GEORGIA’S LEADING WEEKLY
VOLUME 53.
OFFICERS LAND
W. J. BLANDON
GWINNETT JAIL
W. J. Blandon, of Gainesville, un
der indictment by the local grand
jury of two years ago for trans
porting and possessing whisky, was
arrested in Gainesville Monday and
brought to Lawrenceville by Sheriff
E. S. Garner, where he was placed
in Gwinnett county jail, his bond
being fixed at SSOO.
About two years ago a large
touring car was captured by Sheriff
Garner and deputies after an excit
ing chase in which some of the whis
ky was said to have been thrown
from the car. Final capture reveal
ed a large amount of liquor and the
driver and owner was identified as
W. J. Blandon, said to reside near
Gainesville. Another white man and
a negro man and two white women
were also taken.
The two m n proved they were
only riding in the car and were re
leased. ' 'i
The women, as will be remem
bered, were later carried to Atlan- ]
ta by R. B. Fortune, now practicing ]
law in Atlanta, and these three have i
since frequently figured in the I
courts.
W. J. Blandon was later indicted
by the grand jury but made his es
cape from the state. Acting on a tip
from Sheriff Garner he was arrest
ed by Deputies Crow, of Hall coun
ty, as stated, and will now face
trial.
REV. R. B. ANDERSON ACCEPTS
CALL TO LAWRENCEVILLE
Rev. R. B. Anderson, of Crawford
ville, Ga., has accepted the call of
the Lawrenceville Presbyterian and
Fairview churches, and will move
here shortly.
Mr. Anderson is one of the out
standing ministers of this denomina
tion and his coming in our midst will
add much to the moral and spiritual
life of the community. He is a mid
dle age man and has a wife and five
children.
It is not known as yet when the
new preacher will come, but he will
move just as soon as the necessary
arrangements are made.
Tax Equalization Law Stands.
That Georgia lawmakers have
found it difficult, if, not impossible
to run the state without a tax equal
ization law, is again evidenced by
the recent action of the state senate
in turning down a measure to repeal
it. It was the usual annual result
efforts to repeal the law being made
practically at every session of the
legislature.
“The tax equalization law was
sponsored by that able and excellent
Georgian, Former Governor Slaton,
whose purpose, while governor was
to equalize the tax burdens.”
Lawmakers who opposed the re
peal took the position, long advocat
ed by Governor Slaton, that any and
all taxes must be equalized whether
they be on land or incomes.
“Every man in the same situation
must bear the same burden and pro
vision must be made for equal im
position of the taxes,” was a remark
of Governor Slaton that has been
frequently quoted by advocates of the
tax equalization law.
In a large portion of the states of
the union, including North Carolina,
to which reference is frequently made
by lawmakers here, the property of
the farmer is assessed.
The equalization law as advocated
by Governor Slaton provided for lo
cal self-government, and if the law is
not properly administered in each
county, as he pointed out, it is be
cause the tax equalizers of that
county, chosen by the citizens of that
county, are not performing their
duties. The great complaint is that
the equalizers are not severe enough,
and it is the desire of many to make
the law more stringent, it was point
ed out.
“If all the citizens were taught
that they had to pay more taxes ev
ery time more appropriations were
granted, they would check up more
strictly on their representatives
against extravagant appropriations,”
said Governor Slaton today in com
menting on the action of the senate
in upholding the tax equalization law.
UNION SINGING.
There will be a union singing at
McKendree the fourth Sunday eve
ning. All good singres invited to
come and bring their books.
ANOTHER PIANO SACRIFICE.
Due to inability to keep up pay
ments, we have had another high
grade piano, in the best of condi
tion, turned back to us. This instru
ment we can sell for a rare bargain,
giving terms to responsible parties.

SIX m and 165
GALLONS CAPTURED
One of the biggest hauls made in
' these parts lately was the capture of
three cars and six men near Nor
cross last Friday night as they were
returning from the mountains with
165 gallons of liquor.
In the posse were Deputy Sheriffs
Howard Garner, Lum Brown, Jim
Kirk Garner and Policeman Henry
McClung.
All of the whisky was in a large
Cadillac, the loaded car being sand
wiched between a Dodge and a Hudson.
The pilot car signalled those follow
ing what was up, but before they
turn around the whole crowd was
nabbed. Two men made their escape
in the mixup, but six were bagged.
