THE ATI.AXTA TOl-WEEKIA’ J.HRSAL
EX-SOLDIER TELLS
OF SIBERIAN DUEL
A story of a queer duel between
himself and a Siberian Bolshevik is
one of tlie interesting yarns brought
back front overseas by Sergeant Sam
uel C. Taylor, a .veteran of the Si
berian campaign, from September,
1918, until March, 1920. who has
recently enlisted in the First Geor
gia infantry of the national guard.
Sergeant Taylor lives at 316 Hill
house street. East Point. He has
received his honorable discharge from
the regular arrnv and he is now
seeking employment in Atlanta.
He is one of two Georgians who
has won the right to wear the Si
berian campaign clasp upon his Vic
tory medal. He served in the Twen
ty-seventh United States infantry,
which in co-operation with the Thir
ty-first regulars, did guard duty
near Vladivostok. Siberia, for nearly
two years. He has had to repeat his
duel story on many occasions since
he returned from that exciting cam
paign.
“It happened on a dark night at
a railway station in Ugolonaya, not
far from Vladivostok,” he begins.
“The railway stations are built half
below the ground in that country,
and I was in charge of a provost
guard there at the station. A big
Russian got off the train and accost
ed an American sentinel doing guard
dirty on the platform. He said some
thing which the soldier did not un
derstand, and then tried to take the
sentinel’s rifle away from him.
“Now this was very much against
the rules, as you all know. The
guard pushed him aside after a
scuffle, and the Russian ran down
stairs into the subterranean part of
the station. T. being in charge of
the guard detachment, went down
there to arrest him.
“It was a dim, smoky hole, and
there were about twenty Russians
down there. I saw my man, and
when I arrested him. he picked up one
of those long Russian rifles, which
has a three-foot bayonet fixed onto
the muzzle. He had about a dozen
hand grenades tied to his belt. He
pointed the rifle at me, just as I
shot him with my automatic pistol.
It flattened him out, and I covered
the rest of his crowd, and backed
out safely. I always wondered after
wards what a mess there would have
been if that bullet had hit one ot
those grenades.”
After this incident. Sergeant Tay
lor was transferred to another part
of Russia because the friends of the
dead Bolshevik plotted to “bump him
off.” He ‘later went to the Philip
pine islands, and there received his
discharge from the service. He re
turned to Atlanta and is now seek
ing employment.
“It has been quite a job finding
work.” he says, “but I am optimistic
about it. I can drive a truck, and
do a little bit of almost everything,
but work is scarce here at this
time,”
Validifv of Prohibition
Law Is Reaffirmed by
U. S. Supreme Court
WASHINGTON. May 17.—The val
idity of the prohibition amendment
was* reaffirmed by the supreme court
today.
All sections of the amendment now
have been upheld, by the court, thus
making it certain that future at
tacks will be futile.
Specifically the court held that the
proposal of "President Harding, while
a senator, requiring that the states
must ratify the amendment within
seven years to make it operative,
does not void it. Attorneys for the
liquor interests had contended that
this requirement was unconstitution
al and therefore invalidated the en
tire amendment.
The Harding proposal is section 3
and the court last June specifically
upheld the other two sections. Jus
tice Van DeVanter again read the
decision, as he did last June.
The court also held that the pro
hibition amendment became effective
on January 17, 1920. Wet attorneys
asserted that it was not law until
January 29, or one year after the
ratification of 36 states was proclaim
ed by the secretary of state. Jan
uary 17 was one year after the 36
states had ratified, the twelve inter
vening days representing the time re
quired for official notices of action
to reach the state department.
Banking Law Changes

WASHINGTON, May 17. —Senator
McKellar, Democrat. Tennessee, sub

Federal Reserve bank officials, ap

mittee, Senator McKellar said, were
geenrally favorable to a bill he has
introduced for tne purpose, and he
expects that it will be reported out
for passage next week.

