ATTACKS HANDLING OF STATE
uoKvicts
In a communication to the public,
issued Wednesday by Dr. W. C. Bryant,
candidate for prison commissioner, he
attacked the “loose manner in which
some of the convicts are handled at the
state prison farm, as indicated in the
John S. Williams case,” and called m
Commissioner R. E. Davison, chairman
of the prison board, to prove his state¬
ment that the prison board is doing the
best that it can on the small amount of
money appropriated to run it

IS DAIRYING PROFITABLE?
Every dairyman should ask himself
the question, "Is dairying profitable?”,
he aide to answer it and give reasons
for his business, answer. but This since should it is apply so easy to
every information in dairying, there
to get this
is no excuse for running a dairy at a
loss for any great length of time.
On nearly every dairy farm, a few
cows are kept at an excellent profit,
some at a small profit and some at an
actual loss. A study of any herd of cows
unless they have been carefully selected,
will show that there are wide varia¬
tions in the production of milk and but¬
ter fat, and in the economy of produc¬
tion. There are always individuals in a
herd which produce milk more efficiently
than other individuals, making it pos¬
sible to grade the cows according to
their production and cost to the owner.
Keeping a daily milk record and mak¬
ing fat tests at regular intervals is the
onlv satisfactory method of determin¬
ing what individual cows do-with the
feed given them. The cost of keeping
such a record is small, and is more than
offset by the advantages to be had from
the record. Having a daily milk record
makes it possible to feed cows with the
greatest economy. Such records enable
the herdsman to detect sickness 'luicker
than would otherwise be possible. This
in turn enables him to avoid the use oi
unwholesome milk and to give prompt
attention to animals in poor health,
ID«iilv records ulso make it possible to
iudge the work of different milkers. Ex¬
periments have shown that with certain
cows some miners are able to get as
much as 25 per cent more milk than
others. advantage to be had in
The greatest showing the individu¬
having a record making it
ality of cows, of course, is
possible to eliminate the unprofitable
ones and build up herds. A milker might

C ANDIDACY OF JUDGE R. C. BELL
In another column appears the an¬
nouncement of Judge R. C. Bell, of
Cairo, to succeed himself as a member
of the court of appeals. Judge Bell was
appointed to this position upon the
death of Judge Ben Hill. The term of
Judge Hill would have expired on Jan¬
uary 1st, 1923, and prior to his death
Judge Hill had announced for re-elec¬
tion and had no opposition.
Under the law, Judge Bell’s appoint¬
ment holds only until the result of the
.November general election is declared,
and the person chosen therein is sworn.
ary 1st, and also who shall serve for
the full term, beginning January 1st.
As a result, Judge Bell’s name must
appear on the ticket twice, once for the
unexpired term, for which he has no
opposition, which is merely to finish
Judge Hill’s term about six weeks fol¬
lowing the general election. In the sec¬
ond place, his name will appear with
that of beginning another candidate January 1st. for His the ^full
term an¬
nouncement refers to the full term.
The voters should be careful upon this
point to see that their ballot shall ex¬
press accurately their wishes.
Judge Bril is a typical self-made man.
and has achieved his present high stand¬
ing through his own efforts. He was
born on a farm in Webster county on
January 28th. 1880. He worked on the
farm for many years, suffered the hard
ships of the farmer boy and finally
through his own initiative secured
enough money to attend school. He be¬
gan teaching school at the age of 17
years. Later on, when he accumulated
sufficient money, he took the law course
at Mercer University, graduating there
in 1902. Before beginning practice, how¬
ever, he took two more years of colle¬
giate work at Mercer. In 1904 he began
the practice of law in Sylvester. He
moved to Cairo in 1905 and has lived
there ever soince. In 1912 he ran
Solicitor General of the Albany
and was overwhelmingly elected. At
expiration of his term he was
again without opposition, after which
he was elected without opposition

