LEADING SEMI-WEEKLY OF NORTHEAST GEORGIA VOLUME 53. FIFTH DISTRICT IS WINNER OF LITERARY CUP Athens, Ga.—Two splendid uehat ■ers, a boy and a girl from Milledge ville, Ga., convinced the judg«es in the high school debate, the last event of the meet that closed Friday, that all cities in Georgia o? 3-,000 pop ulation or over should have a city manager plan of govemlaent. .The members of the winning team were Miss Katherine Smith and Elias Daniel. They 'defeated two girls, also well versed with the sub ject and the art of debating, Misses Elizabeth Taylor aid Uyna Smith of Warrenton. The decision was two to one for the affirmative, championed by Mil len. A boy musician, Virgil Hooks, of Forsyth won place in the mu sic contest. The first district with 13 points ■won first pteee in the literary con test with the seventh and ninth tied for second place with ten points each. The third district was third with eight points. The eighth dis trict had '3 points. CITIZENS OF HARBINS KECK 'ABOUT SHOOTING Messrs. M. L. Robinson and Gaines Robinson, citizens of Harbins dis trict, were in Lawrenceville Wednes day afternoon telling of the shoot ing on the highways whieh endan gered the lives of both men and children-and sad the occurrence took place last Saturday afternoon. Messrs. Griswell and Robinson stated that on Saturday afternoon they weren ot far from the Alcova bridge in Harbins district and that a car containing four or five men passed over the bridge, the occu pants stopping. across the rive*. While thus stopped more than fif teen diots were fired from the car and iroad. Mr. Griswell stated that he and his children were working on' and near the river and the shots en dangered their lives. Mr. Robmson stated that a l‘r. Drummonds came along -with a wagon, in -which sever al children were riding, and that his' -mule became frightened by the shots. 1 He (Drummonds) is said to have’ .-asked the men what they were shoot ing at and one replied “they were shooting the water out of the road.” The car passed across the bridge and' as eightor ten more shots were fired the -mule ran away and the wagon ■was demolished. Neither Messrs. Griswell, Robin son and ’Drummonds knew the occu pants of the car, which is said to’ have been a five passenger touring ear of wffll known malce. The gen tlemen stated however that the num-, her-of men and time tallied with thei time policemen and revenue officers, crossed the river and set fire to three stills that had -previously been -destroyed. FORD EMPLOYES TO LOSE THEIR VACATIONS’ Detroit, Mich., June 14.—Office employes and executives of tire Ford Motor Company will go without their customary two weeks’ vacation this' year under an order that went into effect Saturday. About 23)000 men and women are affected. Beginning Saturday, the Ford of fices ai* to g*> on a five-day a -week schedule. For the ne»,t twelve weeks these Saturdays off for the office em ployes are to be in lieu of the sum mer vacation each has received in the past, there being twelve working days in a two weekk’ vacation. If the five-day a week is continued in force after the end of twelve weeks, the pay of the employes is to be cut in proportion, they were notified. Six wbeks <wr so ago the factory em ployes were put on a five-day basis. They have never been given vaca tions. Henry Ford’s view as expressed by some of the executives, is that if the factories can accomplish all the re quired production in five days a week, it should not take longer than that for the office personnel to supervise production. Ford has also many times expressed the view that five days a week k enough for any one to labor. The best preparation fo ( r the fu ture is the present well seen to, the last duty done. No one knows the heart’s blood that is poured „into success except, the Itun who poured it. Keeping one’s health seems to de mand the doing of a lot of things one doesn’t want t< do.