Outlook Bright for
Large Melon arid
Cantaloupe Crops
MOULTRIE. Ga., May 17.—Water
melon growers in the Moultrie ter
ritory would be taking an exceed
ingly optimistic view of the crop
outlook were it not for the fact that
freight rates on melons are described
as almost prohibitive. The crop will
begin moving earlier this season
than it has in a number of years.
The rains of the past week came
just in time to prevent serious dam
age and started the melons well on
the road towards maturity. It is
declared that the crojj movement
will be well under way by the mid
dle of June. It is certain that a
number of cars will go from the
Moultrie district by June 10, if not
before that date. The crop is not
as large as it was last year, but the
production per acre will be much
heavier and if prices hold up, more
cars will be shipped from this sec
tion than went forward in 1920, it i<s
believed.
It was because of the high freight
rates that many growers reduced
their acreage this seasen. A con
certed fight was made to bring
about a reduction in rates and this
fight is being continued, but now
since the railroads have declined to
voluntarily grant a reduction, it is
not believed that it will be possible
to get anything done this season. A
hearing will be asked before the in
terstate commerce commission, but
a decision can’t reasonably be ex
pected before July 1 and the bulk of
the melon crop will have been ship
ped by that date.
The cantaloupe crop is also earlier
this season than it has been in a
long time. Reports from Pelham
say it is believed that a car of
cantaloupes will be shipped from
there by June 10, 13 days sooner
than the first car went forward
last year. Mitchell county is gen
erally considered the largest canta
loupe producing county in the state
and it is estimated that at least 500
cars will be shipped from the Pel
ham district this season. Good
prices are expected.

Feed Contest Proves
*
Hogs Profitable '
At Present Prices
MOULTRIE, Ga., May 17.—Nine
Worth county , farmers have just
demonstrated that there is money In
hog- raising even with present prices.
These farmers fed out in a contest
ninety-four hogs for a period of three
months, keeping an accurate account
of all costs, valuing feed at market
quotations, and cleaned up a profit of
$6 a head, according to figures fur
nished S. C. Hood, of the Southwest
Georgia Development association, by
J. O. Traxler, county agent of Worth,
who directed the feeding contest.
The average weight of the hogs
when the contest was started was
ninety-one pounds. On the day the
hogs were weighed they were worth
6 3-4 cents a pound on the Moultrie
market.
The basis on which the cost of feed
was arrived at was as follows: Corn,
SO cents; tankage, $65 per ton;
shorts, SBO per ton; sweet potato, 60
cents per bushel: oats, rape or rye
pasture, 50 cents per head per
month; velvet beans, $2.50 per head
a month.
No kitchen slops were allowed un
der the terms of the contest and all
feeds were confined to commercial or
home-grown feeds, which were
priced at full market value.
At the end of the ninety-day period
lhe same hogs were carried to Sylves
ter and sold at auction by a repre
sentative of the state bureau of mar
kets.
Seven of the nine farmers made an
average net profit of $6 per head
after paying for all feed at full mar
ket prices, and one of the contestants
inade a net profit of $7.60 per head
in ninety days on twelve hogs.
Hogs fed by seven of the nine
farmers put on gain during th<s
ninety days at an average cost of 5.8
cents per pound. One man tried to
feed corn alone and the gain his
hogs registered cost him 12 cents a
pound.

