Brief News Items Gathered Here and
There From All Sections
Of The 8tatc
Atlanta.—John A. Manget, state fair
price commissioner, announces that he
will attempt to bring about the pass
age of a bill by the coming legislature
similar to chapter 136 of the acts of
the legislature of the state of New
York, which was aprpoved April 1,
1920, and which is designed to curb
agreements that are "unjust, unrea
sonable and oppressive for the pay
ment of rent exacted by landlords
from tenants under the stress of pre
vailing conditions, whereby the free
dom of contract has been impared,
and congested, housing conditions re
sulting therefrom .have seriously af
fected and endangdFed the public wel
fare, health and morale in certain
cities.
The act permits a tenant who is be
ing sued by his landlord for rent to
set up as a defense that the agree
ment under which the rent is sought
to be recovered is oppressive.
It provides that whenever the rent
demanded can be proved to he an in
crease of more than 25 per cent of
the rent for the same property for the
previous year it shall be presumed to
be oppressive. This section does not
limit the increase that a landlord may
make to 25 per cent, but merely
throws upon the landlord the burden
of proving that such increase is rea
sonable, a thing, according to Mr. Man
get, which very few landlords can do.
Nothing in the act prevents the land
lord from rcovering a “fair and rea
sonable rent” for his premises, but the
act, leaves the fairness of the amount
of the rent demand to the judgment of
of the court. It does not allow the
court to make a new agreement for
the parties, but merely allows it to
pass upon the justice of the old one.
The bill proposed by Mr. Manget is
based upon the broad principle of the
police power of the state. In addi
tion to the bill itself, the fair price
commissioner bos published an ex
planation of the technical language,
showing the inherent right of the state
to interfere with the right of private
property where such action is demand
ed by the safety, health and morals of
the people. Such right, according to
the commissioner, has been extended
in recent years, rather than contract
ed, and includes the right of the leg
islature to regulate the use of build
ings by private interests.
Waycross Man Designs Railway Car
WaycroBs.—J. A .Whiting, superin
tendent of the Waycross and Western
railway, has designed a combnation
railway car which supplants the light
type of passengers and mail service
car, and which will be valuable on
short lines. It is somewhat like a
street car in appearance, is of 125
horsepower, and will accommodate fif
ty-five passengers, being divided in
to two sections, one for colored pas
sengers and the other for white peo
ple. The car is sixty feet in length,
outside, and is equipped with air
brakes, electric lights, all safety ap
pliances and other modern equipment,
it will make a speed of forty-five miles
per hour, pulling three standard box
cars. It is a combination of locomo
tive, passenger and baggage car, driv
en by two powerful engines similar
to those used in high Dowered automo
biles. A patent has been secured and
three cars have already been sold to
railroad companies.
Flint River Bridge Well Under Way
Americus. — Americus business
men interested in the construction of
the new Americus-Ellaville-Butler
highway have received information
that work is well under way on the
construction of the bridge over Flint
river at the Taylor-Upson county line.
This bridge, which is being built with
federal aid, is the only gap still open
in the highway, and with its comple
tion the new route to Atlanta will be
open to traffic the year round. It is
about one hour shorter than the pres
ent route by way of Macon, and the
road for the entire distance is already
in good shape. It is anticipated here
that the bridge will be completed and
open for travel about September 16.
Packing Plant Not Forced To Close
Macon.—There is no danger of the
Macon packing plant being forced to
close down this summer, it is stated
!y officials of the company. A re
port from Tifton that the Armour
packing plant in that city has sus
pended operatiops because of its in
ability to get live stock, especially
ho... caused some uneasiness here.
Hospital Bond Issue Loses
Brunswick.—The election held for a
bond issue of $50,000, with which to
add an addtiion to the city hospital
and purchase new equipment, was lost,
falling nineteen votes short of ^he
necessary majority. The defeat of the
issue was due more to the laqk of
Interest on the part of the voters than
the opposition to the issue. A total
of only 417 votes was polled 366 of
them being in favor of bonds and fifty-
one* against. The required number of
votes to curry the election was 385.
Vehicle Law Held Invalid
Atlanta.—-Judge John T. Pendleton
of Fulton superior court holds that
the Georgia motor vehicle law is un
constitutional by reason pf the fact
that it was passed without a roll call
in the house or the senate. The con
stitution of Georgia requires that all
'bills In the nature of appropriations
shall be passed by a roll call vote.
The motor vehicle law imposes a li
cense upon motor vehicles and appro
priates the receipts to the etate high
way department: To this extent,
therefbre, it was an apropriation bill.
Judge Pendleton's decision was ren
dered in the test case brought by Gov
ernor Dorsey to determine the consti
tutionality of the law. Attorney Gen
eral Denny recently held that the law
is unconstitutional for the ’ reason
above stated. In order to settle the
question, Governor Dorsey drew his
warrant upon the state highway fund
for $30,000 to cover a voucher from
the highway department Acting up
on the attorney general’s ruling Comp
troller General Wright declined to ap
prove the warrant. Governpr Dorsey
then petitioned the Fulton 1 superior
court for the issuance of a mandamus
requiring the comptroller to show
cause why he should not be ordered
to approve the warrant. This peti
tion was argued before Judge Pendle
ton and his decision followed. Judge
H. J. Quincey, attorney to the high
way board, who represented Governor
Dorsey in the proceedings, will im
mediately appeal the case to the su
preme court on a fast bill of excep-'
tions to get a final decision at the
earliest possible date. Comptroller
General Wright is represented in the
proceedings by Attorney General
Denny.
$10,000 Asked By Pecan Growers
Atlanta.—AT request for an appro-
priaton of $10,000 in the interest of the
pecan industry to be used for experi