The News-Herald STATE POLITICAL POT BEGINS TO BOIL Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—With the (entries in state-wids and congression al district races closing on Saturday, June 21, interest in the political situa tion in Georgia has been giveh added zest during the last few days. Un til the last week or two there have | ben indications that there would be a lack of spirited contests, but with the approach of the closing date for en tries in the various races, there is reason to believe the 1924 campaign may develop several interesting fea tures. United States Senator William J. Harris, who has just announced his candidacy for reelection, has qualified, and the probability of opposition on the part of Chief Justice Richard B. Russell, of the state supreme court, or ex-Governor Thomas W. Hardwick, appears to be strong. Governor Hardwick, who has stated he would vigorously support Justice Russell, should the latter become a candidate, indicated Saturday that he himself might oppose Senatpr Harris in an effort to regain the senatorial toga which he lost to Senator Harris six years ago. “It is a certainty,” said the former governor and senator, “that Mr. Har ris will have strenuous opposition. Any of Mr. Harris’ friends who think that he will get by without a fight are mightily mistaken.” Walker to Run Again. The formal announcement of Gov ernor Clifford Walker as a candidate for re-election is expected about the middle of the week. It has been tacitly understood that the governor would seek another term, and he has indicated as much informally, but within the next few days he is ex pected to register and qualifywith Mrs. Bessie Andersen, secretary of the state democratic executive committee. The governor on Monday night may sound the keynote of his platform when he delivers the Phi Beta Kappa address at the University of Georgia commencement ceremonies. He let it be known S*rt»nday that to ad dress he would stress the importance of a wider educational program for Georgia with more and better public school and college equipment, and the necessity off improving health -condi tions throughout the-state. « Dt. L. G. Hardman, of Commerce, wimed Saturday "that within Ijhe next fmar or ,‘fiwe 'days he "would "definitely decide whether he will enter the gov ernor’s race. A few days ago he is sued a statement that he had the matter under consideration, and indi cated that a further statement, to gether with the announcement of his platform, would be issued soon in the event he decided to run. The prelim inary statement was 'given out after aoenfcremie between Dr. IHardman, ex-Governor Hardwick and their po litical advisors. Educators tto 'Contest. Although neither ifaas formally qual ified as a candidate, Dr. N. H. Bal lard, state school superintendent, and Fort E. Land, vocational education director, are in opposition for the of fice of superintendent. Dr. .’Ballard has indicated that he will announce soon :as ;a candidate to succeed him self, and Mr. Land & few .tispys ago formally announced his candidacy. The following candidates for state house offices have qualified by paying heir -entrance lees; Major C. ,E. Mc- Gregor, to succeed himself as pension commissioner; William A. Wright, to succeed himself as'camptroller-gener a3; W. X Speer, to succeed himself as state treasurer; S. G. McLendon, to ,s»eeeed himself as secretary of state; Gewrge M. Napier, to succeed himself as attorney general; (*. F. Hunnicutt,. opposing X J. Brown for commission er of agrimlture-; Albert X Woodruff, opposing James D. Price for member of the public service commission. Thus far -three races have developed. Congressman Wil liam D. Upshaw wiD be opposed by L. J. Steele, of Decatwr, in the fifth district; Frank Holden, of Athens, is opposing Congressman Charles H. Brand in the eighth district, and Con gressman Wise is opposed by Ben J. Fowler. It is known that efforts are being made to induce Judge B. F. Walker, of Wrens, Ga., former judge of the Toombs circuit, to oppose Con gressman Carl Vinson, in the tenth. Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—When the Georgia legislature convenes on June will gather in the historic lawmaking halls at the capitol for the third time within the past twelve months. For, in addition to the regular summer ses sions of 1923 and 1924, there was an extraordinary session last November and December, called by the governor primarily to enact tax reform meas ures. The purpose of the extra session ffflS defeated, however, when the house and senate adjourned, hopeless ly deadlocked, over amendments to a proposed income tax measure for the state revenues. Frequency of legislative sessions is of particular interest this year in view of the probability that laws to create a system of biennial, instead of ' LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE IS, 1924. THREE STILLS WERE CUT DOWN BY THE SHERIFF It having been published in the Atlanta papers and in one of the county papers that a party <*£ rev enue officers working in conjunction with J. M. Bernard, who has rceent iy, been apponited county police, re cently cut down five stills near the Hugh Lowe old mill in this county, I desire to state that this report is untrue. My deputies, Hugh Garner, How ard Garner and Lum Brown, and myself cut down three stills near that place on Saturday morning about 10 o’clock, doing the work in the same manner as always done, and the Bernard party was there I about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, af ter the stills had been destroyed. There were no other stills cut down in this county except the ones which my party and I cut down. The other stills destroyed by the Bernard par ty were located in Walton county. I am calling attention to ths for the reason that the report is an in justice to me and infers that I am neglectful of my duties in dehtroy ing stills. The stills 1 destroyed were located about ten mHes from Law rencevilhe and when it was reported to me on Friday afternoon that they were in operation, I went Saturday morning and cut them down. E. S.

