Not one Of them was walking on

Gingerbread Man had said everybody
must walk on his head for a week.
"What happened!" asked the mick

Its all right, nodded Nick. "The
Cut-Out Lady won't make the Ginger

gave her a heart and another good

There Is scarcely a good reason

having been done tc us are more
fanoled than real and all the srudg-

have been much magnIfed. Prob

them persistently and tenderly

Agent DOesn1Come
1872 Blacks Are Fooled by
Rccruiter Who Fails
to Show up.
Conductor Puts Them off
At Lecsburs for Walk
to Albany.

Negro laborers to the number
of 1872 were put off a Central Of
of Georgia train at Leesburg
Saturday night and walked back
II miles to Albany, where they
had boarded the train in the be-
lief that they were going to
SteubenyiIle. O. The negroes
said they had been recruited by
a labor agent who had promised
to meet the train at Leesburg
with their tickets. When this
labor agent failed to show up al
Leesburg, the conductor put the
negroes off.
The failure Of the labor agent
to put in an appearance is believ-
ed to have been due to an intense
agitation against the recruiting
of negro labor in this section.
1t is believed the publicity given
to this movement frightened off
the agent.
Figures given out by local rail
road officials indicate that negroes
have been leaving this section al
rate of 300 a month. These
figures would indicate about 1,20G
laborers taken away from this
section recently. The exodus
has made serious inroads on the
farmers of this SECTION. many

PROMINENT CITIZEN
HAS PASSED AWAY
J. A. Lipsey, Merchant and
Farmer Died Saturday
Morning After Short
Illness.

Mr.. j. A. Lipsey, farmer,
merchant and banker of Lees
burg, died at his home here Sat
urday morning after an illness of
only few hours from Paralysis.
This was the sec3nd stroke, Mr..
Lipsey having suffered a stroke
about 10 years ago which left
him in a helpless condition, but
he was in as good health as usual
Friday and his death was a shock
TO this community.
Mr.. Lipsey has been president
Of Leesburg and Lee county all
his life and has been very sue
cessful since he began his career
as a young business man and
farmer ard had accumulated a
good amount Of property by his
labor and management of his af-
fairs. He was at the time of his
death 81 years of age.
Mr.. ljpsey was member of
the BaE tist church having Joined
during the recent protracted
meeting which was held here.
The funeral services occurred at
his home Sunday afternoon at 4

Women Must Pay Poll
Tax Only if They Vote
Matter is but a Simple
Procedure of Law, Says
Attorney General.

Attorney General George M.
Napier states there is no mys-
terry connected with the regis
tration of women voters, but on
the contrary the law and the
procedure are very simple.
The legislature in 1922 passed
an act requiring women over
twenty -one years of age to pay
a poll tax of 81 a year. The act
took effect in and for the year
1922. 1t provided, however, that
women should not he required to
pay the poll tax unless they re.
gistered.
For a woman to register and
vote in 1923, Colonel Napier ex-
planned, she must pay her 1922
poll tax. If she does not wish
to register she is not required to
pay a poll tax. The 1923 poll
tax will not be due until the fall
of the year, he further explained
need not be worried about at the
present time.

Winburn Tells What
Railways are Doing

What the railways are doing for
the public, and how the public can
assist the railways, is discussed in
interesting fashion in statement by
President w. A. Winburn, of the
Central of Georgia Railway. He
says that the roads during three re-
cent months carried the greatest ton
mage in their history for any cor
responding period, and that they are
spending more than a billion dollars
for equipment and other facilities
during 1923. The railroads have
pledged themselves to place their
locomotives and cars in good repair,
to move their cars faster and further
and to operate as efficiently as pos
s,ble, so that reviving business may
no: be halted by any fault of theirs.
In return Mr.. Winburn asks the
cooperation of the public by certain
simple and practicable measures,
such as loading equipment to full
capacity; restricting so far as posi-
BILE reconsignment of traffic and
"order-notify" shipments; prompt I'M
loading of cars; increased storage
facilities; not ordering cars beyond
ability to load daily; and advance
coal storage and building programs
during the summer months.
The CentralJ president declares
that the railways seek and need the
good will of the people, and ask the
public to have faith in railway man
agement, which is endeavoring to en-
kance Americas material property.

APPROACH ABSOLUTE Zero
IN GOVERNMENT TESTS
Frozen Hydrogen and the Same
Element Liquefied Produced
in the Bureau of Standards.

A small quantity of frozen hydrogen
and about two quarts Of the same ele-
ment liquefed were produced at the
bureau of standards. In a successful
test of liquefying apparatus conduct
ed by c. w. KanOlt.
This represented the result after
chilling many thousand cubic feet or
the gas down to point close to abso-
lutte zero.
Several experiments were made with
the hydrogen ice and liquid later be-
fore the Washington Philosophical So
ciety a scientific organization, where
Mr.. Kanolt exhibited the product.
The frozen hydrogen was described
as similar in appearance to snow,
while the liquid was colOrless.
Doctor Kanolt told his hearers that
a gallon of Iiquefed hydrogen was
made in about two hours at the bu-
reau of standards. The experiments
there are on larger scale than has
ever been employed before.
In his talk he said:
"The method is rather simple In
principle but involves practical diff
culties which have interfered with It's
extensive USE The purpose of the
bureau of standards has been first to
secure liquid hydrogen when desired
In very large quantities.
"The work at the bureau has been
facilitated by the development OF
method of analysis by which very
small quantities of impurities can be
measured. After liquid has been OBJ
tanned, it is comparatively easy to
freeze it by evaporating under re-
duced pressure. The freezing point of
athe liquid is minus 259 degrees Cent?
grade, which is Ii degrees above alb
solute zero"
In order to liqufy the gas, a tenn
perature of 253 degrees Centigrade-
about 42O degrees Observation-Disclosures
zero had to be attained. The hydro
gen ice began to form few degrees
lower, at about 40 Fahrenheit below
zero.
All the low temperatures were pro-
duced by expanding the gas Itself
after it had been compressed under
pressure of 1900 pounds square
ineh,. chilled by application Of liquid
air and then allowed to expand.
Production of the liquid gases will
be continued as a part Of the bureaus
experimental work in studying be-
havior of materials and metals at very
low temperatures.
Hydrogen has been liquefied before
in the United States, but temperatures
lower than those induced in the proc
ess have only bea.& reached hitherto
in Europe, where helium has been
successfully liquefied.
Absolute zero, represented by 273.1
degrees on the Centgrade scale and
Ivy 1896 degrees on the Fahrenheit,
has thus been very nearly approached,
according to the above dispatch. Abb
solute zero represents the temperature
where there is an entire absence Of
heat and has never been attained by
