STATE HAPPENINGS
Augusta —The South lost one of its
£ far-tamed “unreconstructed rebels'
Miss Mary Hall, 80 years old died
'.' the University hospital here, follow¬
ing | in attack of paralysis. Confed
! conspicuous figure at every
: veterans’ reunion held in the
prate than twenty years, Miss
couth in more better known than
f ti., 11 was probably Civii War. Dimin
nv survivor of the
uitive of figure and of a delicate phys
‘ and bearing was stamped
■ her face pride
with that unconquerable best
known to past generations. small Confeder¬
Mis« Hall has worn a
ate Hag in her hair since the days of
the Civil War. She was a fainthful and
loyal member of Camp 4J5, United Con¬
federate Veterans, and on all holiday oc¬
casions, and at reunions here and else¬
where in the south, she was a brave, yet
I pathetic, figure in her uniform of gray, with
as she valiantly tried to keep step
other survivors of the lost cause.
The fact that the season this year
has been favorable for apples has been
reflected in the orchards of Monroe
county, and there are a number of cit¬
izens Who will realize a profit from their
apple trees. Mr. L. A. Ponder has sev¬
enty horse apple trees which are bear¬
ing’ a fine quality of hundred fruit, which bushels. will
amount to about one
Mr. Ponder has already shipped fifty
bushels, twenty-one of which went to
one party.
Macon.— Father Joseph Winklereid,
under whose pastorate St. Joseph’s Ca¬
thedral, one of the finest churches in the
South, was -built, died at Shreveport,
La., last Thursday, according to a tele¬
gram received here. He was a native of
England and was rector of St. Joseph's
for 18 years.
Tifton.—The first hale of cotton ex¬
clusively grown in Tift county, of the
crop of 1922, was ginned at Omega
Monday night, just seven days after
the first Georgia bale for this year was
ginned at the same gin.
Brunswick.—The City Commission
held a meeting Thursday for th& pur¬
pose of devising ways and meahs for
the laying of a permanent road to St.
Simon Island.
There are several tentative plans un¬
der consideration, and it is problemat¬
ical which one the commission will rec¬
ommend. A bond issue is planned to pay
for the laying of the road and the con¬
struction of a necessary bridge.
Monroe.—The home of Mr. James H.
Studdard at Harmony Baptist church
was destroyed with most of its contents
Tuesday night. The family was absent
from home at the time, Mrs. Studdard
being in Atlanta and Mr. Studdard and
his son being in attendance upon ser¬
vices at Harmony, which is just across
the road from the home.
Some one at the church discovered a
light in the house, hut it was not known
that the house was on fire'until several
minutes later. Protracted services were
in progress at Harmony, with a large
crowd in attendance. The door of the
church had been opened just before the
alarm was given, and a scene of the ut¬
most quiet and solemnity was soon
changed to one of confusion, as the con¬
gregation rushed from the building in
an effort to be of some service at the fire
The home and a large part of its con¬
tents were a total loss.
Athens.—Miles Flanigan and Joe
Reeves, two local lads, left Monday
morning in a canoe, bound for Darien,
Ou., via the Oconee and Altamaha rivers
They will be gone for about two weeks,
and will take with them a camping out¬
fit in which to spend the evenings along
the river hanks.
The canoe used was made by the
boys. It has been named the “Boll Wee
vi'". “Rex”, a dog, will go along as
mascot.
Valdosta. —What intelligent cultiva¬
tion and systematic poisoning with cal¬
cium arsenate will do for sea island cot¬
ton, the growing of which was thought
to be eternally doomed when the boll
weevil invaded this section four years
3go. is adequately shown at the sea is
lami cotton experiment station near Ha

R- M. Gaddis, director of the station,
.
m addition to the experimental check
pliJs. hjj.s a 15-acre field of sea island
cotton, which expert cotton growers be¬
lieve will make a bale to the acre. The
•'eed planted by Mr. Gaddis is of an
e ‘ u '!' maturing variety, which repre¬
sents a growing period several weeks
shorter than sea island cotton has for¬
merly required. The stalks are now bend

