JUSTICE FOR ALL SECTIONS.
s FAVORS FARM TARIFF.
. s e
ATLANTA, Ga—The object to
ward which the nation should direct
its industrial poligy is ‘“the building
of -manhood and womanhood,” said
Calvin Coolidge, vice president-elect,
in addressing the Southern Tariff Con
gress here Thursday.
The vice president-elect was here at
tending the southern tariff congress,
and spoke to an audience of several
thousand, who gave him a cordial re
ception.
That the tillage of the soil is the
basic and most extensive industry of
the nation; that co-operation of man
ufacturies with tillers of the soil is es
sential for the development of resourc
es, but that the real concern of An!:r-}
ica is in the buildihng of manhood dnd
womanhood were outstanding feat
ures of Gov. Coolidge’s address. |
In urging a protective tariff for
American industries Governor Cool
idge recalled the actions of the con
tinental congress and Jefferson’s in
dictment of the English parliamcnt,i
which prohibited manufacture of any
products in American colonies. ‘
“The independence which our fore
fathers sought,” he said, ‘was not
merely independence from foreign‘
kings and cabinets. They sought alsq
independence from commercial thral
dom. In these struggles against for
eign monopoly of industry we find the
historic background of the American
policy of protection. Our war for in
dependence was fought as much for
the right to set up our own industries
and manage them for our own bene
fit as it was for the right to set up
our own government and make our
own laws.” Outstanding excerpts
from the address of Governor Cool
idge follow:
“Geographical divisions and sec
tional lines have been swept away.
The just pride of the north and the
south, the east and the west is every
where submerged in the overmaster
ing sentiment of a yet greater pride
that we are all Americans.
“We have recently held a national
election. The outstanding result of
that election was more than partisan
—it was the unalterable determination
of our country to be and remain in
all things thoroughly American. Those
who as a result of this election are
to be charged with the resopnsibility
of administering ' national affairs will
administer them in that spirit. They
will adopt that policy and apply it to
all the nation.
: America First.
“Out of our united effort in the
great war came the abiding recogni
tion of our common interests and the
inspiring consciousness of our nation
ality. It was as Americans that we
fought on the battlefields of Europe
for American ideals of righteousness
and justice. It must be as Americans
that we face the problems of our na
tion and seek their fair and just solu
tion.
“This conception of our paramount
responsibility is in no sense a denial
of international relationships, for in
ternational relationship implies pri
marily a recognition of national en
tity and national duty. We recognize
the broad, universal claims of our com
mon humanity. We subscribe to the
creed of world brotherhood, but we
recognize that we can serve the world
best by serving America first. We
cannot raise a bankrupt world to
solvency if we permit America to be
come bankrupt.
“The first object ever to be sought
is national security. Whatever con
trol of commerce is necessary to pro
vide that condition either through high

Wien A Woman 18 KERVOUS—WORRIED
Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pzfi' the penalty.
Any woman will find that neglect
does not pa'j;. A little more atten
tion to health would brighten up her
life. If she asks her neighbors she
finds that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription benefits a woman’s whole
system. It not only acts upon the
troubles and weaknesses peculiar
to women, but is an all-round tonic
that braces the entire body, over
coming nervousncss, sleeplessness,
headaches, dizziness and a run
down condition,
Send 10c to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’
Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y., for trial pkg.
of “Favorite Prescription” tablets.
AvucusTa, GA.—"Doctor Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription restored me
to perfect health when I had become
a complete nervous wreck. I was
suffering with backaches and my
nerves were completely shattered.
I was not able to do any work, I was
so weak; I could not sleep, I was
so nervous; and my appetite was
very poor. I was just a wreck when
my mother gave me the ‘Favorite
Prescription’ and when I had taken
about five boitles I was well and
strong. ‘Favorite Prescription’isan

