UNDERWOOD SUG
GESTEDFOR PRES.
Atlanta, Ga., March 29.—Sugges
tion of the name of U. S. Senator
Oscar Underwcod, of Alabama, for
the democratic nomination for the
presidency has found generous ap
proval throughout the entire coun
try, particularly in the south, ac
cording to political leader s here.
It is, of course, early to be giving
the matter any decisive considera
tion, as the nomination will not be
made until some fifteen months
from date, it is pointed out. Yet
it is but natural that members of
both political parties are thinking of
1924's possibilities and their bearing
upon the nation’s affairs.
Two years ago the democratic de
feat wa s of such a nature that it
amounted to a disaster that locked
very much like the party’s extinc
tion. Yet tcday the party, with a
resiliency almost unparalleled, has
managed to resume its armor of
battlo and i s ready to enter the big
fight, confident almost to the ’point
of certainty.
Mr. Underwood is a southerner,
to be sure. His grandfather was a
United States senator from Ken
tu ’ky, as he himself is a senator
from Alabama. Yet Mr. Under
wood. by virtue of his long service
: n congress, has become a national
figure, and secti.nal antipathy
would cut less figure with voter* of
the country in his case tin i in thai
perhaps any other man from the
Frcm the date of his admiss.on io
congress he has been a growing man.
In the house, he was rha'rman of
the ways and mean 3 comm! ;toe aid
author of the fairest tariff measure
that the present genentioi had
known. In 1912 he was balloted for
in the Baltimore convention aod
was “in at the death” when Wooed
row Wilson was finally nominated.
Elected to the senate, he was
promptly chosen his party’s leader
in that body, a post he recently re
linquished of his own volition to se
cure a much-needed rest, bemg now
In Europe. When President Harding
came to choose his commissioners to
the disarmament conference which
met in Washington the one democrat
selected by him was Mr. Under
wood, whom he had known as a fel
low senator and whose capacity he
respected.
Mr. Underwood has not only
achieved' a political career; lie has
succeeded in hig private atfa rs and
n every walk of life. He is a man
of intellectuality, a hard student, a
tireless worker, ambitious and oi
unquestioned integrity. In person
he i £ pleasing, and in manners cour
teous. In debate he is the peer of
any, his efforts being free from all
dramatic accompaniment, his words
easily understood, with logic rather
than a desire to impress his person
ality urging him on. Not an ora
tor, he i s the very best type of de
bater He is a master of the details
of government and has facts and
figures always at hand as a ready
reliance in every discussion in which
he engages.
There may come to the front some
man —m:re than one —more avail
able than Mr. Underwood; it may he
that the latter’s name will not even
go before the convention. At the
same time, right now it is impres
sive and will give to other candi
dates considerable anxiety.

Illicit Liquor
Making Hurting
Farm Industry
Atlanta, Ga.—Mrs. Rebecca Lati
mer Felton, the first United States
woman senator, expressed the opin
ion in Atlanta Wednesday that the
growth of the illicit liquor manu
facturing industry in Georgia is
striking at the heart of the farming
industry.
“Several consignments of liquor
will net a farmer more than he can
make from a whole year’s work on
some poor farm,” ste stated, “and
this is one factor causing a shortage
of farm labor.”
Mrs. Felton told how she had en
countered a pair of moonshiners in
Bartow county riding through her
farm. The men were riding on a wag
on carrying about eight of ten glass
jars filled with whisky, she said. She
reported the incident to United
States Marshal Walter Akerman,
who resides in Cartersville.
“New measures of enforcing the
prohibition law must be drafted,”
stated Mrs. Felton. “Under the
present methods the government is
helpless and the prohibition question
is growing in importance every day.”
Mrs. Felton said that when she re
ported the whisky haul to Mr. Aker
man, a bystander remarked that a
still could be found on practically
every branch in Bartow county.

