Did You Ever
Stop to Think
?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla.
THAT the man who earns and
saves is a contented man and has no
fear of old age.
THAT there are men who wonder
why some men have so much money
and others nothing.
THAT generally they have spent
their time wondering while the other
fellow has spent his time hustling for
business.
THAT the happiest men are those
who put more into their city than they
get out of it.
THAT your civic leaders always
unselfishly put more into a city than
they get out of it, and it makes them
happy to see the community prosper.
THAT you can’t be half way for
your city; you either are or you
aren’t.
THAT the habit of complaining or
fault finding, of grumbling over lit
tle thinges, the habit of looking for
the dark side of verything is a most
unfortunate habit to contract.
“THAT if you keep it up you be
come a common grouch.
THAT to be a common grouch
makes vou a nuisance.
WHEN you feel it coming on, snap
out of it quick! Get it over before
anyone knows it.
DIRECTOR SOCIETY FOR
MENTALLY DEFECTIVE
Robert B. McCord, of Atlanta, di
rector of the Georgia Society for
Mentally Defective Children, was in
Fitzgerald Thursday inquiring into
conditions' in Ben Hill county with
reference to the manual education
of this class of boys and girls who can
not profit by the ordinary public
schools. He also conferred with the
local representatives in the legislature
relative to a program of state care
to be promoted at the next session of
the general assembly in Atlanta.
“Georgia seems to have as many
feeble minded children per thousand
of poptlation as any state,” said Mr.
McCord, and yet we are doing less
than any st te in the union for chil
dren in -condition. More than
five hund -;:\ have been on the wait
ing list of the only instution for them
in Georgia for several years, and
that institution in Richmond county
can only take care of seventy-five.
We want a building program to en
large this state institution to the ex
tene of caring for at least half of the
number on the waiting list at the
meeting of the legislature this year.
[ don’t see how we can do less when
no orphan home or good private home
will take a child in this condition, and
there are so many of them in the
neediest condition.
“Florida with a population not half
as large as Georgia is caring for five
hundred such children in its splendid
institution at Gainesville. They have
three thousand acres of land, and ex
pect to spread these defective young
people out in colony form, and train
them in the simple occupations that
do not require much mentality while
they so train them as to make repro
duction of the class less. Many types
of feeble minded can be treated with
improvement in the proper kind of
institution. Not all of them are born
this way. The accidents and diseases
of infancy leave many babies to grow
ap with defective minds. Injuries to
the mother before the baby is born
scem also to supply a considerable
number. But in any event such chil
dren are innocent and helpless. They
are here, and dependent on the pub
lie for anything they get in the way
of training to occupy their time and
possiblv make themselves supporting.
“The northern states are caring
for these afflicted children by the
thousands. New York state alone
cares for eight thousand defectives
in four different institutions. Mass
schusetts cares for some five thous
and in three institutions, and so on
across the country. The southern
ctates for lack of unds do less than
oiher sections of the country, but
a 1 of them are doing so much more
than our good state of Georgia. We
are doing well by our adult patients
:n mental afflictions, but nothing like
that in proportion for children who
have in them so much more of hope
for improvement. Attention has sim
ply not been directed along this line.
Such children are kept in the back
ground, ané the public do not see
them verg much, but those engaged
i any kind of children’sw rok as I
have been most of my ii§§, see the
problem and are impressed that we
must do something about &

Will Probably Also Face A
| Charge of Bigamy in
i *Pennsylvania
' J. B. Perdue, wanted here for
abandonment of his family three
years ago, was brought back by Depu
'ty Gordon Roberts Sunday, from
Montgomery, Ala., where he had been
-arrested for passing a worthless
Icheck, and has been ‘held pending ad
' justment.
! Since leaving his family here, Per
]due married a Philadelphia lady, who
‘in her delimma, finding him in jail,
| wrote to his sister for financial aid,
who in turn wrote to the first Mrs.
Perdue in this city, of her husband’s
present abode.
Mrs. Perdue No. 1 notified Sheriff
Dorminy, who had a warrant for his
arrest on an indictment from the
1626 grand jury. Deputy Roberts
was dispatched to Atlanta with requi
sition papers and after having them
!approved by Gov. Walker proceeded
to Montgomery and secured his pris
‘oner. Mrs. Perdue No. 2 was at the
Idepot when Roberts departed with
;his prisoner from Alabama’s capital,
iand created quite a scene. It is ex
‘pected that a demand will be made
on Georgia for Ferdue to answer big

