bill reported by the house appropri
ations committee.
The total is $18,082,940 less than
the appropariation a yfar ago, when
$32,300,000 was allotted for state
aid road construction and is $471-
312 less than budget estimates.
For the enforcement of special
laws by the department of agricul
ture the bill carries $2,027,000, the

The committee’s report in dealing
■with expenditure of federal funds
for highway improvement brought
out that since 1917 federal appropri
ations to the amount of $392,817,-
500 have been made available to the
states of which $284,380,339 had
been paid to the states prior to Jan
uary 1 last. Estimating that ex
penditures are being made during
this fiscal year at the rate of $6,000,
000 a month, the committee went on
the theory that $72,437,160 would be
available July 1 for expenditure in
the coming fiscal yearir.additionlothe
the coming fical year in addition to
the $17,700,000 carried in the lull.
The bill carries $381,910 for the
eradictation of the pink boll worm,
$29,490 less than was appropriated
last year. Anapp'ropriation of $206-
920 or $41,910 more than last year,
was recommended for combating
southern field crop insects and $124,
740 for dealing with cotton and
truck diseases.
The department of agriculture, the
appropriation’s committee was in
formed, intends during the coming
fiscal year to spend $8,860 of the
total appropriated for pink bool
worm eradication for work in co
operation with Mexico, and $5,000
for investigation in Mexico and els
where of the pest as a basis for con
trol measures. The bulk of the ap
propraiton would be expended in
conducting surveys and inspections,
chiefly in Texas.
On motion of Representative
Byrnes, democrat, S outh Carolina,
the appropriations committee, ap
proved the following limitation to
the bill:
“Provided further that no part of
the funds herein appropriated shall
be available for any expese incident
to ascertaining collecting or publish
ing a report stating the intention of
farmers as to the acreage to be plant
ed in catton.”
Mr. Byrnes later said that the ‘sec
retary of agriculture had given as
surance that such a report would not
be issued this year. The limitation
approved by the committe would pre
vent issuance of such reports during
the fiscal year begining July 1.

PEACE OF FAMILY
NOW ENDANGERED
BY SMOKE SCREEN
Kansas City, Mo.—A delicately
perfumed smoke screen threatened
to envelop the marital peace of
Jack Conroe and his pretty wife,
here Tuesday.
Mrs. Conroe didn't stutter when,
in municipal court, she declared that
she enjoyed a “fag” after dinner
and several at different intervals
intervals during the day. She had
ardered her husband arrested for
non-sppport
Did the judge think it was wrong
lor her to smoke?
“This is an age of equal rights,
young man,” Judge M. J. Kilroy ad
dressed Conroe. “If you smoke
your wife has a right to do the
same,”
Conroe grinned broadly.
“That’s just it, Judge," he an
swered. “I don’t object to her
smoking, but she won’t use the same
brand I do. She won’t use the same
brand I do. She wants better cigar
ette. If we’d use the same kind I
could cut down expenses. I don’t
make enough money to keep her in
the cigaretta she desires.”
Judge Kilroy, after considerable
thought, gave Mrs. Conroe seven
days to adjust her taste to the brand
of cigarstts her husband uses.

THIRD AND FOURTH CLASS
POSTMASTERS
Bills are now pending in congress
for better pay for third and fourth
ssalcspo DLL xzfiflff. .. xzfiflft zfifl
class postmasters htroughout the
country. These government
are the poorest paid class of all of
“Uncle Sam’s” employees. In fact
the third class post office, in some
instances, pay less than one hundred
dollars the year. In the fourth class
the salaries range from on thousand
dollars to twenty two hundred aollars
per annum, the postmaster being re
quired to furnish fixtures for the
office and clerk hire. When this ex
pense is paid from the salary rllow
ed there is little left for the post
master. One capable of serving as
postmaster under the civil service re
quirments, is capable of earning
more in other line of employment
and without the responsibilities at
tached to the postoffices. It is be
lieved that when the proper presenta
toin of the claims of these post
masters are presented to congress
that the bills will be passed and these
worthy and efficient employees: of
the government paid "rn keeping with
the services rendered.