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 30.—The lower
house of the national law-making body
is expected to give early consideration
to the bill of U. S. Senator W. J. Harris,
of Georgia, providing for a world census
of cotton on hand July 31 of each year.
The bill has already passed the Senate.
The Harris bill has the approval of
Secretary Hoover, of the Department of
Commerce, the American Cotton Asso¬
ciation and many leading authorities of
the cotton growing business. Harvie
Jordan, of St. Matthews, S. C., who is
secretary of the American Cotton As¬
sociation. has written to a large number
of the Southern Congressmen, from all
of the cotton states, to press the meas¬
ure to speedy passage in the House, it
was stated here today.
For securing information in the Uni¬
ted States the bill directs the census
bureau to collect information showing
the quantities and grades of baled cot¬
ton on hand at cotton ginneries, com¬
presses, manufacturing establishments,
warehouses, and other places where cot¬
ton is ginned, manufactured, stored or
held. The information will show the
number of hales of cotton of the grades
tenderable under the law.
BETTY ANDREWS SAYS FARE¬
WELL TO FRANK DUPRE
“Frank, I’ll always remain loyal to
you” were the farewell words of Betty
Andrews, the woman for whom Frank
DuPre, youthful Peachtree bandit, be¬
came inspired to steal the $2,500 dia¬
mond ring in the Nat Kiser Jewelry
Company store, and which terminated
in his committing the crime for which
he is to pay the supreme penalty Fri¬
day..
Betty Andrews, at 11 o’clock Wednes¬
day night, in the company of Sheriff
Lowry and Mrs. Cornett, the matron at
the Fulton tower, was led down the
corridors of the jail from the third floor
to the cell of her lover.
This meeting was the first that had oc¬
curred since DuPre was placed on trial
in the Fulton superior court six months
ago. As the door to DuPre’s cell was
thrown open, Betty rushed into DuPre’s
outstretched arms and buried her head
on his breast.
All the while the two were together
the sheriff, the matron and the deputy
on duty performing the death watch
stood aside and made no effort to hear
what they were saying.
Presently the sheriff looked at his
watch. The 20 minutes was up. He mo¬
tioned to the girl. She wrapped her arms
about liuPre's neck in a last embrace,
it was then she vowed to “remain loyal
to you ..............always”.
Leaning heavily on the arm of the
sheriff, Hetty was led away—back to her
cell on the third floor. Frank was deep¬
ly touched. For the first time he showed
signs of the severe mental strain to
which he has been subjected during the
past few weeks. Tears were rolling down
his cheeks as Betty was led away. It
was his final farewell to her.—Atlanta

est Service, on forest fire protection in
Georgia, and the magazine takes up edi¬
torially the work being done and the or¬
ganization of the Georgia Forestry As¬
sociation. Ovid M. Butler, the forester
of the association, outlines the import¬
ance of forestry to the south.
“The Georgia Forestry Association,”
says the magazine’s editorial in part,
"has come into being at an opportune
time. It has a large and urgent field of
endeavor before it. In no state in the
South does forest depletion appear to Ik*
proceeding at a more rapid rate than in
Georgia. But there are signs of a public
awakening. The Governor is fully alive
to the seriousness of the situation, es
’is Dr. Soule, of the State Agricultural
College. Opportunities for state develop¬
ment and progress by enlightened utili¬
zation of forest land are unexcelled in
Georgia. Its wood producing power is
tremendous, if only put to use instead
of being abandoned as an old mine.

BRAND NEGLECTING HIS
BILLS IN CONGRESS
Mr. Shackelford, being shown the
card of Mi’. Brand publishing two tele¬
grams from Congressmen stating that
his presence was not needed in Con¬
gress, said:
“It is an easy matter, indeed, for Mr.
Brand to protect himself from the pub¬
lic by having a Congressman to wire
him that he is not, needed in Washing¬
ton.
The Congressional Record shows the
facts. In the Congressional Record of
August 21, 1922, on page 12687, the fol¬
lowing appears:
MR. SPEAKER: Today the Calendar
for Unanimous Consent is in order, and
the Clerk will call the first bill on the
calendar.
The first business on the calendar for
Unanimous Consent was the bill (S.
1010) to amend Sections 5549 and 5550
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States.
THE SPEAKER: Is there any objec¬
tion to the present consideration of this
hill?
MR. HUDDLESTON: Mr. Speaker,
reserving the right to object, may I
ask whose bill it is? ,
MR. STAFFORD: Mr. Speaker, this
hill has been on the calendar for the
last eight months, more or less, and has
been postponed from time to time at
the request of the gentleman from Geor¬
gia. Mr. Crisp, because of the absence
.or illness of his colleague, Mr. Brand,
who is interested in this bill.
MR. HUDDLESTON: Is the gentle¬
man from Georgia. Mr. Brand, not now
present?
MR. STAFFORD: I do not see either
the gentleman from Georgia, Mr. Brand,
or the gentleman from Georgia, Mr.
Crisp.**** ***•
This bill. Mr. Brand claimed, was so
important that he should be kept in the
House in order that it might be passed,
and it has been on the.calendar for
eight months and not passed on account
of Mr. Brand’s absence from the House,
and only went over on the 21st at the
earnest request of Mr. Mann, who asked
that Mr. Brand be allowed to be present.
