(By Associates Press

ALBANY, Ga, Jan. 16.-Extra pre-
cautions We're being taken by Sheriff
Tarver of Dougherty cotinty TO guard
Ed Smith, a negro, who shot two
Worth county farmers yesterday. In
the same Jail with Smith is one of
the negroes charged with killing j. D.
Adams in Mitchell county two weeks
ago, which resulted in the lynching
of another negro.
Officials here state that some of the
trouble can be traced to labor agents,
two of whom have been logged in
fConquitt county. Farmers have ad-
vanced money to negroes and the lat
ter have attempted to leave, it is al
legged. This is said to have been the
cause of the shooting of w. B. Bryant
and Walt Garrett in Worth county
yesterday
Ed Smith was a tenant on CARROTS
plantation.
Sheriff Sumner of Worth county ex-
planned today that Ben Smith, father
of the negro tenant. with shotgun
attempted 20 delay the mob that was
pursuing his son, but he was dis
armed and is in Jail at Sylvester
Bryant and Garrett were operated
upon in the local hospital today, and
their condition is critical Sheriff
Sumner stated that he eluded the mob
and landed Ed Smith in jail here last
night after he promised to use his
influence to obtain a special session
of Worth superior court to try the
negro.

EUROPEAN CHILDREN
CRYING FOR FOOD
Relief Committees Need Two Million
Pounds Of Foodstuffs Each Week.

To feed the great numbers of Polish
children who are facing starvation
this winter, an average of about
100000 pounds Of American food
stuffs will be needed each week, ac-
cording to latest estimates of workers
under Herbert Hoover, chairman of
the European relief council. This is
the amount required every six days
for the American feeding stations are
not open on Sundays. The daily ra-
ton for each child is a scant half
pound.
More than 100000 undernourished
boys and girls were fed during the
month OF December. With the com
ing of the cold weather, the number
must be gradually increased, it is an
ticipated, until the maximum Of
100000 will be reached during jan
uary and February.
A total of approximately 46,500
metric tons of food will be required
in Poland for the next eight months
or until a substantial diminution in
the childfeeding program can be ex-
pected. The principal foodstuffs are
cocoa, sugar. rice. beans, lard and
condensed milk
An American personnel of only 16
men has general supervision of the
Polish feeding operations. The detail
of the work is done by 27.779 ma
tive Polish men and women, 20239 of
whom are paid and the rest volunteer.
The entire ld-feeding program is
carried on at a cost to the European
relief council of only 81 month per
child, this sum representing the mon
ey actually spent for food alone. The
YQn1Qindnr nf fhn urnrlrfy1pr
representing about 50 per child, is
borne by the native committees In the
form of rent. transportation, payment
of workers and clerical force.
The program of the European re-
lief council calls for the feeding one
meal each day of 100000 of the most
seriously undernourished children
under the age Of 10. This will require
an expenditure of S23,000,00O before
the harvesting of the next crops. In
addition, $10,000,000 will be needed for
medical care for several million little
sufferers from the diseases incident to
malnutrition.
TO raise this sum by a national coll
lection from the American people, the
European relief council has been
formed by the union of eight chart
table organizations. They are the
American relief administration, the
American Red Cross, the American
Friends service committee (Quakers),
the Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America. the Jewish joint
distribution committee, the knights
of Columbus, the Y. NJ. C. A. and the
Y. w. c. A. Contributions should be
addressed to II. e. Harkisheimer,
state treasurer, sixth floor, Southern
Bell Telephone building. Jacksonville,
Fla.

tend their operations in South Amer
lea, the more they may be able to di-
vert supplies from reaching the Unit
ed Kingdom; and the more they are
able to control distributive business
here, the more securely they will have
the British consumer in their grip"
Suggestions were made by the COM
mittee to restrain, by taxation and by
substituting refrigerated shipping COM
panies, the expansion of foreign inter
ests here, and an international invest
igation was recommended to go into
the whole situation with a view to
taking common action.
A rejoinder to the committees find
ings is made by r. H. Cabell, the Lon
don manager of Armour and Com
pany, who in an interview with a
press association representative, COM
plains that none of the American
firms were heard by the committee
and charges that the latter's report
was compiled under strong preju-
dice"
Several passages in the report
show a clear but very ill-informed
animus against the American firms,
Cabell states. Particularly in it's ref
erence to Argentina. No one would
guess from the report that the Chi
cago packers entered the Argentine
trade at the request, almost at the
entreaties, of the British firms which
had opened up the territory and had
paid heavily for their experience and
were anxious to be bought OUT
Mr.. Cabell suggests that part of the
supposed animus disclosed in the re-
port is due to the reluctance of GER
tain British firms to compete with
the less wasteful and more efficient
methods of their American rivals,
and he says the only effect of the
report must be to raise meat prices
all over the United Kingdom.

LABOR TO ESTABLISH.
AID TO IMMIGRANTS
Agencies for Dissemination of Infor-
nation Will Be Established.
(Ry Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 16.--Immigra-
ton agencies in all Latin American
countries for the collection and dis
semination of information regarding
labor conditions will be established
under the terms of a resolution adopt
ed by the Pan American Federation
of Labor congress here yesterday.
Delegates from the United States and
Porto Rico opposed the idea, but were
voted down in the first divided vote
of the congress.
The resolution introduced by the
Mexican delegation called for the APP
pointment of special labor ENJOYS in
each Pan-American country, but the
resolutions committee reporting it had
amended the motion so that the fed
eration's executive officers would be
named as information gatherers, il
being planned by this means to elimi-
nate the expense entailed by the car
rying out of the original proposal.
When the amended motion was sub
mitted an animated debate began,
during which Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the congress. was compelled
frequently to explain United States
labor conditions.
Mr.. Gompers asserted that upwards
of 1900, 900 immigrants were received
in the United States each year and
that 100000 persons in European
countries were ready to come to
America and were waiting for ships
to bring them. He added a note of
warming, saying that at present there
were more than 100000 unemployed
people in the United States. He re-
minded the congress that the interna-
tional labor office at Geneva had I'M
dertaken the investigation of imni-
grafton in>every phase and would soon
publish important findings on the
subject.
After the congress had remained in
session until long after the appointed
hour for closing, Mr.. Gompers called
for vote and the original Mexican
resolution was adopted.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take Salts.

Rheumatism Is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine. the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. Ia damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts: put a tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice combined with Ithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
