LEADING SEMI-WEEKLY OF
NORTHEAST GEORGIA l
VOLUME 53.
SAYS NORCROSS
BOY IS HEADED
FOR BIG SHOW
Morgan Blake, leading southern
sport writer, in his column in the
Atlanta Journal Sunday has the fol
lowing to say of Roy Carlyle, Nor
cross boy now playing ball with the
Memphis team:
The Carlyle family, of Norcross,
Ga., is likely to furnish to baseball
a contribution fully as large as the
Delehanty family of some years ago.
There are four Carlyle brothers, and
all of them are real ball players.
Roy (Dizzy) Carlyle, the oldest of
the boys, is playing right field for
Memphis, in the Southern league,
this year, and is the sensation of the
league. His recent feat of driving
the ball up in the railroad tracks at
the Cracker ball park was about the
most notable exploit of recent years.
Cleo, the second brother, plays the
outfield for the Charlotte team, in
the Sally league, thus following in
the footsteps of Dizzy, who was with
that club last year. He is going fine
in that league, and it is expected he
will soon be in a class higher asso
ciation.
The third brother is Eldom, who
plays on the Ku Klux base ball team
of Norcross. He is also a player of
much promise. That brings us down
to the fourth brother, Harold, aged
14, who plays on the Norcross High
school team. Baseball prognosticat
ors in Norcross inform us that Har
old is destined to be the §Teatest ball
player of the entire bunch.
No less an authority than John Al
len, who has sponsored the famous
Buford teams for many years, is a
great booster of Harold, and predicts
a bright future for the lad. John saw
him play Buford recently and was
much impressed with his manner of
handling himself.
Norcross has already furnished
baseball with two big league players
in the Wingo brothers. Ivey has for
many years been a catcher on the
Cincinnatti Reds, and Red is now a
utility outfielder with the Detroit
Tigers.
If any of the Carlyle boys go to
the big tent, and we are here to re
mark that if ever we saw a minor
leaguer headed for the majors, Diz
zy is that man, then verily the little
city of Norcross will go down in his
tory as a most famous producer of
big league talent.
EMPLOYING TEACHERS
NOT RESIDING IN CITY
IS PROTESTED TO MAYOR
Atlanta, Ga.—Attorney Carl F.
Hutcheson, former member of the
board of education, has written May
or Sims protesting employment in
the public schools of teachers who
live outside the city limits. He said
120 teachers reside outside the city,
contending they receive $147,300
annually which, he claims, is not
spent in Atlanta.
The mayor made no comment on
the letter. He said he would investi
gate the matter before issuing a
statement.
Superintendent of Schools Willis
A. Sutton said that fitness to teach
was the first consideration and takes
precedence over anything else.
Mr. Hutcheson says the employ
ment of teachers who do not live in
Atlanta is an error which should be
corrected.
TRAPPED ON TRESTLE, YOUTH
SAVES GIRL AND HIMSEI.F
BY A REMARKABLE FEAT
Bristol, Tenn.—Trapped on a tres
tle, with a fast passenger train bear
ing down upon them, Barnett Hol
lingsworth, King college student,
saved his life and that of Miss Gla
dys Arnold, his companion, by tak
ing the young woman in his arms,
throwing his leg over a heavy tim
ber, hooking his foot under the steel
rail and swinging over the river 100
feet below just as the engine dashed
by.
So narrow was the escape that a
step on the engine tore Miss Arnold’s
skirt.
Hollingsworth and Miss Arnold,
with Rufus Crowel and Miss Una
Phillips, were walking to Bluff City
when they were caught on the tres
tle. Crowell and Miss Phillips reach
ed a safety stand, but the other two,
who were some distance behind,
were left in the middle of the tres
tle until Hollingsworth’s presence of.
mind and quick action saved them.
The train stopped after half the
cars had passed the point where
Hollingsworth and Miss Arnold were
caught. Crowell crawled under the
cars to this place and lifted Miss
Arnold from Hollingsworth’s arms.

