Fl. VALLEY CITIZENS THANK
THE PEACH" VOTERS HERE
Disappointed, But Harbor No Enmity
Or Unfriendliness for Anyone.

Editor News, Dawson, Ga: We, the
undersigned citizens OF Houston coun-
ty, spent several days prior to the re-
cent election in your good city and
county in the interest of the amend
ment creating Peach county. Please
permit us through your excellent pa
per in behalf OF the citizens of the
proposed Peach county to express to
the people Of your community and sec
ton our genuine appreciation OF their
fine courtesy and considerate hearing
and for the very generous support
given our bill.
While a majority of the small num-
Der voting throughout the state were
against us, and the verdict at the polls
was bitter disappointment to us, this
being the only measure OF the kind
ever to fail of ratification and none
having been put through the legis-
lature by cleaner or more honorable
methods, we harbor no resentment or
unfriendliness toward those who telt
constrained to vote against lis. We are
confident that had we anticipated that
the fight against the ratification of our
measure would be so extensive and
vigorous in time to rally our forces
efficiently and to adequately present
to the voters of the state the need OF
the new county, the justice and merits
of the proposed division, and the bene-
fit accruing therefrom TO the entire
state, there would have been a much
larger vote in favor OF the amend
ment and the division so necessary for
the peace and prosperity Of the entire
section concerned. both old county and
new, would have been consummated
without further delay. Thanking you
! for your kindness. we are cordially
yours, AMOS MURRAY,
B. T. MARSHALL.

California Voters
Reject Public
Ownership

San Francisco, Cal.-Returns from
the November 9TH referendum now
virtually complete after long tabula-
ton, show that California voters de-
feated by more than two to one a
proposal to issue $500,000,00 OF bonds
to finance the operations OF board OF
five men to be created to take over
and operate hydro-electric utilities.
The latest figures are 443,0OO votes
against the plan and 2Ol 600 tor 1t.
This reputation OF an entire program
is probably the most thorough ever
effected in a California election.
This message will carry inspiration
to the Georgia farmer from his broth
err in California. Its meaning, robbed
of well sounding phrases, is that the
farmers taxes there will not go to pay
for the cost OF electricity, gas and
street car rides OF the comfortably
housed city man. 1t means an end
there to a dangerous, unjust, commu-
nistic propaganda
The raisin grower OF California is
one with the cotton planter OF Geor-
gia. Farmers are one the world over.
Their interests are identical. And the
vote in California points clearly to ev-
cry Georgia legislator his duty toward
this question OF public ownership.
What these men tried to do in Cali
fornia-and failed to dds precisely
what their fellow conspirators in the
Municipal League have tried and are
trying to do in Georgia. If anything
the plan proposed for Georgia is even
more dangerous to the farmers inter
ests, the small town mans interests,
than the California plan. They limited
their proposal in California to an issue
of five hundred millions OF dollars in
bonds to finance the plan The Georgia
scheme has no limit.
In California they proposed that a
board of five politicians should take
over the power plants and run them,
paying for any losses with the states
tax money. That is the same identical
proposal made to Georgians by the
Municipal League. But the Georgia
plan involves also the throttling of the
constitutional safeguard against ex-
cessive indebtedness for which the
taxpayers property is security. Once
this sacred barrier is hacked away,
once those conspirators are in charge
of the vast properties bought with
bond money, there will not be left one
single safeguard for the farmer or any
other taxpayer.
By the terms of the proposed law,
this board of politicians would be re-
sponsible to no one-not even the
courts. They would be above the Pub
lie Service Commission-above the
legislature! Their authority would
come directly from the constitution,
as slashed and changed by the plan,
and they would be law unto them
selves! What an opportunity!
This is the plan being urged on
Georgia lawmakers. Until now the
senator's and representatives, with COM
mendable consistence, have rejected it.
But it will come up again next sum-
mer. The Georgia farmer is the back
bone of the state and he is the states
political boss His word to his legisla
tor should echo his California brothers
stern refusal to surrender his welfare
or his property to these visionary, sell
fish conspirators.-ad

GIRL WOULD TAKE
VENGEANCE ON MATE
SERVED WITH HIM IN PRISON
FOR LOVE, AND HE FLED
FROM JAIL ALONE.

