in the senate
last year and tabled by the house
during the last days of the session.
Some action was scheduled in the
senate today on the question of
abolishing capital punishment in
Georgia. Senator Stovall’s bill to
provide for making life imprison
ment the maximum penalty for
crime committed in this state is set
for special order of business today
and a companion bill by Senator
I’nillips of the Eighteenth district,
has been set to follow disposition
of the Stovall measure. The Phil
lips bill would substitute electro
cution for hanging as a means of
carrying out the death sentence.
New bills continue to flood the
hoppers of the legislative branches
despite the congested situation in
the lower house. However, a large
number of the measures are dealing
with local county matters.
