Farmers Should Guard
Against Hog Cholera

Atlanta, Ga.-Every precaution
should be taken to prevent hog chol-
era, now reported in some sections of
the country, from reaching Georgia,
and the South, according to agricul-
tura1 agents of the A. B. & A. rail
way, who are now advising the farm
ers on the subject.
Hog cholera, in some of the states,
particularly in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska and other middle western
states, is nthe rampage, claiming
a toll of dead hogs, the railroad agri-
cultural agents state. The ravages
of the disease are also said to reach
extensively into Canada, a country
which ordinarily is considered to be
free from the malady.
While no outbreaks have been re-
ported in Georgia, it was stated, hog
raisers are urged to take all pre-
cautionary measures possible to pre-
vent such a calamity.
A few precautions will help to keep
cholera from the hogs, which are CIV
en- as follows:
"Don't visit your neighbor's hogs
and don't let him visit yours; don't
drive from a public highway to hog
lot; keep your hogs at home and off
the highways and ranges; keep stray
dogs out of the hog lot; furnish hogs
with good food and pure water; iso-
late any hogs you may buy Fl days
before turning into lot with your
hogs; keep in close touch with coun-
ty demonstration agent; if your hogs
get sick call the county agent and
him to find out the trouble"
It was stated that all parties offer
ing hogs for shipment, must first
comply with laws and regulations,
promulgated by the government and
tn estate veterinarian, to prevent the
spread of hog cholera, before the rail-
road agent will accept them.

MAJOR BROWN GIVEN A
LIFE SENTENCE FOR PART
In LYNCHINC WRIGHT

Douglas, Ga.-Coming as a COM
plete surprise to the court and bring
ing his trial to an abrupt end, Major
Brown, outstanding figure of the
twelve defendants charged with muir
der in connection with the lynching
of Dave Wright, entered a plea of
guilty just before noon Wednesday
and was given a sentence of life i'm
prisonment.
Only four jurors had been selected
in the trial of Brown when a confer
ence of defense attorneys and state
prosecutors was held. Their contem-
plated action was in no way suggest
ed, and the announcement that Brown
had entered a plea of guilty to the
charge and had accepted a life SEN
tence came as a jolt to the court
spectators.
Action of the defense in their de-
cision to enter a plea of guilty with
the understanding that the extreme
penalty would not be imposed was
said to have been prompted by the
strong sentiment against the defend
ant in Douglas.
Brown was silent while the SEN
tence was being imposed. The court
made no attempt to lecture him. His
mother and sister were in the court
when the sentence was pronounced,
and broke down.
More Pleas in Prospect
Indications were that the other
eleven defendants being held for
trial in connection with the same
lynching case, would enter pleas of
guilty this afternoon. While this was
not official, it was freely predicted in
court circles following Browns de-
!-eision to plead guilty. Sentences of
ten to twenty years for the defend
ants should they plead guilty were in
prospect.
The defendants in the Wright slay-
ing case are: Major Brown, Archie
Tanner, Robert Bullard, George Lott,
Bill Thigpen, Dan Thigpen, Gaines
Lastinger, Paul Cady, Willie Arnold,
Joe Hutto, Alma Hester, D. E. Lott,
Malcolm Tanner, Charles Adams,
John Strickland, Jack Tanner.

fires, our fire boys met the situation
and saved the property.

Funds Are Raised
For Noted School

Atlanta, Ga.,-Announcement that
more than 100000 had been sub
scribed to the Passie Fenton Ottley
scholarship endowment fund featured
the trustees meeting of the Tallulah
Falls school, famous institution for
mountain children, at the Atlanta
= Women's Club.
A check for $1,000 from the Geor-
gia Railway and Power Company
brought the sum total Ger the $780,
900 mark, which had ben designated
as minimum amount upon which
this educational enterprise could be
launched.
The remarkable rapidity with which
this su mwas subscribed bears testi-
mony to the confidence the general
public feels in the work and worth of
the school. It was recognized as a
tribute to Mrs. Jno. K. Ottley, pres
ident of the board of trustees, in
whose honor the scholarship fund was
named.
Mrs. Boiling Jones, chairman Of
memorials, serice tributes and name
gifts, announced fie perpetual schol-
arships of $4,000 each as follows:
The Passie Fenton Ottley scholar
ship established by John K. Ottley;
Harriet Cordelia Dick Inman schol-
arship, established by Mrs. Morris
Brandon; the Florence H. Brownell

Ida Fitzpatrick Pool, as a serice tri-
butte to Mrs. 2. I. Fitzpatrick, vice
president of the board of trustees.

