WHY NOT BUILD GOOD
CORN CRIBS AND KEEP
OUT THE RATS
Fumigate and Kill the Corn
Weevil?
Mr. S. E. McLendon, of the Bu-
I reau of Entomology, was in Louis
ville Tuesday visiting with County
Agent Shirley, farmers trying to in
terest them in the construction of
tight cribs, so as to keep out rats
and fumigate and kill the corn wee
vils. Mr. McClendon says in part:
“The biggest waste on the farm to
day is perhaps from rats and corn
weevils weqyils destroy more grain
than rats —the loss could all be sav
ed by building tight cribs so as to
keep out rats and fumigate and kill
the weevils. The cost of construc
ting tight cribs is small as com
pared with losses sustained each
'year. Cribs may be made tight by
using rough lumber making a dou
ble wall with paper between. The
J fumigation of corn with carbon di
sulphide sholud not cost more than
| one cent per bushel.”
If any one is interested in this
: work, they should sec County Agent
Shirley at once, so cribs can be pre
pared for the fall crop of corn.

not take time to explain here, but
if you call on me in person 1 will
be glad to explain in detail.
In order to give ample time for
the association to perform its func

LOUISVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1922,
Charges of Blackmail Are Made
By Walter T. Candler of Atlanta
Son of Asa. G. Candler Claims He Paid Out $25,000 to
Clyde K. Byfield to Keep from Having Byfield Tell of
Misconduct While on Way to Europe.
Atlanta. Ga., August 15—Mrs.
Sarah By field, whose husband was
charged by Walter T. Candler with
having extracted a $25,000 check
from him while the three were en
roll tc to Europe in July, was re
ported today as seriously ill at her
home here at the same time that
her husband. Clyde K. Bvfield, a
local automobile dealer, issued a
statement denying the accusations
of blackmail.
Mr. Candler in a petition filed in
supreme court and made public yes
terday sought to restrain Mr. Byfield
from collecting a thirty-day note for
$20,500, which Mr. Candler asserted
he had given along with certain
cash in exchange for the check. To
day Mr. Candler, son of Asa G.
Candler, Atlanta capitalist, issued a
statement declaring there were
“many glaring misstatements” in the
automobile dealer’s card. He also
denied having struggled with Mr. By
field's twenty-one year old wife, as
the husband alleged, and added “as
the ease is to be tried in court, I will
make no further statement.”
Mr. Candler’s petition alleged that
Mr. By field demanded $25,000 of Mr.
Candler when he found the latter
in Mrs. By field’s stateroom, and
asked that Mr. Byfield be restrained
from realizing on a note for $20,500
which the petitioner said he had
given with $2,000 in cash and Bv
field's notes of $20,500 in exchange
for a check for $25,000.
The statment, referring to the in
cident aboard ship mention by Mr.
Candler's petition, said:
“The charge that when I entered
the room I said: ‘Now, I have got
you and I have been suspecting this
for six months; you must pay me
$25,000,’ is infamously false.”
Mr. Bvfield said he and Miys. By
field and Mr. Candler dined with
other passengers on the night of
July 16, and that while champagne
was served “neither myself, my wife
nor Candler became intoxicated.”
Alleging lie was attracted to his
wife's stateroom by her outcry, his
statement said:
“I sprang to the stateroom and
| opened the door. 1 saw Candler in
a struggle with my wife; the bed
covering was stripped from her and
her night clothes were disheveled.
I was unarmed; did not have even
SMALL EXPLOSION
HURTS YOUNG BROWN
; •
Sam Brown, the nephew of Mr.
i Tom Brown, was injured Monday
! afternoon by the explosion of a per
cussion cap. Sam, who is about
fourteen years old, tried to punch
a hole in a leather belt with the
cap thinking that it could not ex
plode unless dynamite or a fuse
were attached. When he used pres
sure on the cap which was about
the size of a twenty-two bullet, the
cap exploded and seriously muti
lated his left hand and injured one
eye. The thumb and two fingers
were operated on immediately and
on Tuesday he was carried to the
hospital for further attention. Sam
is an unusually game lad, very man
ly, bright and popular and his many
friends wish for him a speedy re
covery.
DIES IN WADLEY
Wadley, Ga., August B.—Mr. B. J.
