GEORGIA SWINE GROWERS
TO MEET AT TENNILLE
Every farmer, stock raiser and bus
iness man in Georgia is invited to at
tend :he Georgia Swine Growers’ As
sociation that meets in Tennille, Ga.,
Thursday and Friday, April 6th and
7th. On this occasion some of the
most prominent men in the siate will
deliver addresses that will be of vital
interest to the farmers of Lamar and
other counties of Georgia. Among
fhe most prominent will be Governor
Thos. W. Hardwick, Hon. A. M.
Soule, of Athens; W. C. Lassiter,
editor of the Progressive Farmer; C.
A. Cobb, editor Southern Ruralist;
W. G. Sutlive, editor Savannah Press;
G. F. Hunnicutt, editor Southern Cul
tivator; Dr. P. F. Bahnsen, husban
dry department, State College of
Agriculture.
The purpose of the Georgia Swine
Growers’ Association is to promote
the raising of better hogs. No one
particular breed is advocated, for
.here are more than a half dozen
standard breeds that are being ad
vocated, according to the fancy of
the grower. Statistics show that
fifty per cent of the farms of Geor
gia today are without brood sows.
It is hoped as well as predicted that
during the next three years that
Georgia’s annual hog production will
be doubled.
Bankers in various sections are
lending farmers money with which
to purchase registered boars and sows
with which to start their herds of
pure bred stock. Since the organiza
tion of the Swine Growers’ Associa
:ion several thousand head of pure
bred hogs have been sold to the farm
ers of this state. The result i s that
our fafmers are giving more interest
to this important industry and in a
short while a wave of prosperity will
sweep the state, notwithstanding the
boll weevil.
Each and every fanner should ar
range to visit Tennille and attend
thi3 meeting of the Swine Growers’
Association. Much is to be learned
from the eminent speakers, how to
raise better hogs, grow feedstuff's and
he proper method of breeding and
grading.
At this meeting there will be sold
six to ten carloads of fat hogs to
the packers, grown by farmers of
Washington and adjacent counties.
There will also be several carloads
of pure bred hogs grown by Georgia
farmers on display and the prices
will be in reach of the farmers with
limited means. It is the opportunity
many have been waiting for to se
cure fine brood sows and boars with
which to start private herds.
The entertainment feature will be
well provided for and a barbecue will
he served all visitors. There will
also be a banquet on Thursday night,
to which the public will be invited.
Mr. H. M. Franklin, Chairman of
Publicity Committee, is well known
to many citizens of Barnesvillle and
Lamar county and will be glad to see
a number of our citizens attend the
meeting in his town.

Light and Water Board reported
that a small leak had been found in
the city resevoir and that the same
was being repaired, also that it was
their intention to place some needed
arc lights and upon motion the same
was left to the discretion of this
board.
Messrs. W. A. Sealy, T. O. Mat
thews and J. F. Porch were present
and asked to be heard in the inter
ests of the meat markets of the city.
They asked that more restrictions
and a higher license be placed on the
meat wagons being operated inde
pendent of the regular established
markets, with whom it was difficult
for them to compete under the exist
ing conditions. They asked that
Council give them more protection
by placing on the wagons a higher
license and requiring a more sani
tary handling of meats, as. is resuired
of them by both the city and state. '
The Mayor stated that the state
inspector of meats had recently made
an inspection of all the markets of
the city and had left with him a copy
of ordinance that he felt this city
needed and urged its adoption, and
it was the sense of Council that more
restrictions and a better sanitary
handling of meats was needed in
view of the fact that summer was
approaching, thereby making it more
important that some definite regula
tions be placed on all handlers of
fresh meats.
Alderman Batson gave notice that
he would at next regular meeting of
council, introduce an ordinance regu
lating the sale, slaughter and hand
ling of fresh meats in the city.
Upon motion and passed it was
agreed to postpone any action affect
ing the meat markets or meat wagons
until the new ordinance was intro
duced and adopted.
The question *of the changing of
ordinance on wagons selling or tak
ing orders for merchandise in the
city was discussed and it was the
sense of Council that no change be
made in same, the license of $50.00
to remain as fixed.
Chairman Street Committee re
ported that arrangements were be
ing made to produce additional top
soil for Atlanta street and upon mo
tion and passed this matter was left
to their discretion with power to act.
Reports of Clerk and Treasurer
and Chief of Police for the quarter
ending March Bth, were read and
upon motion ordered filed and made
part of minutes. The purchase of
uniform for extra policeman was dis
cussed and it was agreed that the
purchase of same was a necessity and
upon motion the purchase was or
dered made provided the’ extra of
ficer remain in the service of the
city for next three to five months,

