PLAINFIELD, N. j., Aug. g.
You can leave all the complexities of
modern existence behind
All you have to do rs to promise
to love-and obey two tenets Of the
Naturist Colony. humanltarianism
and vegetarianism.
Moses Littauer, who fled New York
four years ago and built himself a
dug-out on Freedom Hill, above
Plainfield, has been followed by ether
naturists from New York and other
places until today colony of 60

You'll find the naturistic existence
not only simple, but cheap. A dollar

EDISON REBELS
AT CIVILIZATION
Inventor SAYS We're All
Barbarians Under The
Skin
BY EDWARD M. THIERRY.

IN CAMP, VIA OAKLAND, Md,
August 5,-The woods will get you
if you don't watch out.
Stay out chose to nature long
enough and you won't want to come
back to the eivilizing influences of
trolley cars, telephones, porcelain
bathtubs and nickeled plumbing.
That's Thomas A. Edison's theory.
Every man way down in his heart
revolts at civilization" said Edison,
in camp with Henry Ford and H. s.
Firestone. Every man will revert
to barbarism if given half chance.
Turn a mon loose in the woods
and he WON'T want to come back
after while. Man is like a domesti-
Gated animal. saw a dog revert to
the wild life of his ancestors in exact
ly three days!
Owe don't live long enough to find
cut what life is all about" he said.
"But we know what civilization is.
It is mere veneer that. keeps on
getting thicker-but never too thick
to pierce.
cit will be 10000 years, think,
before man will have reached such a
high point of civilization where he
cannot, and will not want to, go back
to the barbaric life.
81 have a friend down near Fort
MYERS, my Florida home, who took
Seminole boy out Of the Everglades
and gave him the best education pos
sible Yet he slipped back into the
old life. Natives in such places as
Africa do the same thing very often
in snite of missions.
81 like to get out in the woods and
live close to nature. Every man
does. 1t is in his blood. 1t is his
feeble protest against civilization"
Edison's chief outdoor amusement
is fishing.

EASY TO LIVE ON A DOLLAR A WEEK,
HEAD OF COLONY SHOWS.

Littauer was preparing his noon
day meal
The dollar a week menu consists,
he explained Of a pound of raw
oats a day Give cents) or pound of
corn meal day (three and a half
cents.)
Littauer and his followers have a
garden which they cultivate them
selves.
So if you don't care for raw oats
as a steady diet, all you have to do
is to go into the garden and pull a
nice raw parsnip or onion and chew
it.
Litteau points not only to himself
but to his followers as a proof as the
health-giying properties of the hui
manitarian naturist life.
Not even milk passes Littauer's
lirs.
"Dairy food comes from animal
life-I couldn't touch it," he said.
Bare feet and no corsets character

"Why. Just to lead and to help others

TPASSEDBY
SENATEAT M.
AFTER BATTLE
Drink ak Agreement
PLAYS Part. Although
Killed By House

ATLANTA, August 8. - Acting
upon the solicitation of Governor
Hardwick and after sealing a verbal
compact that a tax Of one per cent
per drink II done per cent per bottle
nall soft drinks will be adopted by
the senate today, that body last night
just before / o'clock passed the one
cent a gallon gasoline bill by a vote
of 20 to after long fight in which
hal ia dozen senators, who voted for
the bill, had spoken most vigorously
against it.
In order to prevent the return of
the bill to the house not a single
amendment was allowed to get in, but
the measure was passed exactly as it
came from the house, including what
ever Objectionable features it car
ries in order to keep it out of con-
ference and to it from the certainty
that If it ever got back into posses
sion of the house again it will be
tabled.
At the same time the senate, vot-
ing with the oft repeated declara-
ton during the voting tha favorable
votes were being polled solely on the
agreement that a soft drink tax
would be adopted, necessarily had to
know that the identical proposition
in the general tax bill already hea
been proposed and overwhelmingly
| defeated in the house and there wgg
no chance to get it on. In fact the
two principal opponents in the SEM
ate OF the soft drink tax voted for
the gasoline tax and both are known
to be unalteraby opposed to a soft
! drink tax
Members of the house, however,
are saying that on this proposition
the house may one time fool the SEN
ate and go ahead and accept the
soft drink tax, by reconsideration.
The senate committee late Friday
afternoon completed and recon-
mended for passage, as amended,
the general tax bill carrying between
three-quarters and one million more
frevenue than contained in the meas
ure as it passed the house. :
The tax on carbonic acid gas, in
tended to reach the bottlers of soft
drinks, was cut from the house figure
Of four cents per pound pressure to
three cents. A cigar tax Of one cent
on all cigars selling for ten cents
or more was added and an entirely
new compromise section written for
the grand opera tax.
Unable to get into agreement with
in itself, there was subcommittee
of five named with instructions to
work out tax for that business. 1t
wrote into the bill in place of a grand
opera tax one providing for a tax
of five per cent on seat admission
sales on al amusement enterprises
of whatever kind to include concerts,
operas, theaters and picture houses.

RICHLAND PEPPER

RICHLAND, August g. Richland

ragged the populace that, had the posse
Of SO men chasing him Thursday night
with the aid of track dogs been sue
cessful in catching him it is doubt
full that a lynching could have been
averted.
, 1t was about $50 o'clock Thurs
day night MRS. j. N. Clements, wife
Of a prominent Richland business
man, was disrobing in her bed room
when she spied white mans face
peering throUg the pane from just
outside the window. She screamed,
calling to him to know what he was
doing. The man ran and her hus-
band, who was m the bathroom, ar
rived at the window in time to see
him vault O. fence, fleeing. The alarm
was quickly given and neighbors con-
gregated Sheriff Christian, of
Webster county, happened to be in
''towfI WIZ MS track dogs pursuing
an escaped negro prisoner, and they
were put on the trail, with a posse
of about SO men following. They
followed the trail to a negro church
yard where meeting had recently
broken up, this confusing the dogs,
but after time they picked up the
scent again and followed it to a gypsy
camp where it became lost.
1t is said there is no clue to the
identity of the prowler, whose con-
duct has deeply stirred the communi-
ty.

Leesburg Man Dies
AS Auto Turns Over

AUGUSTA, August 6.-Fred c..
Shackleford, a travelling salesman Of
Leesburg, was instantly killed Fri
day afternoon, when his autombile
skidded following rain and turned
turtle between Campania and Har-
lem, % miles west of here.
His body was pinned under the ma
chine and was found shortly after
the accident by negroes living nearby.
1t was the belief of the officials, at
Harlem, who took charge of the body,
that Shickleford died instantly from
internal injuries, his body being
crushed by the weight of the falling
machine.
Negroes living alongside the Mil
ledge road, on which the accident
occurred, stated that. they saw the
ear when it passed Campania and that
it was going at fast rate of speed.
