ANDERSON QUITS
HIGHWAY BOARD
RENEWS CHARGES AGAINST MR.
HOLDER. RESIGNATION IS
ACCEPTED BY GOVERNOR.
ATLANTA, Ga.—W. T. Anderson,
of Macon, today placed his resigna¬
tion as a member of the Highway
Board in the hands of Governor Wal¬
ker. The Governor aeeeepted it.
The resignation was .contained in a
letter in which Mr. Anderson repeat¬
ed the charges he made in February
against Chairman John N. Holder.
Commissioner Anderson pointed out
in his letter that although the Su¬
preme Court had held that Mr. Holder
could not be removed by the Governor
under the law, the charges have not
been denied nor diapproved and that
he therefore renewed his request
be relieved of his place on the board.
Mr. Anderson presented his origi¬
nal resignation at the time he laid
before the Governor charges that Mr.
Holder had altered the records of the
department, had used the depart¬
ment’s money for personal purposes
and had allowed the padding of pay-

Hears Son Talk After
9,000-Foot Drop
BERKELEY, Calif. — Braving
death in an experiment to restore her
hearing, Mrs. Ethel Menz, former
musician, has been amply rewarded.
For the first time she can hear her
son Jack talk to her without the aid
of an ear trumpet and understand all
he says.
Ten years ago Mrs. Menz started
to lose her hearing. Increasing deaf¬
ness forced her to use an ear trum
pet, and then but few sounds were
audible.
She decided to try a sudden drop
in an airplane to restore her hearing.
A former aviator carried her to a
height of 10,200 feet and let his plane
drop 9,000 feet in a nose dive before
he righted it.
“The pain in my ears was terriffic,”
says Mrs. Menz, but when the drop j
ceased I could hear the motor and
voices \v ithout the use of my ear!
trumpet. I am now able to hoar what my j
I Jack talks of. I have been
son am¬
ply repaid for the danger and hard¬
ship.
“I plan to make three more such
long drops and 1 am positive that
my hearing will be completely re¬
stored by that time.”
ALFALFA MOST PROFITABLE.
AMERICUS, Ga.—Alfalfa is the
most profitable hay raised by Georgia
farmers, a survey by specialists of
University of Georgia revealed. The
average value of an acre of alfalfa is
$88.40 compared with $38.55 for
Johnson grass. Alfalfa also returns
a larger yield, giving four tons to the
acre to three for Johnson grass.
rolls to go unpunished for two months
after the situation,was brought to his
attention. Governor Walker removed
Mr. Holder, the Supreme Cout’s de¬
cision reinstated him.
Scores Holder’s Methods.
At the time, Mr. Anderson says in
his letter, he announced it as his in¬
tention to remain in office until the
Legislature met,” it being my pur¬
pose," he says, “to avoid disrup¬
tion or change in the organization un¬
til the lawmakers should get togeth¬
er.
“Inasmuch as the Legislature is
now in session, and as there are sev¬
eral bills looking to a change or re¬
organization on some lines different
from those at present in vogue,” Mr.
Anderson continues, “I desire to re¬
new my request of you to be relieved
of my duties as commissioner.”
Mr. Anderson calls the resolutions
presented by Chairman Holder at the
board meeting Saturday “eleventh
hour penitence” anticipating the re¬
port of State Auditor Slate, who, Mr.
Anderson says, criticises “the chair¬
man for the waste in the Highway
Department and the loose methods op¬
erative there, and for which the chair¬
man, as executive head under the law
is responsible.”
“Loose as a Bridge.”
“The Highway Department was
about as loose as a worn-out bridge,”
says the letter, “and although the
chairman had been in his position for
three years, with absolute authority
under the law and a salary of $6,000
per annum, he had never proposed
a reduction force or any economics,
but on the other hand was constantly
adding to the employed list and ex¬
penses of the department.”
Mr. Anderson adds that the resolu¬
tions proposed by the chairman should
have been put into effect three years
ago.
Mr. Anderson became Highway
Commissioner in October 1923, suc¬
ceeding R. C. Neely, of Waynesboro.
GRADY OFFICIAL
IS $10,000 SHORT
SHORTAGE IS CHARGED TO
HOWARD B. RAWLS, COUN¬
TY TREASURER.
CAIRO, Ga-—Howard B. Rawls,
treasurer of Grady County, was late
this afternoon arrested and released
under a $10,000 bond for his appear¬
ance before the September grand
jury on a charge of embezzlement of
county funds. Auditor C. J. Burke,
of Atlanta, discovered the shortage
a few days ago during the annual
audit of the county’s affairs and
Rawls was suspended from office by
the Board of County Commissioners
immediately after the matter was re¬
ported to them.
According to Burke the shortage is
slightly more than $10,000. Rawls
manipulated the books by raising the
amounts of certificates showing the
funds on deposit at the banks as
county treasurer, the auditor says,
He is'under a $75,000 surety bond
which will fully protect the county
from any loss.