In the Issue of January 28th, 1922, Mr t L swis Harper Discusses
Newspaper Attacks
On Public Utilities
Under the Caption, “Your Daily Paper: The ‘News’
It Serves You,” Mr. Harper Writes:
“The best illustration of the demagogic
method of building newspaper properties
is afforded by the war on the public utility
corporations which has been raging for 30
years or more. The writer achieved very
marked circulation gains in the editorial
management of two afternoon papers, due
principally to an aggressive attitude to
ward the traction companies in these cities.
“This attitude was honestly assumed and
the corporations had invited attack by their
practices, but in retrospect, it appears that
their sins and the circulation gains achieved
by attacking them were out of all propor
tion to the just balance of news and edi
torial treatment. In other words, the evils
attacked were insignificant compared to
those which were ignored. Scores of news
papers in the United States have been
made by fighting the utility corporations.
“Formerly, many newspaper men re
garded such a course as positive proof of
the honesty- of a newspaper or its publisher.
The public utilities were rich and were sup
posed to be powerful. They were in fact
never powerful, they only seemed to be,
because they had the support of some pro
fessional politicians—the first to desert
them when they found the pickings were
better on the other side of the plum tree.
“The investors in these corporations were
usually absentees and generally Americans
of the ‘firs* settler’ stocks. The utility
corporations were not heavy advertisers, as
they were natural monopolies. Their own
ers could exert no such racial or group
pressure on the newspapers as is brought
to' bear when other kinds of business are
subjected to attack —on the rare occasions
when other big local interests are put on
the editorial grill.

‘‘The native American has not learned
to organize and act as a group in dealing
with the press. Many of the newcomers
bring such a capacity with them or speed
ily acquire it over here. The public utili
ties were rich, but when their legally fixed
rates encountered the depreciated cur
rency of the war period they became poor
overnight. In this misfortune, of course,
they differed no whit from plain individ
uals. SOME NEWSPAPERS ARE STILL
SEEKING CIRCULATION BY ASSAIL
ING AND EVEN NAGGING THE PUB
LIC UTILITIES. POLITICIANS ARE
STILL HOUNDING THEM, AND AL
THOUGH THEY MAY BE BANKRUPT
THRICE OVER AND IN THE HANDS
OF HARASSED RECEIVERS, THEY
STILL PAY RICH DIVIDENDS TO
THEIR ENEMIES IN THE FORM OF
NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION AND PO
LITICAL JOBS.
“HOWEVER, HOSTILITY TO PUBLIC
UTILITIES IS BECOMING SHOPWORN.
THE MORE SOPHISTICATED ARE BE
COMING SKEPTICAL ABOUT PUBLIC
UTILITY BAITING AS A PROOF OF
PUBLIC SPIRIT OR INTEGRITY. The
people have begun to notice that newspa
pers which have valiantly assailed the pub
lic utilities have been careful not to at
tack any retail business throughout the
era of high prices. Profiteering in more
homely forms has escaped the scrutiny and
criticism which was heaped upon public
utilities. The newspaper reading public
has also become aware that it is easier
and less expensive to lay the onus of high
prices and other ills, that the public be
lieves it is suffering, on the distant cor
poration managements or Wall Street than
on folks nearer hom^”
