LAWMAKER BREAKS
OUT IN A new PLACE
WOULD MAKE 1T A CRIME IN
GEORGIA NOT TO VOTE.
INTRODUCES BILL.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A bill to regulate
voting in primary elections in Geor-
gia; to prescribe qualifications of vo-
tiers; to require qualified voters to
vote in the primary elections of Geor-
gia, and to impose penalties upon
such voters who fail or refuse to vote
to fill state offices in Georgia has been
introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Langley, of Floyd county
The bill provides that all electors
who are qualified and who fail to vote
shall be required to file under oath
with the tax collector of the county
within sixty days after the holding
of the primary legal excuse in writ
ing why he or she failed to vote.
Penalty Is Provided.
Failure of any such qualified voter
to vote in any of the primary cleo
tons, and failure or refusal OF said
electors to file with the tax collector
an excuse shall automatically suspend
such elector or electors from the right
TO vote under the laws Of Georgia at
the next primary election. The pur-
pose of this act, the bill sets forth,
is to suspend only for the next inter
vening primary election the voting
privilege OF any elector who tails or
refuses to vote in the immediate pre-
ceding primary.
A legal excuse would be defined as
the same character OF excuse that IN
law will relieve juror from service
in any of the courts OF the state, or
relieve a witness from testitying.
The tax collectors would be reqmr-
ed TO receive and file excuses OF cleo
tors in a book kept for that purpose
and it shall be the duty OF the tax col
1ectors to examine and check the reg
istration lists Of their county prior to
the making up and publishing OF the
names of qualified voters at each ap-
preaching primary, and to strike from
the list Of voters the names OF all cltl-
Gems not qualified to vote under the
terms of the act.

THE GEORGIA PEACH,
GOES EVERYWH ERE
CONSUMPTION is ON THE IN
CREASE AND OVERPRODUC-
TON NOT PROBABLE.

ATLANTA, Ga,-With increasing
crops OF fruit in many states, includ-
ing Georgia, and many orchardists
continually putting out new trees, the
question is occurring to some if there
is not possibility that the market
for fruits of various kind may not
soon be so glutted as to make the or
chard a source of little or no profit, ii
is pointed out by horticulturists.
On the other hand, however. it is
shown that the American people are
consuming more and more fruit Of all
kind each year, and Improvement of
methods of preserving them and in
using them as ingredients of all-year
round articles is increasing the de
mand steadily. In addition to this, it
may also be stated, that figures show
that America is now growing fruit for
the whole world and that it is export
ing fruits in enormous quantities each
year
AS was pointed out here today, the
proper marketing and distribution OF
fruit is specialized branch Of trans
portation that has attained great per-
lection in recent years. The refrigerat-
Gi GdI, lllC NOiN SIOt dSC
the refrigerated ship and other fac
tors have enormously increased the
quality and marketing value of the
fruit of America, the biggest fruit
growing country in the world.
Georgia Peach Crop Moving.
The peach crop in Georgia this year
will probably exceed the record crop
of the state and about $1,000 cars will
be shipped, according to the agricul-
tural department OF the Atlanta, Biz
mingham and Atlantic railroad. This
will not take into consideration the
express shipments and it does not in
clude the home consumption OF this
great crop.
The Georgia peach, it was shown,
is fast finding markets in every nook
and corner of the country, and mod
ern shipping facilities make it posi-
bic to send them everywhere in fine
condition, especially the famous varie-
ties ripening from now until the end
of the season. 1t is only the early va
rieties, it was stated, that are hard
to ship satisfactorily to distant points.
During the next few years, grow
ers say, the Georgia peach crop will
be greatly increased and it is predict
ed that within the next FIVE years full
ly 10000 carloads of peaches will be
shipped from the state. The marketing
and handling of this vast quantity Of
fruit could not be accomplished on a
profitable basis without the organiza-
ton OF the Georgia peach growers, it
is stated by officials of the Georgia
department of agriculture.

GEORGIA WOMAN is
FIGHTING GALLOWS
MRS. HUGHES, SENTENCED TO
BE HANGED, SEEKS NEW
TRIAL. THREE ESCAPE.