Warden Thomas II. Rynning, of the
Arizona penitentiary, Florence, Ariz.
is in a quandary. He is trying to find
out whether it is love or hate that has
inspired Mrs Ida Hadley to journey
to Arizona and turn every legal stone
to save the life of her husband, Paul
V. Hadley, sentenced to be hanged.
There are two theories. One is that
she really is trying to save her hus-
band because Of her great love for
him. The other is that she wants to
cheat the law of its vengeance that she
may wreak vengeance OF her own.
Sentenced to Be Hanged.
Ida Hadley killed man and served
time in the Oklahoma penitentiary be-
cause Of her love for Paul Hadley.
And Paul, the minute he was able to
elude Oklahoma authorities, deserted
his wife in prison and soon became en-
tangled with another woman whom he
later killed 1t is for that murder that
he is sentenced to be hanged.
Ida Hadley, before she left the Ok
lahoma penitentiary at McAlister,
swore vengeance. One day she said
she was glad her fleeing husband had
been captured and was to be executed.
The next day she repented and said
she still loved him and was going to
Arizona to help set him free.
1t was five years ago that Hadley
and his young wife were arrested in
Kansas City, Mo-, at the request of
Texas authorities, and Sheriff Jake
Giles, of Beaumont, started back with
them on a train. She was not wanted,
but insisted on accompanying her hus-
band to face a charge in connection
with a shooting.
Just outside Of Muskogee, Okla,
Ida Hadley, lavishing kisses upon her
hand cuffed husband pleaded with the
sheriff to let him loose. She promised
he would not run away and she want
ed to feel his arms around her once
more before he went to Jail The ten
der hearted sheriff acquieSced and a
minute later the young wife shot the
sheriff dead and she and her mate leap
ed from the train.
Girl Broke Into Jail.
They were found several days later
in the Oklahoma woods. A court SEN
fenced the husband to the Oklahoma
prison for life, but released the wife
on the legal ground that her actions
had been controlled by her husband.
The woman pleaded to be imprisoned
with her husband but was refused.
A crude jail-breaking plot failed and
Mrs. Hadley likewise went to jail. The
husband and wife, meeting a few min
utes once a week, vowed never to
leave the prison unless they could go
together Then Hadley was permitted
to go to Kansas City ION his honor"
to see an attorney about some patents
on an invention he had perfected in
prison. He failed to return and his
wife apparently became bitter against
him for falling to keep his word to re-
main in prison until both could go
free.

Taking Desperate Chances.

It is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and a knowledge OF this fact leads 9th
ers to take their chances instead of
giving their colds the needed attention.
1t should be borne IN mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the
vitality, makes the system less able
to Withstand each succeeding attack
and paves the way for the more scri-
Gus diseases. Can you afford to take
such desperate chances when Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, famous Tor
its cures of bad colds. may be had
for a trihe?-adv

HOW TO SELECT CORN
SEED FREE OF DISEASE

You can insure having a good
lot of seed corn, free from disease,
if you will observe the following
rules worked out by state expert
ment station:
/. Select ears from stalks only
which have made vigorous growth
and are firmly rooted in the soil.
2. Select ears which break away
clean without ragged appearance
at the butt
3. Reject all ears which show
mold-like growth.
4. Place ears selected upon a
rack or frame where rapid drying
may proceed without delay.
5. Wet weather after the corn
is in the shock favors the develop
ment OF root-ror fungi, hence it is
desirable to select seed ears before
or during cutting OF the corn.
Tests show that less than per
cent of the crop OF corn is found
to be affected where the seed was
disease free.

CLUB WOMEN AND

1t has been said that the club. women
of America, acting as unit, can bring
about almost any moral reform to be
thought of, aud whether this be true or
not. women s clubs are playing an i'm
portant part in bringing about reform
in movie production. For the-most part,
what has been accomplished by the
clubs, has been done by educating
public sentiment against pictures that
tend to lower national ideals of home
and other institutions that appear to
them to be basic to national life and
well being. Almost every club now has
a special committee or department
working for the better film movement
and results have already been gained.
California women who are less hamp-
cred by tradition and conventionahties
than are women in older sections, are
working independently for better
films and are not afraid to show their
displeasure in emphatic manner when
decencv is offended, or when the pro-
duction tends to suggest crime or to
discredit the home, the church or the
martial relation. VIII Hays win find

WOMEN FARMERS

WOMEN FARMERS
One who keeps in close touch with
the trend of affairs can not fail to
note that men and women are turning
back to the soil as means of liveli-
hood. A few years ago, women farm
ers were little known, but they are
growing in number and some of them
are making Il great success of it too.
Here i'll Imperial valley, women have
found contentment and satisfying
return on farms, aud are still doing
so. BOYS and girls are studying
scientific farming in the high schools
and in universities and coming to look
upon farming with far more favor than
in former years. 1t is a big business
requiring not Drawn alone but brain
of extraordinary quality.
When one reads of the controversy
now being carried on over the minimum
wage for women. it eXcites wonder that
more of these girls do not turn to pro-
ductive lines where they will not suf-
fer the indignity 'of having some board
or commission tell them how much they
can eat and wherewithal they shall be
clothed.
