By HARRY K. STORMONT.
(Farm Power Department The Homer
McKee Company, Indianapolis,)
Farmers and planters of Georgia
and the Southeastern States swarmed
in to the Southeastern Fair today
for a real old fashioned Southern
outing and despite the great crowds
of eity folks it was evident that the
tillers of the soil were largely in the
majority. |
Exhibitors at the big fair who havq
“made’ many state fairs in the North
and West Qeclared today that no sec
tional fair in their experience had
drawn such a crowd of the men who
make up the real bone and sinew of
the nation—meaning the tillers of
the soil. ‘
“I thought Indiana was some age
ricultural State,” said Lon R. Smith,
general sales manager of the Midwest
Utilitor Company .of Indianapolis, |
“and as a matter of fact the Hoosiers
do raise a lot of corn and wheat and
are highly modern in the lates)
phases of agriculture, but I must say.
that it appears to me the farmers of
Georgia aad the Southeastern States
are more interested in the gemeral
subject of power farming than in
any section where we have exhibited
ou tnew one horse tractor, the Util
itor”. \ A |
The entire power farming sector of
the Southeastern Fair was fairly
overrun with visitors during the da_\'.‘l
The tractor display is located just
ipside the main gates at the fair
oand this is the first thing most Vis
itors want to look at. ]
MIDGET TRACTOR ATTRACTS.
“The Midway may get them later."!
said Mr. Smith, “but first they take
in the iractor displays. And what
T mean is they take it in right. They
want to know all about the gigantic
high powered tractors and then they
turn to the midget Utilitor. = This
machine, which is intended to d}:o
soil cultivation work of one horse
and the belt work of a four horse
power gasoline motr, is new t Dixie
land, but our Indianapolis factory is
preparirg quantity production for a
potentiar demand for three million
of these machines. In fact, our mar
ket survey indicates the Utilitor will
soon be known as the Ford of the
fields.”
While larger machines are intended
to do plowing work that would
‘“stump” three or four horses, it lis
learned that the chief interest In
Georgia and nearby States is a small
er machine that will take the place of
one thorse and to this fact is attri
buted the great interest in the Utili
tor. ’
The dealers who are making dis
plays of agricultural implements
aside tractors all report a lively in
terest on the part of the farmers
visiting the fair. New implements
for cultivation work are making a
strong appeal and then, 00, the new
er rfarm lighting systems are com
ing in for a great share of attention.
GOOD ROADS BIG NEED.
JSWith farm lighting plants, farm
water systems, and telewiagnes to the
rearest town and rural mail deliv
ering daily papers to us évery dav,
about all the farmers of Georgia
need now is all-year-'round roads,"”
was the declaration of one progres
gsive farmer during the day. He
was assured that in another year the
good roads for Georgia would be well
on their way and that he could in
vest in trucks and tractors with the
assurance that he would be able to
“gel somewhere” most anytime before
long.
Closely ailled with the display of
powey farming machinery and im
plements is the display of farm pro
ducts in the big agricultural build
ing, whicl, is declared to be the most
\Pommn:o every shown in the South
"(auto:‘n States. “This goes to show
that Georgians especially are alive
to the imperative need for raising

BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 16.—With H.
P. Burruss, city commissioner, testi
fying Lawrence A. Fealy's reputation
was bad, William Gray Obear deny
ing that he had ever threatened the
life of Mrs. Obear, and T. H. Bailey
of the Protective Credit Association
asserting that Fealy believed in the
doctrine of reincarnation, testimony
in the Obear-Fealy trial closed in
Chancery Court Wednesday, before
Judge Hugh A. Locke and arguments
were begun.
Thus the suit in which W. G. Obear,
a formier army major, is seeking to
restrain ealy, a hishop of the Altru
rian Society, from exercising his so
called hypnotic powers over Mrs.
QObear, jn turn causing her to squan
der large sums of money on him anpd
the society and tc prevent Mrs. Obear
from dissipating this fortune, nears
the end. Burrus took the stand and
in answer to a question by William
S. Coburn, counsel for .Major Obear,
testified that he had known Fealy
for sixteen or eighteen months,
“Do you know his general reputa
tion?” he was asked. “If so, what
is 3t .
“REPUTE |IS BAD.”
“His reputation is bad,” Commis
sioner Burrus answered, on cross
examination by counsel for Fealy and
Mrs. Obear. Mr. Burruss admitted
that he lived one block from George
S. Obear Sr., and that they were
warm friends. ‘““That is all I desire
to ask the witness,” said the attorney.