COTTON CROP
FOURTH GEOR
GIA’SPRODUCTS
Indicating the largely increased
tendency of the Georgia farmer to
get away from the “one crop sys
tem” and diversify, the Atlanta Na
tional bank, “The Oldest National
Bank in the Cotton States,” Sunday
printed in the newspapers of Atlanta
statistics showing that the value of
the state’s cotton crop in 1922 was
only about one-fourth the value of
its total farm products.
These statistics, says the advertise
ment, were compiled by Martin V.
Calvin, statistician of the Georgia
state department of agriculture, and
throw an extremely interesting light
on the actual Georgia farm resourc
es.
They show, among other things,
that the value of the total farm crop
of the state was an even $400,000,-
000, of which’figure $108,750,000
represents the total value of the cot
ton crop. The eorn crop was valued
at $65,774,000, and milk came third
with a valuation of $25,304,000.
Among the Starm products that
were valued at yell over $10,000,000
in 1922 wer sweet potatoes, hay,
peaches, butter and varieties of veg
etables other than sweet and Irish
potatoes. Cattle and hogs were
placed at a very high valuation, as
were all other farm animals.
“With the principal money crop
of Georgia amounting to only 25
per cent of the total value of all
farm products,’sfthe Atlanta Nation
al bank points out, “this state can no
longer be called a one crop state. It
is proof that crop diversification is
no longer a theory, but an actual
fact. It meansgthat the partial fail
ure of a single crop will no longer
be an economic for Geor
gia.
“With the nplease in poultry,
dairying, cattle, hogs and diversified
crops, and the j|r®spects for the next
cotton crop bringing more than
twenty-five cents the pound, the out
look for Georgia is most encourag
ing.”
The Atlanta' National bank has,
for many years advocated -crop di
versification, and has devoted much
newspaper space to the interests of
this most important farm movement.
These advertisements have been
widely copied and have done much
o help spread the gospel of diversi
fied crops throughout Georgia anu
the south.

STARTS WAR ON
TRAIN DRINKING
Washington.—“ Watch your hip”
is the new slogan placed before rail
road travelers under the new order
of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
to stop “promiscous drinking of in
'tUfleßUflJ? Ifcjhor 6n railway trains.”
Thirsty passengers, in addition to
being exposed to the usual traveling
hazards of life and limb, also are to
have their hip pockets in constant
danger, for prohibition agents under
the order are to arrest immediately
anyone caught drinking or even .sus
pected of drinking liquor on trains.
It became known today that al
most immediately after issuing the
order Commissioner Haynes stepped
aboard a train for a two days’ trip.
His itinerary and destination were
kept secret, even his most confiden
tial secretaries at prohibitiion head
quarters being in the dark, and
there were possibiliites that the com
missioner himself might get the
“first blood” in the battle to dry up
the railroads.

Patient Is Not
“Fed Up On”
Metal As Food
Parsons, Kans.—John A. Mal
grene, patient at the state hospital
for epileptics, continued his mania
for metal food today and attempted
to swallow a watch.
Day and night a guard stands
watching over the patient Every
loose piece of metal on the bed has
been removed and the patiei t i.s noi
permitted to touch an article of sil
verware during his meals.
Malgrene has a ravenous appetite
and while he is eating his desire for
silverware appears to vanish. When
he is told he can’t have more food he
invariably begins reaching for the
silverware.
According to Dr. Naramore, it may
not be necessary to operate on Mal
grene for the removal of a key which
he swallowed yesterday, for some
time. “He lived several months with
twenty-seven spoons in his stomach,”
the physician said, “and I don’t think
a small door key will cause him any
trouble, at least until he is strong
enough to undergo another opera
tion.”
PROBES DEATH
MACON INFANT
Macon, Ga.—How a baby girl, less
than three months old, apparently
died of malnutrition and its parents
refused to inform even their closest
friends and neighbors of the demise
was unfolded at a coroner’s inquest
Saturday at Crump’s park. Malvin
M. Miner and wife, parents of the
child, are from Richmond, Ind., and
contend that the death of the child
occurred Monday morning, and that
it was not discovered by them until
Monday afternoon.
County physician, Dr. Herring
Winship, testified at the coroner’s
inquest that malnutrition was suf
ficient to have caused the child’s
death, but that the malnourished
condition could have been due to ig
norance on the part of the parents
regarding the proper diet. The doc
tor said he discovered an abrasion
on the right cheek bone, but was
unable to locate any fractur-

