Government bays It- CORN MARKET AND ELEVATOR PLANNED MOVEMENT TO ESTABLISH FA CILITIES MANUFACTURING SURPLUS OF PRODUCTS STATE NEWS~OF INTEREST Brief News Items Gathered Here And There From All Section Os The State Atlanta. —A movement was recently nunched by the Atlanta Commercial Exchange to establish facilities in At lanta for marketing the very large sur plus of corn produced in Georgia this year. J. W. Bachman, president of the ex change, reported to the directors the results of an investigation of the dif ferent angles of the situation, which he has been making several weeks, and was requested by the directors to pro ceed with the movement with all pos sible dispatch, which he will do. Two things are necessary, said Mr. Bachman, to give the farmers of Geor gia adequate facilities for marketing their surplus of corn and any other grains they may produce. These are: 1 Contract market, or grain ex hange, where authoritative prices re flecting the general grain market are quoted daily, and where buyers and sellers may be brought together. 2. Grain elevator, where corn pro duced in Georgia, and oats and other grains, may be shucked, shelled, grad ed, stored and warehouse receipts is sued. , Discussing the details of the move ment, Mr. Bachman said: “Georgia this year has produced near ly ninety million bushels of corn, plac ing her among the first ten corn states of the Union. We have never elabo rated in this state our facilities for marketing our surplus corn crop, and now we find our farmers confronted with a marketing problem. They are compelled to market their corn haphaz ard, finding customers wherever they can. “The Atlanta commercial exchange embraces corn and grain. It has de cided to undertake the creation of adequate facilities for marketing corn on a great commercial scale. Under the Capper-Tincher bill passed recent ly by congress, the secretary of agri culture in Washington is authorized to designate contract markets for grain where exchanges or boards of trade are in existence, and where grain is sold in sufficient volume to reflect the market. We are now in touch with Secretary Wallace in Washington and with our state department of agricul ture in Atlanta for the purpose of hav ing a grain contract market created here under the Capper-Tincher act. “We hope to be able in a compara tively short time to give the relief so sorely needed. Our farmers were ask ed to diversify and produce food. They responded to that appeal, and now they are asking a market for their surplus. It is the duty of commerce and fi nance to come to their aid..’ Unique Way Os Stating His Effects Savannah. —“A little corn, some fod der, a few velvet beans, a wife and eleven children,” is the way that J. H. Mercer, a farmer of Glenwood, stated his effects in the federal application for bankruptcy. He declared that he was Rooseveltian in the matter of help ing out the census, but that his cash had not accumulated in proportion to his family and his liabilities of more than five thousand forced him to seek temporary relief in the bankrupt court —till he can get ea fresh start. Officers For New Steamboat Company Columbus.—A. L. Kunze has been elected president of Columbus’ new steamboat company: W. E. Page, vice president, and A. S. Spivey, manager. These officers were elected at a meet ing of the Merchants and Planters’ Steamboat company, held recently, at which holdings of that concern were absorbed by the new company, the lat ter to operate under the old charter for the present. W, C. Neill, W. E. Page, H. R. McClalchey, A. F. Kunze, O. W. Donell, F. G. Power and A. S. Spivey were named as the board of di rectors. It was determined to call for the first payment of stock, this to be followed by the inauguration of a com plete line of steamers between Colum bus and the Gulf. Monument To World War Soldiers Americus.