T. H. Bailey, secretary of the Pro
tective Credit Association, testified
he had known Fealy for years and
had been a student of the Altruistic
course. Baliley declared that Fealy
was a believer in the doctrine of re
incarration and that he had said in
his presence that he was a priest.
Bailey then declared he had heard
all the students express a belief in
reincarnation and that Fealy's Looks
contained references to this doctrine,
Christmas, 1916, Fealy said to "Bailcy
that Mrs. Obear had sent him & check
for SSOO, he testified, and Mrs. Obear
was to finance the farm in Blount
County. He knew Fealy's reputation
as te truth and veracity, he said,
“It is bad,” he added. !
OBEAR ON STAND.
Major Obear then was recalled to
the stand and denied that he had a
yistol August 9, when he visited his
home on Cliff road and was arrested
at. the instance of Mrs. Obear. He
said she owned the pistol, which was
locked in his trunk at“the time. He
denied he had ever threatened to Kkill
her or to commite murder or do any
violence. Efforts were made to show
that Major Obear had written Sena
tor Hoke -Smith of Georg#tan letters
while in the army, asking for trans
fer to the infantry in order that he
might serve in France and had re-|
ceived replies. This evidence was
ruled out as immaterial by .lud;:e‘
lL.ecke upon objection by counsel for
the defendants. Major Obear told of
a visit to the Clliff road home after
Judge Ferguson had granted an in
junction restraining Mrs. Obear from
interfering with his right to see their
children. He declared he was ac
companied by Claud Smith, Atlanta
attorney, and that he offerdd no vio
ience and uged no harsh language.
Officer’s Death Due to
.
Self-Inflicted Wounds
COLUMBIA, 8. €, Oct. 18.—Maj.
H. L. Bryson of Camp Jackson head
quarters, who was shot at camp last
Friday, eame to his death from self
inflicted wounds, according to a re
port made public at camp head
quarters Wednesday, following an in
vestigation made by a board of re
view. The report of the board was
that the causé of the suicide was
“depressed phychosin.”
Major Bryson’ had been suffering
with mental dgpression ever since he
came to Camp Jackson two months
ago, and it is stated that his condi
tion was brought on by domestic
troubles.
Geddes Urges Britain to
Seek Big Foreign Trade
LONDON, Oect. 16.—8ir Auckland
Geddes, president of the Board of
Trade, said in a speech here:
“Within two months Britain will
have to find employment for more
than 1,000,000 men and women who
are now not engaged in productive
industries. One of the most urgent
needs of Hritain's industry is the
formation of a great transport policy
to aid the British export trade,
“If Britain wants to reach the
pre-war level of prosperity it is es
sential that a large foreign trade
be established at the earliest possible
moment.”
more food if the high cost of liv
ing is to be lowered,” declared a
fair visitor, ‘“and believe me, the
farmers of Georgia are now thorough
ly convinced that the horse has seen
its best ddy and must give way to
the power of gasoline motors. It
surely is ridiculous for a farmer to
work s» hard for his horses which
only eat their heads off and don't
prod;#;o half as much as a motor
jzed Thachine can produce. By next
yvear's fair tho farms of Georgia will
have mighty few horses and mules
on them, if I read the signs of the
times aright.” 4
With the fair scheduled ta be open
for several more days the tractor
men are urging all farmers to visijt
the powe: farming section and ma¥ke
a study of the vaious tractors and
labor saving machinery.
ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1919. the Postattie &t Atrania
Nage: This is the second and con
cluding article by Dr. Serge Voronoff,
in which he discusses the stupendous
possibilities opened by his sensational
discovery of a process of youth resto
retion.
By DR. SERGE VORONOFF.
Member of the College of France and
the French Academy of Medicine.)
(Special Cable Dispatch.)
PARIS, Oct, 16.—BEncouraged hy
success of my efforts which I de
scribed in yesterday’'s article, I con
tinued my experiments on various
portions of the human body, begin
ning with the bones, skin and glands.
The' idea that vital energy is sup
plied both to animals and men by
the interstitial gland was suggested
to me by the study of the eunuchs in
Egypt, where 1 generally spend my
winters. Such men decay quickly.
They are old at 30 and generally die
young. Rarely does one find one old
er than"so. They are unable to fier
form even light duties which a young
boy or girl can do witliout effort.
