ALBANY FOLK ARE HAPPY
Appropriation OF SIPS, 900 for New
PostOffiCe Building Causes
Much Rejoicing.

The news has teen sent out from
Washington to the effect that Albany
was included in the omnibus public
building appropriation of 1928, 900 for
a public building.
Judge Griggs, the popular con-
oressman from the Second district,
has done a great deal for this section
of the state, and he is all the more the
toast of the hour in Albany since he
has secured this handsome appropria-
ton.
The Albany postottice has outgrown
its present quarters and as the gov
eminent has no place of meeting for the
southwestern division of the United
States court for the southern district
of Georgia public building was
badly needed at that point.
Albanians are all delighted over the
nrospect of such handsome govern
ment building so early in the future
and thew are extremely grateful to
Judge Griggs, feeling that it was
largely through his efforts that the
appropriation was secured.

NITRo-GLYCERINE RUNAWAY.
Hundreds Terrified When Team Ran
off with Deadly FImid.

Charles Bess, driver of nitro
glycerine wagon, narrowly escaped
being blown to atoms at Knigtstown,
Ind. one day last week, and hun
dreds of farmers were terrorized when
his team run off with a wagon loaded
with deadly fluid.
Bess had started out to make
"shot." Four miles north of Kings
town his horses became frightened at
some fighting dogs and ran away.
Bess jumped and ran for his life as
they dashed at an embankment, but
the horses swerved just in time and
kept the road, dashing seven miles
through thickly-populated country.
Terrified farmers seeing the nitro
glycerine danger sign on the wagon,
fed into fields and woods. One
thoughtful farmer warned his neigh
bors down the big road by telephone.
Scores of teams on the road were
turned about and driven at break
neck speed in the opporsite direction
to keep out of the radius of danger.
Rural SWANS out with their sweet
hearts in buggies had the rides OF
their lives, making for farm lands in
to which they might turn. Children
playing in the highways scampered to
cover; loose horses in the fields took
the chase.
Finally Wallace Apple, a farmer,
ran into the roadway and stopped the
almost exhausted team. Apple had
not the faintest idea how big a hero
he was until it was all over. He was
the only one in hundreds who had not
been advised of the danger.

Rev. J. T. Mann, Baptist minis
ter of Fitzgerald has gone to Pensa~
cola, Fla, to visit again the scene
where over forty years ago he was
hanged by federals for being a con-
federate spy, but was rescued after
hanging a few minutes.
His visit is mainly to see if he can

while the federals were searching for
him, and in whose house he was Sc

had an opportunity for thanking the
gentleman, and has forgotten his
name. He will go down to the forts,
and believes he can go directly to the
spot where the house was located, and
also to the spot where the federals
swung him up, and where he dangled
at the end of rope until federal
sergeant, who had taken liking for
him, swore that he was not the man
wanted.

the leader of the famous O'Hara clan

his young nephew, Pat O'Hara, for
some time in order that black hearse
which was about to be used to convey

one.
The father of the deceased, Edward
O'Hara, had ordered the black hearse,
but when the chief came to the funeral
he offered strenuous objections to the
vehicle and he and the rest of his fol-
lowers refused to allow the funeral to
60 on until white hearse was produc-
ed from the undertaken. This was
done and the funeral services were
finished without other interference.

While riding motor cycle he came

wooden rake prong penetrated his
breast. The surgeons found that par
ticles of sand from the road had been
driven into the wound as far as the
heart. They took the organ out, wash
ed it thoroughly, and then replaced it.
The indications are that Mccartney

woRLD's FIRST NEWSPAPER.
Was Published in Germany in the
Year 1909.

Year 1909.
A newspaper exposition is being
held at Frankfort-on- Main, Germany,
which contains examples of the earliest
journals published in the world. The
precision of the modern newspaper
may be seen in the accounts of the
Frankfort fairs. Two of these were
held annually, and during the events
these account" were issued, narrat-
ing the political events of the time.
They began in 1890 and lasted until
1906.
The first newspaper in Germany. and
probably in the wo:ld, was published
in 1909 in Strasburg. A whole years
issues are still extant. Shortly after
its appearance, in 1915, was founded
the Frankfort Journal, which lived PSI
years, and was then sold to another
newspaper of that city.
Germany led the nations in the news
paper enterprise. But Vienna had a
newspaper in 1910, England in 1922,
Italy in 1880. France in 1881, Spain in
1861 and Russia in 1903.
Of the old German newspapers
there exist to-day four dating back to
the seventeenth century-one at Koe-
nigsburg, founded in 1910; one at
Magdeburg, founded in 1927; one at
Sena, founded in 1916, and the Oldest
of all at Hellibrunn, founded in 1920.

COTTON PROBLEM SOLVED
KANSANS TACKLED THE CUES
TION AND ITS HANDS WENT UP.

Jayhawkers Would Use Surplus Crop
to Increase Number of Shirts and
Make Them an Inch Longer
When Kansas tackles a problem
that problem had as we'll hold up it's
hands and quit fooling, for Kansas
will never stop until it is conquered.
The latest problem to receive the at
tention of the jayhawkers is that of
the cotton market, and the solution of
it that they have evolved is as simple
as falling off log. 1t is embraced
in one word-shirts. The shirts of
the country, according to the Kansans,
are the governor valve of the cotton
market. When there is surplus
crop let the shirt wearers of Ane 'ica
lengthen those garments one inch
each, and the surplus will soon be
tucked away out of sight; will disaus
pear from tie view of the world. and
the cotton market will be sustained
at high level. And in the event of
short crop the shirts could be abbre-
Waited by an inch, or two inches as
occasion might demand, and the short
crop would thus be made to stretch
over and cover the needs of the peo
pie. Should there be an entire failure
of the cotton crop in some year the
consequences to the peoples shirts
might be something terrible to
to- contemplate, though that is a
contingency that need not be feared.
That there will always be cotton
enough to bring the shirt at least to
the waist line is as certain as any
thing can be.
The promoters of this Kansas idea
are entirely unselfsh. They do not
themselves grow cotton, but they are
willing to organize on the shirt basis
for the benefit of their brother farmers
of the South. And, as illustrating
their conservation and disinterested-
ness, it is to be noted that they do not
ask us to add another biscuit or bat
tercake to our breakfast by way of
increasing the demand for their wheat.
The same result might have been &C
complished had the reformers sugges-
ted an Increase in the number of
shirts per month, say from four to
five. An increase of rs per cept, in
the number of shirts worn per month
would absorb good many yards of
cotton cloth. But the Kansans sug-
gest nothing so radical. An extra
inch on the tail they think is enough
to begin with. Just how the organic
ed shirt wearers are to demonstrate
that they are living up to their obliga-
tons in length OF SHIRT is not quite
clear. Manifestly it would be I'M
pleasant to have a walking delegate
come along with tape line, extract
the shirt from it's cinch and measure
off the standard length. Equally en-
barrassing would it be to adopt the
Chinese style of wearing 'em outside
so that all observers might note the
fact that they we're of the regulation
length. Still that is a small matter
which Kansas will doubtless arrange
later, Having discovered plan for
automatically adjusting the cotton
market so that stable prices may be
maintained, the working out of the
details, and possibly the other tails
also, will be only matter of time.