Much Larger Crops
In All Commodities

Atlanta, Cat will be interest
ing to Georgia farmers to know that
the Federal Reserve bank summary
of agricultural conditions in the sixth
reserve district, covering Georgia,
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tenn
essee and Louisiana, shows that larg-
er crops of corn, wheat, oats and po-
tatoes are indicated this year than
were gathered in 1925. The fact that
the cotton crop also is larger in the
district does not detract from the
economic value of the increase in
food crops, it was pointed out here.
It is a hopeful sign when Southern
farms are found with larger acreages
and larger yields of food crops and
feed crops, according to officials of
the Georgia Department of Agricul-
--ture, for it shows, it was stated,
that the fallacy of all-cotton as a
Southern farm program is being aban-
doned and in it's place is diversified
program that includes tn ethings
needed on the farm and in the farm
homes that the farms can produce.
"The larger food crops produced
in this part of the South this year
will do much to offset any damage to
agricultural prosperity that may be
caused by an overproduction of cot
ton," says a statement of the depart
ment, "The land that can produce its
own food, with surplus to sell out
side buyers need fear no famine and
no continued hard times"

CONGRESS PLANS
 ADJOURNMENT SAT.
Last Minute Scramble For Pet
 Measures Expected

Washington, July l CP-unless plans Of leaders unexpectedly are upset, congress will adjourn at p. m. Saturday, after the customary last minute scramble of members to get action on pet local measures.
 All of the major obstacles to ad- journment appear to have been de- molished, with the sessions farm relief record definitely closed and the bitterly contested rivers and herpors bill given right of way on the senate calendar beginning De- ccmber 14.
 Senate pilots were confident they could steer the final deficiency bill through that chamber in time to place it in the hands of President Coolidge tomorrow night. It was re- ported to the senate yesterday and the way was cleared for its consid- eration today. Several amendments indicated that differences might have to be adjusted with the house, which OIIE llILtu tAG pIII' LuL lIlliF uIl'J was expected on this account.
 Sponsors Of the measure to es- tablish a radio control commission independent of other government agencies, were hopeful that their proposal on which the house has taken action, could be brought to a final vote, but others were doubtful that this could be done. The senate devoted yesterday to it's considera- ton.

PRESS OF ITALY
 BANS SPORTS, ART
Other Restrictions Placed In
 Economy Program

Rome, July P,--From the view point of the average American, ItaIy's slx-page newspaper hence forth will be dry reading. No sport ing. art or literary news and practi- callv no foreign news will be print ed, Stories of trials dealing with crime will be gradually eliminated.
 Papers Limited
 only one newspaper is to be per mitted in each province, outside the large cities. In these organs the po- litical doings of Fascism will be briefly told, and the remainder Of the space will be used to outline things which are being constructed and work which is being carried out.
 The new order of things is in line with the Fascist governments economy plans. Signor Turati, sec retary general of the Fascist party, asserts that personal journalism is doomed. He says Fascism is deter mined to bring out the educational and moral aspects Of the press.
 No More Weeklies
 "Also am determined" Signor Turatu continued, ito destroy the innumerable weeklies, which, al- though dealing in national problems and spreading fundamental Fascist ideas, represent solely the personal acidity and literary impatience of their editors. Some Of our comrades already have set good example by sufsocating their own creatures.
 The secretary general remarked that the Fascist party might have other surprises to offer in this field.
 The restrictions placed upon newspapers in Italy are in line with the intention of Premier Mussolini and the Fascist government to strengthen the value of the lire and to wipe out the deficit of eight bill lion lire in Italy's trade balance last year.
 Mussolini says that in all the bat ties the Fascist regime has had to fight, victory has perched upon its banner and that in the new fight there again must be victory.
 Mussollni's Statement
 There is one battle before me which I intend to win-a battle for the economic restoration of Italy, said Mussolini to the Rome cor respondent of the London Daily Mail. T am now giving my earnest attention to the restoration of the balance of trade and the stabiliza- ton of the lire"
 The premier added that the reme- dies to be used might involve hard ship to some but that 1t was better that these should suffer than the whole nation. He had been assured that the workers were ready to re- main on duty an extra hour without pay, realizing it was to their inter est 10 help bring back prosperity. They knew he had set an example