Griffin has been made to the state
budget and efficiency committee by
a committee of pecan growers, includ
ing J. M. Patterson of Putney; E. R.
Waddington of Kinderlou and H. P.
Stuckey of the experiment station.
Emmett Houser of Fort Valley, E. P.
Hobbs of Marietta, J. J. Flynt of Grif
fin and H. H. Tift of Tifton appear
ed on behalf of the twelve district ag-
rictultural schools, and requested an
increase in the annual appropriation
from $15,000 to $25,000 for each one.
Mr. Stuckey also asked for an in
crease from $8,000 to $20,000 a pear
for the experiment station, in addition
to the sum requested
Many Violations Of Law Charged
Atlanta.—That information will be
laid before the federal labor board
and the goyernraent clearly showing
numerous violations of law subsequent
to March 1, 1920, is the substance of
a statement given out Wednesday by

the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks,
who is now in Atlanta with other of
ficials of the clerks’ organization, in
cluding Charles M. Owens, secretary
and treasurer; J. B. Hogsed and F. C.
Smith, vice grand presidents, and oth
er officials of the brotherhood. While
Mr. Fitzgerald’s statement charges
numerous violations of the railroad
law during the past three months, it
does not specify against whom the
charges will be made, n9r does it
say by what person, organization or
railroad such violations were com
mitted.
Negress Sacrifices Sister's ChSd
Macon.—Tired of caring for a three-
year-old negro baby boy who had been
left in her charge, Minnie Lee Pra
ter, a 35-year-old negress, threw the

Jones Resigns As Postmaster
Atlanta.—Bolling H. Jones, Atlanta
postmaster for more than seven years,
has tendered his resignation, effective

leson at Washington. In his letter

Atlanta Is To Fight Injunction Order
Atlanta. — Although a restraining
order was issued by Judge Humphries
stopping the proposed widening of
Spring street at the corner of Parker,

Black-Draught ns helpful as Mr.
Trenor describes, and a valuable rem
edy for derangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels. It Is purely
vegetable, having an active effect upon
the bowels, gently stimulating the liv
er, and helping to Increase the flow
of bile.
Black-Draught has been found to

Quantity of Yew Wood, to Be Used
for “That Purpose, Recently Sold
by the Government For
est Service.
It Is a far cry from long range ri
fles and high-powered explosives to
the bow and arrow of the American
Indian. Nevertheless, bows and ar
rows are still used by the small boy,
albeit not without sorrow to the neigh
bor’s chickens. There is also a de
mand for stronger and more expensive
bows for archers of mature years.
Doubtless these facts account for a
recent sale, on the Snoqualmie na
tional forest in Washington, of a
quantity of yew, to be used in disk
ing bows. Although the forest serv
ice of the United States department
of agriculture sells a variety of for
est products for unusual uses, this Is
probably the first case in which the
final product is to be one of the old
est and most common weapons known
to .the world.
The yew has long been known as
the best of all bow woods. Famous
English archers would hnve no other.
Richard III. ordered bowyers to make
four bows of witch hazel, ash, or elm
to every orjp of yew. in order that the
supply of this valued wood might be
preserved. This la said to be one of
the earliest forest regulations in Eng
land. The staves from which bows
were made in those early days were
seasoned for three years 'before being
made into bows and the bows were not
used for two years after being com
pleted.
The American yew is botanically
very similar to the European yew.
One of the three* species found in the
United States grows only In Florida
and is a small tree. Another 'is a
shrub growing in the north Atlantic
region, while the thirtl occurs In the
forests of the Pacific coast. It Is the
latter that grows In the Snoqualmie
national forest. When mature It usu
ally is from 20 to 30 feet high and
from 0 to 12 inches in diameter.
On account of its elasticity and
strength the Indians of the Northwest
utilized the wood of the yew for their
bows and often for canoe paddles.
Yew wood is also well adapted to
carving and numerous attractive ar
ticles can be made from it. Not only
does the grain of the wood make it
possible to carve attractive designs,
but the combination of red bark, white
snpwood, and rose-red henrtwood make
especially pleasing effects possible.
Night Doctors.
“Paris has organized a service of
night doctors,” writes a correspond
ent from the French capital. “It Is
rather remarkable,” continues the cor
respondent, that we have not had this
before. “You fall 111 In the night, or
your relation falls ill. You Immedi

He comes. He Is a tired man. His
eyes are heavy with sleep. Aside, he
tells'y.ill lie has had little rest for a
week. If your own medical adviser
had come It would have been the same.
What a travesty of system to work
men night and day! Manifestly there
ought to be a panel of doctors—fresh,
vigorous, and ready for a busy night’s
work—who have not been at work
during the day. In Paris, the night
doctor will be installed at the police
station and he will be ready, of course,
to go wherever he is called.”
Catching the “Bad Boy."
It seems to many that the nation

conducted along more Intelligent lines.
The searchers, It seems, start out Ir
responsibly, frankly and specifically
demanding the worst boy. They’ll
never find him In such a simple man
ner, for the boy they’re seeking is
bad. and that means he’s clever. He
probnbly does not attend Sunday
school the year ’round, but very likely
he gets In on all the Christmas trees.
Why not, t,hen. catch him with a
Christmas tree? Pass the word out
that next Christmas there will be a
tree with presents for good little boys;
no bad little boy will be allowed a
look-in; bad title boys are not wanted,
and are defied to get in by any hook
or crook. Then, after the excercises
are under way, the searchers may look
over their audieuce, and pick out their
worst boy. He rfiay be hard to pick
