DISABLED SOLDIERS
VIBTUALLYASSURED
ES POME
Disabled ex-service men taking vo
cational training in Atlanta are vir
tually assured of S2O a month in
crease in their pay from the govern
ment, retroactive from July 1.
This was announced Tuesday by
Senator Hoke Smith to the students
>f the Atlanta Business college,
vhere about forty of the men who
vvill get the increase are enrolled.
Senator Smith addressed the stu
dents at the request of B. Dixon
Hall, president of the college, who
asked him several months ago to ap
pear before them as soon as he re
ceived definite announcement from
the vocational training board regard
ing the increase. Senator Smith got
a letter from the board Tuesday
morning, and communicated its con
tents to the students at noon.
His announcemen was greeted with
•applause by the disabled soldiers. It
was good news to them, as it will
be to hundreds of others taking voca
tional training in various Atlanta in
stitutions.
Senator Smith, introduced by Presi
dent Hall as the “educational sena
tor” because of his work for the
cause of education, told his audience
he was there "only for the purpose
of speaking a word of encouragement
to the boys injured in service.”
“We are going to do more for you
than we have been doing.” he said.
He then recited briefly the legisla
tion'that had been enacted affecting
them. He said that in the summer
ot 1917 he and some of his colleagues
began a study of similar laws in
France, England and Canada, with a
view to getting laws in America that
would give the disabled service man
a chance to become self-sustaining.
Smith Bill Passed
“We felt that mere compensation
isn't in the same class with com
pensation that will also give a man
the chance to take care of himself,
he said. “The bill we finally drew
I Introduced in the senate and after
two days of struggle, it was passed
almost" unanimously. The only
question at issue was—should a dis
abled man be kept in the military
service or not? That was the plan
in England, and it was a failure. We
felt it was best to take him in civil
life, after he had .left the army,
and put nim into existing institu
tions instead of Creating separate
military schools. We won the fight,
ive beat the senators who stood for
•he militnw idea.
"However,an amendment was
tacked onto my bill limiting the
amount of compensation given a
man taking vocational trainingK to
the amount it costs him to live
where he is studying I didn’t like
the amendment. I don’t think the
appropriation is sufficient if it
makes a man do any outside work
at all. He is entitled to the right
to give all his time to his studies
That was why I introduced a pro
vision to increase the compensation
from SBO to SIOO for single men,,
and from SIOO to $l2O for married
/ men.
"And then they on the
amendment, providing this increase
should be given only to men ‘resid
ing where the cost of living is above
the average and comparaticely high.'
If it‘‘hadn’t been in the closing
hours ot the session, I would have
insisted that that clause be stricken
out. But I was afraid the bill would
■ose out altogether, rfowever, when
•ve meet again in December., I am
roing to insist, that the clause be
•truck out. Men ought to get that
ncrease outright, wherever they are
tving.
"But with the amendment there
I asked the board to regard it as
lightly as possible and to give the
* increase wherever they could. This
morning I got a letter from the
board, ad visa ng me definitely whai
policy3K®. be.’”
■* - At the cwirhrsion of his talk, the
forty or more disabled men in the
.(. audience went to the front and shook
bands with Senator Smith and thank
ed him for his efforts in their behalf.
The students were also addressed

