At this time of the year practically every farmer has a surplus of produce that he would like to dispose of; ana at the same time the town or city housewife would like to buy some “home-grown” fruits and vegetables; and it is evident that the meeting ground for the satisfying of these mu tual wants is not as definite as it might be. The farmer’s surplus may be eggs, chickens, peaches pears, apples, plums, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, or grapes. But how is he going to dispose of such a miscellaneous lot of produce, A large part of such products are eaten raw, and cleanliness is of prime importance. No article of food should be offered for sale that shows any evi dence of disease, insects, or dirt. 16 half of the peaches are wormy, give that half to the pig and sell the rest, and you will lose nothing. Next in importance is the containers. Very small fruits are sold in quail baskets, and the larger fruits are pack ed in gallon baskets of the same type; while vegetables are handled in large baskets, hampers or crates. Anyone who has gone to the trouble and ex pense of raising these crops should be sufficiently interested in their sale to put them in clean, attractive contain ers. They should be of the appropriate size, clean, free from dirt, free from foreign odor, and as attractive as pos sible. Next is the handling of the commodi ties. Most fruits and vegetables are ripe at the time of harvesting; and this alone is an indication that they are subject to deterioration with the slight est bruise or ill-treatment. Most veg- THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA., JULY 5, 1923. etables may be washed immediately af- j ter picking, but fruits are rarely washed I —in fact, berries and like fruits should j be picked only when perfectly dry, and should never be wet afterwards. All fruits should be taken to the shade as soon as possible after gathering, and kept as cool as possible until they reach the market. The housewife will profit materially by making a few observations before buying “home-grown” products. She seeks a proper balance between quality and quantity of foods. Before buying she might notice the following quali ties: Maturity of the product, age of the food, cleanliness, attractiveness, and general environmental conditions. There is very seldom an over-produc tion of high quality fruits and vege tables, when they are properly packed and placed before the consumer in an attractive manner. BATES SCHOOL.

But when she spoke to him as an acquaintance, he told her that she was mistaken; that he had never been in Texas, and when she saw that he cared nothing about meeting Texas friends, and saw that he was with wife No. 2 she became suspicious of him and wrote to the sheriff of the county in Texas in which she and Davis had lived, and knowing that something was wrong, asked the sheriff if there was any reward for Rev. Roy E. Davis. The sheriff immediately wrote the sheriff of this county to arrest Rev. Roy E.

When he left here he owed a widow a board bill, but paid it a few days ago when he saw that sons of the widow were go ing to bring him back here for trial. If you want letters he wrote back here lying about this account you may have them and you will be convinced that no bigger liar than your preacher ever lived.” In an affidavit sworn to by W. J James, of Pickens county, Georgia, and dated May 29, 1923, the charge Is made that during 1916 Mr. James and three others contributed $25 for the purpose of purchasing an organ for the Fair view Baptist church In Pickens, coun ty, Georgia. “This money was turned over to Rev. Roy E. Davis, alias Lon Davis, he agreeing to make the purchase and de liver the organ to us,” the affidavit reads. “After a considerable time had passed I called on Mr. Davis to deliver the organ and he stated that the one he had in mind had been sold, but he had purchased another for $35 to be de liveed In Its place. “This organ was never delivered and Mr. Davis left this community with out refunding the money which had been delivered to him. Having made every effort to obtain the money and failing, I appeared before the 1919 grand jury of my county and obtained a bill of indictment against Mr. Davis When this case came on for trial I was ap proached by his attorney and the pros ecuting attorney and was told that If I would agree for this case to he nolle prossed my money would be refunded.

Davis preached at a country church south of this city last Sunday and was later ar rested at Quitman, Ga., at the request of Lowndes county officers, who held a warrant charging ciminai libel sworn out by a young lady of this city. The warrant was based on articles recently published in Tl-e Brickbat Lowndes county offices went to Qu t man following his arrest and secured oond for $506, after which Davis was released.

Recently an effort was made through the police department to get a line on Davis, and from court records and re ports from various reliable sources shows the fallowing, the officers say; It was found that oue Roy E. Davis appeared at Boonesville, Texas, in De cember, 1916, and in a deal with D A Cherry gave him a check for SIOO against a fraudulent deposit made in the Toyan Vaiiey Stale bank for $l7O. Davis was indicted by the grand jury on two counts, obtaining money on .alse pretenses and forging the name on which he received credit.

At the trial, according to j court records, Davis was found guilty land given two years; got anew trial 1 and found guilty and sentenced to two to three years in penitentiary, but jury recommended sentence suspended dur ing good behavior. It is also said that Davis later, while preaching at Fairview church, in Pick ens county, appropriated to his own use some money rasied for an organ and was later indicted, but his friends quashed this by making good the money and costs. It also was reported, among other things, that Davis was turned out of the Acworth Baptist church after a letter was received from J. M. Dowdy, of Brasher, Texas, who claimed to be a brother-in-law of Da vis, to the effect that Davis deserted his wife and three children in Texas and ran away with a red-haired wo man The Brickbat, of which Davis is editor, is a sensational sheet. The first pages of his publictaion, for the last three or four weeks, have been filled with extremely bitter and denunciatory tirades against citizens of Valdosta. He did not hesitate to call names and made all kinds of charges against peo ple here. The grand jury serving at the May term of superior court, the foreman of which, Davis says, refused to allow him to g've testimony in some cases before the jury, came in for a share of his wrath. He denounced the police force and, in fact, every mao who was not a clansman was denounced.

Davis formerly was connected (with the state department of the klan as an organizer,” said Mr. Dunning, "but his commision was revoked, effec tive Saturday, June 30, 1523. "The reason Rev.
