TURNER COUNTY PLAN
POPULAR IH SOUTH
Diversification Program of Geor
gia County Attracts Nation-
Wide Attention
ATLANA, June 30, —If Turner
county, one of the average rural
counties down in the wiregrass sec
tion of Georgia, can pull out of the
hole the boll weevil has put South
ern agriculture in with the cow,
hog and hen, Georgia agriculturists
assert, it stands to reason that
other counties in Georgia and in
other states can p.rofit by adopting
or at least giving the Turner coun
ty program a try-out.
Briefly, the program was to use
pure bred stock where possible, but
by all means good stock; every farm
in the country to produce for mar
ket all the milk, butter and cream,
chickens and eggs possible; to pro
due all the food for family and
animals, and the result is that this
county is attracting nation-wide at- i
tention.
The county is in a phenomenally
prosperous condition considering ;
the plight in which the boll weevil
put it two or three years ago. The
creamery at Ashburn, the county
seat, the largest town, and with a
population of only 2,500 is doing a
tremendous business with good pro
fits to itself and to the farmers fur
nishing the cream.
Os course the dairy products and
hogs are marketed on the coopera
tive plan, the plan which has proved
very profitable to farmers in many
sections of the county, and the dai
ry products are marketed through
th,e creamery, and they propose to
increase cream production to 100,-
000 a month during 1923.
The 1923 program also includes
the increase of the members of the
poultry, pig and canning clubs; to
increase the membership of the
farm 'burau organization; to have
a permanent pasture on every
farm; increase acreage production
twenty-five per cent; to establish
good Schools throughout the coun
try, and to place two hundred new
farm families in the county.
Other Georgia counties, notably
Butts and Wilkes counties, haVe
adopted the cow, hog and hen pro
gram, and it is believed, in time,
that every Georgia count will in
augurate a program of diversified
crops which will add millions to the
wealth of the state.

The Disease That Strikes Like
Lightning
Beware of indigestion—the dis
ease that kills more people and
kills them quicker than any other.
This warning, by physicians, is par
ticularly applicable this season of
the year, when your system “lets
down” in tone’ and vigor with the
first approach of warm weather.
What are the warnings that na
ture gives vau of the approach of
indigestion? The medical books tell
us: 1. Gas, which means that your
food is fermenting instead of di
gesting. 2. A feeling of fullness or
oppression in the region of the stom
ach after eating. This means that
the gas has ballooned your stom
ach and is pressing up against your
heart and lungs. 3. A dull, lazy
feeling, which means that you are
not getting the nourishment from
what you are eating. 4. Restlessness,
unrefreshing sleep, which means
that the poisons of indigestion are
disturbing your brain and nerves.
5. Sometimes, pain and fluttering
around the heart, though this symp
tom may com later.
Don’t take chances with indiges
tion—you are too apt to lose. If you
have had any of the symptoms men
tioned above, get your digestive
organs to work at once with Dan-
Nax, the greatest prescription that
was ever written for a digestive
tonic. Dan-Nax immediatelv aids and
assists every one of your digest
ive organs, including the stomach,
liver and bo els. Dan-Nax makes
your digestion “perfect and com
plete.” You 'feel its helpful effect
from the yerv first dose. Get a bot
tle of Dan-Nax today at any drug
store. Dan-Nax is so much superior
to any other remedy for indigestion
that the manufacturers have in
structed every druggist to refund 1
the price if you do not get relief 1
so it costs you nothing if you are 1
not delighted with results. Delay
might be dangerous, get Dan-Nax |
today.—Advertisement.

OVER RYLANDER PICTURE
John Lineion, motion picture re
viewer is very enthusiastic over
“The Children of Dust,” playir.; at
they Rylander theatre today and
Tuesday and the following is part
of the opinion of the picture
"How can I pin emotion vith
a pen? Or say why I cheered and
nearly cried? it was just
a motion pictbi" Wf 8 we’ve all
seen hundreds. Yet—w"i what did
I see in ‘Children of Dust?’
“Three children, a boy and girl
of wealth playing i»> priv.lte
grounds in Gramercy Park; aild,
hungrily watching through the rails,
the ragged urchin Terwillinger. A
bruised little fellow. Like a str iy
dog he joined them, adoring the
pink- and.whiteness, the very phe
nomenon, of the girl.
“Let’s leave the screen to tell the
rest in measures of drama, human

In l additon to these two depart
ments, our examination covered tax
collector’s office, sheriff’s and
clerks. All revenue and expense
from these last named departments
are correctly reflected in county
treasurer’s statement above.
We found that the tax col
lector had, in his various tentative
settlements for state, county, gen
eral school, local school, and pub
lic service corporation taxes for the
current year, and in accounting for.
former years Lifts, made underpay
ments aggregating $67.75. and over
paymetns totaling $20.49, making
balance to be paid over of $47.26.
When we take into account the
fact that the total taxes collected
and paid over by him during the
twelve months—state, county,
schools, and public service corpora
tions—totaled $248,404.11, and
that he made partial settlements
from time to time with the state,
county Vnd fhools, we consider
the* small difierence shown by us
evidence of the care and accuracy
that has obtained in his office
throughout the year.
But when we state that his of
fice collected and paid over a frac
tion better than 98 per cent of
the total taxes turned over to it
for collection, we feel thqt great
credit is due to your tax collector,
and to the tax pavers of your coun
ty. The record—9B per cent of the
total digest, is one we have never
seen equaled. We havje often
heard Sumter referred to as one
of the “Banner” counties of the
state—this record is certainly in
keeping with its reputation. .
