PLANTFRS ARP WELL PI FASEDl^^^ ^*0 TO FORT OGLETHORPE
PLANTERS ARE WELL PLEASED! —MOVEMENT TUESDAY—LIST
TWENTY WHITES
CALLED FROM DOOLY
WITH RESULTS OF EXPE
MENTAL PLANTING.',
That Dooly county soil is well
adapted to tobacco cultivation has
been proven beyond question by the
successful results of the planting this
year by Messrs. McIntosh, Best and
Coker, in the southwestern section of
the county. These'gentlemen who
*same to the state from South Caro
lina where the weed is extensively
grown are experienced in its cultiva
tion. They have been in Dooly long
enough to make a careful study of
thes oil and were confident of the suc
cess of their undertaking before
launching it. Each of the men has an
eight acre tract in the weed, these
tracts are lying in close proximity to
eaeh other, and the soil therefore is
quite similar in composition. The
yields from the three fields will not
vary greatly either in quantity or
quality. Curing houses have been
erected and the first picking has al
ready passed through this process and
is now ready for market. The mar
ket usually opens about the middle
of this month. It is not known yet
just what prices will prevail for this
season’s crop, but the indications
point to a profitable market.
The introduction of tobacco culti
vation in Dooly is another illustra
tion of the limitless productive possi
bilities of her soil. These men who
are experienced tobacco growers tes
tify that the soil is as well adapted to
the growth of the weed"hs is much of
that in their native state, where it is
grown to great extent and with hand
some profit.
NOT READY YET.
Orders have been received by the
Local Board to furnish twenty white
registrants from this county for the
next movement of selectmen to the
camps, which is scheduled to be made
sometime between the 15th and 19th
of this month.
The personnel of this quota is not
yet ready for publication, the local
board not having yet been able to de
termine upon tho men who are to
constitute the quota because full in
structions with reference to the call
have not been received.
This increment will in all probabil
ity however, be selected from the list
of men, who originally and by recent
re-classification now constitute Group
A of the Class 1 Registrants. They
will be selected according to their or
der numbers.
The men selected to fill this quota
will be entrained here Tuesday, their
destination being Fort Oglethorpe.
The Board gives out the infor
mation that the quota will be made
up as largely as possible without in-
eluding those in this class now en
gaged in farming.
FINE MELONS
One of the most delightful treats
-fiiijoyod by the News force this season
was tendered by Mr. J. C. Barbre one
of the most successful fanners in the
county yesterday. Two fine water-
} 'melons with hearts almost as big as
the donors. The whole force is now
haping that others will follow Mr.
Barbre’s example.

MR. J. W. GRAHAM
IS LAID TO REST
ONE OF THE COUNTY’S OLDEST
CITIZENS PASSES AWAY AT
UNADILLA.
One of God’s noble men has fallen
in the person of Joe W. Graham who
fell on sleep Sunday, June 30th, 1918.
He was born August 24th, 1884, liv
ed a long, useful and happy life, be
ing about 74 years of age when he
left us, for he is not dead, for he that
believeth on him shall never die. The
body* dies but the soul, the eyes liveth
forever.
Bro. Joe was a patriot .indeed, hav
ing joined the Confederate army in
May 1861, fought through the four
years without having received a sin
gle wound. He ’wes a loving, cheer
ful Christian;- faithful to his church,
having been a member for years. He
joined with his wife, nee Ella Dickson,
and were baptized together in 1870.
He was a true friend, dutiful hus
band, loving and faithful father. He
loved his friends and all that was
good. As a citizen, a politician, hon
ored by his fellows, by choosing him
to the office of coroner for years.
He was my friend, his home was
my home. His pleasure was to make
others happy with his cheerful voice
and bewitching smile he was all to
himself. No one knew him but to
love him, and the better you know
him the more you appreciated him.
He has gpne before us, to meet his
loved ones overthere, and doubtless

ORDER FOR LESS
LIGHT MAY COME
PLANS ARE BEING MADE TO
CONSERVE FUEL BY REDUC
ING LIGHT CONSUMPTION.
'Atlanta, Ga., July.—The following
announcement from the United States
Fuel Administration has been receiv
ed by Dr. Andrew M. Soule, federal
food administrator.
The United States Fuel Adminis
tration authorizes the following.
The United States Fuel Adminis
tration is confronted with the imme
diate necessity for further conserv
ing coal used in the manufacture of
electrical current and illuminating
g<w-
An order is in preparation which
is to take the place of the co-cnlled
lightless night order of November 13.
which was suspended by the Fuel Ad
ministrator on May 1 by reason of
the daylight saving law and the fact
that tho general conservation pro
gram of the administration was deem
ed sufficient notico notice to the
country that coal and the power de
rived from coal must be conserved in
every possible way.
It now appears that in every city
and village of the country, from
which statistical and other reports
have been gathered, electricity is be
ing wasted in large quantities in tho
production of light for advertising,
street and store illumination and
other similar purposes. The country
needs now, and for the whole period
of the war will need, more coal than
it can possibly produce and transport.
Confronted by this condition the
Fuel Administrator will order radical
reductions in the quantity of coal
consumed in the manufacture of elec
tricity and illuminating gas used for
the purposes specified. While the
official order has not yet been signed,
it is expected that it will provide for
closer restrictions in the New Eng
land States, than in other states
where the transportation of coal is
not such a tremendous problem.
In any case it is expected the or
der will provide that no theater
other outdoor lights shall be turned
on until the street lights shall have
been lighted. Unnecessary daylight
use of electric lights and electric ad
vertising displays will probably be
shut off altogether. The order will
deal also'with store window lights,
and will extend to all kinds of fuel,
including gas and oQ..
W. S. S. QUOTA NOT .
YET SUBSCRIBED
APPEAL TO CITIZENS TO TAKE
FULL AMOUNT ALLOTED
THEM.
The county is short in its quota
about 850,000. This shortage is
caused by reason of the fact that a
great many of our good citizens have
failed and refused to take their al
lotment of War Savings Stamps. As
County Chairman I have withheld the
publication of the list of those whe
have failed to do their duty and take
this opportunity of giving them an
other chance to either see me or
their District Chairman and subscribe
for the amount allotted to them se
that our county may go “Over Tho
Top.” In a few weeks from now, a
list of all of the people in the county
who have failed to do their duty will
be published to the world. This is
nn unpleasant duty on my part, but
the Government requires It. If you
have not subscribed for the full al
lotment, do so at once and save em
barrassment in regard to this matter.

I’ve beamed when you hollered, “Oh
Girlie!”
I've hopped when you bellowed, "Oh,

I’ve fallen for “Dearie” and “Missus”
And everything eiso till today.
But there’s one thing got to be differ

From now till the great war is done
Unless you’re prepared for a riot,
You’ve got to quit calling me “Hun”
