M'NEILk COTTON
GINISDESTROYED
Hot Pulley Causes So,
900 Fire NO In.
SuranCe

Fire, believed to have originated
from friction pulley, destroyed the
cotton gin house of R. D. McNeill, in
the New Era settlement northeast of
Americus, about o'clock this morn
ing.
The gin was in operation at the
time it caught fire, but so quickly
did the flames spread, because of the
cotton lint about the place that all
efforts to check them were futile.
The entire plant was destroyed, in
Guiding about five bales of seed cot
ton, and seed from about 85 bales
was damaged Several bales were
pulled to safety. All of the cotton
destroyed was owned on the Nc
Neill farm, some of it being partly
owned by tenants.
The entire loss is estimated by Mr..
McNeill at about $4,000, with no in
surance.

LEAGUE TO VOTE
In FOES TODAY
GENEVA, Dec. 15.-Austria was
elected a member of the League of
Nations by the assembly today.

GENEVA, Dec 15.-(By Asso
ciated Press. )-Discussio of the
question of mandates on the
floor of the Assembly of the League
of Nations today seemed probable,
and it was expected there would be
animated debate before the subjct
was disposed of. Statements of dele
gates reflected the view that before
the end of the week the Who'll quqes-
ton will be fullv considered.
The Assembly, which has been dis
posing of only one subject a day
since Monday, tried today to make
better progress. On the program was
the task Of electing new members
to the League, choosing four new
elective members of the Council and
disposing of questions regarding
"white slave" traffic and OPIUM
trade, which were left over from yes
terday's session. 1t appeared Aus
tria probably would be admitted to
the League without oppo3ition and
that Bulgaria also would be accord
ed membership. 1t seemed probable
Brazil would again be given place
on the Council and that a similar
honor would be given Spain. China
has many supporters as successor
to Greece and it appears Norway will
replace Belgium.

TOTSDYINC OF
HUNGER, STATE
WILL RESPOND
Whirlwind Campaign Is
Organized In Atlanta
To Aid Helpless

ATLANTA, Dec. 15.-(Special. J
The cry of three and half million
starving children of Europe to the
people of the United States, to keep
them from dying of hunger and cold
this winter, came home to Georgia
Tuesday when there was formed in
Atlanta the nucleus of state organi-
AaUlon to raise Georgia's share OF
national fund of $4,000, 1000.
To the committee, hurriedly call
ed together, there were shown pic
lures of little boys and girls with
the wan, pinched faces of men and
women of forty. These were actual
photographs of the children who are
doomed unless America acts quick
ly. To the committee were also
read the reports of Herbert Hoover,
the American Red Cross, and every
other organization that has repre-
sentatives in the sticken nations, es-
tablishing beyond the question of
doubt that, if America does not meet
the appeal before the next harvest.
death from starvation and freezing
is as certain for these babies as the
rising of tomorrow's sun.
Won't Let Then Die.
The committee did not discuss
matters long. One member rose and
said:
81 am not going to let any child
die at my feet for lack of a ten dol
lar bill, and just because it happens
these children are on the other side
of the world doesn't make any diff
ference to me. can't look at
picture liks this and sit still, and if
I know anything about the people
of Georgia they will pawn their
watches and let their own children
go without Santa Claus when they
see what we have seen and heard
what we have heard. before they
will let these children die"
The committee voted unanimously
to undertake a whirlwind campaign
in Georgia to take care of $4,000
children as the states quota, and to
make every effort to raise the mon
ey for that purpose by Christmas.
