AUTOS TABU ON
BEST HIGHWAY
IN THE SAMOAS
APIA, Samoan Islands.—There is
one island in the Samoan group
where automobiles are “tabu,” for
bidden. Strangely enough, it is the
largest of the group, the island of
Savaii, which occupies the singular
position in legend of being the cra
dle of the Polynesian race.
The deputy administrator of the
island, “Dick” Williams, a genial
Irishman, is uncrowned king—the
sort of man that has made South
Seas romance since the days of
daring voyagers who revealed these
island Edens to the world. He is
loved by every native and his word
is law. Practically the only other
white men on this island are trad
ers, or store keepers.
Williams succeeded in doing the
next to impossible in persuading his
native charges to build a road that
veary nearly encircles the island.
It is a wonderful highway") wide and
heavily turfed. Just the sort of a
road that saddle animals and light
wagons would find ideal, but with
Fords and other light cars running
over them constantly' in wet weather
there would soon be no bottom left
to them. Hence the ediqt that there
were to be no motor cars brought
to Savaii.
The native Samoan is not fond of
work. At least not the sustained
drudgery of the white man. There
fore the task of “Dick” Williams in
securing his road gangs was envied
by no one. •
In one village the natives refused
to do their assessed portion unless
they were paid four shillings a day.
They were encouraged by certain
half castes, -who told them people
got money elsewhere for doing work
of this nature. Jn vain Williams
expiat’d that this road development
was lor them alone, that no one
else would use the roads but them
selves. They were tbborn.
But the honorable deputy admin
istrator was full of resourcefulness.
He told off 80 prisoners from the
jail and marched them down to the
village and ordered them to set to
work on the road. The villagers sat
around and watched. But when they
learned that they were expected to
feed this huge body of men, it was
another story. In vain they protest
ed. The big boss had so ordered,
and there was nothing •-> do but to
dig into their taro plantations and
banana x.
Finally, in desperation, the head
men of this village went- to Wil
liams and begged him to taka this
norde of ravenous workers-from the
village. They were willing and even
anxious now *■- build that road.
But the deputy administrator was
not interested. The work had to be
done and he had appointed men to
do it. In a country like Samoa,
where each village is responsible
for the good conduct of each man in
it, ther» was no escaping this pun
ishment. Stay there the prisoners
did, until the last shovel full of
dirt had been pounded into place.
The village was stripped clean of
foodstuffs before they were taken
away. No other village held out for
payment sos the assessed ’•"-4 work.
German Cowherder
At $3 Per Year, Not
Underpaid, Claim
BY GEOBGE yTITTE
(Special Cable to the Chicago Daily News
Foreign Service, by Leased Wire to
The Atlanta Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
BERLIN, Germany, Nov. 20.—Even
the ipost underpaid of Germany are
howling with delight over a serious
report made on the “poorest man in
Germany” made by an official com
mission appointed by the government
of Saxony to look into the cas.e of
the municipal cow herder in a small
city of Saxony, who is being paid
the magnificent wage of 200 marks
a year, which at the present rate
of exchange is equivalent to $3 In
American money. report re
jects with indignation the inference
that the old man is underpaid.
“The man in question,” reads the
finding of the committee, “has never
even applied for assistance from the
poor authorities. Besides drawing
200 marks a year the man has the
full use of a hut which not only
has four walls but also a weather
proof roof. Besides he is permitted
to utilize the grass plot of 100 square
yards surrounding the hut. Under
these circumstances we must repu
diate most emphatically the charge
.that the cow herder is underpaid.”
The amusing part of the whole
business is the fact that the members
of the commission recently threat
ened to strike unless their salaries
were raised to a minimum of 191,000
marks (normally $6,750) a year be
cause “it is the lowest salary on
which anybody can live on in Ger
many at the present time.”