Our congressmen and senators
should see to it that the 'mea- ures
are passed which would give to the
public that service which they are
entitled to even in the smallest
offices.

BOSSES’ THREATS TO FIRE
BONUS SUPPORTERS RAPPED
Washington,—Threats from busi
ness interests to dismiss employees
upon failure o petition congress for
enactment of the Mellon tax bill and
for defeat of bonus legislation were
denounced Tuesday by the white
house as “utterly un-American, sub
versive of the very fundamentals of
democracy and Calculated to arouse
hostilities between employers and
employees.” •
C. Bascom Sletnp, secretary to
President Coolidge, in a letter to
Harlow W. Ross, editor of the
American Legion Weekly, criticized
sharply a purpoded circular letter
sent' by the Aeolian company, of
New York, to its employees, the
letter as quoted by the legion period
ical in a request issue asked employ
ees to request their members of con
gress t-o vote for the Mellon bill
and defeat the and ended
with tha declaration that the com
pany would check its pay roll within
the next couple of weeks to find out
those who have written and those
who have not”
Such Method, Unfair.
“The president desires me to say,”
Mr. Slemp’s leter said, “that while
he is opposed, to the granting of the
solider bonus, he is completely to
sympathy with the protest which the
American Legion Weekl voices
against this kind of propaganda to
defeat the bonus measure. He feels
strongly that such support for his
policies is certain to be injurious,
rather than helpful. His own at
titude about the bonus is well known.
He has said with all earnestnes? that
he does not believe it represents the
real interest of the ex-serviee men
themselves. (
“But he believes also the efforts
to organize an apparent sentiment
against the measure, such as are rep
resented by the circular quoted, are
utterly un-American, subversive of
the very fundamentals of 'democracy
and calculated to aiouse hostilities
between employers and employees.
Convinced as he is that the bonus
ought not to be granted, he feel
keenly that his position in this re
gard will be infinitely more difficult
to support, if suofcsinethods are to be
adopted by those who wish to hold
up his hands.
“This question of the bonus is a
public question. Every American
citizdn is entitled to entertain and
express his own opinion regarding
it. No interest or authority has the
right to mislead congress, by per
version, the expression of honest
judgement.
“There is no higher duty under
such government as ours, than to
keep pure and undefiled the, sources
and channels of public sentiments.
The president has claimed for him
self, because he believed it his duty,
the right to disagree with many
members of your organization and
many other citizens, regarding the
bonus. But he insists that every
other citizen shall have the same
right of absolutely independent
judgement that he demands for him
self.”
WOMAN LOSES ALIMONY
BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO
MOVE WITH HUSBAND
Atlanta, Ga.—The refusal of Mrs.
Odah Perkerson to move from At
lanta tot Austell when her husband
C. C. Perkerson, became cashier of
a bank there, cost Mrs. Perkerson
S4O per month alimony that had
been awarded her in Cobb superior
court, under a decision of the Geor
gia supreme court, pendeded Sat
urday. ,
“When a husband finds it neces
sary to move to an adjoining coun
ty and accept a business situation
and the wife, without sufficient
grounds, refuses to go, such a condi
tion amounts to abandonment and
she can not recover alimony on the
grounds that her husband deserted
her,” the opinion stated.
Mrs. PerkersciT’s claim was that
she remained in Atlanta to educate
two daughters by a former marriage.

GEORGIA DAY IS
ON RIGHT DATE.
SAYS DR. JACOBS
In the Constitution of February 13
there appeared an article concerning
the previous day’s celebration of
Georgia day in Atlanta. In that
story, the question was asked as to
what was the exact date on which
Oglethorpe landed in Savannah—or
rather, it develops, at Yamacraw
Bluff, the site of the present city of
Savannah.
Now comes to the rescue Dr.
