Tariff Act and Farm Relief
Failure Factor for Victory
Washington, Nov.—ln finding
reasons for the impressive Dem
ocratic victory in the late elec
tion, the Baltimore Sun includes
the Hawley-Smoot tariff act and
the failure of the administrat
ion’s farm relief law among the
prime factors.
“It would be inaccurate and
inadequate to treat the chastise
ment of the Republican Party as
no more than an act of poetic
justice,” says the Sun. “Mixed
with the more or less blind back
swing against a party which had
sought to make its name a syno
nym for prosperity was a certain
conspicuous condemnation of
specific party actions. . . . When
harsh realities took the place of
castles of money in the air some
of the people began to think of
such measures as the Smoot
Hawley Tariff Act. That flagrant
and callous repudiation of the
promises of Mr. Hoover and the
Republican Party, which Mr.
Hoover signed in disregard of
his obligations, after his Party
had put it through Congress in
disregard of its obligations,. . .
“People began to think too
about such measures as the mis
called farm relief law, under au
thority of which an administra
tion that prates constantly about
the glories of individahsm in
business life has gone in for price
fixing and open-market specula
tions with the taxpayers’ money
and has squandered millions.”
I The Sun concludes that “this
election has reminded the Re
publican Party that it is, after
all. subject to the will of the peo
ple. There is no better way of
saying that it was a good elec
tion.”

ALAMO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1930
COOK CONVECUED
IN TELFAIR COURT
W. L. Cook, charged with the
murder of A. C. Clements, both
white men, in Telfair county, was
convicted of involuntary man
slaughter in Telfair county supe
rior court last Wednesday morn
ing. He was sentenced to from
one to five years.
Clements was a tentant on the
Cook farm, and it is understood
that the difficulty arose over
some wire fencing. Notice of an
appeal was given.
The State was represented by
Solicitor Boyer, assisted by W.O.
Purser of Alamo, and L. C. Har
rel, of Mcßae; the defence was
represented by W. S. Mann and
J. K. Whaley of Mcßae.
Tuberculosis-Pellagra
A review of the deaths in Geo
rgia for the last ten years from
tuberculosis and pellagra shows
that tuberculosis is on the de
cline in our state while pellagra
is increasing. During this period
the greatest number of deaths
from pellagra occurred in 1922,
when 2683 died of this disease,
991 being white and 1695 colored.
The lowest for the period was in
1929, when we had 2190, a reduc
tion of 493. Os this number 742
were white and 1448 negroes.
The number for our colored
population is usually about twice
that of the whites. The largest
number of deaths for negroes
was in 1624, when 1703 died. Last
year’s deaths show a saving pf
255 lives. ’ *
We have a serious problem in
deaths from pellagra, as we have
economic conditions to deal with
It is an accepted fact that this
disease is controlled by an ad
equate, well balanced ration,
which must include milk, fresh
meat and leaf vegetables. The
number of deaths in the last ten
years from pellagra is 5,377, the
deaths as between the races be
ing 2,491 white and 2,886 ne
groes, a difference of 395 more
colored than white. The higest
death rate for the ten-year period
was in 1929, when 871 Georgians
died, 334 being white and 537
negroes. The lowest number of
deaths in the ten-year period oc
curred in 1924, when 337 people
died of this disease, 181 white
and 126 colored, or an increase
of 534 deaths in five years.
This disease is one of the
important problems for us to
meet It is not confined to any
particular age group or any
particular class of citizenship, as
it occurs in the well-to do classes
who have faulty food habits and
do not in consequence get a well
balanced ration. It is not confined
to any particular age group, as
we have it recorded as the canse
of death in. —Georgia’ B Healh

TWO DWELLINGS
BURN THISMORNING
At three o’clock this morning
the inhabitants of Alamo were
aroused from their slumber by
an alarm of fire, which was dis
covered in the dwelling house
occupied by the family of Mr. W.
G. Pullen, on Broad street. In a
short while a large crowd were
on the scene, but the flames had
gained such headway that noth
ing could be saved from the build
ing. Only Mr.Pullen a ndson were
at home, and were aroused just
in time to escape with a few
articles from his room.
An adjoining building, which
was unoccupied, caught next and
soon burned to the ground. The
building adjoining the second one
was occupied by the family of
Mr. D. L. Perdue, caught several
times, but the good work of the
large army of firefiighters pre
vented it from burning, while all
of the household goods were re
moved.
The three buildings, owned by
Slotin 4 Company, of Savannah,
were in a row, with a twenty foot
space between, replacing four
buildings that burned ten years
ago. When the first one caught
little hopes were held out for
either of the others. Due, howev
er, to the fact the wind was not
blowing brisk and it had been
raining for several days, the last
building was saved.
The Pullen building was partly
covered by insurance, as was also
the household goods of Mr. Pul
len.
The origin of the fire is un
known.
