Better Have Law First.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, April 14.-"If the numbers of children employ ed in Arkansas increase as rapid ly as the factories, Arkansas will soon have a child labor problem equal to that of Ala bama, Georgia and the Carolinas large numbers of children en- ployed and no adequate law to prevent it. Industries have a way of growing faster than child labor laws, and suddenly the. con- dition appears which exists in these Southern states, where thousands of children are en- ployed and where any attempt to better the child labor law meets with bitter opposition from man. ufacturers who have become de- pendant upon child labor. These parasite industries, which can- not survive if they are forced to employ adult labor at higher wages, are disgrace which Ar kansas should not permit to take root within her boundaries they make infinitely less trou- ble if kept out"
 This is the statement made by Owen R. Lovejoy, general secre. tary of the National Child La bor Committee, now engagd in initiating an act in Arkansas.
 There is a large number of diff Iferent kinds of measures being initiated in Arkansas, and they have until May IA to complete the petitions.

Four Gunmen Die-One Makes
 Confession.

Albany, N. r., April 13.- Shortly before 'Dago Frank" Cirofici went to the death chair in Sing Sing prison early today he told Warden Clancy that "Gyp the Blood" Horowitz, Lefty Louie" Rosenberg and Harry Vallon, an informer, fired the shots which killed Herman Rosenthal, for which crime the four gunmen paid the penalty.
 ''So far as I know, Becker had nothing to do with this case" the gunman also declared. Tt was a gamblers fight"
 Cirofici averred he was five miles away at the time the crime was committed and that "Whitey Lewis" Seidenshiner, although present at the scene of the shooting, did not fire any of the shots. Cirofici made no at- tempt, however, to deny that he was included in the original plot to slay Rosenthal, even admit ting that he and other gangsters had sought Rosenthal two nights before the staying.
 They were frightened away from Rosenthal on that occasion by men they thought were de tectives. The condemned man also admitted that early on the night of the actual killing he was in the gray murder car" with the gunmen, but he insist ed that he left them before they shot the gambler. He did not explain precisely why he left the other gunmen just prior to the shooting, but two reasons are advanced. One is that he be- came frightened and the other that he deserted in order to bail out his sweetheart, Jean Gordon, who had been arrested.

Though the patrons of each
school district usually supple

all the children between the ages
of six and eighteen. There are
separate schools for the white

generally, take a fairly good in

cile. The leading patrons, who
have come to realize the necessi-
ty of an education, are greatly
interested, especially in the SUBJ
ject of agriculture, which is be-
ing extensively taught through
out the State. The teaching of
this subject in the common
schools has wrought a wonderful
influence over the agricultural
interest of the State, since the

that the farm is the best place

shall only attempt to give a
concise description of Georgia
and its people. | believe sever
al of the Central and Northern
people have the wrong knowl>
edge of the Southern people,
therefore | shall give a short sto-
ry of Georgia and its people for
the benefit of those interested.
Georgia, the Empire State of
the South, is the largest State
East of the Mississippi. 1t was
founded>by James Edward Ogle-
thorpe, in 1913, as a home for
poor. The colony was not very
prosperous at first. These peo-
pie who had failed to support
themselves in the old world,
found it very difficult to provide
for themselves in the wilderness,
but more energetic immigrants
soon entered the colony, and it
began to prosper. 1t still exists
as a refuge for poor and unfort-
innate teachers. There are quite
a number of teachers from Ken
lucky and Tennessee here.
The State is divided by relief
forms into three distinct regions,
or divisions, called Souther Geor-
gia, Middle Georgia and Northern
Georgia. In Southern Georgia
near the coast, the land is low
and swampy, but when properly
drained, it is admirably adapted
to the cultivation of rice. Slight
ly elevated above the coast re-
gion, is a level tract of country
known as the pine Barrens,"
and North of this is an undulat-
ing section covered with long
leaf pine as the characteristic
growth. Middle Georgia is hill
ly, and the characteristic vegeta-
ton is similar to that of the billy
parts of Kentucky. Northern
Georgia is noted for it's fine seem
cry. Here, the surface is
wrought into rugged and pictur-
esque forms of the terminal
ridges and detached peaks of the
Appalachian highland.
The climate is very delightful.
1t varies from sub-tropical in the
South, to temperate in the North.
The rainfall is just a little great
err than that of Kentucky. Snow
is seldom seen except in the eX-
IRENE Northern part of the State.
The dry and pure atmosphere of
the pine region, makes it a ia
vorite winter resort for Northern
visitors. The climate is very
healthful, with the exception of
a small, low region in the ex-
IRENE South.
The soil of Georgia is general
ly fertile, and yields a generous
crop when we'll cultivated. The
farmers have been slow to give
up the old methods of farming,
and adopt the modern, but it
seems that the time has dawned
now when they will abandon
those methods that scientific
farmers have proved to be poor,

BRING FAMOUS HOAX BACK TO

Booster Buys "Cardiff Giant to lie

The following news dispatch sent
out from Ft. Dodge, brings to men,
DRY similar hoax which was sue
cessfully pulled off in Leon some
years ago by the irrepresslDle