Dixie Highway Projects ■
Important Feature of
StateHignway Program
< The Georgia highway department
now makes public its important plans
for the reconstruction of the Dixie
highway, and along with the an
nouncement goes a brief statement
of the work by counties, giving the
degree of progress mads on each
link, and the nature of the improve
ments under way.
The highway department calls at
tention to what it tQrms “the value
of the Dixie highway as an avenue
through which tourists and home
seekers from -other sections may get
a first-hand view of the natural re
sources of Georgia,”
“Construction already has begun or
is in immediate prospect in practical
ly every one of the twenty counties
through which the Dixie highway
passes,” says the report. “With the
completion of the various county
links, the Dixie highway, as far as
Georgia is concerned, will be in
reality a broad boulevard oyer whicn
vehicular traffic from the middle west
can pass without delay or difficulty
through the Empire State of the
South.”
The statement of the situation con
cludes with the promise that addi
tional projects will be inaugurated
within the next few months, as many
counties are'preparing to co-operate
with the department in constructing
permanent highways with the aid
of the state and federal funds.
The detailed report, by counties,
follows:
North Georgia Work
“Entering Georgia from the north,
the Dixie highway traverses Catoosa
county and construction has already
begaun on a stretch of road 7.7 miles
long from Ringgold to the Tennes
see line. This will be a chert road
shortening the distance to Chatta
nooga by four miles.
“In W’hitfield county a new con
crete bridge has been erected over
Swamp creek, near Dalton, eliminat
ing a bad spot, while maintenance
work is being done along the whole
stretch of the Dixie highway in the
county. ~ , ...
“The Gordon county link of the
Dixie highway is being improved
by the construction of an initial
stretch of 2.5 miles of gravel sur
faced road between Calhoun and the
Bartow county line. This work is
now under way and is progressing
rapidly. , , .
“Road terrors are being removed
in Bartow county, where funds
raised by popular subscription are
being matched dollar for dollar by
state funds paid through the high
way department. This road, it is said,
is normally almost impassable in
winter, but when repairs are com
pleted, will be in good condition.
“In Cobb county there is under
construction a project involving a
four-mile stretch of road between
Marietta and Smyrna. This will be
surfaced with bituminous macadam
and will form an important Unk in
the highway. Difficulty in obtaining
rights of way is causing some de
lay in the construction of this road.
“The Fulton county link ot tne
Dixie highway is of concrete and
asphalt throughout. This road is be
ing kept in excelent condition by
maintenance operations carried on
continuously.
“The department also has unde J
way construction projects
the western branch of the
highway leading down .J! 1 ®
Tennessee line through W alker,
Chattooga, Floyd, Paulding and
Cobb counties. A concrete road 2.8
miles in length is being built be-
Uveen Rome and Lindale, this proj
ect being half complete, whilp 17.9
miles of sand clay road are being
constructed in Cobb bounty along
this route. The condition of the
western branch through Walker and
Chattooga counties is good.
Many Big Projects
“Going southward from Atlanta,
the Dixie highway construction in
cludes 16.54 miles of sand clay road
in Clayton county which is 10 per
cent complete, while in Henry coun
ty there has been completed a seven
mile stretch of fine sand clay road
which connects up with the Clayton
county link of the interstate thor
oughfare.
“Ten miles of excellent concrete
road have been completed in Spald
ing county along the line of the
Dixie highway, making this link
one of the finest examples of road
building in the south.
“The highway from the Pike
county line to Barnesville includes
a stretch of 9.72 miles of sand clay
road now under construction, but
the project from Barnesville to For
syth is being held up because no
funds are available to carry out the
plans already completed by the de
partment. It is expected that prog
ress will be made on this link before
spring.
“Twenty-seven miles of sand clay
road from Forsyth to the Bibb coun
ty line constitute Monroe county
-link of the Dixie highway, this

tically its entire link, with six
miles of the highway now com

“In Houston county the highway
is in good shape by reason of the
sand clay roads constructed for the
most part with strictly county funds,
although the highway department
gave assistance in some ipstances.
“Between Hawkinsville and Abbe
ville a 60)-foot concere and steel
bridge has been erected, eliminating
a. bad sjsot in the highway, and the

struction of another concrete bridge
across the Ocmulgee river at Haw

“Eight miles of bituminous mac
adam road are underconstruction in
Ben Hill and Irwin counties between
Fitzgerald and Ocilla, while be