TWICE-A-WEEK
CHAPMAN HURT
WORSE THAN
FIRSTTHOUGHT
Athens, Ga.—Gerald Chapman
“human fly” and erstwhile “million
aire bandit” will not leave St. Ma
ry’s hospital as early as hoped for,
according to L. J. Fletcher, U. S.
deputy warden who was in Athens
Friday.
Mr. Fletcher said that one of the
bullets entered the convict’s back
andg razed the vertebrae and that
the wound was giving more trouble
than had been anticipated.
Mr. Fletcher also said his trip to
Athens developed another feature of
the convict’s escape ni that he had
been told that the convicts had been
seen to alight within the city limits,
in contradiction to the statement of
P. W. Nichols, the driver, that he
put the convicts out of his car sev
eral miles out of the city.
Chapman was shot three times
when he engaged in a running bat
tle with Madison county officers
last Wednesday after escaping from
the Atlanta penitentiary Tuesday.
Reward Offered
For Person Who
Burned School
Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Hardwick
on Wednesday offered a reward of
S2O for the arrest and conviction of
the person or persons suspected of
burning the Roddenberry school
house in the Winokaur district of
Charlton county on March 1 6.
T. W. Wrench, chairman of the
county board of education, in a let
ter to the governor, asserted flatly
that the fire was incendiary and fur
ther asserted that this was “the
first school house in eight years to
go this way.”
The couny board had offered a
reward of S2OO, which, added to the
governor’s reward, makes a total of
S4OO.
GOLDEN EAGLE
GIVEN JUDGE
Augusta, Ga.—Judge Henry C.
Hammond showe din Augusta a large
t'e.id eagle which had been presented
to him during the day at Appling,,
county seat of Columbia county,
where he was in attendance on court.
The eagle was given to him by John
Boyd, negro, who stated he had
killed the (bird Saturday.
Boyd declares that during the past
few days the eagle had slain on his
place five geese, two turkeys and a
calf. Caturday Boyd's wife called
to him that the hawk was again in
the field among the chickens. Boyd
says that he got his gun and ran to
the spot his wife had indicated. As
he neared the eagle, the bird rose
slightly in the air and soared toward
him. Boyd says he halted, the bird
continuing to fly toward him. When
the eagle was close enough to make
assurance doubly sure, Boyd says, he
fired, killing the eagle.
The eagle’s wings measure 7 feet
6 inches from tip to tip and its talons
are large and formidable looking. It
is of the golden eagle variety and
of the largest size to which these
eagles grow. The golden eagle be
longs to this continent but is seldom
seen in North America, and rarely
east of the Rockies.
That Judge Hammond may not be
able to preserve the entire frame is
due to the fact that a negro at
Boyd’s home Sunday night, on being
told that the dead bird was a “gold
en eagle” from beyond the Rocky
mountains, ripped open the body in
the hope of finding gold. The low
er portion of the bird was badly dam
aged, but the wings, head and legs
were not mutilated.
RENOUNCES HIS
CLAIM FORTUNE
Buffalo, N. Y.—Claim to the prop
erty of Mrs. Marion E. Lotz, for
merly of Detroit, was renounced to
day by Carl G. Wisler, of Buffalo,
sole beneficiary under the woman’s
will. Mrs. Lotz died last December
from poison taken with suicidal in
tent on Thanksgiving eve. On her
death bed Mrs. Lotz repeatedly said
“Carl was responsible for it all,”
and expressed a desire to make a
new will. She died before her law
yer could draft a new instrument.
Mr. Wisler’s action leaves the will
in contest. Two brothers and a sis

says he is Mrs. Lotz’s second hus
band, are claimants to the property
reputed to be worth $30,000.
