URGED WIVES TO
TELL ON HUSBANDS
JUDGE STRANGE SUFFERED A
SERIOUS ATTACK WHILE
CHARGING GRAND JURY.

STATESBORO, Ga.-The wheels
OF Justice were suddenly stopped this
morning an hour after Judge H. B.
Strange, OF the Ogeechee circuit, open
ed superior court for the regular Oc-
tober term. Judge Strange had not
quite finished his charge to the grand
inrv when an attack of vertigo came
upon him. His attack was caused from
high blood pressure which caused a
brainstorm.
Invited Ministers and Women.
One entire section of the court
room was occupied by ladies who/had
evidently come to hear his charge to
the grand jury The judge had invlt-
ed the ministers of the county and the
women to be present He had address,
ed the body on several subjects and
had gotten we'll into the prohibition
question when the attack came upon
him. He had handled the subject with
Gloves off in addressing the grand
iury, and had also referred to the
ladies as being able to assist, going
50 far as to say that if any of them
knew their husbands were drinking
whisky at home behind the door 1t
was their duty to report 1t to the
grand Jury. He also said a reason
whv the law was being violated so
much is due to the fact that there are
so many church people who will take
drink OF whisky. He declared that
this lends encouragement to the man
who makes and the man who sells 1t,
and that the law will be hard to en-
force as long as this continues.
Showed Great Emotion.
It was probably his efforts on this
subject that brought on the attack.
He showed emotion while on the sub
iect and some Of his friends said that
he spoke louder than they have heard
him. -,
After physician examined HIM he
rested for a few minutes and then
made an attempt to finish his charge
TO the grand jury, but the second at
tempt only lasted Jew minutes. He
had to give up and was taken out OF
the court house by friends and rushed
70 his home. where he was IN criti-
cal condition for sometime. He IS now
much better

SENATOR GEORGE
ELABORATES VIEWS
REITERATES OPPOSITION TO
LEAGUE OF NATIONS. MAKES
PLEA FOR BUSINESS.

MOULTRIE, Ga. - Senator-elect
Walter F. George, in an address be-
fore the Kiwanis club here, spoke
without equivocating on national and
international questions, asserting that
caDita1 must be made to feel safe IN
coming out from its hiding place and
seeking investment. lie reiterated his
opposition to any entangling alliances
with foreign powers.
The senator-elect referred to the
league of nations as method and
while he said there was room Tor dit
ference of opinion as to methods he
voiced the opinion that nearly all
Americans are one in their desire to
accomplish benehcent influences OF this
powerful nation on other nations OF
the world. He insisted that he bel1ev-
ed that the great world problem, like
the great local problem, is economic,
and that this nation cannot serve the
world better than to try, first OF all
to restore the markets, the channels
of trade. the stability of financial sys,
TENS and friendly exchanges in world
wide business.
Needs Help of Capital.
Judge Georges remarks with refer
ence to so-called big business were
followed with keen interests; He as
serted that this country needs to get
back to the point where capital feels
safe in coming out OF hiding and seek
ing investment. He declared that law
makers should be steered away from
legislation that drives money into non
taxable securities instead Of entering
lines Of business that give employ,
ment and afford markets. He. asserted
that legislation had dealt with buSi-
ness OF the country in recent years as
if it were an immoral thing. This has
done harm, according to his line OF
argument. Judge George said that big
enterprises should be encouraged,
rather than discouraged, since indus
trial prosperity is essential to the ma
tons prosperity.

LOSING S12O,0OO,OOO
BY TAX FREE BONDS
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SAY
ANNUAL COST OF EXEMP-
TON IS THAT AMOUNT.
ISSUES NOW ARE 10 BILLIONS

Renewed Effort to Amend Federal
Constitution Likely to Be Made
Soon. Such Securities Seen as In
vitation to Debt.
WASHINGTON, y. C.-There is
total OF $4,000, 100000 outstanding
in tax-exempt American securities, &C
cording to calculations made by treas
ury actuaries and submitted to Secre-
tary Mellon.
Because OF the enormous volume of
these issues, it has been estimated in
a further memorandum now in the
hands OF the secretary, that the gov
eminent is losing in revenue at the
present time not less than $l20,000,-
600 annually.
Seen as Invitation to Debt
Moreover, the readiness OF large in
vestors to put their money into tax
free bonds of the government, of the
states, counties and municipalities is
regarded by high government officials
as direct etmptatiOn on the part of
such interests to go deeper and deeper
into debt.
The growing extent of such securi-
tics, plus the loss to the government
in taxation, plus the withdrawal OF
funds needed for industrial develop
ment, convinces the president and
treasury officials that the pending
amendment to the federal constitution
prohibiting the future issue OF any tax
free bond by any interest should be
submitted by congress to the states at
tkc earliest practicable date.
Drive Expected at This Session.
President Harding already has rec
commended the passage OF the resolu-
ton of submission. Secretary Mellon,
in one communication after another
addressed to congressional commit
tees, has urged the adoption of the
amendment The house committee on
ways and means has reported the
favorably, and there is
reason to believe that a concerted
drive will be made during the coming
session of congress to muster the nee
essary two-thirds to vote Tor subm1s-
sions of the proposed change III the
constitution.
Would Not Affect Present Issues.
The amendment would not affect
arv part of the more than $4,000, 600,
0G0 OF tax-exempt securities now in
existence. Eventually, however, all
such securities would disappear. Some
thing like 81 000,000,000 worth of these
bonds mature annually, it is stated.
Most OF them are for street and sew
err and other municipal improvements.
The government has outstanding
$2,184000,000 in tax free bonds, the
most OF which were first liberty loan
bonds. The federal farm loan bonds
now aggregate $284000,00O and the
bonds OF the similar possessions
amount to $50000000.

FORMER SLAVE REACHES
ADVANCED AGE OF 1856
Was 10 When Washington Died Has
Remarkable Remedy.

Uncle Berry" Fowlks, who lives
near Gates, Tenn, has lived under the
administration of every president of
the United States, for he is now 1886
years old, and is believed to be the
oldest man in the United States. He
was Is years old when Washington
died, and was p years cid when Rob-
ert Fulton launched the first steam
boat, the Clermont, in the Hudson
river.
Born a slave, Uncle Berry" served
many years on the plantations in South
Carolina and Tennessee. He was sold
for $3.50 just before the civil war, and
in his youth was used to cut away the
forests in Tennessee and guard his
white owners against Indians. He has
no authentic record of his age, but
descendants of white families who
owned him in slavery days assert that
his claim to being 1876 years old is
well founded.

than there is in the world George
T. Jones, of San Jose, Cal, filed
petition in bankruptcy. He said the
amount due his principal creditor is
S304,840,332,o12,685,16. In 1917 he
borrowed 500 from Henry S. Stu
art at ten per cent interest COM

a judgment against Jones, and the
petition in bankruptcy followed.
The court held against Jones.

Southern to Give Stock
Or Cash to Loyal Men
President Harrison Offers Shopmen
Who Stuck $3.50 or Five Shares.

All employees of the Southern rail
way who volunteered to leave their
regular duties and serve in its shops
during the strike last summer are be-
ing presented this week with either
checks for $3.50, or certificates for tve
shares OF its preferred stock. At rail,
road headquarters the action was SAID
to represent the appreciation OF the
company for loyalty to its interests
shown bv the men concerned, and not
to represent a bonus or wage pay
ment in any way.
A large number of other railroad
companies affected by the strike, II
was said, have taken somewhat SINH
lar action. The donation went to sew
eral hundred employees on the South
ern lines, but no estimate OF the num-
Der or the total amount involved was
made public.
