WOEN PEOPLE DRINK RATES ARE REDUCED
Atlanta, Ga.—The national prohi
bition law never will be absolutely
enforced, and only substantially so
when the mass of the people volun
‘arily become total abstainers,”
{'nited States District Judge Samuel
ti. Sibley deciared in a charge to the
Federal grand jury.
“In fact,” he added, ‘‘no law ever
Las or ever will be perfectly enforced
which denied the gratification of per-|
<onal taste. It is foolish to expect
perfect enforcement ol this law or
any other which deals with gratifica
sion oi a personal desire which can
po satisiied in private. ‘
‘Substantial enforcement will
¢ome only when and where the mass |
of people decide they want it and get‘
to the point where they will report
und testify as to violations. All the
forces of men and money that the|
{inited States might muster would be!
nelpiess Lo do more than act as an|
irritant in a community where the
.entiment was against prohibition.
“Moderation is the ideal that has!
been reached for since the time of
Adam, and still unattained. Volun
tary total abstinence is the only hope
for the enforcement of the prohibi
tion law. . . . There is no doubt but
what this is a long way off, possibly
a generation.”
! Judge Sibley declared Atlanta of
fors the “biggest problem in the en
forcement of the dry law in the
northern district of Georgia.” As
serting that “people here, as in other
cities, want whisky and are willing
to pay for it.” He suggested the
posting of patrols and inspectors on
all roads into the city to examine au
tomobiles and personal effects of per
sons entering as a means of halting
liquor running.
FOUNDATION OFFERS
PRIZE TO BOOST SWINE
RAISING IN SOUTHEAST
Atlanta, Ga.—To help stimulate
better swine raising in the southeast
the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation here will award a hand
some loving cup to the college team
which gets the highest score in swine
judging in the Inter-Collegiate Swine
Judging Contest to be held at the
Southeastern Exposition here Octo
ber 2 to 9, it was announced today
by George C. Biggar, secretary of
the Foundation. Dr. Milton P. Jar
nagin, professor of Animal Husban
dry at the Georgia State College is
superintendent of the contest. It is
expected that college judging teams
from the Carolinas, Tennessee, Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi
will- compete for honors.
“Hog raising is becoming an im
portant industry in the southeast and
it is the aim of the Foundation,” said
Secretary Biggar, “to give the farm
ers of this section constructive help
in more efficient management and
better feeding problems of profitable
hog production. The soil and climate
of this territory are favorable to the
production of forage crops adapted
to economical pork production. Un
like the corn belt, swine raising in
the southeast is a year round busi
iness, and two crops can be raised a
vear. In the north it is a fedlot
proposition. Here it is one of pas
turage. When the farmers of the
southeast started to raise hogs and
for a number of years thereafter
they depended upon peanuts for feed
but now they include soybeans and
other legumes which are being
grown on the farms here. The in
dustry is improving. More farmers
are going into the swine raising busi
ness and more packing plants have
been established in many sections.
The possibilities for this branch of
farming are most encouraging for the ‘
farmers of this part of the ‘country.”
Dr. Jarnagin states that.there is
perhaps more interest in swine judg
ing at the coming exposition than in
any one livestock feature. This is
due, he says, to the growing interest
in the southeast in a constructive sys
tem of agriculture which provides a
most important place for swine rais
ing. ;
WON SUCCESS BOTH AS
ARTIST AND INVENTOR
Samuel Finley Breese Morse had
two distinct careers and climbed from
the bottom to success in each of
them. He is best known for his in
vention of the telegraph, but before
he even dreamed of the invention, he
had experienced the complete career
of an artist. He began as a strolling
peddler, barely keeping clothes on his
back and food in his stomach by
painting portraits of New England
country folk as he wandered from
village to village. In less than a
}score of years, by dogged persistence,
}he became the foremost portrait
’painter in America before whom sat
presidents and generals and states
men, and he was head of the National
Academy of Design. His work was
acclaimed at home and abroad. |
Then, just at a moment when he
reached the height of fame as an
artist, just when he was returning
from triumphs in Europe, with
bright prospects for financial ease
and still higher honors, an inspira
tion from the clouds caused him to
renounce all he had gained and begin
again—this time as an inventor with
a great idea.— Popular Science,
THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1926.
