'‘Nigger.and-Mule” System to
Give Way to Labor-Saving
Methods
ATLANTA, August 9.—lt is a
well established fact, according to
Georgia agriculturalists and ex
perts of the state agricultural de
partment, that the invasion of the
boll weevil and the heavy exodus
of farm labor in the cotton state,
have completely broken down the
old sytsem of cotton production in
the South. Reconstruction of the
agricultural industry along profit
able lines to the growers, it is as
serted, must be based upon a com
plete change in farming operations
for the future.
The most serious problem con
fronting the cotton growers, it is
declared here, is the extreme scarc
ity of labor with which to cultivate
a normal acreage of cotton and
other crops planted on the farms.
The ‘nigger-and-mule* system which
for 50 years, it is claimed, has not
only pauperized and broken down
the soils of the cotton belt but has
maintained the cotton-growing in
dustry in bondage of agricultural
slavery, has played out.
Proseperous farming in the fu
ture, farm experts say, will come
as the reward only to dilligent ap
plication and efficient manage
ment. The tractor for breaking
and pulverizing the soils, and the
riding cultivators for plowing the
crops, will take the place of the
one-mule plow of former days.
Experts here say that the cotton
farmers of the South must break
away from the primitive customs
and methods so long employed in
the expensive production of cotton.
When not more than eight acres to
the plow are planted in cotton and
cultivated economically with im
proved labor-saving machinery ag
riculturists claim, tho results will
be far more profitable under exist
ing conditions of over-cropping and
heavy expense of operation.
Two-thirds of every farm should
always be devoted to food and feed
crops under - a system of rotation
that will improve and enrich the
soils, in the opinon of officials at
the state agricultural department.

spilled on the carpet, as it always is when you have to
throw the coal into a door. And you can take the ashes
out without spilling a particle.

BEGIN HERE TODAY
Peter Pennington, detective, ?s
detailed by the government to
run to earth The Yellow Seven a I
gang of Chinese bandits. He sus- j
pects Chai-Hung, influential Chi
nese, of being their leader, Moni
ca Viney, is the sister of Captain
John Hewitt, Commissioner of
Police at Jesselton, British
North Borneo. Pennington, goes
to Ketatan after receiving a
letter from a rubber planter
named Brabazon. The daugh
ter of Chai-Hung lures Brabazon
into the garden of her father’s
home in Ketatan.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
A girl cams suddenly down the
path—a slim, youthful figure in
light blue, bordered with bands of
black, and, entering the shrine, fell
prostrate before the altar.
The man who had scaled the wall
extinguished his cigaret and crept
into a clump of bushes where he j
lay prone. For a space of many |
minutes Suey'-Koo—the daughter I
of Chai-Hung—bowed her head be
fore the bronze vases. Presently
she came slowly to her feet, at the
same time drawing a narrow, black
cylinder from a voluminous sleeve.
The head of the watcher in the
bushes jerked upward and the
Chinaman’s eye fell upon a naked
blade, flashing even in the dif
fused light of the little josshouse, a
knife that the harmless looking
cylinder had concealed.
A whistle came from the dark
ness beyond the pullisade, and
Suey-Koo slipped the dagger out of
sight. She passed the bush so
closely that a faint whiff of a al
luring perfume wafted to the nos
trils of the intruder. One of the
smaller gates swung open and an
Englishman with a broad handsome
face stepped through. Ho took the
tiny hands of the Chinese girl and
bent over them, then saluted her—
in the manner of the Westerners—
full on the lips.
From his hiding-place, the man
in greasy black heard the soft, coo
ing laughter of the girl, the deep,
easy tones of the Englishman as he
spoke to her. The moon stole be
tween the palm-trees, as they walk
ed together toward the screen of
oiled paper and woven cane that
serbed to keep the evil spi’fts from
the house of Chai-Hung ?.d then, |
as they paused in the center of the
flower-bordered path, a thing hap
pened that perplexed the unseen
onlooker strangely. The man in
white duck slipped both arms round
the girl, - drawing her to him; A I
truant ray of silver light fell across
her flushed cheeks as through lids
half-closed she loked up into her
lover’s face. Suddenly she pushed
him violently from her, her slim
right hand groping in the depths of
her sleeve. With a queer half-cry
half-sob, she disengaged the knife
that nestled in its glossy sheath—
and drew it with all the strength
she could command into the under
growth. A motment later she lay
weeping in the Englishman’s arms.
By a strange of chance, the
weapon struck & branch and drop
ped within a cornple of yards from
where the Chinaman lay.
With a weird, twisted smile, the
man stretched out a long, lean arm
and secured it. He looked up to
see that a hidden panel in the
screen had been drawn aside, re
vealing the face of Chair Hung,
hideously distorted until it resembl
ed that of a ghastly idol. The
panel closed., the lovers moved on
toward the and the mys
i terious inteloper rose noiselessly
; and crept afiter them.
The Englishman and the girl dis
appeared beyond the screen and, as
if at a given the deep tones
of a native gong rang out sudden
ly in the bla'.ckness. The China
man dropped instinctively, flatten
ing out until n othing was to be seen
above the lank grass into which he
had fallen, and the whole enclous
ure within the pallisade burst sud
denly into life, pattering with the
noise of bare and sandaled feet.
The Yellow Seven had called—
and the legions as the great Chai-
Kung converged on the trap into
which the white man had fallen,
eager for the sacrifice! Shadowy
forms swept on to the path and
vanished beyond the building and
presently a piercing scream broke
upon the night.
The Chinaman sprang erect and
dived behind the screen. In his left
hand he held an automatic pistol,
but the weapon with which he si
lenced the sentry at the door was
the knife in the glossy black sheath
that he had first seen in the joss
hobse in the fair hand of Suey-Koo.
To Brabazon—confident that the
Commissioner had driven the re
doubtable Chai-Hung into the jun
gle—there was something delight
fully intimate in this invitation to
drink tea—-in true Chinese fashion,
sitting on severe, high-blacked
I chairs before a black-wood table.
Suey-Koo drew him gently to an
inner room. Suddenly, a scream
of terror from the girl at his side,
i caused him to glance sharply round.
He stared in amazement into the
evil eyes of the great Chai-Hung.
His hands were folded over an'
enormous paunch, the corners ot I
| his mouth turned ominously down,
and he nodded his head like one of
those Chinese figures Brabazon had
seen in tea-shops.
“We meet again, Mr. Brabazon,”
he said smoothly, “and I can as
sure you, it is for the last time!”
Instinctively, but without hope
Brabazon’s hand shot to his pocket.
Ke had not thought to tome armed
to meet Suey-Koo.
“Your daughter was just show-I
ing me round,” he replied, forcing
a smile. It occurred to him a sec
ond later that it was rather an un
usual hour of the night to call any
where, and that, in any case, he
had no right to be on terms of ac
quaintance with the daughter of a
wealthy Chinaman.

TERRELL TAX RETURNS
SHOW SMALL DECREASE
DAWSON, Aug. 9—The total tax
returns of real and personal prop
erty in Terrell county this year as
compiled by Tax Receiver Baldwin
is $4,350,810, which i/a decrease of
$46,929 from 1922 valuations.
The decrease is mainly in cotton
returned for taxation, as there are
approximately 1,000 bales less this
year than last. Besides, a decided
decrease is shown in negro returns
for the town district, although the
Dawson district is the only one in
th.-! county which shows an increase
in tax values.

may be an atom, but the too
smallest is an electric fan.