A well behaved wolf at the door will choose the back door instead of the front one. annual sessions, of the assembly will be among the chief reforms under taken during the coming fifty days of parliamentary debate. A companion to the biennial sessions bill, which will also he introduced, is one to make the terms of officers four years in stead of two, with the proviso that the governor shall not be a -candidate to succeed himself in office. Both proposed laws are claimed, by their sponsors, to be steps toward relieving Georgia of the burden of annual po litical entanglements, and the waste of strenuous campaigns for election ev ery other year. May Reduce Numbers. In the same class of legislation is a bill which may be introduced again which would reduce the size of both houses of the legislature on the idea that 2fi6 memlwrs of the lower house and fifty-one of the senate, are alto gether too many, and make both bodies too cumbersome for effective administration. This bill was intro-! duced last year, but met a speedy death. There are numbers of oth<'- bi'ls of; unusual interest which -will oecimv the attention of members of both bouses, under the gavels of President George' H. Carswell, in the senate, and Speak er W. Cecil Neill in the house. One of the most important issues to be discussed is a proposal, sponsored Ly Representative Mann, of Glynn county, for a $50,000,000 state bond issue for the budding of a great sys tem of paved roads linking every county in the stain and for am. her bond issue of $8,000,000 for the build ing of schools ml i-iw building, for state-owned insti u' ions of higher learning. Under Mr. Mann’s plan, fit; new taxation would be required to take care of these bon 1 issues, part of the present revenues devoted to the high way department being used to retire the road bonds, and similar arrange ments being made for the education bond issue. It is a proposal to use the revenue of the next thirty years at wane, in order that the benefit of the better roads, etc., may be enjoyed at once and all through the thirty year period. ' Civil Service Urged. Repsesentative Lee Langley, of Floyd county will introduce a number of important bills, one being for the creation of a civil service commission to supervise employment of all work ers in state departments and bureaus, and another providing for disfran chisement, for one primary, of all qualified voters who fail to cast their ballots at any statewide primary for statehouse officers without filing legal excuse with the tax collector of their county. > - Representative Lawrence Camp, of Campbell county is eager to see Ins bill providing for badly needed repair on the capitol building passed. He proposes to provide funds for remod eling of the ground floor of the bvild ing, so that it may be used for of fices, thus relieving the serious con gestion which has forced some depart ments into rented buildings. Two de partments have this summer taken over offices on this floor, the state EXPERT SAYS TOWNS AND COUNTRY ARE DEPENDENT ON EACH OTHER Denver, Col., June 17.—The neces sity for more personal contact an.] more practical cooperation between all commercial, scientific', and agricultur al factors in the development of com munities and the nation, and the need for the realization that the pr. sperity of no city can be greater than the prosperity of its surrounding terri tory, were urged today by Carl J. Baer, manager of the development service bureau of the chamber of commerce of St. Louis, in an addresr. oefore the eighth annual convjrti-.ui of all the 1250 Kiwanis clubs in the Urited States and Canada, now in se.‘ cion. “Today we are in a critical et ndi tion because of the growing breach between the people of the cities and the people on the farms of the coun try ” said Mr. Baer. “We have failed to look upon agri culture as a business, and the major ity of people do not realize that it is the largest business gi the world. It is a big business, but in comparison W’ith otHers, it is hot a profitable one. Taking into consideration the invest ment, the labor, the false credit for the profit because of the rise In land values, and the ddbreasing fertility of the soil, the averfcge farmer has not been able to accultimulate any money in the last fifty years, “Business men of the cities must see to it that the 46,000,000 people on the farms have ah even break with city people. Rqral children should have the same facilities for education, recreation, and health as city children. Farm people should have equal facil ties for educational and financial ad vancement as the people in the cities, “Even at present, the, jealousies and suspicion between farm and city people in some auctions is pitiful. Conditions separate the people in stead of drawing them together. “Numerous examples of the neces sity to cooperate to eliminate such conditions in our eeonwiic life prove the inter-dependence of town and country, and in every case they show that the assistance of business men, civic and commercial organizations on direct behalf of the farmers in their own sectSwns has increased the commerce of their cities. “Seventy per cent of all the raw