TOBACCO REAL
“MONEY CROP” IN
SOUTH GEORGIA
BY JACK X>. PATTBBSOB
DOUGLAS. Ga„ Aug. 12. —That to
bacco is destined to become the
principal "money crop” of South
Georgia Is convincingly demonstrat
ed at a number of progressive South
Georgia towns five days in the week
during the tobacco season of about
seventy (jays.
On Tuesday of this week about
200,000 pounds of superior Georgia
grown tobacco was sold at public
outcry In Nashville for an aggregate
sum in excess of $50,000. While
the average price per pound ranges
around 35 cents, the first quality
is in immediate demand at 55 to 60
cents, representatives of the large
tobacco firms of North Carolina be
ing present to engage In the spirited
bidding.
Tobacco culture is receiving more
attention in South Georgia than is
generally known, and experts agree
that the quality compares favorably
with that of the best product of
Virginia and North Carolina. Nash
ville, In Berrien county, is young in
the industry, but two immense ware
houses have been erected and the
daily sales average about 150,000
pounds.
Douglas probably leads in the sale
of the weed with 1,000,000 pounds
marketed this season, and wagon
trains are in line at the three ware
houses every day awaiting their turn
to be unloaded. The first tobacco
market In Georgia was established
in Douglas in 1917 by D. K. Ford
and L. G. Miller, of Lake City, S. C.,
as the direct result of the efforts
of W. B. Smith, who is et present
the enthusiastic tobacco agent of the
Georgia and Florida railroad, having
the co-operation and support of the
company and its general passenger
agent, Major W. H. Leahy.
Tobacco markets, besides at
Douglas and Nashville have also been
established at Valdosta, Tifton, Ash
burn, Blackshear, Abbeville. Vidalia
and Lyons, and are in course of es
tablishment at other commercial cen
ters.
The fact that al! the tobacco mar
kets are the scene of much activity
on sale days indicates the impor
tance that its culture has already at
tained in South Georgia, available
figures at this date forecasting a
yield valued at about $7,000,000,
which many experts are of the opin
ion will be increased to $10,000,000
next season.
The average yield Is about 700
pounds per acre and the process of
curing consumes about one week,
after which the product is loaded
Into wagons and auto trucks and
conveyed to the warehouse, where
the demand is constant and the prices
satisfactory. The bright, yellow flue
cured product demands the highest
price, as it is especially adapted to
the manufacture of fragrant cig
arettes, but the inferior grades find
a ready sale.
The sales in Douglas last year ag
gregated 2,500,000 pounds, while more
than 1,000,000 pounds have been sold
the current season. Large sales have
also been made in the other cities of
the tobacco belt and the season is
still in full blast.
The Georgia and Florida and the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railways are encouraging the culture
of tobacco through their agricultural
departments, the work being under
the direct supervision of the general
passenger agents of the respective
lines.
It is estimated that this year, the
acreages in the Georgia and Florida
counties have been: Berrien county,
2,000; Coffee county, 4,000; Jeff Da
vis, 750; Lowndes, 600 Toombs, 1,000;
Emanuel, 300; Montgomery, 400;
Burke, 400; Jefferson, 60. The total
crop is 9,460 acres. The yield is
about 700 pounds to the acre, or
about 6,662,000 pounds, worth about
$2,317,000. The money yield per acre
has been about $245. The road is
employing every effort to provide
proper market and marketing facili
ties for the crop.
The farmers of south Georgia are
fighting the destructive boll weevil
with tobacco, and it is doubtful if
cotton will ever again be the prin
ciple crop in certain counties, whose
rich, fertile soils offer rich returns
to the tobacco grower.
Nobody who has not made an In
vestigation has an accurate concep
tion of the magnitude of what has
been accomplished in a few years,
and the prospect is continually grow
ing brighter.
Men will "chew the weed,” why
not produce it in Georgia?
COMPANY ASKS
EXPRESS INCREASE
TO MEET WAGES
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—The
American Railway Express company
today made application to the inter
state commerce commission to in
crease their rates so as to recover
the recent award of wage Increases
to employes.
The express company stated that
the award would increase the pay
roll $43,800,805 annually and asked
that the rates be os adjusted as
to cover this amount.
Increased rates on milk and cream
were asked, so that the American
Express company’s rates on these
commodities would be the same as
the railroad rates.
Sims Re-Arrested
For Killing Soldier
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 12.—H. L.
Sims, liberated on a $5,000 bond fol
lowing a preliminary trial on the
charge of murder in connection with
the shooting of Private George Me
lich, of Camp Benning, while the
latter was in a watermelon patch
belonging to the defendant, the
charge having been reduced to that
of manslaughter, has been arrested
again on a grand jury Indictment
which charges murder, and he will
now have to remain in jail perhaps
until a jury passes on his case.
The grand jury bill was returned
late Tuesday. It is claimed Sims
shot the soldier with buckshot, kill
ing him Instantly. The case has at
tracted unusual interest.
Sims, who is a planter on the
section joining the big military
camp, declares his stuff is being
ruined by soldiers; that he has ap
pealed to camp authorities in vain,
etc. He doesn’t admit snooting the
soldier, but at the preliminary hear
ing his attorney declared if he had
he would have been justifiable in
view of the circumstances.
Deputy Sheriffs

MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 12.—Two Dade

Songs Land Two Men
In Bibb Jail; Still Is
Found; Team Is Taken
MACON. Ga., Aug. 12.—Patroling
the Milledgeville road Tuesday aft
ernoon, Wilse Birdsong, one of the
newly appointed county speed cops,
heard joyous voices. As they drew
nearer the tones came brokenly as if
the singers were riding in a jolting
wagon. The officer throttled his
chugging cycle down until only a
whispered purr came from the mo
tor, and the rumbling wagon was
close on him before the revellers
knew of his presence. By that time.
Deputy Sheriffs Raley and Rogers
had joined him. There were two men
on the front seat of an old-time
spring, which a jogging and con
tented horse was slowly drawing
along. The driver swayed drunkenly
and an aged one-legged man with him
lurched to one side; both were sing
ing lustily.
There were grumbling protests
when the officers dragged a keg con
taining three gallons of "white light
ning” from beenath underbrush In
the back of the wagon, but the sing
ers offered no resistance, Instead
they resumed their song. A quart
measure and other things Indicating
they intended to peddle the contra
brand also were found carefully con
cealed in the wagon. At the county
jail, the white man gave his name
as J. L. Lingo, and the negro said
his was Charles Heard. They sank
happily on the bunks in their cells
and soon were sound asleep.
Birdsong then began tracing the
trail of the wagon. Rain had fallen
and it was easily folio-wed. It led
to a lonely spot on the banks of
Black lake in the Ocmulgee swamp.
There he found a still, still warm,
and conveniently nearby was a large
quantity of stuff used in making
whisky. The still, whose capacity
was sixty gallons a day, was de
stroyed; the liquor held as evidence
against the men, and the horse and
wagon confiscated under the state
probhition law.
The officers said they found signs
that the plant had been in operation
a long time, and they believe the
men had been peddling whisky here
for many months.
“Proves the old saying about
wine and song,” they said, laughing.
“If they had stayed sober they
probably never would have been sus
pected, or, at least, they would have
gotten by for sometime.”
State Oil Fees Are
$16,452 in Two Weeks
Fees collected in Georgia for the
inspection of oil from July 15 to 31,
exclusive of salaries for the inspec
tor and his deputies, agregated $16,-
452, as shown by the report filed
Wednesday in federal court by State
Oil Inspector Marvin P. Roane.
Filing of monthly reports of fees
collected was recently made manda
tory by Judge Samuel H. Sibley, of
the federal court, folloing a suit
brought by the Texas Oil company
against the state in which the law
authorizing collection of fees for in
specting oil was attacked as uncon
stitutional. Judge Sibley held that
the state law is constitutional, but
pending final disposition of the suit,
he stopped the oil inspector from
paying fees for inspection of oil into
the state treasury and directed that
he deposit the fees in an Atlanta bank
and make monthly returns of the
amounts collected to the court.

Two brides, indignant, waited and
wondered —what their new mates’ ex
cuses would be.
The bridegrooms, shivering, were
emulating Grecian nymphs as they
made their circuitous way home via

