of oil and meal from Corn Bell

assured for the season of 1922. Seve

become interested in the possibilities
of the soy bean as source of oil and

planned to use about 750,000 bushels
this season, while other mills are
planning on a smaller scale.

The students who arc being speci

of radio- field telephones and other
means of field communication. The
last week of the camp was spent in

TRAJAN’S SOUL IN HEAVEN?
Prayer of Pope Gregory Said to Have
Resulted In Entry of Pagan
Into Paradise.
The Roman emperor Trajan .was
the only pagan, according to inedlevul
theologians, who was received Into
Paradise. Ills salvation came about
through the offices ol! Pope Gregory
the Great. The pope was one day
walking through Trajan’s forum In
Rome, musing on the emperor’s many
merits and grieving that so good a
man should he eternally lost. He ac
cordingly dropped to his knees nnd
prayed for Trajan’s salvation, and
presently a voice was heard from on
high announcing that his prayer was
granted, but that henceforth he must
pray only for Chrlstlnns.
There are several different conclus
ions to this legend. One of them nar
rates that Gregory, although his con
duct was praiseworthy and success
ful, “broke the rules’’ by praying for
Trajan’s soul, nnd was therefore pun
ished by numerous distressing mala
dies. Another Is to the effect that
Trajan's soul was sent back to his
body, which was duly baptized by
Gregory, whereupon the soul took Im
mediate wing to heaven.
The whole circumstance was one
of the knottiest problems which the
casuists of the Middle ages endeav
ored to solve, for they all recognized
the humanity which inspired Greg
ory’s frayers, but could not forget
that the unhapti/.ed pagan was, after
all, an unhapti/.ed pagan.

| On Thursday, July 13, at six thirty
P. M. the Death Angel entered
(he home of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Edi

.soul of little Fred- their baby child.
Little Fred was thirteen years old
and was loved by all who knew him.
j He was a truthful child, oberiiedent,
and had a sweet and agreable dispov-
it'un. I had known Fred for just two
weeks but the little fellow won my
love and to me his memory will ever
be sweet.
He was laid to rest in Ebenezer
Church yard * Friday, July 14th.

Ceylonese Creditors Have a Remark-
y ably Effective Method of Enforc
ing Collections.
The native of Ceylon Is an intract
able creditor. He possesses an Irre
sistible method of securing payment
without recourse to the bailiffs, cita
tions, judgments, duns lor summonses
which fall like hail alalut. the ears of
European debtors.
The Ceylonese creditor betakes him
to the house of the man who owes him
money, holding in his hand some leaves
nf the neungala. an extremely poison
ous plant, and declares that, unless he
Is paid on the spot he will poison him
self.
The debtor pays up without hesitie
tion. At home he would of course
simply laugh In the face of the shoe
maker or tailor who made such a
threat, and tell him to go abend; but
In Ceylon there is a local law which
Imposes an enormous fine on anyone
who is the cause of the suicide of mi
nt her. And there Is no ease on rec
ord in which a creditor was permitted
to carry out his threat.
The question, however, seems to he
whether In the face of an obstinate
refusal to pay, the creditor would
not bo wiser to lose his money than
his life.
Ferocious British Guiana Fish.
British Guiana Is noted for n rare

bigger than a herring, Is ferocious to
the point of Incredibility. It will at
tack other fish and bite large pieces

the steering paddles of a boat, and has-
been known, when in force, to kill
men. The piranha Is a notorious can

One traveler In British Guiana tells
that in crossing the Kssequibo his boat
wounded a wild hog thut was swim
ming across. A shoal of piranha?
settled upon the unfortunate hog. In
a minute the water seemed to be boil
ing, so great wus the activity of the
little demons as they tore away piece?
of the flesh.
But even the piranha has its uses.
Some Indlun tribes leave their dead
in the river for the piranhas to strip
the bones, and then preserve the
skeleton, dyed red, as a family heir

