FLASHING GUNS
SUSPECTS MAKE
THEIRESCAPE
Atlanta, Ga.—After “flashing
guns” on the chief of nolice at Nor
cross, Ga., early Friday morning, two
suspected robbers backed the orticer
est the “Air Line Bive * Southern
imivay train at the points of their
pistols, bcU him at bay until the
train was pulling out and then leaped
back into the smoker to ride as far
as Doraviile, where they set off down
the road lugging four suic cases fill
ed with loot, according to reports
which stirred three counties Friday.
Sheriff J. A. McCurdy, of DeKalb
county, sent a group of deputies to
Doraviile early Friday morning,
while Southern railway officials and
Gwinnett county authorities joined
in the hunt for the men, who had
robbed the store of John B. Brogdon,
at Suwanee, of merchandise valued
at approximately S4OO.
Acting on a telegraphic request
from the conductor, who suspected
the men because of their ill kempt
appearance and the fact that they
carried new suitcases, Chief Kinney
boarded the train at Norcross and
entered somoker, where the men
were seated,
“Before J' had time to reach in
my pocket, they pulled guns and told
me to get out,” Chief Kinney said.
“There was nothing else left to do,
and so I got out. They held their
guns on me until the train was pull
ing out and then jumped back on
board.
Tht; men boarded the train at
Stripling Springs, between liuwanee
and Duuth, and paid cash fares.
Conductor Sudderth got off the
train at Duluth and wired ahead to
the NoreYmss authorities. Between
twenty and thirty persons who
“commute” to Atlanta each week
day were at the station when Chief
Kinney boarded the train and many
of them witnessed the inicident.
After alighting from the train at
Doraville, which is a station just up
the road from Chamblee, tho rob
bers set off down the road and waved
their pistols gaily at the passengers
looking from the windows.
\ According to information obtained
over long ditance, a quantity of
clothing and suit cases, was taken
from Mr. Brodgon’s store at Su
wanee. The burglars gained en
trance by forcing the bar on a win
dow and leisurely ransacked the
store, judging from appearance Fri
day morning, it was stated.
A reward of SSO was offered Fri
day morning by Mr. Brogdon for
apprehension of the men. Included
in the loot, he said, were a number
of fine pocket knives.
FESTIVAL AT BRADEN.
On Saturday night, February 16,
at 7:30 o’clock, there will be a box
supper and cake festival at Braden
school. The supper is sponsored by
the Parent-Teacher Association for
the purpose of raising money for
improving the school. We have re
cently added sanitary water coolers,
a basket ball and some window
shades, but we are badly in need of
some other equipment.
We wish to make Braden one of
the best rural schoos in the county.
You should see the start we’ve made.
Come and do your bit. It -will be
greatly appreciated. We intend to 1
have a short, snappy program be-1
fore the supper. Come and enjoy

