coming from different sections of
Georgia and other states.

houses, and many were the favorable
comments on the good roads in the
county.

county for any one crop, but the best
all-round county for a large variety
of crops. Others boast of being the
pecan center of the world, the mel

Interesting Chain Made
 for New Radio Invention

BERLIN, Feb. 16.-An instrument called the wireless ticker aroused in terest at the recent Berlin radio eX- position which incidentally drew some 100000 visitors during the two weeks it was open.
 This ticker is the invention of an Italian, Maurice Compare. He calls it the Compare secret wireless system. By it, he declares, the receiving sta tion gets on a tape the message as it is sent into the air by it's originator. It is a method of direct sending and direct printing of wireless messages without code of any sort, though at the same time it is said to insure se- crecy. The transmitter includes a typewriting machine, resembling the ordinary typewriter, an apparatus called combiner, which can produce numberless different combinations of frequencies and transmit them to numberless stations, separately and secretly, and an ordinary wave gener- ator. The receiving machine includes wave receiver which is connected with a so-called resonator, and again connected with typing apparatus.

LAWS ODD CONFLICT DERIVES WOMEN OF
 CITIZENSHIP STATUS

LONDON, Feb. 17.-There is a steadily growing group of women liv- ing in England who are women with out a country. They are former Englishwomen whom their govern ment disowns on their marriage to a citizen of the United States and whom the United States refuses to recog- nize as citizens since the enactment of the bill forcing foreign women foreign citizenship unless naturalized in America
 At the time the bill was enacted the number of English women mar ried 10 Aericans in England was very small and little notice was taken of the rarfships forced upon them. Now these nationally outcast women in England number about 5000 and their predicament is constantly being prot to the notice of the British govern ment and the United States consular authorities in England.
 Neither the government nor the consul will grant passports to these women although requests are made daily for this privilege. The Brit ish government, according to their law, believes that the woman becomes an American citizen on marriage and therefore refuses passport facilities. The American consuls have relented to the extent of issuing letters ex- plaining that the person cited is mar ried to an American and although technically not an American citizen, requesting that passport privileges be cept any responsibility, however, and it is entirely on the suffrage of fore ign governments that these women are allowed to enter foreign coun- tries The letter is required to be vised as passports, but even despite this precaution, many holders have been refused admission to European countries, particularly in the Balkan states.
 Several attempts to have the mat ter satisfactorily settled have been made by Anglo-American organiza- tions in England but just now there is no disposition on the part of either government to change its laws. The last English government considered the question and went so far as to agree to place the matter before par liament, but the present Conservative government is not taking any steps in that direction.
 Most of the women affected have no opportunity of residing in the U. s. for the year required to obtain American citizenship and it is for this class that an appeal will shortly be made by an American women's organ ization in London to the American government codify the existing laws so as to allow a declaration of in- tent" to be substituted for the resi- dential period in America.
 The number of these women with out country is increasing at the rate of about five hundred a year.

Kentucky Out To Stop Tongues Given To Gossip

FRANKFORT, Feb. 17.-With the announced purpose of curbing the ma licious wagging of tongues, the Ken
 lucky anti-gossip law is being invoked and is securing convictions.
 Browning upon the repeating or scattering of false rumors or reports of slanderous or harmful nature, it places a $1O to s1OO fine or ten to fifty days imprisonment, or both, as
 punishment.
 The gossiper is deemed guilty un- less he is able to show to the satis-
 faction of a judge or jury that he is carefully investigated the source of the bandied remarks, and proved that they had reasonable grounds. To make available proper defense, the gossiper must furnish for the public court record "the name or the names of the person or persons fur. nishing information upon which the rumor was based"
 The law laid idle in the bound acts of the last general assembly until re- gently at Owensboro woman was fined ten dollars for remarks linking policemen, alleged bribes, and boot. leg cases. The latest case at Padu- cah began when a warrant, charging Ia councilman with gossiping that he had seen the name of county judge on the Ku Klux Klan roster, was sworn out.
 Gossip detrimental to the charac- ter or standing of a private citizen or officer or candidate for office was made a misdemeanor when Governor
 Fields signed his approval to the measure after State Senator H. L. Nc
 Elroy, Lebanon, Ky, secured legisla- tive passage without trouble.

NAUGHTY GEORGIANs BOW WITH
 DEFIANCE TO BOIsHEvIST RULE

TELLS, Georgia. Dec. 26. (AP)-Three years of Bolshevik rule in Georgia seems to have had no other effect than to increase the Georgian peoples desire for independence. Although in some re- spects Moscows domination has brought benefits to the little mountain country. notably in the di- rection of peace and security. Georgia appears to be suffering from the same economic depression which affects the whole of Russia.
 Under the stimulus of the Mensheviks or so- cial Democrats, who a potent element in Geor- gian politics. large portion of the people is still clamoring for a return of the independence which Georgia lost to the Bolsheviks it it's heroic strug gle of 1921. That the Soviet regards the situ aton as serious is shown by the fact that it has more than 1000 agents in This who repress all tendencies at revolution. The recent uprising of the Menshovks in the town of Tchiatouri, where the manganese fields located, suppressed only with much dfaculty and bloodshed. Several hundred Georgians executed in reprisal for this uprising.
 The Georgians, from the remotest times, have been found to he proud and defent liberty-lov- ing people, and they would resent dictation from European state quite as much from the Bolshe- viks. They struggled galantly for half century against conquests by the czars of Russia and cap

 The manganese industry. fruit growing and wine production, which are Georgia's chief of wealth, have suffered seriously since the advent of the Communists to power.
