Chairman «f Georgia Highway Board
Says He Welcomes Proposed Inves
tigation by State Legislature.
Atlanta., Ga„ May 22. —ghairman
John N. Holder, of the state high
way board, says any form of investi
gation of Jiis department will be
heartily welcomed by the department
at the legislative session next month.
Chairman Holder does not hesitate
to say—and many friends of the de
partment, seems, agree with him
—that most of the recent criticism of
the board has been due' to misinfor
mation and misunderstanding on the
part -of the critics.
He has asserted that the particu
lar contract w T hich ha s been under
fire was discontinued by the depart
ment in January, 1922, and the board
has not purchased any cement un
der contract :since that time. He
said that everything needed by the
department since that time has been
bought under the competitive bidding
system.
Undoubtedly, as advocates of good ;
roads here show, the highway depart
ment, under the administration of
Chairman Holdfer and his associates,
has made great progress during the
last year. Whether an investigation
by the legislature will result in any
improvement in the conduct of the
department is a question. Critics of
the department as well as of other i
departments of the state-house, have
a habit of bobbing up about as reg
ularly as the legislature meets, and!
judging by results during the last
few years, have accomplished little
except to kill the time of the tax
payers and arouse hostilities.
It is the opinion of a number of
lawmakers and prominent citizens
from various seetion s of the state,
who have discussed the highway de
partment workings, that more will
be accomplished by helping it along
than by constantly nagging at it
and seeking to place obstructions in
its way. That “Honest John”
Holder and his associates are apply
ing themselves assiduously to the
solution of the road problems of the
state is generally admitted by those
who come directly in contact with
state highway work.

Fish of bright and varied colors

A trip through the department of
the Peachtree Arcade devoted to
bathing suits revealed the fact that
the now omnipresent brilliancy of
Egyptian coloring has invaded the
realm of bathing beach garments,

of almost every other form of
women’s wearing apparel.

EARYL PULLETS PAY.
By Mrs. Geo. E. Rankin.
(From Farming.)
From my own experience and ob
servation I have • concluded that
early hatched pullets which are
well cared for are the money makers
for the farm folks who are interest
ed n poultry rasing. In the eary part
of last January I heard of a neigh
bor who had 300 White Leghorn pul
lets. I at once decided to pay him
a visit and se his beautiful birds,
which were the talk of the country.
I, being a lover of the poultry yard,
thought it would be a great advanage
to visit this neighbor and learn all
about his birds.
We started in time to reach the
home as the White Leghorns just
about 11:30 A. M. when our neigh
bor would want togive his airds
'their noonday feed and gather his
eggs. We reached the farm at H~3O
A. M. The young man who owned
the White Leghorhs had just start
ed on his noonday round. He had
a large half bushel of feed on his
arm, and in which he gathered the
eggs after feeding was done.
He said the poultry house was on
the hill near the woodland and where
the birds could have the warm shin
ing sun al the day.
When we reached the poultry
house we stopped and almost held
our breath at the beautiful sight.
The house was built in the ren
ter of a green oats, barley and rye
field; and about two Hundred yards
to the east was a beautiful strip of
woodland of eeders, pines, .and great
oak trees. He opened the poult-y 1
house door and kit those 300 White 1
Leghorns out for their noondcv for
age. They were the most heaut'-
ful birds we ever saw. Shey 'vr:
perfectly clean and looked snow
white as they ran singing, here and
plump for Leghorns. We ju3i stood
there on the green field. Their combs
were bright red and they werg, very
and watched them for ever so long,
"he thing v/e noticed especially was
their egerness for the woodland
they went inside to gather the eggs
plump for Leghorns. We just 6to©d
and view the poultry house which
was 16 ft. X 80 ft., and was so ar
anged that it could be keot perfect
ly santary. The floor was covered
wth straw about a foot deep and in
it were oats and' wheat to keep the
hens busy untl time to let them out
for exerese and forage. A large
tub filled with gravel and oyster
shell and charcoal was in the center
of the house. At one end there was
a box of meat scraps, there was a
basn of water and a large box filled
wth wood ashs. We were told by our
that by using good wood
ashes he was never bothered with
lice and mites in his poultry house.
The ashes had been sifted and con
taned no trash or hard substances.
Thy gathered the half bushel has
ket full of beautiful white uniform
sized eggs. They told us they shipp
ed a case of eggs every day to a
New York hatchery at 90 cents
dozen. They hatched those pullets
all at one time in a large 600 egg
capacty incubator. They ship their
male birds as broilers to New York
and get 50c. per lb. for them on an
average, the year round.

