TWICE-A-WEEK
VOLUME 52.
DAIRY PLAN IS
LAUNCHED BY
LOCALKIWANIS
The Lawrenceville Kiwanis Club
met Friday night for its first meet*
nig after receiving their charter, the
outstanding feature of the meeting
being the launching of a movement
to encourage the dairy business
throughout the county.
It was resolved and passed that ten
farmers be secured who would care
for five dairy cows each, preparing
their raising products
for their feed and to market their
milk and butter coperatively.
As son as this club is secured it is
planned to immediately start on the
formation of other clubs.
The committee appointed will
start atonce to secure these men.
After much discussion it was seen
that this movement would mean
much to the people of this section,
it being recognized that as a money
making proposition coton was now
cut of the question.
County Agent oKbinson and Mes
srs. J. H. McGee and C. R. Ware
spoke in glowing terms of the move
ment. eMsrs. McGeee and Ware are
now operating modern dairy farms
and are well pleased with the re
sults they are securing.
Letters and reports from the dif
ferent men engaged in dairying
through this section were Tead and
showed Clearly that there was money
to be made in the project.
The Wayside Dairy, of which Mr.
Ware is the head, has for some time
been seling milk and buter to a large
list of customers and shipping much
cream at afancy price. They have
a large herd a'hd are making rapid
strides.
Mr. McGee, at Ms home inside the
corporate limits of Lawrenceville,
now has five dairy cows and his pas
ture is the admiration of everyone
who has visited it. His place is real
ly about the model that the Kiwanis
club has undertaken to interest the
first tea farmers in. Quunty Agent
Robinson spoke of the McGee dpiry
and stated that there was ho reason
why Gwinnett county should ndtle
come one of the leaders in this in
dustry. Mr. McGee tnld of the prob
lems of a dairy fend said that the
only question of marketing was that
he did not really have enough cows
to market to the beKt advantages.
A report of the International meet
iug held in Atlanta last week was
made by Mr. C. M. Morcock who
stated that the meeting was
throughly enjoyed and much . good
derived from same.
On the looting of ifr. Manning
Austin a committee was named to
select a tract of 400 to 900 acres of
Gwinnet land, on a highway and
railroad, to be shown to represent
atives of the International Harvest
er Company who are planning to put
and operate a model farm iin Georg
ia or Alabama.

COTTON CROF IN
BAD CONDITION
Atlanta, Ga., June 1. —The corre
spondents of the Georgia Cooperat
ive Crop Reporting Service indicate
the condition of the cotton crop to
be lower than in many years. The
figure of 65 very well reflects the
numerous unfavorable factors enter
ing into making the coton crop ’■his
season. Most important among these
| is the boll weevil, which is already
present in practically all counties.
On account of the lateness of the
season in the upper two-thirds of
the state, this is of extreme import
ance.
On -crop report date (May 25,1
from 15 per cent to 25 per cent of
the cotton acreage remained un
planted in the upper third of the
state, and the crop was late in all of
the Piedmont seciton and part of the
Coastal plain. The lateness is due to
several causes, principal among
which is excessive rainfall and the
several cold spells, particularly the
last one on May 10.
Labor shortage, due to exodus of
negroes, has forced the farmers to
attempt to cultivate two acres more
per plow than usual. This short
age of labor is bound to Tesult in
considerable abandonment and poor
er cultivation, and is accentuated by
extremely wet season. In addition
work is in bad shape and short
age of feed stuffs is very marked.
Certain localities have- been visited
by hail and cotton so damaged can
not make a crop in dvance of the
weevil. •
To partially offset this extremely
unfavorable situation, more of the
farmers are using fertilizer and
is an increase of 16 per cent ir. the
amount used per acre. It is also
likely that there 'wall be more cal
cium arsenate used than last seas
on. Probably one of the most im
portant points is that the farmers
now understand the boll weevil and
are adopting vigorous methods of
combating him.
As to the physical condition of
the plant itself, the situation, is ex
sffeakeiJ' and spotted. In
Sojg£frm&e«rgia the stands are good
and the cotton is in very fair shape.
As one progresses north after leav
ing the eSaboard from Montgomery
to Savannah the condition becomes
lower. In the -northeast section
there is a block of aboul fifteen
counties where the situation ap
proaches disaster, and all of north
Georgia is so bad : y behind that the
outturn of the crop in this area is
problematical. It. may also bo said
that the wester,- part of the state
pcneraily has a mu'.h belter out
look than the tsste.n. These indi
cations are born - ort by the condi
tion figure of '>’>• sifter states on
the west and east respectively, Ala
bama with condition figure of 70
and South Caroliroi with 64.
