WOULD ABOLISH
ECHOLS COUNTY
UNUSUAL AND ALMOST UNBE-
LIEVABLE MOVEMENT RE-
PORTED FROM THERE.

VALDOSTA, Ga.-Petitions are be-
ing circulated and generally signed
that the county of Echols be abolish
ed completely and different portions
of it added to Lowndes and Clinch
counties.
This is rather an unusual move at
this time, when the legislature is con-
fronted with so many plans to create
new counties, and that the people of
any county should desire to do away
with their government is regarded as
out of the ordinary.
Former State Senator Tarver, from
Echols county, stated yesterday that
petitions were being carried all over
Echols county, and would be present
ed to the legislature, asking that all
of the county on the Lowndes side of
the Alapaha river be ceded to
Lowndes county, and the remainder
on the opposite side of the river be
placed in Clinch county. 1t is stated
the petitions are being signed very
generally. The argument is being used
that by dividing the county between
two old, prosperous and we'll estab-
lished counties the burden of govern
ment will be less costly and taxes cor
Irespondingly decreased.
The idea advanced that, being iso-
lated as it is, the county has made very
! little progress in development, and di-
vided into the other counties there
lwould~be more development and prop
| erty values will be increased

LEGISLATURE NOT IN HURRY TO ACT
ON TAX PLAN OF GOV. FARDWICK

the committees report
One of the biggest legislative
storms the state has seen is due to
break out during consideration OF the
bill in the house.
Many New Special Taxes.
The general tax act, which has been
practically rewritten in its entirety, in
conformity with the recommendation
OF the governor, carries many new
special and occupation taxes not here
tofore included in the law, among them
cigarets, cigars, soft drinks, gasoline
and redistribution of the profession
al taxes.
Although there have been numerous
resolutions adopted by associations
over the state in opposition to the
schedule which is to be proposed, it
has been a matter of impossibility to
grant hearings and the bill will go to
the house of representatives for action
without the people of the state having
had an opportunity to discuss it with
the committee, and with no way in
which the subjects of the proposed
tax can reach it except through their
representatives.

The Picture of Tree
Made by Lightning
Stays in Boys Flesh
Eastman Youth Still Lives, and Is
Object of Wonder After His
Narrowing Experience.

EASTMAN, Ga.-Travis Grimsley,
who was struck by lightning several
days ago, is now getting along as well
as could be expected after his harrow
ing experience Grimsley was sitting
on the porch of his home during bad
electric storm, and the bolt which
struck a large cedar tree few feet
from the house passed through his
body leaving him unconscious. After a
few minutes he was brought back to
consciousness, and although he was
confined to his bed for two days he
is now in a good condition.
The strange part OF the accident
was the picture which was left on his
back. The cedar tree which was hit
by the holt before it passed on to the
boy is reproduced in fine red lines on
his back. The flash seemed to turn
his back into a Photographic plate, on
which to preserve living picture OF
the tree as it was before being de-
molished by the elements. The picture
is perfect in every detail, each limb
standing out from the trunk, just as it
had stood for the many years before
being struck, and torn to splinters.
Will the picture remain on Grims-
ley's back as a reminder of his ac-
cident, or will it gradually fade? That
is the question which time alone will
answer.

ORGANIZER WILL
VISIT EVERY COUNTY
GEORGIA COTTON GROWERS
ASSOCIATION PROMOTING
FAMOUS CALIFORNIA PLAN.

ATLANTA, Ga.-There will be a
field organizer working exclusively on
behalf of the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers' Cooperative Association, which
is promoting the famous California
plan for cotton in this state, in every
cotton county or group of counties OF
Georgia within the next thirty days,
it was announced by Director OF Or
ganization A. A. Elmore on Wednes-
day morning.
The move is part of plan for the
immediate expansion of the associa-
tons campaign, which was decided
upon at big meeting of the state or
ganization committee and number of
county chairmen of existing county
campaign organizations held in Allan
ia on Tuesday.
One of the most important develop
ments of the meeting was the an
nouncement by Chairman Barrett that
the finance committee has secured
funds, the lack of which has greatly
handicapped the work up to date, to
make the proper development of the
campaign possible from now on.
There are now some thirty volun-
teer county committees in existence,
which will be doubled in the hitherto
unapproached portions OF the state
within the next few weeks, and these
will have the assistance of a headquar-
tiers organizer, permanently located
with them, in a great sign-up drive
to be staged among the cotton grow
ers during the lay-by time between
the last Of July and the first of Sep
TENDER. These field organizers will be
by preference local men of reputa-
ton and standing. Director of Organ
ization A. A. Elmore is now on the
lookout for such men, and those who
are interested in taking up this work
are requested to get in communica-
ton with him at the headquarters Of
fee of the association, 408 Walton
building.
In spite of handicaps, reports turn
ed in at the meeting showed great
progress has been made in the sign-up
work already. Hart county alone has
signed over three thousand bales to
date, several other counties being close
behind Hart in the returns.