skim mirk to their hens. They grow
just about all their own feed. This
was a pleasant trip and it fully con
vinced me that early hatched pullets
LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 24,1923.
PEOPLE LEAVING
GEORGIA FARMS
Athens, Ga.—An estimated total
of 100,000 persoons, or the equi/a
lent of the population of oo city the
size of Macon, is the number of
white aind black Georgians who have
left farms in this state since last
January 1. tOf this number the
greater is composed of black
citizens, although the number qf
whites who have abandoned the
farms is placed at . about 18 000.
These astpnihing figures and other
that will be given were compiled by
county agents throoughout Georgia,
grouped at the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture, and given to
the public through newspaper cor
respondents for the first time late
Monday afternoon, by Dr. Andrew
M. Soule, president of the institu
tion.
In addition te the large number
of individuals who have left Geor
gia farms —and the most of these
have even left the state — it is
fouffil that 11,840 farms have been
in Georgia since the
first of last January. Placing the
very low productive value on each
of these farms of 1175, the average
I for the whole United States last
year, it is seen that the loss in
farm production in Georgia in lesss
than five months is $1,972,000.
The total number of negroes who
have left Georgia within t ifhevefs
have left Georgia within ’the five
months is estimated to be 68,960,
and attributing to each of thes
negroes the ability to make one
dollar a day, the productive value
of the population that has left this
state in five months would in the
course of a year amount to omre
than $25,000,000.
According to Dr. Soule, who gave
out these factss, the situation is
absotuetly alarming. Already, he
says, Georgia is being forced to im
port 30 per cent of the farm proo
duce that it comsumes and with
negroes leaving at the rate they
are, and the departuje of the
whites as well from the farm, it
'is a most perilous situation.
The way in which the figures
above were obtained is that cooun
ty agents in sixty counties made
actual survayes and with theose as
a basis, the complete estimates for
the entire 160 counties in the state
were obtained. In the sixty, coun
ties it was found that 25,893 ne
groes had gone from the farms and
6,871 whites and that 4,410 farms
had been deserted. With this for
a basis, it was found that for the
entire 160 counties, 68,960 negroes
and 18,24.0 whites had left the
farms and 11,840 farms had been
abandoned.
Mundy far Senate Presidency.
Friendg of Colonel W. W. Mundy,
Cedartown lawyer and legislator,
predict that he will be the next pres
ident of thff senate of Georgia.
Colonel Mundy is a veteran law
maker, having served both in the
house and the senate, being the au
thor of many constructive measures
no?/ on the statutes books of the
state. During ,his service, first in
the house and later in the senate, he
was always picked by the presiding
officer-to serve on the most impor
tant committes. He holds the rec
ord of having been elected to the
hoyf? twice and the senate twice
without opposition.
The Polk County Bar Association
has just adopted resolutions endors
ing Colonel Mundy’s candidacy for
the senate presidency and praising
his work both as a lawyer and a
legislator in the highest terms. He
has been a member of the Cedartown
bar for more than twenty-five years.
Colonel Mundy, according to mem
bers of the legal profession at
Cedartown, is “peculiarly fitted by
reason of his training as a lawyer
ar.d legislator, his natural ability,
high character, innate fairness and
even temperament for the proper
discharge of the duties” of the sen
ate presidency.
Many members of the next senate
are already pledged to the sppport
of Colonel Mundy in the race for
presiding officer and his election, it
, is believed here, is virtually assured.

