SLAP AT THE PEOPLE
Il Do Not Believe Any Real Re-

This Manner" He Says.

With the fate of the council charter
revision committee of ten councilmen
and ten citizens in his hands, Mayor
Woodward declared today that he had
become convinced that no real charter
revision could be had at the hands OF
council,
He said he had not decided what ac-
ton he would take when the resolution
creating the committee came to him
for approval, but that he considered
the action Of council yesterday as a
slap at the people OF Atlanta and espe-
cially at those who composed the re-
cent mass meeting at the Kimball
house when the Humphrey resolution
was Endorsed.
A large element in council. backed
by numerous board members and poll
ticians. ran the whole gamut of politics
in an effort to block the charter revi-
sion propaganda They made every er-
fort to embauass Mayor Woodward and
succeeded in no small degree
They steam rolled the Humphrey
resolution. they took from the mayor
the appointment OF the council com
mittee. they declined to approve Mayor
Woodward's appointments on the COM
mittee Of ten citizens They did all
this by adopting substitute resolution

mittee representing the ten city wards

Young Man

Young man, why don't you be
decent? Why don't you grow into
manhood with honor and credit in
stead OF stain upon your character?
1t is just as easy 1t is always
easier to be man than a rowdy
Cigarettes and gambling and whis-
key have had many a wrestle with
boys before you came on the scene,
and they have never yet been thrown
Don't get the idea into your head
that you can turn trick. If you
don't want to be decent for yourself
be decent for others. There is one
heart whose sorrows should appeal
to you. There is one who has faced
everything for your sake; one who
has to bear the cross for your foolish
ness. You don't want your trial
through this world to be stained
with a mothers tears. The one who
turns brazan face to mothers grief
never gets very far on the road to
happiness. When he gets a little
older you find his name on the
police docket Of various cities, a
little later the dark shadows of
stone walls loom up across his path
way. Without honor, home or
friends. IT'S a sad picture but it is
painted every day in various towns
of this broad land. The pathway
of the transgressor is full of rock
and thorns Be decent. 1t always
pays dividends Elk.

Sorghum Poison in Cattle
By George R. White

The plant botanically known as
Sorghum Vulgare or as referred to
throughout this section of the coun-
try as "sorghum"-when eaten by
cattle during certain stages Of its
development is a deadly poison on
account of the prussic acid which it
contains. Prussic acid is recogniz-
ed the world over as ole of the most
dangerous and deadly poisons. "
Sorghum retarded or stunted in
growth contains a larger percent OF
prussic acid than does that which
grows rapidly and develops into a
healthy vigorous plant. The leaves
are more heavily loaded with prus-
sic acid than the stalk. AS much
as l percent prussic acid has been
extracted from green sorghum leaves
This would M an that one pound
of these leaves would contain fatal
dose for an ordinary COW or steer
In mature sorghum the stalks and
seeds do not contain prussic acid.
There is an erroneous impression
abroad to the effect that it is only
the second crop OF sorghum which
i. poisionus to cattle. This is in
correct as the first crop contains as
large percent of the poison as does
the second crop. However this
erroneous idea ris from the fact
that the first crop is rarely ever pas
tured, whereas it is not at all I'M
usual, especially in the early fall,
for cattle to be turned into fields
where the shoots and the young
plant of second growth or crop are de-
veloplng 1t is under these condi-
tons that the cattle owner should
fear d ath from Sorghum poison.
Every year in Tennessee during the
late summer and early fall hundreds
of cattle are lost from poison of
this character.
Experiments to date demonstrate
that dry, clear weather, by arresting
the normal development of the
plant, is the chief cause of the for
