EICHELBERGER HAS
WARRANT FOR MAKER
OF "SPY” AFFIDAVIT
ATLANTA, Ga., July 15—Dr. G.
W. Eichelberger, superintendent of
the Georgia Anti-Saloon League, Sat
urday morning answered the affidavit
of P. C. Miller, formerly a detective in
the employ of E. O. Miles, superin
tendent of the National Bureau of
Investigation, 314 Healy Building,
charging him with attempting tJ
secure evidence against T. B. Felder,
by causing the arrest of Miller on a
municipal court warrant, charging
false swearing and by Issuing a brief
statement characterizing the affdavit
as a document in which “Felder
Praises Felder Through the Mouth of
Miller.”
Shortly after the warrant for Mil
ler’s arrest was taken out and offi
cers had gone in search of the de
fendant, he appeared in the criminal
“BUY IN AMERICUS”
You Should Be As Loyal To Your
Trade Territory As You
Are To Your Name
The Americus concerns listed below, conscious of the fact that thous
ands of dollars are being sent out of this territory for goods that can be bought
at home, have launched a campaign in the hope that it will create a stronger
feeLng of community interest—a sentiment most vital for the prosperity of
the entire Americus trade territory. In bold type, you therefore read the slo
gan that they propose to popularize— ’’BUY IN AMERICUS.”
It is the purpose of the progressive concerns whose names appear on
this page, to present arguments of such convincing nature that the people of
this commur ity will respond thereto with the result that they will make a
solemn pledge to first endeavor to get what they need from home merchants
before sending their money to mail order houses.
t
The time for the consideration of this question could not be more op
portune than the present. “Preparedness”—the watchword of the United
States—should begin at home, and can be exemplified in no more far-reach
ing manner than by a real co-operation in this vitally important “Buy In
Americus” movement. It is a thought that should be taken to heart and
given consideration by every person who earns their living in or owes their
success to this community.
This campaign is launched in the firm belief that the people of this
community wid follow’ the dictates of their good sense, and bring the “Buy-
In Americus” movement to an actuality that will be of vast benefit to this
entire territory.
The “Buy In Americus” movement is no selfish propaganda of these
progressive concerns who have combined in a co-operative effort to bring
about a change in existing conditions. It is a community appeal. They urge
that you read the brief message that they will give you each Sunday through
the columns of the Times-Recorder. They invite you to give careful con
sideration to the facts they will present. To talk this matter over with your
friends. If you do, results will follow.

surrendered himself.
The hearing was set for 10 o’clock
Monday morning before Judge Lu
ther Z. Rosser, Jr.
Dr. Eichelberger saw the handwrit
ing on the w'all, and. believing that it
was his scalp or Tom Felder’s, hired
detectives to spy upon the well known
Atlanta attorney and former counsel
for the league, according to an affidavit
released for publication Friday by P. C.
Miller, who has been connected with
the National Bureau of Investigation
in Atlanta.
When it became evident that the
evidence he secured against blind
tigers was not to be used, and that
bis only value was to be in securing
evidence that would “stigmatize”
Mr. Felder and reflect upon his char
acter, he says he quit, and notified
the attorney of the matter in which
he had been employed. He claims
that Dr. Eichelberger was particularly
anxious to learn if Felder had been
drinking in the Transportation or
ether clubs.

The chords of “Auld Lang Syne”
were touched in Harry Morey’s hear:
the other day, when upon opening his
morning’s stack of mail he cams
across one letter that took him back
to childhood and its associations. The
letter was but one of the daily re
quests sent in for the Vitagraph star's
photograph from people he has never
met, but in this case the postmark was
that of his native town of Charlotte,
Mich., and that made it to him par
ticularly intimate and appealing.
“Some burg, Charlotte, some burg'”
said Morey, smiling in reverie.
The request for the photograph, by
the way, was written across a news
paper clipping of the movie hero’s pic
ture and read: “I want to exchange
this for a better one. Your picture
looks good to us here in your boy
hood town.”
Morey is now working under the di
rection of William P. S. Earle, in “The
Battle Cry of War,” a sequel to the
big preparedness spectacle, “The Bat
tle Cry of Peace.” The story is being
filmed under the personal supervision
of Commodore J. Start Blackton.
WHAT TO PUNT WHEHE
FLOOD' DESTBDVED CROPS
ATHENS, Ga., July 15.—Numerous
inquiries coming to the Georgia State
College of Agriculture about what •: >
plant where floods have destroyed
crops, has led President Andrew M.
Soule, of the College of Agriculture,
to issue a statement to the press. He
urges that farmers make immediate
preparations to re-plant the flooded
areas. Ample time remains to grow' a
good crop of hay or forage and in
some parts of the state, a crop cf
grain as well.
President Soule says: “One of the
best crops to seed this late in the
year is foxtail millet, of which there
are several varieties. oCmmon fox
tail, German, Hungarian and Siber
lan, all do well in this state. Two
pecks to an acre is the amount usually
sown.
‘Another good forage crop that ca.i
be produced is a combination of Early
Amber sorghutn and an early matur
ing variety of cowpeas, such as whip
porwill. Twenty pounds of sorghum
and 3 pecks of peas make a good
planting mixture.
“A number of early maturing varie
ties of soy beans, such as Acme, Ito
san yellow, Hollybrook and Wilson
which are excellent varieties for late
seeding. From 1 to 1 1-2 bushels are
required for broadcasting.
“A quick-maturing cariety of corn,
such as is grown further north, wid
probably have time to mature in most
sections. Hickory King is an excellent
variety.
Turnips and late Irish potatoes can
be grown. If there is no ready market
for turnips they can be fed to stock to
advantage.”

NIGERIA HAS TROUBLE IN
LAND BECAUSE OF WONDER
LONDON, July 15.—Nigeria has
trouble on its hands in the person of a
negro who styles himself Elijah the
Second. Ostensibly a convert to
Christianity, he has cut adrift from
the missionaries and is running a
spurious form of Christianity on his
own account. According to an official
who has reached England from ths
region where his converts are most
numerous they already number more
than a million out of the 17,000,000
natives in Nigera.
He claims to work miracles and does
not even draw the line at raising peo
ple from the dead. He finds a par
ticularly profitable source of revenue
in selling water which he pretends to
have endowed with magic healing
powers.
But what is causing the authorities
most concern is the new doctrine
which the black Elijah is proclaiming.
It is that the blacks are now the
“chosen people;’’ that they are destin
ed to oust the whites and inherit the
choice places of the earth.
