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 & /féadl%‘rw?’],eu Qounty Ga., FPriday MAY 11, 1925 (Negro Labor Gang Is 0t TifinWhea Agent Doesn’¢-Come i D s 132 Blacks Are Fooled by Recruiter Who Fails to Show up. Conductor Puts Them off At Leesburg for Walk to Albany. Negro laborers to the number of 132 were put off a Central of 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‘ Steubenville, O. The negroes 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. ~ Figures given out by local rail road officialsindicate that negrdes ‘have heen leaving this section at rate of 300 a month, These figures would indicate akout 1,200 laborers taken away from this section recently. The exodus has made serious inroads on the farmers of this s.ction. man) >f whom are unable to carry on more than half the farm work laid out for the season.

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. Beards Only for Kings and Nobles.
