GEORGIA’S PRESIDENTIAL
PRIMARY.
Through the wise action of the
State Democratic Executive t om
mittee a primary wall be held on the
19th of March at which the
people may express their preference
for the presidentail nomination.
There are, and will not be, but
two bona fide candidates for this
nomination in Georgia, to wit:
Oscar W. Underwood, and William
J. McAdoo, though there is some
talk among certain distgruntled
politicians about having the name
of a third man put upon the ticket,
but the real contest will be between
these two, and very few voters will
care to throw their ballots away
upon a mere spite candidate.
The democrats have a splendid
opportunity to win a decisive victory
at the next natinal election, if no
serious mistake is made in naming
their presidential candidate, so that
rvailibilty is the chief matter to he
ietermined by voters at this pre
ferential primary in Georg’a.
Both Uundenvwod and McAdoo
are first calss presidential timber,
hut McAdoo has the strongest and
most enthusiastic following in every
section of the country, including
several strong elements that would
support any other democratic
candidate and their votes would most
probably be the determining factors
in the contest.
Discussing this question, the At
lanta Journal, in a recent editorial,
had this to say as to the fitness and
qualifications of Mr. McAdoo, as
demonstrated by the record he has
made:
For its own part, The Journal has
never had the faintest apprehension
that he was other than the high
minded, patroiotie irreproachable
American whom the country honored
as an outstanding figure of the Wil
son administration, and whose faith
ful labors, both in peace and in the
crucial season of war, were valuable
beyond measure. As secretary of
the treasury he not only managed
billions of the people’s money, with
never so much as a fleeting shadow
upon his integrity, but he also in
stituted fiscal reforms of vast con
sequence and proved himself the peo
ple’s unswerving friend. His part
in the framing and establishment of
the Federal Reserve act, with its
steadying and saving power against
a wcrld-rocking financial storm; his
fruitful interest in credits, re
sulting in nearly a billion dollars of
long trem iural loans at low interest
rates; his prompt and effective meas
ures of aid to Southern cotton grow
ers in the ominous summer of 1914;
his superb generalship in financing
the greatest war in which the republic
ever engaged; his vlgilet t farsight
ed solicitude for the soldier boys;
his unfailing sympathy with the *n
terest.-, and rights of the rank and
file; his constructive statesmanship'
his high hearted Americanism; hi?
generous world outlook and love of
humankind —ah this is written in
erasably in the shining anr.als of the
Wilson administration.
We are today prouder than ever
that William G. McAdaa is an Ameri
can, a Democrat, and a Georgia.
How well he has served his country,
history will record. How highly he
has honored his party and his native
state, they both are greatefull aware.
May his years be'long in the land of
his devotion that it may draw yet
more rare talents
of service .'3fgle§ife'ship.

GEORGIA HAS CR2AT ASSETS

Cotton Men Urge Accurate Data In
stead of “Intention to Plant” Re
ports—Uncle Sam Poor Prophet.
Atlanta, Ga., P'ebruary 14. —Some
southern legislators, it was stated
here today, have served the national
department of agriculture with no
tice that they would like to see sev
eral changes instituted in the de
partment’s policies. They add that
if the department,is loath to look
favorably on their request a move
ment will be started in congress to
enact compulsory legislation in the
matter.
The cotton belt representatives,
Georgia agriculturists state, seek
the discontinuance of “intention to
plant” reports now issued by the
government, and ask that conditions
reports, issued monthly at present,
be published every two weeks in
stead. Also, that a board of five, in
cluding three cotton men be appoint
ed to pass on these reports before
publication.
There is much to be said for the
first request, it is pointed out here.
The government has never enjoyed
any reputation for brilliance as e
:rop prophet, particularly in cotton
which it miscalculated last year. It
will be recalled that government
policies were a contributing cause to
the gross inflation of sugar prices a
year ago.
Compilation, Not Forecasting.
As cotton men claim, there always
has been a feeling that the forecast
ing business, except when unavoid
able, is a function for private par
tie; whose mistakes will reflect on
no one but themselves. The govern
ment generally, it is shown, can best
serve the country by confining its
activity to compiling reports of ac
tualities. For tiiat matter it is fre
quently criticized for the reputed in
accuracy of these reports.
It is easy to see, it is claimed here,
if a department cannot compile sta
tistics correctly its prophecies will
not be of great account, and its en
ergy might better be centered on
getting these bare facts straight.
“If the south wants condition re
ports twice as often there can be no
objection to that, and if an efficient
and honest board can help to make
accurate and disinterested that fact
ought to justify its existence,” said
a leading Atlanta cotton man.
Railroads Improve Facilities.
Atlanta business men, bankers
and manufacturers have expressed
their appreciation of the successful
efforts of the railroads to meet the
increasing demand for prompt move
ment of commodities in the past
year, anil just as il was impossible
to measure the losses buffered during
the period of inadequate and inter
rupted railroad transportation, so it
is impossible by these improved
Kransport-ltion conditions.
‘For example, figures just compiled
by one traffic line outside of the
south show that the average move
nent of its freight cars a day in
increased 8.9 per cent more
than the daily movement in 1922, and
the increase in ton miles a car was
36.3 per cent.
Speeding up freight costs the rail
roads increasingly large sums. To
haul more freight and haul it faster
requires bigger locomotives, better
tracks and maintainance, and better
equipment throughout.
Heavy Expenditures Shown.
The railroads, Atlanta railway ex
ecutives stated today, spent $1,500,-
000,000 in 1923 for improvements of
this kind. They also built new lines
and extensions to open new trade
territories so as to co-operate more
closely with.business.
Railroads, as Atlanta executives
point out, have been able to make
additions and betterments to improve
the service only as income would
warrant. If income were decreased
through lowering the rates, improve
ments would have to be curtailed, it
was stated.
Merchandise is invested capital
and the longer it is in transit the
longer the capital is tied up. If the
member of the fraternity, having re
prices fall en route, somebody loses,
and the loss is ultimately passed to
the consumer.
Better railroad service has reduced
losses of this kind, in the opinion of
Atlanta railroad men. Lower rates,
it is claimed, would tend t© make it
impossible for the railroads to pro
vide the service which makes these
savings possible.

