LLEE COUNTY GOES
OVER TOP IN PEANUT
ASSOCIATION SIGN-UP
Lee County became the seventh
county in the state to reach its quota
in the Georgia Peanut Growers Co
operative Association Monday, when
contracts pledging well above the 50
per cent mark were forwarded to
Leadquariers of the association at!
Albany. Each of the twenty—fivei
counties comprising the association
was asked to sign at least 50 per
cert of its 1922 peanut acreage.
Lee county had 4,504 acres of pea
nuts planted for the market last year
and the number signed up with the
co-operative association this year is
3,426, or slightly more ‘than 76 per‘
cent. Lee county always does its
part in a big way in every progressive
undertaking. Some of the biggest
farmers in our county signed con
tracts.
Since Lee:. went over, word has
been received that Toombs county
has also reached its minimum, mak
ing cight counties that are already
over the top. The others are said
to be making good progress.
Plans have been made by the Pea—'
nut Association to hold a “Victory
Week” drive from May 22 to May 29
during which it is hoped to put every
remaining county over the top and to
<well the totals of those that have
already gone over

Negro laborers to the number

of Georgia train at Leesburg
Saturday night and walked bhack
11 miles to Albany, where theyi
had boarded the train in the be
ijef that they were going to‘

said they had been recruited by
a labor agent who had promised
to meet the train at Leesburg
with their tickets. When this
laber agent failed to show up at
Leesburg, the conductor put the
negroes off.
The failure of the labor agent
to put in an appearance is believ
ed to have keen due to an intense
agitation against the recruiting
of negro labor in this section.
[t is believed the publicity given
to thiz movement frightened ofi
the agent.

Winburn Tells What
. .
Railways are Doing
What the railways are doing for
the public, and how the public can
assist the railways, is discussed in
interesting fashion in a statement by
President W. A. Winburn, of the
Central of Georgia Railway. He
says that the roads during three re
cent months carried the greatest ton
'nage in their history for any cor
responding period, and that they are
‘spending more than a billion dollars
for equipment and other facilities
during 1923. The railroads have
pledged themselves to place their
locomotives and cars in good repair,
to move their cars faster and further
and to operate as efficiently as pos
s:ble, so that reviving business may
no% be halted by any fault of theirs.
In return Mr. Winburn asks the‘
co-operation of the public by certain
simple and practicable moasures,‘
such as loading equipment to full
capacity; restricting so far as possi
ble reconsignment of traffic and
“order-notify’’ shipments; prompt un
loading of cars; increased storage
facilities; not ordering cars beyond
ability to load daily; and advance
coal storage and building programs
during the summer months.
The Central’y president declares
that the railways seek and need the
good will of the people, and ask the
public to have faith in railway man
agement, which is endeavoring to en
hance America’s material properity.
Frozen Hydrogen and the Same
Element Liquefied Produced
in the Bureau of Standards,
A small quantity of frozen hydrogen
and about two quarts of the same ele
ment liquefied were produced at the
bureau of standards. in a successful
test of liquefying apparatus conduct
ed by C. W. Kanolt.
This represented the result after
chilling many thousangd cubic feet of
the gas down to a point close to abso
lute zero.
Several experiments were made with
the hydrogen ice and liquid later be
fore the Washington Philosophical so
ciety, a scientific organization, where
Mr. Kanolt exhibited the product.
The frozen hydrogen was described
as similar in appearance to Ssnow,
‘whlle the liquid was colorless.
Doctor Kanolt told his hearers that
a gallon of liquefied hydrogen was
made in about two hours at the bu
reau of standards. 'The experiments
there are on a larger scale than has
ever been employed hefore.
In his talk he said:
“The method is rather simple In
principle but involves practical diffi
culties which have interfered with its
extensive use. The purpose of the
bureau of standards has been first to
secure liquid hydrogen when desired
In very large quantities.
“The work at the bureau has been
facilitated by the development of &
method ‘of analysis by which very
small quantities of impurities can be
measured. After liquid has been ob
tained, it is comparatively easy to
freeze it by evaporating under re
duced pressure. The freezing point of
«the liquid is minus 259 degrees Centi
grade, which is 14 degrees above ab
- solute zero.”
. .1n order to liqufy the gas, a tem
perature of 253 degrees Centigrade—
about 420 degrees Fahrenheit—below
vero had to be attained. The hydro
gen ice began to form a few degrees
lower, at about 430 Fahrenheit below
Zero, :
All the low temperatures were pro
duced by expanding the gas Itself
after it had been compressed under
pressure of 3,060 pounds a square
ineh,. chilled by application of liquid
air and then allowed to expand.
Production of the liquid gases will
;e continued as a part of the bureau’s
experimental work in studying be
havior of materials and metals at very
iow temperatures.
Hydrogen has been liquefied before
in the United States, but teiperatures
lower than those induced in the proc
ess have only bewsi reached hitherto
in Europe, where helimm has been
successfully liquefied.
Absolute zero, represented by 273.1
degrees on the Centigrade scale and
hy 459.6 degrees on the Fahrenheit,
has thus been very nearly approached,
according to the above dispatch, Ab
solute zero represents the temperature
where there is an entire absence of
| heat and has never been attained by
man.
Women Must Pay Poll
Tax Only if They Vote
Matter is but a Simple
Procedure of Law, Says
; Attorney General.
Attorney General George M.
Napier states there is no mys
tery connected with the regis
tration of women yoters, but on
the contrary the law and the
procedure are very simple.
The legislature in 1922 passed
an act requiring women over
twenty-one vears of age to pay
a poll tax of $1 a year. The act
took effect in and for the year
1922, It provided, however, that
women should not be required to
pay the poll tax unless they re
gistered.
For a woman to register and
vote in 1923, Colonel Napier ex
plained, she must pay her 1922
poll tax. If she does not wish
to register she is not required to
pay a poll tax. The 1923 poll
tax will not be due until the fall
of the year, he further explained
need not be worried about at the
present time.
