commission. Mr.. Taylor recently re-
cess at last rewarded the fight waged
so long single-handed by the Geor-
gian.
Now that the campaign is over
and the fight is won, it has came
out that William Randolph Hearst
himself, owner of the Georgian and
American, but who has two splendid
and brilliant native Georgians at
their editorial helm and an all-South-
ern staff in charge from top to bot
tom, some time ago lent the move
ment $4,000 cash on an appeal from
Chas. Barrett, Of Georgia, president
OF the National Farmers union, aft
er he had been assured by Mr.. Bar
rett that there was a slim likelihood
OF HIM ever getting back any of the
money. According to Mr.. Barrett.
all that Mr.. Hearst asked him was
whether he was confident the move
ment, if it succeeded, would aid the
farmer, and when given this assur-
ance asked nothing more.
Right here the Times-Reeorder
wants to pin bit of bouquet each
on jim Nevin, editor of the Georgian
and American, and Edwin Camp, the
managing editor, probably the ablest
editorial management combination
IN the South, and to whom personal
ly must go the bulk of the credit
bestowed upon these two papers for
the success of this movement which
we believe is destined to mean so
much in prosperity within the next
lew years to the cotton farmers of
the South. Il was their faith and
their foresight, their genius to see
and plan, and their ability to make
others see and believe that resulted inf
success. This combination has been
heard from in other movements in
Georgia outside of politics as well as
IN, 1t will be heard from again. And
it will always be on the side it be-
iieves right, whether the rest of us
agree with it or not.

CITY SAVED MONEY
SAYS ATTORNEY DOW
While Smawley Case Cost S21OO,
Several Times That Sum Saved
in Decrease in Costs in
Three Years

That the Pullman city administra-
ton is being uniustIv criticized for
delaying action in providing an ade-
quate sewage disposal system is the
contention of City ATTORNEY d. c.
Dow. who represented the city in
the damage suit brought by ]. X.
Smawley in which damages amount
ing to $1,000 were awarded bv the
jury because of the alleged unsani-
tary conditions of the present sew
age disposal system near the Smaw-
lev place
The city. while incurring an in
debtedness through the damage
award. attorney fees and costs total
ing approximately S2100 has saved
several times that amount by reason
OF the delay in installing an
adequate sewage disposal system
through reductions i'm the cost OF
labor and materials while the case
was pending. according to City At
torney Dow. and can now install a
modern disposal system and pay the
costs Of the suit for much less than
the cost of the system alone would
have been at any time since the case
was instituted on September 13,
1919.
While some taxpayers are com
planning that the city administration
should have proceeded with the inn
provement in time to forestall the
damage suit, City Attorney Dow con-
tends that these same taxpayers have
been saved considerable money by
reason of the three-year delay, and
that it would not have been good
business policy to have constructed
a new sewage disposal system which
would probably cost upwards of $50
900. during the peak of labor and
material prices.
In stating his position in regard
to his fee of $1,000 for services In the
Smawley case, which has been held
over with other bills in the case for
future consideration by the council,
City Attorney Dow said that two
things are to be considered in de-