To Kill $4,000 Army
Horses in Mesopotamia
British Finds It Too Expensive to
Bring Animals Back Home.

LONDON, Eng. = Horse lovers
throughout the country have been
shocked by Colonial Secretary Win
ston Churchill's announcement in the
house of commons that $4,000 army
horses in Mesopotamia are to be kill
ed because it is too expensive to bring
them home
1t was explained that they are main
ly heavy draft horses, for which there
is no local use, and that they had to
be fed on imported fodder. The near
est possible markets are India or
Egypt, but the difficulties and cost of
transportion thence are said to be pro-
hibitive. <
Shipping men say it costs $40 to
ESQ to bring a horse from the east to.
England, not counting horsemen's
wages.
The war office view is that it is bet
ter for the horses to be killed humane
ly and scientifically than to be left in
the hands of natives who would not
care for them properly, and no one
would suggest turning them adrift in
the desert

legislative Storm to Break in House.
Rather Cold Reception Given the
Measure by Members.

ATLANTA, Ga.-An income tax
bill without limit on the rate Of tax
alton to be levied by the legislature
does not seem likely to pass the house
or the senate, in spite of Governor
Hardwicks strong influence actively
supported by the leaders on both sides
OF the capitol.
This has been indicated by the rath
er cold reception given by members
OF the house to the action OF the ap-
preparations committee of the house
in approving the bill without hear
ing. The bill had been up for tentative
discussion in the committee once or
twice and on the day when it was
set for a hearing nobody appeared
against it. Representative Carswell, OF
Wilkinson, one OF the administration
floor leaders in the house, then insisted
that the committee report the bill ia
vorably. This was done with the pro
viso that none of the members OF the
committee should be bound to support

HUDSON DOLLS UP
IN HIS JAIL CELL
SLAYER OF HIS TWO
STEP PARTICU-
LAR ABOUT APPEARANCE.

MACON, Ga.-Since time began
the keeping up OF appearance has been
of supreme importance with both men
and women, according to historians,
in fact the first record of person be-
ing dissatisfied with their appearance
was when Eve realized in the Garden
of Eden that she was not properly
clothed.
But the love for appearing we'll
cannot be laid only on women, for
men are at tiraes also obsesSed with
the idea of presenting good appear
ance, which at times would have been
humorous had it not been for the
seriousness of the occ aston
for in more than one instance men on
going to the scaffold to pay a penalty
for some crime would say something
about their dress and according to
newspaper accounts one man going so
fas as to ask if his tie was tied straight
just before leaving his cell.
The keeping up of appearances was
one of the first steps taken by Glen
Moore Hudson, when he was brought
to the Bib county jail on the charge
of having killed his two step children
and who was removed from Albany
after his wife made an alleged comics
sion charging him with the crime.
Hudson was having his hair cut
Saturday morning when he was visited
in his 8 cell by reporter. He was sit
ting on a stool and one of the pris-
oners was busily engaged in using the
clippers on that part of the hair back
of the neck.
The prisoner practically refused to
talk and the barber never missed a
stroke. When asked if he had anything
to say further than his statement de-
nying the crime Hudson shook his
head and replied mo"
AS the reporter turned to leave one
of the other prisoners said: "He is
going to get shave, too"

ANDREW CARNEGIE FAILED
TO DIE IN POVERTY
Famous Iron Master Left $22,151,011
After Giving Away $35o,6o5,653.

A report just issued by the state
controllers office at Albany, N. Y,
shows that the estate of Andrew Car
negie has a gross appraisal value of
$25,933,014 and a net value of $22151,-
oil. This report shows how the famous
iron master failed in his oft-expressed
wish to die poor. The fortune left,
however, was only remnant of what
the Scotch emigrant boy laid up dur
ing his lifetime in America.
Constant gifts to colleges, for IL
braries, to pension funds, and to hero
funds and other benefactions raised
the total which Mr.. Carnegie gave
away during his lifetime to more than
$350,000,000. Mr. Carnegie died on
Aug. II, 1919, near Lennox, Mass. A
list of his gifts to the world made pub :
lie at the time showed that gifts and
grants made by him and the Carnegie
Foundation of New York, up to June
l, 1918, aggregated $3.50, 6o5,653, most
ly in the United States.

