_D. Chase (New York State Code j
of Sportsmanship.)
Mr. Chase, the author of the above]
has furnished the world with some- i
thing too good for us to keep. There-!
fore, we ere passing it on to the ]
si ho ii boys and girls of all the schools!
of Douglas and Coffee county.
What a race of great men and wo
men our country would produce if
all of its present school children would
read the above twice, clip it, and
read it at least once a month for
five years. Whet you read makes you
what you are!
WHY SET PECANS?
1(1) They add a diversification to
marketable crops, which will prove
not only one of the most easily pro
duced, but likely one of the most
profitable grown on the farm.
(2) The pecan combines both beau
ty and utility. Its stately symmetri
cal shapes add beauty to any sur
roundings. There is no trees that
combines both of these qualities to a
higher degree.
(3) A shade tree it is superior to
the oak, sycamore, etc., in that it pays
good rent for the ground it occupies.
(4) Pecans add to the permanent
value of the land. If it is to be sold
then it decidedly enhances the sell
ing price.
(5) Ripening after most crops are
harvested, they add to the length of
the season for the profitable employ
ment of farm labor.
(G) Unlike most fruits there is no
necessary rush either in gathering
or marketing the nuts. They do not
suffer in quality if not gathered for
weeks after they are ripe; and if
stored in a cool place they do not
deteriate in quality if kept even for
twelve months.
(7) Pecans are natures’s own pro
duct, put up in air-tight and dust
proof receptacles, and are unsurpass
ed for their flavor and healthfulness.
As an economical and healthful food,
adding variety to the dietary, they
appeal to all who want to grow at
home as much of the family supplies
as possible.
(8) If correct methods are follow
ed there is no doubt that pecans can
be made highly profitable at the pres
ent level of prices. It is the opin
ion of our most experienced growers
that the price can even be cut in half
and still leave a profit for the grow

er.
(9) This generation nor the next
will see an over-production of this
best of all nuts. The present pecan
crop of the United States if equally
divided among all its people would
give less than four ounces for each
inhabitant. When we supply our own
people, we still have the remainder
of the world for a market.
The pecan appeals to the intelligent
man or woman who wants to make
the most of their opportunities. The
indifferent and careless may as well
continue to grow potatoes and cot
ton and razor-back hogs.—Vienna

“BOOSTER”
B. L. DAVIS WRITES OF
SINGING CONVENTION
Just a few words about the singing
convention we tried to have at Nich
olls last Sunday. Bless pajipy, it
turned out to be a disappointment. I
never saw as many people hurt over
anything like that before. It does
look to me as though they could give
that day off for singing, as it only
comes once a year, and the day was
set apart a year ago—for singing.
I am not trying to condemn preach
ing, but as before stated—that was
singing day, and the people should not
have been treated as they were.
I heard several leaders say that
they had come from 25 to 70 miles to
hear good singing, and to help sing,
and returned home without doing ei
ther. Some say the president wsa to
blame, and some say others. One
thing I say is regardless who likes
or who dont:'when a day is set apart
to gather from all parts and unite in
singing is to do so and if there is
preaching got to be done, let the sing
ers go to another church, and sing.
Now the writer is not puffed up be
cause he did not get to display his ig
narance, but am writing in behalf of
others. Nothing will live long with
its head cut off; and just a very few
more blows like that Sunday; will be
the death blow to the Singing Con
ventions: It will be worse than cold
weather. The Bible says there is
a time to all things. So lets all get
it in our system good and proper that
we will sing at Salem Church next sth
Sunday in Nov.

COUNTY OFFICER SHOT IS
IN BAD CONDITION
Waycross.—A. F. Horner, Ware
county policeman, who is alleged to
have been shot by H. I. Bowick here
Saturday afternoon, in a dispjute
over an automobile license tag, is in
a critical condition at the King’s
Daughters hospital. Physicians an
nounce that double pneumonia has
set in and that his condition is ser
ious.
The gun shot wound in the abdo
men is not regarded as critical. Hor
ner is a man of 280 pounds and his
chances of recovery from the pneu
monia attack are regarded as slight.
Bowick, who is said to have admitted
that he shot Horner, is being held in
the Ware county jail without bond,
and his 17-year-old son, Henry Bo
wick, Jr., is also said to be connected
with the shooting.
In a statement to officers and precjP
representatives Bowick said he shot
Horner because he felt he was not
subject to arrest and he resented any
advances- from the officer who had
approached him on the matter of
changing a New York license tag to
a Georgia Tag.
Bowick said he had not owned the
car thirty days, but he had received
permission from the secretary of
State to operate the auto for thirty
days without a change of license.
Sheriff Warren stated this after
noon that he issued a warrant for the
arrest of young Bowick, Jr., on Aug
ust 1, for violating the license tag
law and that Officer Horner had the
warrant in his possession at the time
he tried to arrest Bowick.
The good women of Douglas are on
the right road. They are determin
ed to beautify the city. Women ajM
always be counted on to'do the riglst
thing.
