Profit In Diaries
Seen In Georgia
FOLLOWS THE
COW" is SLOGAN NOW IN
FARMING CIRCLES; GEORGIA
BUYS OUTSIDE.

Atlanta. Ga.-That prosperity
Follows the Cow provided that COW
is of the dairying class has long been
a proven fact, according to Georgia
asriculturists, but never has the OPP
portunity been offered as is now pre-
sented the farmers of the state to
enter the daiirying business on such
scales, said officials of the Georgia
Department of Agriculture, as will
permit the shipment of their products
to the markets of Georgia, Florida
and other neighboring states. This
state, it was pointed out here today,
is sending millions of dollars year
out of the state for dairy products
because the dairymen of the state are
absolutely unable to meet the de-
mand. 7
If the dairymen of Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin and other PARKWAY states
can ship their products to Georgia at
a profit; if they can produce this
product at a profit wher ethe win
tiers are long and the necessity for
housing is almost constant, agrlcul-
turists here claim, then Georgia dairy
men, with the market almost at his
door and with a good range prac-
tically the year round, should be able,
it was asserted, to produce a profit
double that of the northern dairy
man.
"Georgia's population is increasing
every year and the demand for milk
and butter is increasing correspond
ingly fast" said an official of the
state agricultural department. you
only have to travel through the lead
ing dairy sections of the country to
find what the dairy cow has meant to
those farmers and their families.
There is every evidence of prosperity.

2DOOMED YOUTHS
PLACED IN DEATH
CELL L. AT 7 COLUMBUS : u
HINT OF PLEA OF ''IMPRISON-
MENT INSANITY" AT LAST
MINUTE FOR BLOODWORTH
AND JONES NOT VERIFIED.

Columbus, Ga, January 27.-Wll-
lie Jones and Gervis Bloodworth, sem
fenced to be hanged here Friday for
the confessed Staying of Howard F..
Underwood in 1928, were transferred
to the death cell of the Muscogee

was announced today.
Shortly after they were placed in
the cell, relative of Jones told the
Youths, "a lot of things can happen
between now and Friday, so don't be
discouraged"
Homer Beeland, defense attorney,
still refused to reveal his last minute
plans to save the two boys today, but
it was rumored in Columbus that a
petition might be presented, pleading
Imprisonment insanity. Mr.. Beeland
declined to verify this report.

COST OF CURIOSITY
PUT IN FIGURES

Atlanta, Ga.-Here's a little
news item about the cost of
curiosity, furnished by one who
keeps line on state and nat
ional "probes" or Investigations.
1t cost the people of the
United States $215,2s3 during
the last fiscal year for the
United States Senate to crafty
it's curiosity. That is the amount
which was spent for investiga-
lions and hearings between July
1, 1924, and April "a, 1925. In
vestigations of the internal
revenue bureau were the most
costly.
AS matter of fact, however,
this figure is not excessive, 1t
is claimed here, if the investl-
cations produced the desired re-
suits. The business of the
United States totals many mil
lions a year and the investiga-
tions may be considered as a
sort of audit of tt. vest eX-
penditures and may .,ds be not
unreasonable.

CORONER'S JURY
RENDERS VERDICT
IN INVESTIGATION OF BILLY
MORGAN'S DEATH BY PISTOL
SHOT AT HIS HOME EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING.

Coroner T. |. Griffin and jury
consisting of S.. E. Burns, Foreman;
Roy C. Adams, H. C. Arlington, H.
A. Mathis, J. J. 'Pickeren and l. w.
Daniel investigated the mysterious
death of Billy Morgan last Sunday.
After personally viewing the body
of the dead boy in the rear of his
late residence at 81 w. Central Ave-,
where it was discovered by neighbors
about 1000 a. M, perhaps ten hours
after the shot was fired that caused
the death, the jury convened in the
office of DR.. H. A. Mathis and sub
poenaed the witnesses, young people
who had accompanied him to the
basket ball game at Ashburn Satur-
day night. The evidence secured dis
closed the fact that he had gone to
Ashburn with the local basketball
team, being accompanied in a rented
car, for which Morgan paid the rent
al, $15.85, according to the testimony
of the manager of the concern, j. C.
McSwan. Ryal Moore, a school
mate, the last to have seen him alive,
testified that he left him at the en-
trance to the Lee-Grant Hotel, after
having gone with the deceased to the
u Drive 1t Garage to deliver the car.
That the boy was in good spirits and
had been so the entire evening which
he spent in his company.
James Hayes, another of the boys
who rode to Ashburn and back in the
same car, also testified to his normal
mental condition and the enjoyment
he seemed to get on the trip, and
Misses Upha Turner and Opal Thorn
ton, who were with Misses Rebecca
Kirkland and Doris Watkins, had at
tended the basketball game with the.
young men, also testified that Nor
gan was in the best of spirits during
the entire evening, all of them tes-
tifying that the boy had no pistol on
the trip, so far as they could tell.
VIM. Troupe, uncle of the deceased,
with whom he made his home, testi-
fled that Billy had been given permits
sion to attend the game at Ashburn
and that when he failed to return by
eleven he had gone to the Lee-Grant
Hotel to inquire if Ryal Moore, whom
he knew had gone to Ashburn with
Billy, had returned. Upon learning
that Moore had not yet arrived,
Troupe returned to his home, block
away from the hotel and retired for
the night, Mrs. Troupe keeping vigil
the entire night, as the boy failed to
make his appearance. On Sunday
morning, Troupe testified, he again
went to the hotel to learn if Billy
perhaps had spent the night with
Moore at the hotel but was informed
that Billy had left Moore at the en-
trance of the hotel about 1900
o'clock the night before. About ten
a. m. lady living next door to the
family discovered the body of the boy
lying flat on it's back in the rear Of
his home. Investigation showed that
he died during the night from =
