President Rountree
Adopts "Code Of Ethics
Raps Low-Brow Members for Attacks
On Fellow Craftsmen

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. Is - The
grossly improper, if not unethical prac-
tlce by newspaper men, at least by
few low-browed members of the pro-
tesSion OF making verbal or written
attacks on fellow members of the craft
will be thing OF the past in Geor-
gia If the newest code of ethics" OF
Chas. d. Rountree, president of the
Georgia Press Association is respected
MIR. Rountree, Wrightsville editor,
who was elected president OF the AS
ISOLATION at its last meeting, has, it
seems very high and definite ideas of
the possibilities which attach to the
profession of journalism, in which he
is a recognized leader He has never
seized his pen. or sat at his typewriter
in moment OF spite and paid his
"d'srespects', so to speak, to a fellow
laborer i'll the newspaper game; nor,
what is more important perhaps, has
he ever permitted his name to 90 to
a communication or circular deroga-
tory of brother newspaper man.
In his code of ethics, promulgated
in the nature of suggestions, Mr.
Rountree makes this important sugges
ton to editors:
ITO refrain from speaking or writ
ing discouraginly or disparagingly of
contcmporaneous papers or editors"
Georgia editors as a whole, are
recognized as men of high type, pro-
tessionally, politically and as commune
ty leaders. In a few instances, some
OF them have oversteppcd the bounds
of dccency and proprety in their col
umns and at press association meetings
in making dcrogatory statements CON
corning other members OF the probes
sion. 1t should be stated, however
that the activities OF these mon in
"jabbing their fellows" have not been
countenanced by the better class OF
editors, and for the next wear, at least
while he is in office, President ROM
tree is expected to insist upon his
code OF ethics, particularly on one
thing, that there be an absence of de
rogatory utterances OF one newspaper
against another or OF one editor
against another, either or both

Indictments Returned Monday
by Grand Jury at Douglas =

Douglas, Ga, Oct. 17-Officers

'hev termed one OF the most re
citing crimes in the history oi
This section, when they reported
G. i'll Avon Park, Fla, this
morning of L. s. Rogers, formes
mill hand in Garrant Lumber Co
at West Green, who is under in
dictment on charges of killing
his brother, John Alton Rogers
Al, burying his nude body in a
cornfield, and later fleeing with
Mrs. Ohm Alton Rogers to Florida
The Coffee county grand jury
returned the indictment vestcr-
day and Sheriff Tanner LETT this
morning to bring the man and
woman back here for trial.
The accused man, police say. shot
the brother in the head with pistol,
killing him instantly, and &hen
wrapped par. CT quilt around the
unclothed corpse, which he buried in
the field. The act is said to have been
committed Nov. Is, 1922. The alleged
s'aer is then said to have reported
that John Alton Rogers had deserted
his family, and left for an unknown
destination.
Raised Crop over Body
Afterward, the officers assert, Rog-
ers cultivated CROP and plowcd over
his brothers remains all this year.
until about month ago when he took
Mrs. John Alton Rogers and went to
Avon Park. She was a Miss Var
brough, OF West Green.
Previously. he is said to have con-
fessed to . friend that he had killed
his brother and buried his body in
the field. After he left town, the
friend reported the conversation to
someone, and Coroner G.. L. Sims was
notified. Last Sunday, the coroner
went to the place, and dug up the
remains which were identified, it was
said, by means of the gold teeth of
the deceased.
The skeleton was brought to Doug
las Undertaking Parlors, and will be
buried later.
The officers held the case a secret
until the alleged murderer was ar
rested.
Court is now in session in Douglas
but it is hardly probable the defend
ants will be tried at this term. Wheth-
err they will return to Coffee county
without a requistion is not yet known.

cult with reference to memorial for
the late John L. Herring, OF Triton;
The Herring Memorial Day Com
mittee hereby gives notice that the
service scheduled for next Sunday at
the School Auditorium will not be
held. We have not weakened oux de-

compilation and publication OF Me

cred all of the splendid articles which
appeared in the newspapers, togeth-
er with such others as friends may
specially offer, will more fittingly and
enduringly express the things we feel

splendid expressions of love and ad-
vibrations. Under the broad power del
egated, We feel justified i'll thus chang

Fireworks Feature
Evening Program
Graphic Portrayal of Train Wreck Be

Exposition

Pyrotechnics in its technical defini-
ton means complicated array OF H.
Illuminating powders and bursting shells
but as this word is understood by the
average fair attendant to be the more
G:gnlfied eXprS ssion for fireworks
this is the term that will mark the
gorgeous display at the grounds Of
the Savannah Tri-State Exposition
during the week October 27-Nov. 3
The glow OF sky shells will attract
a great cvoncourse OF gazers just as
the candle flame will always attract
the moth
Ii everything on the program at the
Savannah FAIR were to fail there would
he still something unusual for the
pleasure stekt~s to see This is the
Marvellous portrayal Ct a train wreck
told IN the NC st realistic form and, col
crs 1t is the Head On Collision, a
masterpiece i'll fireworks II anufacture
that has never ,ccL sccn in this sec
ton. 1t is new production that has
just been placed on the field for ex-
position and carnival patrons, and in
the few places shown this year it has
been acclaimed the most awe-inspir-
ing attraction given carnival and
exposition patrons.
The head on collision represents the
most modern manufacture of chemical
combinations. 1t is staged on a field
with three hundred frontage and
when the preliminary torches reflect
in the faces of the audiences there is a
general tremor followed by few
moments OF tension that grips the en-
tire crowd. But this anxiety is short
for it passes like flash. The noise
made by dynamite in this display can
be compared to the days in the Ar
gone Forest which will forever be re-
membered by veterans of the world
war.
Two huge locomotives three hum
dred feet apart, loom from the por-
tails of the night when the program
is opened. The colors of the iron
steeds" are realistically pictured and
the dense clouds of smoke pouring
from the tunnels enhance the whole
scenery remarkably. Presently the
great monsters START slowly towards
each other the drive wheels and pist-
on rods increasing the speed The
mad rush has begun, and the Shrleking
and changing bells give warn
ing that there is to be an accident. A
moment and the two monsters have
meta terrific boiler explosion and the
earth is rocked. The protected audi
fence is captvated, every one is mo-
tionlcss, the wreck is done. Columns
of smoke, steam and missiles are
hurid high into the air. and the ravap-
ing flames leap from the wreckage and
reflect in the sky crimson glow of
the burning embcrs.
Such is the closing chapter of each
days activities as will be seen at the
Tri-State Exposition. The fireworks
will be accompanied by appropriate
selections from the Royal Scotch High
landers Band, and the whole evening
program will have finish that will.
