PRISON BOARD IS
DENIED BOOST
IN SALARY
Bill to Increase Compensation to
$4,000 Defeated-CrOss-
State Road Act Held Up.

An effort to Increase the salaries Of
the members of the State Prison
Commission from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year was defeated in the House Mon
day following an hours debate. The
vote was III to SO against the adop-
ton of the report of the penitentiary
Committee
Arguments favoring the passage of
the bill were made by Representatives
Wohlwender, Wimberly and Slater,
who insisted strenuously that sal
airy of $4,000 was absolutely made
quate for the service involved and
the caliber of the men composing the
present board.
Mr.. Wohlwender gave notice he
would move to reconsider the bill
Delay Action on Road Bill
The first bill to come up for a third
reading at the session Monday was
the one providing for a public high
way from the Kings Ferry Bridge on
the Ogeechee River, in Bryan County,
through the counties of Bryan, Lib
erty Mcintosh, Glynn or Wayne and
1dllhtllF W eOiAlE CulLdblG punt OAl
the Florida line the State to furnish
either so or 100 State convicts to the
counties through which the road will
run. The proposed highway will con-
next with a State road traversing
Florida.
After some discussion, a motion
pOstponing action on the report of the
committee, which was favorable, UNI
| til Wednesday was carried. Three
hundred copies of the bill will be
printed and distributed among the
members in the meanwhile. Those
| backing the bill have hopes of ulti-
mately extending the road clear across
the State.
Gambler County Gets Boost.
Gambler County received a boost
when the Constitutional Committee
reported il favorably Action on it
| will come up probably Wednesday or
Thursday
A reconsideration of House Bill No.
| &c. which was killed Friday was
granted upon the motion of Repre-
sentative Darlington of Richmond.
This bill provides for the foreclosing
of a mortgage within four weeks in

showed itself almost equally divided
on the question when it was put to

Another Murder
Mystery In Atlanta

Atlanta, May 13.-The body of
an unknown negro man, with the
head caved in, bobbing up and
down in the reservoir pond of the
Davis street power plant, has
proven in small way a mystery
baff1 ng to the detectives and po-
lice. The mans head was spied
about 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
by an employe who notified the
policeman on the beat, and the
officers fshed out the body.
The negro was dressed in fairly
good clothes, but there was moth
ing IN any of his pockets to afford
the slightest clue to his identity
The wound in the back of the
head showed that a tremendous
blow with some weapon had frac-
tured the skull and caused death.
Police are satisfied that it was a
case of murder, but they have
not yet been able to obtain the
slightest clue in the case. Unless
some negro is reported missing
by his relatives or friends or
friends and the Identification
made in that way, it is probable
that another unsolved mystery
will be added to local police rec
ords.

Following Miss Linneman, Miss

closing the meeting.
The most interesting feature
wat the pantomine and song
Cit for Tat" in which Miss
Atha Meyer took the solo part,
and number of young high
school girls performing the pan
tomine.
The minuet and song, THE
Winning Ways Of Grandma's
Days" Was delightfully."- render
ed by a large number of young
ladies, attired as colonial danes,
and in striking contrast was the
modern society girl, Miss Rhea
Wise, who took the solo part.
"A Glass Suspension" the
class play, proved a most enjoy
able close to the evenings enter
tainment, the graduating class
being assisted by Prof. Bennett
and Miss Florence Taylor.
Much credit is due the amateur
players for the skillful manner in
which the play was carried out,
and each member showed a most
decided histronic inclination.

more if more farmers had helped.
Sometimes a farmer will stay out
of the Union, then ask why such
and such thing has not been done
Each farmer has a duty to perform
in behalf of agricultural progress
and he can best perform that duty
by joining hands with his fellow
farmers.
Gin organization there is
strength, united we stand, divided
we fall'' is just as true with the
farmer as any other class.
This is an age of organization
and cooperation and If the far
mer fails to use these means, he
and his family must suffer loss,
and the whole country is injured.
We are anxious to bring fnan-
cial prosperity to every farmers
home and this can be done if the
farmers will join IN the effort. 1t
cannot be done by each one stand
ing alone.

Modern AriStOCraCy
Differs From Old

Atlanta, Ga. May 13.-That the
only true aristocracY must be
based on some form of Industrious
toll, is the unique declaration made
by Jonathan b. Frost, the we'll
known southern author. He says
though idleness was the pride of
the old aristocracy, labor is the
pride of the new.
"The tables are turned and in
dustry now carries the dignif ed
head. Thus is accomplished the
natural selection of the worthy.
Labor will not associate with idle
ness. Toll is always occupied
never at home to idleness. The
only way to enter the society of
the industrious is through work.
The badge of labor in some one
of its forms-the patch upon the
pantaloons, the bead of sweat up
on the face, the knitted brow of
thought-must be worn by him
who enters the ennobling circle of
this iustifable aristocracY.

Legislature Should
Make Provision
For Studying Marketing of
Farm Production

The Georgia farmers are not
making money on what they pro-
duce.
The reason is to be found in two
things largely, these are bad farm
management and improper meth
DDS of marketing.
Our state and national govern
ments are spending millions an
nually to teach the farmer how to
make ''two blades of grass grow
where only one grew" but have
been spending practically nothing
to teach him how to finance and
market properly the one blade.
The German Government has
taught her farmers to make more
and at the same time how to finance
and market.
The Farmers Union has agitated
this "balance" of information un-
til the national government has
decided to establish a department
of markets. They have appropri-
ated $4,000 to study the subject.
Congress appropriated $4,000 to
study rural credits.
1t seems to me that Georgia
could not do better than spend a
few thousand dollars along similar
lines.
Our methods are out of date,
not keeping pace with the times.
The farmer cannot be prosperous
on 40 cents on the dollar and have
to support his school, church, pay
his taxes, keep up his farm and
support his family out of the AZ
cents. If the South attains the
position financially that she should
her farmers must become prosper
Gus.
The Farmers Union is working
for this prosperity. Every legiti
mate business in the South will be
helped by our work.
The Local Unions in all parts of
the state are asking their repre-
sentatives for an appropli ation for
the studying of financing and
marketing
The Farmers Union has always
taken an advance position On all
questions of general interest to
farmers. We have seen many of
our demands put into laws, ard
many of our suggestions put into
practice. We could nave done
