Raise Food Worth That With
out Cutting Cotton Acreage.

Georgia, needlessly and with a
blind policy that is hardly explain
able. is sending &l72 100000 out OF

ucts. while not only this food should

picture.

gia shall say what shall be done in
Georgia This organization is not
mine. but yours Georgia should be-
come "A garden spot with diversified
crops teeming industries and com
mercial prosperity"
Mr.. Manss pointed out the posi-
bility of making the Southeast the
great import and export section Of
the country and said that when this
became a fact Georgia would be the
gateway through which all these
commodities would pass.

BILL MINER GETTING WELL
RumOred That Aged Convict While

Old Bill Miner, express train robber

where Mr.. Miner is making an extern
sive sojourn at the fresh air farm

DR.. Wildauer told newspaper men
that Franks composure was wonder
full. He declared that in his expert
ence he never knew of a man to hold
up under such a terrific strain.
At 6:15 the Selig's auto drove up
to the Jail, and the chauffeur carried
up Franks supper. He ate the meal
with relish, apparently, and thanked
the negro driver for the trouble.

Quite a number of persons called
at the Tower and tried to get admit
lance to the prisoners cell. Sheriff
Mangum and Deputy Settles kept ev-

The newspapers were forced to use
strategy to get within hearing dis
lance of the cell.
While Rabbi Marx was in the main
corridor of the Tower Mrs. Marx
drove up to the jail in an auto. She
was in Mysteries and sobbed bitterly
through the outer bars. She pleaded
to be allowed to speak one word with
Frank. She left exclaiming to her
husband:
! "Oh, please take me away from

.BULGAR ORGIES DESCRIBED
HORRIBLE CRIMES COMMITTED
BY CHRISTIAN LIBERATORS.
Put to Shame Anything the Turks
Have Ever Done. Latter Again
Hold Adrianople.

LONDON.-The sublime porte has
opened direct negotiations with the
Bulgarian delegate, NJ. Nocheitch,
who has remained in COnstantinople
since he went there at the outbreak
of the second war to negotiate an
understanding with Turkey. 1t is
understood that the porte remains
firm with regard to Adrianople and
Kirk 'Kilsseh, but is prepared to
make concessions in other quarters
Ierre Lott, the French writer, un-
der Constantinople date, sends the
Daily Telegraph a vivid story of his
impressions on visiting Adrianople
and the surrounding districts. Lott
says:
"The Bulgarians have made
Thrace a desert, surprising in abom-
nation everything I had been told
and all that I had imagined. With
what fury have these christian liber-
atOrs worked in order to accomplish
so much destruction in few months.
He describes orgies and massacres
and violation and dissertation in all
the Turkish villages, and asserts that
Adrianople itself only escaped by
miracle, because the Turks arrived a
day earlier than was expected, and so
defeated the Bulgarian plans for
similar massacre there.
NJ. Lott confirms the story of sew
eral thousand Turkish prisoners be-
ing herded on an island and there al
lowed to starve to death by Bulga-
rians, those who survived starvation
being massacred, and protests in the
strongest terms against Europe per-
hitting Adrianople to be handed back
to the Bulg&rians. He says to do so
would be a crime, and expresses the
belief that the Russians have been
misled; that when they know all the
monstrous truth they will realize
that to take up the cause "of this
small, deceitful and ferocious people,
this opprobrium of the great Slav
family, would be to soil their history
with an indelible stain"
