THURSDAY, JULY II, 1918 NUMBER 5* SACCO SUCCESS* -ULLY GROWN HERE 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.

'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. L. L.