Judge Wallace McCamant Ably Ar
gues the Question That the State
Has the Right to Educate.
Washington, D. C., January 31. —
Much interest is felt in educational
and legislative circles in Washington
in the outcome of the court test hi
the Oregon school la\Vi
This is *so-ctliled “compulsory
public sohbol law” which Oregon
voters passed by a substantial ma
jority, and in the face of determined
opposition from sectarian schools.
The law, it will be remembered, re
quires that ail children (with certain
exceptions as to age, distance from
school and health) attend Oregon
public schools during the school year.
The present court test is in regard
to an application for injunction to
prevent state officials putting the
law into effect, on the ground that it
is unconstitutional. According to the
argument put up by attorneys for
the private schools, the compulsory
public school attendance law is con
trary to the fourteenth amendment
in that it interferes with the rights
of parents to say where and how
their children shall be educated.
The attorneys representing the pri
vate schools declared that the con
stitution is a refuge of the minority
against oppression by the majority
and that the fact that the law was
passed by a large majority vote of
the people makes it no more sacred
than if it had been passed by the
legislature.
That the state could not monopo
lize education and that everyone had
the right to operate a private school,
was held to be self-evident. Tbc
decision of the supreme court of
lowa was cited that the state could
not prevent the teaching of Gerrman
in schools. It was contended that in
the light of that decision the state
was plainly barred from closing pri
vate schools altogether.
The arguments in favor of the con
stitutionality of the lav/ were pre
sented by Judge Wallace McCamant,
and to whose efforts the initiation of
the law as passed were largely due.
He said, in part:
“All presumptions favor the con
i stitutionality of this statute. AH
doubts must be resolved against the
contentions of these plaintiffs. The
education of children is a police
power function, within the scope of
the state’s legislative power. 'Stat
utes providing for the compulsory
I education of children are found on
the books of all states. The validity
of these ij universally recognized.
“With the power to provide for
the compulsory education of children
clearly established, it follows that
the state also is empowered to select
the means for making such education
effective. It .may proceed along such
lines as will, in the judgment of the
legislative branch of the government,
assure that every child shall receive
the education essential to good citi
zenship. The requirement that all
children shall attend the public
schools is a means adopted to make 1
effective a power that it unquestion
ably possesses.
“In legislating for the welfare of
minors the state has broad and
plenary powers and a wide discretion
in their exercise. The welfare of the
child is the paramount consideration
and with this object in view the chil-,'
dren may, in a proper case, be takpw
from their parents.
“The. present law does not inter
fere with the religious liberty of any
one. The rights guaranteed by the
constitution preclude interference
with religious belief but do not give
immunity from legislative control of
actions. The statute in question
makes no attempt to interfere in the
slightest with the instruction of chil
dren in any religious tenets which

.MASS MEETING
; COURT-HOUSE
The as well as business
men are very fortunate in having the
opportunity of hearing C. A. Whit
tle on boll weevil control, Prof. Hum
phrey on dairying, Prof. Broach on
farm program and Prof. Harvey on
horticulture here next Tuesday at
10 o’clock, and I hope a large nurnl
ber will be out to hear them.
We have a number of problems to
solve, and if you will hear from these
men how similar problems have been
solved by other farmers I am sure it
will help you in the solution of
yours.
A number of farmers are slow
about the purchase of calcium ar
senate and molasses. Most every
mail brings several applications for
one or both of these products, and Ti
am certainly glad to assist any one
in securing a supply of these mater
ials at as low cost as possible; but* if
we are to continue to get calcium ar- (
senate at 12 cents per pound deliv
ered, and molasses in thirty-three
gallon barrels at 20% cents per gal
lon delivered you must let it be
known how much you want by meet
ing here at the court house at P (
o’clock next Tuesday morning and
get your order in. Farmers to date
have bought 44,600 pounds coopera
tively at 12 ?ents delivered, and
eighty-seven barrels of molasses or a
car. If you will get together Tues-;
day you can ge,i another car at the
tame price; but there is an effort be
ing made to raise the price of cal
cium arsenate to 14 cents per pound.
I hope it will not be done; but if youi
want it at 12 cents delivered meet!
here Tuesday not later than 9 o’clock

TARDY AUTOIST TO PAY
HEAVILY FOR LICENSES
Atlanta, Ga.—The time for purch
asing automobile license tags can not
be extended beyond March 1 this
year, because of the operations of
the new law creating the state
revenue department, which assesses
a penalty of twenty-five per cent up
on persons who do not buy their tags
by March 1, it was stated Friday by
Charles A. Cook, clerk of the auto
mobile department of Secretary Mc-
Lendon’s office.
Mr. Cook stated that the license
on a small passenger car now cost
ing $11.25 will cost $14.50 after
March 1, as a fee of $1 must be
paid the sheriff and the revenue de
partment is entitled to a penalty of
$2.25.
their parents may entertain.
“The language of this law is af
firmative and not negative, and its
purpose is similarly affirmative. It
requires the attendance at the public
schools of children of grammar
school age, eight to sixteen years.
The act prohibits nothing. It does
not interfere with attendance by
children at other schools outside of
public school hours.”
No decision was reached, the court,
after hearing the argument, reserve
ing decision and calling for brieil
setting forth all the legal prin
ciples, precedents and the arguments