sand clay road are under con
struction preparatory to . hard sur
facing.
“Another stretch of the Dixie
Highway in Bacon county is being
built from Alma to the Ware county
line, a distance of 17 miles. This
link is 17 miles long and will elimi
nate one of the worst stretches of
the Dixie highway by transform
ing it into a sand-clay road of the
most modern type.
“The Ware county link of the
highway includes 10 miles of sand
clay road from the Bacon county
line to Waycross and a long stretch
of bituminous macadam southward
to the Charlton county line. Con
tinuing on toward' Jacksonville in
Charlton county, this bituminous
macadam road runs straight to the
Florida state line. This 26-mile
link from Waycross to the state line
borders the Okefinokee swamp and
puts into commission a stretch of
the Dixie highway that has hither
to been practically impassable at
certain seasons of the year.”
CRAWLEY APPEAL
FOR NEW TRIAL IS
HEARD SATURDAY
GAINESVILLE, Ga., Nov. 20 —ln a
long hearing here today, counsel for
George, Decatur and Rosa Crawley
and Blaine Stuart, convicted of kill
ing Deputy Marshal Ben H. Dixon,
in Union county, in January. 1919
began their plea for a new trial, on
the ground that two of the jurors
of the original jury were disquali
fied.
Attorneys Hughes Spalding and
John A. Sibley, of Atlanta, repre
sented the defense, while Solicitor
General J. G. Collins, of Blairsville,
and Howard Thompson, of Gaines
ville, represented the state. Judge
J. B. Jones, of the Northeastern cir
cuit, who presided at the first trial,
heard the plea. No decision yas ren
dered, but both sides are to file briefs
and the judge will make his decision
within the next ten days.
Attorneys for the defense based
their plea on the ground that Frank
H. Spivey, one of the jurors, is a
cousin of the widow of Deputy Unit
ed States Marshall Ben H. Dixon,
who was killed in Union county in
January, 1919, and for which the
Crawleys were convicted, and that
Luther Chasteen, a member of the
jury, who has since died. Is report
ed to have said after 'he trial that
it was his intention to convict and
hang the Crawleys if he was select
ed on the jury, and that the verdict
the jury brought in was the verdict
that he had intended to get before
he qualified as a juror. Affidavits
were read from a number of persons
in support of these contentions.
Judge Jones stopped the proceed
ings at one time, and declared that
had he known of any kinship exist
ing in the original trial he would
have stopped it, and declared a mis
trial.
Attorneys for the state sought to
have the new trial denied on eleven
grounds, claiming that they had not
been given twenty days’ notice, and
that the judge had no jurisdiction
over the contentions of the defense.
Just when Judge Jones will make
known his decision is not known,
but it is expected that it will be
within the next ten days or two
weeks. If he grants the motion, tire
attorneys for the state will have no
appeal, but if he disallows it, the de
fense can then appeal to the supreme
court, the last legal move they can
make In behalf of their clients.
MacSwiney’s Fast Is
Cause of Idea That
Man May Hibernate
BY JOHN BEECK
APART from its political aspect
the hunger strike of the lord
mayor of Cork is most interest
ing. If a man can go without
eating for any considerable length
of time while partially awake, what
js to prevent his hibernating? Would
it not be possible for those of us
who can see no prospect of a rea
sonable surplus for food after we
have paid for rent and coal to merely
accept the situation with the same
stoic philosophy as the bear, wrap
ourselves up warm for the winter,
and forget all abouit it?.
That is what hibernating amounts
to All manner of creatures prac
tice it. When their food supply is
on the wane and their senses warn
them harder times are at hand they
prefer to husband what strength they
have accumulated in the plenteous
season than to expend it in fruitless
hunting. Bre’er rabbit does not hi
bernate because he can always find
a fatly-seeded weedhead or a willow
step to gnaw, though he will doze a
couple of days together in a storm.
Bre’er Coon does because most of
his favorite game is doing the same
thing. And there you have it.
Temperature does not seem to be
the deciding cause. In our climate
winter happens to be the famine
time, but in torrid zones it is in the
long summer drouth, the hottest sea
son of the year, that creatures do
their sleeping. Indeed, cold will wake
many of them. It is all very well for
a frog or a fish or a spider to freeze
solid, but a squirrel must climb out
and get his blood to circulating again
assuage his appetite on his hidden
stores, if ever he expects to see an
other spring. A hungry animal dares
not undertake it at all, and most oi
them are stirring long before the
snow is off the ground; hunger drives
them forth —hunger and the impa
tience which makes each early thaw
for April rain. , . ..
There have been travelers’ tales
that men, too, passed their famine
times in sleeping. Tales of Eskimo
waiting with enormous patience
locked in their igloos, while a tew ot
the strongest men went hunting, tales
of Indians and of the Russians.
There’s a new idea for the economist.
The trouble is to put it to the test
and it will take something much
greater, vital need —or an ideal, right
or wrong—to induce finy on© to tiy
it. -
Farmers Are Warned
To Protect Cotton
From Bad Weather
A very urgent warning to farmers
throughout Georgia to protect their
cotton from weather damage has
been issued by the cotton merchants
and brokers of Atlanta. The tone
of their statement indicates that
they may refuse to handle weather
damaged cotton this year.
They assert that Georgia farmers
lost $100,000,000 in 1918 from this
cause alone. Cotton left in the open,
exposed to rain, dirt and other dam
aging exposures, loses from 10 to 50
per cent of its value. With the cot
ton market sagging very low at the
present time, as the cotton men
point out, it is hard for a farmer to
get a satisfactory price for perfect
ly clean cotton, much less for weath
er damaged cotton. .
They urge the farmers to put their
cotton in warehouses and take re
ceipts for it, or at least to put it
under shelter on their farms if kept
at home.
One cotton merchant of Atlanta
claims to have counted 1,000 bales of
exposed cotton between Macon ana,
Atlanta last week.

