HOGS SHIPPED FROM JENKINS
Carload Bought by Local Buyers At
Eight Cents Pound

Millen, Ga, Sept. l6-The first car
load of hogs to be shipped from Jenk-
ms County this season went forward
Friday evening to distant market.
The car was bought by local buyers at
8 cents per pound There were 102
hogs in the car which graded number
ones being of pure bred variety and fed
right during the past several months,
The Chicago market on this day for
number ones was $3.50.
Although efforts have been made this
season to stage cooperative hog sales
thus far all efforts have failed. In
Southwest Georgia last week at a
a cooperative hog sale prices ranged
around $685. per hundred and the far
mers were SO delighted over the price
gotten that enough has been pledged
for one car already with four others
in prospect for the next sale.
With Georgian reducing less hogs
than last year and never producing
as many as she should, ought to have
some bearing on the local market as
each year tons and tons of meat are
shipped into every small town VIII oh
amounts to millions during the year

ETHICS FOR NEWSPAPERS

In general the newspaper men have
had code of ethics but not so clear
y defined as President Rountree of
the Georgia Press Association has
outlined it in the recent joint dis
trict meeting at Athens. Three rules
OF his code are perhaps more frequen--
ly violated than others and trans
gressors not far to seek:
10 have an established rate, adhere
to 1t and give everybody (even your
competitor) square deal"
10 give credit to copied mater.
70 refrain from speaking or writ
ing disparagngly of contemporan
eous papers or editors.

THE JEFF DAVIS HIGHwAY-(Au

THE JEFF DAVIS HIGHWAY Augusta
Chronicle Augusta is fortunate as a highway
center, being on the Dixie Highway, the Federal
Highway and now on the Jefferson Davis Highway
which will run from Nicksburg, Miss. to Rich
mond, Va. The promoters of this highway resent
the term Jeff Davis" and have officially named
it the Jefferson Davis Highway" Secretary Isdor
Oelders OF this highway association and the editor
Of the Fitzgerald Leader Enterprise OF Fitzgerald
'Ia., was IN the city yesterday and discussed with
Secretary Hart, of the Board OF Commerce, the
proposed routes into Augusta Several routes have
already been traversed but is thought the route to
be selected will be via Wrens Louisville, Dublin,
Albany Fitzgerald, etc. The local officials OF
the Board Of Commerce pointed out to Mr. Geders
that, whatever route selected into Augusta,
a splendid highway would be offered in Richmond
and adjoining counties.
There is great deal of beautiful Southern sent
iment IN regard to the Jefferson Davis Highway.
Running from Vicksburg, Miss where one of the
battles OF the Civil War was fought through the
heart OF Dixie to the capital of the Inflated Confed
cracy, and which is one of the great cities of the
South. The proposition carries romantic and SEN
t1mental appeal to every who longingy and
lovingly looks back upon the heroes who wore the
grey and whose thin ranks are now becoming
thinner each year with alarming rapidity 1t will
be but few years before all are gone and we will
nave nothing left with us but cherished memories
OF those splendid men who fought back in the
sixties for principles they believed were right.
And it is particularly gratifying that the Jeff
eerson Davis Highway is to be sponsored by the
Daughters of the Confederacy, who will have me
moral trees planted on either side of the roadway.
30 we learn all the way from Nicksburg to Rich
nond Secretary Gelders informs us that the sign
boards placed along the highway will be in the
colors OF the Confederate flag and the markings
VIII be so distinctive that there will be no way for
the traVelTs to go astray, either night or day
There is talk of beginning the highway out in
Waco, Texas and bringing it across the Missss-
lppl to Vlcksburg and then on while there is also
talk OF branch going via Atlanta to see the great
memorial of the Confederacy being carved on
stone Mountain but the real highway, the most d-
rect highway, will be that which extends from
Elcksburg to Richmond via Augusta, and we feel
That IN the years to come this will mean as much
to the South as the Lincoln Highway does to the
Worth Certainly it is fitting that if a great high
ay across the great country which Abraham Lin
coin traversed from Illinois to WASHINGTON. is
erected to the war president of the United States,
That highway from the Mississippi home of the
president of the Confederacy should be erected
through the heart of the South to the capital of
the confederate states by the people of the South

