COMMISSION FIXES NATURAL GAS RATE FORSYTH AMONG SEVERAL CIT IES IN THIS SECTION TO HAVE GAS BY NOV. 1 AT SAME RATE AS ATLANA CONSUMERS. By November 1, several Georgia cities, including Barnesville, Calhoun, Cedartown, Forsyth, Milledgeville, Newnan, Rockmart and Thomaston, will have natural gas service at the same rate enjoyed by consumers in the city of Atlanta, according to an nouncement Saturday by the Georgia Public Service Commission. The net rate in these cities will be $1.40 for the first thousand cubic feet; $1.20 for the second thousand; 95 cents for the third thousand, and 75 cents per thousand for all over 5,000 cubic feet. There also is a ser vice charge of $1 per month and all bills are subject to a discount of 10 cents per thousand cubic feet if paid within ten days after presentation. The net rate quoted here, however, is not subject to the discount. The Public Service Commission ap proved this rate schedule submitted by the Georgia Natural Gas Corpor ation, which is now laying mains be tween Atlanta and Macon, employing a force of about 600 workmen. “This same company is seeking franchises throughout the state,” the commission announcement stated, “and where more distantly removed from the immediate territory travers ed by the main bringing natural gas from the Monroe, La., field, will, un til natural gas can be carried to such removed cities, install a butane gas service. “That is, just as fast as the work can be done, where desired, and a I franchise is given, gas will be made “tvMiable throughout the state of Georgia within the next three years. The butane system of gas is a new departure in the manufacture of arti ficial gas, but is a proven success and will soon be in use in many points in Georgia.” SHERIFF BITTICK BRINGS IN THREE FORSYTH FISHERMEN It is very frequently true that fish ermen hit the home trail minus a lot of the optimism and hope which cheered them on their outward jour ney. There may even be a variation in their modes of travel, depending upon the age and whims of the Ford which they patronize. It thus comes to pass that there are sadder features connected with the angler’s art than the customary failure to supply the home with fish. That variety which spices the lives of fishermen was abundant in the experience of three Forsyth citizens who came back empty handed from the inviting environment of Phina zee’s Basin Tuesday night. On the re turn journey, a merchant, a banker and a fellow who works in a newspa per office when he is not fishing, filled to its capacitly a yellow and blue spot ted Ford coupe which had long since reached its maturity. All went as merrily as a barrage in the Argonne until the lights of Forsyth were about four miles away. Then a tire breath ed its last and left the trio conjec turing dolefully as to how they were going to go from there. With the aid of a sapling the car was raised and a spare tire was enticed upon the rim, he merchant wondering in the mean me how it had been possible for 1 "ter to be a fisherman and also a disciple. The weary trio piled once mon nto the faithful flivver and as- Rhodes Realty Co. Real Estate Specialists ter covering a distance of a few hun dred yards again came to earth to behold a tire that was not proof against the escape of air. A trans portation parley was then held and it was decided that the merchant should drive the car on to the J. P. Ivey Filling Station while the banker and the editor-fisher brought up the rear in the leisurely manner of town pedestrians. The car was parked at the Ivey Filling Station and the three fisher men set out afoot, gazing sadly across the universe to where the lights of Forsyth were shining on the other side. There is- some luck, however, even in a fishing trip, for while the boys were going up in low, high, in termediate and what-not, the hill which leads to Ensign's Mill along came Sheriff Bittick and saved their lives, and thereupon hangs a tale. It developed that the Sheriff was not out merely enjoying the night air, but had been called by Mr. Ivey to rescue his filling station from a trio of bandits, the merchant making against the nocturnal background a perfect silhouette of a safe blower, the banker being an exact double of Al Capone and the editor having the guilty appearance of a Hoover Dem ocrat who had just realized the mean ing of the Republican tariff bill.

NUMBER TWENTY-ONE TWinY WARNS SEINERS OF FISH PROSECUTIONS TO FOLLOW VIO LATIONS OF FISHING RULES. NO PERSON AUTHORIZED TO GIVE SEINING PERMITS. ATLANTA, Ga.—Peter S. Twitty, state game and fish commissioner, to day announced that all game war dens, deputies and other employes of his office had been instructed to pros ecute seiners and netters and confis cate all seines and nets used in viola tion of the state fishing laws. “In some counties the impression prevails that seining and netting will be permitted after July 1, but such is not the case,” Mr. Twitty said. “The general assembly of 1925 pass ed an act prohibiting the use of nets and seines for a period of five years. This term will expire on Aug. 25, but the same act gives the state board of game and fish the authority to extend the closed period, and otherwise regu late or prohibit the use of seines and nets at all times. “Acting under authority of law and on advice of the attorney-general, the state board of game and fish at its annual meeting on May 6 last, adopt ed an order prohibiting the taking of fish from any of the streams of Geor gia by means of seines, nets and sim ilar devices, such order to be effect ive for a period of twelve months from Aug. 26, 1930, or until the gen eral assembly itself can take further action in the matter.” Mr. Twitty said that he considered seining more destructive to the state’s fish supply than any other thing. This year, he said, there are more fresh water fish in streams than for several years, and largely because of the law prohibiting seining. JNO. A. WILLIAMS SELLS HOME TO C. B. OWEN Mr. Jno. A.
