Early in the night lie was taken with acute indigestion and died Wednesday morn¬ ing. Capt. Levy was born in North Caro¬ lina, but came to Georgia when a very young man. He was married about 45 years ago to Miss Camilla Carroll, of this county, who survives him. He entered the war at the beginning, serving through the four years and be¬ ing promoted to the rank of sergeant, and would have been promoted to captain had the war lasted a few weeks longer. Capt. Levy was the oldest member of the Masonic lodge in Covington, and one of the oldest Masons in the coun¬ ty. if not tlie oldest. He served as Master of the lodge here for about 20 years. He also participated in the meetings of the Grand Lodge, where i he was a recognized authority, until the past few years, when his health would not allow him to attend the meetings.

GEORGIA Jan. 27 1915. NEWTON LEADING IN GOOD THIS COUNTY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LEADER IN EVERYTHING GOOD AND IS NOW IN LEAD IN BEEF CATTLE. For many years this county has been in the lead in many different lines. Educational, farming, cattle, hog and chicken raising. The finest herds of Jersey cattle were found in this county. The Avon Tndian Jersey farm having some of the finest specimens of Jersey cattle in the entire South. In hogs, Jarman farm led with tli^ir Herkshires. The A\on Indian Farm. Cowan Brothers and others also had fine hogs. The above people exhibited at the big state fairs and always came away winners. Another line of stock raising was started here a few years ago when Mr. Evans Lunsford bought a small herd of Hereford cattle, the best beef cattle known. This was an experi¬ ment for Mr. Lunsford, and proved profitable, and the next year he bought, more for his herd. In his herds now there are over seventy-five head ma¬ ture cows and between sixty and sev¬ enty-five yearlings and suckling calves. Few people in this county realize that such a herd of cows exists in Newton county. Me has the finest that can he bought; going west to the beef eat tle countries and making his own se¬ lections. Last year he began the sale of Herefords in this state. Since he began his sales have increased rapidly and he has extended his business into South Carolina and Alabama, where he is as well known for the Hereford cattle he sells as in this state. Mr. Lunsford has proved that money can he made from the breeding of beef cattle in this country and that it is a safe as well as a profitable in¬ vestment. He owns a large plantation, but lit¬ tle of the land is devoted to the rais¬ ing of cotton. He can make more mon ey from the breeding of beef cattle than can be made at cotton raising if it sold for 12 cents a pound, The time has come in the South when a change is absolutely necessary to the fanner. Cattle, hogs and food stuffs will have to take the place of a lot of the cottou land and cotton rais¬ ed. not as a leading crop, but as a side line. The price of beef cattle and hogs is increasing every year and the ones who start early will reap the largest benefits along these lines. Mr. Luns¬ ford has already started and the low price of cotton does not hurt him so much. We merely use him as an illus¬ tration of what can be done here. Hereford cow s are new to a great many people. They are the acknowl¬ edged leaders in the beef class and with this class of cattle there is no good reason why the South should not compete with the West in the raising and marketing of beef cattle. The Hereford will mature at an early age and at a profitable weight, and can be maintained on less than the average “scrub” cow. The reputa¬ tion of the Hereford as the healthiest of all the beef breeds is too well known among breeders to need any proof. The records hear out the claims that these cows are practically free from tubercu¬ losis. Mr. Lunsford is a Hereford enthu¬ siast. He has made it a study for the past several years and is no doubt the best posted man in the state on this breed of cattle. He is always glad to show you his cows and takes pleas¬ ure in explaining the different breeds of beef cattle. It is a pity that Newton county and the state does not possess more men who are willing to let cotton alone as a leading crop and raise beef cattle and hogs. The money is there for all who will take up these lines and the time has come when diversification of crops is a necessity. FREE BOOK ON STOMACH ILLS Geo. H.

