HUGE QUANTITY MEAT

Georgia Farmers Fail by Huge
Margin to Feed People Dur

ATLANTA, Aug. 25.-( By Asso-
ciated Press -stressing the neces-
sity of producing Georgia's own
meat demands, it is pointed out that
total Of 30,164,846 pounds Of
dry salt meat, 5,015,6G7 pounds oil
sugar cured smoked meat and A.
128,740 pounds of dry salt smoked
meats, making a grand total Of b.
500, 1858 pounds Of side meats
were shipped into this state during
1928 by packing companies, ac-
cording to the report Of State Vet
erinarian DR.. Peter +. Bahnsen On
the meat situation, contained IN
the annual report of the Georgia
Department of Agriculture for 1928
recently issued.
According to Dr.. Bahnsen, this
shows that Georgia has depended
ito large extent, for our meat
supply on packing house products "
Further data compiled by the
State eterinarian, shows that, con
verified into $50 pound hogs, "ai.d
assuming the side meat to average
u per cent Of each hog, it required
2,183,848 hogs, weighing $50
pounds each, to supply this part Ct
our meat bill. 1t would require
each of our 100 counties in the
state to produce an additional 49,
GAG hogs in order to place Georgia
"on a self sustaining basis for side
meats alone" says the report of Dr..
Bahnsen.

HAPRIS ACCUSED
OF BEING KLANSNAN
Hardwick Asserts Opponent is
Member of Imperial Khan
Secret Ku Klux Adjunct

ATLANTA, August 25.-Poli-
ticians here are discussing with in
terest the statement made at Wash
ington on Saturday by Thomas W.
Hardwick that Senator Harris is a
member of the Imperial Khan, +"
which Hardwick declares to be a
secret adjunct of the Ku Klux Khan
organization, whose records of mem
bership are kept locked in Ihe vault
of the imperial palace at Atlanta
and whose members are not enrolled
as members of the local khan in the
communities in which they live.
Hardwick further charged in his
Washington speech that during the
month of June, 1924, the official
organ of the khan at Atlanta, TIE
Searchlight,' announced that great
homecoming demonstration would
be given by that organization N
honor of Senator Harris; that prior
to the democratic national convad-
ton, Harris was mentioning to his
colleagues in Washington with great
pride and complacency this promised
khan homecoming party, but that
after the New York convention and
after a subsistence of the klan's poll
teal strength. Harris has in some
way managed to escape the home
coming party"
Explaining his own position to-
ward the khan, Hardwick declared
his unalterable opposition to the
organization, based upon the follow
ing grounds:
l. Because of the mask.
2. Because it had degenerated into
a secret political society.
3. Because it had disseminated
everywhere the propaganda of rcli-
gious bigotry and intolerance.
4. Because certain elements
sought to indulge in acts of violence
and lawlessness, seeking 10 regulate
the conduct of others outside of the
courts and outside of the laws.
He said these questions had be-
come acute all over the country and
It was necessary for public men to
declare themselves about it; that he
mad done so unequivocally and
tlatly, but that Harris under repeat
ca questioning from himself and
from newspapers in the state had
refused to declare his position with
reference to this matter

YOUNG COUPLE PLANNED
TO BURY CHILD ALIVE

KANSAS CITY, Mo, August Is.
Person 10, and his bride of
three months chose to bury their IS
days old baby alive rather than
face disgrace and social condemna-
ton"
This was the substance of Lo-
ren's confession to the police Sun
day after three men had thwarted
plans to bury the child alive in a
lonely pasture near here.
Last night the young mother,
stricken by remorse and appalled, by
the realization that she and her
husband had planned to smother
their child in a shallow grave,
yearned for the baby.
The baby was fast asleep at the
general hospital.

culated on a basis Of twenty cars

bill for 1928"
'In the face of these facts" con-
tinues the report, sit seems useless
for Georgia farmers to complain
that there is no market for their
hogs, since a very large percentage
of the dry salt meats are consumed
in rural communities. And yet, in
spite of this fact, there are fewer
hogs on Georgia farms today tran
there have been for many years. In
my judgment, our meat bill for
1924 will be materially larger than
at any previous year in our expert
ence."
