BETTER BUSINESS
DEPORTED INSTATE
" ; General improvement in business
conditions in this state, and more
rapid than has been looked for, is
noted in the bulletin, covering April,
issued by the industrial information
service of the Georgia Railway and
Power company, for distribution all
over the country, as well as in the
state and section. It follows:
"Georgia is on the way toward re
covery from the depressed condi
tions of last year in much shorter
time than was expected. The last
month was marked by unmistakable
symptoms of quickening business
activity and general optimism.
“Industrial expansion in several
lines was accompanied by increased
wholesale and retail trade. Finan
cial conditions have reached a firm
basis in the larger cities and the
country banks are in improved con
dition after the shock administered
them by the financial •catastrophe
suffered by the farmers last year.
“The assurance of a high price
for cotton next fall, because of the
■mall carry-over, has encouraged
the farmers, in spite of the fact
that crop crowing conditions are
not of the best.
“Excessive rainfall in the north
ern two-thirds of the state has ,
placed cotton about two weeks be
hind schedule. In South Georgia, |
dry, warm weather enabled the crop I
to get an early start, but continu- '
ance of this condition throughout I
April with near-drought conditions 1
has hindered the development of the
young plants.
“A slight increase in cotton acre
age in Georgia is indicated, but the
percentage of increase probably will
be less than in any other cotton
growing state. The increase will be
mainly in the South Georgia sec
tion.
“The watermelon acreage this
year is the greatest in history, be
ing within 15 per cent of the total
acreage of the United States four
years ago.
“The peach crop is estimated at
8,400 carloads, almost up to the rec
ord crop of 1921. It is expected that
the first shipments will be started
north about May 20, the crop being
about two weeks later than last sea-
“Farm labor is plentiful and in
dustrious. This item alone will
cause a reduction in the cost of pro- i
ducing the present crop and enable
the farmers to make a better profit. ;
“Products valued at more than i
$300,000,000 were produced by
Georgia manufacturing concerns
during 1921, according to the report
of the state department of com
merce and labor, just issued. The
number of manufacturing plants
was listed at 5,123 with a total capi
tal invested of $440,505,000. Atlanta
was credited with 503 manufactur
ing plants with products valued at
$114,249,000. Savannah has 147
plants with products valued at $lB,-
803.000.
. “The total value of building per
>nits in Atlanta for April was sl,-
297,439, nearly double the total of
•April, 1921. Permits for construc
tion of 218 dwellings with an aggre
gate cost of $787,875 were issued.
-! “Importation of live stock into
Georgia from other states continues,
Eure bread cattle and hogs being
rought here by the carloads for
(disposal to Georgia farmers. Dur
ing the past years Georgia has be
* icome the sixth state in number of
pure bred swine, passing Nebraska
in its upward climb.’*
B. H. Dunaway, Former
4 Ordinary of Lincoln,
May Head State Farm
. B. H. Dunaway, formerly ordi
nary of Lincoln county, and a
.large and well-to-do planter of that
county, is likely to be named as
superintendent of the state prison
farm at Macon to succeed the late
J. Pope Brown, it is understood on
reliable authority.
Since the death of Mr. Brown,
the prison commission, which has
general supervision of the state
farm, and names the officers there
of, has received a vast number of
applications for the position of su
perintendent from men in all parts
of Georgia.
The commission has delayed ac
tion in the matter for several weeks
for the reason, it is understood, that
there is a difference of opinion
among the three commissioners as
to whether the commission should
do away with the position of super
intendent and itself to take active
charge, or should name a superin
tendent to succeed Mr. Brown, or
should consolidate the positions of
warden and superintendent, hereto
fore held by two different men.
It is understood that a majority of
the commission have virtually made
up their minds to keep the positions
separate, to name a superintendent,
and to name Mr. Dunaway for the
place.

