Progress in Dairy
Industry of State
Shown in Report

ATHENS, Ga, July 14-That
there has been good progress in the
development of the dairy industry in
Georgia is evidenced by a report
just made public by officials of the
State College of Agriculture here.
The increase in the number of
creameries has been very marked,
there being 16 in operation at this
time as compared with five last
year.
Cheese factories are becoming
very popular in the northern Sec
ton of the state. the report says,
due to the fact that small capital
is required, and one may be sup
ported on less than 100 COWS. This
makes them well adapted to COM
munities just started into dairying.
About $1,000,000 worth of produ cts
have been turned out by the cream
cries and cheese factories in the
state, and practically every county
in the state is participating in this
wonderful development, say Off
Gals. 1t has been demonstrated
that the quality of Georgia-made
butter Is better than that shipped in,
and this has gone a long way to es-
tablish the home product on local
markets.
In spite of all the development
that has occurred, it is said that the
state $ still producing less than 5
per cert of the butter consumed
within the state.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga, July IA.

Sheriff E. S. Garner with illegal dis

liquor running. The sheriff and
three deputies captured him last
night with a car containing corn
whisky, according to the officers,
Fortune was lodged in Jail for q
few hours and then released by the
sheriff so that he might return TO
his family. He will get a prelimi-
nary hearing in a few days, and
meanwhile flatly refuses to say q
word about his case.
II had a tip several nights ago.,
Sheriff Garner said, that Fortune
was running liquor through Gwin-

OF LaWrenceville. 1 laid for him

night we got on the right road, and
although he slipped by us, we over

Attorney Fortune, according to
his own admission, recently was in.
strumental in having Sheriff Garner

II searched Fortunes home for
liquor. 1 found none, but did find
many empty containers that smelled
like liquor. Fortune has been mad

Fla. Whipping Case
May Doom Convict
Leasing in Alabama
'eferred to Uniform Tax

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July IA
One Of the results of the recent in
vestigation of alleged outrages in
Florida prison camps will be to make
the subject of the leasing Of Ala
bama convicts one of the most COM
pick matters to come before the Ala
bama legisla ture when that body
convenes tomorrow; for its summer
session, according to the opinion ex-
pressed by members in advance Of
the meeting.
Inspired by the inves legations and
their results in Florida, citizens of
Alabama started an inquiry into con-
ditions in this state and several
groups now are demanding that the
present lease system be abolished,
despite the fact that the legislature
at it's January session extended the
leasing system until December,
1928.
Governor Brandon has expressed
himself in defense of the existing
system, declaring the state SHOULD
make no changes until some other
employment might be arranged, en-
aiding the state to continue them at
work without loss.
The league of women voters os
Alabama, who also have the aid
Of various. legislators and many
private citizens, have declared their

Noted French General
Is Invited to Macon
For Bridge Dedication

MACON, Ga, July 14.-Announce-
ment was made today that General
Fl. J. E. Gouraud, distinguished
French soldier, and Governor Cliff
Walker will be invited to participate
in the exercises incident to the dedi-
cation as bridge of remembrance"
of the beautiful concrete bridge
which spans Echeconee creek eleven
miles from Macon on the Dixie high
way, and which will be officially
opened for traffic August 6.
Tentative plans announced call
for mammoth picnic, to which all
citizens of Bibb and Houston coun-
ties, which will be connected by the
bridge, will be invited.
The occasion will surpass the visit
to Macon approximately a century
ago of General Lafayette, due to
the fact that approximately seventy
five soldiers from Bibb county died
in service during the World war
while serving as members Of the
one hundred and fifty-first machine
gun battalion, recruited in Macon.
