| NO ONE SERRIOUSLY HURT—CON-
I CESSION STANDS RAIDED AND
| SHOWS STONED.
! Camp Harris, Macon, Ga., Sept. 21.
e Following the refusal of the keeper
lol‘ a concession stand to award a prize
| of an alarm clock to a soldier, which
itire latter claimed he had fairly won,
!u small riot occurred tonight, at which
militiamen created such disorder that
!it was necessary to close the Macy
| Olymphic Shows, a small street carni
| val company showing opposite Camp
Harris.
For over an hour the mob spirit
ruled. Soldiers of every branch rop-‘
|rosvn((‘.(l at the camp roamed the‘
streets, raiding and wrecking conces-
Isiun stands and hurling stones at tlle{
| different shows. Even a candy stand,
lopvraw(l by two young women, wns‘
! not spared.
' So far as is known, no one was hurt
?oxcept a couple of negro women at
llavlwd to a plantation show. These
iwm‘o struck by stones and hri(-kl)ats.\‘
‘ihut not seriously injured. ‘
i The provost guard on duty at the
ipost made little effort to check the
idisnrdvl‘. the members of the guard
| even keeping their bayonets sheathed.
| Finally, officers of tne guard arrived
‘E and the disturbance was quelled with
|little effort.
; Tonights occurrence is the oniy dis
jordvr of a serious nature perpetrated
ihy the guardsmen since their arrival
|at camp and spoils a remarkably good
'lrword for proper behavior. Just what
| will be the result of the disorder is
| not vet known, but it is a general opin
|ion that the entire brigade will be
{m:nlu to suffer for the lack of disci
iplinv of only a small percentage.

|PECANS PLENTIFUL AND
i WILL BRING GOOD PRICE
i e
| Fitzgerald, Sept. 22.—Local pecan
lgrowers are elated over the prdbspect
| for a good crop of pecans this season.
| Several growers have already sold
Ethoir output for from 35¢ to 40c¢c per
| pound. Several large tracts are ex
y pected to be planted in pecans this
season and Mr. J. B. Seanor has about
a million trees ready to transplant.
Mr. Seanor and the late Judge C. M.
Wise planted several barrels of nuts
some years ago and now will reap a
harvest from their foresight.
The vercentage of urban population
in England and Wales has increased
and that of rural dwellers decreased
every time that a census has been
- taken in the last half century.
