NEGRO MAKES FARMING PAY IF He ONLY HAD THE JOBS
MURPHY GAMBLER COULD FIND
PLENTY MEN TO FILL THEM.
Report That He Had Received Wash
ingtOn Appointment Starts Him
Mess of Trouble.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Chairman Muir
| ply Gambler of the Georgia railroad
commission is besieged with app'ica-
lions for jobs.
And Chairman Gambler has no jobs
| to dispense.
Unhappily for him, some of the
papers started him a mess of trouble
in the method of handling the fact
that the genial Georgia chairman had
been named as one of the representa-
tiyes of the National Association OF
Railroad Commissioners to cooper
ate with the interstate commerce
commission in the herculean task Of
physical valuation of the railroads OF
the United States.
1t would appear from some stories
that Chairman Gambler had landed
lob with a good fat salary attached
and. further that he was going to
have jobs galore to hand around.
AS a matter of fact neither infer
ence is correct.
He will receive no compensation
for the appointment, which is purely
honorary, and he hasn't single job
to dispense.
The appointments in this connec-
ton signify nothing more than that
the state commissions desired to be
heard in the work, to advance ideas,
etc. AS has been stated, the valua-
ton of the roads is to be made upon
state boundary lines, in order to give
each state the advantage of the par
ticular information in Iate-making
etc.
But Chairman Gamblers mail has
been considerably augmented and,
normally a genial and even-tempered
man, he is naturally a bit peevish.
He considers that the normal work
of chairman of the Georgia railroad
commission gives him about all the
worry necessary to keep one indivld-
ual busy and interested.

RAILWAY RUN TURKEY TRAIN
SOUTHERN OPERATED TURKEY
SPECIAL FROM TENNESSEE.
Several Carloads Thanksgiving Birds
Taken to Eastern Markets. Fifty
Carloads a Month Shipped.

The Southern Railway operated its
annual Thanksgiving Turkey Spe-
ciaI' from the East Tennessee poul-
try district to the big eastern mar
kets last week. The special train
started from Johnson City Friday
morning, November 21st, running via
Morristown and Asheyille to Wash
ington over the Southern railway and
from Washington to New York over
the Pennsylvania railroad. Stops were
made at various East Tennessee
points to pick up cars, but after the
train was completed it was hurried
eastward on practically passenger
time. Thousands of live turkeys were
shipped in special poultry cars, while
refrigerator cars were also handled
for dressed birds and eggs.
The poultry business has come to
be one of the great money producers
of East Tennessee. While special

CHURCHES AROUSED OVER
MODERN STYLE OF DRESS

Following almost directly in the
lines laid down by the Catholic
churches of Georgia a few weeks ago
the Protestant religious bodies of the
state are planning to lend their
weight to general campaign
against tangoes, turkey-trots, bunny
hugs, slit skirts and sex dramas.
The Episcopalians have already
taken action and the Baptists, it is
reported, are on the verge of follow

STARTED TWENTY YEARS AGO
WITH BROKEN-DOWN HORSE.
Jonas W. Thomas of South Carolina
Began on Rented Land and Now
Owns $4,000 Plantation.


twenty-five years ago Jonas w.
Thomas, a negro, of Marlborough
county, South Carolina, began his
career as a farmer by buying an old
horse for S4O.75 and by renting 80
acres of South Carolina land for l.
400 pounds of lint cotton, says the
Southern Workman. After four years
of hard work and close saving he
was able to buy mule for 500 ana
also sixty-seven acres of land. Then
he began renting and working farms
which belonged to other men. Grad
ually he was able to buy the land he
lad been renting. He also found it
worth his while to open a grab,
or cOmmissary
Now Thomas lives in a twelve
room house and employs on his $40,-
900 plantation thirty-nine families.
consisting of 1879 men, women and
children. He grows a variety OF
crops, including cotton, corn and
some garden truck, and raises his
own horses, mules, cows and hogs.
He has received as much as $4,000
for his cotton crop alone--4O0 bales
of long staple. On an average he
has saved $4,000 a year for twenty
two years. All that he now has on
his farm is his own, directly and
indirectly, he affirms with justifiable
pride. In a single year he has Dor
rowed of one local bank and repaid
$4,000. Good credit" says Thorn

MAY CHANGE TEXT BOOKS
STATE COMMISSION MEETS To-
DAY IN ATLANTA.
IL Is Probable Book Adoption for the
Next Five Years Will BE Com
pleted. Want to Finish Task.

Ii Is Probable BOOh Auoptlph I"i US
Next Five Years VIII BE Com
pleted. Want to Finish Task.
ATLANTA.-Wh the state book
commission meets Tuesday it is be-
lieyed that it will complete and an
nounce the book adoption for the
next five years.
Members of the subcommittee
have been requested to come to Al
lanta on this date and submit their
recommendations to the book COM
mission as early in the forenoon as
practicable, with the idea that all dit
ferences and views can be adjusted
and the final work of adoption com
pleted at this session.
Members of the commission are
known to be anxious to finish up this
big task. There is a great deal OF
worry and work about it and it is
the kind of thing that everybody con-
cerned wishes to complete as quickly
as possible.
It is the opinion that there will be
many changes in the books used now.
Some idea has been advanced tnat
there might not be many changes,
due to the fact that a legislative in
vestigation is under way and posi-
BILE big changes by legislative enact
ment within the next year or so.
However, the action of the com
mission at the outset rather vetoes
this view, inasmuch as the resolution
to readopt the old contract, pending
legislative action, met with failure.
1t is believed that there will be quite
a number of changes in the text
books all down the line.
Inasmuch as the commission seems
anxious to complete its work at the
next session it is probable that the
members will come in Monday even
ing so the session can begin about 3
o'clock in the morning.

to Eat Them.

Marion, O.-Mayor Claude D. Wal
tiers struck on a novel method for pun
ishing E. D. Brant, thirty, charged
with stealing eggs. Instead of giving

mayor ordered Brant locked up in the

He was arrested and held five days.

sick of eggs that he says they will be
no temptation in the future. He is so