Thornwell Jacobs, president of Ogle
thorpe university, with the desire
information.
In the atory df February 13 it was
pointed out there is in existence a
letter dated “Savannah, February
10, 1733,” signed by Ogletbrope, in
dicating he must have been there be
fore February 12, the date named
in hi* honor and gupposed to be
correct.
It also wag pointed out that in
1752, almost 20 years ’ from the
British empire changed from the
Julian calendar to the Georgian,
making a considerable difference in
dates and it was wondered whether
this had been taken into account in
fixing February 12 as the date of
the landing.
It ,\Vas says President Jacobs. In
November, 1732, Oglethrope left
England, he continued. He landed
at Charleston, S. C., on January 13,
1733. From there the little band of
colonist went to Beaufort, S.C., ar
riving on January 20. Here General
Oglethrope let the colonist, going
to explore -he Savannah river to de
cide the best location for his settle
ment. In a letter he wrote Feb
ruary 10, addressed to the trustees
of the colony, in England, he states
the colonists 51l arrived on February
1.
Now, when the chang of calendar
took place, eleven day were dropped
says Dr. Jacobs, therefore making
February 1 by their calendar, Feb
ruary 12 by ours—which means the
date we celebrate, February 12 is
right, after all.

s7* DROP IN COTTON
COMES UNDER PROBE
Washington, —Causes which have
contributed to the break of $75 a
bale in cotton during the past two
months will be discussed at a con
ference between senators from the
cotton producing states and Director
Steuart and Statistician Zimmerman
of the census bureau.
Decision to inquire exhaustivey
into this subject was reached at a
conference late Wednesday of the
senators from cotton states. The
meeting was called by Senator Smit
of South Carolina, who presided, and
the senators examined into many of
ficial and unofficial documents bear
ing on the whole subject.
Senator Smith said Mr. Steuart
and Mr. Zimmerman would ques
tioned as to the methods of tabuat
ing cotton statistics relative to sup
ply and distribution. They will be
askked particularly, he added, about
an item of 579,405 bales carried in
the last August report under the
heading, “to balance distribution,”
and presumed to be included in the
ginning figures as of February 1,
last. , . .... .. .
“I don’t think those bales ever
existed,” Senator Smith said, “their
inclusion in the report undoubtedly
helped to break the price of cotton.
In explanation it is claimed that a
part of this 579,405 bales is so
called city crop—that is, samples
taken from bales and then re
packed.”
Largest Pecan Orchard.
Atlanta, Ga., February 21.—Class
ing Georgia apples with. the finest
for flavor, color, keeping-qualities
and market-ability, that are to be
found in America (Virginia, New
York and Washington state not ex
cepted), Charles R. Porter, Rome
(Ga.) capitalist, says Georgia apples
should be entered in the race with
Georgia peaches and watermelons—
to become as famous as the citrus
fruits of other states. Mr. Porter.;
head of the Porter Brothers Farm
Corporation, which owns the im
mense orchards at Esom Hill, near
Cedartown, says Georgia can raise
apples; ought to let the world know
that she is raising apples and can
raise more.
The fact is, according to horticul
turists here, Georgia apples are
fast making their way to celebrity,
having won in years gone by some,
of the highest awards at national
expositions.
In all branches, indeed, Mr. Por
ter shows, Georgia’s fruit-growing
industry is an infant Hercules. I?<
was not a gredt many years ago
when peach orchards in this state
were a family dower rattier than a
commercial pursuit. Today they
number millions of trees and yield
a yearly revenue of many millions
of dollars.
The largest pe-an orchard on earth
is in Georgia, and the famous “pa|?er
shells” have brought a fortune to
far-sighted investors.
Forty-six different varieties of
fruit can be successfully grown in
Georgia, according to Mr. Porter;
and, as he points out, the majority
of these have been brought, or will
be brought, to as profitable a stage
of development as the apple and
peach now enjoy.
The fabled Hesperides were never
so wonderful in fruits as the hills
and valleys of Georgia, Mr. Porter
declares.
