BRUTALITY BY OFFICERS PRIVATES
CHARGED BY
“Tyranny and Abuse the Rule and not
the Exception in France,” Declares
Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion.
Washington—The Private Soldiers
and Sailors Legion in a letter to Secre
tary Weeks declared that “unless the
records of the war department have
been tampered with” a scrutiny of
them will furnish “all the evidence
necessary to prove conclusively that
tyranny, brutality and abuse were the
rule and not the exception in the atti¬
tude of officers toward enlisted men
in the A. E F. The letter was written
in connection with Mr. Weeks re¬
quest that the American Legion assist
in securing facts relative to alleged
mistreatment of soldiers.
Company funds accumulated to pur¬
chase extra rations for the enlisted
men were “in a large number of cases
embezzled by the officers who had
them in their possession and were dis¬
sipated by officers in drunken orgies
with women and wine,” the letter
charged, and cited as a specific instance
of allged brutality a case at the army
hospital at Senenay. France. A wound
ed man, it was declared, was sentenced
by thc comman ding officer to a term
at hard labor- without trial for having
refused to do “ward labor.”
The suggestion was that Secretary
Weeks extend “to all S’4S«Kr former enlisted
or no.
his invitation to come forward with
evidence. The letter was signed by the
national lcl l M lit 1 executive committee ---- of the
M
’ hahmian "and Ea"rT Seaf nluonll °sec

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER H, 1921.
FARMERS’ MEETING IN
ATLANTA NOVEMBER 21
Plans for the third annual convention
of the American Farm Bureau federa¬
tion, which convenes in Atlanta on Mon¬
day, November 21, are rapidly being
completed. The Georgia Farm bureau,
which is to be host to the convention,
is expected to announce complete plans
ioi the three-day meeting during this
week.
Preliminary to the opening of the gen¬
eral convention, a number of confer¬
ences will be held. The first of these will
be a publicity conference, at the Pied¬
mont hotel on Thursday, November 17.
Each state federation has been request¬
ed to send a publicity representative to
this meeting, and it is expected that a
definite plan for the disemination of
farm bureau publicity will be evolved
J. W. Cloverdale, of Chicago, national
secretary, and Samuel Guard, national
publicity director, will be at the meet¬
ing, and will speak. It is expected that
fifty to 100 publicity men of the various
state organizations will attend.
With the arrival Friday of James R.
Howard, national president, plans for
the opening of the convention on Mon¬
day will probably be announced. The
Piedmont hotel has been designated con¬
vention headquarters and all of the na¬
tional officers will be quartered there.
That the meeting will be the biggest
farmers’ meeting ever held in Atlanta
or any part of the south, is indicated by
the large number of requests for reser¬
vations that have been received by the
Georgia Farm Bureau federation offices
in the Chamber of Commerce building.
It is expected that several thousand far¬
mers from all parts of the United States
will be there.
Between 2,000 and 4,000 farmers of
Georgia are expected. Each county
agent in the state has pledged himself
to attend, and to bring at least twenty
five farmers of his territory with him.
County agents from other states, as well
as delegations of farmers, are also ex¬
pected. Every state in the union
where the farm bureau has an organ¬
ization will have two or more official
delegates attending.
The convention will take up a num¬
ber of important agricultural problems,
chief among which will be considers
tion of co-operative marketing; gov¬
ernment aid to farmers, and the financ¬
ing of crops. The co-opertive market¬
ing phase will be gone into exhaustive¬
ly, and it isx expected that a definite
program will he apodted and put into
effect by the national organization.
Bernard M. Baruch, of New York
City, will be one of the principal
speakers at the meeting. He will ad¬
dress the Tuesday morning session an
“Agriculture’s Greatest Need,” while
at the Wednesday morning session,
Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agricul¬
ture, is to speak on “The Agricultural
Outlook,” Other nationally known ag¬
riculturists are to speak
Governor Hardwick and Mayor Jas.
L. K#y are to officially w’elcome the
convention delegates and visitors at
the opening session on Monday to
which James M. Morton, of Athens, a
member of the national executive com¬
mittee, and prominent in farm bureau
activities in Georgia, will respond.
Quite a number of social features
are being arranged for the entertain¬
ment of the delegates and visitors, a
complete program of which is to be an¬
nounced later.
ATTENTION AUTO OWNERS
A state wide drag for all -persons who
have operated a car or truck this year
that has not been legally tagged will
start in the next few days.
A number of public spirited citizens
who annually comply with the law and
duly register their cars with the State
and pay for their license tag have or¬
ganized and volunteered to make a
tour of the State in the intrst of round¬
ing up the automobile State license
dodger. These gentlemen make the sac¬
rifice of their time, cars and money,
solely in the interest of justice and
better roads, which assures the State
of an efficient drag for the auto tag
slackers.
The fact that they will go to every
city, town and village in the State that
has a garage will no doubt swell the
State Highway fund materially. Also,
it will give valuable information to the
State and all citizens, as to which coun¬
ty officers are doing their sworn duty
in seeing that all cari in their respec¬
tive counties are prophrly tagged.
Since August 1st all parties using
dealers license tags, except on cars and
trucks actually being demonstrated,
are violating the law enacted this year.
From this one source alone the State
is being defrauded of many thousands
of dollars. Many dealers are ignoring
the above law In using dealers tags on
their private cars and trucks, and in
many instances letting others use their
tags on their cars.
The above mentioned committee be¬
ing on the ground will easily get the
names of all the above who are violat¬
ing the law; also, they will go after all
others who may be defrauding the
State in not buying a tag for their car
or truck. Also, it is very evident that
many false statements have been made
to secure a duplicate tag which was
sold at a discount of regular price.
We advise getting your car or truck
properly tagged now while the getting
is good.
FACTORIES IN SOUTH
SHOW BIG BUSINESS
Expert Who Supervises Audits Declares
Manufacturing Plants Have Great¬
ly Increased Payrolls and Outputs
Atlanta, Ga., November 16—The
Amalgated Association of Angora Get¬
ters nijiy now disband.
The anvil chorus is slienced.
The knocker is knocked.
The pessimist has no place to voice
his woes.
At least not in Georgia. Not in At¬
lanta. Not at all.
As witness the statement of Joel
Hunter, business counsellor, who su¬
pervises the audits of many manufac¬
turing concerns here and throughout
the South, that the payrolls of manu¬
facturing plants and other big con¬
cerns in Georgia have shown a mark¬
ed increase. Mr. Hunter declines to
give out any confidential information,
as a matter of course.
This increase, Mr. Hunter says, in¬
dicates prosperity of the healthy va¬
riety. It is concrete, exact, a basis
upon which one may compute with ac¬
curacy.
It indicates, too, he says, an increase
in the manufactured products in At¬
lanta, in Georgia, in the South. It
shows that the section is going for¬
ward; that normalcy prevails; that
there are workers in the South who
have earning power and that there are
factories in the South which have pro¬
ducing power.
The figures alone, according to Mr.
Hunter, if pointed out in many in¬
stances, are sufficient argument for
optimism. The pessimist, he says, has
lost any argument he may have had.
“Get together, boys; let’s boost!” ex¬
claimed a leading business man at a
leading club where Mr. Hunter was
discussing the subject with a group of
manufacturers.
GIRLS TORTURE MAN
WHO ENSLAVED THEM
Vienna—Search for the murderers of
Carl von Eingang, a young clubman
whose mutilated body was found in a
deserted house, showed the crime to be
without precedent in police annals.
Von Eingang, it now develops, was tor¬
tured to death by five beautiful Alban¬
ian girls whom he had lured to Vienna
and sold to his young club friends.
They vowed vengeance and one night
when he was intoxicated the girls lit¬
erally hacked him to pieces with knives
and then dragged his body into an
empty house.