Following are Me conditions of
the counties of district No. 2, north:
Barrow, 53; Cherokee, 62; Clarke,
47; Cobb, 69; Dawson, 51; DeKalb,
51; Forsyth, 65; Fulton, 85; Gilmer,

WOULD BUY TAGS.
Atlanta, Ga.—Obsessed by the er
roneous idea that the annual sale of
auto tags at half price—good only
for six months—began at the auto
mobile license department of the
secretary of state’s office on June
Ist, a heavy ruhs of applicants for
such tags began at that office* Fri
day morning. Charles A. Cook,
chief field clerk of the division, ex
plained that the half year -tags are
not put on sale until August 1.
The fiscal year of the department
runs from March 1 to March 1, thus
throwing the six month period at Au
gust 1. How the erroneous idea that
it was June 1 got out no one can ex
plain.

J. E. EVANS, BETHLEHEM,
KILLED SELF WEDNESDAY
Winder, Ga., May 31.—Mr. J. E.
Evans, one of the well known citizens
of Barrow county, who lived in the
Bethlehem community, committed
suicide Wednesday afternoon about
4 o’clock. He has been in bad health
for a year or more and it is thought
that this, condition was the cause of
the rash act.
It seem s that about 3 o’clock in
the afternoon he took his gun and
decided to walk out over his farm.
About 4 o’clock his wife and children
heard two, gun shots out in the pas
ture about 400 yards from the house,
but they thought nothing of it, as
Mr. Evans was in the habit of tak
ing hi s gun with him. A heavy rain
came up and as he did not return
home they went out to look for him.
His two children found him lying in
the pasture about 6 o’clock. He had
shot himself twice. The first shot
glrzed his breast and shot his arm
badly The next shot went through
his abdomen. It must have been
some time after the second shot was
fired hefore he died, as the ground
around him showed that he had
struggled quite awhile after the
fatal shot was fired.
Mr. Evans was a splendid citizen.
Ha leaves a wife and two children,
Annie and James. He was about
fifty years of age.
He was ■ buried Thursday at Beth
lehem.
The deceased was a brother of
Mrs. Joseph W. Williams, of Law
renceville.
TWO OF GAINESVILLE’S MOST
PROGRESSIVE YOUNG MEN
The great success accomplished by
Mr. Earl Terrell in the management
of the Gainesville Coca Cola Bottling
Co., seems to have attracted the at
tention of the home plant in Atlanta,
and recently Mr. Harold A. Terrell,
a younger brother, was appointed
manager of the plant at Lawrence
villc. It would seem that a lining
for the business is a family trait,
for Harold seems to have absorbed
the new business rapidly, for last
week he was notified that he had
been picked for the position of sales
manager of the home plant in At
lanta. Harold expects to leave Law
renceville for Atlanta shortly. It is
understood that Earl Terrell was
tendered this position, but due to his
success at Gainesville and his rela
tions with his home city he preferred
to remain among his many friends
there.
It is more than gratifying to the
numerous friends of these two young
men to note their progress and ad
vancement in their selected vocation
and though they would like to help
keep Harold here, they wish him the
best of luck and continued success.—

Vidalia, Ga.—The champion rat
tlesnake was killed Wednesday by a
picnic party near Gordon’s Bridge,
this county, the snake having a to
tal of sixteen rattles and a button,
and his body was as thic karound as
a half gallon fruit jar. His snake
ship was coiled in the and wait
ed there until the party went half a
mile for a gun with which to kill
him, it being deemed unwise to
tackle the snake with sticks after
viewing the pile he made when coiled
ready for battle.
MILLION PAID TO
CO-OPJEMBERS
Atlanta, Ga. —Members of the
Georgia Cotton Growers’ Cooperat
ive asociation are receiving checks
representing the fourth payment on
the cotton sold this season through
the association. The payment
amounts to aproximately $1,000,000
and brings the total paid to the
members up to $5,787/712.69.
The fourthp ayment is made on
the basis of 2 cents a pound for
white midling cotton, and runs the
advance alreadymade to members up
to 22 cents a pound, which is more
than the non member farmers of
Georgia averaged for their crop last
fall. A fifth and final payment will
be made before July 31, at which
time the cotton year ends.
During the present season the as
sociation has handled only about
one-tenth of the Georgia crop. Indi
cations are that a great deal more
will be sold cooperatively next year.
From February 1 to May 1 the as
sociation received 10,000 new mem
bers and contracts are being re
ceived at the rate of 250 a day.

HARDWICK’S LAST
SPEECH TO BE AT
TACK JASOLINE
Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Hard
wick’s farewell message to the gen
eral assembly wil be featured by an
attack upon the oil inspection sys
tem and oil inspection laws of the
state, in which he will charge, in ef
fect, that Georgia is a “dumping
ground” for inferior gasoline. He
will recommend a radical change in
the law, and will urge that the num
ber of oil, inspectors be reduced ma
terially.