ATLANTA PEN ALL
‘PUFFED UP’OVER
NOTED BOARDERS
Atlanta, Ga.—The “Colony of
Notables” at the local federal peni
tentiary will have a famous addition
in the person of Congressman John
W. Langley of Kentucky, according
to press dispatches announcing that
Langley has been sentenced to serve
two years at the local ‘‘winter re
/
sort” for conspiracy in connection
with a whisky transaction. He will
join a group to which distinction re-,
cently was lent by the arrival of for
mer Gov. McCray of Indiana.
Another notable at the penitenti
ary is George B. Remus, the Cincin
nati millionaire, who is styled the
"bootleg king of the Middle West.”
Remus came here several months ago
on a special car, accompanied by ten
associates also assigned to this pris
on, and he has been working in the
prison library. There he utilizes the
legal knowledge which won him
fame and money in Cincinnati to aid
prisoners in making out their parole
applications and in other legal twists.
A congressman, a governor and
a millionaire! There was no ‘boot
legger’s row” at the penitentiary for
Remus and his confederates, but the
authorities may be forced to estab
lish a "Notables’ Row” to care for
the host of distinguished visitors, if
•the influx keeps up.
“STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN”
SLOGAN AGAIN SOUNDED
Atlanta, Ga.—Four states in the
south now have laws requiring the
driver’s of'motor vehicles to stop ten
feet from a railway crossing, and
making it a misdemeanor for failure
to observe the law, it was pointed
out here by railway officials. Missis
sippi is the latest of the states to
adopt the “stop at crossings” law,
its statute going into effect on the
first of the present month. The oth
er states having such a law are Ten
nessee, Virginia and North Carolina.
The "stop at crossings” law
should reduce the number of grade
crossing disasters, and it would do
so if motor vehicle drivers would all
observe the law, according to Atlan
ta railroad men.
It was stated here that 47 states
are planning or already have passed
aws making crossings more safe by
requiring greater caution on the part
)f motor vehicle drivers in crossing
railway tracks. Last year, accord
ing to figures recived here, three
thousand people were killed in grade
crossing disasters in this country,
and several times that number were
injured.
THANKS: MR. PHARR.

Gwinnett now living in the “land of
flowers” is G. W. Pharr, former

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, MONDAY, MAY 19, 1924.
NATL. ACADEMY
SCIENCE PUCE
OF WONDERS
Washington, D. C., May 15.-—The
new building erected by the scientists
of the nation in Washington, D. C., is
called the National Academy of Sci
ences. Many ministers who have
visited it have called it a Temple of
God, since it exhibits His wonders to
all who may come to look.
In the building are dn view a num
ber of important scientific exhibits
and experiments, of which most stu
dents have read, but which few have
had a chance to see. The visitor can
here watch for himself the famous ex
periment of Foucault, first performed
in the Parthenon in Paris, by which
a very long pendulum is made to
show the rotation of the earth. Here
he has a chance to watch the Brown
ian movement of minute particles,
which demonstrate the continual and
never ceasing movement going on in
the structure of matter. He may ob
serve an experiment showing the
pressure of light (a very recent dis
covery) and watch the changing of
the sun and see the sun spots.
These, and many other marvels,
constitute a continuous exhibit for the
education and delight of thousands
of visitors for all time to come. The
experiments and exhibits will be ad
ded to, from time to time as new dis
coveries provide new marvels for ex
hibition.
The nation’s capital gains a build
ing worthy of the great architectural
display there to be seen, and educa
tion gains a temple in which the many
may see the result of the work of the
few.

