FARMERS FINANCIAL EMERGING DIFFICULTIES FROM 1
hog situation seem to mean more
than an even chance for higher
hog prices.
u A drop in hog production
might play some part in the cat
tle situation. The country. is ap
parently still "long” on cattle.
The run of beef stock to market
is heavier than last fall and it is
going to slaughter rather than to
feed lots. Cattle raisers probably
are now in the most distressed
position of any major group of
producers.
"On the whole, the season is evi
dence of pretty good adjustment
in agricultural production. n
BEER MON OF
CHIM KILLED
IN FLORIST
Chicago, Nov. 11.—Dion O’Ban
nion, notorious Chicago gangster
and often termed “King of the
beer runners,” answered Gang
land’s last summons yesterday,
when, amid the quiet respectability
of his florist shop, he was shot
and killed by three identified men.
Three Brothers Surrender.
Three Miller brothers, Herschie,
/
Max and David, all sworn enemies
of O’Bannion, are under arrest.
They surrendered voluntarily.
O’Bannion was working among
his plants and blooms in his north
side shop shortly before noon when
three men entered.
In the rear of the place was
William Critchfield, negro porter,
and in an anteroom Victor Young,
manager, and Vincent Galvin,
bookkeeper.
Falls in Bed ol Roses.
O’Bannion greeted his callers
with “Hello, boys! ft
Then, according to Critchfield,
who was taken into custody to
night for questioning, the four
walked over to a corner of the
room and conversed in low under
tones. This continued only a min
ute, being cut short hy the simul
taneous firing of three revolvers.
O’Bannion fell over into a bed
of roses, where the porter and the
other two employes found him
dead.
Police Scent Feud.
The trio fled. running two or
three blocks to a waiting automo
bile.
The agricultural story lor 1924
is that fanners have put their
productive house in order and
have achieved the payment of
considerable debt, declares the
United States department of ag
riculture in a report to the Geor
gia State College of Agriculture.}
The production season is prac
tically ended.
Grain is threshed, silos are fill
ed, cotton ginning is well along,
and hay preesers are busy.
The early movement of cotton
to market has been heavy.
Many corn growers in the west
are struggling with the problems
of soft corn.
Potatoes, which is one of the
chief money crops In the east, are
turning out large yields but meet
ing a disappointing market. This
comes disconragingly on top of
the depression in the eastern dai
ry industry.
“There are apparently fewer
hogs in sight for next year than
any time siace 1920. The com
situation indicates lighter weight
hogs, and the trend of hog pro
duction in Europe is about the
same as here. All factors in the
GEORGIA PLANTER
IS FOUND DEAD
OF PISTOL WOUND
Tallapoosa, Nov. 11.—A bullet
hole in his left breast and a pis
tol clasped in his right hand led
officers to believe that Dave Phil
lips, 30, farmer, of Waco, had
ended his own life when his body
was found in his home Monday
afternoon.
He had aroused attention by
strange actions during the last
week, and had been under the
care of physicians and friends for
several days.

RAILROAD PLANS
SEMRS SOUTH
An advertisihg plan under the
provisions of which the Central
of Georgia railway will co-operate
in securing desirable settlers for
farm lands in eGorgia and Ala
bama is announced by President
L. A. Downs in an interesting
statement published today.
Many Advantages.
Mr. Downs points out that the
South’s undeniable advantages of
long growing seasons, ample rain
fall, mild winters, crop variety
and low priced lands appeal to
many farmers residing in other
sections.
He believes that the five essen
tial requirements to attract set
tlers are farms capable of profit
able crop production, reasonably
priced, of a workable size, for
sale upon favorable terms and
with modern Improvements.
The Central of Georgia is will
ing to advertise such farms in
publications'which are read by the
class of home seekers desired, and
to prepare and mail pamphlets
which will set forth the advan
tages of this section for home
seekers, provided that the land
owners, real estate agent, com
mercial organizations and others
interested, will offer for sale a
total of not less than 200 farms
located along the lines of the
Central of Georgia railway and
within eight miles of a Central
station.
\
40 to 200 Acres.
It is suggested that the farms
should range in size from 40 to
200 acres; should be under defi
nite option, running until April
30, 1925; that there should be not
less than 10 such places in each
community,, and that the terms of
sale should require not more than
one-fifth cash as an initial pay
ment with balance in 15 or more
installments, at a fair rate of in
terest.
It is further suggested that
suitable improvements or some
definite arrangements to finance
the construction of buildings
should be offered and that at
least one-third to one-half of the
land should be cleared and ready
for cultivation.
Not Unreasonable.
Local bankers, who are financ
ing the Griffin and Spalding
County Boys’ Cotton Club, Coun
ty Agent Bennett, under whose
direction the boys have worked,
and business men in general urge
everybody in the city and county
to attend the cotton sale here
Saturday, and aid the boys in
securing high prices for their
staple.
Following is the list of names
of the boys composing the club:

In announcing the readiness of
the railroad to take the lead in
advertising such offerings, Mr.
Downs says: “The Central of
Georgia believes, in the light of
past experience, that these re
quirements are not unreasonable.
We know that this section pos
sesses productive land which can
he bought for prices which are
relatively low when compared
with those in other sections which
are successful in attracting home
seekers. We believe that the
problem which must be solved is
to offer the lands in such a way
as will give desirable settlers a
real opportunity to buy. tr
Those interested in taking ad
vantage of the Central’s offer
should write to J. F. Jackson,
general agricultural agent of the
railroad, at Savannah, Georgia,
It is believed that many com
munities can easily qualify with
the conditions set forth, and that
definite progress will follow the
railroad’s initiative.