Turkish Refugees Are
In Terrible Condition
Aboard Steamer Rion
BY CONSTANTINE BHOWN
(Special Cable to the Chicago Daily News
Foreign Service, by Leased Wire to
The Atlanta Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
CONSTANTINPOLE, Turkey, Nov.
20.—A visit to the ship Rion lying
in the Bosphorus convinced the writ
er that the reports of authorities that
all was well with the refugees are
misleading.
These people, who have spent sev
en days on shipboard packed together
like sardines and under armed guards,
are begging for food. On the Rion
they had been four days without any
thing to eat or drink. The complete
lack of water was the greatest hard
ship. When she correspondent
boarded the ship some of the ref
ugees frantically clawed at his
clothes and begged for bread and
water.
In the hospital part of the vessel
conditions were incredibly bas, the
patients lying with their wounds un
washed and getting only one spoon
ful of a dirty mess called food in
the course of the day. The people
were begging to be put ashore in
the fields or anywhere as on the ship
the crowding is ttrrbearable.
The French are putting up 20,000
tents in Constantinople and 20,000
in Lemnos. It is only a question of
days before an epidemic breaks out,
so great is the filth and overcrowd
ing. American sailors are giving

VANDERLIP BUYS
TOWN TO CHANGE
ITS PERSONALITY
OSSINING, N. Y.—How can the
personality of a town be changed?
Frank Vanderlip, international finan
cier, didn’t like the personality of
Sparta, a town of thirty families, a
little way from here, and so he
bought it.
Now he plans to make it over until
its moral tone suits him.
Sparta has always been a drink
ing town. *
It was a crossroads inn town dur
ing the Revolution, and, if common
report is correct, one still may find
the fluid that burns and cheers.
George Washington often stayed at
its inn and the man who invented
the Monitor lived at Sparta. These
facts attracted Vanderlip thirty
years ago.
Eoreign Population
The original colonial stock of the
town has vanished and in its place
has come a polyglot population drawn
from Italy, Sweden, Russia and Hun
gary.
"I never could understand Sparta’s
low standard of living,” Vanderlip
told me. “Wealthy people who live
at Scarsboro-on-Hudson, a few miles
away, tried to raise the standard by
giving things to the Spartans. That
kind of charity failed. Every other
plan to make Sparta a better town
failed also.
“I’m going to try a new plan, i I’m
going to build some model tenements,
remodel the present buildings and
give them modern conveniences, in
cluding sleeping porches.”
The only other time a man tried to
reform a town by buying it, the at
tempt failed. A millionaire bought
a western mining town that had a
bad reputation. He replaced the orig
inal inhabitants with those of his
choosing, but in a few years the
new folks were worse >han the old.
His experiment failed, it is said, be
cause there wasn’t enough fresh
blood in the town. The people all
knew each other and feuds and fights
developed.
Nearly all of the thirty families of
Sparta are intermarried. Everybody
is a relative of everybody. They are
a Suspicious folk and I found them
unwilling to talk of their town or of
Vanderlip’s plan. Vanderlip will pro
tect his experiment from the same
failure that occurred in the west by
taking measures to keep transients
coming to the town and townspeople
moving away. ,