‘protection “6F free trade in certaini
commodities is for the public welfare.
National defense means national inde
pendence. Whatever materials are
necessary for that purpose must be
produced here under the stimulus of
protection sufficient to insure an ade-|
quate supply. : |
Real Concern of Nation.
“The real concern of the nation is
not merely in the "erecting of great
factories. It is in the building of man
hood and womanhood. The interest of
the government in industrial policies
is primarily in national revenue, na
tional defense and the welfare of the
people. The greatest revenue comesl
frem the greatest production, not the|
greatest imports. National defense de
pends upon the skill of our peoplc'
and the diversity of our industries. The
welfare of the people depends upon
opportunities for employment and our
abilit¢ to pay good wages.
“These are also objects toward
which the nation should direct its in
dustrial policy. These are the objects
toward the consummation of which
the whole nation invites the welcome
and effective co-operation of the
south.”
Appeals For Farmers.
Pleas for tariff protection for south
ern industries were made during the
day by Governor Parker of Louisiana.
John H. Kirby, of Texas, president of
the congress, former United States
Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina,
and others. t
Governor Parker made an a[_)peal
for protection for the farmers.” Mr.
Kirby declared for protection in out
lining the purposes of the meeting,
and denied that the republican party
is manipulating the organization be
hind the scenes. Mr. McLaurin assert
ed that if a tariff is to be written by |
the republican party the south should
see that its products are protected as
well as those of the remainder of the
country.
Passage of the Fordney emergency‘
tariff bill was favored in a resolution
adopted late today. J‘
THE CAPTURE OF PARSONS
SETS AT REST REPORTS OF
A WILD MAN.
LAUREL, Miss.—Driven from his
cabin in the swamp along l.eaf river
by high water Albert Parsons, an
aged white man, and a woman, who
says she is his wife, were brought to
Laurel today and placed in the coun
ty poor house. The finding of Par
sons is believed to set at rest the re
ports of a wild man, current for years,
said to be living in this section.
Caught in Trap.
Parsons says he and his wife lived
on wild roots, berries and what ani
mals they ,were able to trap. With
‘them when found was a child, who in
‘spite of the cold was entirely without
clothing. Parsons told the shcr‘l%f that
he caught his wife in a steel trap
many years ago,
Authorities today were conducting
investigation in an effort to ascertain
whether the two-year old child had
been kidnapped. ’
Parsons, in good physical condition
despite his age and the hardships of
his life, told county authorities he was
‘in possession of homestead rights to
property adjoining the tumble down
cabin which has been the home of the
couple for years. The child he declin
ed to discuss.
The woman, he said, he captured in
a bear trap 23 years ago and made her
his wife. Although incoherent in her
statements the woman stated she
thought she was about 50 years old
and remembered having been in a
fight with a wild cat some time ago.
One of her eyes was put out and her
body badly scarred.
Had Blind Horse.
When found the man’s clothes were
in tatters. The woman wore but a
single ragged and unsightly garment,
and the girl was naked. The child was
apparently in good health and seem
ed to have been well fed.
Parson was aided in his primitive
farming by a blind horse, which he
said he captured.

WAS NO ATTEMPTTO
\RICHLAND BOYS, INNOCENT-?
; LY SEEKING PLACE TO GET
~ WARM, SCARE POLICEMAN.
The joke is on the Plains police
man. There was no attempt to rob|
the bank there, as was published un-'
der big headlines by the press through
out the state. Three Richland boys
were the innocent cause of the sen
sation, as is told as follows in the cur
rent issue of the Richland News: |
“Three Richland boys, whose names
are withheld by request, were the in
nocent actors in the big newspaper
write-ups of the reported bank bur
glary in Plains last week. It appears
that a party of Richland boys had
gone out for the night on a little lark,
and one of the boys stopped off at
Plains to call on a young lady there
while the other three went to Amer
icus to visit the fair sex.
“Plans had been made for the three
boys going to Americus to meet the
one stopping off at Plains in front of
some of the Plains buildings at a cer
tain hour. The three boys returned
before the other one had bade his
sweetheart good-bye, and while wait
ing for their comrade the three boys
were walking along the street look
ing for a suitable place to hang out
and keep warm until their friend re
turned to the car.
“As they reached the bank building
they saw the glimmer of a light from
within, and thinking it"a good place
to get warm they peeped through the
glass front to see who was in. In the
‘meantime the night marshal was peep
ing out from his cozy nook, and hear
‘ing the noise of the approaching boys
he was sure a band of highwaymen
had reached Plains.
“The boys looked in just in time
to see the marshal fall over behind
!tho desk to safety and they, thinking
|that they had possibly unearthed a
bold burglary, continued to look
through the window to see what fur
ther would develop. The marshal
peeped out and the only objects to be
seen were three bold highwaymen;
‘they peeped in and kept thinking
that they could hear somebody mov
ling about.
“Between the boys and the officer
the game of ‘peek-a-boo’ was contin
ved for an hour, when the fourth
Richland boy appeare?on the scene
and the jolly crowd left for home
‘thinking nothing more of their Plains
|escapade until news items appeared in
several of the papers announcing an
attempted burglary of the Plains
bank. The Richland boys state that
they had no intention of frightening
the Plains officer, and that their only
purpose in°disturbing him was to find
la ;varm place to wait for their com
rade.”
SIX MONTHS IN JAIL AND $l,OOO
FINE FOR WRITING LET
TER TO WOMAN.
LEESBURG, Ga.—G. A. Wallace,
clerk of the superior court of Lee
county, was sentenced to six months
in jail and a fine of $l,OOO by Judge
Evans in the United States court at
'All)any on a charge of sending ob
scene literature through the mail.
| Wallace was charged with writing
to a young woman of Savannah a
letter containing an obscene sugges
tion. His attorneys gave notice of a
motion for a new trial. The defendant
made no statement in the case, and
the only witness was the young lady
to whom the letter was addressed.
The attorneys for Wallace argued that
the message was not necessarily one
of a suggestive nature and that it
|might have been that of an elderly
friend to a young girl, of whose fam
ily the defendant was a friend.
Prior to taking up this case Unit
ed States District Attorney John W,
'Bennett brought a rule for contempt
against the defendant and his son-in
law, Wade Laramore,, whom he
charged with trying to interfere with
the orderly processes of the court and
to exert improper influences on jurors
and witnesses. He asked that Judge
Evans issue an attachment for con
tempt against the two men. These
cases were continued until the June
term of court, |
The district attorney charged that
Wade L.aramore approached the moth
er of the young lady to whom the
letter was addressed and offered her
$3OO to withdraw the case, and that
Wallace sought to influence two of!
the traverse jurors drawn for service,
at the term of court at which his case
was to bé tried.
J. S. Bates, a L.ee county white man,
was fined $5OO for violating the fed
eral prohibition law. I
