GEORGIA’S LEADING WEEKLY
VOLUME 53.
NOTICE TO THE
VETERANS OF
THE WORLD WAR
The following statement in refer
ence to the soldier’s bonus is issued
by Senator Walter F. George:
While service men have until Jan
uary Ist, 1924 to apply for adjusted
compensation under the Act of Con
gress which became a law on May
19th, 1924, yet it is most important
that applications be made at once.
In case of death before making
application only the amount of the
adjusted service credit will be pay
able to the veteran’s dependant in
stead of the face value of the cer
tificate. The adjusted service credit
is in no case more than one third of
the face value of the certificate.
Therefore, in event of death before
making application, the veteran’s de
pendent will get only about one
third of what the dependent would
have received if the application had
been made by the veteran.
Dependents of deceased veterans
are entitled to make applications,
but they will receive only the vet
eran’s actual service credit.
If the veteran is dead his \vidow
should apply. If widow is dead his
children, if no children, his mother
and if mother is dead the father is
next in line for compensation.
Blanks may be obatined from post
offices.
Blanks for these applications, with
aid in filling them out, may be se
cured in Lawrenceville from R. H.
Young, at irst National Bank; H. G.
Robinson, at City Hall, or at the
clerk’s office superior court. Aid in
finger prints can be had at either
newspaper office.
SOUTHERN TRAIN RUNS 3
MILES WITHOUT ENGINEER
Macon, Ga.—A Southern railway
freight train ran for three miles
Sunday night on the main line be
tween Macon and Atlanta without
an engineer at the throttle.
When the fireman, Gib Adams,
negro, discovered that the engineer
was not blowing for crossings, he in
vestigated and found the engineer’s
seat vacant.
The fireman brought the train to
a stop. The crew went back along
the railroad track three miles and
found the lifeless body of the engi
neer, Guy N. Hancock, of Atlanta,
on the ground. The only injury no
ticeable was a broken leg, and it is
believed that he died of heart fail
ure and fell out of the cab while the
train was running 30 miles an hour.
Hancock was the oldest freight
engineer on the Macon-Atlanta di
vision of the Southern railway.
CENTRAL BAPTIST
MEMBERS SPLIT
Atlanta, Ga.—More than 200
members of the Central Baptist
church, who withdrew their mem
bership, following resignation of
Rev. W. L. Hambrick, pastor, be
cause of internal friction, met Sun
day in an improvised auditorium at
the Central Curb market and held
three services during the day, which
included Sunday school and two
preachnig hours.
Rev. H. W. Morris, Baptist evan
gelist, of Atlanta, filled the pulpit
and seven teachers who formerly
were affiliated with the old church,
brought their Sunday school classes,
en masse to the auditorium.
ormer deacons who are heading
the movement in behalf of Jdr. Ham
brick declared that on his return to
Atlanta, which is expected within
the week, a new church will be or
ganized. They predicted that more
than two-thirds of the merbers will
follow the former pastor.
A. S. Todd, senior deacon of Cen
tral church, Sunday night declared
to a reporter that “Hambrick never
resigned, he was fired.”
Members of the new movement
denied Mr. Hambrick was forced to
quit, and declared that Mr. Todd
was antagonistic to their plans be
cause the Hambrick supporters are
demanding return to them of about
$2,000 paid into the church treas
ury.
The Central church has called
Rev. Luke Rader, of Chicago, to
succeed Mr. Hambrick.
SCHOOL TRUSTEES’ ELECTION.
The County Board of Education
in a recent meeting ordered the an

be held Saturday aftefnoop of Au
gust 30 from 1 to 4 o’clock.

