Franks guilt to permit such a stain as his execu-
ton to rest on the good name of Georgia. He was
but one of hundreds of Georgia's leading citizens
who urged me to intervene"
''Ihe leading citizens" who urged Slaton
to intervene, were mostly the lawyers of the
Jew-oWned L. & n. Railroad system
The only other leading citizen that /
cen recall who importuncd Slaton, was Mr.
Thomas Loyless, Of the Augusta Chronicle,
and Mr.. Loyless wrote that he believed
Frank to be guilty, but at the request of
several friends he would ask the Governor
not to allow the Law enforced against this
man whom he believed to be guilty.
1t does not appear that Mr. Loyless'
"friends" troubled him in the Cantrell cases,
the Umphrey case, or the Nick Wilburn
case; and therefore Mr. Loyless allowed the
Law to take its course
AS to the letter which Slaton has garruI-
ously talked about, ever since he fled the
State, 1t neuer eristed.
Judge Roam never wrote such a letter;
and the fake that was presented in the case
was an outrage practised on an upright and
Christian gentleman, who had been dead
nearly three months before that letter was
forged.
Bill Howard was afraid to trust that
precious document out of his hands, until he
placed it IN the hands of his associate CONN.,

Oh you gutter snipes of Atlanta
Oh you denizens of the dives
Oct back to your cutters, and your dives,

John Slaton home! Hide out, and stay hid.
You tried to stain ''the escutcheon Of our
great State" and it was something that
Straus, and Haas, and Montag, and Slaton
would not stand for.
You might have known that Sig Montag,
and Isaac Haas wouldn't allow mere gutter
snipes, and dive rif-raf to stain our
"escutcheon."
Benjamin Phillips tolerate such miscon-
duct.
'Innocent blood" Innocent
Straus says, "this boy is innocent"
Slaton says he was convicted without
law or evidence, and that his ''blood" is
innocent!
Then, what is he doing at the State

that two of DR.. Poteats boys graduated out

I'm not grumbling against the lads for
desiring a good thing, and getting it so
easily: what | contend is, that such a system
IS profoundly wrong.
Could these boys have got call to two
churches, at a salary of $500 apiece, with q
yearly vacation of three months and a
mansion, rent free?
Is there any church work in this country
where boys and girls can secure employ
ment at salaries equal to $4,000 year?

These young ministers, and these ambiti-

BIG BUSINESS USES BIC CREDIT.

It is the only way that they can conduct their business. It would be impossible for a majority of them to continue in business for six months if they were obliged to pay cash. How about the private individual or fam ily2 It is just as important for them to use credit as it is for the big busi- ness. It is an honorable way of buy ing goods paying for them at some future date when they have the cash in hand
 Cheerful credit gives this oppor- tunity-all who wish may buy wear ing apparel that might possibly be be- yond their reach if it were necessary to pay cash. Values just as great as are found in the cash stores are said to be offered by Ceasar M1sch, Inc. who by reason of their immense buying power. being one of 9 chain of stores, are enabled to offer, at low est prices clothing and wearing ap- parel of all kinds that the small re- taller must get more money for. 4.
 Saturday is to be a special demon stration day of the leadership in its chosen field which this store occupies. On that day every department will contribute something towards making ! it apparent that buying on cheerful credit is both p1easurable and profit able.

TOMMY ATKINS
 IN TROUSERS

The British infantry soldiers first wore trousers ntnety-t two years ago today, June IS, 1928. It is not to be thought that previous to that time Tommy Atkins had nougIlt where with to cover his legs. He wore brooches or panta1oons until the memorable days in 1923, when the Duke of York, as commander-in- chief, issued an order stating that His Majesty has been pleased to ap- prove of the discontinuance of breech- es, 1eggings, and shoes, as part of the clothing of infantry soldiers; and of blue grey cloth trousers and half boots being substituted.'' Ever since then British soldiers-except the ScOtchmen, who still cling to their kilts-have gone forth to kill and be killed wearing. trousers upon their neither limbs. Before the era of trousers pantaloons were sometimes worn by British privates, brooches at others but gaiters or 1eggings in aI- most every instance. At various times different regiments wore brooches of red, green, blue, purple and other colors. In 1759 the foot soldiers who fought with Wolfe in Canada had a sort of knee-cap cover ing the brooches and gaiters.

Cost of Mining Diamonds

The dazzling beauty of tho. diamond wffh-its dncessant flashes of sparkling brilI1ancy makes it the most fascinat- ing ard most desired of ali precious stones, notwithstanding steadily ad- vancfngapTi after year.
 Facts gieaned from annual reports of the De Beers Consolidated Mines siderable light on the subject of costs Of producing diamonds.
 This company has controlled the source~of the drniaond supply in South Africa since 1889 and are an authority on matters pertaining to the mining of the most previous of all stones found.
 The richest diamond mine in the world returns but six dollars gross for each ton of diamond bearing rock mined.
 From this six dollars must be de- ducted the costly operations of min ing such as drilling, blasting, elevat- ing to the surface. transporting. weatherfng for six to eight months, washing, screening, picking sorting, etc.
 In order to give some basis for com parison-The American contractor re- @ceives from $500 to $500 per ton for excavatfng rock alone
 From thirty-five to forty tons of ssb1ue ground''l or diamond bearing rock must be mined and rehandled several times in order to win one diamond that is perfect or free from flaws and of good color which will weigh when properly cut one-ha1f of one carat.
 A half carat diamond measures about 3-16 of an inch in diameter.
 Each year as the mine shafts are driven deeper into the bowls of the earth the costs of operations become proportionate1y greater, while the number of diamonds found to the ton of material removed grow fewer and fewer.
 Tn the rough, as found, diamonds are octahedron, or eight sided, also of irregular shapes, the majority of which are too poor in color, too inn perfect or badly broken to be used for personal adornment and are uti- Iized for mechanical purposes.