Spurred on by Dr. Brown-Se
quard’s personal experiments with
his serum which enabled him to pro
claim that he had” discovered the se
cret of eternal youth. I devoted my
self exclusively to the subject of
grafting interstitial glands on rams.
I suceceeded in rejuvenating a num
ber of animals which the veterinary
had declared would be dead within a
week.
The astonishing results attalied
proved the soundness of my theory,
whereupon I proceeded, for the sake
of sure proof to eliminate grafted
glards, with the results that the ani
mals immediately decayed, but as
soon as the glands were regrafted
again, the subjects resumed youthful
vigor.
GLANDS GIVE VIGOR.
My experiments prove conclusively
that the vigor of animals depends
solely upon the vigor of their inter
stitial glands, irrespective of their
ability of proareation, The Dossinil
ity of procreation 13 given only by
interstitials which malke mating pos
sible., |
Therefore, men may, one day, be
able to procreate at any aae, and once‘
they have obtained youthful strength,
it will remain with them to the laat.|
Here we come to the most difficult
problam of all: Where are we to ob
tain the glands? The ape is of great
help, but unquestionably man is much!
better., The only way out seems to.
be to reform the present legislationl
and allow medical men to take pos-,
session cf the bodies of accident vic. |
tims. . Those would be more than
enough to supply the rest of the pop-‘
ulation.
HOSPITAL IS NEEDED.
A large hospital should be built in
the center of each city to which the
dead victims of railroad or street ac
cidents would be brought immediate
ly after the accidents.
It is known that portions of the}
human body live after actual doath.‘
Bones live eighteen hours, the heart
twelve and the glands from four 101
eight hours. '
The scientist in attendance would
have to removie the vital portionsl
from the bodies without a moment’sl
delay, and store them in a special
cold storage, the temperature of‘
which must be kept at the freezing
point, * |
Thus, whenever a case of gratting‘
occurs, the wanted portion will al
ways be ready on hand, from a kid- |
ney tibia to an interstitial gland. {
England raised a protest when I‘
suggested this procedure, but perhaps
the American public will better un-|
derstand that what I suggest sis not
a profanation of the dead, but on the|
contrary nothing could be finer and
more consoling than the realization
rthat a portion of one's departed deflr‘
continues to live after death.
To sum up: while I can ndk z'ivef
definite assurances today, mankind
may hope for much, for the greatest
step toward perpetual youth, which
may soon develop into a scientific
fact. 1
Chicagoan Claims Title
. ’
As ‘Youth Discoverer’ -
(By Univer®al Service.)
CHICAGO, Oct. 16—~To America,
and not France, belongs the honor
of the discovery of the fountain of
“perpetual youth,” according to Dr.
G. F. Lydston, eminent Chicago sur
geon. A
He said last night he had discov
ered -the process of gland implanta
tion in 1914. He claims to have
made further progress in its devel
opment than that claimed by Dr,
Serge Voronoff, the ¥French scientist.
“l am grieved and angered,” said
Dr, Lydston, “that the laurels should
go to my French confrere, when they
rightly belong to an American. The
lamentable irfiny of the thing is that
Americans will not recognize a thing
of this sort until it comes to them
from abroad.”
Dr. Lydston claimed even more
startling results than did* Dr. Voron
off.
“My results,” he said, “have been
so startling, some of them, that I
have not yet ventured to give them
in their entirety even to the medical
world. It is obvious, therefore, that
I cannot give them to tue public.”
“It is possible to accomplish what
Dr. Voronoff claims,” he said,
“There is an immense ficld for
further research and the possibilities
are tremendous,”

Jamies H. Huntley, Well
Known Actor; Is Dead
MOBILE, Ala., Oct, 16.—James H.
Huntley of Mobile, widely known in
theatrical circles as an actor, lead

vesterday at Providence, R, I
Two daughters in Mobile, a sister
and other relatives in Chicago and
many relatives in New York survive

If you noticed' a small, alert
women marching in the great pro
cession during the reunion—and you
couldn’t have missed her, princi
pally because she was the only
woman dressed in a Confederate
uniform—you will be interested to
know that it was Miss Mary Hall,
the only thoroughly unrecon
structed Rebel in the United States,
who has lived up to her declara
tion that she would not take the
oath of allegiance. g
‘Miss Hall will tell you that she
is a citizen of Georgia, but not of
the United States.