Atlanta, Ga.—Long distance tele
phone rates in Georgia will be re
|duced between the hours of 7 o’clock
to 8:30 o’clock at night. The rate
'will be 75 per cent of the day rate.
| A revision of the reduced rates by
ithe Southern Bell Telephone and
| Telegraph company has just been au
thorized in an order issued by the
| Georgia Public Service Commission.
| The purpose of phone officials in?
'soeking the change was to dispatch
'the heavy load that begins at 8:30
lo’clock at night, when the rate is 50
per cent of the day cost. The change
‘makes possible for the public re
duced rates one hour and thirty min
‘utes in the evening.
' It was shown that the cost of put
ting up a call above 30 miles exceeds
25 cents, and only to provide the
‘actual cost of the service the mini-
Em::ms for this distance was increased
irom 25 cents to 30 cents.
~ In commenting on the revision
public service officials stated that this
addition of 5 cents was allowed
where the minimum heretofore has
been 25 cents for distances between
26 and 96 miles. No change has
been made in rates existing during
the day time.
Following a revision of toll rates
by the commission in February,
where slight increases were approved,
the company has expended more than
$300,000 in making possible a greater
dispatch in the handling of toll ser
vice. The station-to-station service,
where a reduction has been had, is
the most profitable service the com
pany has in its long distance business, ‘
it is said. Privilege is now granted
for reversing charges on station-to-l
station calls, which is a new service. |

GEORGIA’S 1926 COTTON
- CROP ESTIMATED TO
YIELD 1,169,000 BALES
Atlanta, Ga.—A cotton crop of
1,169,000 bales isindicated for Geor
gia in the official report released
through the Georgia Co-operative
Crop Reporting service. This report,
which relates to Sept. 16, places con—}
dition of the crop at 56 per cent of |
normal, indicating an average yield
per acre of about 142 pounds. ‘
The average yield per acre in 1925
was 1556 pounds and in 1924, 157
pounds, the report stated. The total |
production in 1925 was 1,164,000
bales and in 1924, 1,004,000 bales.‘
The acreage for this year’s harvest,
it was pointed out, is about 9 porl
cent greater than the 1925 acreage,§
and 29 per cent greater than in}
1924, |
Conditions during the period from
Sept. 1 to 16 were quite favorable |
for development of the late crop, re
sulting in further recovery from late
ness and hopper damage in the north
ern half of the state. The improve
ment in that section, with somewhat
better fields being realized in the
southern territory than were expect
ed two weeks ago resulted in about
3 per cent increase in the indicated
crop since Sept. 1.
Offsetting to some extent the fa
vorable developments during the
period, was the presence of the leaf
worm in hte northern half of the
state. While on Sept. 16th the pest
iwus present in a large percentage of
the fields, serious damage had oc
curred only in widely scattered lo
calities. At that time the extent of
the probable loss from this source
was uncertain, being largely depend-‘
ent upon the extent of poisoning and
the degree of infestation after that
date. Some growers were poisoning
with calcium arsenate and where
used, the treatment was usually prov
ing effective. ‘
Picking and ginning are progres-|
sing rapidly in the southern half of‘
the state where most of the cotton
is open. Picking has just started in
the northern territory, the report in
dicated. 2
Big Lumber Concerns
To Conserve Timber
Atlanta, Ga.—Big lumber compa
nies of the West are looking forward
50, 100 and 150 years and are re
planting more trees than they are
cutting down, forest conservationistfis
here today pointed out. It is shown
that they intend to develop their in
dustry along permanent lines. Some
of them are even working up, at lit
tle or no profit, wood which was for-
merly wasted, so as to promote tim
ber conservation, it was stated here.
The National Committee on Wood
Utilization, it was stated here, pro
poses to save the people $100,000,-
000 to $150,000,000 annually on
their lumber bills, by using more of
the trees which go to the saw mills.
Instead of cutting lumber into even
' lengths and widths, as is now done,
!all the wood will be used no matter
of what length.
! A survey made by the Forest Pro
' ducts Laboratory of the national de
partment of agriculture, it was
stated by government agents here,
shows that in small house construc
tion, almost 50 per cent of the lum
ber could be of odd lengths. Lum
ber is seldom cut shorter than eightl
feet, yet one-third of that used in'
building construction is less than that
length.
Among the things this summer has
taught us is not to smell a flower
while g bee is smelling it.
