Georgia May Lead
In Highway Work
obstruction Plans of State Authorities
Provide for Big Development
Particularly in Rural Sections

Atlanta, Ga, August 2-Pushing OF
the highway construction plans in
Georgia this year give promise, accord
ing to state highway officials that
another year will find this state well
on its way to the most credftable sys-
tine of highways in the Southern states
Especially valuable to rural devel-
opment in Georgia, as we'll as the rest
of the South, is the building of better
roads as Chairman John N. Holder, of
the Georgia Highway Department
pointed out today
THE South has not made the prog
ress in the past in making the rural
life what it should be that the North
and West have DONE" said Charm
Holder, land yet the South's hope is
in its agricultural progress quite as
much as in its industrial growth. Good
roads in every part of the state, will
do more to extend and hasten the
farming progress in Georgia and to
make the rural home life of the state
what it should be thau any other public
improvement work that can lie under
taken"
The farmer, more than the town man
will profit and be benefited by better
roads in Georgia according to Atlanta
business men, for, as they point out,
they will put him more closely in
touch with the market centers, will en-
able him and his family to reach the
church and the community center with
less effort and annoyance, will enable
his children to get to and from school
more regularly and will encourage ru-
raj community spirit.
ITO the business men in the towns
good roads, of course" said an Allan
ia business man discussing the sub
jetc in the capitol Hobbies, twill mean
more business and an extension of
trade into territory that cannot be
reached while the roads are poor ar
difficult to travel. The matter of road
Improvement really touches every in
terest IN state-farming, merchandise
ing, educational, religious, mining"

Attack Of Bull
Injured Man Rushed to Local
Hospital; Seriously Hurt
But Will Recover

J. O. Wyman, veteran r. f. D.
Carrier, and well known throughout
the county, was most seriously
wounded by Jersey bull, the p. opcr-
ty of Spencer Yopp, a colored man
living at 800 w. Palm street. The bull
was tied out for grazing and in some
way got loose, finding his way into
Mr.. Wyman's pasture MIR. Wyman
went out to drive him out, when the
bull attacked him and causing serious
injuries, breaking several Gibs, rip
pin the lower abdomen and causing
other injuries
Ne1ghbors rushed in and drove the
bull from his victim and took the I'M
conscious man to the Fitzgerald hos
pital, where medical attention was I'M
medlately given him For some time it
was. thought the injuries might prove
fatal, but hospital authorities now an
nounce him out of danger.
Mr.. Wyman has been a resident
here since the early colony days and
has been in the Rural Mail srvce ever
since it was established in the county.
He is subject to retirement with a
pension, but has refused to be retired
thus far 1t is not thought probable
that he will re-enter the service. Mr.
Wyman is sixty eight years old and
has host of friends in the city and
county, who will be glad to learn of
his probable recovery.

Mrs.. ]. B. Herrin
Suicides AT Home
Four Grains of Strychnine Cause
Sudden Death; No Reason
For Rash Act Found

Mrs. J. B. Herrin, wife of an en-
ployee of the A. B. & A., died Mon
day afternoon as the result of taking
sttrychnine, secured during the after
noon.
Mrs. Herrin had been down town
shopping with her two little girls, dur
ing which time she visited two drug
stores. On account of the absence of
the druggist from one store, she failed
to secure the poison there, but succeed
ed in another, stating she wanted it
to mix with syrup to kill reaches.
She appeared entirely composed and
in the best of spirits. On reaching her
home, she took four grains of the
strychnine and informed one of the
children of the fact, who ran to a
neighbor who phoned for physicians,
who, ethough they responded quickly,
failed to safe the unfortunate woman.
No motif could be ascribed for the
rash act by her family, as it is said
the best of relations existed between
its members. The body was taken in
charge by the Fitzgerald Furniture
Company. The remains were laid
to rest in Evergreen Cemetery Wed
nesday afternoon, Rev. Daniel Off
ciating.

time ago from Waycross The unfor-
tuna.e woman leaves beside her grief
stricken husband, two young daught-

