Prep Schools Contest Today

Fifteen teams representing as
many secondary schools from ell
sections of the State will, this morn
ing compete for premier honors in
the field of Winter Sports for the
State of Maine. Many of these
teams have already arrived in this
city and while here they are the
guests of the citizens of Augusta.
They are quartered at the Y. M. G.
A. building and are eating at the
Girls Club.
Cots kindly loaned by the Adj
jutant Generals department, together
with blankets furnished by the local
militia companies and brought by the
boys themselves. are used by the
schoolboy contestants who sleep in
the gymnasium.
AT the supper last night at the
Girls Club the boys held an informal
meeting after the meal was finished,
at which the coaches of the various
teams introduced their men. Group
singing under the leadership of Jack
Mahan, physical director at the Y.

work TO get to Augusta because of
the storm and some of their members

taking the train. while Lee Academy
contestants had ridden by team a
matter of ten miles. A number of
teams did not reach the city until
about o'clock as the trains were off
time.
Closely fought contests will be the
rule this year as in the past, but
there is no one who dares 10 hazard
guess as to the possible winner
of the contests. 1t was the opinion of

GEORGIA SENATORS
AND FARM RELIEF

The Washington correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph said that before
leaving Washington, both Georgia
Senators expressed regret that some
suptagle farm legislation was not
passed by Congress. Both Senator'S
supported the Robinson bill, which
was introduced by the Democratic
leader, after consulting with leading
Senate Democrats. This measure
provided an appropriation OF $780,
which might be>increased to $1,000
100000 for marketing of all farm
products, including tobacco and pea
nuts. The Robinson bill had the sup
port of large majority of the
Democrats in the Senate and Senator
George expressed the view that the
bill would have been promptly &C.
copied by the House if the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate could have sue
ceeded in passing it, and that its
passage WOulu nave DIOuSHL iiIlIic-
date and material relief to all farm
ers.
After the defeat of the measure,
the Senators supported the Fess bill,
although they believed the amount
carried in that measure for the mar
keting of farm products to be en-
tirely inadequate. The Fess measure
proposed an appropriation of $780,
900, 900.
Senator Harris asserted Saturday
that the McNary-Haugen bill would
have raised the price of wheat to the
amount of the tariff an increase of
AZ cents, and would have advanced
the cost of living for every Georgian.

vored the House of Republicans,
would have placed tax on every dog

GEORGIA TO GET FUNDS
FOR FOREST PROTECTION

Georgia is one of the 33 states
which will conceive Federal funds to
be spent in preventing forest fires on
State and privately owned land, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture an
nounces through it's office at Atlanta.
The amount to be distributed totals
1907, $40, and will be available this
month This distribution of Federal
funds is being made under authority
of the Clarke McNary forestry act to
those States which maintain forest
protection agencies. Total expendi-
lures by these States, including mon
ey contributed by land owners,
amount to about $3,500,00O year.
However, adequately to protect the
350,000,000 acres of forest land, ex-
elusive of the national forests, To-
Gated in these 33 States would re-
quire about SO, 000,000,000 per an
mum, or less than tire cents an acre,
forestry officials say. Thus the
funds, both State and Federal, avail
able for adequate protection of State
and privately owned forest land equal
about one third of the estimated cost.
Forest fires are costly and the gov
eminent is doing it's part toward pre-
venting them as far as possible. Peo-
pie throughout the sections which ex-
perience such fires, should use due
care in putting out fires and assist
in cutting down the awful waste
which they entail. In the mountain
sections last summer and fall millions
of dollars worth of fine timber was
destroyed by forest fires. In most
cases these fires are believed to have
been caused by carelessness on the
part of tourists or campers who fire.
quent the mountain sections. Other
fires were blamed on moonshine ope-
rations. But many of them could
have been prevented, if care had
been exercised in handling the burn
ing match or cigarette stub or other
means of setting the forest.
Muscogee county and this section
of the Chattahoochee Valley will
come in for a share of this Federal
fund and it will mean a great deal

LYNCHINC STATISTICS
GIVE GA. CLEAN SLATE

A writer In national magazine of
some repute and standing not long
ago referred to Georgia as the "heart
of the lynching belt"
He was not an evilly disposed
writer, moreover; he thought he was
writing constructively-at all events,
he was not writing unkindly.
He was, nevertheless, writing ig-
norantly, and that's a bad thing to
do; it is sort of thing that gave rise
to the expression that shell is paved
with good intentionsW
There is and for very many years
has been no heart of the lynching
belt" such lynching belt as there
ever was long ago became national.
The happy and enheartening
thought today is that lynchings of
late years have steadily decreased
throughout the nation, and thus one
vexing and distressing problem seems
fairly well along the road to solution.
There never was chance that
lynchings would become an estab-
lished institution in America. The
American people are not disposed to
things of that sort.
It is gratifying and encouraging
. that the lynching statistics as COM
piled at Tuskegee Institute-recog-
nized generally as an authority-for
the first half of 1926 give Georgia a
clean slate. Not one lynching oc-

1t is to be hoped that the remain
