INTEREST’G NEWS
OF DOINGS IN THE
CAPITOL CITY
Atlanta, Ga., December 10.—It is
from the dangers of her own young
beauty that the loyal family of four
teen-year-old Thelma Braswell have
snatched the little girl away a wall
ing prisoner into the seclusion of a
country valley.
“She is too good looking,” her
mother sighed when she explained to
the correspondent of this news ser
vice why Thelma and herself had
been forced to appeal to the law for
protection againnt the most ardent
of the daughfcpr’s suitors, Charlie
Smith. With a marriage license in
his hand, young Smith, twenty-three
years old, to Thelma with
the ancient proposal turned into a
command and a threat.
“The first time he saw her, Charlie
began raving to companions about
her beauty,” said the anxious mother.
“He told them he was going to marry
her.”
The mother has rushed her charm
ing daughter into a seclusion which
almost takes the place of a nunnery.
“I can never feel at ease about her.
She is just a child. And there will
be other men like Smith,” Mrs.
Braswell fears. Into the hands of an
elder brother and his wife the little
blonde beauty has been placed, with
babies to tend and dishes to wash
and many things to forget.”
President Coolidge Invited to .Sa
vannah.
The sixth forestry congress will
meet at Savannah, Ga., January 28,
29 and 30, according to the an
nouncement here of C. B. Harman,
who has been appointed chairman of
the entertainment committee for the
meeting.
Plans are being worked out to
have a committee of the congress
call on President Coolidge and to ex-,
tend an invitation to him to attend
the meeting. Col. , Joseph Hyde
Pratt, of Chapel Hill, N. C., chair
man of the executive committee, is
assisting in the plan to invite the
president.
Three Big Concerts Coming.
Tickets are being sold throughout
the state for three big concert at
tractions which are scheduled to be
held in Atlanta during January and
February under the auspices of the
Southern Musical Bureau of At
lanta, of which Russell Bridges is
manager.
John McCormack, the noted Irish
tenor, will appear at the auditorium
here on January 12th. Two days
later, January 14th. Sergei Rach
manioff, the great pianish-composer,
will be heard. On February 12th,
Fritz Kreisler, world-famous violin
ist, will appear. Both the Rach
maninoff and the Kreisler perform
ances will be given at Wesley Mem
orial hall, where Geraldine Farrar
Was denied admittance on the occa
sion of her recent visit to Atlanta.
Refusal to permit Miss Farrar to use
the Wesley Memorial hall, after con
tracts had been signed for her ap
pearance, came from the presiding
elder of the Methodist church, and
was said to be due to Miss Farrar’s
alleged obscene performance of
“Zaza” two years ago during grand
opera week.
Big Shortage in Cotton Crop.
One reason, and probably the
principal reason for the present
price of cotton, Atlanta cotton men
assert, is the government estimate
of a crop under 10.000,000 bales.
One crop reporting agency, it is
pointed out here, puts the estimated
crop at 9,600,000 bales.
This means a cotton shortage, the
cotton men claim, for the world has
"been accustomed to using a crop
totaling several millions of bales
more than the estimate for thi3 year.
A shortage of supply naturally
brings an increase in price.
But the higher price of cotton is
not bringing into the market all cot
ton that has been produced this year.
Many cotton growers had put their
cotton in storage warehouses, as
shown at the big Candler warehouses
in Atlanta, now operated by the
Cotton Storage Finance Company,
and they will profit by' the increased
price. Local cotton men state that
cotton warehouses in Atlanta have
“stock on hand” totaling thousands
of bales, and most of it belongs to
the producers who will realize a
good profit on it.
We are giving $2.00 per bushel
for all kinds of stock peas and we
pay the highest cash price for rem
nants of seed cotton. We sell loose
Cotton Seed Hulls at SI.OO per hun
dred lbs. and the very best 7 per
cent Meal at $2.35 per hundred.

WINGO FAMILY
BALL PjSSEi
a******
BY bStTULLIER,
In Atlanta Journal.
The Wingo family, of Nor; toss,
Ga., has produced two major league
baseball stars, and with both of them
spending their winter at home, the
town is full of baseball glory.
One is Ivey Wingo, veteran catch
er of thjp Cincinnati Reds, the wise
and respected helmsman of that
team; the other is Red Wingo—
Absolam Holbrook Wingo, whose
red head has flashed like a meteor
from the G. M. C. and Oglethorpe
teams to Detroit, where he is expect
ed to be one of Ty Cobb’s stars next
year. And added to all this is tne
recent romantic marriage of Red to
beautiful Grace Rutherford, of To
ronto, where the Norcross boy played
last year and led the league in hit
ting untli a bum thumb put him out
of the game.
