claimed Duckworth’s alleged confes
sion was caused by the officers mis

client to the effect “if you say I did
it I was drinking and don’t recollect
what I done, and if you have the
evidence to prove it like you say, then
I did it,” or words to that effect.

Big Airplane Industry In' Sumter
Aniericus. —Five million dollars will
be emended in constructing the first
of the Brennen-Deming dirigible air
planes, originated and patented by J.
I). Brennen, formerly a lieutenant in [
the air service here, and J. Walter |
Oeming, an enlisted man stationed at I
Souther field. Preliminary perinis- j
tsion for constructing the big new ;
type at Souther field has already been \
granted by the war department offi- '
cials, but these officials are now en- J
deavoring to have the plane built at
McCook field, near Dayton, Ohio. 1
Brennen sees many advantages in the
open winter climate which prevails
in Sumter county, and he will go this j
week to Washington in an endeavor j
to have the war department reverse
its decision. Building of the planes I
here means much to Americus and
Sumter county, as may readily be un
derstood when, it is known that 200
men working in three shifts o f eight
hours each, or twenty-four hours a
day, will require six months in which
to complete the first of the planes.
Sweet Potato Crop Valued Highly
Atlanta. The Georgia sweet potato
crop is worth from twelve to fifteen
million dollars per year. While the
acreage i« slightly less than that of
wheat, greater value per acre makes,
it a much more important crop. Prac
tieally every county in the state-grown
them for home use. In the
last five or six years the potato crop
has become a commercial crop of im
portance. The early season of 1!>18
was very favorable for the crop, but
the dry spell of August brought it
back to about the usual average. Re
cent rains have improved the crop.
