•Is that so? Is it a usual thing to
allow prisoners who are serving life

country attending family reunions, old
fashioned barbecues, gathering up seed

“Dunaway further deposes and says
hat Williams—a life-termer—is a trus

interest in things and is altogether a

Imply means that Williams is down on

Vith an automobile furnished by the

"If, as Superintendent Dunaway says,
jhis is nothing unusual, then the won

In this test they won first place and

DISAPPEARS FROM HOME
Relatives and friends in this county

the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Miss Johnson, it is stated, left home
with the intention of spending some
time with her grandfather, Williafm

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922.
TOBACCO BRINGS BETTER PRICES
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23.—Tobacco has
become firmly established in Georgia as
one of the money crops, according to ag¬
ricultural experts here. The newspapers
j from recenBy the markets had a broadside of reports
that had just opened
up. The sales reported, while not. indi¬
cating anything like wildcat prices,
were nevertheless encouraging, say the
growers. They were especially so, it is
pointed out, in view of the fact that
most of the tobacco is grown in weevil
infested territory where cotton oniy was
formerly grown, but where now but
little cotton can be produced.
Douglas, Valdosta, Nashville, Vidalia,
Hazlehurst, Tifton, Blackshear and Fitz¬
gerald are the center of tobacco activ¬
ities, which have now started a stream
of money coming into Georgia fro'm
their new sources of wealth.
The agricultural department of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail¬
way, which has taken unusual interest
in the tobacco movement in South Geor¬
gia, aiding growers in every way, both
in planting and in handling their prod¬
uct, points out the fact that the quality
of the Georgia leaf this year is, as usual,
prime. In fact, according to the state¬
ments of the raidroad experts, it F
even better than in former years. The
quality of the leaf, it is shown, improves
by experience in growing. The care and
skill attained by long experience, ex¬
perts say, will make tobacco a highly
profitable crop.
Prices Above Last Year
The yield, it was stated here today,
is quite satisfactory, on about the same
acreage as last year, but the prices on
the same grades are somewhat above
what were paid last year, while the
quality of the entire crop is better than
last year.
It is a noteworthy fact, acoording to
A. B. and A', railway officials, that the
prices ruled higher in Georgia on open¬
ing day than in other tobacco growing
states. And this is notwithstanding the
fact that the first sales do not include
the finest grades of the crop grown. The
lowest leaves on the fruit that are strip¬
ped from the stalk, and the second strip¬
ping, is generally the finest quality, it
is stated.
The prices paid on the opening day,
according to reports received here, rang¬
ed generally from five and ten cent's on
low grades to 79 cents for the finest
Georgia bright. South Carolina did not
seem to have fared so well. There 49
cents was the maximum paid on the
opening. Many farmers were said to
have been so dissatisfied and disappoint¬
ed with the prevailing prices paid there
that they withdrew their tobacco to
h8ld for higher prices.

A SHORT TALK
By J. Marvin Raat,
BIRD NOTES
David Thoreau, America's pioneer nat¬
uralist, once observed that a few birds
make the world a much more habitable
place for man. It might have taken a
Thoreau to record this fact, but the av¬
erage individual needs no other remin¬
der of it than the songs of the birds
themselves.
If we close our eyes a few minutes
and listen, we will sense a melodious
medley of bird notes emanating from the
surrounding tree-tops. These songs,
clearer and sweeter than Italian opera
or Irish lyrics, are to be had without
effort on our part, save for the listening.
Of course they are as common as the
air we breathe, and because they are
we sometimes forget momentarily that
they are about us, being broadcasted
for our benefit. But when we do remem¬
ber and time in with them, how soul¬
refreshing they are! They quickly trans¬
port us to another world, where troubles
vanish in song.
Many a weary mortal is lapsed into
'sweet repose at twilight by these Lyd¬
ian airs. The twitter of nesting spar¬
rows, the liquid note of the thrush, the
varied warble of the mocking bird—all
conspire to “soothe the rugged brow of
night” with peace.
It may be the birds are singing be¬
cause the toil ot the day is over and
'rest awaits their tired wings. If this be
true, they are none the less lively with
their music when day dawns with its
labors. They greet the day with a song,
and prolong its sweetness while they
'seek crumbs for hungry mouths and
stubble for nests.
The point is that they sing while they
work, and sing while they rest. Such
optimism is inspiring to man as he goes
about his larger job of establishing an¬
other kind of nest, and providing for
other hungry mouths.
The day may be long and the burden
unusually heavy, but shorter and lighter
they seem when tempered by the songs
of birds.
THE WILL OF A REAL MAN
In the files of the Surrogate’s court
in the county of New York is the will of
Leopold Perutz, a paragraph in which
reads:
“I cannot impress with sufficient ear¬
nestness upon my children the magni¬
tude of love and respect they owe their
mother, my beloved wife. Above all
things it is my desire that my daughter
and my son should cherish her and re¬
spect her and constflt and obey her in
all of the important questions of their
lives, and 1 ask them to remember that
only by observing this course of con¬
duct toward their mother will they
honor my memory.”
There is the best of authority in legal
practice for such an expression of sen¬
timent and admonition in a will. Law¬
yers always advise against inclusion pf
extraneous matter in legal documents,
and especially in wills, when such addi¬
tions obscure an intent and meaning,
and open an avenue for doubt in inter¬
pretation. But the paragraph quoted is
not of such character. Quite the reverse.
By its clear statement and unmistak¬
able message, it reveals the “mind of the
testator” and helps to illuminate the
entire document.
Aside from the legal aspects of the
matter, there is in these sentences the
suggestion of a reservoir of affection
and devotion to the wife and mother
the effect of which cannot be estimated.
Indeed, the author of the will by his
writing added to what he left to chil¬
dren and widow a heritage beyond cal¬
culation and estimate. Through their
lifetime the heirs must cherish in pride
and affection the memory of the father
and husband who honored his manhood
by including those eloquent words in
his last testament. And those who shall
come after likewise can find just pride
in the fact that they are joint heirs to
such a heritage.—Ex.
HINES AND FISH
BROTHERS-IN-LAW
"Probably it is not known by the
people of Georgia that Chief Justice
William H. Fish and Justice James K.
Hines are brothers-in-law. And both
are members of the same division of the
Supreme Court. So, as it now stands,
one family controls one division of this
court. We doubt the wisdom of such a
state of affairs. In fact, we are opposed
to it. It doesn's make any difference how
high-toned and honest men are, it is an
unwise procedure for one family to con¬
trol the function of a court.
“We understand that Judge Hines is
very active in supporting his brother
in-law, Judge Fish, for re-election. This
is to be expected, of course, but we feel
sure that the people will think a long
time before they turn one division of
their highest tribunal over to one family
“Judge Hines is running, but has no
opposition, and hence will be re-elected.
If Judge Fish is re-elected, this condi¬
tion will have to last for six years long¬
er, whether it suits the people of Geor¬
gia or not.
“Judge Richard B. Russell is an ex¬
alted jurist, thoroughly qualified to flU
the position of Chief Justice of the Su¬
preme Court, and we believe that he
ought to be elected. ‘Plain Dick’ Rus¬
sell made a splendid record as Judge of
Court of Appeals. He has no superior as
a judicial officer in the state, and we
believe the people are going to place
him on the Supreme Court bench.”—•