Atlanta, Ga.—The Senate has pa c -
fed thp bill of United St'ites Rena'or
Wiliam J. Harris to amend the Fede
ral Reserve Act so that small banks
can enter the system and assist in
credits for the farmers, according to
new s received here from Washington.
The bill would let a bank with a cani-
tal less than $25,000 enter the Fede
ral reserve system if it has fid per
cent of the unimpaired capital now
required under the law and sets aside
20 per cent of its earnings annually
to bring up the capital to the minimum
now required. The hill of Senator
Harris has the approval of the Fede
ral Reserve Board- Governor Well
born, of the Atlanta bank, as well as
the endorsemenr of Senator Heflin,
of Alabama who has attacked many
policies of the Board. The Senate is
expected to take up consideration of
the bill when they reconvene on Au

of Georgia, has introduced a similar
bill in the House.
MILITIA HELD IN READNESS TO
QUEL RAIL DISORDERS
Despite the boll weevil and the
vvidly diversified farming program now
practiced in South Georgia, according
to the monthly report of Z. R. Pettet,
Bureau of Crop Estimates. U. S. De-
! partment of Agriculture, South Geor
gia farmers have planted an increaso
of 15 per cent in the cotton crop in
, Souts Georgia, according to Mr. Pett-
j et’s report is considerably above the
average for the State. The average
condition in the counties traversed by
the AB&A railway was fi7 per cent,
while the average condition in the
; State was only 58 per cent.
On the subject of boll weevil dam
age- Prof. Pettet ?ays:
“The destruction wrought by the
boll weevil last year was disastrous,”
in Georgia, ’the Central ond most
important cotton districts were prac
tically wiped out. In 1922 thc num
bers of boll weevil present early
in the season indicate a probable
repetition if cotton were planted. The
growers seeded down their plantation.?
and put them in corn or allowel them
to lie idle.
South Georgia on the other hand,
has become accustomed to and has
berned to fight him. The result is
that more cotton has be-;n planted
in that section, than in five or six
years. The net increase there is
about 15 per cent, while thc State.
average is given at 58 per cent. Some
of the leading South Georgia cotton
counties show a condition of as high
ns 81 per cent. Turner County shows
a condition of 75 per cent; Irwin 81;
Coffe 73. Pierce 71: while Thomas and
Colquitt show a condition of fiS per
cent and 67 per cent respectively. It
i pointed out here today that while
diversified farming has taken a firm
hold among South Georgia farmers,
there is renewed activity and interest
in growing cotton- owing to the fact
that farmers, having learned the
lessons as advocated to successfully
combat the boll weevil, the earliness
of the season nnd the easy cultivation
of level land has encouraged many
farmers to plant an increased acreage
of cotton this yenr and the condition
if thi s cotton crop this year, from
the statistics just published by Prof.
Fettett- would seem to indicate that
the South Georgia farmer, while
practicing a diversified farming pro
gram, has also learned how to grow
cotton ii^ spite of the boll weevil a s
well.
Variety of Shipments
Tt is remarkable what a great
variety of shipments is being made
from almost any station one might
name in South Georgia, For instance,
during the month of June, a small
station in Thomas county, reports the
following shipments:
147 cars watermelons; 9 cars dres-
sed lumber; 3 cars mixed vegetables;
1 cur onions; 6 cars cantaloupes; 1
car potatoes; 212 barrels turpentine
399 barrels rosin; 29 barrels syrup;
75 hales cotton; 1770 lozen eggs; 1633
chickens; a very large quantity of
plants- hides and some milk and cream
in addition.
Other examples of big profits from
diversified farming in South Georgia
were given out here today by W. W.
Cioxton.
Mrs. S. M. hhitchard, of Fitzgerald,
during June- 1922 received net returns
of $800 per acre from tomatoes. SH
OO net per'acre from two and one half
acres of squash during the spring of
1922, anl $750 per acre in the fall
of 1921 from turnips, on 6 acres plan

Messrs. Dyer & Denby, located lit

80 per acre on cucumbers
