Report From Delegate to Southern Corn Show

When | left the building, visited
moving picture shows, and other
wise had a joyous time. Return
ing to the Forsyth Building, after
which Mr.. Kriegshaber carried me
to his palatial home, and also to ms
farmers, and introduced me to his
fathers family, who showed me
every kind and courteous considera
ton, affording me very keen enjoy
ment during the visit.
The time at the Auditorium was
spent in a very happy, jolly, good
natured way with the Corn Clut
Boys from different sections OF the
State in discussing corn culture, etc
| told the boys of the progress o.
our excellent young county, and
of the great yield of produce that
we can make per acre, which com
pared with the reports which they
could render, must have been
great advertisement for our splen
did young section of the State.
I told the boys that we had
raised two bales of cotton per acre
and five hundred bushels of sweet
potatoes, which is fact, but sur
prised them; this is evidence of the
fertility of this soil.
Returnidg to the Auditorium Fri
day morning after a delightful
nights rest, and after the speaking
we took in the beautiful and great
city of Atlanta, The sights seer
and the impressions made of thai
great Metropolis are too numerous
and varid to undertake to relate and
explain.
Approaching thoroughly the splen
did attention given to our humble
boy from the farm by Mr.. Kriegsha-
Der and his splendid family,
thanked them as best | could fol
their hospitality, and bidding them
farewell, I left again for the capital
o. Wiregrass Georgia, and for the
best young county in the state.
The show was a revelation. Great
good is sure to result.

Brutal Convict Guards

Atlanta, Dec. 14-Fred Fisk, a
burglar who has just finishing a two
year sentence in the Fulton county
state convict camp, comes forward
with a story of the extreme brutality
of guards at the Utoy Springs camp
He says that the guards get drunk
and act like wild men, and some
times have whole squads of prison
ers whipped at one time. He says
the whip consists of a long leather
strap fastened on a big handle. The
whole thing, he says is about six
feet long, is a little broader than a
mans hand, and has 48 metal brads
in it. He says they beat the con-
victs with it brutally on their naked
backs.
He claims that he was beaten
simply because he couldn't lift a
heavy stone, which subsequently
took two men to move.
The county superintendent, I. j.
Donaldson, and the county commits
sioners deny that there is any truth
at all in Fisk's statements They
say he is lying about the whole BUSH
ness. AS for whipping, they are all
given under the direction of war
dens, and the guards are never al
lowed to chastise prisoner, it is
stated.

Not Satisfied
With New Law

Atlanta, Dec. 14.-Atlanta auto
lists are not satisfied with the new
law which provides that autos
must stop when following a street
car when the street car stops to let
off passengers. They contend that
the law is too strict and ought tc
leaveit to the discression Of the
driver whether it is necessary fol
him to come to full stop or not
It is further contended that nine
tenths of the motormen instead OF
assisting matters, use every meth
cd possible, racing between corners
ETC., to prevent an auto from get
ting a chance to pass them.

An Aid to Game
Law Enforcement

The Louisville Courier-Journal
suggests that the rural telephone
m ny be utilized by farmers as a
most effective aid in the enforce
ment of game laws.
The suggestion is good one. 1t
is capable of being turned to profit
able account in Georgia in making
effective the states new regulations.
The hun ter who is ready to vlo-
late the law is always a compound
o. both fool and bully. To his kind
day in the fields mean an occa-
sion for license and wanton destruc-
ton. He extracts a peculiar sort of
pleasure out of hunting on lands
with out asking the permission OF
the owner as by law he is required
to do. He gives no heed to post
ed" signs-he even delights in shoot
Ing them down. When he can find
no game, out of a spirit of pure
cussedness," he takes shot at do
nestle fowls, and sometimes at hogs
and cattle.
When warned off his lands by a
f armer, the hunter of this character
either defies the warning or passes
on to the next farm to continue his
unauthorized depredations there.
Just here the telephone becomes
valuable. How is pointed out by
The Courier Journal. Before the
use of telephones on the farm be-
came general the principal difficult
ty," says that paper, was for the
farmer to communicate with game
warden, a county policeman, the
sheriff office, or the neighbors, in
time to round up the hunter. He
had opportunity to violate the law
snap his fingers at any land owner
who happened to be unarmed or
unwilling to engage in personal
disturbance in the effort to protect
his preserves.
But now the telephone may east
" be used by farmers who, having
started the hunter off his land,
wishes to let his neighbor know
whether his farm is next in order of
invasion. Where the farmers of
the community cooperate the coun-
tryside may be made so inhospit-
able for the hunter who defines to
ask PERMISSION that he will find no
pleasure in the outing. When the
services of an officer are not readily
available those of the nearest neigh
bors will suffice for a roundup"
The rural telephone, in addition
to breaking up the monotony and
isolation of the farm home, has adj
ded immensely to it's protection. BY
reason of it law and order of all
kinds is made more secure. even in
the most remote districts. Atlanta