DEMOCRATS FLIT
PROPOSED TMIFF
t
WASHINGTON, May 9.—An at
tack on the flexible tariff plan pro
posed by the senate finance commit
tee on the recommendation of Pres
ident Harding was launched late
Monday in the senate and in the
course of the four hours’ debate
Chairman McCumber, in charge of
the tariff bill, announced that some
of the objections raised to the plan
would be considered by the commit
tee before final senate action on it.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon
tana, opened the discussion with tfie
delivery of a prepared address in
which he cited many authorities and
court decisions to support his argu
ment that the provisions were un
constitutional. Senators Underwood,
of Alabama, and Simmons, of North
Carolina, the Democratic leaders,
joined him, arguing that for the first
time in the history of the country
it was proposed to protect the profits
of American manufacturers.
Chairrpan McCumber and Senator
Smoot, Utah, ranking Republican
onthe finance committee, defend
ed the plan, the former insisting
that if the American producer rais
ed his price to an exorbitant figure
it was not contemplated that the
president would increase tariff du
ties to protect him.
Threatened Wife,
So She Killed Him
DUBLIN, Ga., May 9.—Robert
Chapman., a negro, bad man at home,
told his wife Sunday night, it is
said, that he intended to kill her be
fore day. Having threatened and
nearly carried out his purpose be
fore, his wife, Fleeta Chapman,
watched him closely during the
night, and when he finally started
to get his shotgun, she beat him to
it, and fired first. The load skinned
one thigh and landed in his neck
just under the chin, causing instant
death. Fleeta was arrested later
and told how it all happened. No
eye witnesses were present. The
negroes lived several miles from Dub
lin on a farm.
STRANGE MABITAI I
TINGMALEO
LONDON.—A man with a dual
personality, who committed bigamy <
with his own wife has asked the ]
London courts to untangle his life. ]
Professing that the strange situ- ]
ation was worrying him to death and ,
that he couldn’t stand the strain any <
longer, the man, whose name (or ;
names) was withheld by the magis- <
trate, asked the court’s advice after j
telling his remarkable story. ;
The man stated he was married in <
1916 while an instructor in the army, j
Later he was reduced to the ranks .
for a trivial offence, and feeling his 1
position very keenly, deserted and J
joined another regiment in a differ- ■
ent name.
In order that his wife might get
his allowance, he re-married her un
der his new name.
He was ordered to France within
a few weeks and was there wounded, ■
losing the use of his left arm. •]
He was now, he said, receiving a
pension in his assumed name, and
alsc employed in that name at the
pension's office. He showed the
courts Jiis two marriage licenses for
his own wife.
The magistrate expressed great
sympathy for the man and suggested
that ths only possible course was to
continue his life under the name he
had adopted.
“You are a deserter, you have
made a false declaration to the regis
trar of marriages, and you are get
ting a pension in a false name. I
don’t see how I can help you,” he
declared 1 .

DELEGATION TO FUNERAL
LOUISVILLE, Ga., May 9.—News
of the death of Federal Judge Bev
erly D. Evans, which occurred in
Savannah, Sunday night, was re

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.—A copy of
a newspaper prihted 122 years ago
is in the possession of Wallace C.
Johns, of the Johns Undertaking
parlors here. The newspaper has
been handed down from father to
son.
The newspaper is a copy of the Ul
ster County (New York) Gazette,
printed January 4, 1800. The paper
contains four pages, with four col
umns to a page, but has sufficient
space for the display of national
and international events of that day
and time. While the paper is some
what moth eaten and yellow with
age. still its pages can be easily
read.
The paper contains the opening ad
dress of President John Quincy
Adams before the joint session of
congress and the senatorial reply.
Two of -the pages are in mourning
borders on account of the death of
General George Washington, and
there are a number of eulogies con
cerning him. There is a diagram
of the funeral procession of George
Washington First marched the
cavalry contingent and then the in
fantry, followed by a band. Rela
tives and members of the Masonic
order followed in the rear. The fa
vored horse of General Washington
went before the remains.
In the advertising columns is ad