It was a grand charivari!
Friends induced Carl Case and

PAUL TRAMMELL
DISCUSSES RACE
FOR RAIL BOARD
Declaring that the railroad com
mission now faces problems of great
moment and that the present recon
struction period calls for men of ex
perience on this body, Commissioner
Paul IjJ. Trammell, vice chairman ot
the commission, Wednesday Issued a
statement in connection with his
campaign for re-election.
Answering his opponent, W. Trox
Bankston, of West Point, who re
cently pleaded for representation for
the western section of the state, Mr.
Trammell declared there is probably
no other section of Georgia that has
furnished so many members of the
commission as that in which Mr.
Bankston lives.
Mr. Bankston, said Mr. Trammell,
would have the public believe that
he succeeded his father Immediately
on the commission, whereas he actu
ally became a member of the body
eleven years after his father’s serv
ice ended
"It is generaly known throughout
the state,” said Mr. Trammell, “that-
I am a candidate for re-election. My
entrance fee was paid some weeks
ago, and I shall wage an active cam
paign, which has always been my
idea of the conduct of any campaign,
regardless of the weakness of op
position.
“Mr. Bankston bases his claim to
the office in the main on the ground
that the western section of the state
should have representation on the
commission, leaving the impression
that this particular section has sel
dom furnished a member of the com
mission. In recalling the names of
many distinguished men from his
section who have served on the com
mission, it is, perhaps, true that no
other section of the state has fur
nished so many as that of Mr. Bank
ston.
"The late Governor James M.
Smith was the first chairman of the
commission, later the Hon. J. Gunby
Jordan, who was twice a member of
the commission, both of whom resid
ed in Muscogee county at the time.
The Hon. Thomas Crenshaw and Hon.
Fuller Callaway were on the commis
sion at different times, and from Mr.
Bankston’s own county. From this
same section Judge Warner Hill
served on the commission for a long
time. Judge Hill and Mr. Callaway
resigned from the commission.
"The only other expressions of
desire for representation on the
commission from Mr. Bankston’s
section, came in his races for a place
on the commission in 1912 and 1918.
In his last race he carried six coun
ties, makirg a little bit better show
ing in his first race. So it would
seem from the number serving on
the commission from the section of
the state Mr. Bankston hails from,
as well as the few votes cast for
Mr. Bankston in his two races here
tofore, that his section of the state
does not agree with him that it has
been neglected, as he insists. I re
call also that his home county ot
l?roup and his neighboring county
of Harris gave him a small plurality
majority with two others in the race
in 1918.
“He complains of the fact that
my father served on the commis
sion at one time. This is true, and
after a lapse of eleven years, I was
appointed on the commission, but
not succeeding immediately to the
place held by my father, as Mr.
Bankston would have one believe. I
was elected to a full term on the
commission six years ago for the
first time, and by reason of the leg
islature changing the time for which
Incoming officers take their office,
the full term to which I was so
elected, has been shortened eleven
months by reason of the legislative
act referred to.
“If experience counts for any
thing, the time I have spent in this
office better qualifies me for an
intelligent and proper discharge of
the duties devolving upon one hold
ing this important position. Prob
lems of great moment, and such as
will be reflected in the commerce of
our state for the next quarter of a
century, will be constantly coming
before the commission for determi
nation, during the period of re-con
struction through wMch we have
now just started, aql it is my be- 1
lief that the people K the state are
not desirous of tuning over such
duties to one with M qualifications
of any sort whatevW for any such
work. I submit candidacy to
the fairness and goW judgement of
those who Tyill it at the

W. A. Burroughs Is
Killed; Ed Garvin Held
MILLEN, Ga., Aug. 12.—W. A.
Burroughs, former policeman of the
city of Millen and former county po
lice of Jenkins county, was killed
here Tuesday night, about 11:30, by
Ed Garvin.
Various stories of the homicide are
being talked. It seems that the
store of Burroughs in the edg of
Millen was on fire Tuesday night
about the time of the killing. Garvin
lives in a building adjoining the store
building. While moving his furni
ture from his residence or soon aft
er, Garvin and Burroughs, it is said,
became angry with each other and
the shooting began.
Reports say that Garvin had a
rifle and Burroughs had a pistol.
Some of those present say that both
parties shot and others say they did
not.
Burroughs has been in Millen about
two years and Garvin has lived in
this section the most of his lifq.
Burroughs was about forty years old
and Garvin about thirty-two.
Garvin is in the county jail now.

