DISCUSS DIPPING OP
CATTLE IN SCREVEN CO.
SYLVANIA, Ga., April 29.—Four
or five hundred citizens of Screven
county met at the court house here
yesterday to discuss the cattle dip
ping question. There has been much
dissatisfaction with the law this
S- 3 owlhg to the fact, on account’
1 ? 18 ***?* 18 the 4 third ^forcing ^ it that in the the past,
hav been peo
p e ® required to dip. Sev
eral , vats have been dynamited in
tl »e county in the past few months.
A nunqber of speeches were made
at the meeting yesterday and the
sentiment of the crowd was strong
against dipping. Dr. Bahnsen, State
veterinarian, ■ was present and heard
the criticisms and discussions, and
spoke at the conclusion of the meet¬
ing, explaining the law. After much
excited discussions, a motion was
passed that it was the sense of the
meeting that the people dip their cat¬
tle for the next fourteen days, after
which if the State inspector could
show them that there were any cat¬
tle ticks here, that they continue dip¬
ping until the end of - the season.
AMERICUS FORECASTS
BIG COTTON MOVEMENT
Thousands of Bales on Hand May Be
Disposed of if Scheme Evolved by
W. J. Josey is Worked Out.
AMERICUS, GA., April 29.—Thou¬
sands of bales of cotton held in Amer
icus warehouses may soon be disposed
of as a result of a scheme evolved
by W. J. Josey, a local merchant, and
somewhat akin to the buy-a-bale
movement which resulted in so much
benefit to the Souther* farmer dur¬
ing 1914.
Josey offers not only to accept cot¬
ton in exhcange for goods, but thou¬
sands of circulars distributed' in this
section by him bear the announcement
that he will take in barter any class
of farm produce, raised in Sumter and
the adpoining counties.
There is practically no demand
whatever for cotton at this time and
prevailing prices are very low. It is
expected therefore many persons will
dispose of their accumulated store to
Josey, who proposes to hold it until
a satisfactory level of value is at¬
tained.

FORSYTH HAS FINE
SCHOOL FOR NEGROES
FORSYTH, GA., April 29.— There
is probably no more progressive col
ored shcool than the one in Forsyth,
of which W. M. Hubbard is superin- j
tendent. The r of the shcool the j
purpose is
training of colored youth in
tional as well as literary branches.
The shod has been meeting with re
markable success along these lines |
and the scope of the work accomplish
ed is probably not appreciated by
many who live within a short distance.
of in the the shcool. department |
of vocational ag -1
riculture the school is doing much to -
train the coming generation of color¬
ed farmers. Widely diversified farm¬
ing is conducted under the supervis¬
ion of the school. Contracts are made
with the parents of pupils to the ef¬
fect that pupils will receive all profit
derived from their farming after ex¬
penses are paid and they are thus
encouraged in the work. The profit
resulting from the work during the
past year was $5,876.02.

BOSTON, April 29.—Dress re¬
formers of the present day, who de¬
plore the abbreviated skirt and the
peek-a-boo waist may be astounded
to learn that even in the good old
Puritan times the lure of Dame Fash¬
ion had a bewitching effect on the
young men and maidens. Researches
into the ancient laws of the Massa¬
chusetts Bay colony have revealed
that the fathers had -their own troub¬
les with their offspring who recog¬
nised a snappy style when they sav*
it.