A detailed description of the battle
of Zurich, one of the major engage

Woodrow Wilson
AS 1 KNOW HIM
BY JOSEPH P. TUMULTY.
CHAPTER XLI.
Mrs. Wilson’s anxieties must have
increased with each successive day
of the journey, but not even to us
of the immediate party did she be
tray her fears. Her resolution was
as great as his.
When the great illness came she
had to stand between him arid the
peril of exhaustion from official
cares, yet she could not, like the
more fortunately obscure, withdraw
her husband from bueiness alto
gether and take him v away to some
quiet place for restoration. As head
of the nation he must be kept in
touch with affairs, and during the
early months of his Illness she was
the chief agent in keeping hi.n in
formed of public business. Her high
intelligence and her extraordinary
memory enabled her to report to him
daily, in lucid detail, weighty mat
ters of state brought to her by of
ficials for trasmission to him. At
the proper time, \ hen he was least
in pain and least exhausted, she
would present a clear, oral resume
of each case and lay the documents
before him in orderly arrangement.
As woma.x and wife, the first
thought of her . and the first
care of her heart must be for his
health. Once, at an acute period in
his illness, certain o.ae.Ms insisted
that they must see him because they
carried in lormation which “it was
absolutely necessary that the presi
dent of the United States should
have,” and she quietly replied, “I
am not interested in the president of
the United States. I am interested
in my husband and his health.”
Devoted Nurse
With loving courage she met her
difficult dilemma of shielding him
as much as possible and at the same
time keeping him acquainted with
things he must know. When it be
came possible for him to see people,
she, in counsel with Admiral Gray
son, would arrange for conferences
and carefully watch her husband to
see that they who talked with him
did not trespass too long upon his
limited energy.
When it became evident that the
tider of public opinion was setting
against the league, the president fi
nally decided upon the western trip
as the only means of bringing home
to the people the unparalleled world
situation.
At the executive offices we at once
set in motion preparations for the
western trip. One itinerary after
another was prepared, but upon ex
amining them the president would
find that they were not extensive
enough and would suspect that they
were made by those of us—like Gray
son and myself—who were solicitous
for his health, and he would cast
them aside. All the itineraries pro
vided for a week of rest in the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, but when
a brief vacation was intimated to
him he was obdurate in his refusal
to include even a day of relaxation,
sayipg to me that “the people would
never forgive me if I took a rest on
a trip such as the one I contemplate
taking. This is a business trip, pure
and simple, and the itinerary must
not include rest of any kind.” He
insisted that there be no suggestion
of a pleasure trip attaching to a
journey which he regarded as a mis
sion.
Refuses to Rest
As I now look back upon this jour
ney and its disastrous effects upon
the president’s health, I believe that
if he had only consented to include
a rest period in our arrangements
he might not have broken down at
Pueblo.
Never had I seen the president
look so weary as on the night we
left Washington for our swing into
the west. When we were about to
board our special train, the presi
dent turned to me and said: "I am
in a nice fix. I am scheduled be
tween now and the 28th of Septem
ber to make in the neighborhood
of an hundred speeches to various
bodies, stretching all the way from
Ohio to the coast, and yet the pres
sure of other affairs upon me at the
White House has been so great that
I have not had a single minute to
prepare my speeches. Ido not know
how I shall get the time, for dur
ing the past few weeks I have been
suffering from daily headaches; but
perhaps tonight’s rest will make me
fit for the work of tomorrow.”
No weariness or brain-fag, howev
er, was apparent in the speech at
Columbus, Ohio. To those of us who
sat on the platform, including the
newspaper group who accompanied
the president, this speech, with its
beautiful phrasing and its effective
delivery, seemed to have been care
fully prepared.
Day after day, for nearly a month,
there were speeches of a similar
kind, growing more intense in their
emotion with each day. Shortly aft
er we left Tacoma, Wash., the fa
tigue of the trip began to write it
self in the president’s face. He suf
fered from violent headaches each
day, but his speeches never betrayed
his illness. As one reads the west
ern speeches of the president he
must be convinced that a great con
viction and nothing else could have
enabled a man as ill as was the
president to rise to such heights of
argument and utterance.
No Recreation
In those troublous days and until
the very end of our western trip
the president would not permit the
slightest variation from our daily
program. Nor did he ever permit
the constant headaches, which
would have put an ordinary man out
of sorts, to work unkindly upon the
members of his immediate party,
which included Mrs. Wilson, Dr.

