news here that no action has been
taken by either the subcommittee or
the full committee of the United
States Senate On the nomination of
Henry Lincoln Johnson, a negro Re-
publican from Georgia, named for

Farmer Diversity Crops
For Municipal Markets

ATLANTA, October 7th-The es4
tablishment of markets for food crops
throughout Georgia and other south
ern states which the Atlanta Womens
Club is advocating with unusual ac-
tivity, will ge great incentive to the
farmers to diversity their crops and
will be a step forward in southern
agricultural activities, according to
Mrs. Norman Sharp, prominent Club
woman, who heads the market COM
mittee of the Atlanta Club.
The municipal market furnishes
the farmer ready money for his crop.
said Mrs. Sharp today to a represent
tative of this news service. Farmers
from fifteen counties are now supply
ing Atlanta's municipal curb market"
1t is great convenience to the house.
wives of the city and at the same time
it is putting ready money in the
pockets of the farmers. Through in
formation given out by the experts in
the State Bureau of Markets, as re-
ported to our club from various sec
tons of the State, these farmers are
branching out and raising crops here
tofore not attempted in Georgia. The
market movement is a big thing and
club women are pushing it."

Walker Had No Part
In Spell Hayes Fracas

Frank Hayes, the young man who
was cut in the scrap with Sam Spell
is reported as getting along we'll and
entirely out of danger fro mthe wounds
received. 1t appears from the re-
port made by Lewis Walker to his
parents soon after the affair. that the
only part Lewis played in the fracas
was that of mutual friend to the
fighters and that he was present as
a peace maker and assisted young
Hayes to the doctor.
From SPELLS statement to his broth
er R. J. Spell, it appears that Hayes
and Spell had arguments over a pri-
vate affair from the time they started
from the shops and when the train
reached Gordon Street at which point
it was most convenient for Spell to
reach home, he left the train and was
followed by Hayes and Walker, whose
homes'are east of the depot, the stop
ping point of the shop train. Walking
along Gordon street. south. the contro-
versy continued between Hayes and
Spell and came to the final end, when
strong epitaphs were applied to each
other. Mr.. Walker took no part in
the difficulty but was present during
the entire affair.

CLEANUP SQUAD Elk SER Tee MEN HERE SATURDAY
College Girls Are
Taught How To
Manage Business

ATLANTA, Oct. with the be-
of the school year, which is
now well under way, it is evident that
the educators of the South have caught
the idea that education hereafter shall
not be exclusively theoretical, accord
ing to leading Atlanta Educators.
Text books may be made to give
practical benefits as well as general
ones, the educators point out.
Among the practical moves made
by leading educational institutions
maySSse cited one found in one of the
older and more conservative schools.
Brenau College at Gainesville. in this
State, which draws it's students. not
only from the south. gut every sec
ton of the country, and even from
foreign countries, has enlarged its
university program beyond all pre-
vious gounds and is offering new
courses in practically all business
lines. Besides teaching all the arts
and sciences, courses are provided in
business management and housekeep-
ing.
Brenau is lending helping hand in
respect to our reconstruction needs
just as it gave hearty support in a
multitude of ways to the prosecution
of the war. But such tendencies do
not reduce the value or the need OF
cultural education among our girls.

Home Town Paper
Week Nov. 7 to IL

Every Four Corners has its Home
Town week nowadays, but all the
boys and girls who have wandered
from the Township Center cannot get
back to enjoy the loved surroundings,
But all can subscribe to the old home
town paper and thus keep we'll posted
with the little spot they once called
home.
What JOY to run over the school
promotions and find that the tots of
few years ago are moving higher
and higher in scholastic circles and
eventually blossom forth as the sweet
git graduate or the clean strong
boys discarding knickers.
Just watch that hardened old city
codger open up his home paper-it is
the first thing he picks up out of his
bunch OF mail-and what can he find
there to interest him? Angus Nc
Gugan's horse died yesterday; Peter
McGregor will run for the county
clerkship; Horace Jell hopes to win
agricultural society; Lydia Munger
has opened millinery store in one
side of the printing office; Mrs. Brown
lost her hand satchel in a butchery;
Or, Dorland is attending Clara Brown
who is down with a severe cold Mrs.
Platter broke her ankle and is in the
county hospital.
Yet though he smiles at the old-time
styles and expressions he enjoys it
all over and over again, for it takes
his mind back home where his wonder
full boyhood days-happy days-were
spent.

Weather And Crop
Conditions In Georgia

ATLANTA, Oct. a, The past week
was not so warm and terminated with
fairly geeral rains, which are heaviest
over the upper two-thirds of the state:
decidedly colder weather followed Mon
day evening and Tuesday. The drough
may be considered as broken. except
that insufficient raj fell in southern
and southeastern sections. Fall white
potatoes, sweet potatoes and sugar
cane were benefited by the rainfall
and will make further growth, and the
soil was placed in good condition for
blowing. Some rye, wheat and oats
have already been sown and the work
will proceed rapidly during the coming
week. Gathering corn and peanuts
are nearing completion and the pecan
harvest has begun.
Making sorghum is under way in the
north with good results. Cotton is
all open and three-fourths picked, with
unpicked cotton mostly in the north
ern division. The crop will probably
all be gathered in two or three weeks
more. The fact that the cotton crop
this season is the worst in 40 years
or more is now a matter of history.
This is the last crop report for the
season

IMPORTANT NOTICE

There is considerable complaint on
the part of some of our citizens regard
ing the hunting of quite few without
having first obained license, also of
killing quail. AS every one knows
the season for shooting quail does not
open until November goth. This being
the case makes it unfair to those citi-
zens who are keeping within the law.
These infringements are being in
vestigated and those violating the law,
if apprehended will be prosecuted.
License can be obtained at my office
at the corner of Main and Central.

Over the entire country on the night
of October 18th. 5000 Georgia Boys

put old Georgia where it belongs
in the rank of the great Universities
of our land.
For years the University of Geor-
gia has geen existing on a mere pitt
ance given by the legislature of this
state. In the last ten years the en-
rollment has increased from 500 to3
1900 and the state appropriations have
remained the same. No new buildings
have been built in these ten years. The
present plant will not accommodate the
students; men are turned away each
year.
The alumni have taken upon their
shoulders the task of remedying these
conditions.