Seeks Refuge in Home Near
Nashville—Detectives
Follow Trail
Jacksonville, Fla.—Although refus
ing to divulge the identity of his two
companions, J. W. Johnson, 42, Jack
sonville electrician, has confessed to
police authorities that he was the
leader of the trio of bandits who held
up and robbed the Riverside Atlantic
bank on February 18 and obtained
$5,470, and has related to officials
how he and his confederates carried
out the robbery and made their es
cape, according to information given
out by police authorities.
Johnson, the admitted leader of the
trio of bandits, was apprehended Sun
day morning, February 20, at 9:20
o’clock at the home of his brother-in
law near Nashville, Ga., by City De
tectives E. L. Acosta and C. M. Quat
tlebaum, of the Jacksonville detective
department, who were assisted in the
arrest by Sheriff Hughes of Berrien
county, Georgia; Chief Allen of the
Nashville police department, and
Chief Adams, of the Ray City depart
ment.
News Suppressed '
News of the arrest of Johnson was:
suppressed by Chief of Police Abel]
J. Roberts in the hope of apprehend-’
ing the other two bandits. |
The whereabouts of Johnson were
traced to Nashville by detectives
working under the direction of C. Hl
Hulbert, inspector of the detective de-|
partment, and Detectives Acosta and
Quattlebaum started out in a car late
Saturday afternoon for that city. |
When the detectives arrived at Ray
City they secured the assistance of
Chief Adams in the search and then
upon their arrival at Nashville Sher
iff Hughes and Chief Allen joined
them. After an all night ride through'
the county at a rapid rate of speed,
the detectives and their party drove!
nine miles from Nashville, where they
located Johnson in the home of his
‘brother-in-law. '
Johnson, who has only been mar
ried a few months, joined his wife at
the house after the robbery here.l
.When officers approached the place!
\they found Johnson shaving. He re-.
lquested the officers to be seated and
wait for him until he finished shav
ling. Instead the officers made a
thorough search of the house in hopes
lthey woul dfind some of the stolen
loot, but their efforts were futile.
Recover Part of Loot
When Johnson was ready to leave
the house he told Detective Acosta
that he would show him where his
part of the loot was hidden. Taking
the officers down the road a short
distance from the house, Johnson told
them to look under a stump and they
would find the money. When the of
small canvas sack containing, $1,853,
ficers lifted the stump they found a
practically one-third of -the stolen
money which was Johnson’s share of
the sum. They also found a revolver
beionging to J. M. Baker, vice-presi
dent of the Riverside bank, which was
stolen by the bandits from the bank
at the time of the robbery.

RASKET BALL RECCRD

The basket ball tournament now in

great interest to local players, the
fans and families of the players.
Fitzgerald last night broke the stand

18 to 15. Reports from the game
credit Willis Miller with- 16 of the

Dr. Good said the art of advertis

years. It now seeks to tell the truth
and let this convince the buyer, he
pointed out. He called attention to

The nation at large, Republican leaders in particular, will watch
with interest the reaction of sentiment following the debate between
\Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler and Senator William A. Borah at Boston
April 8 on Prohibition enforcement. Dr. Butler's recent statements
about President Coolidge’s third term hopes; the importance of facing
the wet and dry issue; and things in general about his party, brought
‘Senator Borah into the picture, with a challenge for debate.

Washington, D. C., March 3—Re
gardless of the politics that may, or
may not be involved in the Dr. Nicho
las Murray Butler-Senator Borah dg
bate before the Roosevelt Club gt
Boston on April 8, the nation is going
to be treated to a very interesting
discussion by two able statesmen
which may perhaps result in estab
lishment of a preliminary lining-up of
sentiment or factions in the Repub
lican party as to whether or not the
prohibition question is to a nationa]%
‘convention problem next year. |
i Senator Borah’s quick throwing
down of the gauntlet to Dr. Butler,
|and the latter’s equally quicq accep
‘tance of the challenge to debate the
'prohibition enforcement question,
brings to gether two party leaders,
both qualified to ably present their
side of the question in masterful man
ner.
Senator Borah’s place in the party
| councils is well known. Now, as for
many years, he is a factor which the
party cannot affordato ignore. It
should be remembered that he was
President Coolidge’s first choice for
‘vice-})?osident running mate in 1924.
| He refused it; would have none of
!it; ‘but had his say in the Clevelafft
!cnnvent‘ion and today is always con
sulted by party leaders on all ques
tions of importance.
l While the Idaho Senator needs no
introduction to newspaper readers,
Dr. Butler, of Columbia University,
New York, is quite often left out of
the picture, as to his jplace in party