The Cadillac was injured and had
to be towed in, and a large crowd as
sembled on the public square Satur
day morning as the liquor was poured
into the sewer.
The men were placed in jail, but
have since given bond.
The prisoners gave their names as
Joe Harris, W. O. Woodall, J. H.
Bowers, F. W. Hanson, H. G. Wright
and J. T. Daley, and their addresses

Keith Durham died
AT BUFORD WEDNESDAY
Buford, Ga., July 19.—Mr. Keith
Durham, eighty-five years of age,
died suddenly while seated on the
porch of his home Wednesday after
noon from heart failure.
Mr. Durham was a native of Pick
ens county, South Carolina, and
served in the artillery of the confed
erate army during the war between
the states. At the close of the war
Mr. Durham settled in Georgia, near
Buford, and his residence has re
mained in and near Buford since that
time.
Although in bad health for several
months, Mr. Durham’s death was
quite unexpected by his family and
friends at this time.
Since coming to Buford, Mr. Dur
ham’s activities have been in the
mercantile business and farming, but
of late years he had retired.
Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon, with interment in the city
cemetery.
Industries Coming South.
The trend of industry from the
larger cities of the north and east
toward the south has been especially
marked, according to F. H. McDon
ald, managing director of the Geor
gia Industrial Bureau, and the result,
as Ire points out, is that many otter
cotton mills, wood-working and other
plants have been and are being lo
cated in southern towns close to the
cotton fields, the forests and the iron
mines. It is a movement—now be
ing stimulated by his bureau and
other organizations—that will mean
much to the south in an industrial
way, Atlanta business men state.
Manufacturers, it is showc, have
found it advantageous to have their
factories and mills located where the
timber, the cotton or the iron are
easily accessible and where there is
native labor not contaminated with
the unrest so marked among the
alien workers in large center*.
Scores of towns in Gecrrga and
throughout the south are snow at
work trying to get factories ®f vari
ous kinds and are providing locations.
Manufacturers in eastern states,
Mr. McDonald says, are finding it to
their interest to move southward
where the climate is favorable for
all-the-year-round operations of
mills.
Gwinnett Is Chicken Cen%.
The state department of agricul
ture has published a comprehensive
booklet on Georgia agriculture. All
of Georgia’s numerous crops are dis
cussed, with facts and figures to
show what the state has done in the
past, and to indicate what may be
accomplished in future. Mention is
also made of many other attractions
such as educational institutions, good
roads and other things. The book
shows:
Nine counties have upwards of
150,000 chickens each, and these are
Coffee, Laurens, Screven, Gwinnett,
Hall, Carroll, Bartow, Floyd and
Walker.
The eight counties having more
htan 15,000 cattle are Wayne, Cam
den, Charlton, Coffee, Colquitt,
Clinch, Tatnall and Bullock.
Six counties possess from thirty to
forty thousand head of swine: Thom
as, Brooks, Colquitt, Laurens, Eman
uel and Bullock. Eleven have more
than 3,000 goats. Four have 2,500
sheep or more. Three counties ean
boast of over 100,000 pecan trees —
Lee, Mitchell and Dougherty, the
latter possessing over 300,000. Three
counties possess from one to five
million peach trees: Jones, Macon
and Houston counties.

YOUTH MOURNED AS
DEAD MUCH ALIVE
Atlanta, Ga., July 21.—Buried un
der the name of John W. Hinton, in
the Hinton plot in the cemetery at
Bogart, Ga., there lies the body of a
youth who now is supposed to be
Collis Harris, of Blakely, Ga., while
John W. Hinton, himself very much
alive and in the flesh, is at the home
of his father, W. H. Hinton, 115 Pul
liam street.
The story of how young Hinton
was mourned as dead and his sup
posed body actually buried after the
body of a youth who was killed by a
train at Cartersville had been posi
tively identified by his stepmother,
his father, his relatives and scores of
friends as his own, is one of the
strangest tales of mistaken identity
that has ever unfolded itself in the
annals of Georgia.
The explanation of the situation, or
rather the reason for it, lies, accord
ing to press dispatches from Carters
ville, with another youth named
Horace Singletary, who resides near
Blakely, and who was himself critic
ally injured by the train that killed
his young companion. Singletary
was quoted in dispatches Friday as
declaring that he knew all along that
the dead boy wa« named. Harris and
not Hinton, but that he feared to tell
because he was “in love’’ with young
Harris’ sister and she might “think
I was responsible for the death of
her brother.”