WEEVILS WINTER
IN COTTON SEED
SAYS BROWN
Atanta, Ga.—Boll weevils do not
bore into and hibernate in well de
veloped cotton seed as a rule, J. J.
Brown, commissioner of agriculture,
stated in a letter written to D, W.
Wilson, cashier of the Bank of
Duluth, Duluth, Ga. Mr. Wilson
had written Commissioner Brown
concerning a recent newspaper story
to the effect that boll weevils are
found in cotton seed and stater that
he discovered this to be the cesc two
years ago.
“There might be exceptions to the
rule where the boll weevils puncture
premature bolls late in the season,
laid their eggs and the young wee
vil lived off the substance of the cot
ton seed and hibernated in that way,
but this would be an exception,”
Commissioner Brown stated. “It is
true that they hibernate in large
quantities in bulk seed. I have seen
thousands of them burrowed into the
loose bulk of seed and remained in
hibernation until spring. In this
way it would be very easy to find
large numbers of weevils where
those seed had been scattered around
in the fields in early spring.”
While the freezes have killed large
“ umbers of weevils that were ; oorlv
hibernated, in his opinion, Commis
sioner Brcwn urges that there be not
let up in the fight on them.
“If I were to advise the farmers
as to acreage, my advice would be to
plant less acreage than last year,”
Mr. Brown said. “By all means not
over six or eight acres to the plow.
Buy calcium arsenate early and
have it in store and begin fighting
the boll weevil just as soon as he
comes out of hibernation. With a
small acreage vsell prepared, planted
with select seeit!, and highly ferti
lizer, well cultivated, and a persist
ent fight against the boll weevil
from start to finish, a crop of cotton
can be severed' on the acreage sug
geste our faith, in,the
“cold*”weather "and plant a crop on a
large acreage per plow under the
system of growing cotton vou'd
mean ruin and bankruptcy to the
farmers as well as to the business
interests.”
Editor News-Herald:- I have been
requested to have the papers publsh
the formula I used to poison my cot
ton last year. Here it is:
4 lbs. Calcium Arsenate in 2 gal
lons black Molasses mixed in two
gallons of boiling water, then add 6
gallons of clear water and use mop,
putting one or two drops in the bud.
Do not treat the bud roughly, but
touch it gently. I used this formula
along with Hill’s Mixture and the re
sults were the same and will say that
Hill’s Mixture gave me perfect sat
isfaction.
Now, let me stress this point. com

begins to take on the fourth leaf
and repeat every ten days if you see
signs or if you don’t see signs and
you won’t have any squares to pick
up. •

