TO GIVE ALBANY
PECAN STATION
CITY FAVORED FOR EXPERI
MENTS BY PLANT INDUSTRY I
BUREAU.
Washington, July 1.—The Bureau
of Plant Industry today informed
Senator Harris, of Georgia, that it
expected to place the pecan experi
ment station provided by an amend
ment by Senator Harris in the vicin
ity of Albany. The decisions was
based upon investigations already
made by the bureau and although
several States were anxious for the
development work to be located in
their own sections, the bureau be
lieved Albany furnished advantages
needed to carry on experimental work.
Although the amendment to secure
the necessary funds was offered in the
Senate, Representative Frank Park,
of Georgia, co-operated in the efforts
to get the funds and then urged that
the station be placed in his district.
The station is provided for the in
vestigation, improvement, encourage
ment and determination of the adapt
ability to different soils and climate
conditions of pecans and for meth
ods of growing,, harvesting, packing,
shipping, sorting and utilizing them.
One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Doflars Reamed.
The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved.
That being the case he can not be too
careful about unnecessary expenses.
Very often a few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his gar
den, will save several dollars outlay
later on. It is the same in buying
Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and
a, bottle of it in the house often saves
a doctor’s bill of several dollars.

Jesup, Ga., July 1.—Incensed over
Governor Hardwick’s action in grant
ing a respite a mob of fifty or more
men early this morning lynched James
Sarcey and Joe Jordan, negroes, who
were to die here on the gallows yes
terday. Their bodies were found this
morning hanging from a limb of a
tree a short distance from the cele
brated Old Midway church in Liberty
county.
When Governor Hardwick’s orders
that the negroes be granted a respite:
of thirty days were received here)
yesterday, feeling ran very high and
on the appearance of strange men*
from other localities in the vicinity
of the Wayne county jail it looked
like trouble was to be had.
Sheriff L. W. Rogers and others
got into communication with Judge
J. P. Highsmith, who was holding
court at Hazlehurst yesterday, and
advised him of the expected trouble.
Judge Highsmith ordered the negroes
taken to the Chatham county jail for
safe keeping.
Lynched in Liberty County.
Deputy Sheriff J .R. Tyre, and Chief
of Police I. W. Rhoden left Jesup
late yesterday afternoon in an auto
mobile with the prisoners. It is said
that the department of the officers
with the two blacks leaked out after
all attempts were made to keep the
trip a secret.
A mob was secretly organized, ap
parently on the outskirts of this city,
and proceeded into Liberty county to
wait for the officers and their prison
ers.
On the Dixie Highway near Old
Midway church in Liberty county the
officers were overpowered. They were
disarmed and ' their prisoners taken
from them. The officers were then
ordered to return to Jesup and not
to lose any time in getting away.
Te negroes were taken by the mob
and ropes placed about their necks.
Shortly after daybreak this morning
their bodies were found hanging from
a limb near the celebrated church,
where only a few weeks ago one
of the greatest gathering of Baptists
of Georgia and other states assem
bled to observe its one hundredth an
niversary.
* Fifty in Mob.
The officers say there were about
fifty men in the mob and that they
were unable to recognize any of them.
The negroes denied their guilt up to
the time they were taken from the
officers. If they confessed before they
paid the unlawful death penalty it
will quitely likely never be known.
The two negroes were tried and
convicted in the Wayne county Su
perior Court on September 7, 1921, for
criminal assault on a white woman on
September 2. They were sentenced to
hang on September 30 by Judge High
smith. The attorneys for the negroes
filed a motion for a new trial on
September 7. The motion was over
ruled and the case carried to the
Georgia Supreme tourt.
The Supreme Court of Georgia sus
tained the ruling of the lower court
and on April 20, 1922, they were sen
tenced for the second time to hang
on May 19. A few days prior to May
19 an extraordinary motion wtis filed
i before Judge Highsmith. The motion
was overruled and the negroes were
sentenced for the third time to hang
on June 30. On June 29, the Governor
granted a stny of execution for a per
iod of thirty days in ordor that he
be allowed to study the case
Over 20 Diping Vats
Released In Colquitt
Moultrie, Ga., July 1.—The au
thorities in charge of the tick eradica
tion in Colquitt County Saturday re-
Teased more than 20 vats because the
territory they have served has been
tick free the required period of time.
It will he several days yet before “dip
day” arrives in any section of the
country and whether the cattle own
ers who, at a mass meeting held here
several days ago put those in charge
of the work on notice they would
not “dip their herds after July 1,"
meant it or not will not be difinitely
known until orders to drive the cattle
to the vats again are issued.
It is believec], however, that no
trouble will result and that the work
will not be interrupted. Unless it
is, all of the vats in the country will
be released before the end of the
year. As a precautionary measure, it
is understood that vats in some sec
tions will be watched for the next
few days to prevent the possibility of
them being dynamited.
