TWICE-A-WEEK VOLUME S 3. BUILT AS TIMBER ROAD, A.B.&A. BUILDS TOWNS Atlanta, Ga., December 17.—“1t reads like a story of ‘Jack and the Bean Stalk,’ the rapid growth and prosperity which followed the build ing of the 640 miles of railroad, which constitute the length of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway,’’ is the way A. D. Daniel, oassehgeg traffic manager of that road> pub it, when asked for a state ment. as |to activities along his line of road. Built primarily to carry timber to saw mills, the A. B. and A. has turned a stream of wealth into many sections through which it passes and is today a >transportation factor of importance not only to the southeast generally, but to other sections of the country with which the south east does business. “The timber to which the road once owed its existence has been cut down and in its place there have grown up prosperous farming and manufactur ing communities. One now beholds an agriculural and industrial ad vancement along the line of this short-line road where but yesterday, so to speak, barren waste, or timber lands awaited the woodman’s axe. While the territory traversed by" the A. B. and A. is primarily agri culural, manufacturing, which it has so strongly encouraged, has forged ahead at art almost phenominal rate. Along this line now will be found' cotton mills, knitting mills, otton seed oil mills, planing mills, tobacco stemming and re-drying plants, re fineries of naval stores, wood-work ing plants, steel and iron castings industry, machinery manufacturing plants, and various other manufac turing industries. • The territory traversed by thfo road is also productive of forest products, including naval stores, and is rich in mineral resources, includ ing coal, iron, limestone, clays, py rites, graphite and other minerals. Five coal mines, with a total capa city of 3,000 tons a day, are reached by this line of road. The A. B. and A. has an all-the year deep water terminal at Bruns wick, Ga., thus , establishing direct steamer connections with the east ern seaboard and Europe, Cuba and South America. The agricultural department of this road for a number of years has engaged most actively and effective ly in a campaign for diversified - crops along its lines. This has in cluded the raising of liye-stock. These efforts, in co-operation with those of other interests working to the same end, have resulted in the building of a number of new modern packing houses at several points on the line. The packing plant at Moultrie rep resents an investment of one million dollars; at Tifton the packing plant cost more than half a million, and three other plants at Waycross, At lanta and Birmingham, represent an aggregate investment of more than a million dollars. These plants handle in a half year more than a half million head of hogs and cattle, for which they pay farmers five mil lion dollars or more annually. National Prize-Winning Stock. As evidence that efforts to tn courage live-stock raising along this line of road have paid, the officials of the road point out that this in dustry has increased 100 per cent in its territory siri'ce the construction o: the road, and note that the razor back hog, once about the only va riety found in this section, has prac tically disappeared from the coun try. As further evidence, the railroad officials cite the fact that a breeder on this line won at the International Live Stock Show in Chicago, in 1920, the grand championship prize for the best Polan-China boar, and at the same time a similar prize for a Poland-China sow. In 1919, a breed er on this road won at the Chicago International Live Stock Show, the grand championship prize for the best Hereford bull. It is noted that the live-stock in dustry has also encouraged the rais ing of corn, and that farmers in the A. B. and A. territory produce an nually more than twenty million bushels of corn, or two and a half times as much as they did less than ten years ago. Tobacco, an entirely new crop for this section, was intro duced by agricultural agents of the road and has made fortunes for growers and is now recognized as one of the most important crops in south Georgia. In order to meet the growing de mands made upon the A. B. and A. due to development in its territory, during the present year improve ments have been made or are under construction costing many thous ands of dollars. ITinßßEws-l lerald CONGRESSMAN BRAND RE TAINS POST ON BANKING Washington, December 17.—Repre sentative Brand, of Georgia, has de cided to remain on the banking and currency committee of the house, now an exclusive committee, and to drop his membership on the commit tees on education and expenditures in the interior department. Under a new arrangement made re cently by ttya. democratic caucus in the house the banking and currency committee becomes an exclusive committee, which meanji that its members can serve on no other com mittee. It now ranks third in im portance among house committees, next to ways and means and inter state and foreign commerce. WHAT BECOMES OF THE LICENSE FEES? Forty-eight states collected 5152, 367,023 in 1922 as receipts from au tomobile license fees. The cost o£ collection, the cost of the plates themselves, and other expenses was less than million dollars, so that a tot;/of $148,750,000 was left as the net receipts to be spent oh highways. '* ITiis sum is divided nto appropria tions for the State highway depart ments, 16 millions; Federal aid funds 34 millions; maintenance of Federal aid roads, 32 millions; constructon of other than Federal aid roads, 6% millions; maintenance of other than Federal aid roads, 21% millions: and given as ad to counties, 25% mil lions. New Hampshire collects the larg est revenue per individual car or truck, getting an average of $25.73 each, while Arizona is easiest upon car owners from the license stand point obtaining but $5.69 each.