“I swore that I would not take
the oath of allegiance, and that
I would never let the U. 8, flag
wave over my head, and 1 have
kept that oath.”
When Ephraim Tweedy had his
federal bureawr in Augusta at the
close of the war of the sixties, he
had a large United States flag
hung across the pavement, and not
one of the women of Augusta
would pass under it. When Miss
Hall had to pass that way she
walked mnonchalantly under the
waving flag to the amazement of
everyone in sight.
“Why, Miss Mary, how could
you?' the people standing near
cried,
Without a word Miss Hall lifted
her confederate hat and waved it
in the astonished faces of the_offi
cers of the federal bureau. Inside
the crown was secured a beautiful
silk flag of the confederacy, and
you will never find Miss Hall with
out her confederate flag fastened
in her hair on the top of her head.
“l 1 have never invited a Yankece
into my home to break bread with
.me,” sald Miss Hall, “except once,
when the Pennsylvania troops were
stationed in Augusta during the
recent war. He was a nice man,
and very friendly to the South.”
Since then Miss Hall has added
another Yankee to her list of
friends, and she will tell you that
“Albert,””. another Pennsylvanian,
has become a veéry dear friend and
sent her 60 letters and about 65
cards, from the battle fields of
France, where he served in the
army for two years.
Miss Hall declared that the late
Dr. James G. Armstrong of Atlan
ta was unquestionably John
Wilkes Booth. ;
“l knew him well,” said Miss
Hall, “and I had a talk with him
fifteen years after the assassina
tion of Lincoln. When I visited
Washington at the reunion one of
the guides showed our party the
plfce where Booth was hilled. '‘He
was not killed here 1 sald, ‘and
you know it. I met and talked
with John Wilkes Booth fifteen
vears after the war, when he was
in Augusta, Ga.
“My brother went to college with
Booth, and loved him very much,
but my brother was Killed in the
war and--" Miss Hall stopped to
wipe away a suspicious moisture

DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 16.—Clerical
and lay deputies who favor the
League of Nations are highly indig
nant at a successful attempt to g£hoke
off any debate on .the league in the
{Hause of Deputies.
In order to avoid the spectacia &*
‘shurp division of opinion the com:
mittee on dispatch of business offered
a resolution prohibiting any discus
sion of resolutions on the treaty of
peace and the League of Nations.
Rev. Dr. Gordon G. Smeade, clerical
deputy from Mississippi, who has in
troduced a resolution endorsing the
league, protested vigorously against
any attempt to muzzle the conven
tion, but the .proposal was adopted
by a vote of 309 rto 118,
Commenting on this action, Dr.
Smeade, who said he spoke for many
deputies, made this statement:
[ I think the resolutions adopted
|by the house is a most dangerous
precedent; it muzzles free speech.”
Asked if he would supporf the reso
‘lution on the league adgpted in the
House of Bishops, he said:
| “No such spineless, meaningless
[resoluflon in this hour of the world's
peril will meet with. my endorsement.
The League of Nations is as high
above politics as the Heaven is aboye
the earth.” ’
$62,000,000 NEEDED. -
Dr. Smeade announced his inten
tion to press his resolution and force
the deputies to go on record.
Sixty-two million dollars is required
to carry out the plans of the nation
wide campaign which was presented
to the joint session. Rev. R. Blend
Mitchell of New York outlined the
survey of parishes and dioceses. One
and one-half million dollars will be
spent on work among the foreign
born, $2,000,000 on negroes, 23,000.000
on religious education and $2,000,000
on work.among seamen. :
’ Eight and a -half millions are set
aside for missions in China and Japan
and two millions for Latin America.
Within the United States provision is
'made for financing of 1930 new
;projects within the dioceses and dis~
‘tricts of the church, at a cost of more
‘than $20,000,000,
. The program also provides for an
‘addition to the working staff of the
’(:hurch in the United States of 1,248
‘men and women to be maintained at
a cost of $5,000,000, |
REPORT ON HEALING.
’ The House of Bishops declined to
take action on the memorial to make
|it possible for women to be elected ,
deputies to the general convention
until the clerical and lay deputies
legislate on the matter.
The house adopted a resolution ap
pointing three bishops, three presby
'tprs and three laymen to ‘consider
‘the fuller recognition of the ministry
of healing in the church and the need
of its revival under proper sanctions
and safeguards,” and (6 report upon
‘the resolution as soon as possible. ‘
