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 / COFFEE CO UN TV PROGRESS 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 News.

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.