Grayson and myself. He would ap
pear regularly at each meal, par
taking of it only slightly, always
gracious, always good-natured and
smiling, responding to every call
from the outside for speeches—calls
that came from early morning until
late at night—from the plain peo
ple grouped about every station and
watering place through which we
passed. Even under the most adverse
physical conditions he was always
kind, gentle and considerate to
those about him.
I have often wished, as the criti
cisms of the Pullman smoking car,
the cloak room and the counting
house were carried to me, picturing
the president’s coldness, his aloof
ness and exclusiveness, that the crit
ics could for a moment have seen
the heart and great good-nature of
the man giving expression to them
selves on this critical journey. If
they could have peeped through the
curtain of our dining room, at one
of the evening meals, for instance,
they would have been ashamed of
their misrepresentations of this kind,
patient, considerate, human-hearted
man.
When he was “half-fit,” an ex
pression he often used, he was the
best fellow m the little group on
our tram —good-natured, smiling, full
of ancedotes and repartee and al
ways thinking of the comforts and
pleasure of the men gathered about
him. The illness of a newspaper
man, or one of the messengers or
conductors, or attaches of the train
was a call to service to him, and
one could find the president in one of
the little compartments of the train,
seated at the bed of a newspapei'
man or some attache who had been
taken ill on the trip. There is in
the president a sincere human sym
pathy, which is better than the
cheap good-fellowship which many
public men carefully cultivate.
Bullitt Revelations
It was on the western trip, about
September 12, while the president,
with every ounce of his energy, was
attempting to put across the League
of Nations, that William C. Bullitt
was disclosing to a committee on for
eign relations, at a public hearing,
the facts of a conference between
Secretary Lansing and himself, in
which Mr. Bullitt declared that Mr.
Lansing had severely criticized the
League of Nations.
The press representatives aboard
the train called Mr. Bullitt’s testi
mony to the president’s Attention.
He made no comment, but it was
plain from his attitude that he was
incensed and distressed beyond meas
ure. Here he was in the heart of the
west, advancing the cause so dear to
his heart, steadily making gains
against what appeared to be insur
mountable odds; and now his inti
mate associate, Mr. Lansing, was
engaged in sniping and attacking
him from behijid.
Message From Lansing
On September 16 Mr. Lansing
telegraphed the following message to
the president:
“On May 17, Bullitt resigned by let
ter, giving his reasons, with which
you are familiar. I replied by letter
on the 18th without anv comment
on his reasons. Bullitt on the 19th
asked to see me to say good-bye,
and I saw him. He elaborated on the
reasons for his resignation and said
that he could not conscientiously
give countenance to a treaty which
was based on injustice. I told him
that I would say nothing against his
resigning, since he pnt it on conscien
tious grounds, and that I recognized
that certain features of the treaty
were bad, as I presumed most every
one did, but that was probably un
avoidable in view of conflicting
claims, and that nothing ought to
be done to prevent the speedy resto
ration of peace by signing the treaty,
Bullitt then discussed the numerous
European commissions provided for
by the treaty on which the United
States was to be represented. I told
him that I was disturbed by his
fa<?t, because I was afraid the sen
ate and possibly the people, if they
understood this, would refuse ratifi
cation, and that anything which was
an obstacle to ratification was un
fortunate because we ought to have
peace as soon as possible.”

Meteors
Scientists search for large mete
ors, recently fallen in California,
New Jersey and other states.
Earth this year is being heavily
bombarded by these celestial wan
derers that fall after they get into
our gravitational field.
In Mecca, worshipping Moham
medans for centuries have been
kneeling and kissing a sacred stone.
They think it originally “came di
rect from heaven.” In one sense
they are right, for it was a meteor,
the rare white kind, now black with
filth.
Many meteors fall yearly in our
country. But no one pays much
attention to these shooting stars,
for we know what they are. They
have lost their mystery.
A Mohammedan, seeing a meteor
fall, digs it up and worships it. An
American digs it up and sells it.
Drivers
Women are just as good as men at driv
ing autos, and just as careful. This is
the opinion of Chauncey G. Hubbell, offi

Hubbell’s opinion will please women un

that women drivers are no worse than the

WCH'TTBIIST '
GOMEL IT 111
It’s Quicksilver, Salivates,
causes Rheumatism and i
Bone Decay
The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may sljock your
liver to start bone necrosis. Calo.
mel is dangerous. It is mercury,
quicksilver. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle
of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few
cents which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don’t take calomel! It can not b«
trusted any more than a leopard or
a wild-cat. Take Dodson’s Liver
Tcne which straightens you right up
and makes you feel fine. No salts
necessary. Give it to the children
because it Is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.—(Advertisement.)

and truss after truss. No results! Final
ly, he was assured that he must either
submit to a dangerous and abhorrent op
eration or die. He did neither! He cured ?
himself instead. *