The governor, it is stated, will as
servate that the pjresent oil inspec
tion law is antiquated and wholly
inefficient in protecting the people
against gasolne of a quality so poor
that it could not be sold in other
states.
Gasoline now being distributed in
Georgia is tested for specific gravi
ty, and this test, the governor will
charge has been discarded by the
United States government and many
state governments. The modern
and accepted method of testing mo
tor fuel, Mr. Hardwick will assert,
is the so-called combustion tert—a
method he will contend that better
protects the public against inferior
gasoline. I
Lawrenceville Was the Baby Club at
the International Convention—Have
Fine Organization.
Lawrenceville was the baby club at
the meeting of Kiwanis International
held in Atlanta thi s week, and the
editor had the honor of representing
the local club at the convention.
It was a great body of men from
the four quarters of the North
American continent composed of
professional and business men, with
the latter predominating!
The body was presided over by
President George H. Ross, of To
ronto, and he dispatched business
with precision.
This wa s the seventh annual con
vention"' of this civic organization
and it hag made prodigious strides
since its recent birth. ~■*
The Objectives.
Kiwanis International has taken
two main objectives for the coming
year, they being a better understand
ing and co-operation between the
farmer and the business man, and
the under pdivileged child. This may
sound trite on the face of it, but
when pursued through its various
ramifications it is no small under
taking.
The whole country is dependent on
agriculture, and when it lags all feel
the effects. By making farm condi
tions better and securing a more re
munerative price for what is pro
duced on the soil the tiller will be
uplifted while all other interests will
be advanced.
Helping the under privileged child
was ably spoken to by Dr. Owen R.
Lovejoy, of New York, who showed
by the census figures that 10 per
cent of the children between the ages
of eight and fourteen were engaged
in work and had no opportunities of
securing an education. He said this
wasteful system amounted to killing
off 10 per cent of your customers
each year, and no business could
stand such a loss and Survive.
Music, which is one of the draw
ing cards of the clubs, was duly
stressed. We are beginning to real
ize what singing can do for any
assembly, hence it is emphasized at
all Kiwanig meetings.
The motto of the organization is,
“We Build,” and it is to be carried
out ir. the sprit of the Golden Ruit.
It was certainly a fine tody of men
who met on this occasion, and entry
of the delegates brought their wives
and other members of the family
along.
Atlanta, “Always Ahead,” provid
ed ample entertainment for the con
vention. Something was doing every
minute for the members when n>t
engaged in their regular business.
Tuesday evening at the auditorium
there was given a glimpse of the
old south in the presentation of
“Plantation Days,” which proved a
real treat to the vast multitude
which took it in. Rain interfered
with the barbecue served at the East
Lake club Wednesday afternoon, but
all found out what a genuine bar
becue was.
The next convention will go to
Denver, and no doubt a much better
report will be made at that time.
AN EXPENSIVE NOTICE

W . L . NIX,
Attorney at Law,
“Patron” Fires
Broadside on the
School Situation
Editor News-Herald: In my arti
cle last week headed "STUBBS
TRIES TO BANISH LOCAL FAC
TORY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL
BUILDING” I undertook to show
that our superintendent did not wish
the attendance of the factory child
ren in our school on top of the hill.
A reading of the article will con
vince any one with a thimble full of
sense that what I was driving at was
that he did not want these children
in our new school building and in
the school where he was supposed to
be teaching—the school on top of
the hill. All through the article ref
erence is made to the school there.
Even the heading of the article
showed that reference was made to
the school on top of the hill, the new
school building.
I see the Chairman and Secretary
of our Board have “resoluted” that
Supt. Stubbs has not tried to pre
vent these children from attending
what they term “our public schools.”
This is in effect a plea of guilty to
my charge and also a plea of avoid
ance, avoiding saying anything
about Stubbs trying to keep them
from our school, our one school, our
school on top of the hill. That is
the only school we have here for
white children. They did not “res
olute” that he had not tried
to keep them out of our school but
they used the words “our public
schools.” It is evident to anyone
who will pause to think that the
careful pleader, as the chairman of
our board is, desired to leave the im
pression he was answering my
charge when as a matter of fact he
was not doing so and he knew it.
"Our Public School*” he refers to
are the schools everywhere, at
Sweet Gum, Pine Log, Buzzard
Roost, Happy Hollow, and includes
every public school in the state. No,
Stubbs did not try t<s t?ep trlese
children from attending “Our Pub
lic Schools” for of course he did net
care where they went, whether to
Sweet Gum, Pine Log, Buzzard
Roost, Happy Hollow or anywhere
else, except on top of the hill in
Lawrenceville.
