prevailed during the primary on
Wednesday, perfect order prevailed
and a friendly spirit was manifest by
candidates and their friends.
The voters were brought in large

tained a most cordial attitude and
jokes were played to add meriment
to the somewhat serious occasion.
The day passed without mishap

VIOLENCE MARKS TEXTILE
STRIKE IN STATE MILLS
(Br G. N. A.)
As the nation tensely watched the
textile strike situation during the
past few days. Georgia occupied a
te*y position with over 30.000 work-
in strike and a much smaller
number clinging to their jobs in the
fact of picketing strikers.
Calls for state troops poured into
the office of Governor Talmadgr.
from number of mill towns, but he
declined to summon the national
guard, declaring that the sheriffs of
the various counties had mull au
thority to deputize as many citizens
they considered necessary to pre
serve order.
On several occasions the governor
urged the textile workers to remain
calm until their differences could
be settled, and promised them all the
d in his power.
The importance of the Georgia
textile industry was recognized in
the selection by President Roosevelt
of Marion Smith, outstanding At
lanta attorney, as one of the three
members of the national board of
mediation.
Georgia is the sixth state in the
Union in textile production and with
in the past few months the textile
workers have been organized by
labor leaders in anticipation of the
strike.
The national strike, one of the
most widespread in the history of
the nation, was called in protest
against the "stretch-out” system by
which workers were compelled to
care for more and more machines,
according to labor’s complaint.
THREE NEGROES ARRESTED
ON THE CHARGE OF ROBBERY
Stolen Articles Taken Fran The Em
pire Store on Angnst 2nd Recov
ered by Policemen.
Three negroes Earnest Collins,
aged 25; Robert Collins 19, and
Tommy Lee Sanford, 22, are in the
county jail.
The negroes were arrested Sat
urday by Chief-of-Pollce Broome, on
the charge of forcing an entrance
into the Empire Store, managed by
Mr. M. T. Nash, on August 2nd and
carrying off two hundred dollars
worth of merchandise.
The officers, headed by Chief
Broome, have been working on the
case since the robbery, and located
one of the suits of clothes in a local
dry cleaning plant. Further investi
gation led to the arrest of the three
negroes and the recovery of six
shirts which were among the ar
ticles stolen, at the ’ time two suit
cases and seven suits of clothes
were carried off. The officers have
been unable to locate the other ar
ticles.
The negroes were unable to make
bonds of $250.00 each, and will prob
ably remain in jail until the Jan
uary term of the Superior Court,
when they will be tried on the
charge of robbery.
TRAFFIC IN “DREAM”
CIGARETS UNCOVERED
(By C. N. A.)
E. Page. Georgia collector of
internal revenue, has authorized
ginners in the s*ate to tag and re
lease to the farmer 50 per cent of
his cotton and hold the remainder
as security pending receipt of more
exemption certificates.
This will greatly relieve cotton
ginners from a large accumulation
of cotton. The ginner will release
half the cotton, which the farmer
may sell to raise immediate cash. ; f
necessary.
The delay in printing the certifi
cates has caused some concern
throughout the cotton section, but
this ruling will remedy the situation.
Fulton county grand jury threw its
support behind the move to wipe out
in Atlanta the newly discoverd
traffic in the narcotic weed mari
huana when it indicted E. L. Griner,
hot tamale man” who was accused
of peddling cigarettes containing
the weed, and Louis Ambus, 47-
year-old Mexican, wholesale manu
facturer of hot tamales, for whom
Griner worked.
Georgia’s need for the new uni
form state narcotic law is strikingly
brought home with the arrest of
the two men in connection with the
growth and sale in Atlanta of the
dangerous habit-forming marihuana
weed, T. E. Middlebrooks, super
visor of the Georgia-Florida federal
narcotic district, said.
“Neither the present federal oi
state law of Georgia offers protec
tion against the insiduous marihuana
weed." Middlebrooks said.
Prosecution now must be made
under mere misdemeanor charges of
selling a poison in violation of state
pharmacy law and failing to label
a drug."
Numbers Racket Latest
"Dream powders” are the latest
variation of the "number game’’
practiced in Atlanta. Reports to the
office of Solicitor General John A.
Boykin indicate that several young
business men are reaping a good
financial harvest through purveying
the powders.
Customers are nearly always ne
groes. The "dream powder” is sold
in a small white envelope with care
ful instructions for use printed on
the outside. If these instructions are
followed, it is promised, the purchas-
will dream of a certain number.
Then by betting on this number the