But Sngletary’s story was not told
until late Thursday' night, after the
mistake had already been discovered
through the finding of young Hinton
at the home of an aunt, Mrs. N. L.
Hamilton, of Smithsonia, Ga., on the
same day, and at almost the exact
hour that his supposed body was be
ing lowered into a small grave by the
side of his deceased mother in the
family burial plot at Bogart.
Friday morning the relatives of
young Harris were on their way from
Blakely to Atlanta to make arrange
ments to have the body of the youth
who now is declared to be Collis
Harris, disinterred from the. Bogart
cemetery and transferred to the
Harris burial plot at Blakely.
And young Hinton, he who was
mourned as dead and buried, is safe
at 115 Pulliam street, having been
welcomed back by his family and
friends, some of whom, as yet, seem
unable to believe that they look upon
him as a material being of the earth
and not as some ethereal specter
from the land beyond the grave.
PAVED ROADS SOLVE
THE PRODUCE TRADE
Atlanta, Ga., July 21. —Paved roads j
have solved the fresh produce prob-i
lem in Georgia and in many other
sections of the south in the opinion
of leading- agriculturists here.
Not many years ago when a man
came home on a late summer evening
with a wistful desire for watermelon
or strawberries, he ran a good chance
of being told by an equally wistful
wife that there were none to be had.
And, if fresfti farm products—mel
ons, berries, squashes and beans—
were to be had, his wife generally
disliked their prices. Often they
were exorbitant. Dealers mnder
stood the strategic position in which
the scarcity and demand of Itiresh
food placed them.
Then came the hard-surfaced noads
—thousands of miles of them. Geor
gia may soon have a complete state
wide system iif it put through its {pro
posed bond issue. Wherever roads
were built fltey linked the iwwins and
country. They solved the fresh pro
duce problem, both for the unban
family and the farm producers.
Both classes have eagerty seized
the opportunity. Countless farms
keep fresh produce stands by the
roadsides, in some of the states.
Countless mtCorists drive froua town*
and cities to those new markets.
They return with fresher goods than
they could generally buy in town, and
at a lower price. The farmer boys,
girls and women who keep the stands
smile while they sell, for they know
that they have a new and dependable
aid for prosperity.
What is now a means of satisfac
tion to many farmers and tow aft
people is rapidly growing into a na
tional practice. Paved roads have at
last brought the producer and the
consumer together, and more of them
will be brought together when Geor
gia builds all of its roads.
Interest on a bond issue, advocates
of good roads point out, is a small
annual cost to pay for the privileges
and benefits that come from having a
paved system, even if there were no
actual savings to offset the interest
charges. As a matter of fact, in ad
dition to the general good, and the
personal savings in operation and up
keep to car owners, it is asserted, the
actual dg£h savingg in maintainance
of the paved system over the dirt
system will pay for the interest on
the bonds.

i WEEVILS ARE HERE
IN FULL FORCE
During the last few days many
young weevils have come out and are
doing considerable damage to a num
ber of cotton fields.
This is a year that the weevils are
going to do considerable damage be
fore he is noticed unless the cotton
is watched very closely. Last year
most of the weevils were out of hi
bernation before squares were
formed. This year the weevils did
not migrate until the cotton was
squaring freely. These early punc
tured squares have hatched out
young weevils that are working rap
idly. I find in going in many fields
the squares appear to be in good
shape, and no punctures can be no
ticed until the squares are opened.
When this is done in many eases
quite a number can be found. If
this crop of squares are not picked
up and destroyed and the cotton kept
dusted with calcium arsenate we are
in a good position to lose this cotton
crop. Many farmers have the idea
that the weevils are not going to do
the damage this year they did last
year; but if you will make a close
examination of your crop you will
doubtless find that something must
be done at once. You have a worse
fight than last year unless we have
a very dry August.
If you Want to get best results
from calcium arsenate it must be ap
plied with some kind of machine
that will blow it out into a dust
cloud. Do this when the air is rea
sonably still. Last year when the
cotton was small the syrup mixtures
gave wonderful results on the small
cotton; but now you have large cot
ton with squares for the weevils to
stay in. When calcium arsenate is
applied with a sack or bucket it
goes out in patches on the loaves,
and when the dew forms you have
some places where there is no poison
and others where the poison is so
thick it forms a kind of dough that
the weevils do not drink. Remember
he likes pure water better than any
thing and the object is to get the
poison in the water he drinks.

