How to Combine
Utility With Fancy
Many mistaken notions have been enter
tained by the breeders of utility and fancy
fowls. So much so that one might almost
think they were a different kind of animal.
The fancy breeder has had the best of it
because for high-grade stock he has had to
breed for the very qualities that utility fowl
should possess that is, good layers—in addi
tion to the points for fine appearance. The
plain looking good layer has been discounted
too much. However, beauty and productive
ness can be combined. Next week’s article will
tell how.
Look for it, appearing exclusively next
Monday in The Herald.

eliminate the tedious process of re

SLATON MAY MARKET
REFUNDING BOND ISSUE
Atlanta, Ga.—Governor John M.
Slaton leaves tonight for New York
City to take a look at the financial
situation with a view to marketing a
state re-funding bond issue of three
and one-half million dollars. He went
East on a similar mission some time
ago, hut found the market had and
declined to accept a price which would
make the state pay six and one-half
per cent Interest on the bonds. Ho
believe* that par can be obtained
now.
A curious reporter today developed
the fact that when Governor Slaton
goes to New York on the state's bus
iness he pays bis own expenses, prob
ably because he desires to be free to
sotp where he pleases and live as he
pleases without’ feeling that he Is be
ing extravagant with the state's
funds, so that Sunday, when he would
not attend to business anyway, may
be utilised for ths trip.

SLATON SCORNS
CA. KNOCKERS
Says This State is Not Only
One Where Crime is Confined
and Not Only Place for Lynch
ings.
Atlanta, Ga. —" There is no geog
raphy of crime,” said Governor Sla
ton today, in discussing with callers
the attacks by Eastern papers on the
state of Georgia, following the re
cent lynching at Montlcello. The
governor deeply deplores the lynch
ings, of course, and has taken prompt
steps to bring the offenders to jus
tice, but he, like all good Georgians,
resents the attacks upon the state.
Georgia has come in for more than
its share of roasts because of the
Frank case, a dozen or so hysterica]
magazine writers and other “ex
perts” with small knowledge of the
facts holding up Georgia courts as
relics of the Spanish inquisition, and
the lynching at Montlcello was the
signal for another outburst.
“Crime is not confined to Georgia,
nor is this the only state where lynch
ings occur,” said the governor. He
pointed out the recent violence at
Roosevelt, N. Y„ where a mob of
strike-breakers shot into a party of
innocent strikers and killed several,
and the mining riots of Colorado,
where many lives were lost.
Governor Slaton has offered re
wards aggregating $2,500 for the con
viction of members of the Montlcello
mob. Five hundred dollars is offered
for each of the first five convictions.
The state was given only $3,000 as an
appropriation for rewards this year,
and this leaves only SSOO in the treas
ury if the full amount is claimed.
