PAGE FOUR 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. The Pinkston Co. J. J.

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. LEVY-MORTON CO.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. HE'S I WOLVERINE I I - OF L 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.” Mail and Passenger Service to Plains and Return.

COLORS 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.