Red came o Norcross after the
baseball season which was a sensa
tional success for him, and an
nounced that he was to be married.
The announcement was taken as a
matter of course. Quietly one day,
Red drove up to the Norcross sta
tion in his brand-new ■flivver just
before the steamed up. A
beautiful young girl stepped off.
She was Grace Rutherford, who had
come all alone from Toronto to be
come Mrs. Red. They were married
quitaly in a little Norcross church,
then went to Red’s home.
The wedding was a climax to a
romantic affair. Miss Rutherford’s
father was the most enthusiastic
baseball fan in Toronto. Naturally
he was interested in the red-hc.aded
young southerner who had such a
keen batting eye and such astonish
ing ability in the field. And natur
ally the young player would come
over to Mr. Rutherford’s box to
talk about the chances of the game.
It was natural, too, that he should
meet the beautiful, golden-haired
daughter who came with Mr. Ruth
erford, and who watched the young
baseball hero.
When Red lefl for home, Grace
said she would follow. A few days
after he reached Norcrcss, she ar
rived.
Red’s whole career has been like
that—full of surprises. The fame
of his brother, Ivey, caused great
things to be predicted for him even
when he was playing at G. M. C.
Later, when he was on the Ogle
thorpe team, he received an offer
from Greenville, in the Sally league,
the same team on which Ivey had
started ten years before. That was
in 1918. Next year, he was with the
Crackers.
The Athletics drafted him for a
trial, but somehow the young player
failed, and came <back. Then To
ronto saw his possibilities, and
bought him outright. This verdict
was justified for Red batted .364
last year, and was among the league
leaders in fielding. Ty Cobb’s scouts
saw him, and now he is to be with
that famous team.
Once when Red was a boy, he was
in a peachtree, eating the ripe fruit.
Suddenly he lost his balance and fell
through a glass window.
Ivey’s Heady Playing
When the alarmed family found
him, blood was flowing from a deep
cut on his leg, and his father, a doc
tor, decided to sew it up at
He filled a hypodermic with a local
anaesthetic, but, when he tried to in
sert it, the needle broke. So he
sewed up the cut anyhow, sitting on
the good leg and holding the wound
ed one.
Totally different from Red is his
brother, Ivey. Ivey can’t remember
when he didn’t play ball. When he
was a little boy in knee pants, the
boys of Norcross wouldn’t let him
play on their team because he was so
little. Finally, one day, when they
w T ent out of town for a game, little
Ivey begged so hard to go along, that
they decided to ues him for a utility
man. Taking a chance, they put him
in the field.
Almost the first play, a long, sky
high fly came his way. It hit him
on the head. Ivey didn’t seem to
mind.
“If a lick like that doesn’t hurt
hmi, we’ll let him catch,” decided his
teammates, and Ivey found his posi
tion. He’s caught ever since.
Ivey’s first professional engage
ment was with Greenville, in 1908.
From there he went to St. Louis,
and shortly afterwards, to the Reds,
where he became a permanent fix
ture. Ivey has the reputation of be
ing one of the most dependable play
ers in baseball. He can pick a man
off second, and has batted around
275 year in and year out. He knows
every player’s weakness. The only
change is that his knees have begun
to bother him from stooping so

Walks in the Night
A few years ago, Ivey was visiting
a friend at Norcross, who put him in
an upstairs bedroom. During the
night, Ivey turned somnambulist and
rose out of his bed. Used to his
ground floor room, he walked
straight to a little porch, through a
thin railing and crashed to the
ground twenty feet below. He didn’t
wake up. He started to walk back
upstairs, and woke up suddenly half
way up. The shock put him in bed
for a week.
On our visit to Norcross Ivey was
found in old, workaday clothes, put
ting up a garage back of the pretty
little home he had built. But Red
was more carefully dressed, as be
fitted a man on his honeymoon, and
was in his backyard playing with his
two pets, “Billy,” a tame ’coon, and
Spot, his black collie. Billy is so
tame he will climb up visitors as he
does his native trees, and nose
around in pockets for stray peanuts
and pieces of candy.
Red and Ivey are both famous
hunters, and most of their spare
time away from baseball is spent
with gun and dog in the fields. Their
hunting grounds range from the
swamps of Florida to the mountains
of Pennsylvania.

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
METHODISTS SHOCKED.
DOC COOK AGAIN.
MEN ARE DULL—VERY.
The Business man’s “bad Presiden
tial year” will not be a bad year, un
less merchants and people combine
to make it so.
A god year depends on good buy
nig. Nothing in the election of a
President preventspeople buying the
usual supplies, from ice cream sodas
to fur coats, from factory sites to
bungalows.
