INDUCES in Spree of Tears on
Parting With Bandit Couple
TWO NEGRO CONTESTS
FOR COP. CONVENTION
BLACK GEORGIANS ARE OPP
POSED BY LILY WHITES.
MISSISSIPPI BLACKS ROW.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Two con
tests between negro delegates from
the south to the national republican
convention have been announced, and
Others may follow. Henry Lincoln
Johnson, negro leader, is holding his
own in the contest with lily whites for
the supremacy in Georgia. He has
more power than he had in 1920, when
efforts to keep him from being ma
tional committeeman failed He and his
associate delegates we're seated. A SIM
liar fight is raging this year, and he
expects to have his Coolidge delegates
seated The lily whites, headed by
John L. Phillips, now on trial here for
conspiracy to defraud the government,
have opposed Johnson and his faction.
Two delegations are the result.
In Mississippi D. w. Sherrod, negro
doctor, has been elected state chair
man. He has a delegation for Cleve
land, but is opposed by Perry w.
Howard.
After the 1928 election President
Harding and members and officials of
the republican national committee un-
dertook to eliminate the colored dele
gate contests but failed. The reorgan-
lied machinery they set up in Georgia
was never able to Gust Johnson.

PULLMAN SURCHARGES
HELD UNREASONABLE
TRAVELLING PUBLIC MAY BE
RID OF THIS TAX FOR BEN
EFIT OF RAILROADS.

Passenger fare surcharges paid by
pullman travellers to railroads are held
unreasonable and discontinuance of
the practice is recommended in an ex-
aminer's report to the interstate COM
merce commission just made public.
Considering that the railroads are
saving the capital investment in pull
man equipment and other facilities
necessary TO maintain and to an ex-
tent operate the cars, and that most
OF the railroads are receiving substan-
tiai payments out of the charges col
lected for the pullman service proper,
the report says, it is believed that the
time has come when the commission
NAV well eliminate the surcharge.
Investigation into the reasonable
ness of the surcharge rates was insti-
tuted at the request of travellers or
carnations. chambers Of commerce,
Shippers. hotel associations and other
associations.

INFERRED CENTURY AGO AS
e4-YEAR-OLD OAK FALLS.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga.-One Of
the freaks OF the tornado which visited
Lawrenceville and other sections OF
the southeast on April 80, and which
is attracting the attention OF many
people, occurred at the old cemetery
here, where a huge oak tree, 81 inches
in diameter, was blown down.
Roots of the tree had grown deep
into the ground and had encircled the
remains of three people who had prob
ably been buried nearly 100 years ago,
and as the large tree fell to the earth
it brought the skeletons from the
ground and left them fully exposed
to view
The tree is "a years old, according
to the growth circles, and the roots
had grown around the collins, which
had entirely decayed. There is an open
space of the shape and size of the cot
fms. The bodies were five feet beneath
the surface.

Not only will people on the two

POWER FOR FARMS
NOT FAR DISTANT
ELECTRIFICATION WILL BE
ONE OF DEVELOPMENTS OF
THE NEAR FUTURE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-One of the great
est developments of the near future,
in the view of Atlanta electrical en-
gineers will be the identification of
the farms. While cities and industrial
communities have in recent years been
enjoying ample supplies of electricity
for various purposes, II was pointed
out. the farms of the country are in
MANY instances still using oil for
lighting and Old Dobbin for power
purposes.
Only one farm in thirteen on an
average in America now uses electric
itv. figures received here show. indie
pendent electric plants are used on
100000 farms while the number enjoy
ing central station service is 100000.
The great field of 6,500,000 farms and
100000 people is at present almost
untouched in the way OF electrical de-
ve1opment.
The problems of getting electricity
in available voltage to the farm from
the power lines of the country, and at
a cost low enough. to make it profit
able for the farmer to use it, are now
being worked out by a committee Of
experts for the National Electric Light
Association.
A very rapid development is going
on in the matter of producing electric
ity on an extensive scale and trans
porting it over long distances, it was
asserted In this section of the south
the development has been remarkable.
Greater Boon Than Auto.
electricity on the farm will be a
greater boon probably than even the
automobile" said an official of the
Georgia department of agriculture.
Besides improving conditions and
providing power for various farm and
household work it will make possible
a convenient and automatic water
pressure system which in turn will en-
able the farm home to have modern
plumbing and sewerage disposal. This
will improve sanitary conditions, and
particularly should reduce typhoid in
the rural sections. Electrihcation Of
the farm seems to be one of the next
great steps in our economic and So
cial progress, and the prospect that it
may soon be realized is a bright spot
in the future of the country"