State of Maine Prospers
As Thirsty Tourists Make
Their Way to Wet Line
{ DRY I WET
MAINE | CANADA
JL | .
r : \ |
THIS IS THE “Line house,” where thirsty “tourists” gather .
nightly. They enter “dry,” cross over to the “wet” side and come
out the “dry” side tanked.
JACKMAN, Me.—Booze is flowing
through Maine like water through a
fire-hose.
And, of course, it’s Canada’s fault
because Canada grew so near to
Maine.
Maine is celebrating its one hun
dredth birthday this year and the
celebration seems likely to continue
for a long time unless the hootch
supply in Canada gives out.
Maine prospers. Tourists are thick
as ants. They’re eating the food
grown on the farms and washing it
down with Canadian hootch supplied
by the natives. What could be more
nearly perfect?
Jackman’s First Stop
I sat on the veranda of Jack
man’s good hotel, “The Moose River
House.” Jackman is on the main
automobile road to Canada and the
main line of the Canadian Pacific,
being the first station this side of
Hootchland. It was Saturday night,
and the hotel was jammed to the
guards. Down the street Jackman
was enjoying itself at the weekly
dance. All was quiet and lovely as
the sun slowly sank behind the ma
jestic pine trees of the Maine woods
“This is a quiet place,” said I.
“Hrn,” said the hotel clerk. "It
ain’t begun yet.” He will never say
anything truer.
For the sun down, a steady stream
of automobiles began to appear. One
after another the headlights flashed
and on and on they came, one whirl
ing after another. From them came
no noise but the whirring of the
motors.
“Must be a meeting some place,”
Atlanta's Public Pools
Are “Abominable Hell
Holes," Dr. Ridley Says
A sermon last Sunday by- Rev.
Caleb A-. Ridley, pastor of the Cen
tral Baptist church, jn which the
city’s puhUc swimming pools were de
nounced as “abominable hell holes at
night,” and "scenes of unspeakable
immoralities,” has brought caustic
counter-charges against the clergy
man and has stirred up a sensational
controversy.
Dr. Ridldy’S statements declaring
that he had personally inspected the
pools and found flagrantly improper
conditions existing while the author
ities “winked at” the things that
would "compromise any young wom
an” who entered the pools after
dark, were flatly denied in a resolu
tion unanimously passed at a meeting
of the city council Monday afternoon.
Dr. Ridley was condemned for his
sermon and for warning parents of
the city to keep the feminine mem
bers of their families away from the
pools, and in one clause of the reso
lution, which wos later •
Ridley was asked to explain the rea
son for his recent resign--*o..
his pastorate.
Dr. Ridley is expected to be called
upon to appear before the park board
I at its regular meeting Wednesday,
I observed.
"Yeh,” said the clerk. "Meeting
at the Line House. The Modern
and Fraternal Order of Hootch
seekers meets there every night.”
“And what’s the Line House?” I
queried.
“The first watering place -on the
border,” said he. “Half of it is built
on the United States side. That
side’s as dry as a desert. The other
half is on the Canadian side and
that side’s as wet as the ocean.”
541 Cars Pass
The procession kept up. One would
have thought that someone had con
ceived the idea of having all the
cars in the world meet at the Line
House. There was every imaginable
make, size, and variety. Counting as
best I could I totalled 541 cars in
three hours. In the meantime, the
dance over, all the male residents ot
Jackman apparently disappeared, fol
lowing much whispering, much talk
ing of Canadian-French and much
cranking of-autos.
And then about midnight the cars
began to whizz past, going the oth
er direction. Only now came from
them the sounds of much merri
ment, much laughter and most or
them were driven recklessly and
with cutouts snorting.
“Well,” said I, I guess 111 go to
be “ What for?” asked the clerk. “You
can’t sleep. No one can here Sat
urday nights. The cars make too
much noise.” .
That was the most truthful clerk
I have ever met.
and to either prove or retract his
charges. „ t ~
The minister, after first accepting
an offer to visit the pools in com
pany with Councilman Charles P.
Bailey, the “fattier <ff Wij^htj swim-,
ming,” later announced that he would
not do so because of Mtf. Bailey’s
“uncouth language” and “uncouth at
titude.” Mr. Bailey . denied in toto
at the council meeting all charges
brought by Dr. Ridley, and had at
tacked the latter’s personal character.
According to' the members of the
park board, the illumination at the
pools makes them lighter than day.
Policemen and policewomen are con
stantly on duty, and eject, any bath
ers whose conduct is unbecoming,
they say.
Dr. Ridley, on the other hand, has
issued a statement subsequent to his
sermon in which he maintains that
he and others are able to prove all
the allegations made and that any
body else can establish the truth of
his assertions.
Capitol Watchman Is
Charged With Being
Friendly to Spooners
Sifted down it would seem to the
moonstruck sweethearts on the capi
tal lawn that R. A. Bailey, the capi
tal watchman, is a man with a heart
and that the Atlanta police art try
ing to be mean to him. On the
other hand, the Atlanta police—or
at least Officers Davis and Hughes
—charge that Bailey has been dou
ble-crossing them in their efforts
to break up the gentle habit of spoon
ing about the capital grounds. The
case is set for a hearing next Fri
day in the recorder’s court.
Bailey was arrested Saturday on
the customary blanket charge of dis
orderly conduct by Officers Davis
and Hughes, the charge being sup
ported bv Miss Mattha Dupree and
