TWICE-A-WEEK VOLUME 52. THISJEEK By Arthur Brisbane On Plates of Gold. Why Fighting is Respectable. 93,000 Miles a Second. Whiskey, Champion Criminal. One hundred years ago Jbseph Smith, prophet, founded the “Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.” He received from Heaven gold plates, mysteriously engraved, and from them, diviinely guided, translated the Book of Mormon. At least, that’s his story. His fol lowers say it should not be ques tioned by Christians that accept a similar story from Moses, about the tablets of the law. Those that wisely respect all re ligions, denying none, are interested especially in the changes that have come over Mormonism, still full of vitality after 100 years. Joseph Smith made a prticular virtue of many wives for one man—so did wise King Colomon, by the wya. Modern Mormonism, rallynig un der the purple, blue and gold ban ner, “Cumorah-Ramah,” says, “one wife is enough.” That does not mean repudiating Joseph Smith. Many good Christians tone down Jonah and the whale, knowing that the earth is round, do not insist that the four angels actually stood at the four corners of the earth. All life is a compromise. The Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census, calculates the to tal wealth of the United States as about three hundred billions of dol lars, three thousand dollars for ev ery man, woman and child, nearly double the total wealth of 1912. One hundred per cent seems en couraging, and the Census Bureau figures may be technically accurate, but they don’t mean anything. V ! A lady asks why the Dempsey-Fir po fight is allowed. “Once,” says she, “prize fighters had to hide t.way in barns, like dog fighters. Now they have the police to keep order for them while they knock each oth er down. How can you explain that?” Easily. A big prize fight now is ■worth two million dollars to the pro moters. That makes it RESPECTA BLE. The owner of a little gambling house must hide way. The owners of a stock or produce exchange, where they bet millions, is respecta ble and protected. We have our weaknesses in this country, but we do show respect for anything above one million. One single IDEA might be worth three hundred billions—for instance, an idea supplying men with unlim ited free power from sun or tides. There are many times three hun dred billions worth of wealth below the earth in mines, oil, gas, coal, and in the earth’s thin crop producing carpet of soil. There are more than three hun dred billions dollars worth of nitro gen in the air above us. This is a rich country, but we need more peo ple, and Instead of encouraging them to come In, we foolishly keep them out. Henvy Ford is studying a better kind of boat to carry freight and passengers. If be produces it, he will add billions to the nation’s; wealth. The heighth of mechnicah folly Is carrying, on pounding rails nd wheels, freight that ought to glide, without friction or wear,: along thoesands <Jf miles of canals] and rivers. To enjoy a good headache, lead; Sir Ernest Rutherford, great Brit ish scientist, on the atom. A thous and atoms in the corner 'of your eye wouldn't, bother you. You wouldn’t know they were there. The atom, a complex unit of pure electricity, of which all sxbstances, elements, wealth, rocks, buildings, money and men are made, is a min iature solar system. It has a cen tral electron which is like the sun. Around it revolve dozens of small er electrons like planets. The elec trons farthest away from the cen tre, in this miniture solar system, travel slowly in their orbits—only five hundred miles a second. Those nearest the centre travel at the in conceivable speed of ninety-three thousand miles a sceond. What horrible forces are locked up in those minute particles of mntter- In such an “infra-world.” Who knows what may happen, what generations may be born and die in the fraction of a second? Who knows that this milky way cosmos of The News-Herald RUYAL ARCH MASONIC RALLY Mount Vernon chapter No. 39, R-val Arch Masons, will ho’d a rally oi Wednesday, October 24th, when the four capitular degrees in Ma sonry will be conferred on a large class of candidates. This meeting is being held in ac cordance with an edict issued by the grand high priest of the general grand chapter of the United States of America, and similar meetings will bi held on this day throughout this grand jurisdiction. Candidates who are exalted on this day will receive a diploma signed by the general grand high priest, the grand high priest of Georgia and also the high priest of Mount Vernon chapter. This will be a keepsake of which every Royal Arch Mason will be proud to possess, and will be legal information when presented to any chapter he may visit. The local chapter will convene at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and confer part of the degrees before night, ad journing at 7 o’clock, at which time they will meet at the new club room on the school house hi'J to be served will! a banquet prepared by the Wo man’s club. After the luncheon has been served the Masons will return .o their halll and complete the work of conferring the degrees. All blue lodge Masons within this jurisdiction are e ligible and their ap plication must be received on cr be fore October Bth.

Kelley is high priest of Mount Vernon chapter, and he is per fecting arrangements to make the 24th a gala day for capitular Ma sonry in Lawrenceville. MR. CHARLIE WALL HAS FINE COTTON Mr. Guy Green, A. G. Robinson and myself selected by Mr. Wall to measure his piece of ground went out to his farm Friday morning, September 28th, and did this, which results showed a fraction less than 10 acres in this demonstration con test of the American Cotton Associ ation. It would interest as well as profit any farmer to visit Mr. Wall’s farm and see the difference in his cotton that he followed strictly the require ments of poisoning and some he did not poison, besides the hospitality that he and his wife extend you. He will make from three quarters to a bale per acre ©a the ten acres he poisoned according to rules laid down and about one-third bale per acre on that he did not poison. W. H. POWELL.

