ATLANTA Is INFESTED
WITH BEGGARS AND CRIPPLES

ATLANTA. Ca, Feb. 27.-Atlanta
has again become infested with beggars
and cripples and paralytics sitting by
the wayside asking aims, exhibiting
their deformities as they used to in the
days of the Goliph Haroun in Bagdad,
ard beseeching the passer-by in their
whining professional voices.
There is law in Atlanta against
beggars, but it isn't enforced, though
some times the cripples who sit all
over the public sidewalks downtown
offer pencils and shoe-laces as pre-
text for their presence.
One fellow who sits on Broad street,
whose legs were cut off couple of
years ago, puts fresh white bandage
one one of his stumps every morning
so that passersby may imagine he is a
suffered just out of the hospital.
There are maybe two or three Grip
pied pencil sellers in Atlanta, who &C
tually work at their pencil-selling
trade, and who don't want aims, but
they are the exception.
Just as the cripples infest the down.
town districts, the house-to-house beg
CARS become a pest in residential
neighborhoods, while even the officer
buildings are from time to time in

MAY CHANGE NAME OF TOWN ON
ACCOUNT OF WHISKY THIEVES

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 27.-The name
Of CHARLOTTESVILLE in Troup county may
shortly be changed to Grabitville in
honor of the enterprising thieves who
steal the whisky out of the express Of
flee quicked than it can be shipped in,
thus leaving the honest citizen thirsty
and irate.
The state railroad commission has 4
petition requesting that the express Of
flee be abolished entirely, as the rob-
berries cannot be stopped, owing to the
fact that Charlottesville is small unin-
ccrporated hamlet without adequate
police protection.
A citizens committee few nights
ago caught young white man who
was trying to force an entrance into
the express office. but despite the
capture the robberies went right on.

HARRIS STILL JUGGLING WITH
EXTRA LEGISLATIVE SESSION

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. Ex-Governor
Nat E. Harris will call an extra ses-
sion of the Georgia legislature for ac~
ton on tone dry liquor bills, if there
is hitch in the passage of the bone
bone dry amendment to the postoffice
appropriation bill in congress.
This can be stated for a certainty;
and it can also be stated on the very
best of authority that the governor
may call an extra session If the bone
dry amendment does pass congress
and become law, for the advocates o.
an extra session are strongly urging
the governor to go ahead with MS
prohibition program and place the
state in a position where it will not
be dependent upon federal statutes to
keep liquor out of the state.
Both the house and senate in Wash
ington have passed the bone dry
amendment, but owing to d1fferences
between the houes and senate over
details of the postofice appropriation
bill it is not certain that the amend
ment, which is merely rider on the
BILL will become law.
1t is argued by advocates OF an eX'
ira session that should the state de-
pend on federal law to keep out IL
ouor, it might find itself flooded by a
repeal of the federal law or some
amendment thereto; whereas if the
state legislature goes ahead and enacts
a law prohibiting the shipment OF any
liquor into the state, then the ques-
ton will be definitely settled and VIII
become the fixed policy of the state

throughout the state have begun to
contribute in varying sums to the
purpose of the organization That is,

has already been donated by Congress.
The building, when completed, will be
known as a center for the spread of
knowledge of all sorts through this
country and foreign nations. In it will
be a tremendous auditorium, seating
0,O00 people, which will be open foe
use, free of charge, by national and
international congresses and conven
lions on such subjects as peace, med
ical science, art, history, education, and
so forth.
In the structure each state may
have room for its own use and as a
permanent headquarters. Any organ
ization of this kind has to pay rent.
The beautiful S3,O00,OOO building is to
be given to the nation free of charge.
Already more than 100000 is in the
treasury of the organization. and every
day the contributions, ranging from 10
cents to a thousand dollars, are COM
ing in.
Anybody who gives as much as a
dime is sent a button which bears an
inscription that the wearer if it GOWNS
brick" in the memorial.
All contributions should be sent to

HOGS ARE COMING.
TOFOREFRONT NOW

COLUMBUS, Ga, Feb. 27.-"Fifteen
wagons loaded with fine hogs formed
the prosperity procession few days
ago from two farms in Baker county.
Georgia, to Albany, where the hogs
were loaded in cars and shipped to
the packing plant at Waycross," says
the Southeast Live Stock, published in
this city by Col. Walter J. Woodall.
Zone year ago hog BREEDERS asoscia-
ton was organized in Dale county, Ala
hama, with eleven members. Today the
association has a membership, of more
than 200, and on two designated days
of each month makes regular ship
ments of hogs to market The associa-
tons last shipment, forwarded few
days ago, consisted of 610 hogs, which
filed seven cars. The shipment
brought the Dale county raisers S.
1926.
Twenty seven cars of hogs, Al of cat
tie and 60 of corn have been shipped
to market this season from Mitchell
county, Georgia.
More than 100 carloads of hogs and
l'5G of cattle and 100000 bushels of corn
will be shipped to market from Jack
son county, Florida in the period be-
! tween October l and March 81, next,
according to estimates based on ship
ments to this time.
"Co-operative shipment of hogs to
market from Mississippi counties has
attracted wide attention, because of the
volume of shipments and the success
in marketing.
These are but incidents which illus
trate what is being done in the raising
and marketing of live stock and the
substantial growth of the industry in
the Southeast Many other counties
and sections are making similar rec
ords in greater or less degree. Large
Quantities of hogs and cattle raised in
the Southeast are being bought daily
by the seven meat packing plants now
in operation in the Southeast. 1t may
be added that architectural and engin'
eering plans have been completed for
another great packing plant in the
Southeast that will cost approximately
$1,OOO,OOO.
THE money received from the sale
of live stock is helping substantially
even more to create record-breaking
bank clearings and deposits in the
Southeast, and the live stock industry
is but just making beginning. But OF
much greater importance to this line is
the cast amount of money-millions in
the aggregate that, formerly went to
other sections Off live stock products,
is to be kept in the Southeast to aid in
the enrichment and development of
this section.
1.-The Southeast has more natural adj
vantages for the raising of live stock
than are possessed by any other part
of the country, and should it sell live
stock products to itself only it would
only have a customer with the enorm-
Gus demand But in addition, it will
habe opportunity to help supply great
markets in other parts of the world"
