TWICE-A-WEEK
VOLUME 52.
FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION TO BE
SPENT BY R. R.
M *
Atlanta, -News that the rail
roads of tfietSouth are expending
some four jiundred million dollars
for expansinon 'anti improvement is
welcome bath as a proof of vigor
and as a projpise of service, accord
ing to Atlanijp editors and business
men who have commented on the
latest figures received by railroad
executives.
The outlay of so large a sum for
materials that come from basic in
dustries and for payrolls that go
streaming into the broadest channels
of trade, as pointed out here, means
much to the common weal. Nearly
half a billion dollars thus sown will,
it is declared, yield harvests of pros
perity far and wide. It is significant
that funds for this purpose are pro
curable, and more so that they are
turned to swift account for the gen
eral business good.
But most significant, Atlanta bus
iness men and manufacturers show,
is the preparation which the rail
roads thereby make for an ever in
creasing volume of traffic. The war
years brought the country* as a whole
to realize what close observers had
long perceived—that its transport fa
cilities were being outgrown.
A many sided problem it was and
is; a problem ni which the carrier,
the shipper and the public have com
mon concern, andw hich must be
solved for their common advantage.
Elsewise industrial and commer
cial expansion, instead of making
for the enrichment and economic
health, it is asserted here, will be in
the nature of a dropsical disease.
As Atlanta business men point out,
farmer, manufacturer, merchant and
the millionaire activities that cluster
about, all suffer if transportation be
not adequate and efficient.
Hence, it is shown here, the high
importance of the present upbuild
roads of the south. Such develop
ment, as leading editors here point
out, particularly Major John S Co
hen, editor of the Atlanta Journal,
“should be fostered by every in
fluence in keeping wih the public
welfare. Certainly,” Editor Cohen
says, “it should not be hindered by
needless or heedless legislation.”
public utilities, as Editor Omen
That railroads, along with other
clearly shun, sh iT be regulated
for the common good is, in his opin
ion, no longer debatable.
“But regulation, if it is to serve
the common good, Editor Cohen con
tinues, “must be intelligent, far
thinking, constructive.”
There were introduced in the
course of one year, 1921, statistics
here show, as many as five hundred
and eighty-eight different pieces of
state legislation touching railroads
in the United States. Among them
were: A bill prohibiting locomotives
from running backward; a bill pro
hibiting the smoking of tobacco on
trdins; a bill prescribing fifty miles
a day as the minimum distance for
the average freight car (the aver
age for the country as a whole is
twenty-six miles a day); a bill re
quiring railroads to fence in the en
tire right of way.
One legislature, it appears, ac
tually passed a bil, stipulating that
“when two trains meet at a cross
ing, they both shall stop, and neith
er shall proceed until the other has
passed.” <