WRITES ON MEN
ANDWMNGS
First let us explain that the follow
ing is printed BY REQUEST of a
gentleman-married not so many years
ago. He, like perhaps others, seems
to thmk that the MAN at his wedding
doesn’t get the publicity he deserves.
The clipping is by Morgan Blake, the
Souths foremost sporting authority
and a fellow who has never married
natureally being an authority on
weddings ike the spinster* is an
authority on raising children.
PRESS AND STANDARD, a well
known publication, in “an attempt
to raise the bridegroom from the
deep oblivion which has enveloped
him at his own weeding,” has circula
ted a model for wedding writeups
during leap year. Blanks are left
for the substitution of the names of
the parties. We hereby print the
model, using the name of Mr. Wey
man Wilkins, prominent Atlanta
sheik, who will probably marry this
year, for the groom. N
“Mr. Weyman Wilkins, son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. T. Wilkins, of 638 East
North avenue, becomes the bride
groom of Miss Equal Wrights at
high noon today. The ceremony took
place at the home of the groom’s
parents and was largely attended.
"Mr. Wilkins was attend 'd by Mr.
Pubb as gromsman. As the groom
’ipproached thethe thehhh hh hh’n
approached the alter he was the cy
nosure of all eyes. He was charmin
gly clad in a three-pice suit, consist
ing of a coat, vest and pants. The
coat, of dark material, was draped
about the shoulders and tastefully
gathered under the arms. A pretty
story v/as current among the wedding
guest that the coat was the same
worn by his father and grandfather
on their wedding days. The vest
was sleeveless and met in front, It
was gracefully fashioned with poc
kets, and at the back hold together
with strap and buckle. Conspicuous
on the front of the vest v/as the
groom’s favorite piece of jewelry, a
Scottish Rite’s pin, and from the up-
per left pocket was suspended 0. large
Ingersoll watch, the bride’s gift to
the groom, which flashed and gave
the needed touch of brilliance to a
costume in perfect taste and har
mony.
“The groom’s pants were of some
dark worsted, and were suspended
from the waist, falling in a straight
line almost to the floor. The severe
simplicity of the garment was re
lived by the right pantalet, which
was caught up about four inches by
a Boston-Brighton worn underneath,
revealing just the artistic glimpse
of brown holeproof hosiery above
the genuine leather shoes, laced
with strings of the same color. The
effect was rather chic.
“His neck was encircled with a
collar, and around the collar a cra
vat was loosely knotted so that it
rode up under his left ear with that
studied carelessness which marks
the supreme artistry in dress.
“Mr. Dubb’s costume was essen
tialy like the groom’s, and as the
two stood at the alter a hush of ad
miration enveloped the audie;: e at
the complete and wonderful harmo
ny of the raiment. Neither Mr.
Wilkins nor Mr. Dubb wore a hat
at the ceremony.
“As Miss Wrights led her groom
from the nuptials it was noted that
she wore the conventional veil and
orange blossoms.”

5 JAILED AFTER
FREE-FOR-ALL
Five men were placed in Gwin
nett county jail Sunday night after
a free-for-all fight staged oh the
Norcross-I.awrenceville road near
the home of Robert Smith about two
miles from Lawrenceville.
A soldier, who acted suspiciously,
has been coming to this city for sev
eral Sundays and when he tipped
the officers off to a fight and whis
ky said to be in an automobile
Sheriff E. S. Garner stated that he
at frist thought he was again being
framed. Upon going to the scene he
found six men, three sodiers said to
be from Fort McPherson, near At
lanta, engaged in a free-for-all fight
with rocks as the prineipa weapons.
Five were arrested and one es
caped in the darkness. They gave
their names as Joseph L. Massey
and Roy L. Davis, of Fort McPher
son, and Robert Smith, Leroy Jones
and Ross Neice, of near Lawrcnce
ville. Several of the men were given
medical attention which was badly
needed, and all are held in jail here.
A small quantity of whisky was
saiu to have been found in an auto
mobile said to have been driven by
one of the soldiers.
Growth of Suburban Movement and
Removals to Cities Causes Demand
for Structures of All Kinds.
Atlanta, Ga., January 31.—50 far
as the south is concerned, this year
has about about run off its first
month with indications quite good
for a tremendous building program,
in the opinion of Heinz, Reid and
Adler, Atlanta architects, who are
designing many structures through
out the south. In this connection, it
is logical to reason, these well known
architects say, that a large amount
of construction will be demanded for
the next few years, since it should
be borne in mind that there is rot |
only a buP.'Mhg shortage, but there
are certain unusual changes taking
place which necessitate a greater
building program than would be
needed through the normal increase
in population.
These phenomena are, as noted by
Hentz, Reid and Adler, are as fol
lows: The movement of rural popu
lation to the cities. The suburbs’,!
movement in most large cities as the
result of the development of the au
tomobile and good roads.
The movement from the country
districts to the cities, according to
the Atlanta architectural firm, has
been most intensive during the last
two or three years, although during
the entire decade from 1911 to 1920 1
it was in progress. While such a
movement does not represent any in
crease in the population of the na
tion it does mean, it is stated, an ab
normal increase in the growth of the
cities and a correspondingly abnor
mal demand for buddings of all
kinds.
Growth of Suburbs.
The growth of the suburban move
ment has been going on intensively
since the war, as pointed out here,
and has meant an abnormal demand
for houses of the usual suburban
type. In a recent survey of the coun
try, as figures made public here
show, it was found that 63 per cent
of the cities of the country are feel
ing the effect of a heavy movement
to the suburban districts.
The results of such large migra
tions of population from more or less
congested city centers to the open
suburban results, of course, in an
enormous increase in the demand for
dwellings, stores, garages, schools
and other accoutrements of civiliza
tion. It also involves, at least, the
alteration of buildings from which
removal has taken place, and in
many cases the demolition of them
and their replacement by structure
of another type.
Big Increase in Wages.
Wages in 1843 and those paid to
day showing a striking contrast, ac
cording to a local statistician. While
those given apply to a particular in
dustry, doubtless, as the statistician
points out, they are fairly represen
tative of general progress in wage
earning.
It is shown that average hourly
earnings of employes have increased
over 1,300 per cent in the four-score
year period, and the average weekly
earnings nearly 850 per cent. The
average weekly working period has
been reduced from seventy-two to
forty-eight hours. In 1843 an em
ploye received an average of 4.22
cents an hour, $3.08 a week. Now
the average is 60.0 an hour and
$29.70 a week.
These comparisons provide con
crete examples of the advance in
earnings measured in dollars and the
reds nin hours of labor. The sav
ing k. hours is absolute. The wage