GEORGIA PRODUCTS BEGINS OPERATION AND HANDLE PERISHABLE UCTS, BUT NOT COTTON. Atlanta, Ga.— (Special) —“Co-opera¬ tion begins at home. By far the most ■ the way of pushing the great “made in U. S. A.,” movement for the people of Georgia, is to consistently and insistently and persistently buy Georgia products first, last and ail the time,” said C. J. Haden, President of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce recently in discussing the state wide work of organization. “In the last analysis,’ continued Mr. Haden. “the main work of the Georgia Chandler of Commerce lies in exploit¬ ing the resources and advantages of the state of Georgia. We are teaching our people to realize that Georgia grows and manufacturers everything necessary for the comfort and well-be¬ ing of her 2,800,000 inhabitants. We are also asisting the producer in Geor¬ gia to find a ready market for his pro¬ ducts. This two-fold educational cam¬ paign had its inception in Georgia Pro¬ ducts Day.” “It is pointed out that this construc¬ tion work ori the part of (ho Georgia Chamber of Commerce ie bearing fruit in various ways. Recently there was announced the organization of Geor¬ gia Products Company, by R. <7. Coch¬ ran in Atlanta. This, and similar con¬ cerns do a wholesale busines, under¬ taking to handle nothing but perish¬ able goods raised on 'Georgia farms. They will no thandle cotton. The whole idea is to originate distinctively Geor¬ gia enterprises to help the Georgia pro¬ ducer and middleman find ready mar¬ ket for his farm yield.. The Georgia Products Company and sister concerns will also enter the retail business in a limited way, handling pickles, candy, bread, and other goods made in the Empire State of the South. “In case these eo-oiierating commis¬ sion merchants fail to find a cash market for ]>ens, corn. hay. hams, etc., in Georgia cities and towns, they " ill ship the products to other stales and in this manner afford the producer ev¬ ery opportunity to realize a profit on his goods. In order to facilitate busi ness they will handle products in car load lots, or in similar shipments -this applying both to the merchant and the former patrons. “We thoroughly appreciate the fact that if anyone in Atlanta or elsawher* in Georgia should wish to buy Georgia raised ham or water-ground meal, or most any other product, he would find difficulty in locating them for the sim pie reason that he v- ould not know where to look for them. We eypect to put f‘ rth our best efforts to relieve this situation, said the promoter of one of these leading companies re cently. MR. PAI L B. STOWERS DIES AT CONYERS HOME Mr. Paul B.

Clar¬ ence Kiunerly, R. F. D. 1, ESCAPED CONVICT WAS CAUGHT HFRE ROB JONES, ESCAPED FROM GWINNETTE CAMP, IS CAUGHT HERE AFTER A FIGHT WITH SHERIFF HAY. Sheriff Hay had a lively fight one af¬ ternoon last week, when he arrested Bob Jones, an escaped convict from the Gwinnette county camp. Sheriff Hay received a notice from the warden of the Gwinnette camp that this man had escaped and was I thought to have come in this direc¬ tion, as he had relatives in Newton county. Sheriff Hay located the negro lust Thursday morning and in the after¬ noon. accompanied by Deputy T. F. Maddox, went to arrest the negro at the home of Martha White, a negro in the edge of town. The negro showed fight, but the sher¬ iff overpowered him and got him down on the ground. The negro then said that he would give up and the sheriff lot him up to handcuff him. Then the real fight began, and before Deputy Maddox arrived the sheriff and tne negro were having a fierce fight. When Maddox arrived lie had to hit the negro with a rock twice before he could be managed. Two large knives were taken from him and lie was brought to the county jail. Warden Nash, of Lawrenceville. came for the negro Friday and carried him hack through Atlanta, and it is reported here that Warden Nash had trouble with him in Atlanta, the ne¬ gro breaking the handcuffs and it took two policemen and Nash to over¬ power him. Sheriff Hay was not seriously hurt, though he is still nursing some mighty sore muscles and bruises. A reward of $25 had been offered for the negro and Sheriff Hay thinks he earned the money in making the arrest. INFANT OF MR. AND MRS.

ONE COW TO 87 ACRES. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 25.—That Geor¬ gia could supply the whole world with cotton if not another state raised any is the rather startling sidelight on the state’s crop brought out by an Atlanta man with a head for figures. He esti¬ mates it this way: Georgia contains 37,000,000 acres. The total acreage in cotton last year was about twenty million. But on that basis it would mean that seme rather expensive city property would have to be converted into cotton fields. Here are some other facts about Georgia that he dug up: Georgia's crops for 1910 amounted to $220,000,000 ,and 66 per cent of this was cotton. There were 295,000 farms in Geor¬ gia averaging 92 acres each. Fifteen thousand of these farms had not a domestic animal on them. There was one chicken for every 7 acres of land. One dairy cow for every 87 acres, one sheep for each 175 acres, one mule for every 84 acres. And only one bushel of corn raised for every acre in the state. There will he more corn than that this year, or .he state will be worse off than now. VIKEN, MCDONALD AND ROBERTS NEW MULE FIRM Messrs. Wood Aiken, H. B. McDon¬ ald and W. R. Itoberst have formed a partnership and have started busi¬ ness in the stables occupied for the past several months by Aiken & Mc¬ Donald • The new firm will handle mules and horses. They will buy, sell and trade and u'ill make a specialty of good mules, which they will keep on hand all the time. The above three men are all well known and will no doubt enjoy a good patronage in Covington and Newton County. CARD OF THANKS I want to express my thanks for the expressions of sympathy and the beautiful flowers sent to tbe funeral of my brother lust week by the boys ir. Covington. JOHN STOWERS.