At the regular meeting of the
Eastern Star Thursday afternoon
Mrs. C. R. Thompson, on behalf of
the chapter, presented Miss Myrtice
Kelley, past worthy matron, and re
tiring Worthy Patron C. M. Morcock
with suitable tokens. Each respond
ed feelingly to the kind remem
brance.
TWICE-A-WEEK
JACKSON ASK
FOR RE-ELECTION
l i
Iri this issue appears the annonne*
ment of Mr. J. K. Jackson, who asks
for re-election as a member of the
board of county commissioners
Mr. Jackson has been in bad
health for some time and was only
able to return to his home a few
days ago. He has now completely
recovered and will wage and active
campaign for re-election. With Mr.
Jackson entry all the old members
of the board are asking for re-elec
tion, Messrs Harris and Mi lie' hav
ing already made their formal an
nouncement.
J. K. Jackson is a well known citi
zen of the county and for years has
taken an interest in its betterment.
He is known as the "watch dog”
the finances of the county coming
through the commissioners office ar.4
has made many hew triends since
serving as commissioner.
As states in an article in oar last
issue Gwinnett county has prospered
and made rapid strides with-.n the
past adminßtration and the com
missioners have many warm sup
porters in the race this year.
This Is Better Mailing Week.
Apropos of better mailing week,
which is now being observed in At
lanta and throughout the rest of the
country—
In the fiscal year ending June,
1923, 17,000,000 letters were de
stroyed by the dead letter office,
most of them failing to earry through
because of incorrect or inadequate
address or absence of sender’s ad
dress. More than 17,000,000 writers
sent letters that never reached those
to whom they were written and
mailed. More than 17,000,000 per
sons failed to 'receive communica
tions addressed to them.
The makings of tragedies arc in
those figures—figures made public
here by postoffice officials. Thous
ands of the destroyed letters were
of great importance. They carried
information or asked questions that
might have affected the lives of
many; that might have explained
away torturing misunderstanding;
’.-.light have cased heartaches, might
have lightened loads on weary
minds; might have chased shadows
from groping spirits.
A few more strokes of the pen, a
little more care in writing the name
of addressee or city or street or in
marking the number, and most of
these letters would have gone
through. If a letter is worth writ
ing, it is worth addressing properly.
More Cotton per Acre In Slogan.
Very generally, it appears, Geor
gia farmers are becoming convinced
that greater cotton acreage is a
mistake and a greater yield per acre
is a necessity, according to J. J.
Brown, Georgia’s commissioner of
agriculture. He says that the farm
er who increases his acreage because
of the increased price of cotton fails
to consider very important things in
connection with it—the boll weevil
and the expense and labor cultivat
ing more acres than he should have.
Experience during recent years
has shown farmers, Mr. Brown says,
that the man who profits most from
the higher price of cotton is the man
who has raised his cotton with least
expense and whose acreage has been
curtailed to the point where he could
make an effective fight upon the
boll weevil. A large acreage merely
gives the boll weevil an opportunity
to get ahead of the farmer, Mr.
Brown says.
The cotton farmers of Georgia and
the south have adopted a slogan,
Mr. Brown says, which, if lived up
to, will hasten greatly their inde
pendence and prosperity. “Not more
acres' in cotton, but more cotton per
acre,” is a slogan that will mean for
the farmer cotton produced more
cheaply, in less danger of loss from
weevils and army worms, picked
more cheaply, and handled through
out the season more economically
and more intelligently. Add to this
the other slogan, “A sow, a hen, a
cow,” Mr. Brown says, and the far
mers of Georgia and the south will
begin to realize upon their oppor
tunities.
More “sows, hens and cows” and
better grades of each of them will
help any farmer to get ahead. In
the past, ;Mr. Brown says, too little
attention has been paid to these im
portant branches of the furming bus
iness and the farmers have been los
ers thereby.
DINNER AND SUPPER.
The ladies of the Methodist church
