2 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 Captain R. G.

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. Bills Passed The following bills were passed by the senate: House Bill 888 —To amend the charter of the city of Macon so as to abolish the civil service commis sion- . - -- 'Hbu&6 ’Bill 987—T0 authorize the city of'W'est Point to acquire proper ty to protect the city from floods.

House Bill 986—T0 amend the con stitution so as to allow the City of West Point to increase its bonded debt to provide flood protection. 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 South Carolina Crops YORK, S. C., Aug. 3.—Cotton and corn crops in the Leslie section, twenty miles east of here, were damaged to the extent of $50,000 by a hailstorm yesterday afternoon, ac cording to information received here Sunday. Crops on several hundred acres were almost completely de sUqpeA the hail. 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, etc. By Chatham Delegation—To au thorize city of Savannah to use any property acquired for dock purposes as factory sites, warehouse sites, etc. By Gwinnett Delegation—To ex tend the corporate limits of the town of Grayson. By Mr.- Whittaker, ’of Rockdale— 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. mhkTHIS SUIT made to your own In dividual measure, from the finest cloth and high grade linings. It wen’t eest one eent.

U.i.v, AUGUST 5, 1920 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 would be the maximum increase on the cost of food, while the increase in the cost of clothing for a week is too small to be figured out in any States n ° W minted by the United “Let a hundred men each order a a £irst class hotel and the bill wnl be not less than $l5O dinn ® r - , How much more t . h ? s . e hundred steaks cost the Pnilaaelphia meat dealer were the railroad to get a 30 per cent increase for hauling them from Chicago? Just twenty cents for the lot. ."The after-dinner cigar of,one man at the table would equal the whole extra cost of the beef for the entire party of 100!” the Giriard letter con tinues. “Thus, a man in Philadelphia who buys a pair of shoes made near Bos ton would have to be taxed exactly one-half a cent for the extra freight rate, that being the additional cost of carrying a pair of shoes to him from there. man will pay $5 for theater tickets, plus the fifty cents war tax and regard the transaction as an eve ning’s amusement. What War Tax Can Do "But that war tax alone on those tickets would/just pay for the extra freight charge in carrying 100 suits of clothes from the Philadelphia maker to their Baltimore wearers. Precisely half a cent for the best suit of clothes is what that 30 per cent increase spells when the suit is car ried by a railroad, say 100 miles. “Go to a baseball game any after noon and you will see men stand in line for the privilege of buying a ticket for a good seat to see the game.
