WARREN FULLER GETS
FIRST OPEN COTTON
Negro Chopper on Farm of G.
w. Riley, Has Fine, Well Poi
soned Crop This Year

George Riley brought into The
Thnes-Recorder office Friday the
first open Doll of cotton reported
from the county.
This cotton came off the farm Of
Warren Fuller, negro cropper on
Mr.. Riley's farm.
Warren Fuller has a good crop,
Mr.. Riley said, sit is clean and is
opening fast. He has worked in
dustriously and poisoned consistent
ly.
"Old Warren never poisoned until
this year." continued Mr.. Riley. "He
believed that everything was sent to
this world for some good purpose,
He believed that God sent the boil
weevil and for that reason Warren
simply would not use poison"
One day this year Warren Fuller
heard Dr.. DeLoach when he spoke
to the negroes. He and DR.. DeLoach
had it out. With the Bible between
them, DR.. DeLoach convinced War
rem that the Lord intended man
should earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow, that the boil weevil, Ike
rats, snakes and sniders must be
exterminated or they would take the
land from man.
Once Old. Warren was convinced
that it was right for him to use poi
son, he used it and used it effec-
lively. Results; Warren Fuller
brings in the first open boll Of cot
ton seen by the Times-Recorder.

ATLANTA, July 26.-Herschel
H. Elders, candidate for governor,
today issued his statement of prin-
ciples or platform upon which he
will make the race in opposition to
Governor Walker. In this state
ment Elders sets forth in detail his
position upon a number of issues
being agitated at this time in
Georgia.
Reduced taxation, no more bonds
and fewer political jobs, with no
income tax upon the assertion that
wealth needs rest" are salient
features in the platform. Other
paragraphs set forth that county
officers in the centers Of popula
ton should be put on salary basis,
though the fee system would be
continued in the so-called country
counties, and fewer courts should
be sufficient to transact the bust
ness of the state. Permanent
roads must be built in Georgia,

ing laws provide sufficient revenue
for road building purposes, the
opinion of Elders.
The text of the platform is as
follows:
Ninety per cent. of our people
must be relieved from tax burdens
and our taxing system must be stab

into our State. Georgia must have
better and brighter day. Her re-

Police Sergeant Who Told of

By Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 20.
Insinuating that t h e
state S testimony which
credited Nathan Leopol,
Jr., with a desire to
guilty before a
friendly judge was a
fabrication, Clarence
barrow, chief counsel
for Leopold and Richard
Loeb, struck a hard
blow today at this evil
dence. 1t is the first time
since the boys pleaded
guilty to the kidnapping
and murder Of Robert
Franks that the counsel
has challenged the truth
of any material fact
brought out of the state
witnesses.
The detective sergeant was stub
bornly cross-examined by Darrov
as to details of>the testimony.
At Fridays late session Detec-
tive Sergeant Cortland, who also
participated in the arrest and GUS
tody Of Leopold after mis- comics
sion, gave an interesting insight m
to the philosophy Of the yorrg
slayer by relating some Of Leopolds
conversation with him.
u asked him what kind Of a de-
Tense he was going to put up, said
the officer. HE said: oh, that
viii depend on my father and the
lawyers. suppose | can eitiec
plead not guilty before jury and
get hanged, Or plead guilty before
a friendly judge and get life inn
prisonment."
81 asked him, continued Gort-
land, "whether he didn't feel sorry
for that poor little Franks boy, and
he said he didn't.
Il asked him if he didn't feel
sorry for the boys family, and he
said: I don't give a damn il they
all croak this minute"
Leopold's face flushed brick red
at this, but he said nothing.
Loeb turned and looked at him
curiously.
81 asked him # he had any early
religious training" said Cortland,
and he said yes that he had gone
Co Sunday school and that UP to the
age of 8 he had had conscience
drilled into him, but that after ne
was s he drilled it all out again
"He said to me, my crime wasn't
in killing Franks. My crime was in
getting caught
leopold also told me that in
my code, murder is no crime. !"