PROJECT WOW
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building,
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, May 17. It. Is
learned that the postoffice depart
ment has abandoned the program of
the past administraton for an aerial
mail route between Washington and
Atlanta.
Lack of an appropriation to extend
further the delivery of mail by air
plane and the failure of Alfred W.
Lawson, of Minneapolis, to finance
the mail route on which he was the
successful bidder last fall, are giv
en as the primary reasons for the
abandonment of the project by the
postoffice department.
Mr. Lawson, the department says,
has been unable to inaugurate the
line anu should it become operative
such delivery could continue jnly
until the end of the present fiscal
year because there is no appropria
tion for further service.
The new second assistant post
master general, H. H, Shaughnessy,
has interpreted the recent postof-
Hce appropriation act as forbidding
additional airplane routes. Last fall
the department decided that it was
authorized to establish new routes
provided mail could be delivered as
cheaply by airplane as by train.
There was a blanket provision in
law for this step, but now the de
partment holds that this no longer
exists under the postoffice- bill for
next year, and there is no appropria
tion, either direct or indirect, for the
Washington-Atlanta route.
Last fall Mr. Lawson „ame to
Washington and made bids on a daily
aerial mail service betwen Washing
ton and Atlanta. In' addition to
carrying the mails, he promised to
carry passengers in giant airplanes
between the two cities, stopping off
at Columbia, Raleigh and possibly
other cities. He was awarded the
contract by Second Assistant Post
master General Praeger, and the pro
posed venture received much public
ity and praise throughout the south.
Senator Harris recentlv made in
quiries regarding the delay in opera
tion of the route. Now the second
assistant postmaster general, who
has chaYge of transportation of the
mails, advised the Georgia senator
as follows:
“The department Is in receipt of
your communication regarding air
mail service between Washington
and Atlanta under a contract made
with Alfred W. Lawson on Septem
ber 13, 1920.
“In reply, I beg to advise you that
an investigation made by a repre
sentative of this department on April
S' last showed conclusively that the
contractor/ would be unable to in
augurate the service under the
terms of his contract, Inasmuch as
he had not provided the necessary
equipment or landing fields. He ad
mitted that he had been unable to
obtain the necessary financial as
sistance to inaugurate and maintain
the service.
“Furthermore, It would not have
been possible under the provisions of
the postoffice appropriation act. ap
proved March 1, 1921, to have con
tinued the service after the close or
the current fiscal year.”
The postoffice official then quotes
the old and new postal laws regard
ing aerial mail extensions. Under
the interpretation of the department
it cannot now count against railroad
transportation certain overhead
charges, such as terminal expenses,
and air deliveries are Impossible.
Difficulties are summed up, how
ever, in this paragraph relating to
the Lawson contract:
“It being apparent that the con
tractor would be unable to inaugurate
the service, and obvious that, the
service could not be continued after
June 30. 1921. the department, upon
application of the contractor, an
nulled the contract.”
Senator Harris said he would seek
congressional action specifically au
thorizing the Washington-Atlanta
airplane mail.
More Live Stock for
Baldwin County
MILLEDGEVILLB. Ga„ May 17.
The farmers of Baldwin county are
quite active in an effort to increase
the breeding of pure-bred live stock
and to bring about diversification in
farming.
L. E. Swain, formerly of Warren
county, was recently made farm
defnonstrator for Baldwin county
and he is now actively on the job
here. The members of the Baldwin
county farm bureau are holding
meetings weekly for the purpose of
keeping up genuine co-operation in
the matter of looking to better mar
kets and the raising of uniform
crops.
Conunty Agent Swain is enthusi
astic in his work and he is being
kept unusually busy in his efforts to
keep in close touch with the farmers
here. He is making arrangements
whereby he will-be able to answer
any call that is made of him on
short notice, and from all indications
the people of this county are rapidly
becoming educated to the needs of a
man well versed along agricultural
and live stock lines.