SiXty-hve years ago Georgia wit
messed its last execution of woman
convicted of murder.
The woman who then paid the SUI
preme penalty was Mrs. Susan Eber-
hardt, in Webster county.
Now the foes of capital punishment
again are modifying to snatch from
the gallows its latest promised vic
tim-Mrs. Ida Hughes, who was con-
.demned to die for Staying her mother
in-law, Mrs. M. c. Hughes. She was
sentenced to be hanged in March, but
motion for a new trial is pending.
Friends seek to have her sentence
commuted to life imprisonment
Three Others Saved. =
In recent years three other women
have been saved from the gallows al
ter they were convicted of murder.
Mrs. Cora Lou Vinson, sentenced
to die for the murder of her husband,
is serving a life sentence through the
mercy of a governor.
Mrs Ollie Justiss, convicted OF
shooting her lover, was found guilty
but drew life sentence instead OF
being executed.
Mrs. Love Rogers, arrested with her
brother-in-la for the murder of her
husband, pleaded guilty to escape the
death sentence. She, too, is serving a
life sentence.
Now the Hughes Case.
Now comes the Hughes case. The
woman cannot explain how she killed
her rnother-in-1aw she saws but if
she did kill her it was in defense OF
her love for her husband. Likely a
Jury will have the opportunity to de-
termine whether this excuse is suff-
cient to save her from the gallows.
Mrs. Hughes was convicted in Full
ton county.

SURVEY SHOWS BIG
HOOKWORM DECREASE
REPORT IS MADE FOR ELEVEN
SOUTHERN STATES, INCLUD-
ING GEORGIA.

In 1910 to 1915 hookworm cam
naipns were conducted by state boards
Of health in eleven southern states
L was found that the highest intec-
ton rate was among rural school emil
dren between E and Is years old. Spe-
cial figures were collected Tor these
ages in 422 counties. Now DR.. w. T.
Tacocks has made a new survey OF
eiehty-one of the Az counties to see
if conditions had improved by l9L3'
More than five hundred school chill
dren have been examined in each
county. oor. -,
dren were examined in the eighty-one
counties. and of these 49,471 were in
fected with hookworm, rate OF oo.l
ner cent. In the 1923 surveys 44,O9O
children were examined, OF whom ~
$50 were infected, giving a rate OF
27.8 per cent. 49,.
The Investigator points out that
while this result is gratifying the I'M
provement probably has been stu
greater. because the survey merel y IN
dicates the rate of infection and not
necessarily the severity. The mice
tons found at present are very slight
as compared with the heavy intesta-
ton seen previously.
The states included in the survey
were Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mlss1sslp-
ri. Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Ten

Regardless of the fact that general
Nv the farmers and their helpers are
busily engaged in gathering crops at
this time the poultry sales at the car
in all towns visited held up well and

belief that the eventual demand will
necessitate a more frequent service to

road, made the trip as usual, and he
was we'll satisfied with the results.
Parrott Was Near Top.

BIGGER CROP THIS YEAR.

With the continuance of present ia
vorable weather conditions the south
Georgia cotton belt will produce a
crop approximately 40 per cent great
err than that of 1923 is the opinion Of
l. A. Downs, president of the Central
OF Georgia railway, who has returned
after a short trip through the territory
of the Central railroad, during which
time he has closely observed condi-
tons.
In commenting on the prospects
for the cotton crop Mr.. Downs said
There is little doubt in my mind
that the cotton crop in this territory
will largely exceed that of last year.
| will not be surprised if the increase
reaches as much as 40 per cent. base
this opinion upon the personal obser-
walton of conditions.
ITO begin with, a large quantity
of fertilizer has been used and the
fields have been we'll prepared, the
farmers are working. White men and
the members of their families are
busy in the fields They themselves
are doing the work that was formerly
left to the colored people who have
left the state in large numbers They
are fighting the boil weevil with meth
DDS that have proved most effective
Intelligent cultivation is backing up
up intelligent preparation. The use of
calcium arsenate is double that of pre-
vious years. The present weather con-
ditions are ideal Reports show in
creased acreage and all the informa-

Worth Remembering

If the people of the United States
wish a plentiful and uninterrupted
supply of gasoline and fuel oils, they
win do we'll to recognize the. one
fundamental fact-the need that
exploration for oil shall be kept up at
all times on scale that will meet
the constantly increasing needs
Production may go up or produc-
ton may go down, but the history
OF the demand in the United States
in the last twenty years is one of
great increase, almost year by year.
Unjustified political agitation
hurts the industry, which results in
reduced oil output and exploration
and higher prices to the consuming
public.
