JOHN HENRY HARDEN
ONCE MORE IN PRISON
Noted Cherokee County Prohibition
Violator Tries Bribery On
Federal Officer

John Henry Harden, Cherokee
county moonshiner, whose operations
have worried federal officers for
years, is being held in Jail, unable to
make a $4,000 bond, following his
arrest Monday afternoon, charged
with attempting to bride an Official of
the United States government
According to the government Har-
den proposed that Officer Dixon
should do all in his power to prevent
raids on "moonshine trust" in
Cherokee county, and should keep
them informed, through Harden, of
the activities Of other officers in that
county.
Harden was bound over to the
April term Of the federal grand jury
after United States Commissioner w.
Colquitt Carter had heard testimony
of federal prohibition agents to the eff
feet that Monday afternoon, shortly
after 2:30 o'clock, Harden had paid
Federal Prohibition Agent E. E. Dix
on $500 in cash, and promised him
an additional sum of $500 each
month, in return for protection to be
given him in his unlawful distilling
and whiskey smuggling.
The officers worked a dictaphone
into room where the transaction
took place and had also a witness to
the paying over of the $500 bride
money which is held against Harden.
Harden has not given out any state
ment about the affair. Herbert Clay,
of Marietta, has been employed by
Harden to defend him.

WANDERERS RETURN TO
The COBB COUNTY JAIL
Two Men Who Sawed Out Last No.
vember Are Coming Back
In March

0. H. Bruce is back again, and E.
E. Randolph is coming too. And in
spite of their former complaints
against the board of the Cobb county
Jail, it is there that they will take up
residence once more, at least for a
time.
Bruce and Randolph, it will be re-
|membered are couple of the trio
of literary inclined Jail birds who
flew the coop just before the GRIMM
al week of November court in this
county.
They had a partner in their fight,
who is perhaps more wary and he
has as yet not made any summer re-
servations of room and board with
the county, but there is still hope that
even this wanderer may return.
Bruce has a forgery charge to
answer, Randolph, one of theft, while
the missing brother was booked for
bigamy. When they departed the
city on a Sunday night in November
they each left message to the sheriff
written upon scented lavender note
paper.
The notes left the sheriff by the
two who now return read as follows:
You are real nice man, but we
just couldn't stand your board, and
then you know we had too many wo-
men, checks and diamonds. We Just
couldn't stand the pressure. Dear
Mr.. Swanson, I forgot to get Mr..
Owens bank book when / was get
ting the diamonds, so / am gone back
to get it. E. E. R."
II got lot of checks, but l have
gone where the checks are more plen-
tiful, and where the work is not hard.
Is that not right? / thought so.
o. H. B."
The Sheriff got back from Texas
with Bruce on Wednesday, while
Randolph, who has been located in
New Orleans, is held for an officer to
bring him to Georgia.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
STILL BARS HOOVERITES

1t is apparent that if the Hoover
ties of Georgia wish to vote for Mr..
Hoover they will have to do it out
side the official Democratic primary
in this state.
The order has been passed that
the subcommittee will be supported
by the majority of the state com
mittee, and as the subcommittee is
standing "pat" on their original rul-
ing against Mr.. Hoover the incident
lis "offically closed"
Still however there may be a re-
volt in Georgia against the party of
the subcommittee, whose action i'm
plies that the Democratic party is
full grown and does not desire any
new members, or at least in import
ant positions
AS Mr. Hoover seems to have not
a few advocatses in the state, the &C
ton of the committee bids fair to
reduce the voting power of the par.
ty in the state, if it goes no fur.
Their in the matter.
A great many people in the state
who do not give a boot for Hoover,
feel keenly that an injustice has
been done the free voters of Georgia

TWO CARS IN CLASH
ON AN OPEN STREET

Quite a serious accident was mar
rowly averted on Atlanta street on
Monday morning when the Benson
Bakery car, driven by young man,
ran into the car of County Agent Nc
Mahan, smashing one wheel and o
fender and knocking down Mr.. Bern
ard Awtrey who was about to get into
the McMahan car.
AS is was, Mr.. Awtrey sustained q
number of bruises and several cuts
about the face which were very pain.
full, but not dangerous.
Mr.. McMahan was in his car at the
time and Mr.. Awtrey had approached
to enter it when the bakery car drove
down upon them at speed so great
that the driver could not check il
in time to prevent the collision. One
of the tires on the bakery car "blew
out" and the driver had turned to
look back at this as he approached
the McMahan car, which he saw too
date, although the street was clear Of
other vehicles at the time and he
might othrwise have easily driven
around it.
Speeding on Atlantis street is dan
gerous, and the corner at the court
house is particularly dangerous one
on account of the usual crowded
crossings, still we expect it will take
a fatal accident to bring drivers
down to the safety point.