County Agent.

LAWMAKERS MAY
VOTE BY MACHINERY
/ ,
Atlanta, Ga., July 21/ The Geor
gia legislature, like the law-making
body of Virginia, will be enabled to
record votes and roll calls almost in
stantly, instead of the usual delays
incident to this procedure, in the
event it installs an automatic appar
atus which is now being (demon
strated at the state capitoL
The latest device, which.is aow be
ing introduced by Alex Willingham, a
former Georgia newspaper man, now
of Washington, D. C., is the Thomp
son parliamentary voting system, a
patented machine which has been de
signed to eliminate the human factor
in the preparation of the official
record. The raembei registers his
vote by pressing a button at his desk
nnd an automatic device located at
the clerk’s desk perforates a printed
card showing tew the member has
I voted. The rotes are tabulated,
I counted and totals printed on the
j record card. Absent and paired
! members are automatically counted
I and recorded.
The underlying feature of the sys-
I tem, as pointed unt by Mr. Willing
ham, is collective voting. The very
fact that ali members may vote sim
ultaneously enables the assembly to
conserve the vast amount of valuable
I time now consumed in consecutive
roll call, Mr. Willingham says, and
at the same time allows the individ
ual membe r more time to registe*- his
vote than under present practice.
Members do not have to be constant
ly on the alert to avoid missing their
names or answering, out of turn, to
some similarly sounding name, which
frequently occurs.
Visual iadirators.
Another feature of the system is
the indicator boards. These boards
consist of two large ornamental
panels, usually placed on either side
of the speaker’s rostrum. The name
of all members appear in alphabeti
cal order on each board in letters
large enough to be plainly read from
any part of the chamber. When a
member presses the voting button at
his seat a colored light appears op
posite his name showing how he has
voted.
Mr. Wllingham expressed the opin
ion that it was a question of a few
years before congress and all state
legislative bodies will vote by ma
chinery. The apparatus, which he is
introducing, is covered by United
States and foreign patents, granted
and pending. Th* system may either
be leased or purchased outright by
legislatures, Mr. Willingham stated.

SOLDIER CONFESSES
TO BANK ROBBERY
San Antonio, Texas, July 19.—Tom
James, alias Luther Willis, a soldier
arrested here by millitary police on
an indictment charging bank robbery
at Suwanee, Ga., January 26, 1921,
has confessed, according to the police.
He said he wanted a speedy trial.
Two companions of James were
caught but he eluded pursuers and
joined the army a year and a half
ago at Fort Worth. The three men
obtained $2,336 from the cashier of
;he Suwanee bank in a daring day
light robbery.
Cashier Was Held Up By Robbers at
Noon.
Details of the robbery and subse
quent developments, as revealed by
records in the office of the Pinkerton
National Detective Agency are as
lollows:
At 3:30 p. m. on Wednesday, Janu
ary 26, 1921, F. F. Dowis, cashier of
the Bank of Suwanee, was at work
in his cage waiting on one of the
bank’s regular customers when three
strange men entered and asked for
a blank note. Given the note they
withdrew to a desk and apparently
were engaged filling it out. When
the regular customer departed,
Cashier Dowis turned his back to at
tend to other duties, but turned
around when told to throw up his
hands. Two of the strangers cov
ered him with pistols while the third
man entered the cage and bound him
with a piece of electric wire. Cash
ier Dowis was then forced to kneel,
so as to be out of sight of persons
passing on the sidewalk, while the
three bandits entered the vault. They
then rifled the cash drawer, securing
in all $3,503.10. The three men left
the scene in an automobile.
Cashier Dowis escaped from his
bonds in a few seconds, and rushing
into the street gave the alarm. A
posse was formed quickly, and start
ed on the trail of the bandit’s auto
mobile. At 11 o’clock that night, the
automobile, abandoned in a ditch,
was found by the posse. In a pocket
of the automobile the posse found
$1,816.50 of the loot.
The automobile was identified as
the property of Stephen James, a
resident of Suwanee, and the follow
ing day James and Carroll Williams,
aged thirty-five were taken in cus
tody. Williams was identified by
Cashier Dowis as one of the bandits.
The cashier, however, declared he die
not recognize James.