NET MATERIAL VALUE
OF MAN IS 98 CENTS
Canyon, Texas, —The net materi
al \a!ue of an average human being
is 98 cents, according tto analytical
research made by Dr. C. A. Pierle,
lead of the department of chemistry
it the West Texas Teacher’s college
lere. Dr. Pierle has found that the
fody of a man weighing 150 pounds,
f divided into its component ehemi
:al elements, would be found to con
ain enough water to wash a pair, of
lankets, enough iron to make t'br
:enny nail, lime sufficient to white
■aeh a small chicken coop and
■ncugh sulpher to kill the fleas on a
,ood size dog. All these elements
ie estimated, could be purchased ai
i drug store for 98 cents.

to liquidate the obligation made to
service men by passage of the bill.
WILL ASK INJUNCTION
TO PREVENT ANOTHER
FROM TAKING WIFE
Chicago,—An application for an
induction to restrain another man
from taking his wife is to be filed by
John J. Dunn, assistant to the gener
al manager of a steel company. The
other man is Carl Larson, a structur
al iron worker.
Dunn alleges that Larson took
Mrs. Dunn away last October and
that she since has been passing as
the wife Larsons until her arrest
Friday. Because of a thirteen-year
old sw, he has no desire fer a
divorce, he said:
Former Judge Sheridan E. Fry,
Dunn’s attorney, says the legal ven
ture, if successful, will establish a
precedent and provide a barrier
against home wrecking.
THINKING HE’S DYING,
AFFLICTED MAN HUNTS
STOLEN GEMS FOR POLICE
New York,—John W. Mahan, who
has returned to the police all but $-10,
000 worth of the $228,000 collection
of gems sold to him by bandits who
robbed Mrs. Hugo C. I’. Schoelkopf
on Ney Year’s evt* 1022, Friday set
out tto recover the last packet, dia
monds weighing 87.68 carats.
Polite said there was no parallel
for the manner in which the loot
has come back. Mahan, indicted, but
free from surveillance while iocat
ing the gems, wanders out each
night fall to secret haunts. He has
returned stones worth $223,000 in
separate collections. The police ask
no questions.
Past fifty and half paralyzed,
Mahan is convinced that he is dying,
and is obsessed by the desire to re
turn all of the jewels before death
comes.

MR. D. A. BAITY,
OF FAIRBURN, KILLED
BY CIRCULAR SAW
Fariburn, Ga.—Mr. D. A. Baity
well-known Fairburn citizen, was
kil'ed at a -awmill which h ■ OP' : atoi
joint y with W. C. Cook, seven miles
south of Fairburn, ednesday morning
about 11:30 o’clock.
Mr. Baity, was about thirty-seven
years old, missed his footing while
operating the mill, and was thrown
head first into the saw, which split
his head and part of his body before
the machinery could be stopped.
Funeral arrangements will be an

Albany, Ga.—What is expected to
be one of the most importan and
one of the most largely attended
meetings ever held in Georgia, has
been called by Albany, Friday Feb.
22nd, by the Georgia Peanut Grow
ers Co-operative Association. Judge
R. W. Bingham, noted newij aper
publisher and worker for co-oper
ative marketing in Kentucky and
elsewhere, has been announced as
the principal speaker at the meeting,
which is planned in the interest of
co-operative marketing as a princip-
Ue of agricultural economics.
The meeting will be held at the
Municipal Auditorium in Albany, the
largest assembly hall in South Geor
gia, which has been filled to capaci
ty on only a few notable occasions.
The meeting will begin at 10 o’clock
in the forenoon, Albany time, a
national holiday, on account of be
ing George Washington’s bbirtnday,
it is expected that on of the greatest
crowds ever in Albany, will 'bo on
hand and that for once Albany’s big
Auditorium will prove too small for
the great throng that will cornu.
Judge Binham, who will make the
principal address at the great meet
ing in Albany, Friday of next week,
s one of the unselfish apostles of
true co-operative marketing for farm
products in America. A man of
arge means, he is not dependent on
fees or salaries and does what he
■an for the movement in all parts of
he country without reward or hope
if compensation. It was largely
through his efforts and the unselfish
jxpenditure of his funds that the
Tobacco Growers of Kentucky, and
ither states were enable to organize
the largest and one of the strongest
1 '■o-operative societies in the world.
This organization almost overnight
ifted Kentucky out of the despair
if bankruptcy and depression tc
he high road of prosperity. Every
obaeeo grower in the * state today
•eceiving more cents per pound for
lis tobacco than any one would con
tend would he possible without co
operative marketing.
From the general headquarters of
he Peanut Association, at Albany
he membership of that organization
s being circularized and invited to
.he meeting at Albany. If only one
half of the more than 7000 members
of that organization come, a monster
audience will be herq. But farmers
and all others who are interested are
being invited and urged to be on
hand.
Other speakers of prominence are
on the program, full details of which
will be announced ini a day or two.
Col. Spence stated. It is expected
to make the meeting, one of special
importance to the farmers of Geor
gia. everv man of whom is invited.