—The Woman’s Auxiliary Os the American Legion at Richland will establish a library as a memorial to Wooster and Stewart county sol diers of the world war. Funds for es tablishing the library will be secured through lyceum production, and the operation of a booth at the Stewart- Webster fair during October. Mrs. Curtis Dixon is at the head of the movement. Jaywalker Bounds Resemble Gridiron Atlanta. —Downtown Atlanta sharply resembles a football gridiron these days—the police department having marked off boundary lines for pedes trians at all important street intersec tions. The penalty for going “out of bounds” is $2 cash, but since the lines were drawn on the streets remarkably few police cases have been made. The lines will be rew'hitened from time to time, and this method is believed by many to accomplish a great deal more than the making of hundreds of court case 3 against unwitting offender* THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. WILL MAKE FIGHT ON MOB VIOLENCE Women Heartily Declare They Find No Extenuation For Crime. Atlanta.—With the organization of a special section of the Georgia stare committee on inter-racial co-operation composed entirely of women, a score of prominent women of Georgia have Issued an appeal to all citizens of the state to uphold the enforcement of law. to banish groups who would take into their own hands the execution of justice and to practice a single stan dard of morals both in the white and negro races. This appeal heartily condemns the protection of womanhood by criminal methods, stating that “if there is any one crime more dangerous than an other it is that crime that strikes at the root of, and undermines constituted authority, breaks all laws and re straints of civilization, substitutes violence and masked irresponsibility for established justice and deprives society of a sense of protection against barbarism.’’ Farmers Urged To Sow Fall Oats Atlanta. —Advising Georgia farmers to sow fall oats, J. N. Harper, director of the Southern Soil Improvement committee, recently explained the ben efits of this crop, and gave direchons for its planting. “If you want to start a rotation crop, you cannot do better than to sow oats between September 15 and November 15,” he said. “Land that yields a half-bale of cotton per acre will yield at least 30 busheld of oats, and much better returns may be expected, where the soil is well pre pared, and good seed grain used for sowing. There Is a three-way profit in ots. First, it furnishes grain for live stock: prevents the roughing and erosion of the land during winter, and gathers in its tissues the plant foods that would have been lost by leaching duiing mild winter days.” Cour.ty Police Capture 200 Gals. Liquor Atlanta.—A high-powered automobile occupied by two men and two women and containing approximately two hun dred quarts of assorted liquors, said by the county police to be some of the choicest ever captured in Atlanta, was seized by county police recently on the Jonesboro road, near Poole's creek.

Fein of Boston, Mass., and the women, who gave their names of Mrs. Agnes Sherman and Mrs Lillian Rowe, stated that they were from Miami, Florida. Sealed Paving Bonds Bids Received Atlanta. —In accordance with an an nouncement received several days ago, B Graham West, city comptroller, seal ed bids were received recently by J. R. Seawright, chairman of the citjr fi nance committee, on municipal paving bonds in the amount of $136,500, in denominations of SSOO and SI,OOO, inter est at 6 per cent, payable semi-annu ally. The bids will be examined by the fin; nee committee, and accepted or rejected at its next meeting. These are ten-year bonds, made legal by recent act of the legislature, and are for paving only. Carter To Savannah For Safe-Keeping Waycross.—Mage Carter, who was sentenced to hang for the murder of Sheriff John Robertson of Pierce coun ty, was carried to Savannah for safe keeping immediately after the sentence was pronounced. The day of the ex ecution was set for October 28. It is probable that a change of venue will be asked for the trial of Roy CarteT, brother of Mage, who was indicted wltl him. New Stockade At Dawson Dawson. —The county commission ers have decided to move the convict stockade to Dawson and have purchas ed a lot in the eastern part of the city to erect the necessary buildings. They secured the land from Mr. B. L. John son and paid $6,000 for it. G. Campbell Morgan Reaches Athens Athens. —Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, the noted English divine and scholar of the Bible and for many years pas tor of Westminster chapel in London, together with his wife, son and two daughter, reached Athens recently, and will make his home here. Doctor Mor gan has entered his daughter in Lucy Cobb institute and his son Is con templating entering the University o’ Georgia.