LEAGUE WRITES TO
U. s.; GETS NC REPLY
ING'S ATTITUDE AP-
PEARS TO BE THERE AMT
NO SUCH ANIMAL"

PARIS.-In the office of the secre-
tary of the league of nations at Geneva
there is a filing case devoted to unex-
pedited business. One section of this
case contains a collection of communi-
cations from the league of nations to
the new American government. None
of them has been answered.
For since President Harding assum-
ed office the attitude OF the state de-
partment towards the league appears
to be there amt no such animal"
Washington simply won't answer.
President Wilson used to answer
league notes and even sent a communi-
cation to the council OF the league two
days before he left office. But Presi-
dent Harding is unwilling to waste
postage on the league.
Many Appeals Sent.
In that green filing case there are
appeals for hungry folks. There are
reports of projects for the suppression
of white slavery, plans for the sup
preston of the opium traffic and no.
tihcations of proposals to change the
covenant. There is even an invitation
to America to send minister to dis
cuss the mandate mistakes that Wash
ington thinks the league made.
There is a growing feeling among
league officials that the republican ad-
ministration at Washington is not will
ing to let the league be buried in or
derby fashion but is hurrying along
the corpse in unseeming fashion, and
this tends to peeve the corpse. This
feeling is attested in the telling of two
stories one hears about the corridors
of the Petit Luxembourg where the
disarmament conference OF the league
is being held.
Receipt Scheme Fails.
Noticing that the state department
would not reply to the league COM
munications some league official sent
communications to Washington by
registered mail, which, OF course, would
give the league records the receipt of
the state department.
A short time after this system went
into effect the youthful American con-
sui at Geneva called solernly upon
the secretary of the league and inform
ed him that unofficially and orally he
was instructed to say that the State
department had received its registered
mail from Geneva all right, but mas
much as the American government did
not recognize the existence of the
league it would not reply.

Miracle Birds of the
Mormons Again Save
The Crops of Ranches
Myriads of Sea Gulls From Salt Lake
Destroy Locust Plague That In
tested the Farms.

SALT LAKE. CITY, Utah.-The
sea gulls, miracle birds" of the Nor
mons, have come again to the rescue
of the Utah farmers.
Their first appearance probably saw
ed the Mormon pioneers from death
by hunger.
1t was in 1848, when Salt Lake City
was but a desert camp, comprising
a log-and-mud fort, with its encircling
tents and prairie schooners. The re-
ligious emigrants had planted all their
surplus grain in the fresh turned soil.
1t was their sole food reliance for the
next season. That failing to mature,
they might perish.
A pest of locusts threatened the pre-
cious crop. Prayers arose day and
night.
Then happened what the settlers
were pleased to term miracle, for
the gulls from Salt Lake swept in by
myriads to devour the locusts without
touching the grain.
Today vast focks of these same
birds, to which a monument has been
erected, are successfully combating a
Jordan, Utah, in such hordes as seri-
ously to threaten crops.
One farmer said that the land sud-
denly was covered with mice barrows.
When he turned the irrigation water
into the field he thought that the
ground had turned gray and come to
life. A living swarm of mice of all ages
and sizes fed across the fields.
The sea gulls were attracted by
the sight and at once commenced war
upon the mice. Every morning the
gulls come in from the lake and search
out the fields that are being irrigated,
to devour the mice. They are extermi-
mating the pests rapidly.

BEER BILL is TARGET
OF GEORGIA SENATOR
WATSON ENGAGES IN BREEZY
DEBATE. SAYS HE IS ORIGI-
NAL PROHIBITIONIST.

WASHINGTON, d. Declaring
Senator Nelson, republican, Minnesota,
had inferred everyone opposed to the
measure was lined up with the brew
cries, Senator Watson, democrat, dur
ing a short debate in the senate today
on the Campbell BILL shouted:
Il want it understood I'm not a

If you bring back the beer and
light Wines" Senator Nelson had de-
clared you'll bring back the saloon
and the fight for prohibition will have
been fought in vain"
The Georgia senator said he had
joined the fight against the saloon
when at the age of IA he was baptized
in Sweetwater creek" and joined the
church. He hayed the bill as an in
fringement on personal liberties.
Senator Watson launched an attack
against soft drinks, declaring them
'pernicious bellywash" that had almost
ruined" Georgia. Charging they had
all injurious effect on the human sys-
tenn he made the cryptic remark that

but when it comes to. debating to an
honorable profession how far it can

Here is what Senator Watson said
as copied from the Congressional Rec
ord proofs. These are excerpts:
Upon being asked when he became
a prohibitionist, he said:

ers of Sweetwater creek when | was
