Professor John Craig, of Ithaca, X.
Y., head of the Emplre-Georgla Pecan
Co., and one of the recognized Ameri
can authorities on horticulture, talked
interestingly to the Herald of the
present and future of the pecau In
this section.
Professor Craig's company us Is
well known. Is now engaged In con
verting 4,000 acres of Dougherty
county lands Into pecan groves, the
tract being just south of the city.
Speaking of the future of the Indus
try, and the inevitable disappoint
ments which will now and then
eecountered, Prof. Craig said:
‘As It comes to me from observa
tion and contact with men Interested
In the development of land enteN
prises, I am forced to the conclusion
that interest In pecan culture Is
spreading. As a basic natural Indus
try It Is bount! to enjoy large popu
larlty. I do not close my eyes to the
occasional disappointments, born of
misconceptions and perhaps misinfor
mation. These are Incident to the
development of all kinds of enter
prises. more particularly, however, of
those which have soil and climate
coupled with management ar the con
trolling factors. In the case of the
pecan, I believe that the Industry,
properly managed. Is as sound for the
intelligent grower as It Is for the hon
est promoter.

Atlanta, Ga., December 29.—Docu
ments Indicating that In the name
alleged Christian missionary contribu
tions church-goers have been de
frauded throughout the South were
found yesterday on two pretended Ar
menians under airest here who gave
t'le names of Deacon Joseph and Arcn-
peacon John Bejan.
According to the papers on the men,
a large numbers of donors each con
tributed small amounts In cash. Their
papers indicated that they had also
been In England, France, Germany
and Bulgaria.
Joseph made a plea for mercy In
which he said:
" have sinned. You must all have
pity. 1 am a poor man and I was
tempted to beg. My country Is moun
tainous and the corn for a whole
family Is like that,” and Joseph Indi
cated two handfuls.
The men were arrested In Macon on
warrants sworn out by Joseph C. Ix>-
gan, secretary of Associated Charities
of Atlanta, but the police have not
yet IdentlAed them as members of the
Armenian party who made collections
In Atlanta for Armenian missions
which are alleged to have no real ex
istence.
As the pair confessed to making col
lections under the guise of Armenian
missionary contributions and using the
money themselves, ft epollce are hold
ing them pending Identification.