HOUSE REPASSES
THE BONUS BILL
OVERRIDING VETO
Washington.—The house Satur
day passed the soldier’s bonus bill
over President Coolidge's veto.
Party lines vanished as supporters
of the measure piled up a comforta
ble margin over the two-thirds ma
jority required on such a vote.
Enactment into law or final de
feat of the bill now is up to the
senate, where a closer result is ex
pected.
Chairman Green, of the ways and
means committee, sponsor of the
bill, declared the committee in fram
ing the measure had gone fully into
the costs.
“The bill was extremely moder
ate,” he said, "and one which from
a financial standpoint I thought
surely no one could take exception
to. Do you tell me this country can’t
afford such a bill? Surely it is un
worthy of so great a nation to take
such a view."
The house came to its decision af
ter an hour’s debate, during which
some of the party leaders on both
sides of the chamber argued that
the position taken by the president
should be upheld on economic as well
as moral grounds. Advocates of the
bill not only denied that it would
place a serious burden on the treas
ury, as contended hy Mr. Coolidge,
but assailed in unmeasured terms
the language employed in the Veto
message with reference to former
service men.
The surging enthusiasm of those
who argued for repassage of the
measure now and again swept the
floor and the crowded galleries into
bursts of cheering, and as the de
bate went on there were cries of
“vote, vote” in increasing volume
from members who wanted tb s£<*
the president overridden without
any appearance of delay.
The present plan is to ask for ao
tion Monday in the senate, where the
bonus bill of last session finally went
on the rocks after President Ward
ing had vetoed it and it had been re
passed by the house. The bonus ad
vocates still claimed today that they
had three or four more than eonugh
votes to make the present measure
a law.

i BUFORD BOY
WRITES THANKS
TO RED CROSS
W. L. Nunn, former Buford boy,
who is now teaching in Japan, writes
the Buford chapter of Red Cross a
letter of thanks for aid sent to Ilia
territory to aid the suffering caused
by the recent earthquake there. Mr.
Nunn is a son of Prof, and Mrs.
Nunn, of Buford, and a brother of
Mrs. Ben Shackelford and Mrs. Ivie
Haygood, of Atlanta, formerly of
Lawreneeville. Bill Nunn is an honor
graduate of Oglethorpe and has been
on foreign soil for some time.
Oita, Japan, April 2, 1924.
Mrs. V. H. Allen, Chairman Buford
Red Cross,
Buford, Ga., U. S. A.,
My Dear Mrs. Allen: I wish to
thank the Buford Red Cross for
their generous donation to relieve
the suffering of these people render
ed homeless by the holocaust in the
Kanto district of this island empire.
Although the money was delayed
both in New York and also here in
Japan it at last reached me and was
at once turned over to a fund for
the buying, making and ciistribution
of bedding.
The great fund Contributed by
Americans to aid these people in
their time of need was appreciated
by every man, woman and ebild in
Japan. It aided the Japanese to re
cover their morale and save thous
ands of lives. People were fed, ba
bies were given milk and clothing,
and bedding was distributed to all
for the asking. Not only that but it
has had a great international signifi
cance in that it has taught the Japa
nese people that America is theit
frieiid. The generosity of the better
people of America has in some tvaysr
smoothed out the troubles caused by
Stupid legislation oh the part of
equally stupid Americans-
The Tokyo and Yohobhrts of to
day are very different frotn the two
great cities of Japan before the
earthquake and are also very differ
ent frorf! the burning remains that f
fled from as a refugee in the middle
of September of last year Today*
the two places are cities of herracklv
not unlike an American army camp
during the last war. These were built
from American timber soon after the
quake. Indeed such houses were be
ing built before the fires were en
tirely out! A greater Tokyo is now
being planned by the people Who not
six months ago watehed all they po«K
sosssd go up in Paroee and in thous
ands of cases briened to the moans
and cries of members of the families
pinned under houses—cries that
were only stopped by tbe merciWUa
flames that swept all of Yokohama
and two-thirds of Tokyo. We think
that these people are building better
than before and we cannot but ad
mire the strong courage of such a
race of men and women.
Japan today needs help. Her lead
ing colleges and universities, li
braries, art galleries shared no bet
ter than her leading business Louses,
banks, Houses of Parliament and Im
perial build.ngs. All of them tin tbe
•Ja.vagcd -rea are «>',-■ her destroyed
or damaged to a great degree. And
in the face )i uli f 'his she still car
ries x\‘- Today calls are being madd
in Aasra anu in Europe for bo ks
money, literature, churches and
credit. Will the more civilized coun
tries of the world turn a deaf ear to
the call which comes hm this de
vastated and impo 'er:riied region of
Japan?
Allow me once more to express
the great appreci t on of the Japa
nese people to the people of Amer
ica for their aid and lot me also ex
press to the Buford Red Gross my
appreciation in being chosen 10 give
your generous donation f« in grate
