ROB REX BANK OF
$500 IN BONDS
AND.WAR STAMPS

REX. ;Ga,-Detectives are at
work in this section on clue
that it is hoped will land in Jail
the men who robbed the Bank of
Rex of 200 worth of Liberty bonds
and thrift stamps about II o'clock
Sunday night. Although the banks
quarters were badly damaged by the
explosions caused by the robbers in
their attempts to get into the bank
vault, business is being carried on
as usual. The banks funds in the
vault were not molested, thanks to
the resisting power of the door,
which failed to yield to the explo-
sives.
A man who said that he was too
sick to investigate the cause of the
noise reported to the officials of
the bank that he heard an explosion
about II o'clock Sunday night. Of
ficers of the bank on arrival Mon
day morning, found that the front
door lock hat been "jimmied". and
that the lock of the vault door had
been blown off. The door was ruin
ed and there was considerable dam
age to other equipment. A quantity
Of explosives left on the premises
may help to identify the robbers, it
is hoped. 1t is believed that the
yeggs made their way towards At
lanta after leaving Rex.

DEMOCRATS OF
STATE CALLED BY
CHAIRMAN FLYNT

A meeting of the Democratic state
executive committee has been cali
ed by the chairman, Judge James 7.
Flynt, of Griffin, at 10 o'clock on
the morning of Friday, February 6,
in the convention hall of the KIM
ball House.
The purpose of the meeting is to
consider what mode of procedure
shall be followed in determining tha
choice of Georgia Democrats for the
presidential nominee of the party.
by that time it is expected that the
Democratic presidential situation
will have crystallized, SO that the
committee will be able to act with
definite lights before them.
Whether 20 have a preferential
primary to determine Georgias
choice, or to let Georgia's choice
be determined by state con-
vention, will be the questions con-
sidered by the state committee.
In the event of a preferential
primary it probably will be held in
April, and county executive commit
tees are requested in the meantime to
/ old off the fixing of dates for
county primaries, so that these can
be held on The same day as the pre-
ferential primary, if the latter is
held.
Should there be no preferential
primary, the procedure would be to
have the county executive commit
tees name delegates to state con-
vention, and this convention would
either decide Georgia's choice for the
Democratic presidential nomination
or send an uninstructed delegation to
San Francisco.

FEDERAL PRISON
BUYS BIG FARM
NEAR ATLANTA

The United States government has
purchased 1850 acres of. bottom land
in DeKalb county to be utilized by
the federal penitentiary as a prison
farm for the cultivation of such
food products as are required by the
intimates of the big institution. The
purchase represents an investment
of $162, 900, the average price paid
being about $122 per acre; About
5000 or $4,000 will be expended
in improvements on the property,
bringing the total investment to ap-
proximately 100000.
The land was purchased by War
den Fred Zerbst, acting for tha de-
partment of justice and comprises
several smaller farms, which were
owned by G. 3. Scott, of Decatur,
DR.. John K Her, of Atlanta, William
Marion Nichols, of Atlanta, and Will
lam Marcus Nichols, of ,Atlanta,# The
lands owned .oy Messrs. Scott and
Keller have heretofore been used as
dairy farm, but with their pur-
chase by the government the dairy
has been abandoned and the cattle
will be sold. -..,,r,
The farm is situated on Sugar
creek and South river and the lands
are regarded as among the most
fertile in Dekalb county. The farm
is about four miles from the peni-
tertiary and it will be necessary for
the government to construct dorIni-
tories for the prisoners who are to
work the farm. These improvements
will be undertaken in the near
future.
1--WE expect to use about 200 pris-
oners at the farm, when the dorhai-
tories have been constructed, ex-
planned Warden Zerbst. For the i'm
mediate present we will use the
dwelling houses that are now on the
property as quarters for the men
who are to cultivate the land.
mo cotton will be cultivated, but
practically every other product Of
the farm will be raised. We expect
to produce enough corn to feed our
stock, and in addition supply an
abundance of food for the beef cat
tie and hogs we propose to raise at
the farm. All kinds of vegetables
will be cultivated, but none of our
produce will be sold. The farm will
in no sense, compete with the
trucking interests around Atlanta"

