es of Rural School Work.”

gram out of ithe ordinary, and it is
confidently expected next Tues

teresting ones yet held.
PROGRAM LAST TUESDAY
i
A VERY INTERESTING ONE
The question of peanuts and their
relation to prosperity, in every section
where they have been given a fair
trial, was thoroughly discussed at Tues
day’s luncheon of the Cartersville
Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. W. F. Nichols, who has recently
come to Cartersville, as resident man
ager for the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany, presided, and during the course
of the luncheon many interesting and
important facts relative to the peanut
industry were brought out.
A large crowd assembled for the
occasion, the guests including mem
bers of the Grand Jury, now in ses
sion, as well as other court visitors.
After a blessing had been said by
Mr. Henry Milam, an enjoyable menu
in which peanuts were daintily used
by Air. and Mrs. Omer in its prepafa
tion, Mr. Nichols called on Mr. J. E.
Carnes, cashier of the Bank of Ac
worth. He told Of how fhe farmers in
his section had found that peanuts
were a money crop, and were.as sure
and staple as cotton, while the returns
were, in many instances, larger, acre
for acre and cost of production being
figured.
Mr. Orlando Awtrey, of the Lemon
Banking Company, of Acworth, also
said his bank had found that peanuts
were a safe crop on which to make
loans and that farmers in his section
had come to look upon peanuts as a
very sdfe and satisfactdry crop.
Mr. E. S. McCoy, a farmer, was next
called upon, and in a plain, practical
way, he told about his experiences and
said he expected to increase his acre,
age this year, so successful had the
results been with him.
"I find I can make better money,
and peanuts are a much surer crop
than cotton, especially since we are
faced with the ravages of the boll wee
vil,” said Mr. McCoy, who resides near
Acworth.
Mr. E. S. Paris, a specialist in the
culture, handling and sale of pea
nuts was the next speaker. He told
of how farmers living in sections de
vastated by the ravages of the boll
weevil, had found that peanuts were
as sure a money crop as cotton, and
a lot safer, because the boll weevil
did hot affect peanuts, and, in many
instances completely wiped out whole
fields of cotton.
•We aye not here to advise, or ?ven
suggest that farmers abandon cotton,
but a safe mefhod will be to plant an
acre of peanuts for every acre of cot
ton. Then, if cotton fails you, you still
have a money crop in peanuts, ’ said
Mr. Paris.
Continuing, he said:
“The only staple variety for this sec
tion is the Spanish peanut. They have
been found to be the most prolific in
their yield in this section, and we can
recommend them to you, with the as.
surance that you will find a ready,
cash market for them, any day in the
year, in any quantity, from ten bush
els to a car load.
“The boll weevil has played havoc
in every section he has visited, and I
cannot too strongly urge you people
to head him off. to some extent, by
combating him with peanuts.”
During the course of the meeting
it was brought out that Chicago and
New York each use one hundred car
loads of peanuts evgry month in the
year, and good returns are certain.
Since 1917, the price, per ton. for
peanuts has ranged all the yyay from
47.00 to $214. In March, 1917, they
were quoted at $l3B. March 1918, $88;
March. 1919. $203: March 1920, $62;
March 1921. $66, and March 1922, they
were quoted at $149.30.
Air Nichols states that his com
pany is now in position to furnish
farmers with the Spanish peanuts at
very close prices, because it is their
desire to have as many acres planted
as possible, with the assurances that
a cash market may be expected in
in future.
Te meeting then adjourned, with

This action will, of course,
come as welcome news to

SUPERIOR COURT
HOLDING FORTH
HERE THIS WEEK
Judge Tarver's Able
Charge to Grand Jury
At Opening Monday
Morning a Feature
Various Matters Ur>
The adjourned' January term cr
Bartow Superior Court is in sessio:
at the co]]n house th s wek.
A number of criminal and civil case
have oeen heard, and the’ probability
is that the court will continue int->
next week before all matters can*be
disposed of.
At the opening of court Monday
morning, the grand Jury wns empan
elled, went to its room, organized with
the election of Hon. John A. Price, of
Adairsvllle, as foreman; Dr. R. B.
Harris, of Cartersville, a l * foreman
pro tern., and Mr. Elbert G. Shaw, clerk.
Returning to the court room, the
grand jury heard one of the most bril.
liant and illuminating charges ever
delivered to such a body in Bartow
county, wheh Judge Malcolm C. T ar '
ver spoke from the bench.
In language clear and unmistakable
Judge Tarver charged the grand jury
about their various duties, laying
•particular stress upon a proper regard
for the enforcement of the prohibition
statutes.
He said It was the duty of the grand
jury to investigate all liquor law vio.
lations, and to indict in every case
where the evidence warranted such
action.
Cha'n-gang sentences would be im
posed, he said, in cases where flagrant
violations of the prohibition satu es
were shown.
“I have no patience wi'h those who
say the pinhibition statutes should ndt
be enforced. They should be, along
with ail other statutes, so long as they
are the law of the land." he declared.
He also called attention to laws gov
erning investigations of county affairs,
and urged the body to be d'ligent in
alj its labors along these lines.
Those who heard Judge Tarver
charge say it was a most able one
and the pity of it is, that an even
larger number of citizens than were
present could have heard it..

The homicide took illace on the line

shot that killed Brown is said to have

Brown was carried from the scene of

in Cobb county, and where he died.
Naturally, some confusion resulted
as to which county’s officers had juris,