This Presidential year ought to be
our most prosperous year. The elec
tion reminds the people that this
country is managed by its inhabi
tants, for the benefit of the inhabi
tants, when' they take the trouble to
vote thoughtfully.
Europe is worried, harassed, na
tions mistrusting each other, taxing
each other’s products. Here we have
one hundred and ten millions of peo
ple living at peace in forty-eight
different states, all trading freely,
back and forth, from ocean to ocean.
While other nations lack food and
raw materials, our problem is to get
rid of our surplus on a profitable
basis.
We haven’t even begun to scratch
the wealth of this country. Wages
are higher than they ever were; pros
perity is greater than it ever was;
and there is more money to be spent
than there ever was.
Nineteen hundred and twenty
four, the Presidential year, ought to
be for the maximum year of Ameri
can prosperity for all time.
It will be if the pessimists will al
low it.
The King of Denmarx, who was
told a while ago that Dr. Cook had
discovered the North Pole, has now
been told that Dr. Cook is sentenced
to fourteen years in jail for swindles
in connection with oil wells.
Psychologists, if they examined
Dr. Cook, would probably find that
he has the brain and the imagination
of a young school boy.
Years ago he exhibited himself in
a dime museum in New York, with
Esquimau dogs, sleds and heavy furs,
and gradually imagined himself a
real explorer. Finally, he imagined
that he had discovered the North
Pole—perhaps he almost believed it.
There is no penalty for imag.ning
that.
But when he imagined that he had
discovered valuable oil wells ano sold
stock—that was a different matter.
The Methodist Episcopal Board
of Public Morals has things to say
about the stage in New York. Young
ladies, it seems, many at a time,
“troop down to the footlights naked
from the waist up, and practically
naked from the waist down —don’t
call it nude, just plain naked,” so
say the board.
Much seems to depend on what
people are doing, and why and
where. In ancient Greece young
girls ran in the races entirely naked
without hurting anybody’s morals.
Their intentions were good. That
makes all the dfiference.
Many things on the stage are
both immoral and stupid. Women,
as now presented to the public, are
about as interesting as so many
“sides” of dressed beef hung up in
a butcher shop. Managers ought to
know that.
A few years ago, even Henry Ford
wouldn’t have thought this possible.
He will talk, through the air, from
his WWI station at Dearborn, using
his 360 metre wave, across a thou
sand miles of this continent, three
thousand miles of the Atlantic
Ocean, to men and women “listening
in’ in England.
That miracle would have astound
ed those living when the Old Testa
ment was written.
Let’s hope that in a few thousand
years, with every human being able
to talk at will with any other on
earth, men will decide to stop mur
dering each other, and follow Jos
eph Pulitzer’s advice, “Don’t fight;
advertise.”

FORD MOTOR CO.
SAVES ITS DOST
Detroit, Mich.—For more than
three years the Ford Motor Compa
ny at its River Rouge plant here has
been saving dust until today a veri
table mountain of it, containn.g at
least 50,000 tons, stands out in im
posing proportions at one place on
the plant grounds.
Of course, it isn’t dust in the or
dinarily accepted terms, but a much
more valuable property.
It is blast furnace dust, a fine,
sand like substance which is blown
from the furnaces in the blast and
utterly worthless in that state, but
valuable because fifty per cent of
it is iron ore. The other fifty per
cent is coke dust.
So the" Ford Motor Company has
been saving it until the time comes
when the iron ore could be reclaim
ed, and in example of the value of
litle savings this certainly stands
out as among the most striking.
A moment’s figuring will show jt.
Of the 50,000 tons in the dust moun
tain at River Rouge, 50 per cent or
25,000 tons is iron in dust form.
The Ford Model T cylinder casting
when finished weighs 82 pounds,
and reclaiming of the 25.000 tons of
iron ore dust means sufficient iron
for more than 000,000 cylinder cast
ings.
The company has now’ started to
reclaim this dust through the new
sintering plant which has just be
‘gun operations and which forms an
other highly interesting feature of
the River Rouge activities.
The Sintering Plant, a model of
efficiency, is erected in close porx
imity to the two big blast furnaces
and joins the giant ore bins from
which the furnaces arc fed.
The furnace dust, caught up in
suction conveyors, is carried directly
to the Sintering plant and there is
mixed with cast iron borings gath
ered fro mthe various Ford manu
facturing units.
Conveyors also carry the mixed
dust and borings to the plant and
dump the mixture into the Sintering
pan which is of three ton capacity.