Southern Bankers
Propose New Plan
Actual and no Theoretical Collection
at Par

Washington, D. C., Aug "A new
plan for handling bank checks, de-
scribed by its proponents as one that
Will mean actual and not theoreticaH'
collection at par, was submitted today
to the Federal Reserve Board. The
suggestion, ocered by Charles C1ai-
borne, New Orleans; and L. r. Adams
Atlanta, representing the National and
Statae Bankers Protective Association,
was made when the board met to give
further consideration to its own plan
for enforced par clearance, the effec-
! tive date of which was indefinitely
postponed last week.
The Claiborne-Adams program con-
templates the use of par clearance on
a voluntary basis within each of the
twelve reserve districts but would per-
NIT collection charge on inter-dis-
trict transactions. 1t would take the
place of the recently promulgated Or
der of the reserve board, later with
drawn, prohibiting the reserve banks
from receiving on deposit or for col
lection checks drawn on banks which
are not members of the reserve system
and which at the same time, do not re-
NIT the face value of checks.
1t was contended by the sponsors that
while the check collection proposal OF
the protective association would allow
banks to make the collection charge il
they saw fit, there would be such an
inducemnt for banks to remit at par
that the number handling checks with
out the service fee would increase
The belief prevailed in some quart
ers, however, that the scope of the
program was so broad as to make the
checks equal to currency within the
federal reserve district with a result
that the burden of expense in handling
the check would be placed on the re-
serve system. The expense, accord
ing to those of this view, ultimately
would come out of the govrnment's
franchise tax from the reserve banks.
The special committee of the reserve
board OF governors which acts in adj
visory capacity with the board partic-
lpated in todays deliberations. While
no official statement was Forthcoming
it was repordet that the governors did
not look with favor on the Claiborne
Adams suggestion. 1t was said, how
ever, that two and possibly three board
members we're inclined to support the
proposal.

Dorminy Ard Owens
Off Buying Cows


E. L. Dorminy, of the Fitzgerald
Creamery Company and county agent
c. T. Owens left for Putnam county
to purchase several carloads of milk
cows. Putnam county was one of tn
earliest counties to enter the dairy cat
tie industry under the leadership of
Hon. Ia Hunt, banker of Eatonton,
and was for a number of years the on
ly county witha creamery in the State.
With the advance in price of cotton,
their farmers reverted back to the cot
ton system and for the last three years
have practically been bankrupted on
account of the scarcity of feed stuff
they are now selling off ONE of their
dairy herds and it is probable that
some real bargains may be secured.

Harding Steadily
Gaining Health
Say Physicians
Cautious Attendants Almost Ready to
Announce Danger Mark Passed,
Declare Reports

Presidential Headquarters, Palace
Hotel, San Francisco, Cal, Aug. i,
President Harding was resting comfor-
tably tonight after day described by
his physicians as Somewhat restless"
but marked by many indications that
he was slowly but surely winning his
way back to health.
The restlessness of the day was due
i'll part, it was said by the physicians
to slight and only temporary at
tack of indigestion resulting from in
ability to assimilate two soft boiled
eggs beaten for breakfast.
This lslfavorable condition was
more than over balanced by the de-
cline of the presidents temperature
to normal for the first time. Mention
of both of these elements in the presi-
dents condition was made by the at
tending physicians ina bulletin issued
at $50 O'Clock this evening. The
bulletin added that there was evidence
OF slight Improvement in the condi-
ton of the lungs, where central
patches of broncho-pneumonia had ex-
listed since Monday. The pulse, ac-
cording to the bulletin had varied dur
ing the day from ll6 to 120 and the
respiration from SO to 40.
Every official statement from the
attending physicians today contained
evidences of improvement and every
report from the sick room told of
steady progress result is that
tonight the cautious physicians are
almost ready to announce that all dam
ger is passed They recognize, how
ever, as they said in bulletin issued
shortly after 10 o'clock today, that
every care is necessary to assure
freedom from further complications
With this situation existing, there
was settling down during the day to
the task of bringing about complete
recovery-a task that will require an
number of days, most of
which will be spent here in San Fran
cisco. The headquarters, hurriedly
here last Sunday morning,
we're altered in some respects to pro-
mote efficiency and so that there may
De the same smooth running condition
that exists at the white house in

When politics are in the air, dis
cuss1on follows sons very interest
ing. paths. The presence OF National
Editorial Association members if New
York last week gave political leaders
the opportunity to feel the pulse of the
country as to sentiment for various
presidential possibilities andr impos-
sibilities
Comment and views naturally turned
to compromise candidates, particularly
IN the Democratic party, where lead
ers thinks John W. Davis of West Vir-
glnla looms strong dark horse" for

by few candidate possibilities. He is
at present head of the American Bar
