PERMANENT ROADS
FOR THOMAS COUNTY

Thomasville, Ga, February roads
for Thomas county is the slogan here
now and those behind the movement
state that they are an assured? Thorn
as county will have paved highways
such as will not need rebuilding al
ter long-continued rains as is the
case with most of the roads in this
section now.
The rains this winter have shown
the need Of roads that can be tray
eled in spite of the weather, and will
not have places as it the case now, on
even the best Of them, where automo-
biles will be stuck in the mud. The
fact that the residents of the country
districts are coming forward in favor
Of permanent roads in the result Of
the fact that every well-to-do farmer
now has his car and he wants to be
able to come to town in it whenever
he feels so inclined. He also wants
to be able to haul his products to
market in cars or trucks and realizes

COTTON ACREAGE
TO BE DECREASED
MEETING TO BE HELD IN MACON
FED c FOR PURPOSE

A mass meeting of Georgia farmers
and others interested in the price OF
cotton will be held at Macon next
Thursday February 6. The meeting
has been called by Commissioner of
Agriculture J. j. Brown, VINO states
that he has received replies from
every section of the state, not only
accepting his invitation but stating
that large delegations Of farmers and
business men were coming.
The meeting is primarily for the
purpose of perfecting a statewide or
ganization to work for a reduction in
the Georgia cotton acreage in 1919,
and to continue to present holding
movement. Mr.. Brown believes that
the acreage must be materially reduc-
ed if the 1919 crop is to be sold at a
price that will pay the farmers for
raising it, and that the cotton now
in the warehouses must be kept off
the market until the present prices
h2ye advanced.
This meeting will give every one
interested in the matter AN opportun-
ity to present their views, and to
form an organization that will be able
to work together toward a definite
end. Every farmer, bank president
and cashier, every newspaper editor
supply merchants, chamber of COM
merce secretaries and president, etc.
will be invited to attend.
The subject of cotton prices, both
present and future, is of very great
Importance to every man doing bust
ness in the cotton growing states.
Cotton prices can be protected by
the cooperation of the farmers and
business men of the South, but Mr.
Brown believes that unless it is pos
sible to get these farmers and bust
ness men organized upon a mutually
satisfactory basis, cotton prices will
fall to a point that means nothing
short CT disaster to the South.

PROTEST MADE in
MARY POWERS CASE

Atlanta, Feb. 3.-The action of Re
corder Johnson of this city in hold
ing over Mary Powers, the pretty
cafe waitress whose relations with
John Henry Abbott caused the letters
wife to kill him, has created quite a
sensation in this city, and for a time
the shooting of Abbott has been over
Swallowed by a lively discussion Of the
question as to whether the girl could
be held as an accessory before the
fact, this being the charge on which
she was bound over.
The Recorder took the position
that her persistence in calling Abbott
to the telephone at his residence was
directly responsible for the sudden
fame of wrath in which his wife shot
him Accordingly he bound over the
girl under bond of $500. as an acces-
sorry before the fact. She made bond
without much difficulty and is now at
liberty.
Indignant protests are being heard
on every side against the extreme APP
plicaticn of the law in her case. 1t
is not the disposition of the public
to sanction her intimacy with mar
ried man, but nobody can see how her
telephone calls could be construed as
the cause Of the shooting, at least to
the extent of holding her criminally
responsible.

great international league to prevent
future wars.

Thorson was called and testified
that he had been employed as state

penses on work for the governor.
He said that he had paid Witt a
total of S965 for aiding him in pro-
noting wrestling matches, held dur
ing the spring and early summer,
and had paid him $3.50 Of this sum
in installments of $3.50 and $500
dated September IS and October s,
respectively. The money was for
publicity assistance, he said, and was
paid in currency.
Witness said that he could not
account in any way for two checks
of $3.50 which he deposited, and did
not remember for what he had re-
ceived the money.
In his last appearance on the
stand, Attorney General Havner told
the committee that neither he nor
anyone else had found any evidence
at any time that Governor Harding
had received one penny in the par
don matter.
This admission came after the at
torney general had been on the stand
for several hours.

Hindenburg and myself had no
doubt that if we must fight we
could still continue the war for
some months.
THE utmost exertion of strengt,
might, perhaps, have had sober
ing effect on enemy peoples and
brought us a bearable peace. On
October Is, Won Hindenburg and l
submitted this idea to the kaiser
and later to Vice Chancellor Won
Payer. We gained the impression
that the imperial government no
longer was willing to fight, but was
ready to accept the hardest condi-
tons.

ton, but at Won Hindenburg's re-
quest | did not dispatch it. | i'm
