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. !T.[ Ie News-Herau> 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.

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. l* NINTH DISTRICT LEGION NAMES CARITHERS HEAD Winder, Ga., Hugh A.

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.

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 ful people and to re_«;ve fhcir many thanks. With warmest regards to every member of the Chapter. I beg to re main, Heartily vonrs, WILLIAM LEE VENN 1 .