The News-Herald
EVEN WANT TO STOP
NEWSIES ON STREETS
Atlanta, Ga., August 25.—A Chi
cago organization, noting editorials
in Georgia newspapers opposing the
federal child labor amendment to the
constitution—which amendment the
recent Georgia legislature rejected—
has addressed circulars to this sec
tion criticizing the Georgia attitude.
Nearly one-half of the space in
that circular is taken up with the
“injustice - ’ done young boys by news
papers in allowing them to sell
papers on the street.
The public is crticized because it
“sentimentally” patronizes the news
boy in preference to cripples and
abults, the Chicago organization con
tending that it is “the appeal of
childhood that is actually offered for
sale.”
This illustration is used: At 11
o’clock one night in Chicago a ragged
boy of thirteen was found selling pa
pers in front of a theater. The boy
sold to the homegoing crowd as fast
as he could handle papers and make
change. At the corner the stand mar.
who employed him sold an occasional
paper. The man was frank. The
boy’s family needed the money anc’
people bought more papers from a
“kid” than from a r man. The older
boys know tjiis very well and fre
quently twelve and thirteen-year-olci
boys have been found trailing in the
wake of a little The big boy
carries the bulk of papers and the
little fellow, half a block away, with
a few papers under his arm, does the
actual seling. Men approve of small
boys earning money—the smaller the
boy the easier it is to give him trade,
or a tip.
Grotesque and Ridiculous.
Georgians, it was pointed out here
today by a member of the recent
legislature, doubtless will confess
their own “misunderstanding” about
the “limiting, regulating or prohibit
ing of employment of minors up to
eighteen years,” if this asinine, sissy
fied assertion is intended to set them
straight. This lawmaker said he had
imagined that when child labor legis
lation came down to specific matters,
the long-haired reformers would pro
pose some grotesque and ridiculous
regulations. But never did it occur
to him that such absolutely absurd
ideas lodged in the craniums of the
old fogeys who imagined that the
millenium can be obtained through an
amendment to the federal constitu
tion, fi ,
Why do “men approve .of smdll
boys earning money?" Why do they
patronize the small boy in preference
to others ? Because—and Former U.
S. Senator Hoke Smith had some
ideas along that line when he asked
the Georgia legislature to reject the
amendment—they like to see a red
blooded. youngster who has the stuff
in him get up early in the . morning
or stay up late at night, get along.
They like to help him because he has
the fibre of manhood.
How many thousands of successful
Georgians and Americans begin bi
ographies with the statement that
they were newsboys in their youth.
Maybe Chicago, according to local
newspaper men, is worse than any
where alse, but in the small southern
cities it is a mark of respect for the
boy who carries the papers. If he
succumbs to temptation—and he will
not find more on the street than at
the old swimmin’ hole—he somehow
outlives it. No boy is all that he
ought to be, and to say that selling
papers is an exceptionally bad influ
ence is to slander the intelligence of
the American public, editors here
assert.
Nobody of sound intelligence con
dones child labor , that injures the
body or the soul of children, accord
ing to manufacturers and business
men. But they submit that the pro
posed child labor amendment, as did
Senator Hoke Smith who analyzed its
provisions, is not only an attempt at
federal interference in state rights
but is the height of foolishness and
no better proof is shown that tht ar
guments of the association most ac
tive in its behalf.

Don’t Take the Risk.
Driving your car you see a train
coming. It’s a passenger, train,, but
you are sure you can beat it across
the tracks. So you take the chance.
Likely as not, you cross safely and
are quite <a distance away when the
train thunders, past.
• But-“-thousands are killed each
year at railroad grade crossings,
afoot or in autos. Every one of them
was sure he could beat the approach-;
ing train, except in cases where they
were careless and didn’t observe the
train coming.
Now—the average fast train passes
the grade crossing in seven seconds.
Are you rially so rushed for time that
you can afford to take a chance on
your life to save seven seconds?
Think it over.

MID-MONTH
COITONSEPORT
FOR GEORGIA
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23.—An “old
time” cotton crop is forecast by the
Georgia Cooperative Oop Service
in its semi-mosthly report released
today. From the present outlook the
crop will be about double tout pro
duced last year. The difficulty ia
1923 was in telling how small the
crop would be, say the statistician*.
This year the difficulty is in telling
how high Georgia figures will run.
A large proportion of the crop k
probably saft- and picking has start
ed in the lower third of the state.
801 l weevils are becoming quite ac
tive in southern Georgia, but* in that
section the crop is too far advanced
for the mto do damage at all com
parable with | that of past , years.
Quite a number of counties failed to
receive rain during the past fort
night and the outlook has been re
duced on this account. This is par
ticularly true of scattered counties
in north Georgia.
Burke, Carroll, Sumter and Lau
rens counties promise to make a
close race for first place. C*rres
pondents in each of these
have fixed their idea of .the crop
around 25,000 bales. Until a week
ago the race seemed to he between
Sumter and Burke. Now thp odds
seem to l'avor Carroll. In the nest
group are, Madison, Franklin, Haft,
Dodge, Terrell and Emanuel, which
are expecting to make from 15,000
to 20,000 bales.
One of the most remarkable fea
tures of the report is that a great
many counties ni south Georgia ex
pect to make from two to five times
as much cotton as they did last
season. This is the area where the
crop was almost a failure last, year.
In north Central Georgia a eiipilw
situation is indicated in counties
such as Hancock, Morgan, Greene,
etc. Here the weevil practically put
cotton growers out of business sev
eral years ago. The outloek is tor
four or five times as much cotton
has been produced in those sMtsttou*
in the iast year or two.
The forecast is based on a condi
tion of 70% and an radicated yield
of about 160 pounds of lint, cotton
per acre. It will vary fropi that
amount as conditions are bettor or
worse than average after that