Blames Politics.
Rawls said that the condition of his
affairs is due chiefly to polities, cer¬
tain political friends having taken ad¬
vantage of him by asking him re¬
peatedly for private loans which have
never been repaid, he states..Unable
to make these loans from his per¬
sonal funds he began drawing on the
county funds, believing that the
money could be returned when re¬
paid to him, he declared further,
However, since none of the money
has been returned, according to his
statement, he has been unable to take
care of the personal overdrafts in the
county treasury. He declared em¬
phatically that he had none of the
money on his person and that he had
nothing to show for it.
Rawls was re-elected for a four
year term last year, defeating three
others. He is a comparatively young
man and is from a prominent family.
OIL INSPECTORS
MILNER’S TARGET
DODGE SOLON WOULD REDUCE
FORCE FROM THREE HUN¬
DRED TO SIX.
ATLANTA, Ga.—The present force
of approximately 300 local oil inspec¬
tors throughout the State, and under
the supervision of the State Depart¬
ment of Agriculture, would be cut to
six State oil inspectors, if a bill in¬
troduced in the House by Represen¬
tative J. Herman Milner, of Dodge
County, is passed by that body and
concurred in by the Senate.
Representative Milner, who was in
the race for Speaker of the House
against W. Cecil Neill, of Columbus,
but withdrew bis name the night be¬
fore the Legislature convened, made
a bitter fight on the present force of
oil inspectors under direction of the
Agriculture Department, and in va¬
rious published statements has re
ferred to the inspectors being- ap¬
pointed to office to pay off “political
obligations.” Mr. Milner is a former
vice chairman of the rules commit¬
tee of the House.
The introduction of the bill by Rep¬
resentative Milner is taken that he
will continue his fight to reduce the
present force of oil inspectors of the
Agriculture Department.
A similar bill introduced by Repre¬
sentative T. O. Whitehead, of Early
County, if passed by both branches
of the General Assembly, would go
even further than the bill of the
member from Dodge, which provides
that the number of oil inspectors be
fixed by law at two.
Under the bill introduced by Mr.
Milner, the six inspectors would be
appointed by Commissioner of Agri¬
culture J. J. Brown for a fixed period
of one year, and would work directly
under him. Their salary would be
fixed at $150 per month each, with
actual traveling expenses, in (addi¬
tion they would be required to devote
their entire time to the work, and to
furnish the Commissioner of Agri¬
culture with bond for the proper dis¬
charge of their duties.

Gypsy Caravans Adopt
Modern Transportation
ATLANTA, Ga.—Gypsy life has
changed. No longer do the wander¬
ing tribes go leisurely along rural
roads out of Atlanta in wagons, with
strings of horses trailing behind,
representing the stock in trade of the
tribe. Instead, the modern gypsy
travels swiftly from town to town
in automobile, and instead of trading
horses, with so much to boot, as in
the old days, your modern nomad
“swaps” flivvers and comes out ahead
as usual.
Probably the worst blow that has
been dealt to “Old Dobbin” is the
modernizing of the gypsy caravan
from covered wagons and buggies
for the chiefs, to flivvers for the
tribesmen and motor coaches for the
chiefs and queens. It marks the pass¬
ing of the horse from one of the most
familiar haunts, the gypsy camp. It
marks the abandoning of the practice
of trading horses for the more mod¬
ern vocation, of exchanging- automo¬
biles.
Farmers with a trading instinct
should have no trouble in getting- rid
of the family flivver in exchange for
one that looks as good, if there are
gypsies near. As in the case of
the horse in the old days the farmers
may get the worst of the deal, but
that is his lookout.
“Corpse” Shows Fine
Ability as a Sprinter
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—William Plum¬
mer a Memphis ambulance driver,
thought for a few moments he had
seen the dead come to life.
He answered a call to a local store.
An unidentified man had apparently
dropped dead in the store. Plum¬
mer gave the “dead” man a hasty
examination and then started to St.
Joseph’s hospital to let physicians
confirm his belief that the man was
dead.
Just as he drove up to the hospital
and started to take the “dead” man
out the “corpse” leaped out of the
ambulance and sped down the street.
Car Hits Skunks;
Negroes Hit Dirt
J EFFERSONVILLE, Ga.—Charlie
Cannon lost a couple of hours this
morning rounding up a truckload of
negroes, who left for parts unknown
when the wheels of the vehicle struck
three polecats in the rut of the road,
Charlie, taking the negroes to a
sawmill, saw the animals from afar
but was under the impression that
they were squirrels.
“Your nose knows”—the colored
gentry hit the woods for the creek
and fresh air, when the catastrophe
occurred.
As far as can be ascertained all of
the party have been accounted for.
One of the party remarked that
skunks to him were “T. N. T.—
