Allfle American Plotters Are Workinj
1 1 Connection With Radicals
In Europe
Plots against the lives of more that
a score of federal and state officials
Jhave baeu discovered by the depart
lneut of justice as part of radical Alaj
day demonstrations. Attorney Genera
Palmer announces.
The assassinations and assaults. Mr
Palmer says, are included in the May
day program organized by the Com
piunist party and other radical ele
meats, and are in addition to strikes*
and other disturbances intended b)
the radicals as an effort in behalf oi
peace with Soviet Russia.
State ofifcials marked as “victims’
have been notified by the department
the attorney general adds, of the in
formation in the hands of the federal
government and their co-operation re
quested in repressing radical demon
strations
The department has information, ac
icording to the attorney general, tlia
the instigators of the May day demon
strati(,us here have been working “in
direct connection and unison” with
108(161* of disturbances set for Ett
rope. As in Europe, attempts are be
ling made to incite strikers in ull ba
sic American industries, Mr. Palme
\ says, although lie does not believe they
will be successful.
Mr. Palmer says thqt while he can
not disclose the nature of the Com
, Party’s plans in connectioi
mitl1 further strikes, leaders of that
/organization have concentrated on sev
*ral important industries, and that th«
demonstrations planned threaten tc
kause trouble in Ihe way of walkouts.
Tons of inflammatory literature have
•been circulated in the last month by

tributed by local leaders, according

PRODUCE FIRM WRITES
OF IRISH GREY MELONS
Writing to the Southern Brokerage
Company here, C. C. Winkler Com¬
pany, of Vincennes, Indiana, has the
following to say of the Irish Grey
Watermelon •
“As to the lirsh Grey Melon. We
believe this is a good melon and that
this season will see it very popular,
There is one trouble. The growers do
not seem to want to leave them on
the vines long enough so they will get
ripe. Last year we had car after car
of green stock. This will not do and
the growers will kill the melon if
they do not let them get ripe before
they pull them. When the car arrived
on a new market in green condition,
of course that killed the demand for
them, but after that same market
got a car of good ones, they realized were
very fond of them and then
their good merits.
You should talk to the farmers and
tell them, by all means, not to load
Irish Grey Melons until they are ab
solutely sure that they are good and
ripe,”

LEADER-TRIBUNE AIRPLANE
DELIVERY IS SUCCESSFUL
The “bombing of Fort Valley,
Powersville, Byron, Centerville,
Wellston and Lakeview Tuesday noon
with 500 extra copies of The Leader
Tribune of that date containing a
half-page advertisement (all the
space we could spare the New Coun¬
ty Publicity Committee in that bearing issue)
and several live news items
on tile new county movement, was
out with complete success,
Messrs. Meyers and Ellis hopped
off shortly before noon, as adver
tised, dropped two packages of Lead
er-Tribunes over the business section
of Fort Valley to illustrate how is
was to be done in tne other commu
nities, and then struck a bee-line for
Powersville.
They reached Centerville during
the school recess ana reported that
as they left that community they
saw the children chasing Leader
Tribunes in every direction. The pa
pers were red outline over-printed at the top in
large letters, “Delivered
b y Airplane. Take it home and read
the news and advertisement of the
New County movement. Subscribe
and keep up with the live news of the
New County section.”
After leaving Centerville the avia
tors lost their bearings for awhile
and reached the G. S. and F. Rail¬
road at Elberta, several miles north
of Wellston, but by following the
railroad south and circling low so as
to read the name on the railroad sta
tion they soon found Wellston and
dropped three or four packages of
papers there. They returned via
Lakeview and dropped several pack
ages of New County bombs near the
school house.
The trip took just one hour.
Reports received indicate that con
siderable interest was created and
favorable comment made on the en
terprise manifested by The Leader
Tribune and the New County Public
ity Committee,
Thoughtful Printer.
The bishop remarked that somebody
tad a blank, expressionless face and “