Mage Carter Asks For New Trial Blackshear. —Attorneys for Mage Carter, convicted of the murder of Sheriff John Robertson of Pierce coun ty, and sentenced by Judge Highsmith to be hanged October 28, has entered a motion for a new trial. Carter has been sent to Savannah for safe-keep ing. The jury deliberated for only 45 minutes before returning a verdict ol guilty of murder, without a recommen dation for mercy. The case against Roy Carter, brother of the convicted man, goes on the docket next —withiD a few days VOTE FOR STRIKE ON WAGE GUT EWELL MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT OF DECISION OF SIX FEDERAT ED SHOP CRAFTS UNIONS MEN ARE TOLD TO PREPARE When New Working Rules Are Pro mulgated Another Strike Vote Will Be Taken Chicago.—Railroad shopmen be longing to the six federated shop crafts unions have voted to strike against the general railroad wage re duction of July 1, 1921, but will defer any action until the promulgation of working rules now pending before the United States railroad labor board when another vote will be taken on acceptance or rejection of the rules. This announcement was officially made by B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts organizations at the mass meeting of Chicago shop workers re cently. Belief that a stronger fight could be made If a' strike is called, with the preservation of the shopmen’s working rules as one of the goals, led to the decision to withhold a strike call for the present, Mr. Jewell said. He and other union speakers coun selled the men to wait until the en tire wage and rules situation was be fore them rather than rush into a strike which Mr. Jewell declared the railroad managements desired. “We can make a real fight on the rules proposition when we might noi have the full support of otli,er branch es of railway employees on a wage fight alone,” Mr. Jewell said. “If we want to protect our best interests, we must wait until the time is oppor tune. But if the labor board releases all the remaining rules to be acted upon at one time then we will have the whole matter before us. We will need only one vote —to accept or re ject the rules —to determine what will be done.” This announcement was greeted with applause and questioners jump ed in all parts of the hall to press for further details. Answering one question, Mr. Jew r ell asserted that the shop crafts would have the co-opera tion of other organizations, including tlje big four brotherhoods, if a strike were called and urged his audience to prepare for action. The strike vote, completed August 1, was announced as showing a con stitutional majority against the wage reduction which went into effect July 1. This was the first official con firmation of the result which has been rumored for sometime. Condemna tion of the operation of the labor board and of its decisions was voiced by all speakers at the meeting. Mr. Jewell charged that the railroads were attempting to use the board to take an unfair advantage of the in dustrial situation. The board’-} meth od of drafting rules to supplant the national agreement, a war-time meas ure, under which the employees work at present, was asserted to be imprac tical because only seven of the 186 rules have been substituted. Mr. Jewell said he would demand of the board that “for once it meet a situation in a practical way,” and announce the remaining rules simul taneously instead of piecemeal. “When the board announces the substitute rules, our committee will take a ballot,” Mr. Jewell said. “If the rules are not satisfactory and the ballot says so, we will take the result to the railroads. If they re fuse to grant our reasonable de mands they will have to stand re sponsible and answer to the American people.” Bolvian Natives Dip Oil With Pa'ls Washington.—OH is so plentiful in some sections of Bolivia that natives take it from surface holes in buckets for local use, according to department of commerce information from Trade Commissioner W. L. Schurz, just jub lished. The accumulations result from natural seepage, and are most In evidence in the country lying east of the Santa-Crub-Yacuiba trail. Ger mans are recovering their former Im portance in Bolivian business, Schurz stated. German Reichsrath Ratifies Treaty Berlin. —The treaty of peace be tween Germany and the United States has been formally ratified by the German reichsrath, or upper cham ber. The reichrath, or imperial coun cil, which has just ratified the peace treaty with the United States, was organized under the new constitution of Germany for the representation of the component states. It consists of sixty-three members. The reichstag, the legislature of the empire, super seded the temporary national assem bly. Cotton Handlers Return To Work New Orleans.