EUGENE CHILDS, NEGRO,
FOUND DEAD ON TRACKS

Eugene Childs, a negro, was
found dead upon the tracks of the
Central of Georgia railway Sunday
morning near Andersonville. The
body was found by train crew and
Childs had been dead several hours
when found. A coroner's jury
which viewed the corpse Sunday
morning decided after brief in
vestigation that the dead man had
been struck by a passing train and
killed. Information furnished Cor
oner jenkins was to the effect that
Childs' had been seen, drinking
heavily late Saturday at a point
near the railroad, and it is believ-
ed he law down upon the tracks and
went to sleep, being killed by some
train passing that point during the
night, probably without being seen
by the engineer.

GEORGIA TOBACCO
CROP IS VALUABLE
Authorities Estimate Yield in
State at Between 100000
and 100000 Pounds

VALDOSTA, August 4.-From
85,OOO,0O0 to 4O,OO0,Ooo pounds Of
tobacco is the estimate by reliable
authorities that win be sold during
1924 by South Georgia tobacco
markets. this, too, in view of the
fact that last Years sale resulted
in leses than 100000 pounds.
Authorities assert that the III
crease in practically every tobacco
growing county promises to be be-
tween 400 and 500 per cent, yet the
entire amount raised il Georsia
Will amount to little compared with
the amount used which will run to

SMALLPOX SPREADING
DR.. DAVIS ASSERTS

ATLANTA, August 4. -Blam-
ing negligence Of the public as the
cause, Dr.. W. A. Davis director
of the state bureau Of vital stats
ties, Friday gave out statistic show
ing that smallpox has been more
prevalent and has taken greater toll
of life in Geogria during the firss
SIX months of 1924 than during
any similar period for the past sew
oral years.
Smallpox has been so well check
ed during the last few years" said
DR. Davis, that people recently
have failed to regard it seriously.
They have neglected vaccination,
and this failure is reflected in the
records Of the bureau OF vital sta
tistics."
According to these records, 1000
cases of smallpox have been r.
ported in the Georgia registration
area for the first six months of
1924 as compared to 2S2 for the
same period IN 1928 and COS in
1922. Nineteen deaths We're re-
ported in 1922 and two in 1923.
Total deaths so far for 1924 are
sad to be considerably in excess OF
both these figures though these
figures have not yet been tabulat.

Staid Matrons of Washington
Are Worried Lest Princess
Alice Tell Inside Story
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Wash-
ington "sassiety," both official and
unofficial, is all keyed up over word
that Alice Longworth, princess
Alice" of the old Roosevelt days, IS
writing her memoirs"
win she tell this?" and "WiA
she tell that?" is being asked on
every hand by persons and person
ages who know that, if she wrote
without reservations, Mrs. Long
worth could let, not one or two, but
a whole flock of cats out of the bag.
For her "reminiscences could
cover not merely the inside doings
of social Washington for the last
rs years, but could reveal the inner
influences that have shaped official
and political history through many
campaigns. and administrations.
Probably no one in Washington
could so certainly produce a "best
seller" as this daughter of "T. K. "
Her knack, as a girl, of delighting
in doing the unusual, has been
carried over into her more mature
years in the ability to view and
say things differently, and always
with a punch"
Confirmation of Mrs. Long
worth's alleged literary efforts,
however, is lacking. Possibly SHE'S
getting a lot of fun out of the
suspense the unconfirmed report
has caused. Certainly she has the
town guessing"
Another guessing contest, in
which politically minded gentlemen,
however, are most concerned, is that
of trying to forecast who will be
the next, from either OF the CID
parties, to desert to Senator La Fol
lette.
The list of La Toilette heuten-
ants, coming over from the ranks
of the Democrats and the G. o. p,
is becoming of quite respectable
size.
Starting off with ony Senator
Shipstead and Magnus Johnson as
senatorial supporters, he has been
Joined by Senators Iadd and