A gas flame of intense heat is
massed ovw the dust and action of
the coke, under this heat and the
suction draft fuses the mixture into
chunks of sufficient size and weight
for use in the furnace and thus the
iron ore in the dust is reclaimed.
Fcrd sinter ore as produced at the
new River Rouge Plant is of finer
quality than any on the market, run
ning between 70 and 75 per cent
iron. It is considered an important
blast furnace material and because
of its porous nature permits better
and more effective operation of the
blast with the result that the fur
nace product is more uniform and
therefore a higher quality iron for
the castings.
An average of fifty tons of blast
furnace dust comes from the two
furnaces daily. The Sintering Plant
willp roduce more than 250 tons of
sinter a day due to the mixture of
iron borings and dust, which speeds
up the process of reducing the sin
tering period from 20 to 30 minutes
under ordinary circumstances to
about seven minutes. At least 100
tons are being taken every day from
the great mountani of dust which the
company has been saving and it is
estimated that at this rate it will
take a year and a half to use up the
mountain and turn it into Ford iron.

| LEGISLATURE!
Atlanta, Ga., December 10.—De
spite the deadlock that existed over
the Lankford income tax bill when
the Georgia general assembly ad
journed Friday, supporters of Gover
nor Walker’s tax reform program
were still optimistic Saturday that
some form of revenue bill will be
passed by the middle of tile present
week. They do not say whether it
will be the Lankford bill or the Ellis
statutory income .tax measure, but
admit that the latter has the best
chance, as it does not require the
support of two-thirds of the entire
membership of both branches of the
assembly.
The chief danger sensed by sup
porters of the tax reform program is
the threat of many members of both
houses to stay at home for the re
mainder of the extra session. This
threat was made by several advo
cates of the tax bills, who were dis
appointed at the refusal of the sen
ate to agree to a conference commit
tee recommendation on the Lankford
measure Friday afternoon. One of
the members who declared that he
saw no hope for constructive legisla
tion was Senator Phillips, of Louis
ville, a member of the state tax com
mission.
It is predicted that the entire
strength of tho tax reform group in
both houses will be thrown to the
Ellis bill, if the Lankford measure is
finally defeated. With all support
ers of the administration voting for
it, the Ellis bill would be certain of
passage in the house, and would
have a good chance in the senate, it
is believed.
Governor Walker stated Saturday
that he hoped the members of both
houses would see the importance of
being in tlieir seats throughout the
week, as the fate of the revenue re
form program doubtless will be de
cided within the next few days of
the session. The governor would not
comment on the present situation,
but declared that he will continue to
bend every effort to have the pro
gram of the extra session carried
out. 1
Ellis Is Optimistic.
Representative Robert C. Ellis, of
Tift county, vice chairman of the
state tax commission, is of the firm
opinion . that his statutory income
tax bill can be passed, whether the
Lankford constitutional amendment
measure is adopted or defeated.

GEORGIA HAS
MORE THAN HER
SHARE OF BOOZE
Atlanta, Ga., December 11.—Geor
gia led the entire nation in the num
ber of stills and distilleries seized
and destroyed during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1923, according to
the official report of Internal Reve
nue Commissioner David H. Blair for
the. period, a copy of which was re
ceived Monday by Fred D. Dismuke,
director of federal prohibition forces
in the s*ate.
Stills and distilleries numbering 2,-
946 were seized in Georgia during
the twelve-month period, represent
ing approximately 14 per ccn,t of all
stills and distilleries seized in all
states. Virginia was Georgia’s
closest rival with 2,032 seizures.
Georgia was first in. the seizure
and destruction of malt liquor or
beer, with 2,338,078 gallons, and also
was first in the number of still
worms seized with 734.
The state was third in the amount
of whisky destroyed with 24,312
gallons; was second in the number of
liquor cars seized with 198, and was
fourth in the number of arrests and
prosecutions with 3,438.
The value of all property seized
and destroyed in the state during the
year by the federal agents was $633,-
367. To this was added $104,070,
the appraised value of the 198 liquor
automobiles and $1,099, the ap
praised value of other undestroyed
material.
“While on the face of figures,
Georgia seems to be the worst liquor
hole in the United States, I do not
think it is,” Director Dismuke said.
“I just believe the prohibition force
in Georgia, despite the smallness of
its personnel, has been more active
and more efficient than any other
state force.
“I believe Georgia is as clean from
a whisky standpoint as any other
state, and that it is much cleaner
than many states. This is particu
larly true since the smuggling sit
uation at Savannah has been cleaned
up."
According to the report, California
led the union in the number of au
tomobiles seized wdth a total of 335,
California was also first in the num
ber of arrests and prosecutions with
5,443; New York was second with
4,927; Texas was third with 3,438.
