himself in the role of st. George Slay-

His future has, with the decline of

1923 CROPS MORE
VALUABLE THAN 1922
DUE TO INCREASE IN PRICE
OF CORN, POTATOES AND
SOME OTHER CROPS.

In spite of one of the worst crop sea-
sons on record, Georgia crops for the
year 1928 were worth approximately
S24.000,000 more than last season, &C
cording to V. c. Childs, assistant agri-
cultural statistician of the State De-
partment OF Agriculture.
This was principally due, Mr..
Childs states, to increases in value OF
corn, potatoes and other major crops.
Tobacco, peaches, pecans and oats
made larger crops than last year, but
nearly all OF the other crops were be-
low those of 1922. Calculations are
based upon the prices received by the
farmers December /, except for the
fruit crops.
For the year 1928 the corn acreage
was 4,034,000 bushels compared to A.
$4,000 bushels for 1922. The yield
per acre was 1873 bushels, which is z
of bushel higher per acre than the
preceding year Corn production tor
the past year reached 49,315,0 900, which
was lower than 1922 with 56,620,000.
The total value of the 1923 corn crop
is estimated at $52,660,000 as compar-
ed to $45,253,000 for 1922.
Tobacco acreage was increased from
1000 for 1922 to $4,000 for 1923.
Production for 1923 was 11,237,000 for
1922 5,94O,OOO pounds. The value OF
the 1928 tobacco crop is estimated at
I$3,371,0 900; for 1928 $l,764,00O.
Peach acreage and peach production
also showed advancement for the year
1928 with the acreage estimated at
10. 787, o32. and 10,311,000 for 1922.
Production for 1928, 5,248,000 bushels;
for 1928, 100000 bushels. The value;
of the 1928 peach crop is estimated
at $9,24l, 600; for 1922 S7,154,0O0.
Pecans was another crop that took
the upward trend the past year. Acre

SURPLUS OF A HALF
BILLION IN TREASURY
COOLIDGE WARNS THAT A
SPENDING ORGY WILL NOT
BE IN ORDER.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The fed
eral government started the new fiscal
year Tuesday with a surplus in the
treasury of approximately half a bill
lion dollars. The exact figure will not
be known until the books are balanced
late this month.
Warning has been served upon the
executive departments by President
Coolidge and Brigadier General Her
bert M. Lord, director of the budget,
that the announcement of this surplus
is not to be taken as notice for the
opening of an orgy of expenditure,
but that further and more drastic econ
omies in governmental expenditures
are to be effected during the fiscal
year.
1t is the presidents plan to cut the
government total expenses during the
fiscal year 1925-26 to not more than
$3,000,000,000. This will mean the
pruning of $83,000,000 from the pre-
liminary estimates.
Extravaganza Must Stop.
With declaration for economy
ana after tUdI lot HlOIS SCOHOlily, dS
his conception OF serving all the peo-
pie, the president delivered the adj
dress at the seventh regular meeting
of the Business Organization of the
Government" In short, crisp SEN
fences he emphasized his determine
ton that extravaganza and inefficiency
in the government must give way to
economy and efficiency.
President Coolidge dwelt upon the
dangers to the republic of excessive
taxation and pointed out that it is al
ways the people who toll who pay.
He said freedom is at an end unless
the people can enjoy reasonable secur-
ity in the possession OF their property.
Warning against excessive taxation
the president declared that any gov
eminent which exacts more taxes
than are required by urgent public
needs and sound public policy is not
protector OF liberty but an instrument
OF tyranny, which condemns the citi-
zen to slavery. He argued such a
course means the breaking down OF
free government.

LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS
IN JANUARY FAVORED
WOULD INSTALL GOVERNOR
AND STATE HOUSE OFF,
GERS AT THAT TIME.

The house committee Of the general
assembly on constitutional amend
ments have voted Is to to report
favorably the measure changing the
time of the regular session of the leg
islature from June to. the first We'd
nesday in January.
The bill would have the effect, if it
became law, not only of changing the
time of year for the legislature, but
OF putting the governor and other
state house officials elected in the fall
primaries into Office in January, in
stead of compelling them to wait UNI
til June, as at present This is by Tea-
son OF the fact that the constitution
does not set a date for the Inaugural
ton of the governor, other than the
first Saturday after the legislature
meets in its regular session. The au-
thor Of the measure is Representative
Linder, OF Jeff Davis.
Favor Salary System.
The same committee also favored a
senate resolution to grant TO all coun-
ties in the state with $4,000 or more
population the right to place their
county officers on the salary system
instead of the fee system. This would
REQUIRE a constitutional amendment,
and later local bill for each county
which elected to take advantage OF
the opportunity. The resolution has
already passed the senate.

BRIGHTEST CAFES OF BROAD

FLOWED TOO FREELY.

Broadway's "jazz" melody has be-

nine of its brightest pleasure palaces

ton. For years the gay spenders who

One day employees of nine cafes, all
owned by one company, went on a
strike. They went to United States
District Attorney Hayward and told
him of some of the things that hap
pened within. He closed the places up
tight. The court ordered them to be
darkened for a year. Paddock" in
functions were issued against them.
The first nine places closed included
the most dazzling on Broadway They
were the Palais Royal, the Plantation,
the Moulin Rouge, the Montmartre,
the Club Royal, the Balmoral, the
Barn club, the 400 club and the Club
Gallant. Three others, the Rendez-
vous, the Silver Slip and the Holly
wood. were warned that they, too,
would be closed if the laws were tur-
Their violated.
Owners Undismayed.
The owners OF the palaces are not
disnayed. They say they will go out
of business and rent their places as
stores. The Broadway fans, however,
are dismayed. In vain they are seeking
some other place to 60 to spend their
money, drink their liquor and forget
their cares.

newest! Naughty Broadway is busy
draining it to the bitterest dregs.