AUTO ACCIDENT
IN LAW’VILLE
SATURDAY NOON
Mr. John Helton, who resided on
the Chariie Cooper farm four miles
from Lawrenceville on the Grayson
road, died in an Atlanta hospital
early Sunday after being rushed
there from this city where he was
struck by an automobile, owned by
Ralph Webb and driven by Ernest
Hutchins, about 1:30 Saturday af
ternoon.
According to information gathered
from several witnesses the accident
was entirely unavoidable.
Several cars were parked from the
Brand Bank building to the center
entrance of the court house square
in front of McGee’s Department
Store and Mr. Helton is said to have
been talking to an occupant of one
of the cars. He started to cross the
street and at the same time the cut
down car of ebb, driven by Hutchins,
backed out and started up the street.
It is believed the man’s attention
was attracted by abuggy that was
coming up the street and he is said
to walked in the path of the back
ing car which struck him about the
knees, knocknig him down on the
frozen ground.
It was seen at once that he was
injured about the head and he was
given medical attention. Among the
crowd that soon gathered was Mr.
Charle Cooper, on whose farm Mr.
Helton lived and the injured man
recognized Mr. Cooper and gave di
rection as to his team which was at
a grist mill. He gradually grew
worse and was started to Atlanta
for an operation in a critical con
dition. Both Messrs. Webb and
Hutchins, who deepy regret the ac
cident, gave the man every possible
aid and Mr. Hutchins accompanied
him to the hospital.
An operation revealed that his
skill was fractured and he died a
few hours afterwards.
Mr. Helton, who was forty-ihree
years of age, has resided on the
Cooper farm for about one and one
hif years and bears an excellent
reputation as a worker and man. He
is survived by his wife and seven
daughters, the oldest being about
seventeen years of age.
Funeral services will be held this
(Mo: day) morning at Collins Hill
v/ilh interment there.
Mr. Hutchins, upon the return
from the hospital, requested that he
ben laced in jail and later warrants
charging manslaughter were
out for both Hutchins and Webb.
Hutchins remains in jail and We.
lias made bond. Both were young
men and are well known in Law
lenceville where the reride and the
accident is deeply regretted by ev
eryone.

increase is not all gain, though a
large part of it is; just what propor
tion it would be difficult to estimate,
but the vastly improved condition of
the working people proves that it is
great.
Wage Earning Not Slavery.
This contrast is a reply to th<
who content that wage earning is .
kind of slavery. A class that in
creases its income approximately te
time-- in eighty years is not help!* is
or'at the mercy of others. And the c
earnings are gained in one-third less
time, notable in addition to the other
phase of the matter.
It is noted also that the advance
has been a steady movement with but
