SHIP IN SEED
Both Americus cotton seed oil
mills arc running full blast again.
The Farmers Cotton Oil Co. plant
renamed operations several days ago,
after a shutdown, and the Americus
Oil Co. plant began Monday of this
week. Each plant gives employment
to between 40 and 50 men, it was
said. The mills operate 24 hours
per day, continuous operation being
most economical because of the pro
cesses in separating the oil from the
seed.
Both mills arc shipping in seed
from elsewhere, because of the
steady refusal of farmers of this lo
cality to sell.
"We have been shipping seed from
North Georgia," said George W.
Riley, of the Farmers Cotton Oil

been more ready to sell than the
farmers in this section, and right
now they are turning their seed into
money.”
We are not getting many seed

Lee county, who was recently con

court at Albany, has been suspend
cd, according to advice received here
from Savannah. The fine of $1,000

In chamber proceedings yesterday
attorneys for the defendant, J,
Gordon Jones, of Cordclc, R. R. For
rester, of Leesburg and Judge Ed
gar Cox, of Camilla, secured an or
der from Judge Evans suspending
the- jail sentence.
* The case grew out of an alleged
letter written by Wallace to n Sn-
vannah woman, which, it was chnr^
ed, contained obscene matter. The
case was in court for two days and
attracted a great deal of attention in
South Georgia..
Wallace is one of the most popular
men in this county and there is n
great deal of sentiment here in his
favor.

Nov. 10, 1920. ,Tho students prac
ticcd nthletics a good deal just be
fore Christmas, but they* hove prac
ticed very little since moving Into

there are some reasons for their fail

is hot yet clear of bushes, scraps of
plank and other types of trash; and,
too, tho weather has not been fav
orable to athletic pr dice.
Principal R. W. James has recently