Miss Cora Vause, policewomen.
The officers of the city said they
had been looking over the capitol
grounds following complaints by
neighboring residents of too-amatory
goings-on; and that they regardad
the watchman, Mr. Bailey, as a nat
ural friend and allv. They said that
Friday night they were just about
to round up some spooners, and that
Mr. Bailey had gone trotting around
the capitol, ostensibly to head off
the offenders whom Officers Davis
and Hughes were seeking.
Mr. Bailey encountered two femi
nine figures in a deep shadow, and
is said to have warned them to beat
it —the cops were coming—instead of
heading them off. The figures were
those of policewomen, doing a bit
of sleuthing on their own hook; and
they reported that Mr. Bailey seem
ed to be working against the city
police rather than with them.
So Mr. Bailey was arrested and
released with a copy of charges, and
now it is said that the state of Geor
gia may have a word to say in the
case, as to whether the capitol
grounds are In any way under the
jurisdiction of the city police. The
report that R. A. Denney, state attor
ney general, is conducting a plan to
defend Mr. Bailey seems to be un
founded, in view of the fact that Mr.
Denney has for two ■weeks been con
fined at his home in Rome, with an
rttack of bronchitis. .
Hardwick Denounces
Oononents in Sneech
s Before 400 at Forsyth
Ga., Aug. 3.—Thomas
W. Hardwick addressed an audience
of about 400 here Monday. He
was introduced by Ashley M. Out
law. a Watson supporter. Mr. Hard
wick was listened to attentively and
freouently applauded.
The speaker opened his speech by
announcing that he would base his
address upon the principles of De
mocracy and Americanism, and, be
fore concluding, would pay his re
spects to his opponents.
He spoke with great bitterness
concerning Clark Howell and others,
and stated that in time he would see
that they are flattened to such an
extent that even the angel Gabriel
would not be able to resurrect them.
SENATE PASSES
“BLUE SKY” AND
AUTO TAX BILLS
Legislation providing for protec
tion against floods for the city of
West Point is now ready for the gov
ernor’s signature. The senate Tues
day passed three house bills intended
to afford the city of West Point op
portunity to construct levees and
to increase its bonded indebtedness
for this purpose.
The most important of the three
measures is a constitutional amend
ment allowing the city to issue not
more than $750,000 worth of bonds
for levee construction. The state
constitution prohibits municipalities
from issuing bonds in excess of 7
per cent of its property valuation.
This constitutional amendment was
necessary to overcome this obstacle.
There was no opposition to the three
pieces of legislation.
Os particular importance was the
passage of the “blue sky” bill by
Senators Dorris and Kea, which pro
vides drastic regulation for the sale
of securities in Georgia. The bill
is intended to supesede the present
“blue sky” law and provide for the
creation of a securities commission,
which would issue permits for the
sale of all kinds of stocks and se
curities.
Another important measure which
passed the senate Tuesday and will
now go to the governor was the
amendmen tto the general tax act
changing the schedule of occupa
tional taxes for automobile dealers.
Under the present law an automo
bile dealer must pay a license tax for
each make of car he distributes. The
amendment provides that the dealer
shall pay only one tax for all makes
of cars and establishes the follow
ing schedule:
License Schedule
Dealers in cities and towns of less
than 20,000 population will pay a tax
of $27.50 ner year; in cities of from
20,000 to 30,000 population, $55; in
cities of from 30,000 to 50,000 popula
tion, $82.50; in cities of from 50,000
to 75,000 population, $110; in cities
of from 75,000 to 100,000 population,
$165; in cities of 100,000 to 150,000
population, $220; in cities of more
than 150,000 population, $275.
Under the terms of a resolution
passed without opposition the Index
Printing company will be relieved of
a contract with the state to print
the reports of the supreme court and
court of appeals. It is claimed that
this contract, made in 1915, will, if
carried out, cause a loss of several
thousand dollars to the printing com
pany on account of increased cost
of materials and labor.
Among the bills introduced was
a measure by Senators Keene and
eKa instructing the state railroad
commission to furnish railroad passes
to all ordained ministers of the gos
pel, to be used by them in the per
formance of their ministerial duties.
A bill by Senator Allen, of the Thir
ty-fifth, provides for the teaching of
thrift in the public schools of the
Considerable discussion was
aroused during the consideration or
a bill by Senator Duncan providing
for the establishment at Lithia
Springs of the Northwest Georgia
Normal and Industrial college for
young women. The city of Lithia
Springs hay offered to the state
buildings and land valued at 575,000
together with a cash donation of
$15,000. No appropriation is asked.
The bill finally passed by a vote
of 26 to 114 after Senator Dorris,
of the Forthy-Eighth, had made a
strong appeal for the establishment
of the institution.
The last item of business consid
ered by the senate before adjourn
ment was the measure providing
that z all post roads should be con
sidered as public roads and main
tained by the county commissioners
out of the public funds. This is a
house bill, and its consideration in
the senate aroused a very spirited
debate, which was brought to a con
clusion by the passage of the meas
ure just before adjournment.