WHAT THE RAILROADS
CLAIM

/. That private ownership and
operation of the railroads, with
proper government regulations, is
not only more efficient than gov
eminent ownership and operation,
but more in keeping with tradi-
tons which have made this country
great.
2. That. the existing railroad
lines should be developed to their
highest usefulness, and new lines
should be built in such unserVed
territory as promises valuable de-
velopment. -
8. That railroad investment
must therefore be made attractive
to private investors.
a. And that the railroad indus
try should attract and retain the
ablest type of men.

to talks by men prominent in the en-
gineering profession, and also for the
purpose of discussing local and ma
tional problems of engineering edu-
cation.
The Atlanta City Council has voted
to increase the Georgia Tech appro-
priation from $4,000 to $4,000 for
next year. Of this amount $4,000
is for the day school and $4,000 for
the night School of Applied Science.
This appropriation is looked upon as
an investment rather than a dona-
ton, for a conservative estimate
places the amount of money that
Tech brings each year to Atlanta at
a million dollars.
1t costs the government $1065 per
day to maintain the r. o. T. C. unit
at Georgia School of Technology.
This amount includes pay for the
military personnel, pay for the mem
bers of the unit who are taking the
advanced course, cost of the uniforms
supplied students, and investment in
equipment furnished.
Just before the holidays members
of the advanced course were paid
$500. This amount was for commu.
tation of rations (pay) for three
months. Approximately 200 men are
engaged in the advance work, and
about one third of these will com
plete the work and be graduated in
June.

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS
FOR THE BEST NAME
For The Greater Georgia Booster As
sociation Which Has just
Been Organized +

Somebody in Georgia is going to
get $25 for suggesting suitable and
appropriate name for the new organi-
cation formed at Triton, Ca, on
March 4, when the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce and the Georgia Land
owners Association were consolidated
into one big body which will work for
the development of Georgia along
every line.
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey heads
special committee which will receive
suggestions from Georgians ambi-
tious to win the $25 reward and
names will be received at the COVER
nor's Office at the state capitol until
noon on March 20 when the contest
closes. All the names suggested will
then be submitted to the executive
commissee, which will pass on the
matter and make the reward. If more
than one person should send in the
same chosen, the first suggestion
reaching the governors office will re-
ceive the $25 reward.
The consolidation of the two big
booster organizations has been
characterized as one of the epochal
events in the history of Georgia. The
development of industry, agriculture,
business and all lines of economic ac-
tivity is aimed at by the new organi-
zation and by united effort it is pro-
posed to utilize Georgia's tremendous
resources to the fullest extent.

PATIENCE AND VISION

Link Patience with Vision work the two double harness

Vision and Patience stand constant rebuke to those

That especially true, far the problems arising of
our social relations concerned. And in this connection
it would probably be found that social problems pre-
sent national crisis unless there great many people
who are in very great hurry do something other
Patience and vision WISE They know that it is not so
much by reasonof being served by serving that human
creatures are brought into normal community relations with
their fellows Therein lies thecret of Community Service asst
conceived It is not omuch that through Community
Service the individual is mstered is that through
Community Service the individual ministers to the com
nunity.
Community Service organized by Patience and Vision,
constitutes an open door. Through that door the individual
can pass and be something in and for the community In
order to unite those who may be separated by prejudice by
passion, by misunderstanding it is only necessary unite
them in common objective Those who working for the
end cannot forever continue King against each other
Community Service has in time to stand for
both Organization and for Idea. AS organization
Community Service has back oft this principle Community
Service is the medium through which the residents of

THE HORSE AND THE MOTOR

Even though it may be true that
the motor-driven vehicle has begun
to put the farm horse ION the run"
there is no evidence that he has de-
veloped much speed, and his total
value still compares favorably with
other classes of farm animals. On
January /, 1920, the Bureau of Crop
Estimates of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture estimated
the total value of horses on farms in
this country at 81 100000, or
just little below the value of milk
cows, which was $2,O22, 100000.
