Official Organ Gwinnett County, City of Lawrenceville, U. S. Court, Northern pi.trict cf Georgia. ~ Post Office at Law renceville, Georgia, as Second Class Mail Matter, under the act of Con gress of March Srd, 18 1 9. 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. 0 « -a Mr. VariSeG'i’p sralifhlSt'S nini into a very embap Jbeforc the senate c<§n§;{§<•£., j-Jrt-re he v. ;i --farced to admit that he had lied about the late President Harding and to make an ass of himself. Judge Andrew J. Cobb is president of the strong McAdoo club organized at Athens. There is much rioting and consid able bloodshed in the Ruhr district ©f Germany, between those who de sire to put up a seperate govern ment, and those who stand for the integrity of the German empire as fixed bu the Versailes treaty, the secessionist getting the worst of it. The house of representatives is having a hot fight over the Mellon tax bill, and the democrats and in surgent republicans have combined, thereby giving them a majority over the regulars, and they will make at least two important reductions in the income tax, one of which fixes the maxium on incomes sls per thousand. This is Georgia’s first opportunity to get a democratic president and one who was born and reared on her soil. GEORGIA HAS CR2AT ASSETS The Georgia Ileal Estate Associa tion is sending out mose encouraging repo:ts of the condition in this state.

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. Let’* Go A rich man speaking to his toil.

The fight, according to officials who made an investigation of the af fair, arose over aq argument as to whether the window in the room occupied by the two aged men should be opened or left closed. 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. ATLANTA VETERANS OF WORLD WAR BACK BONUS BILL Ex-service 1 men of Atlanta at p neeting Friday night at the head juarters of Argonne Post No. 1 American Legon, unanimously tndor 1 the adjusted compensation bill uending before congress in a resolu ion which will be sent to all Georgia congressmen.

Gal ’ianne, Jr., states that party plat formes had been repudiated by the vetoing of the bill, and it must pass congress by two-thirds majority to become legal. The resolution petit ous congress to continue its efforts 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.