B. M.BlackburnAnnounces;
McElreath Issues Statement;
Alexander Plans Platform
Issuance of the formal announce
ment of B. M. Blackburn, a brief
but spirited statement by Chairman
Walter McElreath, of the Upshaw
campaign committee, concerning
United States Attorney Hooper Alex
ander’s candidacy, and opening of
Alexander campaign headquarters in
tWe Kimball house w’ere Thursday’s
developments in the congressional
race in the Fifth district, which now
is secondary in interest locally only
to the senatorial and gubernatorial
campaigns.
Mr. Blackburn’s announcement was
quite a lengthy statement, in which he
voiced his unalterable opposition to
the League of Nations and declared
he is unwilling to float any other
flag above the Stars and Stripes. He
attacked the record of Congressman
Upshaw and asserted that the latter’s
service in congress does not entitle
him to the customary second term
indorsement of the people of the dis
trict.
Following Mr. Alexander’s en
trance into the race on Wednesday
at a meeting of a number of his sup
porters in the office of Branch &
Howard, Walter McElreath, chairman
of the Upshaw campaign committee,
Thursday gave out the following
statement:
"Mr. Alexander with his usual and
innate modesty says that ‘it is highly
important that the Fifth district be
efficiently represented in congress.’
We agree with Mr. Alexander, hence
the increased necessity of re-electing
Mr. Upshaw, with his record of prov
en efficiency, since Mr. Alexander’s
announcement. We admire Mr. Alex
ander’s discretion in holding on to
LAMAR COUNTY’S
CREATION ENDS
50-YEAR BATTLE
BARNESVILLE, Ga., Aug. 12.—The
passage of the legislature of the
constitutional amendment authoriz
ing the creation of Lamar county
from portions of Pike and Monroe
counties, with Barnesville as the
county seat, brings to an end a fight
for the creation of a county out of
this territory which has been going
on at different times for fifty years,
this being the fifth time such a bill
has been before the legislature of
Georgia. It has been defeated by
narrow margins time after time. It
has been one of the most bitterly
fought new-county propositions which
has ever been before the legislature
of the state, both Pike and Monroe
offering at all times strenuous op
position. The conditions had created
animosities which made the creation
of the new county an absolute ne
cessity and there is great rejoicing
among the people of the territory in
volved.
When the news reached the city, a
?;reat demonstration began, which
asted for hours, closing with a big
street parade and bonfire, men, women
and children, white and black, join
ing in it by hundreds, ringing bells,
blowing whistles, honking automo
biles, creating every imaginable
noise and having a hilarious time
generally. The passage of the bill
is regarded as the greatest event
in the life of the people of this city
and vicinity.
Lamar county will have an area
of 184 square miles, nearly 14,000
population and nearly $5,000,000 tax
able values, and the people to com
pose it are naturally allied in all
their interests, which forces the pre
diction that it will at once be one
of the finest counties in Georgia.
Hastings Approves
Cattle Show With
Southeastern Fair
The wisdom of holding the nation
al hog and cattle show in connection
with the Southeastern, fair, October
16-26, is being demonstrated daily,
President H. G. Hastings declares.
"The wonderful strides made in
the production of pure-bred cattle
and swine makes the new feature of
the fair very timely and it will with
out doubt do more to double meat
production than any one thing that
could have been thought of. We are
offering SII,OOO in the fat classes
alone and are Introducing a feature
of the international live stock show
in putting on for load classes.
“Already the whole southeast
seems to have caught the spirit; not
only will all the established breed
ers be here, but some who are just
going into ousiness and the demand
for calls and pens is very likely to
exceed our plans for accommoda
tions.
"With threee international grand
champion animals in the section
served by the Southeastern fair there
is no reason why, with the interest
shown, there should not be a num
ber added this year.
“The work of building our railway
to connect with the belt line is pro
gressing very nicely, and we will
have the best facilities in the coun
try when this is completed. The live
stock will be unloaded right along
side the pens and will have accom
modations for bathing and caring for
the stock, not in use heretofore.
"In order that we may exhibit
the proper co-operative spirit, we
will release all live stock exhibits
on Saturday, October 23, at 4 p. m.,
in order that our stock may scatter
and show at some of the smaller
fairs, which otherwise could not
have good exhibits. This feature of
our arrangements is as effective as
another big fair would be.”

CONSERVATION IN
BUYING SHOWN BY
FINANCIAL REPORT
Conservative buying by wholesalers
and retailers, continued cut-price
sales of all commodities, fair collec
tions, Increased activity of the boll
weevil and excessive rains are re
ported in the summary of financial,
agricultural and industrial conditions
for the week ending Wednesday by
J. E. C. Pedder, southeastern man
ager of the Bradstreet company.
Mr. Pedder’s report follows:
“There is little difference in whole
sale and retail business from last
week. Wholesalers report continued
conservatism in placing orders for
future delivery. Merchants appar
ently are buying only for immediate
needs. Large local retail dealers con
tinue to advertise extensively and
conduct cut price sales, especially in
wearing apparel lines, thereby stim
ulating trade to some extent.
“Collections are somewhat slow, at
tributed partly to congested trans
portation facilities, and smaller mer
chants are not inclined to make pay
ment on purchases before the goods
are received. No immediate relief is
expected. Building has slowed up to
some extent due principally to in
ability to obtain material and to the
high prices of same. Money is tight
and has aided in causing a break in
the building program.
“Considerable rain during the past
week with moderate temperatures
was not altogether favorable for cot
ton. Its progress Was only fair, and
the crop is late. Cotton under normal
conditions can stand a great deal of
rain in July and August and yet
have time to mature a good crop.
"There is a complaint of consider
able shedding, and weather condi
tions have greatly favored the boll
weevil. Corn is practically safe but
the crop is below normal. Sweet po
tatoes promise to very large yield.
Peanuts are doing well. Pastures,
hay and forage crops are good.”

