| MAKE TEST CASE
ON DISARMAMENT
Stubs and Smith Arrested for
Carrying Shot Guns
COMMITMENT DELAYED
Judge Powers Disqualihes and Judge
Cover Asked to Name Mag
istrate for Case

A test case was started last night
to decide positively whether pickets
maintained by the A., B. & A. strik-
eTs will be permitted to carry arms.
Sheriff E. H. Dorminy placed J. M.
Smith and Fred Stubbbs under ar
rest tor carrying shot guns at the
engineers picket post after they had
refused to leave their arms at home
while on picket duty.
Commitment hearing was set for
III o'clock this morning before Judge
Fred M. Powers but Judge Powers
disqualified himself on the ground
that ne had previously given voice to
an opinion that armed picketing was
unlawful. 1t is understood that Judge
u. T. Adams is also disqualified.
Judge O. I. Cover, presiding jurist
OF the Cordele circuit, has been asked
to provide a magistrate to hear the
case at the earliest possible date
Sheriff Dorminey visited the en-
Slneers picket post near Smalps Mill
last night with a posse of six depu-
ties He asked that the pickets who
were carrying shot guns exposed give
up their weapons He did not search
the pickets for concealed weapons
Other deputies are understood TO
have made the rounds of other nickel
posts and it is said that further c.s
eS Will be made if the two test cas-
eS warrant further action toward dis
armlng the strikers.
When the cases do come to trial
the man interest will center around
legal battle between Attorney Ed
Griffin for the prosecution and A.
torney A. ]. Mcdonald for the de-
tense. There will be no dispute az
TO the evidence as the defendants
will admit having shot guns in their
possession. The question will be
whether sr.h action constitutes an
oftense against the law.
A possibility was considered TODAY

ara OF Atlanta, who is legal counsel
for strike headquarters, to assist At
torney Mcdonald in defending the
cases.

citizens who listened with intense in
terest to the preliminary arguments
that were fnslly ended when Judge
Powers stated that ne considered
himself disqualified to hear the case
and postponed the hearing pending
word from Judge o. 7. Cover.
1t is understood that Sheriff Dor

ment as result of the failure TO
reach a compromise between strikers
and employees of the railroad bv
which both sides would agree to
disarm.

Ben Hill Solons Ask
For City Court Here
Bill introduced in Legislature; Re-
quires Popular Vote

A bill to create City Court for
Ben Hill county was introduced
simultaneously in the House and
Senate by Representative T. J. Luke
and Senator Wiley Williams. The
bill issued to contain a referendum
clause, which will require its submis-
sion to the voters of Ben Hill coun-
ty before it becomes operative. A
salary OF $1,000 per year is to be paid
the Judge OF this court and $1,000 per
year to its solicitor. The purpose of
the new court is said to be to re-
lieve the Superior Court from much
of the minor cases and so expedite
the courts work and reduce the cost
to the county.
We have not seen a copy of the
bill but will endeavor to secure one.
so as to inform the voters of its
full contents.

HIGHWAY HARMONY
REACHED In HOUSE
Measure Presented and Adopted
Please Both Sides
DRAWN BY A COMMITTEE
All Available Funds Apportioned on
Mileage Basis to Counties
of the State

ATLANTA, July 22-The result
Of the House of Representatives
adopting the suggestion made three
days ago by Representative George
Carswell was settled in one hour Of
today's session of the fight which
would have been one of endurance
and test of strength among the
large and small counties, and un-
doubtedly would have concluded with
the same political bitterness that
marked the same fight in 1919. The
highway department legislation has
been passed, and the measure which
was put through the House had as its
advocates the strongest men. of the
two factions.
Three days ago when things were
all set and organized to overthrow the
plans of the rules committee and to
table bills in order to drive through
what was known as the Davis bill
seeking to divide the automobile tax
money among the counties on a basis
OF post road mileage, and when it was
a certainty that the same big fight
headed two years ago by John P
Knight of Darien was going 10 break
on the House again, Representative
CarsWeli, in powerful speech, be-
spoke eXertion of efforts to harmonic
things, and suggested the appointment
OF a special committee of three from
each faction to whom would be dele
gated the duty of taking all the mass
OF highway proposals, analyze the Sit
uat1on, formulate everybody's idea and
produce bill which everybody could
support
1t was a case of the big" county
and the 'little" county fight all over
again. But the committee did what
representative Carswel1 said thew
could, and today the House passed
a measure revising the law controll-
ing the operation of the highway de-
partment which is intended to equal

Farm Bureau To

Big Sweet Potato Crop Anticipated

The first attempt to market Geor-

Farm Bureau Federation, through its
marketing exchange, has devised a
plan for handling sweet potatoes for
growers throughout the State, and it

beneficial to all growers.
The exchange is now forming a
sweet potato organization, and when
the bulk of the crop begins to come
in next month, it is said, this orgap-
cation will be ready to function.
P. H. Sanders, in charge of the
Farm Bureau exchange, says that

said the first few cars would be sold
in Atlanta, and that the exchange
would handle these direct.
Mr. SandeD said indications are the
Georgia sweet potato crop this year
would be extremely good, and the
growers would receive an excellent
return for their crop. He said CO.
operative marketing would guarantee
the farmers better price, and at the
same time place the potatoes on the
market in better condition.

amendment was reached there was
such a shout of noes that roll call
was not demanded. A moment later
Chairman Fordney, trying to make
himself heard above the din which
prevailed during three hours of vot-
ing, announced that sentiment in the
committee of the whole against TAX
ing asphalt off had been so overwhel-
ming that it wasn't worth while to
go through the form of calling the
roll.

SOME ADVANTAGES OF
BIRTH REGISTRATION

Every child should have its birth
properly recorded. This practice fur
nishes valuable information to health
officials in determining the birth and
death rate of infants, and to lesser
degree the health OF the parents 1t
enables the officials to determine the
diseases which must be fought hardest
in order to save the lives of children.
1t is also advantageous to the child.
If it is necessary at any time for a
work permit, for a passport, TO legally
determine age or citizenship, the tran
script of birth certificate or record is
incontrovertible evidence. A witness
may not be available OF satisfactory.
He may have only a hazy memory,
and though willing to serve, he may
fail the child when its need is great
est. Have YOUR baby's birth re-
corded.