James died at Sandersvillc sanitar
ium on Monday afternoon at four
o’clock, the cause of his death be
ing anigna pectoris. His death
comes as a shock to his large num
ber of friends throughout the state.
He was 51 years of age. He was
reared in Jones County hut had
made his home at Ennis, near here,
for the past fifteen years, where he
had large fannidg and naval stores
interests. The funeral was held at
Coleman’s Tuesday afternoon at
four-thirty, he having been a most
loyal member of this church.
TAX DEFAULTERS.
Tax Collector J. A. Cheatham in
compliance with the taw has posted
at the Court House door a list of
tax defaulters, and they number 980.
This means that a large number of
citizens of the county have failed
to come forward and make a return
of their property, and help carry
their part of the expenses of the
county. And this is not all by any
means—several hundred more are
out in the woods and cannot he
found. We are satisfied at least ffi
teen hundred in the county have
made no return, and intend if they
can to avoid paying any tax and
push the burden off on their neigh
bors. Is that honest and good citi
zenship? We think not.
AVERT RAIL STRIKE
ON CANADA ROADS
Montreal, August 15.—The threat
ened strike of 37,000 shopmen on the
Canadian railways was temporarily
averted tonight when the presidents
of the Canadian National, Grand
Trunk and Canadian Pacific tele
graphed Premier W. L. Mackenzie
King that the wage cut of $200,000
ordered today would be rescinded
and the men would he paid at their
old rate prior to July 15.
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Macon. Ga„ August 15.—Detectives
tonight arrested a white man who
gave the name of J. H. Davidson,
on a charge of murder, in connec
tion with the fatal assault upon
Wiley H. Alien, night watchman at
the Bibb Mills, more than two weeks
ago. Allen died in a hospital one
week later.
a pocket knife, but with my naked
hands I did my best to kill him. I
lost all reason, all sense of right
and justice and, to my shame, for
getting that my wife’s erics had call
ed me to the room, I assaulted m\
wile as well as Candler.” Other
people, it continued, intervened and
separated tHe combatants.
Mr. Byfield said ho was in a dazed
condition, unused to foreign travel,
and short of funds when they
reached France, adding:
“In this dazed and helpless con
dition. Candler himself came, cring
ingly and cowardly, and begged me
to let him, as best he could, make
amends for his wrong doing to me.
He reminded me that, as a result
of the night’s horror, my business
would inevitably suffer and that
$25,000 would not be more than just
compensation. He then made no
denial or excuse for his conduct but
freely admitted it fn the presence of
one of the ship’s inspectors. In
an evil hour, dazed, hopeless and
desperate on the morning of the
outrage, I took a check for $25,-
000.”
Two days later in Paris, tlie state
ment sa\s, the check was exchanged
for notes and a certain sum of
money which enabled them to get
home. “At the same time,” the
statement said. “I signed the letter
(absolutely false) exonerating Cand
ler. There was no pretense by Cand
ler or any one else that the letter
was the truth.”
The letter referred to by Mr. By
field, which was made public by Mr.
Candler's attorneys, was dated Paris,
July 19, addressed to Mr. Walter T.
Candler, as follows:
“In regard to our misunderstand
ing, 1 wish to say to you that 1 want
to withdraw the statement I made
against you in regard to my accus
ing you of being intimate with my
[wife, Sarah Bvfield, on board the
[steamer Bcrcngaria. These state
| merits were made in a moment of
I anger and I am writing this letter
Ito you in order to do you justice,
and all the statements I made at
the time and in the presence of oth
ers were not so. lam writing this
j letter to you of my own free will
and accord and Without any intimi
j dation.
“Yours truly.
“C. K. BYFIELD.”
SCRUGGS AND CHEATHAM
TELL OF TRIP TO ATHENS
Trip to the Short Course at Athens
I have just returend from Athens,
where I attended the short agricul
tural course recently held there from
August 7 to 14. This trip was con
tributed as a scholarship hv the First
National Bank, and I feel grateful
to them for it, as I derived much
benefit from it.
Each morning we had lectures by
some of the best known men of the
state, there being a very important
lesson in each of them, and the
afternoons were taken up by judg
ing and studying the different kinds
of live stock, there being dairy cat
tle, beef cattle, sheep and hogs,
some of which are the finest in the
state. We were shown the best and
poorest of each of them, and after
wards we all discussed the different
parts of each.
