BROOKS COUNTY’S GOOD EXAMPLE By Intelligent Co-operation Aids Government in Great Work. We don’t say this with the spirit of reflecting upon the spirit j of our neighbors, but by contrast, we wish to point to the fact, that while other sections are dynamit ing vats and holding mas; meet ings to embarrass the govern- 1 ment in its tick eradication, good old Brooks county is going right ahead, with intelligent co-opera tion, and dipping nearly 100 per cent, of its cattle. It is almost inconceivable that some farmers! think they know better than the! government and attempt to resist j what has been proven to be the greatest blessing probably ever brought to the farmers’ door. Brooks is thoroughly able to set example and we are glad the good old county is proceeding to do it in a most substatial manner in the tick eradication campaign. We hope our neighbors will see their folly and fall into line. — Quitman Free Press. Three White Prisoners Escape, but Recaptured. Mcßae, Ga., May 19.—A dar ing jail delivery was perfected here Thursday when three white men in the county jail, prisoners from Wheeler county, made then escape by sawing two bars from a rear window. The men were, J. 0. Brawner, uuder sentence of 15 years for killing his brother in-law last fall, W. C. Dopson. under charge of burning the court house at Alamo, and Clyde Browning, convicted of burglary committed at Glenwood. In the absence of the sheriff and his son, Deputy Sheriff 11. M. Brown gave chase as thej men fled toward Gum Swamp, i He overtook them and captured Brawner after sprinkling him with two loads of small shot. Dopson and Browning reached the swamp, but Dopson ran into Mr. Daughtry, who was in swamp fishing, and was taken in charge, and Brow-ning found in a clump of bushes later by Depu tp Brown, and all three of the fugitives were soon returned to jail. Johnson County Wheat. Mr. J. T. Brantley, w'ho is one of the county’s most most pros- j perous and prominent citizens, j was in Wrightsville Monday mor- j ning and told the Headlight about his wheat crop this year. He said j that it was the best he had made j and about the best he had seen growing in the county. Others who had seen it corroborated the statement. The crop suffered some, but despite the dryness of 1 the weather he was proud of his - wheat crop this year.—Wrights ville Headlight. , Stock Industry Booming. Thomasville, Ga., May 21. From Grady county is reported ' the shipping during the past sea- 1 son of twenty-five cars of hogs and eight cars of cattle, besides a number that were sold and driven through the country, j That county is going largely into the raising of hogs and cattle for market and seems to be meeting with remarkable success. Large Shipment Tobacco Via Savannah to Allies. ! Fifty-six carloads of tobacco, i , supposedly for use of the armies ( of the entente allies, has arrived in Savannah for shipment to England. The tobacco in the . leaf and packed in bales, was shipped from Norfolk and is con signed to Liverpool, Bristol and ' Nottingham. It came here over the Southern Railway and will be transported to England in one of the steamers of the Walker- Armstrong steamer line. - Savan nah News. i I Branam Starts Term For Killing of Girl. Macon, May 30.—D. B. Bran jam, convicted of the murder of i Rosa M. Eubanks, has begun his 1 life term here. A motion for new trial had been filed the case, which was dismissed when the I Prison Commission announced that Branam would be allowed to ! serve the first year of his sen tence at the State farm. Branam neither knew the girl that he murdered nor when the j act was committed. He was in a drunken condition and firing at random on one of the principal streets of Macon from a speeding taxi. Ready Market for Quality. Marketing canned products is ino trouble if the goods are up to 'standard in quantity and quality, i Last year a dozen families that I know, by following printed di rections, canned with no personal help, and found a ready market in our stores and homes. I had about 300 cans of toma toes and peaches and 18 bottles of catsup. The 3’s sold readily at $2.50 per case of 24 cans. A few sold at two for 25 cents, and my price per dozen would have been $1.35. The 2’s sold for 95 cents per dozen, $1.75 per case; catsup at same rate. All my goods went direct to housekeep ers and the demand could not bi supplied. I would take a trip to engage them and delivery was easy. For beans this year I shall get 121 cents per can regardless of quantity, as they are more trouble to can, are eagerly sought for, and there is no commercial com petition. A lady stopped me on the street recently and engaged a case. Our merchants and house keepers prefer the home canned to the commercial goods, and I’m sure that high grade packs of popular foods will command a ' ready market at a paying price 'at any time or place. —Mary Julia | Stone, Haralson Co., Ga. in Farm Life. The “Staff of Life.” For such a long period has the growing of wheat been a princi pal occupation with man that its geographical origin is unknown. The Egyptians claim that it originated with Isis, while the Chinese claim to have received the seed direct as a gift from j heaven. The belief that it origi nated in the valleys of the Eu phrates and Tigris is more gener ally accepted than any other. The ancient languages mention wheat, and it has been found by the archeologists in the kitchens j of the prehistoric inhabitants of the Swiss Lake region. Farmers are Organizing. Reports that come to us from many parts of the country indi cate that farmers are forming and joining clubs to an extent never before witnessed. Sometimes it is the Grange, Sometimes it is the Union, or; similar organization of national j scope. In many places the clubs j are purely local—egg clubs, corn i clubs, dairy clubs, etc. Often the organizations are purely for j entertainment and instruction.— Farm Life.

No Checks Under SI Can be Legally Written. Though it is violated every day there is a law which specifically . says that no check can be written ; ■ for less than one dollar. Under the title of “Offenses against the currency, coinage,” etc., section 178 Criminal Code of ' the United States, the law relative to checks is made very plain. | Section 178 is as follow’s: “No person shall make, issue, circulate or pay out any note, j check, memorandum, token or ! other obligation for a less sum than $1 intended to circulate as money, or to be received or used in lieu of lawful money of the United States; and every person so offending shall be fined not more than SSOO, or imprisoned not more than six months or both.—Walker Co. Messenger. Gone, and Gone Forever. “Gone!” shouted the wildly excited individual, waving his arms in the middle of the street. A crowd gathered quickly. “Gone! Gone!” he shrieked again and yet again. “What’s the matter? Cashier eloped with your money?” "Wife run away?” “Lost a child?” “No, no, no! But it’s gone!” Fifty .seven people held their breath, anti then asked as one: What’s gone?” The excited individual became suddenly calm. "Yesterday has gone my friends,” lie said, with a glad smile, “and today is going. You may die tomorrow or today. Now, without loss of time, you should take out a policy of life insurance with my firm, the ” Then seven and fifty strong men seized him and bore him to the nearest horse trough. Florida’s “Jim Crow.” Teaching Law Invalid. St. Augustine, Fla., May 21. Judge Gibbs, of the circuit court, yesterday declared unconstitu tional the Florida law prohibiting white teachers from teaching in negro schools and negro teachers from teaching in white schools. He instructed the authorities to release the bondsmen of several sisters in charge of the convent schools, who had been held for violation of the law. Judge Gibbs ruled that the state had no power over private schools and could not. legally pro hibit a “superior” race from in structing an “inferior” race. Libel For Divorce.