j , quota for Georgia
was
! ^ t,r the five years, or $1,500,000 for
year. Georgia's first year's
| amount to $1.550 180.64. This is
band. There will he a decided
crease over this amount next venr,
all money not included in this
will be credited on the second
gifts. IVjauy ch'urch treasurers did
get the money to the state office in
time for credit on the first year.
Dr. Arch C. Free, executive secre
tary of the Georgia Baptist
is delighted with the showing of
first year In commenting on the
sults as revealed in actual funds
hand. Dr. Cree had the following
say:
“We are grateful that God has led
us to this victory. Georgia Baptists
are not willing to stop witli their quo¬
ta. and I am confident that the show¬
ing of this fii-wt year confirms the feel¬
ing of our brethren that when th*
five ytar period is ended we will have
8 ive n in actual cash more than ten
millions uf dollars. I am deeply grate¬
ful lo the pastors and church leaders,
and, most of all, the individual Bap¬
tists who have made possible this great
victory for our God.”
FIRST YEAR WAS SHORT
It is a significant fact that the first
year of the Seventy-five Million Cam
paign period ie not a whole year. As
a matter of fact all money contributed
since May 1. 1919, counted, but it wtll
he recalled that the campaign did not
get under way until September of Iasi
year, and it was not until December t
that the pledges were made The
campaign period, therefore, has not
covered the year iu point . . of . develop- .
nient and intensity, This fact makes
the leaders in Georgia and throughout
tbe South doubly grateful. It
that the Baptists of this State and
er Stales are going to do a marvelous-
1 y fine thing by the end of the cam
paign period of five years.
With the fine spirit which has
mealed the deamination as a
of the launching of the campaign and
with the definite assurance that there
will not be any reaction in any sense
following the unprecedented move
nient. Georgia Baptists have before
them a great day of achievement
bringing to pass the Kingdom of God
on this earth.
The impetus of this first year of
victory will be multiplied by the plans
now in operation by the denomination,
and it is everywhere felt that the first
year is hut the beginning of the great
work of Baptists of Georgia and
throughout the South. i I
SOME CHALLENGING FIGURES !
It will be of interest to tbe public to
know that during the month of April
Dr. Cree’s office received $711,621.83.
This )s within a fraction of as much
money as Georgia Baptists gave dur
ing tbe entire year of 1918-19. More
money was received at the office on
Monday. May 3. than during the en¬
tire year of 1915. These figures alone
indicate the tremendous swing of the
movement among the Baptists of this
State.
The Baptist women of Georgia were
asked to raise $300,000 In this first
year of the five year program, The
actual figures in Hie office show that
they have given in cash $365,905.21. :

ttllMtHI Finns STUI
Government Feels Confident It Can
Break The Backbone Of
The Strike
Paris.—The strike of the railroad
meu for nationalization of the rail¬
ways, which is to be joined by the
tniner« and dockmen, has resulted thus
far in hindering traffic on four of
the big five systems. Temporarily,
however, the state line, which runs
to Havre, is tied up.
Services on all lines are curtailed.
The Parisian forces are operating
about 50 per cent except the Lazarre
state system, which canceled all trains
from the capital.
The government’s determination to
fight the strike for nationalization
nsa been voiced by Minister of Public
Works LeTrocquer and Premier Miller
aud. M, Millerand said the govern¬
ment was prepared to do its duty in
he maintenance of order and to pro¬
tect the men who remained at work.
M. LeTrocquer expressed confidence
in the outcome of the situation. He ex¬
plained that he had foreseen the con¬
flict, and that as a result the railways,
public services and industries had been
provided with the greatest supplies of
:‘oal that they had had at any time
since the signing of the armistice.
In carrying out its policy to break
he slrike, the government again lias
issued a decree io requisition motor
rucks and other transportation equip¬
ment in certain regions.
Toe response of the miners to the
strike order is awaited with interest,
specially as they have been granted
their recent demands. The secretary
if the miners’ union in the Loire de¬
partment has asked the men not to
obey the strike order.
Technical students and volunteers
who were organized by the government
during the strike last February already
ire replacing many of the railroad men
who have ceased work.
Official figures issued give the cas¬
ualties resulting from the disorders as
three dead and 102 wounded, of whom
bx remain in hospitals, two of them
n a dangerous condition. The arrests
aggregated 103. The foreigners among
those arrested are to re deported.

was loyal to principle and courage¬

union of beauty with strength. He
walked with Qod and his death coni

to cast a blight upon tne springtime
As he practiced the golden n , le of
