INCREASE OLD CONTENT
Oil Tests of Varieties Made at
(vdlege of Agriculture With a
View to Breeding Rind That
Will Produce Largest Yields,
Best Lint and Most OiL
The Georgia State College of Art!-
culture recently installed an oil test-
plant in its cotton industries labo-
-itories, and Prof. L. E. East, who is
charge, has been conducting tests
w:th a view to breeding the type of
cotton that will produce heaviest, fur
nish the best lint and carry the most
oil. The belief is that a maximum of
all products of the cotton may be at
tained with right selection and breed
ing. Heretofore the main object in
cotton breeding has been for lint only.
It has been demonstrated at the col
lege that there is a wide variation in
the oil content of different varieties.
By growing the best oil-producing
kind and by breeding them up to the
highest state of efficiency, it is be
lieved that such seed will command a
premium from the oil mills.

MANY COMMERCE PEOPLE WILL
ATTEND GEORGIA-TECH GAMES
Get that automobile ready for the
like; invite your party and have your
plad rags laid out for the big doings
ill Athens on Friday and Saturday of
next week, May 8 and 9, says Editor
Paul Harber in The Commerce Ob-
kcner. These dates are on the cai-
emiar of events in the “^lassie City”
in lurid, big type. It’a the time for the
annual clash on the diamond between
the Georgia and Tech baseball teams.
This means something!
In anticipation of the supreme nth-
!etic event, Athena is making prepara
tions to celebrate these twin-days in
grand style. Hundreds of fans and
"fannettes” from all the surrounding
towns will ire in attendance; an ex
cursion will be operated from Atlanta
and Ihe local populace will turn out
large numbers to witness the gin
gery college game which makes old
folks shout and the youngsters
scream.
Friday, the day of the first game, is
to be observed as a half holiday by
city authorities, the chamber of
commerce and a majority of Athens
business bouses which will close their
doors at 2:30 in order that employees
night attend the game.
extra bleachers, with a searrng ca
pacity of 1,000 have' been provided,
in view of the unprecedented attend
ance expected. With the commodious
grandstand and regular bleachers,
plus the extra fixtures, filled to the
brim, one will be reminded of Ponce
do Loon.
Commerce always sends a big dele
gation down to Athens for the Geor
gia- Tech games. Local people love
college baseball and the University is
a popular institution from the Com
merce point of view. This city has
several studenta there and at times in
the past few years has led the small
cities of the state in the number of
students registered. It Is not sur
prising or strange, therefore, that
local enthusiasm over the game is at
high tide. Already the games are
holding first attention along with
other biff events such as grand opera,
the xShrlners convention the Mexican
war and state politics.

.ENGINEER MOORE
BACK ON HIS RUN
Tom Moore, the veteran engineer
on the Athens-Lula brunch of too
Southern, is back on his job after
an absence from duty for a period of
about three months. A wreck in the
Athens yards sometime ago resulted
in his back being injured. The shock
affected his nerves, causing him much
loss of sleep and intense pain for
many weeks.
Mr. Moore is a reliable, safe and
accomplished mechanic and engineer.
During his thirty years of service he
has cost the railway people practical
ly nothing. His keen oye, steady
nerve and perfect knowledge of tha
engine mechanism has enabled him to
make a record in railway circles not
surpassed by any employee of the
Southern system. All the children,
men, women and everybody up and
down the road know “Mr. Tom.” They
feel safe on the cars when he is at
the throttle. During his absence from
duty he was missed by bis friends and
many inquiries were mado concerning
his condition. Now, that he is back
in the cab, all is well, and when the
train passes along there arc cordial
greetings for the popular and reliable
veteran engineer.—Commerce Observ-

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.—The attor
neys (or and againat Leo M. Frank
have at laat agreed on one point—
and that ia that the Fulton county
jail la not big enough to hold all the
perjurers in the Mary Phagan murder
trial and subsequent proceedings.
They differ, however, on which stde
the perjured testimony lies.
Never in the history of criminal
court proceedings has such a mass of
affidavits been built up around a sin
gle case before. There hare been affi
davits denying what witnesses pre
viously swore to on the witness stand,
and affidavits declaring the falsity of
what other witnesses swore to.
There have been affidavits on ona
side contradicted flatly by affidavits
filed the seme day on the same point
by the other side and to further eora-
pjicalc matters some parties have
fied two affidavtii, both of which
could not be true.
The aupreme court has not yet final
ly passed on the question of which
side, has told the truth and which has
not. But it ia certain that both sides
cannot have told the truth.
The latest and most startling in
stance of the way such conditions
have tangled the case ia the affidavits,
of Rev. C. B. Ragsdale and R. L. Bar
ber, who swore they heard Jim Oon-
ley admit the slaying of Mary Pha
gan. They may have rwom the truth.
Their statements have not been dis-
proven yet, but scarcely were they
printed' when the other side came for-
ward with a statement announcing
that both of the men had themselves
repudiated what they had said.
