GEORGIA EGG CROP
WORTH $10,000,00(1
Ii Brings More Than Peaches and Ap¬
ple* Pnj Together, According to
Railroad Agriculturists.
Atlanta, Ga.. August 9.—The egg crop
oi Georgia runs into big money, accord¬
ing t-> agricultural experts of the Atlan¬
ta. Birmingham and Atlantic railway.
The railroad agriculturists say that
Georgia ^ people hear more about the
V neh crop than they do about the egg
< rop, but the eggs sold bring more than
peaehes and apples both.
R is pointed out that not more than
,
one half the eggs produced in the
state ever reach the market and yet,
the experts say, Georgians sell them
eai h year to an amount in the neigh¬
borhood of ten millions of dollars.
The chickens raised each year, it is
by the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Railway experts who have come
figures on the poultry industry,
ire worth a like sum and they, like
it is shown, are consumed tit
home in a quantity quite as la$ge as
crated.
The poultry business, as shown by
here and in various sections of
the state, is a coming business. It is de¬
clared that it is greatly on the Increase
of South Georgia.
Whore barn building, hog and m.ttle
raising, hay and grain production are
the increase, as is now being shown
South Georgia, the production of
poultry is apt to be on the increase.

[P! STOL TOTING IN GEORGIA
MAY SOON BE STOPPED^
Atlanta, Ga., August 9.—Are the ru¬
ral districts of Georgia entitled to pro¬
tection against promiscuous carrying of
firearms by irresponsible and dangerous
elements.
Are the cities of Georgia entitled to
safe- guards against this menace at the
hands of the criminal forces with
which they have constantly to cope?
Are the peace-loving, law-abiding
rank and tile entitled to effective legal
control of a practice wherein a lawless
few bring- blood and shame upon the
commonwealth?
There is before the Georgia legisla¬
ture a bill by Senator Golueke, of Craw
l'ordville, and the nineteenth district,
which, according to law enforcement
advocates here, answers these urgent
questions to the satsifaetlon of the
state's best judicial thought, as well its
the must representative .public senti¬
ment.
Its proposals are endorsed by the
judges of all the superior courts save
five from whom no opinion, one way or

judges of all the city courts without ex¬
ception; by the great majority of the
rural press; by virtually every city
newspaper of the state; by scores of
