DISCOVERS HOGS
EATING HIS FATHER
ELDERLY MAN NAMED PAUL
DIES OF ALCOHOLISM IN
GAMBLER COUNTY.

METER, Ga.-A CHASTITY sight
met the eyes of Mr.. Paul at an early
hour Sunday morning as he looked
from window and discovered the
body of his father lying in the lane
with several hogs gnawing the corpse.
The Pauls reside between Aline and
Cobbtown, about three miles from the
former town. Saturday afternoon, &C
cording to statements of the son and
others, Mr. Paul and his son went to
Cobbtown, staying there until after
dark and arriving home at about
O'Clock that night.
Mr.. Paul is said to have been drink
ing during the time he was in Cobb
town and was in practically helpless
condition when the car in which he,
his son and one or two others arrived
at the Paul home.
Efforts were made to get Mr.. Paul
into the house, but owing to the dill
fcu1ty in doing this he was finally
left in the lane near the front gate,
his son later placing an overcoat over
him. 1t is understood that it was not
infrequently the case that the old gen
tleman would come home in this con-
dition and remain under the wagon
shed or other outhouses on the place
until next morning.
Young Mr.. Paul stated that he
awoke between daylight and sunrise
and Immediately thought of his father.
He glanced out of a window and was
Mortified to observe hogs gathered
around the body, from which already
they had torn both sides of the face
and inflicted wounds on the arms and
hands.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that the deceased came to his
death from the effects of alcoholism.
Mr.. Paul was OF years of age, and

NEW BEAN DISCOVERED IN PHILIPPINES
THAT SURPRISES THE VELVET AND SOYE

seed Just three of the beans were lett,
and these he put in safe ground; they
grew and fourished and from them he
obtained a fresh lot of seed these lat
ter being acclimated. During this ex-
pertinent he discovered that they
thrive best when planted in Septem-
Der, allowed to grow throughout the
winter. and are ready for harvest be-
tween April IS and May Is. While
their development during the winter
months is very slaw the frost and
even snow have no injurious effect up
on the plant, and with the coming OF
spring they take on a rapid growth,
and fruit much more plentifully than
the velvet bean.
On entirely uncultivated and infer
tilted ground the plant grows from
four to six feet high. and single
bean pod comes on each joint or limb.
They do not cluster as do the other
beans. The foliage and even the stalk
IS extremely tender, and cattle and
stock eat it with great relish. 1t is
found to have been wonderful milk
producer and a great fattener.
Prepared as human food the bean
is found much more palatable than
the lima bean, tnOuSH SndPSu dDoul
the same, and has something of the
taste of garden peas or green peas.
AS for age, dried out the entire
plant is available, the stalk being who'll
ly free from the wood-like hardness
of other peas or bean stalks or vines,
and the aroma is very pleasant.
The department of agriculture has
made a chemical test and found the
protein content OF the bean to be con-
siderably higher than the velvet bean,
the fiber lower and the fat about the
same.
1t is found on examination to be
the greatest nitrogen depositor for the
soil Of any agricultural plant ever
known to the department, and is pro-
lnounced to be far above any legumi-
nous crop experimental with so far.

ATLANTA. Ga.-What gives pros
pect of being the greatest iced as well
as food producer in the shape OF a
bean. that may out-rival the velvet
and soye bean, is being investigated
bv the state department of agriculture.
Recently it came to the attention OF
the department that there was beng
experimented with on a strip OF land
in the city of Rome what IS known
as the Lindsey Johnson Winter
Bean" an agricultural product OF
most remarkable nature. For purposes
of investigation Assistant CommlS-
sioner Jim Hicks and Director l.. n.
Jackson, of the market bureau, went
to Rome and made thorough exam
ination of the plant.
Col ]. Lindsey Johnson, tor years
editor Of the Rome Tribune, was given
foreign appointment by Presideent
Wilson during his first administrator
in the consular service. During ms
travels abroad, particularly IN the
Philippine Islands, Col. johnson was
attracted by various agricultural PROD
nets which he believed could be grown
in this country with a high degree OF
success. Among other things he, gain

attention because of its hardy nature

great success. The seed were sent &c

STATE is PAYING

One-half of the Confederate pen.

state treasurer's checks to the county
ordinaries, who act as disbursing
agents, were mailed Friday, after Gov

The method of dividing the PEN
sions into two equal payments is the
same this year as heretofore. That is,
the full years payment is being made
at this time to pensioners in approx
mately one-half of the counties, and
the balance will receive their full years
payment some months later, when the
condition of the treasury permits.
This years pension is $500 for each
pensioner except disabled pensioners,
some of whom will receive less than
S100 and some more, depending on
the nature of their injuries.