NOUNCES HIS PLATFORM
To the Citizens of Covington;
While surprised at the announce¬
ment of my name by my friends as a
candidate for mayor. I thank you for
having chosen me to be the bearer of
our burdens, and if elected, the sharer
of our honors.
I believe in and shall work for good
roads, good sidewalks, good electric
lights and water works, good schools,
good fire aparatus and a continuation
of an efficient fire company.
I think the time is ripe for a get-to¬
gether movement in the interests of the
farmers that trade with us, help to
erect ^granaries, potato curing houses,
and possibly arange for an exchange to
handle fruits, vegetables, poultry,
live stock, etc. If it proves that this
thought is correct, I favor hearty co¬
operation of the city with the farmers
of the county in taking care of and
selling their produce.
I believe in a conservative govern¬
ment, reduction of expenses where
possible to reduce, not in a parsimoni¬
ous administration, but such restric¬
tions as will allow us to set aside a
sinking fund to meet the outstanding
bonded indebtedness of the city.
I will be found to favor any and all
safe and sdne plans to bring our city
to the forefront—for I am vitally in¬
terested in any plan that will help us
to recover from our present financial
condition.
If this platform meets your approv¬
al, I will appreciate your vote, and as¬
sure you that every thing possible will
be done to help our city that can be
done by me.
Respectfully,
C. A. SOCKWELL.
NOTICE
Mayor again if you want me.
Much oblige for your past support.
I am a candidate for mayor next
election and will appreciate your vote.
HENRY ODUM.
C. A. SOCKWELL FOR MAYOR
The friends of C. A. Sockwell desire

ington, subject to the election December

FOR COUNCILMAN
Having been reared in Covington,
loving the city as a loyal, natural born
citizen should, I hereby announce my¬
self as a candidate for councilman for
long term, subject to the voters of
Covington. Being a young man I feel
that should I be elected, that I will
at all times be found to favor those
things which wll go to the upbuilding
of our fair city. Such as good roads,
good schools, etc. Also I favor an
economical form of government. If
elected I promise to serve all interests
to the best of my ability.
RUFUS FRANKLIN.
FOR COUNCILMAN
I herewith announce myself as a
candidate for council for long term,
subject to the voters of Covington.
If elected I promise my best efforts
shall be given towards every form of
city government that will conduce to
the best interests of all.
I favor an economical form of gov¬
ernment, setting aside a sinking fund
to meet the outstanding bonded in¬
debtedness, good roads, good schools,
and in fact every form of up-to-date
economical government.
I -will appreciate the votes of all if
you agree with my platform.
C. C. ESTES.
FOR COUNCILMAN
As a citizen of Covington I feel vital¬
ly interested in all forms of civic law,
and improvements, therefore after due
consideration of appeals to me from
my friends, I have decided to enter the
race for councilman for long term sub¬
ject to the voters of Covington.
I will be found, if elected, to favor
all forms of good government. Where
it can be done I favor curtailment of
expenses, and the setting aside accord¬
ing to law of a sinking fund to meet
the outstanding bonded indebtedness of
the city.
I favor good schools, good roads and
all things that go to make a safe, sound
and prosperous city.
I promise, if elected, to do my duty
by the whole city— working for the
city’s interest at all times, thus work¬
ing for the citizens Interest.
