Cell Awaits Woman
Sentenced to Death

ALBANY-MrS. Hattie Dixon, OF
New York, may be the third woman
to die in the electric chair at Sing
Sing. She has just been sentenced
to death for the murder of Mary
Morton, and superintendent of Pris-
ons Rattigan annouced that he is
making special arrangements for he1
reception at the prison. She is not
to be incarceratcd in the death
house with the twenty-eight mer
there now, because there are no ac-
comodations for women, but will be
lodged in a room in a separate cell
block and will be guarded day and
night by three matrons working or
eight-hour shifts.
Mrs. Dixon induced her seventeen
year-old son to kill the Morton girl
SO that she could collect her $500
life insurance. She promised the
boy 500 reward. Young Dixon shot
the girl and was later sentenced to
die, but because of his youth Gov
ernor Smith committed the sentence
to life Imprisonment.
This is the first time in ten years
that a woman has been waiting death
at Sing Sing. In 1909 Mary l.. Farmer
| of Watertown, was electrocuted for
| the murder of two aged couples and
in 1899 Martha Place, of New York
| her lover.

URGES FARMERS
TO GET BUSY ON
LATEFOODCROPS

\ mat grave Situation exis sin
Georgia with regard to food Coos
and that a serious shortage of15sed-
stuffs will occur this fall and winter
unless immediate steps are taken to
remedy existing conditions, is the
prediction made by M. c. Gay, sec
rotary of the farm bureau of the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce, I'm a
statement issued Saturday.
Mr.. Gay has just returned from
trip through one of the finest farm
ing sections of Georgia and declares
that conditions as he saw them in
dicate a situation that is becom-
ing more and more critical. Despite
the handicap of a late, wet planting
season. and serious shortage of
labor, the farmers have 1abored many
hours a day, and have the crops in
good shape as far as cultivation is
concerned, he says. 1t is noticeable,
however, that the acreage in food
crops is greatly reduced from that
of last year.
Urging farmers to plant late corn,
cowpeas and other food crops, Mr.
Gay asserts that it is still possible
to raise enough food and feedstuffs
to avert crisis this winter, al
though it cannot be expected that the
crops will be of as good quality or
as bountiful as might have been an
ticipated with an earlier planting,
Truck crops are desirable even at
this time, he states. l..
The State College of Agriculture is
cooperating with the farm bureau of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce in
stimulating interest among farmers

SENATOR SMITH
SEEKS TO MOVE
COAL SHIPMENTS

Senator Hoke Smith has requested
the interstate commerce commission
to modify the recently promulgated
order restricting the use of open-top
cars to the shipment of coal for
thirty days, asking the commission
to remove the application of the
order so far as this section is con-
cerned, in order that there need be
no lessening of building and road
construction work in Georgia.
The commissioner order NO. z, eff
fective June 81, restricted the use
of open-top cars to the movement of
coal for thirty days. A strong pro-
test resulted from people engaged in
road building and in general con-
struction work throughout Georgia,
as it made the movement of their
materials practically impossible for
that period.
Senator Smith investigated the sit
uation, and found that coal was be-
ing moved normally in Alabama be-
fore the order. and that the order
appeared to be unnecessary, so far
as this section was CONCERNED. The
cars were greatly needed In the move
ment of concrete, Stag and other
material essential in construction
work in Georgia, and much of that
work will have to cease, unless the
commission modifies it's order.
Senator Smith has requested the
commission to make an investigation
and to issue a modification of order
No. so as to permit the use of open
cars for the movement Of materials
needed on roads and buildings already
under construct ion

Patrolman William Mccormick, the
oldest member of the Burlington po-
lice force, also was shot. He came
upon the robbers as they were divld-
ing their loot in a clump of woods,
six miles east of Burlington, and
ordered them to surrender. They
replied with a volley and Mccormick
fell, shot in the. side and back.
Farmers from the countryside and
residents of Burlington then COM
bined to hunt down the robbers. The
motorcycle has been captured, so it
