fF isht On Ratification Is
’ Still on, Attorney
’ ~Sam Nunn Says.
SAY STATE KILLED MOVEMENT
Are Merely Checking Over
~ Returns An Request
i Of McLendon. ;
ATLANTA, Deec. 13.—The fight
cver Peach County is on
just as long as there isan arm
to stand on or a leg to raise, ac
cording to attorneys represent
the Perry-Montezuma opponents.
“There is not a word of truth
in the report that anything likea
compromisewas made by us,’ said
Attorney Sam Nunn today speak
ing for himself and Attorney
Jehn B. Guerry. ‘‘We are merely
checking over and examining the
returns on the general election,
upon request of the Secretary of
State, to see just what there is
in it. We are not lound by any
thing this checking has shown or
may show, and we feel toand ex
pect to fight against the new
county, both in court and out of
court, just as long as we are alle
to stand. :
““We take the position that the
people of the State, Ly thkeir hal
lot, have killed the Peach County
movement and we expect to do
everything we can to keepit
killed.”’ ~
The men representing both
factions arestillengaged in going
over the returnsand probably will
be engaged a couple of dayslong
er on that work. Itis expected
they will make report of their
findings to Secretary of State
McLendon when they have com
pleted the check, and it then will
be" decided by Mr. McLendon
what form of final certification is
to be made to the Governor. If
the certification shows that the
votes legally returned and com
;piled are in majority for Peach
‘County a proclamation will issue
declaring the amendment a law:
if not enough have Leen shown
of the legally returned votes then
‘no certification will be made.

To Abandon Cotton
Is Folly, Says Winburn
Asserting that it is folly to aban
don cotton, as long as cotton is the
chief money ecrop of the south,
President W. A. Winbuan, of the
Jentral of Georgia Railway, announ
ces the publication of a pamphlet
setting forth the experiences of Geor
gia and Alabama farmers in fighting
the boll weevil. The pamphlet de
seribes, without attempting to say
which ™ method is best, or without
recommending one plan above
another, facts and figures as Lo the
plans of combating the weevil. .
Mr. Winbura says that the best
weapous in the fight against the
weevil are hard work and common
sense, which the farmer himself
must supply, but that the railway is
ready to co-operate by furnishing
authenic information that the farm
er may apply or adapt. This is &
part of the program of the Agricul
tural Department of the Central of
Georgia Railway, which since 1911
has teen making a study of practi
cal agriculture and placing the re
sult of its investigations at the dis
posal of the farmers in its territory.
The statement acknowledges that
the success of the department’s
efforts “has been due to the fine co
operation of ths farmers in Georgia
and Alabama and says thereisa
gratifying absence of hostility be
tween agriculture and transporta
tion. ;

Georgia apple and peach growers
are throwing away a lot of money
every year, says an Atlanta chemist
by failure to utilitize left-over and
off-grade fruit in the manufacture
of jellies, preserves, syrups, chutney
vinegar and evaporated fruit.
G’wan, Mr. Chemist, you may
know your laboratory but you’ve
missed a guess at a product from