YOUNG ROY GUNTER IN SERIOUS CONDITION Roy, the sixteen old sox of Mr. and Mrs. T. Clarence Gunter, was stricken with appendicitis Tues day afternoon and was rushed to Davis-Fischer Sanitarium where an operation was performed that right. Reports from his bedside are that while the operation was successful In saving his life he Is in serious con dition. Mr. and Mrs. Gunter and ether relatives are at his bedside snd ii is hoped that he wiß soon be on his way to recovery. Roy is a bright young man, a stu dent of the Lawreneeville High School and a valued emfdoyeeof Tht News-Herald. ours, compared to which the earth is as big as an atom compared with the earth itself, may not -b* a mere atom in a bigger cosmos? ' The power that holds together the atoms in a glassful of water would, if released, run all the machinery of the United States for an indefinite period. There’s another headache in that thought. A man asleep and drunk complains becuse thieves took his spectacles, flse teeth and money. That man shouldn’t complain of thieves, but of the whiskey that he drank. Whiskey is the chmpion thief, stealing not only money, but health, reputation, character, and finally life. LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1923. TEMPLE GRAVES PRAISES HARRIS PUBLIC), ETTER When Senator Win. J. Harris en tered the Senate of the United States after his wonderfully rapid rise from private life, I wrote for one of the current magazines a prediction that when his term was ended, he would be written in the records as pernaps not the most eloquent, but certainly as one of the most practica and use ful men who had served Georgia in that great assembly. The result of Senator Harr’si first term, now two thirds completed, have abundantly vindicated my prediction. He has had four years in the Sen ate. During this time he has had four different, colleagues and today he is the Senior Senator from Georg ia. He can soberly challenge the record that, within these years he has secured as much or more for Georgia-for Georgia men and wo men-for Georgia interests, as any previous Senator has done since Joe Brown utilized his ’’judgement” and his tact in the service of the State. I congratulate myself that I am not a bad judge of men. Appropriations Committee of the Senate which hand les all bills to provide money for the government under the budget system. He is the one Senator on htat com mittee form the entire southeast, and, excepting Senator Owen of Oklahoma, he is the only Southern memberof the committee from North Carolina to New Mexico. He is a member, and in several cases the ranking member of six sub committees which actually draft the bills-the War Department, Post Office Department,, including Federal aid for good roads, the De portment of Agriculture, the Depart ment of Commerce, Department of the Interior and the legislative estab lishments. The Committees of Im migration and Territories complete his important assignments. Through alert and active service the Senator has been largely instru mental in assisting the j>-arious mili tary activities in Georgia with ade quate appropriations, particularly at Fort Benning. The rivers and barbers of Georgia have received large allotments from the govern ment. Such important work as the development of pecans; the subjuga tion of the peach pest; the stations for boll weevil experiment work: tel egraphic reports on market and crop conditions for live stock, watermel one, peaches and other fruits and vegetables, have been assisted through Senator Harris’ efforts. He is the author of valuable legis lation written in the statutes of the 67th Congress, and several of his bills passed the Senate but failed of final action in the House. Among the laws which he introduced are the limitation of cost Fo $250,000 for the construction of Federal Reserve Bank buildings without consent of Congress; the amendment to permit small state basiks to enter the Fed eral Reserve system; the amend ments to the Federal Warehouse act to broaden the scope of products which migta. be stored, and to strengthen the warehouse receipts. Summing up the achievements and usefulness of a first term in the United States Senate, ciur Senior Senator fnom Georgia may well rest upon that record for a practical en dorsemera in 1924, as a pdfclic ser-> vant who has fulfilled the scriptural standard, “Diligent in bwsinasE, fer vent in ’Spirit”—serving the State.

READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS IN THE WEWS-HERALD THREE MYS COURT TRYING ONE CASE Gwinnets Superior court, which-j convened Monday morning, finished the case of Durham vs. Crow late Wednesday che jury revoking the deed. The verdict was “deed void by uncertainty of description." The case only involved shout twenty acres of land. The state vs. Cooley was taken mp nd w now being tried. This case has been in court for several years and involves an automobile condemna tion and has already been tried once the state winning and a new trial having been granted. It is not likely that any other civil business will be disposed of at this term as the court will’ probably ad journ Friday and the criminal docket is set for Monday. R. N.

WILL HAVE A TRACTOR SHOW AT LOCAL FAIR Because of the constantly increas ing number of uses to which Fordson Tractors are being applied the dis play of these power plants at the Lawrenceville faril will interest not only the farmer, but the contractor, I manufacturer and road builder as well, local Ford dealer. The exhibit has been arranged by the H. P. Stiff Motor Co., and will afford visitors an opporunity of be coming more intimately acquainted with the economic value of the Ford son. . More general recognition of the advantages of power farming has brought the Fordson into greater popularity in the agricultural sec tions of the country this year than ever before. On the farms it does duty in a variety oof ways-in the fields operating plows, discs, harrows, and other implements; in the farm yard, operating pumps, saw mills, feed mills, thresher, silo fillers and other equipment devised to lighten the burdens of the farmer. More remarkable, however, has been the recent growth of the Ford son as an industrial power plant. Developement of equipment to' fit Fordson power capabilities has been marked during the last year until at present there is almost no ob in whih power is needed but what the Fordson is filling the bill. In road construction and main tenance Fordson equipment is prov ing most their needs in operating as locomotives on narrow gauge tracts, hauling heavy trailers, running saw mills, pumps, eletric generators, rock crushers and other belt and gear driven pieces of stationary equip ment.

