FAVORS Mill LAW
Refutes that Charge of the At¬
lanta Constitution Sent out
by Its Washington
Correspondent
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29.—The
very prompt and emphatic ap¬
proval given by Judge W. T.
Newman of the United States
District Court for the northern
circuit of Georgia, to Senator
Hoke Smith in connection with
the federal judgeship bill now
pending before a conference com¬
mittee of congress, has eliminat¬
ed all possibility for the sena¬
tor’s antagonists to make politi¬
cal capital out of the matter’ by
charging that the bill is designed
to oust Judge Newman from the
bench.
The publication of this state¬
ment in one of the newspapers
antagonistic to Senator Smith
was followed very quickly by or
interview from Judge Newman i:
which he stated that he thor¬
oughly approved >the bill, anc
that he has written to Senator
Smith to urge the passage of the
bill. In commenting upon the
bill, Judge Newman says:
“Instead of being opposed t
the bill, I am very much in f /o»
of it, and have written Sen Mo:
Hoke Smith to that effect. The
present bill was drawn by a :om
rnittee of federal judges, or a.
least in consultation with them,
and is heartily approved by tin
federal judges who are affected
by its provisions.”
The bill provides that the sala
ries of district judges shall be in
creased to $7,500 a year, and al
lows a judge to retire on full p:n
when he has reached the are o'
70 years. Judge Newman ha
already signified his in tent, o . to
retire as .soon as the bill beco .ne.
a law.

BOLSHEVIKI DRIVE
AMERICANS BACK
TO ESCAPE BEING SURROUNDED,
U. S. TROOPS RETREAT
THROUGH SNOW
SUPPLIES WERE ABANDONED
Americans So Hard Pressed, It Was
Only By Ruse That They
Got Away
London.—Allied forces on the front
south of Archangel, mainly American
and Russian troops, ha^e evacuated
the town of Shenkrusk under Bolshe¬
vik pressure and withdrawn to a
shorter line north of the town, ac¬
cording to an official statement from
(he British war office on operations
in northern Russia.
The Americans and Russians had
withdrawn to ShenTcursk to avoid be¬
ing outflanked by the Bolsheviki, who
attacked them on January 22-23 after
a bombardment of three days.
Bolsheviki Strike At Four Columns
Archangel.—The Bolsheviki are now
on the offensive with infantry, or ar
UUorv, or both, against four of the
seven thin columns of the allies and
Russians which have penetrated south¬
ward through the frozen forest swamps
of the province of Archangel.
The enemy entered Shenkursk, 190
miles south of Archangel, while the
tired column of Americans, Russians
and British which had evacuated Shen¬
kursk, marched in a detour over the
deep snow,' evading a force of several
hundred of (he enemy, who waited on
(he main high read to trap the col¬
umn in its retreat’.
In good spirits, despite long marches
in flue cold and ten days of hard fight¬
ing, the Americans and the oiher
troops of the allied force are at She
govari, approximately 30 miles north
of Shenkursk on the Vaga river. The
enemy apparently is sending patrols to
follow the retreating troops, but no
new attacks' had been made on this
sector.
The withdrawal from Shenkursk was
carried out succes fully . A number of
wounded in the American hospital
were removed on sleds. There was lit¬
tle or no interference from the Bol¬
shevik!.
A large number of peasants and
Russian partisan troops also moved out
with the American forces.
Allied headquarters here in announc¬
ing that the evacuation of Shenkrusk
was to avoid the possibility of a long
siege, revealed that it was only by
a ruse that an American battalion and
other allied forces succeeded in es¬
caping from being surrounded

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1919.
UIIDEFE1IE0 TEAM 10
PLAY HERE
Covington Defeats Monroe A.
and M„ in The First Game
of the Season Here on
Last Friday.
The basket ball game between
Covington High and Monroe A.
& M., was of rather
charater.
Although it was the
game of the season for the Cov¬
ington High School boys, they
showed that they had the true
spirit of clean playing.
The Monroe A. and M., boys,
although they were “run away
with’ ’ from the very start
thowed a persistence that was
truly remarkable.
White, of the S. H. S./was the
star of the performance, scoring
foureen field goals, while Lester,
bis running mate, was a close
second, with eight field goals.
Brown and Aiken also played an
excellent game. The entire C.
H. S., team played good ball and
every player was right in the
nidst of the game at all times.
Stephens, played the best game
for the A. and M., scoring al)
five of their points.
The game was remarkably
free from roughness and illegal
plays, only three foul goals be¬
ing called during the whole
game, and they were of a tech
cal nature.
Following is the line-up and
score:
C. H. S. (52.) Fifth Dist. A. &
M. (5.)
White, 28 ........Stephens, 5
Brown, 8, ............ Kelley
Lester, 16,............Bryant
Belcher, ............ Slatton
Aiken, ............ Hendricks
Referee, Lieutenant Melton,
Scorers, Wallace and Morris.
Timekeeper, Smith.
The Covington Hi registered
its second victory Wedneisday
afternoon when they journeyed
over to Winder and defeated
the Winder High quintet by a
score of 22 to 12.
The game was fast and hotly
contested, but clean and free
from fouls. The Winder lads
played like a whirlwind, but the
passing of the Covington boys
was too much for them.
Lester, of Covington, was the
star of the game, playin the en¬
tire field at all times and scor¬
ing six field goals, or a total of
as many points as bis opponents
registered all together. Church-i
bill. who was playing his first
game shone at guard, /keeping
his men well covered and break¬
ing up passes in great style.
The most effective work done
on the Winder team was by Ed¬
wards and Harrison. The Tat¬
ter kept White so well covered
that he failed to score a single
goal, which goes to show he is !
on the job.
Brown, of Covington, and
Hill, for Winder, both played a
good game and their passes
were among the best seen dur¬
ing the entire game.
Following is the line-up and
score: i
Brown, 8.........Edwards, 6
White............... Hill, 2.
Lester, 12..........Tackson,
Churchill, 2....... Harrison,
Aiken.............. Radford,
On Monday afternoon of next
week the Covington team will
again meet the Winder boys on

FOOD CONDITIONS ARE

E
Bakeries Now Enabled to Pro¬

Not Resort to So Many
Substitutes. ^
f
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29.—Since
the close of the war, and the re¬
moval of restrictions on food¬
stuffs, a gradual change of con¬
ditions is being noted, both pro¬
ducer and consumer being affect¬
ed by the after-the-war condi¬
tions already.
Bakeries in particular have
been affected, as they are now
enabled to produce a noi-mal out¬
put and are relieved of the ne¬
cessity of finding substitutes for
flour and sugar. As a result the
bakeries are expanding their
business.
It is interesting to note, how¬
ever, that the efforts of one of
the grocery concerns of Atlanta
to produce a good bread at nor¬
mal price during the war has re¬
sulted in a permanent enlarge¬
ment of the business along .these
lines until it has become neces¬
sary to erect a bakery building
of its own. This grocery con¬
cern, which operates a chain of
100 stores, gave the contract re¬
cently for $150,000 bakery build¬
ing to A. Ten Eyck Brown, the
architect, and A. V. Gude, Jr.,
the contractor. The building con¬
tains four stories and is built of
reinforced concrete. It has three
electric elevators, new oil burn¬
ing ovens and modem bakery
machinery and coffee-roasting
machinery.

Practically all the cotton has
