ANDERSON is OUT;
LIBEL SUIT is HINTED
HOLDER SAYS CASE WILL
AGAIN BE ROWN INTO
COURTS" WON'T REPLY.

Governor Walker has accepted w.
T. Anderson's resignation as mem
Der of the state highway commission,
but has not appointed successor. In
again rendering his resignation Mr..
Anderson reiterated his charges of in
waste and alteration OF
public records preferred by him
against Chairman Holder.
Holder Hints at Libel
In refusing to reply to Aiderson's
charges Holder explained that he was
acting upon advice OF his attorneys.
This entire matter between Ander-
son and myself has been more OF a
court fight than anything else, said
Holder, and in view OF the fact that
the case will probably again be thrown
into the courts before it is over | feel
that | ought to follow the advice OF
counsel in all details"
While Holder did not intimate on
what grounds the controversy might
again "be thrown into the courts" it
has been freely predicted in capital
circles that suit for libel would ultl-
mate1y be filed against Anderson by
the highway chairman. Anderson in
his letter of resignation stated that he
the audit by State Auditor
Sam ]. Slate would criticize Holder
for waste in the department"
Slate Didn't Say It.
Referring to this statement, Auditor
Slate denied that he had given out any
advance information as to findings in
his audit of the department.
Il am, of course, not responsible for
anything Mr.. Anderson may say, said
Mr.. Slate, but, of course, | have not
given out any advance information
about my audit, either criticizing the
chairman or generating him OF
blame"

Georgia Must Stop Soaking Taxpayers
By Frank Weldon.

There's deliberate socialist-bolshev-
ist movement in this country to con-
hscate property through income and
inheritance taxes A Newman citizen
writes me that while he was in New
England early in June a cotton manu-
facturer there told him that he is sell
ing his machinery and intends to tear
down his mill buildings because taxes
are taking all his earnings and are
eating up his capital There are thous-
ands of similar cases in the north and
middle west.
These people are dissatisfied. They
want to move. Ii we offer them pro-
lection from confscation they will
come to Georgia in droves Let US
profit by the situation. Abolish the
grave yard" tax, declare against a
state income tax for at least Is or 80
years and Georgia will have an I'M
mense inpouring OF new citizens, new
wealth, new industries Thousands will
come to buy our idle lands.
On the other hand, if we keep our
inheritance tax and impose an income
tax we will stop new capital from
coming here and we will drive away
much that we have.
Some citizens who draw their sala-
ries from the taxpayers may deny this.
They are like the man who, seeing a
bumped back camel for the first time,
declared there amt no SIGH animal
He did not believe his own eyes.
some people will deny chat
settlers and wealth are pouring into
Florida.
Certain Georgians want to increase
The inheritance tax and impose an in
come tax. They mean well, but they
would destroy the state.
Others want to declare against both
axes-just as our neighbor has done
attract capital and build up Georgia.
Cut-over lands in Florida are selling
rom 500 to $4,000 an acre. Georgia
will miss a wonderful opportunity il
she fails to profit by her neighbours
Unless we amend our laws

chance in two years and by that time

Discusses Improvements
In Transportation ABILITIES
CentraTs President Says Road Will
Continue High Standard of Service.


An interesting account of the man
ner in which continual improvement
must be made in transportation plant
facilities and equipment is given by
L. A. Downs, president of the Central
of Georgia Railway Company.
Mr.. Downs points out that the pub
lie demands modern steel equipment
on passenger trains; the construction
OF new depots, on-time operation OF
trains with fast schedules. He says
that all of these things demand the
expenditure OF large sums OF money
annually, and that if the expectations
Of the public are to be met the rail-
roads must be permitted to earn such
return as will attract investors. He
SAYS new capital must be secured and
capital cannot be coerced and can on
ly be attracted by assurance of reason
able dividends and OF safe investments.
He declares that the Central OF
Georgia does not consider the travel
ing public unreasonable in anticipating
a high standard service, but hopes to
continue to live up to the expectations
of its patrons even in the face Of de-
creasing passenger traffic.
He says that if the railroads are to
continue to supply transportation OF
the type that the public expects they
in turn must receive such rates and
must be accorded such treatment by
the various regulatory agencies inter
preting public policy as to secure the
flow of new capital upon which the
future OF the railways depends.

SWEETWOOD TELLS
OF HIS PRISON LIFE
MANICURED GROUNDS AND
TENNIS COURTS AT ALLAN
ia. REPUTED WEALTHY.

ATLANTA, Ga,-Morris Sweet
wood convicted OF liquor law viola
ton in New York, was the chief wit
ness for the defense in the trial
in federal court here OF L. J. Fletcher
former deputy warden, and Thomas F.
HAYDEN. former chaplain OF the Allan
ia federal prison. Defendants are
charged with conspiring to accept
brides from wealthy prisoners.
Sweetwood. inmate of the peniten-
tiary here, and reputed to be wealthy,
testified that he paid $500 to Mrs. K.
K. Walthall, mentioned in earlier tes-
timony, as go-between. and expect
ed to get special privileges in the prls-
on for his money.
He said he did not know if the
money was intended for Fletcher or
ever reached Fletcher The first pro-
posal to purchase privileges, he SAID
was made to him and to Mamie KesS-
Ter, another prisoner from New YORK
The witness was>asked II he recelN-
ed any privileges. He replied;
well, Kessler was riding around
outside the walls within three weeks
after we got here and it took me nine
and hall months to get outside: You
can figure it out for yourself"
Further questioning developed that
Sweetwood, who admitted he never
had any education, had been assigned
to work in the athletic field, in the
library and in the poultry yard. The
coatless iurymen frequently laughed
heartily at his retort to cross-exami-
nation. He was asked as to his duties
on the athletic field.
"Oh, | manicured the grounds, the
tennis courts, and SO forth" he re
piled.
Government counsel sought to show
that he had received special bathing
privileges. Sweetwood protested he
had received no social privilege, ex-
claiming: "Why take three baths
every day now-whether | need 'em
or not"

years expression, music and agricul-

MAKE POULTRY PROFITABLE
BY CULLTNG NON-PRODUCERS
County Agent Gibson Tells How Non
Layers Can Be Detected.

Many poultry flocks could be made
very profitable if definite system of
culling was practiced By discarding
the poor producers a losing flock can
often be turned into a paying one.
The general idea that culling should
be done only once a year is wrong,
says A. E Gibson, county agent Poor
producers can be removed better and
more accurately during July, August,
September and October, he states, and
If the first culling has not yet been
made it should be done now
Hens stop laying this time of the
year for one of two reasons. s IS
Mr.. Gibson. Either they lack the
vigor and stamina to lay through the
entire season, or because of poor
breeding they cannot stand up under
continuous heavy production. Conse-
quently, the birds grow thin, stop lay
ing and mott.
"A non-layer usually can be detect
ed by the following signs and symp-
toms: Head, fat and rough; eye. dull
and sunken; comb, dried, small and
shrunken; span. narrow; shanks, yell
low and fat; beak, yellow; eye-ring,
yellow; vent, small yellow, dry and
puckered."
Best results from culling are OBJ
tanned from the flock that has been
given proper care, feed and mango
ment.
