Stribling. As a matter of fact dur
ing th “past few months this depart

posed to the erstwhile defensive tac

longer than a few days ago. the writ
er expressed the doubt that Young

how far wrong it was in assuming
that Stribling was not a coming cham
pion.
We have been told by these ardent
Stribling admirers that the “Macon

tougher encounters. They argue that
Stribling meets a few set-ups, but

This provides argument hard to

opinion all alone is that Srtiblinir

attention.
This was bad guessing
porter’s part, as a story in other
columns carries the information that
“Pa” Stribling has consented for his
son to meet Benny Leonard, who, by
the wildest stretch of the imagination,
cannot he termed opposition. This
match, if it is scheduled, will be pull
ed ofT in Nashville and will likely
prove a whale of a (food attrac
tion.
Therefore, having busied himself for
weeks in urging Stribling to take on. .

pondent hastens to bat the announce
ment that getting a mutch with the
lightweight champion of the world is
a step in the right direction, a mighty-
big step, in fact.
Young Stribling has many friends.
Don’t think that he hasn’t. Having
writen several hundred word)* in
which little praise for the Bibb coun
ty youth was included, this writer
happens to know that Stribling has
many followers, for a number have
in his campaign. Stribling has not
been condemned to the point where
it is impossible for him to make his
critics swallow thir words.
Dixie fight fans are looking for an
idol. They haven’t had l one since
Pete Herman was fighting his way
to the top of the bantamweight heap.
Stribling has the chance to make
himself a very popular youngster.
Maybe he’ll start on the long road
against Benny Leonard. The south
hopes so, anyway.—Atlanta Consti

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 8.—Governor
Hardwick transmitted Friday to both
houses of the General Assembly spec
ial messages recommending that the
tick eradication law of the state bo
amended so as to meet local condi
tions that are constantly causing
trouble in South Georgia counties.
In his message the Governor
stated that he is constantly receiv
ing letters complaining of the situa
tion in that section, and declaring
that the vast open ranges make it
so difficult for owners to gather
their cattle together for dipping
that a strict compliance with the pres
ent law practically amounts to confis
cation.
The message concludes as follows:
“It is most unfortunate that re
grettable instances of lawlessness
and disorder and openly violent re
sistance to the laws of the State
have occurred in some of these
Lunties, and I am constrained
believe that a vast majority of the
pie jin. these counties are lawt-
abiding citizens of Georgia and deep
!v regret and deplore these occur
rences. Resolutions to that effect,
adopted by representative mass meet
ngs of responsible citizens have been
presented to me, and I am informed
that all resistance to the law has
ceased.
Under these circumstances, I feel
that I ought to say that it should
not be the purpose and intent of the
laws of this state to work any undue
hardship upon any of its citizens and
that local conditions sometimes make
it necessary to so amend the law
that it can be applied to the whole
tate, with wisdom and with justice,
and I urge that you investigate this
ubject carefully and seek some rem-
dy which will relieve the unfortunate
situation existing in some of these
ounties.
“The laws of Georgia must be en
forced and upheld, but they must be
made with intellignce and framed so
is not to work unnecessary hard-
hip upon the people, and their en
forcement is rendered much easier
whenever they are so framed. Gon-
quently, I urge upon the General
Assembly prompt consideration of
this question, with the view of making-
such changes in the law as may be
necessary, in the interest of the peo
ple as a whole, so as not to work un
due and unnecessary hardships upon
ny locality.”

The County Y. M. C. A. work was
put on in Screven County two years
ago, under circumstances which were
not the most promising. We under

but had faith in that character of
work, and were willing to undertake
We believe that the boys cf our
community are our most valuable as
sets, and any work which promised
to stimulate them to their best ap
pealed to us as worth while. Our
hopes have been more than justified
during the months we have observed
the work and the results, and instead
of asking ourselves the question “How
it can be kept up,” we are now ask-
ng, “How can we do without it?”
Boys in their teens have been de
veloped into real religious leaders,
taking active part in church and Sun
day school work. While developing
this side of their manhood the social
and physical has received its proper
attention ,tending to make the all

Pecan Crop To
Be Small This Year
Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 5.—The
pecan crop throughout this section of
South Georgia will not be as large
this year as it has been for most seas
ons but will be rather “spotted” as
some growers state that they have
pretty good crops and others that
theirs are rather light.
The general idea seems to be that
the weather when *the trees were
putting on their blooms had a good
deal to do with this state of affairs
being at one time exceedingly dry
and at another almost unprecedented
ly wet. for the time of the year. Those
who do have good crops this year
will obtain fine prices for their nuts,
as the demand for the pecan for all
sorts and kinds of uses has grown
so much that no other nut can take
its place acceptably.
As a result of the short crop there
is being more spraying and work done
on the trees than ever before as it
has been found that like all crops ,it
needs care to obtain good returns
The demand for nursery stock this
year has shown the great interest
still take n in this industry and there
is always a fine sale for a good pecan
grove, showing the faith the public
has in the value of pecan growing.