65C PER DAY
PROVIDES FOR
STATEJSYLUM
Sixty-five cents a day provides all
the necessities of life and the best
possible medical treatment to each
Of 4,000 patients in the Georgia
State Sanitrium at Milledgeville.
New York spends 50per cent more
per day per patient.
A large amount of foods for the
patients s produced on the Sanitar
ium farm. Notwithstanding this
extreme economy is necessary and
the highst efficiency is particed in
order to bring this cost as low as it
is.
This institution is a hospital, purly
and simply. Mental ailments are
treated here by skilled physicians
and many of she patients are sent
back to their homes sound and well.
Others are so restored or improved
that they are no longer a charge to
the State. Not all cases of insainty,
of course can be cured, but every
case that it is possible to cure by the
most modern medical science is cur
ed in the Georgia Sanitarium.
A repor made over a year ago
showed a deficit of over $260,000.
At that time many person committed
to the Sanitarium were confined in
county jails of Georgia because of
lack of space and facilities in the
Sanitarium. The Legislature grant
ed a deficiency appropriation of sls
- to the instiution and all insane
people who were confined in jails
were admitted to the Sanitarium.
This was done, not withstanding the
fact that the deficiency appropria
tion was insufficient to meet the
needs of the hospital withoout the
additional burden upon it. Con
sequently, the facilities are still in
adequate and the efficiency of the
institution is considerable improved.
This year a deficit of approximate
ly SIIO,OOO remains and it is hoped
that the Legislature will appropri
ate this amount.
With the greatest possible econo
my and the greatest possible effic
iency there is a limit to the number
of patients that can be treated,with
which to treat them are insuffic
ient.
The regular appropriation for the
Sanitarium each year is SBOO,OOO.
The report shows that this must be
supplemented by $239,864.68 .in
1923 in order to make up the actual
cash deficit of 1922 and provide for
increased cost of maintenance in
1923. In addition, the report shows,
$81,245 is necessary to complete and
furnish buildings now under con
struction, $9,260 is requiyted to' build
and equip a building to relieve the
present congestion in the white fe
male department and to provide the
most modern of treatment, occupa
tiona therapy, for them, $29,905 is
necessary to rebuild the present an
tiquated ice plant and enlarge the
cold storage, $44,036 is required to
install a duplicate pipe line f r om
pumping station to insure a suffic
ient water supply at all times, and
$25,000 is necessary to provide out
side fire escapes of iron which will
make the Sanitarium prepared for
any possible fire.
The Board of Trustees, on the ad
vice of the skilled men of the Sani
tarium, further recommends to the
people of Georgia that a social- ser
vice department be established in or
der that patients who are furlough
ed as “improved” may be looked af
ter from time to time. This wvuld
assist largely in preventing the ne
cessity of many of them having to
return to the Santarium. The Board
also recommends that additional out
side clinics, such as now exist in Ma
con, be created in order that the
Sanitarium might better care for the
mental health of the people of the
State and give timely treatment to
those seized with mental disease.
We believe the Sanitarium is fully
deserving of the support of all our
people and we ask them to consider
these recommendations. The hos
pital has accomplished much on a
very small amount of money. It
stands today in the forefront of in
stitutions of its kind in the United
States, and with proper financial
support by the state it wll not only
keep in the forefront, but will ad
vance in its great work of caring
for, and of restoring as many as is
possible, of those who are afflicted
with the most dreadful diseases—in
sanity.

Atlanta, Ga.—Recent advice from
the War Department is to the affect
that the Fourth Corps Area, which
includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana. Mississippi, Tennessee,
North Carolina and South Carolnia,
is leading rest of the country
with a comfortable margin in the
procurement of candidates for this
year's Citizen’s Military Training
Canfp. These’camps are a continua
tion of those held during the past
two years. Young men from seven
teen to twenty-four years of age are
eligible to receive a month’s free
opting entirely at government ex
pense from August Ist to 30th at
Camp McClellan, Alabama; Fort
Barrancas, Florida; Fort Bragg,
North Carolina.
The necessity of camps of this
kind is becoming more and more ap
parent as the result of the draft sta
tistics of 1917 and 1918, which are
being carefully studied at the pres
ent time, brought to light the as
tounding fact that nearly 50 per cent
of the men of draft age in this coun
try were physically defective in one
respect or another. Of this number
by far the greater portion had de
fects that could have been remedied
by efficient physical training when
at school.
Dec#ie of physical vigor has al
ways preceded national downfall,
and is usually a result of too great
specialization. The decline of the
Roman nation is directly traceable
to loss of national physical stamina.
Like every great country ot an
tiquity of which we have any re
cord we are constantly and danger
ously manifesting a tendency to be
come a nation of brain workers en
tirely, leaving the outdoor, beneficial
physical work to a small minority.
This is manifesting itself in the huge
crowds which attend all sorts of ath
letic exhbitions.
In common with past empires we
gain in Interest in watching other
people exercise but the draft records
prove that the present generation is
neglecting ts own physical exercise
and development.
At C. M. T. Camps the govern
ment provides abundant exercise
properly supervised, and provides
just discipline. Special precautions
are taken to feed the growing boy as
well as posible and to teach him to
take care of himself. He is clothed
at Government expense while at
camp and receives medical attention
throughout the period of camp.
Eighty-fve per cent of the men who
attended camp last year showed a
definite measurable physical devel
opment improvement in height,
weight, chest expanson and general
appearances. The balance were ben
efited to a lesser degree; none were
harmed.
About a thousand more meg are
needed to give this section its full
representaton atcamp, and parents
and young men who are interested
are urged to drop a post card to the
C. M. T. C. Officer, Atlanta, Geor
gia, who will be glad* to furnish ap
plicaton blanks and literature. v

