PLENTY OF PORK IN GEORGIA
SHOULD HELP COST OF LIVING

ATLANTA, March Plenty of pork
in Georgia for 1917 is the news that
comes from south Georgia and from
middle Georgia and from north Geor~
gia All up and down the state, the
smoke-houses are full, and smoke
wreaths are curling from the hickory
embers here hams and shoulders are
being cured.
Georgia may be short on cotton for
all future time because of the boil
weevil, but there will never be dearth
of pork gain as long as the doctrine of
Give at home" continues to be prac-
ticed in the matter of raising food
stuffs throughout the state.

1900 MILES IS
BROUGHT TO CITY

Motion pictures taken in the midst
of battle by Wilbur H. Durborough.
Think of looking at an actual battle
fought before your eyes! Think OF
sitting in theatre four thousand miles
from a battle front and seeing unroll
before the majestic panorama of war!
Can anything be more thrilling-more
vivid in its tense realism? There will
be exhibited at the Opera House on
March 9Th continuously every day the
oflicia war film of the German and
Austrian governments.
1t is no exaggeration to say that this
series of motion pictures represent the
most achievement of a film camera.
taken by Wilbur H. Durborough, Off
cial press photographer, man who
feared nothing-who went under gov
eminent authority into the thickest of
the fight, others have tried to accom-
plish what Durborough has done.
In seeing ION the Firing Line With
the Germans" you wonder at these
marvellous pictures, you get instruction
and enlightenment as to the actual
conditions of The war, and at the same
time you contribute to the cause of re-
lieving the suffering caused by the I'M
paralleled conflict.

SENATOR SMITH APPEARS TO
HAVE SILENCED SOME CRITICS

ATLANTA. Ga, March IA num-
Der of Atlanta lawyers who signed the
petition against the SmithWebb feder-
81 judgeship bill have come to the
conclusion that no hardship will be
imposed by the bill upon Judge w. T.
Newman, of the United States court in
the northern district of Georgia.
Instead of retiring Judge Newman,
as some of the beneficiaries of receiv-
eIship fees and certain lawyers have
contended, the bill merely provides
that where a federal district judge has
passed the age of 70 years, the presi-
dent may, in his discretion, appoint an
additional judge; and provides that in
the event of such an appointment the
elder judge shall try as many or as few
cases as he chooses and draw full pay
for the balance of his life. In Con-
gress, the bill is strictly an admins
tration measure, supported by Presi-
dent Wilson and practically all the
democrats of both the house of boil
the house and senate.
Briefly stated, the purpose of the bill
is to provide for more expeditions
handling of court business where tn;
incumbent judge is 70 years or over
without depriving the elder judge o