South’s Hard Werk
Cause: Big Growth
Atlanta, Ga.—lt is the capacity fox
hard work of the Southern people,
coupled with the hard work and en
thusiasm of thousands of g ood citi
zens from the North and East who
have come to the South, and the mar
vellous resources and advantages the
South possesses, that are making the
South now the fastest growing sec
tion of the country, in the opinion of
Atlanta capitalists.
More people are turning their eyes
southward than ever before in the
history of the country, Atlanta. ban
kers state. “Go West, Young Man”
has been changed to “Come South,”
it was pointed out, and the South is
beginning to feel the influx of new
citizens.
Bankers here do not hestitate to
say that capital is available in pro
portion to business growth and in
creased population and it is now
shown on all sides that Georgia and
the South is spreading out in every
way.
Building activity in the South,
which has been heavy particularly
during the last five years, is continu
ing at a rapid rate, according to local
contractors who are handling many
southern structures. <
. The movement of the textile indus
}try to the South is increasing, textile
men here stated today. Each mill
‘that is moved to a Southern locaticn
from another section of the country,
emphasizes the advantages gained by
such a change and leads to other mills
being moved. The South now has
nearly fifty per cent of all the cotton
spindles in the United States and con
sumed nearly 70 per cent of the cot
ton used in American mills, it was as

ATTEND ATLANTA MEETING

W. Paulk and Harry Vinson motored
to Atlanta Sunday to be the guests of
the Chevrolet dealers association who
were holding a meeting in the Bilt-‘
more Hotel.
highly respected Washington political
writer, says of Dr. Butler: Dr. But-!
ler is mere case of a university presi-i
dent taking an amateur fling at poli
tics. He knows Republican politicsi
high and low and with a minuteness |
that arrests attention. He keeps ini
touch with party leaders and workers‘
all over the country. He has been
for many years, and may yet turn |
out to be very powerful in the Re-!
publican national organization. |
Dr. Butler has been in attendance
at Republican National Conventions
since 1880. At that first convention
he was not a delegate, but a news-‘
paper correspondent. However, he
was a delegate at the 1880 conven-‘
‘tion and also to six of the nine con
iventions since then. It has been for
‘gotten generally by the public that
Dr. Butler was vice-presidential run
‘ning mate with William Howard Taft
'in 1912. This came about through
the sudden death of James S. Sher
man, who had been nominated at Chi
cago. The Republican leaders then
named Dr. Butler to fill out the tick
et.
As to the scheduled debate with
Senator Borah, Dr. Butler states sim-
Iply: “I am ready to discuss the at
tempt to enforce national prohibition
by constitutional amendment. The
‘federal Constitution was defaced and
! deformed by the addition of the
lEifz;hteenth amendment and its pas
| sage effected the beginning of a revo
lution in the American form of fed
’eral government. This is the fu_nda-i
mental reason why the attempt tol
control the liquor traffic by these
'means has failed.” ‘
1926 Banner Year For
Railroads of Country
Ailanta. Ga.—Figures made public
by railway executives show that fifty
three million carloads of revenue
freicht were handled were handled
by the carriers of the country last
year, this being done without short
age of cars and without delays to
shippers taking goods from producers
to deliver them to consumers.
New records for efficiency also
were established, according to the
executives. The average movement
per freight car per day rose to more
than thirty miles; the average cars
per train rose to more than forty five;
the average sneed rose to more than
twelve miles an hour, and a new high
record of 829 tons was made in Oc
tober for average load of freight
per train.
Taxes levied on railroads during
the last year were increased substan
tially, so that the total is now near
four hundred millions of dollars, the
executives stated. The net operating
income for class one railroads was
about a billion and a quarter dollars.
This, is was asserted, is equal to about
five and one-quarter per cent on the
property investment, and not much
more than the sum annually needed
in new capital to keep the roads up in
the march of improvements required
to maintain service. |
The Atlanta executives do not hes-?
itate to say that 1926 was a year of
unusual railway achievement. I

Threatened Strike of
Musicians Brings
Results
Independent Organization If
Services of Old Leader
. Not Retained
Faced by the possibility of having

entertainment, the Board of Gover
nors of the Community Band, rescind
ed their hasty action taken by a por
tion of the Board, who on Saturday
notified R. Glen Johnson that his ser
vices were to cease March Ist.
On learning of this drastic measure
the members of the band, %9 active
musicians, met Monday night at the
city hall and passed resolutions to
stand by their director and to either
reorganize the band under independ
ent management or to have the Board
of Governors rescind their action. Mr.
Franklin James, J. C. Wilson, Ivan
Thurston, Leon Kassewitz, Aubrey
Wilcox and Warren Brown were elect
ed a committee, with Franklin James
chairman, to meet with the Board of
Governors and to present their ulti
matum, of either to re-elect Mr. John
¢on director, or the band would cease
to function under their auspices and
reorganize independently. The ae
tion of the board attended by Rev. E.
S. Winn, F. R. Justice and J. J. Pry-
or was rescinded at the meeting
Tuesday hight when Rev. Bruce Nay,
Henry Powell, Rev. E. S. Winn, F.
R. Justice and J. J‘ Pryor were pres
ent to hear the band’s complaint and
receive their petition.
The petition read as follows ‘with