PREPARE DINNER FOR CONVICTS Oi: Saturday, September 29ta sumptuous dinner was spread at the temporary camp for the Gwinnett county prisoners by the citizens of Noicross, in which vicinity the pris oners have been working for the past few weeks. Bountiful quantities of barbecued pork and mutton were served, also Brunswick s.ew and the ladies were certainly liberal with their supp.y of sweets and delicacies for the table. Nobody had to “go slow” on the pies, cakes and custards fearing that there would not be enough for all. Thanks were offered by Mr. T. E. Johnston. Those serving were: Mes dames M. C. Rhodes, J. L. Mewborn, D. K. Johnston, J. D. Miller, Dr. Dur.san, Thos. McKinnon, Walter Ray aad Miss Annie Ray. Among those present were Mr. B. F. Summerour, mayor of Norcross, and Councilmen S. A. Martin, T. E. Johnston, J. R. Garner and C. Wingo. Though not needed in his official capacity, the presence of Policeman Kenney was welcomed in a more personal man ner. Mr. T. E. Summeropr had to be present or the day would not have been complete. Mr. Summerour, through his ability and wil ingness, has proven a wonderful as.-: '.ant in the progress of the work in this section. Commissioners Harris and Miller were present, but we regret to learn that Commissioner Jackson was detained on account of sickness in his family. Mr. Otis KeFey did net forget the date and place and proved the fact by his presence. We were sorry that Mr. M. C. Rhodes was un able to remain for dinner, but were grin to have his “second” in tie ptr sor of Mr. W. E.. Johnson, Iks frierd and visitor from New York City. Everyone ate so heartily that it seemed that each was content iu.-t tc be let alone for the time being, so there were no after dinner speeches However, the opportunity for ta king in a more personal manner was not overlooked. Little bunches of men were gathered, usually a commission er in the center of the circle, and tin subject .was invariably roads, good and better roads. Norcross is progressive, Therefore Norcross wants better roads. Nor cross wants better roads because Nor cross is progressing. There is no better way to judge a cpramunilv .ban by its churches, schools ant roads. The first step toward . Bciu ing these is to really Want thorn. *Tis needless to say* '.'rial those in bondage enjoyed the dinner. No on** present today has any doubt as to that. Such as this is a help to them In many ways. To let them know that there still; exists a feeling for them will cause them to take more interest in their work and in then daily living and it is reasonable tc believe that cultivating such will have a tendedey to strengthen their, morally. Cooperation is essential in any thing one may udertake. This today was an expression by the citizens es cooperation as well as appreciation both of which ai-e wonderful helps ic those in charge. If you will; let one know that you are pleased with his work, he will strive even harder tc please you. Appreciation is a form of cont;>" satinn, the value of which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. The recipients, as a whole, take this mer.ns of expressing their gratitude for not only what they receive 1 to day, but also for the kindly feeliv which has been so in evt lon e :!ur:n; their stay In- this section. Warden J A. Davis wishes to personally thank each and every citizen of this com munity for the hearty coopcratio.i hr he has been, and is, receiving; bu* wo! allow this to suffice u;.til fur ther opportunity presetts itself.

WEEK GWINNETT FAIR OPENS HERE ON OCTOBER ISTH From all indications the Gwinnett Agricultural asd Indus’ rial Fair will have the greatest display of favra I products as well as poultry, dairy cattle and hogs they have'ever had, and one that will be a credit to any county. • ■ ‘ This fair association deserves the credit of doing more real work for the advancement of the Cow, the Sow and the Hen program than any other county organization is existence. They have done a great deal and said little about it. Thirty pure bred pigs were first distributed that has given the coun ty stock of pure bred hogs any county should be proud of. Farmers of this county have been able to kill' many hogs for pork that would have be<w a credit to any hog show. Last spring over 250 settings of pure bted eggs were distributed to all part.- of the county, and this has giv eo the encouragement for pure bre 1 dairy cattle until now the coun ty has a goodly numbei- of as good registered Jerseys as can be found. This fair has not been run for personal gain, for the records will show that no stockholder has ever received one cent even as interest on the niv;.»v invested. AW the money received has b?en paid out as prem iums and for hogs and poultry eggs to place out Into the county for more improvement. Bring what you can to the fair. Many eggs were brought into the county last year for hatching, when they should have been bought at home. The same is true of m’ny seeds and other farm products. Show what you have, so people can buy it. The Murphy Shows will furn'sH the amusements, and their up to date attractions are well known to all the patrons of the fair. FOURTH QUARTERLY CONFER ENCE M.