While we were engaged in our
line of work the girls were also
busy with their studies in home
economics.
Arthur Cheatham and I were the
only hoys from Jefferson county,
and there were only two girls. We
wish so much there could have been
more of our hoys and girls to rep
resent our county.
We were very nicely entertained
by the good people of Athens, with
free picture shows, free ear rides,
parties, etc.
We feel that our trip would have
been more complete could we have
had our county agent, Mr. (’. V.
Shirley, with 11s.
I feel so grateful lo the Bank of
Bartow that I want to say a few
words about my trip to the Short
Course given by the State College of
Agriculture, Athens, Ga., for club
boys and girls, and to thank them
for my scholarship.
Last October at our county fair
the Bank of Bartow offered a S3O
scholarship to any pig club boy
whose pig took first prize. I was
fortunate enough to win first, second
and third prizes. The short course
began August 7 and lasted a week.
Heretofore Mr. Shirley, our county
agent, has gone with us on our short
course trips. We missed him very
much this time, as he was kept hack
on business. Robert Scruggs and I
left August 6 for Athens, having a
nice trip up. The short course this
year consisted mainly of live stock
judging and lectures by well known
instructors of Georgia. I won out of
about 160 hoys third place judging
sheep, and sixth place judging hogs.
The boys arc due Mr. Cunningham,
state club agent, many thanks for
the instructive and pleasant pro
gram.
We had a very enjoyable time. The
Rotary Club of Athens gave us a nice
entertainment. We had a street car
ride all over Athens, and several
other entertainments were given the
hoys and girls. I have learned much
about live stock, and have enjoyed
the trip very much. I thank the
Bank of Bartow very much for their
kindness.
—ROBERT SCRUGGS.

OLD LAND MARK IS
BEING TORN DOWN
Louisville Academy Having
Been Sold Makes Way for
New Street.
! The old Louisville Acadeim once
the boast and pride of the town is
being torn down to make way for
the new road soon to be laid to the
| cemetery. The entire old campus
was recently sold at public sale and
thus the land held so long in pub
lie trust by land grant from the
King of England has passed into pri- i
vate hands and all its pomp of yes
-1 terday is one with Nincvah and
Tyre.
The people of Louisville have long j
looked with respect and pride at
this old building though of late
years its outward trappings have
been other than would inspire aught
save shame and pity. The battered
! old front door sagging on its binges
j had no claim to beaut} unless one i
; remembered the dusty little shoes
wore the door thin. The dark, mus
ty old rooms held no charm with*
out the bright faces that gave them I
light, the walk that ran at right an
gles with no street in Louisville
was without significance unless one
considered that the feet of the
i great who had gone before trod
this path and wore the walk free
from grass and weeds.
The battered old windows with
i half the panes gone looked like dim.
sightless old eyes peering through
broken spectacles, yet despite the
traces of years those who love it.
i think of it as trailing clouds of
| glory, and arc sorry to see it brought
iso low. The more sentimental.
| however, are glad t<> see it pass
while it yet maintains a vestige of
its former glory. It is better t<>
see it fall like a shattered column
that to see it daily crumble. dcca\
and become the nesting place of bats
and owls. The memory of it may
now be laid away in lavender and
be brought out at any future da\
without the disused specter to mock
the memory.
Removing the debris, we under
stand. will require some months,
though at present a large part of
the building has been raised.
The chimneys were undermined
Monday and fell with a crash. The
steepel was sawed Tuesday and the
old clock that always said the same
j thing and the old belfry that listen
led for surreptitious footsteps the
night before April Fool’s Day top
j pled over in a great cloud of dust.
It is well. When buildings or men
outlive their day of usefullness
they are content to yield the stage
to another. The good that they do
lives after them and if the ideals
and aims of the old institution live
on in the hearts of its alumnae, who
may say but that it is not more tru-
I ly alive today than when its rooms
were crowded and its ball diamond
a stir with active figures?
Many towns people have secured
“cuttings” and roots of the English
I ivey vine that grew on the High
School Chimney. This vine was
planted years ago by Prof. Will Far
. mcr who bought the root at Mount |
Vernon. Sprays of the vine are not 1
needed to keep fresh the memory
of the old Academy nor of this no
ble man who did so much to keep
alive the historical and esthetic
sense of the present generation.
COURT OF ORDINARY.