Bix dustings of calcium arsenate have

ost of the poison amounting to a little

( 'lunswick.—A warrent charging lar-
1 lly 01 'iti automobile has been
sworn
, v Mrs. W. H. Eundberg against
mane ■' r husband, Tuesday who disappeared from
1 ‘“* 11 four night, carrying with him
year old daughter, Marjorie.
Villen. —Jenkins county seems to
th' ont e enter<J d the Production prize-winning of watermel- jelass in
* this Veor. The average production
1 ,. of shipping melons is 360. W.
Brinson and Dr. W. A. Mulkey
a e exceeded that average by 80, hav-
ing 4,400 melons from ten acres. One
of their carloads averaged 38 pounds,
and is probably the finest car of melons
shipped from Georgia this year. They
have placed melons in nine different
cars, none of them averaging less than
20 pounds. These melons were all ship¬
ped through the middle Georgia Melon
Association. They will, no doubt, make
additional shipments of smaller melons,
which the association will not accept,
in an independent way.
Monticello.—Beginning last Friday
morning and extending through Sunday
occurred the annual meeting at Ozias
Primitive Baptist church, near White
house. On Sunday at 11 o’clock Elder
Phillips, a prominent minister of this
denomination, delivered a fine sermon
to the large audience which had gath¬
ered for the day. Eider A. C. Elliott,
pastor of the church at this place, had
charge of the arrangements for the
_ ! meeting.
j In the afternoon they observed the
[ communion, or foot-washing service.
which- event is always attended by a
; large crowd.
Savannah.—E. M. Colley, of Hapeville
mail clerk for the past ten years on the
Central of Georgia trains, "Atlanta-Ma
con-Savannah line, is resting well fol¬
lowing an operation at a hospital here,
performed to remove a bullet imbedded
in his hip when a pistol he carried in
his car was dropped on the floor of the
station and accidentally discharge^.
X-ray pictures, it is stated, indicate
.hat no bones were shattered.
Atlanta.—Mrs. Grace Wilson Stem
bridge, 22 years of age, of 204 Cooper
street, took her own life Thursday after¬
noon at six o'clock by drinking lysol.
She was found in an unconscious con¬
dition by her husband, W. H. Stem
bridge, when he returned from work.
He immediately called the ambulance of
H. M. Patterson and Son, and she was
taken to the Piedmont Sanitarium.
Her husband and other occupants of
the house say they are not able to
account for her action, as she had been
in excellent spirits. Mrs. H. J. Nolan,
wife of Dr. Nolan, who lives in the
apartment next to the Stembridgep, sta¬
ted that Mrs. Stembridge had seemed
to be unusually cheerful Thursday.
Augusta.—One of the most unusual
cases of theft that has ever been perpe¬
trated here occurred when a negro pas¬
senger stole a bag containing 200 street
car tickets from Conductor Tom Clyatt,
of the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Elec¬
tric Corporation.
According to reports the conductor
had placed the bag containing the tick¬
ets over the door in the car just as the
car reached Steedley’s crossing, where
it stops for the conductor to flag the
crossing. The negro, seeing the conduc¬
tor put the bag there, and thinking it
was a bag of money, grabbed it, jumped
from the car and ran before the con¬
ductor could get back to the rear plat¬
form. The identity of the negro is not
known.
Atlanta.—Dr. Rufus W. Weaver, pres¬
ident of Mercer University, Macon, has
been appointed by Governor Hardwick
to be a member of the State Board of
Education, to fill the place of Dr. M. M.
Parks. Dr. Parks, it will be recalled, has
been selected by the governor to suc¬
ceed Dr. M. L. Brittain as state super¬
intendent of education until Dr. Brit¬
tain's successor has been elected.

SOMETHING NEW IN GRASS FOR
NEWTON
Not the grass that farmers have been
trying all their lives to kill, hut tne
right grass in the right place. It never
happenned before in any southeastern
state, but last August Georgia fa. -
mers rode at least ten thousand miles— 1
•
rode that is, more than a thousand of them j
an average of ten miles each—to !
look ai grass.
Ten thousand miles of road travel to |
a circus or barbecue is not unusual, but
these farmers went to learn how to
grow grass, and took an eager interest
in what they were shown and told
about some grass, new to most of them,
which will make permanent pastures in
this section as good as any in the coun¬
try. Two years ago you could hardly
have coaxed these men across the road
to look at grass, unless you promised to
show them how to kill it.
But they knew that good pastures
would produce beef, milk and pork
cheaply, and were attracted by the an¬
nouncement of meetings on about forty
farms in different parts of the state,
where permanent pastures had been
started with grasses that will give good
grazing for at least eight or nine months
of the year.
They were convinced by what they
saw and what they were told by Mr.
Paul Tabor, of the Georgia State Col¬
lege of Agriculture (upon whose knowl¬
edge of glasses and careful study of
their adaptibility to this section, the
Central of Georgia Railway Company’s
Test Pasture work was founded) that
they might have pastures equally as
good; and practically everyone who
owns some moist land suitable for pas¬
ture sowed some of the seed recommen¬
ded the following spring, and will be
back again to attend the meeting this
year to see what improvement has beep
made in one year. Every one of the pas¬
tures made a great increase in growth
between the time of the 1921 meeting
and frost, and are now well worth going
to see again, for they are furnishfcg
grazing which will pay dividends equal
to, if not surpassing, lots of field crops.
The meeting for Newton county will
be held on the farm of Mr. A. J. Bel¬
cher, near Starrsville, on Friday, Aug.
4th, at 3:30 P. M., and everyone who
has any need for a pasture is especially
invited and urged to attend, hear Mr.
Tabor talk on pastures and how to make
them, ask questions, and get advice as
to how best start pastures of then’ own.
Without good permanent pastures,
(the source of the cheapest feed for live
stock) we can not hope to compete with
other sections in livestock raising, and
these Central of Georgia Test Pastures
are really—as indicated by the headline
—something new. The meetings to be
held on the test pastures ai’e an oppor¬
tunity to get the latest information on
this comparatively new but very valu¬
able method of making a farm earn in¬
creased profits.