POST AND compERs.


President Gompers of the American
Federation and C. w. Post of Battle
Greek. Mich, represent the two ex-
trenies Of the union labor movement.
Gompers heads the unionists. While
he Ia one OF the ablest leaders in many
respects. he il dognatic and arrogant
not only to the unionists whom he
dominates with an iron hand, but also
to the public in general.
c. w. Post Of Postum fame is about
as far away from Gompers-in views
on labor matters-as the north pole
from the south pole. Post has fought
the union labor movement until it has
become almost q mania with him.
Both men have many admirable
qualities. Each is ultra radical.
Somewhere between the two is COM
mon ground on which all laboring men
as well as the public--couId agree. ii
proper effort was made.
Mr.. Post has addressed letter to
Mr.. Gompers. Some of the language
used in the communication is not ex-
actly of a conciliatory nature and is
unlikely to meet with ready response
from the addressee. Despite that. fact
some good might arise from the pro-
posed conference. The letter is as fol-
lows:
Press reports indicate that you are
greatly depressed and llarassed by fear
and the disrepute brought on your
federation.
The Query has arisen whether you
are biz enough to sense the movement
OF great Power which guides humans
ity, and 10 conclude that the time has
arrived when Labor should be hon
estly represented instead OF misrepre-
scented.

for week or ten days rest ana free
0ofn rom worry, as q guest, either OF
the association or of myself, as you
prefer.
When rested, let us consider the new
movement for the wofkingmen of
America, enlisted under the banner OF
the National Trades s. workers assoc
citation, free from strikes, smuggling
picketing. tyranny, fines, dynamiting
and murder.
alton Of Labor are hundreds OF thou
sands Of self-respecting and law -abid-
Ing workingmen who are members un-
der pressure, and who deplore the tao,
tics you and your associates have en-
ployed and forced upon them.
They want steady employment nifty
two weeks in the year and do not rel
ish being forced by strikes into idle
ness pending the negotiations" be-
tween crooked labor leaders seeking
brides, and crooked employers who
hire said labor leaders to call strikes
on competitive jobs, thus making the
workingmen tools kept idle while the
chiefs scrap for control or bribe money.
You will perhaps reject this propos-
al believing that strikes. are a neces-
gary weapon to preserve the rights OF
workingmen. But the new way has
been in very successful operation over
two years and found to have more
power than the old way.
The honorable Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Engineers, the National AS
ISOLATION of Stationary Engineers and
the National Trades & Workers assoc
citation perfect trade agreements with
out strikes secure the highest wages
and yet preserve the respect and es-
TEEN Of employers and of the mem
bers themselves.
Workingmen are reused to resent
ment from being forced to contribute
from their hard earned pay envelopes
to defend known sluggers and murder
ers, and to being heavily fined for not
obeying the orders of leaders when
they know those leaders are simply
using them to insure complete domin-
ion over the daily lives of the Ameri-
can workingman.
He seeks to maintain his position as
be forced to affiliate with and support |
thugs and murderers.
Personally. I have only sincere and |
open denunciation for the past methods |
OF you and your associates. Neverthe- |
less, If you are ready to join in an |
earnest and truthful step forward for
your members and will accept this in
vitation in the spirit In which 1t is
given. you will be most welcome, and |
will be treated with the greatest con- !
sideration we are capable of, and in
addition / will agree to contribute |
$250.00O in cash to the new movement.
The Trades & Workers now have a |
splendid 100000 home to care for
their INDECENT members. and with the
addition of the members OF the Amer |
lean Federation Of Labor and it's en-
dowment we can merit the support of |
the public, all working for the new |
day OF peace with honor in the indus
trial field.