California Reports ....
Heavy Increase in
New Influenza Cases

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Two
hundred and sixty-four cases Of in
fiuenza for the week ending Satur-
day, as compared with twenty-four
cases for the previous week, were
reported by California today to Ru-
pert Blue, head of the United States
public health service.
Sixty cases, all described as mild,
were reported from the naval hospi-
tai at Portsmouth, Va, although
only two cases were reported from
that city.
Public health officials said these
reports are not SO alarming as they
might be, because it is believed that
physicians now are more careful
about advising the government of
influenza cases, than previously.
All possible precautions to pre-
vent the malady reaching an cpl
demic stage are being taken, it was
said at DR.. Blues office.

cities.
President Andrew M. Soule stated

"The state of Georgia is confronted
by one of the greatest crisis in it's
history. We have lost last year
through the depredations of the boil

a heavier prospective loss this year, "
said DR.. Soule.
"The disruption Of our farming
industry is to be avoided at any cost
and to this end the Georgia State
College of Agriculture is promoting
work along lines which will minimize
this situation. The boil weevil

zens that definite practical and vital
information they must have in order
to meet and combat the weevil in

MAYO says letter
To DANIELS IN ND
SENSE A PROTEST

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Rear
Admiral Henry 7. Mayo commander
in-chief of the United States fleet
during the war, told the senate COM
mittee investigating naval awards
that his letter to Secretary Dan
iels on December %. declaring
that the Knight board did not give
sufficient consideration to service at
sea, particularly to the duties and
responsibilities of members of the
staff Of the communicable Of
the fleet, was not to be considered
in any sense one of protest. He read
The letter at the request Of Chair
man Hale.
Admiral Mayo look a view diane
trically opposed to that expressed by
Rear Admiral Sims, who told the
subcommittee the Knight board. in
granting awards gave too little cor
sidera.ion to the records of officers
who served on shore. The navy de-
partment made public Admiral
Mayo's letter on the subject some
days ago.
Lie C<AtlIllA4lGlllOll VI <AuIllll oil Md U
began under the ruling made
by the senate naval committee
that the present Investigation
should be confined entirely to the
question of war decoration awards,
charges made by Admiral Sims that
the navy department. did not coop
crate fully with the allies durine
the war being deferred for later in
vestigation.
Made Few recommendations
Admiral Mayo said his letter was
written after practically all of his
recommendations had been changed
or disapproved by the board or Sec
rotary Daniels.
Il made very few recommended
tons for awards" he said, mostly
in the cases of members of my per-
sonaI staff, force commanders and
commanders operating Independently.
In the case of Captain o. P. Jackson,
my chief of staff, 1 took, a very
conservative view and recommended
a navy cross. In view of other COM
manders recommending their chief
aides for distinguished service med
ais, the board increased by recon-
mendations to a distinguished service
medal, but Secretary Daniels reduced
it back to a navy cross. Captain
Jackson was the only member of
my staff, I believe, who finally re-
ceived any decoration at all"
Testifying that Admiral Sims was
supposed to be under his COM
mand during the war, Admiral Mayo
said that in order to facilitate mat
ters Admiral Sims did not report to
him, but directly to the navy de-
partment.
Mayo Defends Board
Lack of a definite policy for the
award of navy honors may have
had a bearing on the decoration situ-
alton, Admiral Mayo said, adding
Both the board and the secretary
were acting within their rights and
prerogatives in changing recommen.
dations for awards"
But don't you believe, Admiral
that the board and the secretary
should have consulted YOU before
changing your recommendations? ."
asked Chairman Hale.
mo, [ do not replied the Ad-
miral. 81 onot believe it would
have" been practicable. 1t might
have been desirable, however"
Il do not say I was satisfied with
the result of the action of the board
and the secretary" added Admiral
Mayo, but 7 do say that they had
the right to take such action as they
wished and to assume the RESPONSE,