You Tell ’Em “I like your new gown, m’dear— It fits perfectly.” “Yes—it does fit well—but not nearly as perfict as the fit Ceorge had with the bill.” GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20 1923. R. ns ONE OF hmor SCHOOiS ML t~ ~ a t Gainesville passed hjtupgh the city, en route to their .hMfa tor the ■ Christmas holidays. than 250 students, representing *%' twelve states, swelled the big crrmvds of holiday shoppers which linad the streets. It was slated that th'e\noted prep school, now an honor of the United States as desig nated by the U. S. war department, will reopen its next session on Jan uary 2nd. Colonel Sandy Beaver, president of Riverside academy, who was in Atlanta today, said that Riverside not only from the standpoint of at tendance, but also judged from the high academic standards which have been maintained, has done the best fall term’s work in its history. Many improvements have also taken place at Riverside academy, among which may be mentioned the erection of two of the most modern barracks that can be found in the United States. The new gymnasium, Colonel Beaver stated, will be ready for occupancy <}uring the spring term. New Barracks Make Room. Colonel Beaver said it was not pos sible to accommodate in September all who applied for admission to Riverside. The new barracks, how ever, will make it possible for a few additional cadets to be admitted Jan uary 2nd. A number of reservations have already been received for these vacancies, Colonel Beaver said. National attention has been at tracted to the school since it was made an honor school by the U. S. war department. Army officers who have recently inspected the institu tion have praised the work of the cadets very highly. It is announced that a rifle team of the academy will enter national contests next year. South Gains in Building. The sustained vigor of southern development is strikingly evidenced in reports of business agencies re ceived in Atlanta, showing a gain of 9.4 per cent in this region’s building , record- for. NovemW*- over October. The significance of such a score at a time when construction work of all sorts is generally on the wane is heightened by the fact for the coun try as a whole November building was 7.4 per cent below October. In Dixie alone was there an in crease. While this is partly to be ascribed to climate that encourages outdoor work the year round, it should be observed, according to At lanta construction men, that south ern building in November, 1923, was 49.6 per cent in excess of its total for the corresponding month of 1922—a rate of increment more than twice as great as that for the entire country. Georgia holds a high place in this meaningful record. Atlanta’s build ing for the eleven months of 1923 is unapproached in the city’s annals, as regards both the volume and the value of the permits issued. More over, the developmeat has been city- and well proportioned: no one district has grown at the expense of the others, bitt all have gone sub stantially forward. Frank Adair Vice President. Frank Adair, prominent Atlanta 'Kaltor and business man, who is well known throughout the south, has been elected first vice president of the Atlanta real esttnte board. Kir. Adair is vice president of the Adair Realty and Trust Company of Atlanta, said to be one of the old est real estate firms in America, which is financing the construction of many buildings throughout the south'. The firm conducts a chain store lease department which ex tends to the greater part of the United States.

NASH SAYS NO ARRANGEMENT MADE TO PAVE DcKALB ROAD Speaking of the publication in the New Era last week of a statement from the Walton Tribune that, ar rangements had been made Tor pav ing the road from to Decatur, Mr. L. *T. Y. Nash, county commissioner, said: “The statement from the Walton Tribune is entirely incorrect No arrangement has been made to pave the Lawrenceville road, so far as I know. In fact, I have not been ap proached on the matter by the au thorities of the other counties and nothing has been done about it. I see that it is stated that the road will be built at a cost of $17,000 per mile. I know from experience that first class highways will cost con siderable more than that.” In speaking of the roads generally in DeKalb county and plans for next year Mr. Nash said: “We have been doing considerable work in the east ern part of the county and the west ern section, which is the best pro vided with roads of any part of the county, has recently received consid erable attention during the past few years, and now it becomes necessary that the road work of the coming year be directed to the northern and southern section of the county. We will, therefore, take up the work both north and south of Decatur, with the coming of the new year and give considerable time to both of these sections.”—DeKalb New Era. v —————— RENT FARM FOR $1 Savannah, Ga.—Chatham county farms are being offered at a rental of one dollr a year—for a ten acre farm five miles from the city on the Burkhalter road.

TWICE-A-WEEK NEGRO DIED SHOT RESISTING SHERiFFSUNDAY Garfield, alias “Jax-Bo”, Mead ows, the negro shot Sunday by Sher iff E. S. Garner while making an at tempt to place the colored man in Gwinnett counyt jail, died from the wound Wednesday morning. A short time ago an assault to rape was made by a negro near For syth, Georgia, and his description was advertised over the state. Mead ows came to Lawrenceville about the 13th of December having been em ployed in Atlanta by a local gentle man and had worked here a few days. Sunday morning Sheriff Gar ner received a telephone call from the Forsyth sheriff stating that a gentleman from Forsyth had seen the negro driving a truck in Law renceville and after a description in more detail was received it was con vincing that Meadows was the man wanted. Sheriff Garner went to the mar- Ket where Meadows was working about noon Sunday and placed him under arrest. It is said the negro talked sassy to the officer who im mediately started for the jail. Upon reaching the jail Meadows made a break and his belt which the off'ter was holding him by broke. The sheriff grabbed the negro by the throat and was severely bitten by the black on the hand the negro then running to a rock which he picked up and was making an advance on the sheriff when shot Mr. H. H. Pharr was in his kitchen just across from the jail and stated that the negro was attacking the of ficer. After being shot the negro ran a few blocks and was captured by Messrs. Howard Cannon and Noah Fowler after severe resistance, the black trying to bite Mr. Fowler while he was being held. Offcers at Forsyth were notified and checked the description stating that they would come for him as soon as he was able to travel. Being Miurned to the jail Drt Chalmers Hinton was called and stated that the wounded man was in the hall waiting with the officer for the doctor and examination showed that he was shot in the left side go ing through the body just below the medium line. The doctor also stated that the negro would pay no atten tion to him and begged the sheriff to blow his brains out as he would be shot anyway. Dr. Hinton stated that every necessary medical atten tion was given the man who died la ter from peritonitis from gun shot wounds. Mr. Cannon also stated that after the negro was captured and being held he asked to be killed stating that he would be killed anyway later. After hearing the above sworn statements the jury impannelled by Coroner Peter Smith sitting on the ease Wednesday returned the follow ing verdict: We, the jury impannelled by Cor oner Peter Smith to investigate the death of Garfield Meadowk, colored, now lying dead before us, find from the evidence that said Garfield Meadows, came to his death from a pistol shot fired by Sheriff E. S. Garner while attempting to arrest said meadows. We find that Sheriff Garner committed a justifable fcomi cK.e in the performance of his of f.eial duty as sheriff of Gwinnett county. B. L.