GENOA ROWS JUSTIFY

POLITICAL BROILS A FEAT
URE, AND PROPHESY OF
HUGHES FULFILLED.

WASHINGTON.-The stormy ca
reer of the Genoa economic confer
ence up to date is regarded by the
Harding administration as ample vim
dication of its declination of the invi-
taton to the United States to partici-
pate.
Secretary of State Hughes, in his
note to the powers, declining the invi-

was to be more political than econom-
ic in character and that the American
people desired to keep clear OF entan-
clement in the political problems OF
Europe.

Hughes and other high administration

PARIS.-A number OF American

have been killed in the streets by
the famished populace who seized
the horses for food, according to
reports received here today by the
American relief organizations in
Paris from the Ufa, Bashker and

drivers for the American relief ex-
petition were killed this week, the
reports said.
Several other employees Of the re-

lives, have quit their posts, the re-

VETS AND DRYS
CONTINUE TO DIFFER
DO NOT AGREE AS TO SIGNIF-
ICANCE OF RECENT CON-
GRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The re-
suits of recent congressional primaries
and local elections reflect dissatisfac-
ton with the prohibition policy of the
government, according to the interpre-
tation of party leaders and members
of congress. In these districts the vote
was about evenly divided between ur-
ban and rural communities.
In attempting to explain the indi-
Gated protest against the dry law al
ter two wears OF experiment, prohibit
ton leaders point to the fact that the
results in New York and Illinois were
dictated by the dominance of city vo-
tiers over those of an agricultural char
acter.
"Wets" Expected to Gain in House.
The "wets" naturally assert that the
apparent Endorsement of their protest
against the dry" law was due to re-
versal of sentiment in the farming
sections of the three congressional dis
tricts. or the normal majorities would
have been maintained. Both sides will
undoubtedly continue their dispute
without making the slightest impress
sion on each other.
Party leaders who are still studying
returns from the congressional dis
tricts, as well as the results in local
elections in various parts of the coun-
try, concur in the opinion that there
exists widespread dissatisfaction for a
wide range Of reasons with the prohi-
bition law.
There is little question that the
wet" and dry" issue will play a
prominent part in the contests for
seats in the lower house, not only in
the north Atlantic states, but OF most
of those in the middle west and on the
Pacific coast. Close observers of politi-
cal conditions share the opinion that
the ''wets" will gain a.large number
of seats, the guesses ranging from SO
to 100.

that petitions are being prepared for

The request was not granted, Judge
Bell contending that the nearly sixty
days of grace allowed Riley would at
ford ample time in which to put his
application before the pardon board
Riley apparently was unmoved when
the death sentence was passed on him

peal of his case to the supreme court

Boil Down The Ten
Commandments Now
ASKED of Conference

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Boiling
down the 10 commandments for
brevity's sake, the suggested re-
vision in the prayer book, if ac-
cepted by the general convention of
the Episcopal church at Portland,
Ore, in September, will ALLOW
clergymen to employ either the
short or long forms. Five of the
commandments stand as hereto
fore, without blue penciling. The
Joint commission on the book of
prayer has recommended the cuts.
Even though the short form of
commandments may be substituted
the report of the Joint commission
recommends that the command
ments be printed in full in the
prayer book.
Storms of controversy have rag
ed in recent years over phrases in
the commandments which it is aim
ed to make optional.

VETERAN BULLDOG OF
SEAS A NAVY TARGET
OLD IOWA, PLAYING PART OF
ENEMY CRAFT, WILL BE FIR
ED UPON BY GUNNERS.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The Unit
ed States navy is staging one of the
most unique forms of target practice
ever devised the sinking of 1900
ton battleship moving under its own
steam, controlled by radio, without a
person on board the doomed vessel.
The victim, the Iowa, veteran OF the
Spanish-American war, left the navy
yard in Philadelphia for the Delaware
breakwater, in charge of the destroyer
Dickinson. A skeleton crew was
aboard the old warrior as it swung
down the Delaware, but the last OF
the men will be landed at the break
water before it goes to meet its fate
at the hands of the Atlantic feet, re-
turning fresh from winter maneuvers
at Guantanamo, Cuba.
Steer Control on Destroyer.
After discharging its crew at the
breakwater the Iowa will begin its
ghostly voyage guided by the invisible
control of the radio, manipulated by
officers aboard the Dickinson. The
battleship will steer for the vicinity OF
Cape Henry, its diminutive consort
keeping a space of several miles be-
tween them.
When the actual destruction will be-
gin depends on the keen-eyed lookouts
of the battle fleet steaming northward
searching for the Iowa, which to them
is an imaginary enemy" ship, on an
unknown course, bent on damage to
ports on the Atlantic seaboard. Once
it is sighted, judging by the navy s
reputation for Workmanship, its finish
will be a matter of minutes.