The News-Herald
SAYS LABOR
SHORTAGE WILL
BE PERMANENT
—U—
The one ques||« I ,uently
asked •’How is the
shortage o. .coor problem to be solv
ed?” Our own opinion is htat it
is never going to be solved. In other
words no America now living will
ever see the time when there will
not be ashortage of farm labor from
the viewpoint of the landowner and
especially of the man who ownes or
farms a large acreage.
It rather “riles” this class of farm
er to tell him there is no shortage of
farm labor, but from the standprint
of the amount of production* or the
acres cultivated, we already have
too many men on the farms of the
South, those still on Southern
farms must cultivate more acres and
product more per man before
will be any need for more laborers
or any inducement for others to go
on our farrps.
Again, while there is am uch great
er shortage of; farm labor in some
other sections of this country than
there i in the South, still taking the
countyr as a whole, it is perfectly
evident that there are more or, the
farms than required to produce such
farm products as the world will pay
a fair price for or such a price as
to* induce those already on the farms
to produce more or to tempt others
to go into agricultural work.
If by immigration, or by exodus
form cities, every farmer now com
plaining of a shortage of labor could
have his full demands supplied, the
wages he will pay or can afford to
pay, with his present per acre produc
tion and the present prices of farm
products, would not keep these men
on the farms beyond one season.
The problem is in large measure an
economic one and there can be no
ready made or over night solution.
The tendency in this country, for
the last 100 years, at least, has been
toward an increse in the proportion
of the, popyltion living in the cities
and towns probably because a small
er required to produce
the farm products required. The
use of farm machinery and power
has greatly increased the farm pro
ducts produced per man. But as
yet the South has no serious shortage
of farm labor. Individual farmers
are short of labor. For the system
of farming we have been following,
and are still following on most farms,
there is often a shortage of labor,
but considering the acres cultivated,
the amount produced per man and
the methods of utilizing that dabor
which we have, there is no Shortage
of labor. There are enough men
now producing and cultivate every
acre now cultivated. In fact, to keep
the labor as we now have it would
be necessary that they at least double
their earnings and that cannot be
done under our present system of
farming. Necessity is the mother
of invention and necessity will alone
cause any people to change their
farming system.
The farm labor problem wll not
be solved but as laborers become
more scarce, as they most certainly
will fn proportion to city population
and acres cultivated!, the following
are seme of the changes that will
take place in our farming system.
1. A cropping system will be slow
ly, adopted that will give employment
for men, mules and equipment a
larger number of days in the year,
or that -will better distribute the
labor required throughout the year.
2. Mwe livestock, especially dairy
cows, hogs and poultry will be used
to gather the growth or crops grown
on many acres.
3. More and larger or more ef
ficent horses and mules and more of
other forms of power in proportion
to men will be used on farms.
4. Soil fertility and yields per
acre will be greatly increased so
that the earnings of those on the
farms may be increased.
5. A niore careful study will be
made of the most ecanomieal system
of farming and acres laborers, iip
plements nd power will be used more
efficently and economically.
When these things are done then
as many will remain on farms as
are required to produce such farm
products as the world will take at a
relatively fair price.—Progressive

WATCH YOUR
PAPER MONEY
Chicago.—Take a e'olse look at
the paper money in your roll.
Is there a suspicious thickness in
the corners of the bill where the
amount is printed? \
Are the fine lines in the deco
rative scroll work blurred?
Does the bill seem a bit off color
in its shading?
Y6s? wSsll, it’s probably coun
terfeit or raised, and you ought to
blame yourself for taking it.
Captain ThTomas I. Porter, isl
charge of the U. S. Secret Service
here,' who still is onthe trail of the
money makers in spite of his 77
years, will give you small consola
tion if you accept bad bills.
“Counterfeits makq tehir money
to pass only onec .” He warns.
“Thpy’re satisfied as soon as the
bill leaves their hands and they get
value for it. So they don’t have
to make them either permanent or
fit for the colsest inspection. Their
game, you know, is to pass their
money in rush hours on outlying
storekeepers.”
Captain Porter doesn't give the
counterfeiter credit for eithen
technical skill or romance.
“There’s no reason for his ex
istence, no type or psychology to
him. anyone who doesn’t want
to work, who feels the lure of easy
money, is a potential counterfeit
er. Most fake money is easy to
detect, even by the inexpert. Be
vigilant and you won’t take it.”
COMMITTEE VOTES f
IN FAVOR OF TAX
ON CIGARETTES
* Atlanta, Ga.—After a lengthly
hearing Thursday night on the bill
introduced by Representative Mill
ner, of Dodga-county, to place a tax
on cigaretts and cigars, t he house
ways and means committee postpon

on all cigarettes and a 10 per cent
tax on cigars retailing for more than
5 cents each, the proceeds to be turn

ter, managing editor of the Enquirer
Sun, of Columbus, and others.
Among those who opposed the bill
was A. H. Jackson, of Hahira, Ga.
representing the tobacco growers of
South Georgia. He presented a reso
lution from the tobacco grower’s as
sociation asserting that to pass the
il wouJC -seriously cipple the in
fant industry in th# southern part of
the state. This, it is understood, is
baed on statements that if the bill
is passed, tobacco buyers will not buy
the Georgia 'chop.
Other-speaking against the bill in
cluded W. W. Webb, of Valdosta J.
E. Webb, of Lowades county; .1. W.

would seriously handicap the tobacra
growing industry in Georgia.