Sumter County Farmer
Abandons Cotton; Puts
Acres Into Hogs, Grain
AMERICUS, Ga., Nov. 20. —Devot-
ing his entire farm of 200 acres to
the production of grain, cattle, poul
try and hogs, J. H. Myers, living a
few miles west of Americus, on the
Dawson road, is an ardent advocata
of diversified farming in Georgia.
Four years ago Mr. Myers aban
doned the production of cotton, and
last year devoted his entire farm to
raising corn, • velvet beans, forage,
cattle and hogs. He has erected at
his home a modern farm refrigerat
ing plant, having a 10,000 pounds
ice capacity, and during the four
years he has used this, has not lost
a single pound of meat in curing.
The curing season with Myers is
when his hogs are fat, winter or
summer, his refrigerating plant en
abling him to cure meat perfectly
at all seasons. Forty-eight hogs,
weighing from 175 to 200 pounds
each, ■- were recently killed and are
now in process of curing. Later
what is not needed on the farm will
be sold by him through the usual,
channels.
In addition to raising large num
bers of swine, Mr. Myers owns a
flock of 125 to 150 White Orping
ton hens, which Mrs. Myers cares
for, and they have eggs for sale
as well as for home consumption
throughout the year.
Frank A, Munsey Pays
$1,500,000 for Paper
BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 20.—Frank
A. Munsey, owner of the Baltimore
News, has bought the Baltimore
American and Star, at a price said to
be about $1,500,000. The American
building is not included in the deal,
which is for the newspaper proper
ties and plants only. Munsey will
suspend publication of the Star, De
cember 1, and will issue the Ameri
can as the morning edition of the
News, but continuing the old name
of the American. The Sunday Amer
ican will also be continued, as will
the Sunday afternoon edition of the
News.
It is understood that both the
American an'd the Munsey buildings
will be abandoned as newspaper of
fices and devoted entirely to the pur
poses of office buildings. The Amer
ican building will be managed by
General Agnus as administrator of
the Fulton estate, of which it will
continue to be a part. A new build
ing win, it is said, be erected by
Munsey and will be the home of the
American as well as of the News.
THOUSANDS AGREE
AS TO THIS
That Black-Draught Is Ex
cellent for Stomach and
Liver Disorders, Hence
Its Great Popularity.
Mississippi Planter's
Houston, Miss.—Mr. J. A. Tren<
a well-known planter of this plac<
recently related “his experience in
using Thedford’s Black-Draught. “1
don’t believe there is a better liver
medicine made,” said Mr. Trenor.
“I use it for headache, stomach dis
orders and torpid liver.
“It is not bad to take, does not
leave a constipated condition, as so
many of the liver pills and medi
cines do. It does its work and
leaves you feeling like a new per
son.”
Thousands of. others have found
Black-Draught as 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
the liver, and helping to increase'
the flow of bile.
Black-Draught has been found to
assist in the digestion of food, and
relieves constipation in a prompt
and normal way.
On account of Black-Draught’s
long-proved merit and immense pop
ularity, many imitations are being
offered for sale. For your own sat
isfaction it will pay you to insist
upon the genuine, and be sure the
package bears the name “Thedford’s
Black-Draught.”

. stant use—full directions in pack
