Guilty of White Slavery

Ole B. Hoven, farmer from Ante
dope, Mont, charged with violation OF
the Mann or White Slave act, was
found guilty in federal court Satur-
day afternoon.

woman, long after Hoven had severed

Thrifty Farmer Adds to His Holdings

While farmers as a rule have not
been making much money, due to the
low prices, James r. Eide, thrifty
Wang township farmer has added to
his holdings this year by investing in
a fertile 80 acre farm from G. S.
Schwartz, adjoining his own. He now
has a 44O acre farm and there is no
better soil in the state. Mr.. Eide
grows considerable grain, but he pays
more attention to cattle. He leases
considerable land besides and sells
considerable stock every fall. He has
sold 50 head this fall at fair prices.
Just now, Mr.. Eide is engaged in a
political campaign. He is one of the
nominees for county commissioner
from the Fourth district and states
that he is receiving excellent encour-
agement.

COLLECTOR
UNDER CHARGES
Woman Former Secretary Asks
Warrant For Rose For
Attack

ATLANTA, July 10.--An affidavit
filed Saturday with W. Colquitt Car
ter, United States commissioner, by
o. NJ. Duke, of Flovilla, attorney for
the former woman secretary Of ]. I.
Rose, internal revenue collector for
Georgia, charges that an attack was
made on the woman by Mr.. Rose.
Collector Rose has been away from
his office at the federal building
more than a week. A. A. Acklin,
chief deputy collector, stated that Mr..
Rose went to Washington in an UNI
official capacity. He said Mr.. Rose
had not been suspended.
Mr.. Carter declined to issue a war
rant, saying he would conduct a per-
sonal investigation into the charges.
He said he would issue no warrant,
except at request of Clint w. Hager,
district attorney. Mr.. Hager would
not discuss the case, except to say
he knew nothing of it Sin an official
capacity
G. E. Golding, a representative of
the treasury department, was in At
lanta Saturday, commissioned for an
investigation. He said he would talk
the matter over with Mr.. Hager, but
expected no action or development
to be made public until some time this
week.
Prior to the collectors departure
from Atlanta, he is said to have dis
cussed the situation with friends
saying the charges were a political
"frame-up" and denying knowledge
of any of the alleged incidents in
volved.
The former secretary was en-
ployed in the collectors office i'm
mediately after his appointment sew
eral months ago. Later, she asked
a transfer to the income tax depart
ment.
According to her story, which was
presented to Federal Commissioner
Carter by Mr.. Duke, the alleged at
tacks had their inception IN March,
when Rose was asserted to have
forced his advances upon her in an
anteroom in the internal revenue
offices in the federal building.

'BRACk BLALOCK AND
LEGISLATOR IN FIGHT

ATLANTA, July I'D. B. Bla-
lock, private secretary to Governor
Hardwick, and Representative c. H.
Kittrell, of Laurens county, came to
blows in the Kimball house lobby Sat-
urday afternoon as the result of an
argument concerning Representative
KittrelPs attitude toward the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Commits
sioner J. j. Brown, who is being OPP
posed for reelection by Mr.. Bla-
locks father, A. o. Blalock.
The argument, it was stated by
both parties, hinged on the question
of whether Commissioner Brown, as
chairman of the State Board of
Entomology, was giving Georgia far
mers the preference on orders for
calcium arsenate. Mr.. Blalock is said
to have repeated an assertion made
to him by State Senator Nix to the
effect that Commission Brown caus-
ed some shipments to be diverted to
South Carolina, Representative Kit
trell is said to have declared this as
sertion to be a mistake.
In the course of the argument,
which grew heated, Mr.. Blalock is
said to have called Representative
Kittrell a ''liar" whereupon the lat
ter struck him and Mr.. Blalock
struck back, and the two were sep
arated by mutual friends.

LUDIE RILEY'S NECK IS
SAVED BY RARDWICK

ATLANTA, July 1O.-Ludie Riley,
young former soldier of Albany,
sentenced to hang July q for an al
legged criminal assault on a ten-year-
old girl in Dougherty county, in the
spring of 1921, was committed to life
Imprisonment in an order signed by
Governor Hardwick Saturday.
In committing the sentence Gov
ernor Hardwick said he had read the
entire record in the case and made
a thorough inquiry into every angle
of it. He said his investigation has
created much doubt as to the guilt
of Riley and that he is unwilling,
under these circumstances, to see him
hanged.
In the first place, according to the
governor, Riley's conviction was OBJ
tanned solely on the testimony of the
girls mother, whom, he said, had
been shown to be of questionable
character.

NOTED FILMS TO
Be SHOWN ANEW
Six OF Greatest Produced By
Paramount Announced For
July By Rylander

Six of what are said to be the
greatest pictures ever produced have
been secured by the Rylander theater
for showing during the month Of
July, Manager Emory Rylander an
nounces.
Each of these pictures has been
shown in Americas some time during
the past 10 months, but not in the
Rylander theater," Mr.. Rylander
said, "but hundreds of people here
have requested their re-showing, just
as is being done all over the coun-
try.
Because of these requests Para
mount corporation has reprinted
and re-issued these pictures and we
have secured them.
"These prints films } are brand
new and will come direct to us from
New York City. In each picture will
appear an all-star cast, men and wo-
men who have mounted highest on
the ladder of movie fame.
For instance, there's Male and Fe-
male, with Wanda Hawley, Elliott
Dexter, Theodore Roberts and other
great stars; Don't Change Your
Wife, with Gloria Swanson, Elliott
Dexter and Theodore Roberts; 'On
With the Dance" the greatest pic
ture Mae Murray ever made; Lon
Cheney, Betty Compson, Thomas
Meighan, David Powell, Bebe Daniels,
Lila Lee and a host of other stars
appear in these six great master
pieces.
I'VE have been able to secure them
at price that enables US to show
them at the regular 25c and 10c adj
mission.
at is simply a revival Of old ia
vorites, re-showing of pictures that
the Americas public has stamped as
among the best ever shown here.
While lots of people saw them when
first released, still there are thous-
ands who missed seeing them and
they have often requested their re-
turn.
in our opinion few of the 1922
pictures compare with these of 1920.
At that time the producers were lit
orally squandering millions of dol
lars in the productions then being
made. Financial conditions of the
past year have caused the producers
to spend less on each picture, cutting
down the number of high priced stars
and saving on the elaborate settings,
But when these six features wera
made, money was no item. We he.
lieve we have made selection that
will delight thousands, including
those who already have seen them"
