FITZGERALD, BEN HILI, COUNTY, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 4, 1912.
The Pecan Industry
In Ben Hill,
Oldest Grafted Qrchards in
Georgia.
BIG CROP THIS YEAR.
The orchardists of Fitzgerald
are getting ready to gather their
Pecan crop for 1912. For several
seasons past the crops were
sufficiently remunerative to en
courage the early pioneers in the
pecan industry to increase their
holdizngs but this vear will be the
record vyear of the pecan grower.
Mr. E. N. Davis, whose orchard
has about 1000 trees will gather
more than a bushel per tree. The
varieties are numerous and the
nuts are well filled as the large
rainfall has been especially favor
able to the nut culture. Capt.
Buckley’s Grove, Mr, Seanor’s and
Mr. Cary’s all show a splendid
improvement over previous years,
and the harvest with all of them
will be profitable. Pecan growing
in south Georgia will soon be an
industry to be reckoned with, sev
eral huundred acres of fine land
will be set out in trees this fall
around Fitzgerald, The industry
has passed the experimental stage,
the pecan 'is. here to stay and to
ald to the busin ss future of the
community.

At Cumming
Trial of Negroes May Be Fin
ished Thursday Night--No
Trouble is Expected
Cumming, Ga. Oct, 3.—*‘Guil
ty” was the first verdict to come
from a jury in the trial of the ne
groes brought here under guard of
the state militia, The verdict was
rendered at 4 o’clock this afternoon
in the case of the state against
Erpest Knox, colored, charged
with criminal assault. The case
had been on trial all day until the
jury retired.
There was no demonstration
from the crowd in the court room
whep verdict was vead, Sentence
was not then pronounced,
Immediately the case against
Oscar Daniel, another negro,
charged with the same offense in
the state case, was called to trial.
It seemed probable that the
court would hold a night session,
if by sc doing it could conclude
the trial of the two other negro
men yet to be arraigned jointly
for a similar offense.
This would leave one negro man
not indicted, who stands charged
with attempted ciiminal assault;
and one negro woman, not indicted
charged with being an eccessory.
It seemed as if neither will yet be
indicted or tried.