the senate:
House Bill 888 —To amend the

Walker Speaks to
Large Audience of
Troup County Voters
LAGRANGE, Ga., Aug. 3.—At the
noon recess of court Monday Clif
ford Walker spoke to a packed house
of Troup county voters. He was in
troduced by Judge E. T. Moon. The
keynote of his whole speech was a
warning to the people against Bol
shevism and its results. He very
eloquently offered three antidotes
against the evil: First, information
for the people by giving them better
rural school systems, enabling the
country people to enjoy advantages
as well as those in the\ towns and
cities. He pledged to the people if
elected to use the powers and pres
tige of the office for a building up
of public sentiment for the adequate
compensation of teachers in schools.
His second antidote for Bolshev
ism is freedom from isolation by
means of better roads, a better high
way system and the effects on gov
ernment, social life and religion. He
said that he would stand for the es
tablishment of better highway sys
tems.
The third antidote is the establish
ment of better homes. The hope of
the nation lies in the homes, he said.
Bolshevism never found root in
people who owned their homes. He
stated that he would use every ef
fort possible to amend the federal
loan act or pass a state law whereby,
young men could buy homes, that
he would conduct a business-like ad
ministration, that he would promise
that every dollar of taxes would buy
100 cents on the dollar.
His discussion of Senator Hard
wick and his record was largely, upon
his defense of the Martens case, pro
ducing records and evidence in the
case. Also he showed the Associated
Press dispatch of his speaking in
New York in January at a mass
meet!ng of Socialists.
Calhoun County’s
Courthouse Burned
EDISON, Ga., Aug. 3. —Calhoun
countyq’s courthouse at Morgan, Ga..
was completely destroyed by fire
about 2 o’clock Monday morning.
The fire is supposed to have been of
incendiary origin. No clues have
been found up to this time. The
records in the clerk’s and ordinary’s
offices were enclosed in vaults, and
it is hoped that all these will be
found in good condition.
Hailstorm Damages

corn crops in the Leslie section,

cording to information received here
Sunday. Crops on several hundred
acres were almost completely de

HOUSE DEFEATS
BUDGET BILL AT
TUESDAY SESSION
The house of representatives on
Tuesday, after an extended debate,
killed the bill to create a budget com
mission. The bill was introduced
at the 1919 session and was debated
several times, and each time laid
on the table by its supporters to
prevent it from being defeated.
At the 1920 session the efforts to
pass the bill were renewed, and it
has been debated several times in
the house. In the debate Tuesday
those who spoke against the bill
were Messrs. Johnson, of Bartow;
Covington, of Colquitt, and Stewart,
of Atkinson. Those speaking for the
bill were Messrs. Pace, of Sumter,
and Anderson, of Jenkins.
The bill was killed by disagree
to the favorable report of the con
stitutional amendments committee.
The vote was 100 to 55.
The bill proposed to create by con
stitutional amendment a buffget com
mission composed of the governor,
the attorney general, the superinten
dent of schools, the chairman of the
appropriations committee of the
house and the chairman of the
finance committee of the senate. This
commission would have prepared an
nually the appropriations bills after
examining the needs of the depart
ments and institutions of the state.
The bill originally provided that no
appropriation recommended by the
commission should be exceeded with
out a two-thirds vote of the house
and the senate. This provision fur
nished the main objection to the bill,
as it was contended that the authori
ty of the legislature would be made
subordinate to the authority of five
men.
Amendment Offered
To meet this objection, Mr. Pace,
of Sumter, offered an amendment
providing that appropriations recom
mended by the commission could be
exceeded only by a majority vote of
the house arid senate. Some of the
supporters of the bill objected to
this amendment on the ground that
the budget commission would then
be practically without authority.
Governor Dorsey has several times
in messages to the legislature urged
the passage of the budget bill or
some other measure which would
make for greater efficiency and
economy in the handling of the
state’s finances.
The house Tuesday passed a bill
by Mr. Kimsey, of White, increasing
the fees of ordinaries in counties of
50,000 population and less. The
average increase provided for in the
bill is about 25 per cent.
The house also passed a bill by
Mr. Daniel, of Heard, authorizing
guardians of insane persons to make
deeds to property in pursuance of
bonds for title given by such Insane
persons prior to their insanity.
In addition to the above the house
also passed the bill by the Fulton
delegation to amend the constitu
tion of Georgia so as to authorize
the issuance of street paving bonds
in the city of Atlanta, and passed
a bill to amend the constitution so
as to authorize the payment of pen
sions to all Confederate soldiers wno
resided in Georgia prior to January
1, 1920.
Local Bills Passed
The following local bills were
passed by the house on Tuesday:
By Mr. Johnson of Chattahoochehe
—To fix primary laws for Chatta
hoochee county.
Mr. Guess of DeKalb—To re
quire all parties in DeKalb county to
nominate candidates by primary on
same date and by same managers
and clerks as state primary.
By Chatham Delegation—To au
thorize city council of Savannah to
fix and regulate rates of baggage
and cab companies, hacks, taxi com
panies, public automobiles for hire,