CAGED FOR le YEARS,
WOMAN OS HEIRESS
Hall, the
thirty-one-year-old heiress to a miss
ing treasure of several thousand dol
lars, will look on the outside world
soon for the first time in sixteen
years. More than half her life has
been passed as a prisoner in a small,
crude wire cage in the tumble-down
home of her mother. Mrs. Catherine
Hall, near Round Lake.
Dr. John Cotton, health officer of
the town of Ballston, who discovered
her recently, emaciated, babbling and
terror-stricken at the sight of a
stranger, after neighbors had asked
what had become of the long-miss
ing girl, will take her to the Sara
toga hospital. There she will bo
given a thorough mental and phys
ical examination.
Sixteen years passed in the small,
darkened inclosure, behind tightly
closed window blinds, and entirely
lacking even the simplest comforts,
have had their effect on Jessie Hall,
and physicians fear her health has
BAPTISTS POSTPONE
BIGMWH
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 17. —
Representation of women on the ex
ecutive committee and the five gener
al boards of the Southern Baptist
convention was deferred for a year
by action of the convention late
Monday, the nominating committee
having discovered difficulty in ad
justing provisions of the by-laws of
tlie convention and in other matters
relating to the selection of the wom
en. Th<» committee to which was
originally referred the memorial
from the Woman’s Missionary Union,
asking for the representation of the
women on all the major agc«ries of
the convention, was instructed to
take the whole matter under consid
eration for a year and report the so
lution of all difficulties to the next
session of the body.
Establishment of another theologi
cal seminary by the convention was
provided for Monday afternoon, and
proposals from states desiring its lo
cation are asked for during the com
ing year, with the convention fixing
the location at its next session. Prop
ositions have already been made in
formally by Georgia, South Carolina
and Virginia, and the indications are
that the institution will be located in
one of the Atlantic coast states. One
or more south-wide Baptist univer
sities is favored by the convention
and the committee having this matter
in charge was instructed to invite
proposals on the location of such in
stitutions during the coming year.
In the same connection the Co
lumbia associatiin at Washington,
D. C., was asked by the convention
to develop a plan for the reclaiming
by the Baptists of George Wash
ington university, of that city, for
merly Columbian university, and
which was until recently under Bap
tist control.
An independent association of Bap
tist schools and colleges in the south
probably will be formed, it is an
nounced, following the action of the
convention in adopting a resolution
to the effect that it is the sense of
the convention that all Baptist
schools and colleges should be ex
ecutively independent and adminis
tratively free of all agencies except
those created by the conventions or
other Baptise bodies owning the
schools.
The creation in each state of a
historical society for preserving the
Baptist records of the states was rec
ommended by the convention. Defi
nite recommendations were adopted
looking to supplying the 4,500 pas
torless Baptist churches of the south
with pastors.
Poles Will Retire '

OPPELN, May 17.—(8y the Asso

committee in Silesia, of which Adel

graphed to the inter-allied commis

now are ready to retire sufficiently
to insure immediate cessation of

U-Boat, Sans Oil,
Travels With Sails
HILO, T. IT., May 17.—Submarine
R-l 4 arrived here yesterday under a
jury rig after exhausting her oil sup
plies while out on search for the
missing navy tug Conestoga. The
R-14 had sails made from hammocks
and mattresses, supported on masts
and yards made from steel bunk
rods.
Officers of the submarine reported
their Qil gave, out on May 10, when
they were 150 miles west of here. |
Lieutenants A. S. Douglas and R. T.
Gallamore and twenty-seven enlisted
men were aboard the R-14.

been permanently damaged. It is
suspected she has tuberculosis.
The authorities have failed thus
far to account for an inheritance of
?8,000 said to belong to the girl. She,
has been left in the cage, in care of
the 'mother and sister, who have
been her jailers, ever since her dis
covery, because Dr; Cotton believed
she would be better off in this en
vironment, to which she had become
accustomed, until after she had been
examined. The aged mother explain
ed that she kept Jessie locked up to
prevent her running away.
Upon the result of the examina
tion by the physicians Thursday will
depend in a large measure the dispo
sition of the woman. If she is found
to be affected with tuberculosis Dr.
Cotton undoubtedly will direct her
removal to the Saratoga County Tu
berculosis hospital, where she can be
given proper treatment, care and
nourishment. Whether Miss Hall is
seriously ill or not the authorities
believe a sanitarium wijl be an ex
cellent place for her to be kept, for
a time at least.
IBEISE IS NOTED
INI COM.JWIETIM
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Bitumi
nous coal production now has jump
ed to more than 7,000,000 tons week
ly, indicating that the country is
well started on the long pull out of
the busines depression. ■ Increasing
coal production and consumption
mean Ises unemployment, larger
production and lowei* prices.
“The coal production reports of the
interior department constitute one of
the nation’s best business barome
ters,” said George H. Cuihing, man
aging director of the National
Wholesale Coal association, here to
day.
“By July, bituminous production
will have reached the stage of 9,-
500,000 tons weekly. This means em
ployment of from 150,000 to 175,000
more miners.
“When miners go to work, closed
factories start to reopen and unem
ployment decreases.
“There is every reason to believe
that, steady increase in coal buying
is under way. The slump seems to
be over.
“Householders are buying anthra
cite coal at a rate seldom equaled
at this time of the year. During
the first week of May, the opera
tors sold their entire output in tho
same week in which it was mined.”
