Such was the translation made last
night of writing on the back of a
bank book found on the body of a
man believed to be Jim HATH Morakis
of Madison. Ga. The body was dis
covered in a badly decomposed state
by the side Of a little-used road lead
ing out of Columbia; the skull was
fractured and a bullet hole through
the temple was believed by Coroner
Scott to have been the cause of
death. Local officials say they are
certain the man was murdered.
Sheriff Heise OF Richland county
telephoned Chief Of Police c. E. Elder
at Madison the facts in the case and
received a telegram from him saying
he was holding two men in Madison
for investigation. The Madison off,
cial also added the body would be
taken charge of by Jim PsorowdakeS
of Atlanta. Morakis, he said. was one
of the owners of the Busy Bee Cafe

these the laws should remain I'M

needs is restoration of conditions
that win insure steady and profitable
operation under existing laws. which

which the industry has grown and

there are other changes proposed, but
they are unimportant compared with
the scheme to abolish the apex law

principle is right but even if it We're

industry is built upon it is sufficient
reason to let it stand unchanged No
law could change or impair the rights