prodoets of tare evened come from the farm. While five and one half billion dollars was necessary to run the American •government- last year, 90 per cent of that amount was spent in the payment -of war debts, and in maintaining the army and navy. Of the 1 j*n->ce«t that went to education and agriculture, only one third, or 30 cents -out of every SIOO went to the agriculture that produced S7O of the s3©flL Since much more money will probably not come from the govern ment, the problem is up to the people in each community itself. “Wee in the cities have been organ ising every kind of an organization to protect business and labor, but we haven’t had sense enough to help or ganize the very institution that is the basis of all prosperity. We need to rehabilitate the farms, get farmers in all civic groups, and secure the co operation necessary to make for bal- SURP.ENDED BY HEAD BETWEEN CROSS TIES HE IS RESCUED ALIVE New York.-—Suspended by his bead, which had been caught be tween two ties, a man supposed to be P. J. Mullins, today hung from an elevated railway track in Brook lyn until he was rescued by firemen who cut away the ties. Police were unable to account for the fact that the man’s body was below the tracks and his head was jammed between the ties. Only his chrn saved him from falling. He was suffering from lacerations and a possible fracture of the skull, from which he was said to be in a criti cal condition. The police said several trains pass ed over the victim’s head.

That adequate preparedness for the ..protection of government, life, prop erty and freedom of action is tho v’tal need of this time, particularly be cause of the menace of radicalism, was the statement emphasized today by Fred R. Marvin, associa'e editor of the New York Commercial, in an address today before the c invention of Kiwanis clubs. “Since the- world war, out c‘ which we thought we Mr. Marvin, “every civilized nation s been seriously disturbed hv mani festations of unrest, d : strust, class consciousness and class hatred. We are 'old by cle- er propagandists- that the •v. y to estal’ish peace i ; to abandon armies and navies, forget war hatred and be more liberal-minded. “All of this has a dire"' co me?- . on with bolshevism, which, as it has Hen proven, Is not a theorv o f gov rr.ment but rather a theoiv of no government, a theory coupled with a [trctice of misery, force, violence and individual acts of terroistn.

The system of deception, an I organi zation they follow, have continued without much change in principle un der the present name of communism. “The Communist International of Russia is the present order of Illum inati, renforced in its work by the led army. The communists have taken advantage of their opportunity in America -because of exceptionally lib eral immgiration laws. They have organized what is called the workers' party, which carries out orders from the Communist International at Rus sia. In the trial of Foster and Ru thenberger at St. Joseph, Michigan, the evidence brought out that com munists points of contact were made through the trade union educational league, farmer-labor party, African Blood Brotherhood, and the American Civil Liberties Union; and politically through an organization known as “The Conference for Progressive Po litical Action.” In addition to these there are something like 200 organi zations engaged in spreading com munist propaganda; and supporting these organizations there are circulat ed in the United States over COO pub lications, 525 of which are printed in some foreign country and circulated in this country. “The agents of communism create the attitude of unrest, then distrust, and then class consciousness. From this the next step is that of class hatred. From those imbued with this class hatred, get those who defy laws and who commit such deeds as were done at Herrin, Illinois. “There is only one great movement that will insure the protection of the sound government that we now enjoy, and that is adequate preparedness. Peace and protection will never be se cured by abandoning the sentiments of national loyalty and patriotism.” GOOD ROADS HAVE REVOLUTIONIZED PO LITICAL CAMPAIGNING Decatur, Ga., June 12.—Twenty five years ago a political aspirant would not think of campaigning in an automobile due to the inaccessibility of travel on the roads of the state. Today we find that every road in Georgia has been improved. In a recent newspaper story the campaign of Albert J. Woodruff, can didate for a place on the public ser vice commission (railroad commis sioner) of Georgia against J. D. Price, of Athens, was emphasized by his rap id campaigning in an automobile. The article states that Mr. Woodruff has covered 130 odd counties in the coursj of eight weeks and by the middle of July he will have covered every coun ty in the state. This done, Mr. Wood ruff will have the distinction of being the first candidate for office to cam paign in every county. He states that practically every road he has traveled is being improved and in good condition. Mr. Woodruff highly complimented the roads and states that better roads are a necessity for the farmer in marketing his crops.

