 Round Five.
 Villa led with two lefts 10 the body and two to the head, all hard, Wilde iabhed Villas lowered head repeated ly hut Villa flashed out Of 1t and swung to both head and hodS solidly, Wilde sent in numerous short light blows to the head as Villa erouehed, Villa took hard left on the chin and gave one back. Wilde landed hard right to jaw, Villa landed hard straight lefts 10 face and right to body and head.
 ItrttIu NA.
 Wilde's right eye was swelling shut, as he came up for the round, Villa slugged him about the head. 4 back hand left sent Wilde backward. Wilde lay on the ropes and took n terrible smashing with almost no defense. Villa whacked him all the way across ono 6de of the ring trying to bring him down. Wilde scored half a dozen jabs and protested against yil- las backhand blow, Villa landed three lefts to head and Wilde seemed as though he must die right there. Ten. twelve more terrific slams nailed Wilde and again at the bell he was almost knocked out for he was in the act of falling from snashes to his un- protected chin when the gong rang.
 Round Seven. s
 Wilde's left eye was closed and there was large bump over it. The Filipino immediately rushed the champion to the ropes and landed countless lefts and rights to jaw. Wilde was helpless and unable fo protect himself but gamely tried to fight back. Wilde sent light left to jaw and put his right to chin. but there was no steam behind his punches. Villa landed at will to body. A left and right to Wilde's chin, delivered in rapid succession, sent the champion against the ropes and, on the rebound, he. fell flat on his face. His handlers rushed into the ring and carried him to his cor ner. The time of the seventh round was one minute forty-six seconds.
 There was no cheering. The crowd was amazed by the terrific punish ment the champion took. Both Wilde's eyes were closed The fans gave Wilde q mighty cheer as Announcer Joe Humphries called for a token of for the fallen champion.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. ~. w. FELTON

the preceding yaer at same rentaI-on same
land. He turned over four bales and quit
paying. I examined the gin books, to find
he had ginned and carried off twenty-seven
bales of cotton from the gin, including the
four I had received. Then he became So
called bankrupt. After he passed through
bankruptcy and failed to return my rent. l
visited the grand jury. He was indicted for
larceny after trust. He went to trial and
the jury said guilty. Then the trial judge
fined him forty-three dollars (about enough
to pay the fees) and let him go. Not one
cent was awarded to the aged victim OF this
expert swindler.
Where are we drifting when the courts
fail to protect honest people from such
swindlers and thefts?
He rode in automobiles-and dressed well
and as I believe swindled his creditors out
of thousands of dollars, and made an es-
cape by bankrupt technicalities-and again
by very leRient judge on the bench. We
t have the law, but the law enforcement is
lacking. People find it easier to let these
bankrupt cases go by default because it is
easier and cheaper in the end, rather than
/ fight the rascals.
Again, the taxpayers must bring up TO
the tax collector whatever a spendthrlft
county or city commission decides to assess,
and no matter how wasteful and eXtravagant
the expenditure you are helpless-if not
hopeless of relief. The states condition is
similar, if not more so. There seems to be
no regard for disasters like boil weevil and
providential losses. The cry goes >up-"we
have got to have it"
Like the horse leech's daughter the cry is
"more more" The deadbeats who are crowd
ed into official places are expected to howl,
and hurl defiance at the people who pay the
tax money. The louder their demands, the
/ fewer their own tax returns, and more bar
rem of interest. y
Whether our intelligent citizens are too in
different or too timid to rise up in protest
I can not decide. There are many thousand
farms being sold all over Georgia-to pay
taxes that are bound to be bought up by
a great many syndicates before many moons
shall wax or Wane.
If we are not forced by the identical sort
of governmental tyranny by which Great
Britain exercised over Ireland-we are trav-
cling along the same highway in that di-
rection-and the end is poverty and ruin
Again-the money that is wasted on the
mass-I had nearly said mob of officials
state, county and municipal in Georgia,
should he brought to light by rigid bookkeep-
ing methods, and the books should be open
to any person in the state capitol and county
courthouse and city hall from Monday morn
ing to Saturday highland then there will
be a reckoning, presided over by public
opinion-Otherwise we will lose our liberty
as we'll as our hard-earned money There
must be enough courage to compel a review
of the names of those who are eating UP our
progress and prosperity as locuts devoured
old Egypt.
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1923-10-23
WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING


TVERY day in the Week-we see in the
II daily papers-where people are cOntin-
- ually run down and killed by automo-
bile cars and trucks The plain people who
walk are not safe from these casualties-on
the sidewalks. Nobody is safe anywhere on
any sort of a street from reckless spee0
fiends, who seem to learn nothing by expert
ence and they are regardless of penalties or
fines or even of conviction for voluntary
manslaughter. 1t gets worse every day, in
end be, when there is so much tax money
spent now to pay for cOurts-fOr pOl1ce-for
sheriffs and town marShals-and it is get
ting worse every day instead of better? l
am an old body need q private cOmfOrta-
BILE conveyance, besides a railroad car-but
am afraid to get in an automobile and
risk what seems to be iney1table-an upset,
a collision or whirI over an embankment-
and 1 know I could not jump from a turn
UNCOVER auto, if my life depended jump
out. l am afraid to risk a hired Chauffeur,
because he might have hOb-nobbed with
hooch before he announced himself as ready
for me to come out for ride.
These are real dangers-not exaggerated.
Again: 1t is otherwise unsafe to go In
crowded places on the sidewalks. Somebody
may be shooting-and you may catch the
passing bullet in vital spot 1t has reached
condition where husbands shoot down
wives-like they would stray cats-and
wives can return the same compliments and
to perform-with firearms
A man is lying in our county jail waiting
for court to assemble-WhO shot down his
wife like he might kill a dog with rabies.
AS it appears, he shot the mother of his
children-as he would viciously prepare to
kill a dog.
A woman is awaiting trial in Atlanta, a
young woman who got in a taXi-to push a
pistol in the mans side-to kill him, "be-
cause she loved him So" Heaven save us
if that sort of deviltry can be charged up
to love and what would you call the sort
that assassinated because she hated him! 1t
is such murders which is getting common
as pig tracks in the branch pasture-and it
is human life that is so cheap, that courts
and juries will only inflict a short term of
imprisonment-or a long drawn out season
of mistrials-with enormous court and jail
expenses. And we are filling jails-carrying
on murder trials-and the helpless and limo
cent have nothing to expect for protection
to life or property-from anybody or in any
pIace-where bride money can reach in and
perform it's usual mission.
Again, honest man, in business affairs,
has a poor showing a rule. 1t is the
sharper and the shyster lawyer who puts it
over. Our bankrupt laws are so flexible
that man can secrete other peoples goods
and then laugh at the victim in derisiOn.
I had a white man tenant, only few
years ago, who agreed to pay me six bales Of
cotton as rent-where he made a good crop