LUXURIES ARE IN
STRONGDEMAND
Atlanta, Ga.—People are getting
back to their former habits of ex
travagance and to the old love for
luxuries which war time prosperity
encouraged, it is indicated by sta
tistics gathered and announced by
statistical experts.
It appears that the increased pros
perity of the past two years has in
creased America’s appetite for dia
monds, ostrich feathers, pearls and
a lot of other things that they had
almost learned to get along without.
Atlanta jweelers, particularly dia
mond experts in the Peachtree Ar
cade, have received figures which
show that diamonds now are coming
into the United •States in increased
quantity and of greater value than
last year and in much greater quan
tity than in any year since the World
War started. ,
Atlanta business men, who have
been studying tile statistics, say that
this increased tendency to buy the
luxuries and non-essential things is
unmistakable evidence of a general
prosperity. People are making more
money now, wage earners are more
regularly employed and at better
wages and money is more plentiful
and more in circulation than In the
past year or two. and the effect is
seen, it is pointed out here, in a re
vival of the buying of things that
never do have a good sale in lean
pjeriods.
LIQUOR OWNERS
MAY HELP PAY
FOR TEXT BOOKS
Georgia liquor owners will be tax
ed, at the rate of $2 per gallon, in
order to cover the expense of furnish,
ing free chool books in all state
supported schools, under provisions
of a bill which, it is stated, will be
introduced in the house next Mon
day.
Representative Russell, of Barrow,
and Camp, of Cambell, are joint
authors of the proposed measure,
which, according to their estimate,
will raise approximately $150,000
per year.
Under the plan it i proposed that
in qvery liquor case, tried in the state
counts, it hall be the duty of the
prosecution to establish the total
amount of intoxicating beverage
owned by the person on trial, the
judge in imposing sentence must add
a sufficient sum to the amount of
the fine, to provide an additional
two dollars per gallon. This is to be
remitted to the state treasury and
upon warrant drawn by the school
commissioners of the county, it to
be paid to them for the purchase of
school books. This additional find
shall be imposed both when the de
fendant pleads guilty and when he
is convicted after trial.
In case where ownership is estab
lished, but without actual conviction
in court, the tax collector may isue
writ of attachment against th# real
property of said owner to satisfy the
claim for the $2 per gallon tax.
The biR provides that the income
from this source shall he used ex
clusively lot the purchase of school
books, and that the first year it
shall he ued to bay books for the
first and second grades. Two more
grade* are to he supplied the econd
year, and so on for five years, until
all are completely equipped.

LOCALS WIN IN
FASTBALLCAME
FROM WINDER
BY RICHARD MARTIN.
Backed by sensational support
Harel Wall, returned to Lawroncr
ville Friday afternoon just long
enough to show the fans, that he
hasn’t forgot how to chuck baseball.
Harle, although touched for nine
bingles, kept his hints so well scatter
ed that the Winder club was only
able to get but two runs. The score
was 7 to 2, in favor of the locals.
Harle had easly sailing after he
was spotted a four run lead in *the
fifth inning and trotted under ihe
wire at an easy pace. His pitching
although not of the sensational kind
was pood enough to keep him from
losing.
As we mentioned in the first para.
Wall was accorded some mighty nifty
backing. Two pretty catches- were
made an converted into doubles. In
the fifth inning Jay Partridge made
a high dive after Dowi’s liner back of
second caught it, and doubled Deaton
off second. In the ninth Mule Martin
checked off what looked like a promis
ing rally for Winder when he stabbed
Cheeks line drive down the third base
line and doubled H. Hill off first.
The locals hopped on Deatons
crooks in the first inning. After
Partridge and Dowis had rolled out,
Martin was safe when Ollis Dowis
kicked his grounder. Then good old
Salty Davis stepped up with his
bloody stick and crashed a double to
center field that sent Mule home.
Things rocked along until the four
th inning when Winder got busy.
Dunn and Feagan flew out to left
field. Arnold cracked one to center
that should have only been a two
bagger, but he got four bases on it
when it bounced over the fence.
Williams beat out an infield tap,
and tallied when Dumpy Hill tripled
to right field. Cheek stopped the
rally by roling out to Cree Daven
port.
The locals knotted things in their
half of the fourth. Davis and Daven
port were easy outs. Kelley singled
to right field, and when Jim Garner
tripled" to the same spot that Hill got
his Plu raced across the pan.
Then came the big frame, every
thing seemed to go wrong with the
visitors. Wall started things off
with a single between second and
first. Partridge beat out a bunt to
Dunn. Hub Dowis drooped a short
single back of second base. Wall
scored when Hill let one get through
him. Martin walked, again filling
the sacks. Davis lifted a high sacri
fice fly to center field Partridge
scoring, and every runner moved up
a peg. Davenport bounced a hit into
left field scoring Dowis and Martin.
In a general mix up Davenport went
to third sliding safe. Tearing his
trousers doing so. While he was look
ing at his torn article to see that
every thing was safe, Deaton caught
him off the bag. Plu Kelley ended
things by rolling out. 1
Scoring ended in the eight after
Davenport was safe on Dunns error,
and scored On Kelleys long hit to
center.
Andy Chambers, of Georgia fame,
called balls and strikes and did a neat
job of it. He was assisted by Col. A.
T. Patterson, just back from Burtons
dam, where he spent a very plesant
week, so he says. These umpires
umped a good game, their verdicts
wasn’t disputed, by either fan 3 or
players. Something unusual about
that.
Manager Richard H. Youny, of the
local team, is planning on giving the
fans some real baseball within the
next few weeks, and only asks the
fans support.
Jay Smith watched the game from
the bleachers and it looks like he’ll
be able to get going with the locals
in about another week. Let’s hope
so anyway.