But even in this, I noticed two of
the board members preseent dl l not
vote for the “resolute.” One of
them is recorded as voting “NO” on
it, another one says he did not con
cur in it. Evidently one member of
the Board was absent as his name
does not appear. This only leaves
the Chairman and the Secretary. As
is well known, the chairman cannot
vote except in case of a tie, so it
seems this “resolute” was passed by
the vote of the Secretary alone—one
member.
I notice also that this “resolute”
says no member of the Board gave
out the information as to Mr. Stubbs
not wanting the factory children in
the school. Well as already shown,
one member of the board voted “no”
another says he did not consur in it,
another is conspicious by his absence,
the chairman cannot vote except in
case of a tie, so this left the Sec
retary alone voting on this also,
which was a part of the “resolute”.
Inotice also that one member of
the board in his card, among other
very interesting things, says Stubbs
"DISCUSSED FREELY THE
FACT-ORY SCHOOL SITUATION”
What “FACTORY SCHOOL
SITUATION” was it that Stubbs
discussed do freely? was it not a
scheme to try to keep the factory
children from attending our school?
--our school on top of the hill if you
please—and to have them segregated
to themselves in the factory town?
Does Stubbs deny that he has dis
cussed such a scheme. Will he deny
that he has discussed such not only
with members of the Board but with
other citizens, including some
ladies.?
Does either trustee Oakes, or Mc-
Gee deny that Stubbs has discussed
such a scheme? And will either of
them deny that Stubbs has suggest
ed spch a plan to them?
Is Chairman Oakes as sure about
this as he is about the Degrees he
says Stubbs has taken at Emory
University, the University of Georg
ia, and the University of Chicago?
Does he yet say Stubbs took the de
grees at all these places? Has he not
yet found out the truth about this?
I note also that one member of the
Board says that Stubbs, since he has
been here, “by his arbitary acts and
arrogant disposition has invited
criticism and encouraged dissension
amoung the patrons of the sch- ol’’
that Stubbs has also been “very free
in his criticisms of the Board’’ and
“dictatorial” and so on. Another
TWICE-A-WEEK
writer says of him “It is evident
Superintendent Stubbs is suffering
from an exaggerated Ego, and ob
sessed with the delusion that our
population is of a very poor in
tellectual average, and the school
children incapable es learning “and
so on.
Now, with such dissension on the
part of patrons and members of the
Board does any one believe Stubbs
is the man for our school?
Do the majority of the trustees
still think they acted with due judg
ment and discretion when they force
a Superintenent upon those patrons
of the school who have no confiden
ce in his ability and temperamental
make-up, and have good causes for
their personal dislike of him, there
by them in a position where
they are compelled to keep their
children at home or sacifice their
self respect by sending them to him
Have they so far forgotten that
these patrons of the school are per
mannet citizens who have spent ’hair
lives here, pay their taxes hare,
while they denounce them as spread
ers of untruth in order to help shild
and protect this bird of passage.
Do they think that this bird of
passage who, after .haveing been
here less than twelve months, was
discourteous and disrecpectful to
some of the mothers of the graduat
ing class when they appealed to him
for some sort of recognition; who
has let it be known that “there is no
material here with which to cornu ate
with other schools in our district
meets: who “by his arbitary acts and
arrogant disposition has invited crit
icism and encouraged dissession a
mong the patrons of the school; who
has “criticised the board, and the
building committee,” and who has
been “dictatorial” Disrespectfuly
and- rett
ed longer at the head of our school?
Will a majority of the Board listen
to the appeals of those of our citiz
ens who have done and are doing ten
thousand times more for the school
than Stubbs is doing or can do?
Or, will our worthy Chairman and'
Secretary get together again and
give us another “resolute.”
In my previous article I said noth
ing unkind of the Board and noth
ing at which they could or should
have taken offense. It was reelly
commendatory of them, as all who
read it will agaee, but was in con
demnation of our
tactics, and there was no occasion
for the hard language they used in
reply. However, the writer is not
mad and will not allow himself to be
made so and he suggests to the ma
jority of the board that they quit
making faces, quit getting mad,
quit saying and doing things they
will soon regret, but look around!
and feel about and find out, if they
can, where they are, and where Law
renceville is and will continue to be,
ifsomething is not done.
The writer had said all he intended
to in his previous communication,
and supposed his cadr would be ig
nored just as the appeal of the
mothers was ignored by Stubbs, and
then ignored by a majority of the
Board, but the character of the re
ply of the majority of the Board is
responsible for this card and for
others that may follow, as the half
has not yet been told.