To authorize council to levy a school
tax in Conyers.
Judge Cobb Heads
Historical Society
SAVANNAH, Ga„ Aug.* 3.—The
election last night of Judge Andrew
J Cobb, of Athens, as president of
the Georgia ' Historical, Society,
means that the combination of the
Atlanta and Savannah societies Is
now complete. A list of curators
from both Atlanta and Savannah was
elected at the same time Judge Cobb
was chosen.
For a great many years the Geor
gia Historical Society of Savannah
has been a very active organization
When a similar society was organiz
ed in Atlanta it was decided it would
be a good thing to combine the two
and this was done. A. R. Lawton, of
Savannah, the president of the Sa
vannah society, declined election as
president of the combined organi
zation, so Judge Cobb was chosen In
his stead. It is expected there will
be a meeting of the new officers In
-> short time.

Rail Rate Increase Is Too
Small to t Justify Raising
Cost of Food, Say Experts
In the opinion of rate and financial
experts, increases in the prices of
necessities of life as the result of
the new freight rates soon to go into
effect, will be entirely unjustified.
Translated to Individual cases, the
experts declare, the increase in
freight rates will be so small as to
be virtually insignificant.
The Southern News Bulletin, pub
lished by the Southern railway sys
tem, sets forth in detail the effects
of increased freight tariffs on the
costs of necessities and quotes the
Girard letter, published by the Girard
Trust company, of Philadelphia, to
the effect that “a rise in freight
rates might be used as an excuse
by dealers for boosting food and
clothing prices to consumers, but in
reality it would be almost .impossible
to translate such an increase to in
dividual cases because it would be
so small.”
Cost of a Shoe Shine
a family of flve " says the
Girard letter, a 30 per cent advance
rates would represent for
all the food eaten in one week just
the of a shoe shi ne. Ten cents

you know —
“That the actual freight charges
on a 5-ounce shirt shipped from New
York to New Orleans is just 1-2 cent
(.005), as compared to $.004 beefore
the war? This shirt formerly sold
for $1.50 but today costs you $3.50
or more.
“That a pair of shoes weighing
three pounds can be shipped by
freight from Boston, Mass., to Atlan
ta, Ga., for 5 cents today as com
pared to 4 cents before the war? (Os
course, you know the old $7.00 shoe
has now advanced to $12.00 or more.)
"That a suit of clothes weighing
six pounds can be shipped by freight
from Chicago to Jacksonville, Fla.,
for 11 cents today as compared to the
pre-war charge of 9 cents? (This is
the old S3O hand-me-down that costs
you S6O or more today.) )
"That one pound of fresh beef can
be shipped from Chicago to Birming
ham for less than 1 cent (.008), as
compared to the pre-war charge of
$.006. This pound of beef formerly
sold for 20 cents, but now costs you
35 cents or more.
“That one pound of sugar can be
shipped by freight from New Or
leans, La., to Greensboro, N. C., for
less than 1 cent ($.006), as compared
to $.005 in pre-war days? Sugar by
the pound was formerly around 5
cents, but if obtainable at all today
costs you 17 1-2 cents or more.”