TWICE-A-WEEK
JUNE REPORT
BETTER THAN
JUNE LAST YEAR
t.
Atlanta, Ga.—General business
conditions in the Sixth Federal Re
serve*- District, comprising Georgiy,
Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Missis
sippi and Louisiana, as announced
here today in the monthly bank re-,
view of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta; have exhibited a slackening
in some lines of activity which, ag
the review points out, is usual at this,
time of the year.
Retail trade, as reflected in re
ports made to the Review by a num
ber of department stores throughout
the district, showed a .more favor
able comparison with last year dur- '
ing June than had been the case in
any recent month, excepting March,
which will be remembered as the
peak of business for the spring and
summer of 1923.
Wholesale trade for June shows a
slowing up, which, it is stated, is due,
at least in part, to the usual season
al influences which bring about a
period of qutiet during the summer.
Reports received from 190 retail
and wholesale merchants are by no
means pessimistic, according to the
Bank Review, and most of them
state that with a fain outturn of the
agricultural crops of this section, the
fall and winter months should prove
satisfactory from hte standpoint of
the volume of business.
Agriculture, of course, hte Review
says, hAs a dominating influence up
on the condition of business all
through the South, and especially
where cotton is the money, and prin
cipal crop raised. The purchasing
power of the farming poulation is
directly dependent upon the out
come of the crops, and business con
ditions are usually favorable or un
favorable, as agricultural produc
tion ’is favorable or otherwise, ac
cording to the Review.
The second report issued by the
Department of Agriculture, to
which the Review calls attention,
shows that the condition of the cot
on crop in he United States during
the period from May 25 to June 25
from.a condition of 71 per cent of
normal to 69.8 per cent of normal.
-vhi«h taken with the estimated acre
age of 38,287,000 acres, indicates a
probable crop of 11,412,000 bales}
for the season. « — * "
Cotton in the Sixth District, the
leview says, does not come up to the
general average for he United States
There has befell An increase in the use
of fertilizer, as well as weevil poison
but reports indicate also tha ttherfe
are larger numbers of the weev’,l ac
tive this year than before. ■<*
Commercial failures in the Sixth
District in June were substantially
smaller, both from the standpoint of
the total number, and total of liabili
ties of defaulted cvirw-erres, t!h#h dur
ing June last year, while dtfiu*
individual accounts at 25 principal
cities for the week ending July 11
totaled' $234,000,000, as against
$192,000,000 for the same week last
year. Savings deposits reported to
the Review by 99 bnaks, showed an
increase in June over May, and an
increase of about 14 per cent over
figures for June last year.
Liirtiber production by 142 mills
reporting to the Southern Pine As
sociation ’for June was somewhat
larger than during June last year,
while orders and shipments both
showeVf recessions. Building per
mits issued at sixteen large cities in
the Sixth’ Disrtict during June total
ed the third largest figures upon
record.
Cotton consumption in the cotton
growing states, as in the United
States at large, was somewhat smal
er in June than in May, but larger
than in June 1922.
