mills, $1,663,034.66; mills that spin and
knit, $3,925,308.33; mills that knit, $2,-

Cave Man Stuff”’ Is O.
K. in the Movies, But
~ Not So in the Home
Although Recalcitrant Husband Is
Repentant in Prison Cell Wife
Scorns His Love Pleas.
ATLANTA, Ga—When Frank
Johnson “crowned” his wife with a
black jack in a restaurant Mrs. Ethel
Johnson decided that cave man love
goes better in novels than in real life.
Now she is advocating that all mar
ried women stick together for their
marriage rights, particularly abolition
of the “rough” style of “affection.”
Although a prison cell has brought
apparent repentance to the recalcitrant
husband and he promises to do better
if she will withdraw the = charges
against him, Mrs. Johnson turns a
deaf ear to his appeals.
“Off” of Him Now.
“No cave man for me,” she said
emphatically. “Any man who will
strike a woman ought to be in the
penitentiary. I think I have started
a movement against cave man tactics
in the home. A husband should be
gentle and kind. Old fashioned love
should once more prevail. Otherwise
‘tis a jail house and a dark prison
cell for iriend husband. That's what
I say, anyhow.”
When Johnson was given a prelim
inary trial on a charge of wife beat
ing he went down on his knees to beg
forgiveness of his wife, only to meet
a stern refusal.
He Makes Ardent Plea.
In a letter to her from jail John
<on wrote: “Sweetheart, if you have
a heart, please come to sce me, for 1
love you. I will never give you one
minute’s trouble if you will come
down here. Please don’t make me stay
here any longer. * * * Darling, please
bring me something to eat. We have
corn bread and syrup or breakfast in
2 tin can, corn bread and rice for din
ner and no supper. I am in one lonely
dark cell and I never get to see any
body but a negro cook. Sweetheart,
if T do get out I will never bother
vou again. I will get a job and go to
work.”
“Can you beat it?” was her com
ment. “I have no dependence in him.
We have been married only a short
time, but during that interval he has
terribly mistreated me and I have been
putting up with it, hoping that perhaps
some day he would get over his cave
man tactics and behave himself. So
when 1 heard his plea in court 1
knew he didn't mean it. I knew him.”
ies, but they are such important publicl
utilities that they have become prime
necessities to railroads, steamships andi
to everything used for transportation.
Manufacturers, farmers, merchants‘
and shippers alike consider them in-|
dispensable. The number is 32. The|
capital invested in compresses in Geor
gia in 1921 was $4,950,000. The cm-!
ployes numbered 1,087, of whom 202
were white and 885 negroes. The sal
aries of officials were $150,000 and the |
wages oi all employes $250,000. The
cost of repairs and new machinery
amounted to $48915.56. The highest
daily capacity of presses was 2,000
bales. |
g |
Many Oil Mills in State. |
The cotton oil mills in Georgia that |
were operated in 1921 numbered 147.
In this important industry Georgia
ranks third for 1921. The capital in-|
vested in 1921 was $25,000,000. There |
were purchased 278,000 tons of cotton%
seed and 258763 tons were crushed.
The number of operatives was 2830,
of whom 850 were whites and 1,900
negroes. The amount paid in salaries
and wages was $1,080,000. The ex
pense of repairs and new machincry%
amounted to $330,666. All these run
ning expenses amounted to $10,848,-
543. The manufactured products were:
10,505,335 gallons of crude oil valued
at $14,848,543; 42,595 tons of cake and
cotton seed meal valued at $2,814,945;
27.398 tons of hulls, valued at $796,000:
35,137 bales of linters (each 500 bs.
net), valued at $748,667. The grand
total of all these values was $182810,-
037.
Millions in Georgia Mills.
According to census figures the val
ue of manufactured products in Geor
gia last year was nearly seven hun
dred million dollars. To be exact their
value was $693,556,000.
This was the value of products turn
ed out by 4,803 manufacturing plants
that represented an invested capital of
$448,823,000.
Strange to say the greatest part of
the manufacturing done in Georgia is
done in the small cities and towns.
In the twelve largest cities there is
a population of a little more than half
a million, and the number engaged in
manufacturing is fifty seven thousand.
In the small towns and cities, of
which forty-seven are listed, the cap
ital invested in factories is forty-seven
million, the products of the factories
have a value of $104,000.00. '

FEWEST IN THE SOUTH.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Claims of
women who fought for the vote that
women would never clamor loudly or
in great numbers for political office
have been substantiated in reports of
republican primary rcturns reaching
republican national hcadquarters here,
according to Mrs. Harriet Taylor Up
ton, vice chairman of the republican
national executive committee,
The claim that women office seekers
would run for county or municipal po
sitions rather than state or mnational
also has been shown to be true, Mrs.
Upton added.
Replies to a questionnaire sent to
secretaries of states asking for names
oi republican women nominees ;m(l‘
those seeking nomination showed that
only three republican women hz\\'c‘
been nominated for congress and three
qualified for nomination. The total
number of republican women nomi
nees for state legislatures, returns
show, will not be more than 30 to 40
and the nominees for county office
will not exceed 200.
Commenting upon statements by
the democratic party conceriing the
nomination oi democratic women to]
public office, Mrs. Upton declared the
complete lists of women candidates of
many states show that the number of
women candidates in the two parties
substantially is equal.
Few Nominated in South. ’
“The lists also show that few wo-|
men have been nominated for any of—l

said Mrs. Upton. “It is only in states
where there is little probability of
election that democratic women are
nominees,” .
Pennsylvania probably will lead the
country in the number of women who
will sit as representatives in the gen
eral assembly. According to available
figures there are eight women repub
lican nominees in Pennsylvania. Maine
has two women nominees for the leg
islature, Indiana one, Oregon two and
North Dakota and Kansas one each.
Three republican women have filed

to the Wisconsin assembly and Cali
