holders, and other plum-sucking devices
holding public offices, whether
located in their own precinct, or elsewhere,
to puy their poll tax on or be-*
fore the day they assume the jobs
they now hold or may hereafter hold,
and thus give the government which
supports them some money to help
defray necessary expenses elsewhere.
This law will bring into the treasury
the sum of 2d,456,760 dollar*, as
there arc that many political jobs in
existence in the United States ex
elusive of congressmen and senators,
whom we arc informed, are more or
less self-supporting.
Hill No. 3,?Requiring all farmers
now residing in cities, towns and

years unless the same is planted in
Wall atreet where the price of cotton
is fixed. Forcing all book agents, installment

an opportunity to escape from their

such positions as U. S. Senator, congressman,
federal judge, cabinet
gravy trains, andsoforth, and making
it a sin and a crime punishable by

than 75 dollars (cash, for his vote,
and thus aid the helpless farmer and
laborer, not bricklayers, paperhangors,
plasterers, garage repair men
1 and plumbers) to live a semi-decent
' life while going to and from over this
down trodden earth of ours, now so
sorely affected by sun spots and
speculators.
The biggest social function for the
year was the annual New Year's reception
given by President and Mrs.
Coolidge last Saturday. The reception
lasted practically all day.

K The
children were returning from

them not to try to cross the creek
until he got there, but for some reason
the children started across.
Latimer was not in sight of the
ford when the children started across.
When he got to the ford, all that
could be seen was the buggy ovcr,
turned in mid-stream, and the horse
struggling against the current. The
| children had been washed downstream.

UNCOVKR8 GIGANTIC SWINDLE
Oklahoma Lad Telia Pathetic Story of
How lie Waa Defrauded
Atlanta, Jan. 24.?Th irteenr yearold
George W. demons, a farmer boy
of Coweta, Okla., told a federal gran]
Jury bore today how he labored under
a blistering huij in an Oklahoma coll
ton field to make enough money for
a Christmas present for his mother
#nd father and how he was cheated
of his savings when he answered *newspaper
advertisement offering iiOO
oranges for $3 and failed to receive
them.
He testified with 37 other witnesses
from 15 states agaihst !. I). Gaines
and 1). W. Nichols, two of three alleged
perpetrators of a- nation-wide
farm products swindle, who were indicted
jointly later in the day on 37
counts charging use of the mails to
defraud. /
<
With J. G. Grimes, an inmate of an ?
Augusta. hospital, the two men, held |
here In default of bond, also are accused
in superior court indictments
of cheating and swindling and larceny
in connection with widespread
newspaper advertising of alleged fictitious
products. These, the authorities
charge, never were delivered after
orders accompanied by advance
payment had been received from per
sons throughout the country.
Young demons told the grand
jurors that he earned $3.40 in the }t
cotton fields, and thinking he saw \
a chance to increase his earnings and j
thus remember his parents handsome- j
ly at Christmas, sent $3 of his little
hoard with an order for the oranges.
Ho intended, he said, to sell them at
a small profit. A
He made anxious inquiries about n
his order when the oranges failed to c(
arrive, and when he was told by the
authorities that his money apparently
was lost, he wrote the United States
district attorney here asking that he .
be allowed to testify. The govern- Cj
ment paid his expenses here and f(
court attaches . apd ot!her witnesses
made up a fund much larger than his tj
lost savings to see him through his
trip. -v, r,
The three men are charged with g
having operated a mail order scheme, ?
offering oranges, chickens, honey f
and grain at sub-market prices. They
were said to have advertised their
wares as products of Acme farms, XI
Busy Bee Apiary, Gaines Seed com- j
pany, James Hatcheries and other n
alleged fictitious concerns, and netting
a profit of more than a million
dollars in six months. vi
.Victims of the alleged swindle from s<
North Carolina, South Carolina, Miss- $i
_
sslppi, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, J
irginia New York, Oklahoma, Ohio,
ouisiana, Indiana, Colorado and New
orsey were amonjj the witnesses who
jstified today.
Federal officials said a separate irtictment
will be souKht for Grimes.
11 are scheduled to go to trial next
lonth in Fulton county superior
jurt.

iur years, according to a compila- i
on of figures made in the offic6--of I