G o91R5!GIA FIRST IN
AIllvnaRl "E THFFTS
NEARLY TWICE AS MANY CARS
LOST HERE AS IN ANY OF
EIGHT STATES.

Fully 100 per cent more automobiles
were stolen in Georgia than in any
other southern state during the six
months ending April |, 1924, accord
ing to figures compiled by the Auto
mobile Underwriters Detective bureau.
One hundred and nine thieves were
convicted in Georgia, and the average
sentence was two years plus, while
70 await trial. Only six of a total of
1876 brought to trial were acquitted.
The sentences imposed aggregate 230
years, four months.
Georgia led the southern group with
825 automobiles reported stolen and
$50 recovered. OF the total 422 were
stolen in Atlanta and 265 recovered,
Fords constituted IS per cent of the
total thefts and Al per cent of the re-
coveries.
Thefts and recoveries in the terri
tory covered by the underwriters bu-
reau were apportioned as follows, the
number of thefts being listed first:
Florida, 276-135; Alabama, 125-58;
Arkansas, POLO; Louisiana, 1876;
North Carolina, 1926; Mississippi,
26-11 South Carolina, 1910; Vir-
ginia, 60-32, and outside territory
$40. The total of cars stolen was
1920, and there were 800 recoveries.
For the three months ending the
first of the year, there were 89l thefts
and $50 recoveries, slightly higher
than the total for the three months
ending with March, 1924, when there
were 829 thefts and 545 recoveries.

FIGURES. NINE BILLIONS

The American nation earns $780,

OF $3OOOO,O0O every day, according to
deduction made by the Mechanics

of the national income.
These figures, it was explained, were
arrived at after studying the country.s
economic accomplishments in 1873:
Total income for last year was placed
at $4,000, 100000, representing an in
crease of $5,0O0,000,OOO and $4,000
100000 respectively over 1922 and
1928.
The total savings for 1923 were
$12. 100000, 900, of which amount So
0OO.0O0000 went into automobiles,

OF STATES
is TO RUN INTO DEBT
FORMER GOVERNOR SLATON
THINKS THERE SHOULD BE
MORE ECONOMY.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Hon. John M.
Slaton, former governor OF Georgia, is
in the city today attending a meeting
of the Society of Colonial Wars.
Governor Slaton said to the Press
that the tendency in all the states now
is to run into debt and increase taxa
ton. There is a disposition to multiply
bureaus and commissions. The great
thing today would be to get back to
economical government both state
and national. The situation in Eng
land shows the baneful effect OF high
taxes. The number OF unemployed is
very great, and capital is timid about
embarking upon enterprises which
would give employment to labor.
The great need OF our country IS
character. He put this even above pub
lie education, as important as that IS
The increase of appropriations to pub
lie institutions, the heavy amounts even
asked for by the elemosynary instltu-
tons, all make for higher taxation.
For Economy.
1t will be remembered that Govern
or Slaton one year ago took a strong
stand against new bond issues. He
stated that the increase of government
burdens through interest and sinking
fund would be enormous. The taxing
system would have to be changed with
such a heavy increase of burden on
business that it would be penalized All
that time Governor Slaton said that
he thought the financial prospect was
sufficiently serious to challenge the APP
prehension of every good citizen. If
tax burdens are heavy business men
would be tempted to place their mon
ey in non taxable securities. This
would be a bad sign OF the times. 1t
was even threatened to make the
states vassals Of the general govern
ment with power to levy taxes upon
state and municipal securities.
