STATE IS BEHIND
MARKETING PLAN
CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS
ARE ENCOURAGED AND
APPROVED.
Atlanta, August 17.—Contract mar
keting, through great Co-operative
Marketing Associations of farmers, is
now encouraged and protected by law
in Georgia. Governor Hardwick
signed the new co-operative marketing
law, designed for that purpose and
introduced by Senator J. H. Mills dur
ing the recent session of the Legisla
ture, on Monday afternoon.
The bill is almost an exact replica
of a similar measure which has been
passed during the last year in five
other Southern States, and is modeled
upon the co-operative marketing acre
of the State of California.
Its most interesting immediate ef
fect is the complete organization of
the membership contract and organi
zation plan of the Georgia Cotton
Growers’ Co-operative Association,
now forming in this State, whose
proponents were the leading advocates
of the measure.

M. Miller, of Boston, was acquitted f
the charge of criminal assault < a
12-year old girl of that town, by the
jury in the Superior Court here ear y
this morning. The case consumed
all of yesterday and went to the jury
late last night. When the verdict was
given Judge Thomas ordered every
one in the court room to remain f"”
thirty minutes after Mr. Miller was
turned over to the care of his son. the
local police guarding all doors to pre
vent their leaving.
A large number of witnesses ir the
case were examined on both -ides,
the little girl herself corroborating
the charge. Mr. Miller denied the
crime most strenuously and referred
to similar charges made against him
at his previous trial in May when he
was also acquitted. He is a well
known merchant of Boston and his
friends there testified to his good
character, while other witnesses swore
against it.
A large number of Boston citizens
came over for the trial, but only
those connected with the case were
allowed in the court room during the
trial. Solicitor Hay conducted the
prosecution and H. J. McIntyre was
counsel for the defendant.

The Valdosta. Moultrie and West
ern Railway, which touches important
sections of the ebuntry and is of
special value to watermelon and cot
ton growers along its route, will not
be junked, according to the plans
that were mapped out yesterday be
fore Judge Beverly Evans in cham
bers here.
C. L. Jones, present owner of the
road, has agreed to sell the line to a
corporation being organized by W. J.
Vereen, of Moultrie, if the purchase
price can be raised. Men on the
right-of-way are anxious to form the
company and take over the road. It
was almost an assured fact yester
day that the company could be formed
and the price asked by Mr. Jones
could be secured.
Seven Miles Already Junked
The V. M. & W. property was sold
several weeks ago to Mr. Jones for
mantling it a short time ago. In Sell
ing the property to Mr. Jones, Judge
Evans gave him the privilege of oper
ating it or junking it. In the order
it was specified that the junking must
be completed in thirty days.
The thirty-day period will be up in
a few days, so Judge Evans yester
day extended the period thirty more
days to give the proposed corporation
time to organize and raise the money
needed. While the company is being
formed the junking will be held up.
The road was being dismantled at
the rate of one mile a day. Mr.
Jones had already junked seven miles
of it when approached by the citizens
of Valdosta and Moultrie.
The contract drawn up yesterday by
Mr. Jones and the proposed company
was satisfactory to all parties, Judge
Evans said. The new organization
will operate the road as a going con
cern.
Conference Lasts Five Hours.
“That the road will be saved from
the junk heap is almost an assured
thing,” Judge Evans said. ‘Only one
more man had to be seen to put the
deal through and Mr. Vereen went to
Atlanta to see him yesterday.”
The money consideration involved
in the deal was not given out.
E. J. Wilcox, of Valdosta, repre
sented Mr. Jones, and Mr. Vereen rep
resented the proposed purchasers.
The conference lasted for approxi
mately five hours.
Offered Whole Property for $175,000.
Moultrie, Ga., Aug. 17.—Although
the details of the offer to C. L. Jones,
owner of the V. M. & W. property,
are not known here, last week he of
fered the entire road from Moultrie to
Valdosta, including the rolling stock
for $125,000, the road with the Val
dosta terminal property for $175,000,
or that pari of the line from Morven
to Moultrie for $100,000. It could not
be learned here which one of the prop
ositions the option was on.
It was stated at the time the last
final attempt to save the road was
launched that whether that part of
it from Morven to Valdosta was saved
depended largely on the people on that
end of the line. It was pointed out
that Moultrie, Berlin and intermediate
points , were chiefly interested in the
road from Morven to Moultrie.
The chief objection advanced to the
Morven-Valdosta end of the line is
the condition of the road bed on that
stretch. There are several long tres
tles on that end and it is estimated
that it will take several thousand dol
lars to put one of them in good con
dition, while there are practically no
bridges between Morven and Moultrie,
and if the line just connects these
two points it can draw business from
the South Georgia at Morven and from
traffic arrangements with railroads
here.
It is not the intention of those who
are at work on a plan to buy the rail
road or part of it to operate it them
selves. It is considered certain that
some kind of arrangement can be
made with certain railroad interests
in this section to operate the V. M. &
W. in case it is saved from the junk
pile.
Already a little over seven miles of
the main line has been torn up and
the rails for this distance will, have
to be relayed if the road is bought.
The cross ties hBve not been torn up
and work of putting the track down
will not be a very big or expensive
task.

not only threefold, it is absolute and beyond recall. The loss
of a husband and father is a natural loss to the wife mi