County Rate Grows.
In his annual report Comptroller
General Wright, showed that the
average county tax rate in Georgia
has grown from 5.65 mills in 1900
to mills in 1922. Candler, Crisp
and Treutlen counties led the pro
cession with county tax rates of 25
mills, while there are a number of
courties with rates of about 20 mills.
The Fulton county rate is 10 mills,
compared to 3.70 in 1900, while the
DeKalb rate is''l2.so mills, compared
to 5 mills in 1900. White county is
the only county.in the state that re
duced its tax rate between 1900 and
1922, the rate being cut from 11
mills to 9.50 mills.
Along revenue lines Governor
Hardwick will reiterate his recom
mendation that a graduated income
tax be adopted, and that the tax
equalization law be let alone until
the income tax can become effective,
which would net be before January'
1, 1925. It would be necessary to
submit the proposed constitutional
amendment to a vote of the people
in a regular election, which does sot
c me again until November, 1924.
State Tax Commissioner H. J.
Fullbright will recommend the
preoervation of the tax equalization
lav/, with amendments making its
enforcement more equal and uni
form. He will advocate the placing
of the selection of tax equalization
hoards in the hand s of grand jurors
and congressional district
ences to decide upon uniform tax
rates in adjacent counties. He also
favors an income tax and other spec
ial taxes for the state, leaving prop-’
erty taxes to counties.

THREE WHISKY RUNNERS WERE
CAPTURED MONDAY'& TUESDAY
Howard, Dick and Hugh Garner
and John Tuggle captured Alf
Brady near Bramlett Shoals Monday
in a Ford loaded with about fifty gal
lons of liquor, which wa s brought to
town and poured out. The runner
was locked up, but later made bond.
Tuesday the same parties, with
the exception of Tuggle, Rob Brown
being with them, overhauled John
Glenn near the same place in a Chev
rolet with seventy-five gallons of
contraband. His load likewise went
into the gutter, and John took up his
abode at the county jail.
Wednesday Deputy Sheriff Ber
nard caught a man in a Ford car
with ten gallons of liquor whom he
lodged in jail.
Within the past few weeks Sher
iff Garner’s posse have captured
sever loads of liquor, each contain
ing from thirty-five to 150 gallons.
This shows good work and the
blockade runners have to be very sly

Repeal of Tax Equalization Law,
Highway Department and Biennial
Sessions to
• - ' ' ♦ -% |'i
Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—With the
1923 session 'of the Georgia legisla
ture less than six weeks off, the main
issues that will confront the mem
bers are beginning to take definite
form. A renewed effort to abolish
the tax equalization .law, attempts to
raise more revenue without increas
ing taxes, proposed changes in the
highway laws and a fight on the per
sonnel of that department, a more
determined battle for biennial ses
sions and an effort 'to straighten out
the tangle in the school appropria
tion* laws, promise to be the out
standing matters up for immediate
attention. • “
The recent suggestion of Comp
'lroliler William 'A. Wriglft that a
limit be placed upon county tax
rates has attracted attention all over
Georgia and brought support from
many quarters. Governor Hardwick
has given his unqualified indorse
ment to the plan, and is expected to
urge its adoption in his final mes
sage V
The theory of General Wright is
that as long a s counties are per
mitted tp make the sky their limit,
they will keep on increasing their
local tax rates without raising the
property valuations. By this meth
od the money for local purposes is
increased to meet the growing needs,
while the state of Gorgia, with its 5
mill limit, gets the same amount
each year, although the requirements
of the state are also constantly in
creasing.
Change Inauguration. /
Governor Hardwick and Governor
elect Walker are agreed upon a
change in the time of inaugurating
state officials, and both will recom
mend that new state administrations
take office in January following their
election in November, instead of
waiting until the legislature con
venes in June. They disagree on the
length of the legislative session
