EXecutiOner Who Kills
 Self Left Large Fortune

Breslau, April 4.--Paul Spaethe. the eXecutioncr who recently shot him. self in this city. left considerable estate and attracted attention to the excellent pay which eNocutioners get. Before the war 500 marks, or sl25, and travelling expenses was the fee paid for each execution, and it has now returned to about the same amount.
 Spaethe had guillotined 45 persons. That was emphasized by his lighting 45 candles, one to each of his Nic- tims, before he shot himself. He in vested his earnings in a restaurant and in real estate which enhanced in value, so his heirs are well provided for.
 A century ago the eSecutioners in Europe were a much 'higher class Of men than at present. They were re- quired to be educated in surgery, and practiced medicine. They were state officials and received fixed salary,

ENGLISH CRAFTSMEN. MIGRATE ID AMERICA
12,N7 Of Ensland's Skilled Men ] Settle in United States
'7~~4lespsSx m-JxMI

London, April 4.-During the first nine months of 1923 Great Britain lost ZO,509 skilled craftsmen from it's metal and engineering trades through emigration, and 12,207 of these have taken up permanent residence in the United States according to an official statement in the house of commons.
 This serious drain upon British in- dustry, which has been for some time subject Of alarmed comment, based on unofficial reports, moves tho writers of the press today to discuss the causes. The opponents of the la DOT point Of view say capitalism is driving the workers abroad by keep ing down wages and seeking to reduce them still further.
 Another view is voiced by the Daily Chronicle, which attributes the move to the depression in tho engineering trade here combined with the higher wages paid in America. The news paper dwels upon the advantages held by the United States in its vast natural resources and large home market. But contends this is not all.
 American industry" it says, lis not hampered like the British by the two main factors which are restricting British production and British wages. The American manufacturers far less shy of ovdrproduction than the Eng lishman and. which is equally impor- tant. the American worker believes in enterprise in his work.
 "The quick man refuses 10 be bound by the pace of the slow man. Trade unionLsm in America does not limit output and reduce the skilled to the level of the unskilled. 1t IS be- cause we adopt the opposite method here that the engineerins trade is in a parlous condition and the workers are so poorly paid"

the second member Of the cast, he
enacted a real O'IIenry story for
the education Of local business men

to take into account his own re-
ward, which amounted to between
$1,S00 and $1,000.
Mr.. Burton was standing in his
store, his trained eye on the watch
for possible customers, when the
leading man, hatless and coatless,
a large roll of money plainly visible
in one hand, entered. He had just

murder indictment against Fred A,
Mcclellan, formerly of Triton, Ga,

such an indictment, for q person to
be found guilty Of second degree
murder or manslaughter. The case
will be docketed for trial at the term
of criminal court which begins No

will be given by Mrs. Simms, wife
of the slain contractor. Both Mrs
Simms and young Mcclellan Wig
orously deny that their relations
during the six months the boy was
a boarder in her home were in any
way improper.

ger education, is just beginning to
realize his dilemma. But he is taking
SOIdC6 from the Telegram WHICH lie
received from his parents in Geor-
gia, pleding him their aid when it is
needed.
When told that Mrs. Simms had
turned against him and declared she
wanted him punished for the stab
bling Of her husband Mcclellan did
not appear much moved. He stated
that he was sure she would tell the
truth and that was all he needed.
1t is understood that the state,

states attorney John A. Garrett, is
going to make a point Of the fact
that the penknife Mcclellan used in
the stabbing had only recently been
sharpened.

STATES 1924 FARM
GAINS LEAD NATION,
CRED|TMEN LEARN

Georgia's gain in farm wealth this
year will amount to 46 per cent and
she will lead the entire country as
regards percentage, according to the
statement Wednesday night of p. r.
Bomeisler, Of New York, vice presi-
dent of the Georgia association,
speaking before the November meet
ing Of the Atlanta Association of
Credit Men.
Mr.. Bomeisler said that crop diver
sification and the program Of the
cow. the hog and the hen, sponsored
by the Georgia association, is re-
sponsible for much of the great in
crease in Georgias agricultural
wealth.
Among the gains shown in agri-
cultural products were a gain OF l5.6
per cent in the value of pigs raised
in Georgia, as against a general de-
cline of SO per cent in the country
as a whole, said the speaker.
cat the same time 10000 new dairy
COWS were added to the states
wealth, in addition to great gains IN
butter and cheese products. Three
million dollars worth of poultry were
shipped out of the state, whereas be
fore 1924. it was customary to I'M
port poultry"
Mr.. BomeisIer also called attention
to the value Of the tobacco crop,
which amounted to Sc, 551, $685.. lie
said that during the year the crop
was around 500 pounds to the acre,
while in North Carolina it was about
500 pounds to tie acre. Many North
Carolina tobacco growers already
have made preparations to move to
Georgia and take advantage OF the
cheap prices of tobacco growing
lands, he said.
Urging further intensified cultiva-
ton, the speaker stated that cotton
acreage should be cut and that
farmers should devote more effort
to increasing the yield per acre.
But diversification is the real
secret Of the success" he continued
mo one crop system can make the
farmer rich but the three-ply pro-
gram can always provide him with
cash for his needs"
1t was announced that the next
monthly meeting of the association
will be held on December 3, in or
der that the members may hear an
address by J. II. Tregoe, secretary
of the National Association of Credit
Men. Following this meeting a
number of members of the local as

vannah, to begin on December 5.

Republicans Claim
One Electoral Vote
OF Alabama S Twelve

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov ID
Possibility that one of Alabama s
electoral vote may be cast for
President Coolidge is claimed by
some Republican leaders as a result
of a situation that developed at the
election.
G.. C. Bates, one of the Demo
cratic nominees for presidential cleo
tor, died after his name had been
printed on the ballot. Democrats
were advised at the last minute to
vote for A. A. Shelly, but few wrote
his name in on the ballot. AS a
result A. A. Bingham, Republican,
ran about 10000 votes ahead of
Shelly as most of the Democratic
votes were cast for Bates.
AS a result it is stated a COM
mission headed by the governor may
be called on to pass on the case.
