Dr. R. C. Edwards
Dies Suddenly
In Atlanta Home
The death of Dr. Robert Crawford

some years he supervised musical
education in New Orleans and about
four years ago he returned to Geor
gia.
Mr. Edwards organized school
bands in Kirkwood, Smiley, Clark

Brookhaven schools. He was in
structor at the Chamblee school, and
secretary of the Georgia Music Ed

LOCAL BOYS ADVANCE TO
FINALS BUT LOSE TO GAY.
JACKSON GIRLS LOSE I N
SEMI-FINALS
Jackson’s first sectional basket
ball tournament in years came to
a successful close Saturday night
with Concord girls and Gay boys
being crowned champions of all
Group C high schools in this district.
Concord girls defeated Gay Sat
urday night in the finals, and Gay
boys ran rough-shod over Jackson in
a rough-and-tumble game to emerge
the winner, 38-21.
Play began on Wednesday night
when Hampton was handed a double
defeat by Milner girls and Jackson
boys. Thursday night, Jackson girls
won over Yatesville and Yatesville
boys beat Milner. Friday night,
Gay boys trounced Yatesville, Con
cord girls swamped Jackson, and
Jackson boys won a close game from
Concord.
Both the local teams advanced far
in the tournament, the girls to the
semi-finals and the boys to the fi
nals. The Concord girls proved too
much for Jackson Friday night, how
ever, and our girls went down with
out much more than a fighting
chance for victory. Our boys aveng
ed that defeat by handing the Con
cord boys a smartly administered
licking. In the absence of Bill
Smith, out with a sprained ankle,
Aldeen Singley caught the spark
and led Jackson to victory with 16
points accounted for personally.
In the finals against Gay, Jackson
was the victim of amateurish ref
ereeing and a fairly good team that
put its emphasis on rough work. In
a wide-open game, in which the Gay
boys committed every crime against
the home boys except mayhem, Gay
took the hard-fought and hotly-con
tested decision.
Large and enthusiastic crowds
witnessed every game and local fans
were well pleased with the whole
show and are looking forward to the
time when Jackson will be named
as the tournament site once more.

will then begin filling all camps in
Georgia which are actively engaged
in defense projects, such as the
camps at Fort Benning and Camp
Stewart.
Boys between the ages of 17 and

Some Effects of Erosion
Editor Progress-Argus:
In the February issue of the Na
tional Geographic Magazine there is
an interesting article entitled: “Tam
ing Flood Dragons Along the Yel
low River,”’ by Oliver J. Todd, an
American engineer who worked a
year or more for the Chinese gov
ernment trying to control the flood
waters of that mighty river. He
says that sometimes during freshets,
40 per cent of the flow is silt sand
and mud.
But we don’t have to go to China
or read about it to find examples
of how fast our own soils are wash
ing down into the streams, filling
the channels, raising the water level
and increasing the damage from
overflows.
Some of this fertile part of the
soil washed out of the fields is de
posited in the valleys, making our
rich bottom lands, but that is small
compensation for the vast amount
left in the bottom of the streams.
In the “Georgia Historical and In
dustrial,’ ’issued by our State Agri
cultural Department in 1902 there
is an interesting sketch of Butts
county, and mention is made of an
island in the Ocmulgee river that
has produced one hundred bushels
of corn per acre without fertilizer.
This refers to the “forty acre is
land,” the lower one of a group of
“Seven Islands” for which the for
mer post office and cotton mill were
named. All these islands were in
cluded in the large acreage of La
mar lands recently sold.
I lived for more than seventy
years near the Ocmulgee and dur
ing that time the water level in the
river was raised six or eight feet
by the filling in of the channel. Sev
eral shoals and ledges of rocks that
I knew of when a boy have become
completley submerged.
In the old swimming hole where
we used to play there are several
large rocks, and some of them stood
several feet above the water, but
now' they are completely covered
over.
When a little boy, sometimes I
could hear the roar of the water
dashing over the shoals about two
miles down the river, and someone
would say it was going to rain be
cause they heard the shoals down
the river, and it was a good sign
because it showed the wind was in
the south. Now there is hardly a
r
ripple in the water as it passes over
this ledge.
Just opposite my old home the
river bends towards the west for
about a mile, and then, just below
the mouth of Little Sandy Creek, it
bends towards the east for about the
same distance, making a complete
horse shoe.
Just below this sharp bend a ledge
of rock extends about half-way
across the river, making the water
above revolve, and during freshets
it swirls almost fast enough to cap
size a boat. This bend is known as
the “suck hole” and used to be 20
to 80 feet deep. It is not as deep
as it used to be, but is still a dan
gerous place during high water.
Some times during freshets, up
rooted trees and other debris float
into this bend and stops there. On
several occasions the bodies of peo
ple who had drowned up the river
have been recovered there.
Since people are giving more at
tention to terracing, planting cover
crops and taking better care of their
lands in general, our streams are
not filling up so fast and in some
places the channels are washing out.