CONTRACT IS SIGNED FOR GWINNETT ROAD Atlanta, Ga., June 17.—Contract for the paving, with penetration ma cadam, of the section of the Law renceville-Atlanta highway in Gwin nett county, was made Monday be tween the state highway department and the county of Gwinnett. Under the arrangement made, the road, 16.4 miles in length, will be paved this year, the county to furnish the labor and the state department to furnish •the material. A similar contract has been ar ranged with DeKalb county, whereby the paving of half of the balance of unfinished road on this highway is to be comp..ted this year, and the rest next year. There is, however, a possibility, it is stated, that DeKalb will be able to complete the entire project this year, if their funds allow. The unpaved stretch in DeKalb is eight miles in length. When these two projects are com pleted, it will provide a hard-surfaced road all the way from Atlanta to Lawrenceville. Arlopted in Other Counties. Similar arrangements have been made between the state deparment and various counties in recent weeks, with the result that important pro jeots included in the program of the, proposed state highway system are now under way, which could not have been begun this year, at least, if this plan of construction had not been adopted. The suggestion that this plan be tried was made about a year ago by Editor Charles E. Brown, of the Cordele Dispatch, and the high way officials of the state give him full credit for that suggestion. Among projects woiich are being eonsrueted plan, in addition to the Gwinnett and DeKalb county undertakings, are the following: Bartow county—Four miles of road running south from Cartersville. Cobh couiiti'—Jhi'Ct jiuks of road running north from Marietta. Coweta county—Eight and a half miles of road between Palmetto and Newnan. Clayton county—The highway from the Fulton county line through Jones boro. This is on the main Atlanta- Macon highway. Ben Hill county—From the city of Fitzgerald to'the Wilcox county line. Projects in Many Counties. Crisp county From the Dooly county line to the Turner county line, passing through Cordele. Rabun county From Tallulah Falls to the North Carolina line. Habersham county— From Demo rest to Clarkesville. Clarke county—Four miles, from the end. of the paving of the city of Athens, to the Oconee county line. This is on state highway route No. 8 to Atlanta. Besides these, other contracts have >een made, all for hard surfaced high ways and a large number of chert and gravel road projects.

FARMERS SONS IN MAJORITY AT MERCER UNIVERSITY Macon, Ga., June 16.—Are south ern colleges being filled by farmers’ sons and young men whoee 1 fathers never had a chance to get a eollbge education ? Such is true if statistics gathered concerning the fathers of Mercer uni versity students apply to the parent age of a majority of southern col legians. Out of the 1,000 students at Mer cer during the past year, records show that the parents of 33.6 per cent were farmers. Coincident to this is the fact that of the fathers represented,, 65 per cent never went to college. Next to the farmers, ministers lead in the number having sent sons to. Mercer, with physicians and lawyers following close behind. The leading classifications of the thousand fathers represented during the past year are: Farmers, 3.6 per cent; ministers, 8.4 per cent; physicians, 6.4 per cent; lawyers, 6 per cent; real estate deal ers, 1.6 per cent; and insurance men, 1.5 per cent. When the laughs are loudest, the ynic wants to throw his bomb. S. S. CONVENTION ATP ACC LA JUNE 29 The Dacula Methodist church has invited the Annual County Sunday School Convention for all denomina tions to meet with them on June 29th, according to an announcement made by Prof. J. J. Brock, Lawrenceville, president of the Gwinnett County Sunday School Association. The hos pitality of these people is well known and doubtless the Sunday school peo ple from every section of the county will attend in large numbers. The convention will be an all day affair, it is understood, and dinner will be ■ed on the grounds at the noon hour. The State Sunday School Associa tion is offering two banners: ene t« the school with the largest number «f , delegates present in proportion to. the distance traveled; and another to the school having the largest number of its officers and teachers present in proportion to the distance traveled, provided 75 per cent of them are in attendance. This will, no doubt, be a big incentive for most of the churches to work up a large attendance. The Sunday school superintendents nd the pastors are asked to take note of this and see that a fine at tendance is worked up from their schools. NUMBER 61* I