—Members of the four striking unions of cotton handlers voted recently to accept a proposal of arbitration, submitted by the Cot ton exchange handling committee, and pending the decision of the board will return to work soon. This strike began nearly three weeks ago and virtually stopped the movement of cotton here. Under the terms of the recent agreement, the striking unions will name one arbitrator, the cotton exchanges one and these two arbi trators iolntiv will select the third Stories of Great Scouts By ELMO SCOTT WATSON (©. 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) OLD JIM BRIDGER, TELLER OF “TALL YARNS” “Yes sir, up tlmr In the I seed peetrified trees a-growln’ with peetrified birds on ’em u-singiu’ peet rified songs," once declared old Jim Bridger, scout, trapper and fur trad er. He was one of the first white men to visit the natural wonders of what is now Yellowstone National park. After his return he gave an account of what he had seen to an eastern magazine writer. Two of the writer's articles were published. Then the edi tor refused to print any more, saying that ills readers would not believe such Baron Munchausen tales. Ev erything the old trapper had told the magazine writer was true, and when Bridger found that ills stories were no longer believed, he began telling oth er yarns which did not always stick so closely to the truth. One day in the Yellowstbne, he said ho came upon an elk grazing within easy gun range. He fired, but the elk neither dropped nor seemed alarmed by the shot. The scout reloaded and tired again—with the same result. Then he became angry. Picking up a rock, lie threw it at the unlmal. The rock struck some invisible barrier and dropped to the ground. When Bridg er reached the place where it lay he found that lie had been shooting at the elk through a mountain of pefectly transparent crystal! Bridger was the first white man to see tile Great Salt Lake in Utah. Tills was in 1824, and he told some won derful stories about the lake. One of them was about the great snowfall in the winter of 1830, which covered the whole Salt Lake valley to a depth of 70 feet. All of the buffalo perished. “When spring came, all I had to do was to tumble ’em into the lake an’ I had enough pickled buffalo for my self an’ the whole Ute nation for years,” Bridger declared. Bridger was known as "Old Gabe,” or “The Old Man of the Mountains” by his fellow trappers, and the Crow Indians called him “Casapy —Ute Blanket Chief.” “Gineral, whar you don’t see no In juns, thar they’re snrtln to be thick est,” he once told Gen. Henry Carring ton, and the general found it good ad vice. When the engineers for the Union Pacific railroad were uncertain about the easiest route through the Itocky mountains, they sent for Old Jim. He took a piece of old brown paper and with a piece of charcoal marked the route which they were to' follow. Later they found that he had not made a single mistake in mapping the route. Bridger died in 1881, and is burled in Kansas City. OLD JIM BAKER’S DUEL WITH A * FRENCHMAN Next to Uncle Bill Hamilton’s duel with the Englishman, the strungest one in frontier history was that which Old Jim Baker, friend of Kit Carson, Jim Bridger and Uncle Dick Wootton, fought with a Frenchman in the early days of Wyoming. Buker had estab lished a trading store where the Ore gon trail crossed the Green river. He was doing a good business with Uie emigrants passing over the trail until a Frenchman opened up a rival store nearby. A quarrel between the two men soon resulted. The quarrel ended in a challenge. Botli men ran to their cabins, seized pistols and from the doors of their cabins, which were only about 100 yards apart, they began firing at each other. Neither was hurt ut the first shot, for both the Frenchman and Old Jim had been drinking heavily and their aim wus unsteady. Then the duelists retired to their rooms, loaded their guns again and, taking another drink to keep up their courage, they opened tire once more. The bullets flew wild. For severul hours the duel continued, euch man becoming more unsteady all the time. At last, finding themselves unable to hit each other, they gave It up in disgust, and the oddest duel in his tory ended. Baker was born in Illinois Ii 1808, and went west with a fur-trading party about 1823. Old Jim was u mighty hunter. At one time he w'as attacked by two full grown grizzly bears. The old scout was armed only with his long hunting knife, but after a terrific struggle, in which he was almost torn to pieces, he killed both bears. In 1857 Baker was a guide and scout for Gen. Albert Sidney Johns ton on his expedition against the Mor mons in Utah. Returning from that trip, he wandered back to Colorado and became one of the first settlers of Denver. Later in life Old Jim drift ed to northern Colorado. On the banks of the Little Snake river he built a block house, which became a rendezvous for all of his old trapping companions and a place of refuge when the Indians went on the war path. Baker died In 1808 after a life that had been filled with more adventure than that of any other man of his time, excepting possibly Old Jim Bridger. whose close friend he was.
