Fear Alone Cannot
Make Peace Last,
Coolidge Declares
Philadelphia, April 28 —Men
wlll not long recognize the
sword as the major source of
authority, writes Calvin Cool
idge in the May issue of Ladies’
Home Journal.
“So long as there is evil in
the world,”" the former presi
dent says, ‘‘armies and navies
will be required for domestic
and international police service,
but peace will never be made
permanent by fear alone. It
must have a main foundation of
justice and good will strong
enough to satisfy the reason
and conscience of humanity.”’
Speaking of his part in the
calling of the Geneva confer
ence, Mr. Coolidge continues:
«Before recommending the
last building program I called
the Geneva conference in order
to give each nation fuil oppor
tunity to make an agreement.
I realized their greai financial
stress and was especially de
sirous that none of them could
point an accusing finger atthe
United States and say that we
were building a war fleet in
competition with them and com
pelling them to enlarge their
fleet and increase their buadens.
‘‘Because they were unable to
meet our proposals, that does
not constitute any point.-at issue
between them and us. We,
,Mgw sincerely striving
to work out a world ~policy.
‘Each of them is bound by the
covenent of the league to
establish such a poiicy. Qur
government has been at all
times earnestly solicitous to
co-operate to that end.
“The time has gone by when
any one nation is likely to be
able to control the sea. To set
up that claim would be oniy a
fiction and to pursue it would
be only a delusion. The. ques
tion of parity partakes on the
same nature. So much depends
on the men behind the guns and
‘the courage and skill with which
they are commanded, that a
seeming paper parity will never
be Becisive in any armed con
flict.
To Incorporate Denton
The News is publishing this
week a notice of local legisla
tion, whereby our Representa
tive, Hon, J. A. Cromartie, will

citizens are pulling together.

Twitty Is Silent
On New Successor
| Saaea
\
. Peter S. Twitty, state game
'and fish commissioner, who
‘was reelected to that post for a
lfour-year term by the old board
es game and fish Monday was
occupying his office at the
capitol Tuesday as usual and
had no statement to make con
cerning the action of a majority
of the members of the new
board in electing C. E. Gregory,
of Atlanta, as his successor at
a session also held Monday.
Commissioner Twitty said he
had no statement to make at
the present but probably would
have something to say in a
public statement to be made
later. Mr. Gregory had nothing
to say except to declare that he|
is “‘sitting tight’’ and probably
would back a court fight to win
the post January 1, 1930, at the
expiration of the present term
of Commissioner Twitty.
Commissioner Twitty was
reelected to a four-yeer term by
the board eomposed of Chas. S.
Arnow, of St. Marys, and Dr.
I. E. Harden, of Whigham,
majority members. Mr. Gre
gory was named by the board
consisting of Dan Byrd of At
lanta, and D. E. Finley of Val
dosta, majority members.
The controversy developed
when Governor Hardman named
Finley as - suecessor tc Dr.
Harden on the board. Dr.
Harden sat in the session Mon
day, taking the position that
his successor is not qualified to
take his office until his name
has been confimed by the state
senate, which meets the fourth
Wednesday in June.
SNAKE EATS EGGS, ‘
MEETS ITS DOOM \
~ AND EGGS HATCH‘
Statesboro, Ga., May 12.——L.?
Brown, well known farmer of§
Bulioch county, who lives near
Statesboro, claims the blue
ribbon for a snake story. Ed
Cartledge, of this city, bought
two turkey hens and.a gobbler
and gave them to Mr. Brown to
raise .on halves. Soon one of
the hens commenced to lay and
{inally went to setting and after
faithfully waiting for two or
three weeks for her brood to
hatch the Brown family heard a
commotion in the yard.
The hen was raising a racket.
‘Mr. Brown went to the nest
and found a snake had swallow
ed all the eggs and was crawl
;ring away. The reptile was
killed and cut open and the
eggs placed back in the nest.
This was a week ago. Saturday
afternoon Mr. Brown was in
town and reported to Mr. Cart
ledge that all the eggs had
hatched and the brood was
thriving. The story was cor
roborated by Mrs. Brown, who
was also in the city.