James denied any knowledge of the
robbery, but did asteit ownership of
the automobile. He said he had last
seen it being driven away by his
brother, Tom James.
Shortly afterwards President Pa
tillo, of the Rank of Suwanee, swore
out warrants for Stephen James,
Carroll Williams, Tom James and
Mark Hapood.
Hagood, who said he Was sixteen
years old, surrendered in Indianap
olis about a month after the robbery.
In an alleged confession he admitted
his guilt and named Tom James and
Williams as accomplices.
Tma James has been missing since
and according to information secured
at iSuwanee has not been seen in the
:ommunity since the robbery.
METHODIST CHURCH.
Sunday, July 27.
16:30: Sunday School.
11:30: Morning worship. Sermon
by the pastor.
7:45: The Epworth League.
There will be no evening service at
the Methodist church Sunday evening
owing to the revival in progress at
the First Baptist church. The Wed
nesday evening prayer services have
also been called off during the period
of the revival meeting. We are
trusting that the great gospel
preaching by Brother Hinesley and
the effective singing led by Brother
Mullins, and the earnest work of
Brother Smith will result in great
good to our whole community.
PROTRACTED SERVICES AT
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Protracted services started at the
First Baptist church Sunday, and will
continue for ten days or two weeks.
Mr. R. C. Mullins, a sweet gospel
singer, is leading the music. He can
not only sing himself, but knows how
to get others to do the same thing.
Rev. W. F. Hinesley, of Rome, Ga.,
an evangelist of note, reached Law
renoeville Monday afternoon, and is
doing the preaching. He is deliver
ing some telling messages and they
are bound to do good.
Pastor L. E. Smith is very active
and the meeting starts off with great
promise of a spiritual uplift.
MR. J. A. HARBIN.
Mr. J. A. Harbin, forty-five year’s
of age, died at the home of his
brother-in-law, Dave Butler, Satur
day and his remains were interred at
Jlaynes Creek Monday.
Mr. Harbin came from Savannah
and had been working at Buford. He
leaves a wife and two children.
ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY
COTTON REPORT
FOR GEORGIA
76 PER CENT
Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1924.
Very l.rtle change in che condition
of Georgia’s cotton crop during the
period from June 25th to July 16tb
was indicated by the correspondents
of the Georgia Cooperative Crop
Reporting Service in a report re
leased today by that agency. The
condition of 76% of normal indi
cates a yield of about 136 pounds
and a total production of a little
over one million bales, judging from
the relation of conditon •on June
25th and July 25th to final yields
in former years. However, the fin
al outturn of the crop may be larg
er or smaller, a sdevelopments dur
ing the remainder of the season
prove more or less favorable to the
crop than usual.
With the exception of northwest
ern Georgia, rains were too
during the period for ahy marked
improvement in condition. However,
cotton held its own in most 1 sections
and prospects are still good. The
plant has made remarkable growth,
and the color is good, with very lit
tle shedding reported. The plant has
fruited heavily in southern Geor
gia and fruiting is fairly satisfac
tory in the northern part of the
state, although too frequent show
ers in many localties have caused
an excessive, sappy growth of weed
at the expense of fruiting-
While weevils are being found in
practically all sections, infestation
is not yet considered serious in the
northern half of the state. In south
ern Georgia they were becoming
more numerous, although blooming
was still general, with fair crop suf
ficiently advanced to escape serious
weevil damage. Weevil damage to>
report date (July 16th) had not
been very great, and the number of
weevils present was very much less,
than usual.
General Crop Note*. '**
Corn has made excellent progress
during the past two weeks through
out most of the state. Grassy fields
are in evidence in northern Georgia
where frequent showers have delay
ed cultivation, although the cropi i®
growing fast and is of good <iokxr. .
South Georgia corn is looking l good
and is sufficiently advanced tt> in
sure a splendid crop.
Peanuts have made satisfactory
progress in the old commercial :area
of southern Georgia.. Fields in the
Piedmont area are tether, grassy and.
in need of cultivation- "■"»
Hay crops are late but making
good growth, with some cowpeas
still being planted. ’ •-
Splendid tobacco yield is being
realized. Too frequent rains at the -
time the crop was ripening caused
a second growth in some sections, •
thereby lowerng the quality.
Te pecan nut case-bearer is re-'
ported as prevalent and doing much 1
damage in the J Albany pectei' dfo
trict, reducing the prospects for a
good crop considerably. -W)