FOR BETTER OR WORSE

This phrase might as fittingly enter
into a governors oath of Office in
these days as INTO the marriage vows
1t is hardly fifty-fiftv proposition in
Alabama and it is worse in Oklaho-
ma. Strangely enough the question OF
one mans right or a group of mems
right TO fog cnotfler is the cause ii
all the confus'o on in both states Gov
ernor Walton has maybe gone too far
in putting the whole state under mar
tial law-two steps too far in fact in an
effort to censor the press-though no
doubt much harm can come from bi
ased and inflaming news stories IN
times of bitter sectional or party fueds.
The fact that the. Federal troops were
not sent on the Governors demand
is some thing of check on his d-as-
tic designs.
Over in Alabama the restoration OF
the lash for C0nv cts as employed last
week brings into sharp contrast the
methods and the AIMS stressed by the
former Governor Kilby who condemn
ed the, use of the lash and moreover eff
fected revolutionizing conditions in the
better housing, feeding and general
care OF convicts and held the ult mate
plan of abolish'ng the lease system
This last is the real cause of trouble
in the recent whipping case at the Ban
ner mines where Fl lashes with a leath-
err strap were given each of II con
victs both white and colored for met
ing a strike The present Governor
Brandon backs the convict board in
ordering the lash restored in both the
mines and camps This arouses much
intense feeling and controversy.

INDUSTRIAL CRAFTSMANSHIP Governor

AANDOo NAL . Al ESMANSHlP-lIO Governor
Pinchot OF Pennsylvania has stopped the anthra-
cite coal strike before it was fairly well begun. His
action reveals what a state executive can do if
he has courage. How did he do it? Did he call
on the federal courts? No. Did he call on the
iroops' No He simply called on common sense.
Common sense told him that he couldn'et mine
coal without miners. lnjunctions and threats and
rifles wouldn't take the place of miners So he
couldn't propose a settlement on the operators
terms and expect to get coal
lie could however, propose a settlement on the
miners terms and compel the operators to accept
Common sense told him that he couldn't mine
ne coal There obviously was great Justice in the
miners demand. Pinchot couldn't sec the Justice
OF their whole demand, but he saw sufficient to
Justify his course. A week OF moral pressure. the
only kind OF pressure he had upon the miners, en-
abled him to win them over to his program of par
tal relief.
50 coal will be mined. The eastern states will not
suffer and the country has seen something new in
industrial craftsmanship

LONELY WOMEN COOPERATE


In Paris where the cruel man loss
of the World War is indicated by the
vast numbers of lonely women who
will go through l;fe without mate,
there is movement to supply at least
that other natural longing of a wom-
ans heart, the semblance of a home
The plan is to launch cooperative
project with shares and to erect a
block of flats for about 400 separate
dwellings. In addition to the
private apartments of four rooms at
a cost of but $35 year there will be
community rooms such as restaurant,
assembly rooms and laundry conven-
fences for all.

The moon was something like

from flying machines, but only sava-

as they once did, that dragon is eat

that angry gods are warning us to be-

In the old days they took ecl;pses
so seriously that two armies, about to
fight, turned tail and went home in a
hurry when the sun began to disap-
pear. 1t was poor ruler that didn't
have some kind of eclipse when he
died.
The Reverend Increase Mather who
wrote his interesting essay on Ere
rnarkable Providences" in the early
Puritan days, found it easy to explain
an eclipse in Massachusetts,. He said
it expressed the grief OF Nature at
the death of President Chauncey of
Harvard. Quite compliment for Har-
ward
We know that an eclipse means
nothing at all except that the moon
gets in front of our sun lamp and
shuts out the light for a minute. We
have progressed in that way. But
we don't yet know enough to stop
numbering each other, as they did in
| the days OF superstition and darkness.

ATTITUDE OF LABOR MAY NOW BE REVEALED
British Leaders Criticised For Talk
 ing Part In Royal Functions

LONDON, March 16.-Definition Of labors position toward monarchy or toward a republic may result from the attendance of laborites at royal functions. This question was in Jected into the split ranks of the workers party when several labor members of Parliament. with their den party held by the King and Queen Friday afternoon.
 Moved by hostile comment aroused over Ramsay McDonald's presence at Buckingham palace Thursday ght. in which> the leader of the British labor party was accused of Row towing to royalty and wealth. mem bers receiving invitations Friday asked for clear delineation of la bor's position. David Adams. one of those attending the garden fete, re- Voaled the basis of his acceptance to the United News.
 First. l asked my fellow mcm- Lers: Has the labor party ever passed resolutions in favor ot hmi- tation or abolition of monarchy! Ada ms explained.
 The reply of Arthur Henderson labor's chief whip was in the negs- tive.
 Then I asked; Has the trade union congress. ever passed such q resolut.on?'
 Again the answer was no.
 "Therefore" Adams added, "as II party to be against monarchy-as II isn't republican party-I felt per feet liberty to accept the invitation of inc K ing and Oueen"