ninety-five miles southeast of Bag

GENERAL GORGAS’
BODY IS RETURNED
TO UNITED STATES
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Simplicity
marked the return to this country
today of the body of Major General
William C. Gorgas, former surgeon
general of the United States army,
who died in London last month.
Borne back to home shores on the
United States transport Pocahontas,
the casket was met at Hoboken by
a guard of honor from the Thirteenth
infatnry, lowered to the dock and
carried through a lane es army wel
fare workers. Captain Richard H.
Gorgas, the general’s youngest broth
er, stepped forward and draped over
the coffin an American flag. That
ended the ceremony.
The casket was then taken on a
ferryboat to New York and placed
in a special room at the Pennsyl
vania station, to lie there in state un
til departure of the train for Wash
ington this afternoon.
The Pocahontas was to have docked
at 9:30, but inspection of Polish
troops aboard her held her at quar
antine. As the transport made her
way up the harbor, her flag half
masted, other craft lowered their col
ors in solemn tribute to the man
who for years had guarded the health
of Uncle Sam’s fighting men. When
the gray funeral ship passed Gover
nors Island, thirteen guns boomed
their salute.
As the Pocahontas was urged into
her berth by tugs, there was a great
silence. Only the puffing of the
tiny craft laboring with the gray
sided transport broke the stillness.
Whistles of other Tiarbor craft were
silent for the moment, as if they too
were paying tribute. There was not
a sound from the pier where were
grouped a little band of relatives and
representatives of the United States
and foreign governments. No funeral
dirge was played.
None aboard the transport was
permitted to land until the casket
had been swung to the dock—a gray,
somber army dock, unbedecked with
flags. But when the coffin had been
lowered over the side, the general’s
widow and the party that had accom
panied her oversea stepped slowly
down the gang plank.
After the casket had been placed
in a hearse, mourners followed in
motors to the ferry dock. Then the
cortege started across the Hudson to
be met at Manhattan’s shore by an
other guard of honor drawn from
the Twenty-second infantry.
Young Man Suspected
As Being Bergdoll Is
Arrested in New York
ONEONTA, N. Y., Aug. 12.—A
youngman, who, state troopers say,
answers the description of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, the wealthy
draft evader, who escaped from the
custody of the military authorities,
was arrested by two troopers ten
miles west of here today.
The suspect denied that he was
Bergdoll, and give his name as
George Lenno, of Buffalo.
Wants Alabama’s
Sunday Laws Obeyed
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 12.—Fol
lowing the passage by the city com
mission of an ordinance which pro
hibits the sale of automobile tires
and accessories on Sundays, Commis
sioner Burruss has proposed another
ordinance be passed providing for en
forcement of all state laws on Sun
day observance just as they have
stood since 1860.
Mr. Burruss declared that such en
forcement would result in the sus
pension of all business activity, in
cluding the operation of street cars,
and that only drug stores would be
permitted to remain open.
The action of the commission was
the result of a campaign for ob
servance of the Lord’s Day. Pro
ponents of the ordinance forbidding
the sale of tires encounted the oppo
sitio nos physicians and other au
tomobile owners who presented a pe
tition for the repeal of the legisla
tion. The petition was denied by a
vote of three to one. Mr. Burruss,
who voted for the petition, contended
that tire service should be allowed
or that the sale of oil, air, gas and
wrecker service should also be pro
hibited. He then urged a strict ob
servance of all state laws. “Let’s be
consistent,” he said, “and enforce
these statutes to the limit.”
The commission has not yet taken
any action upon his proposal.

Tanlac has certainly proven
its worth in both his own and
his wife’s case. He wasn’t
able to work when he began
taking it.
r. "i -
"Last fall I had the ‘Flu’ and it
left me in a very weak and run-down
condition with no appetite at all ana
such a weak stomach that even th»
smell cooking made me sick. I
was awfully nervous and night after
night I couldn't sleep to do any good.
I would get up in the mornings tired
and worn out and was so short of
breath that a half hour’s job would
tire me as much as a whole day’s*
work use to. In fact I finally had to’
give up a good job.
"When I first started on Tanlac I
was working for the Goodyear Rub
ber Co. in Akron, Ohio. I decided
that anything that was being talked
about so much was at least worth
an honest trial. It worked like a
charm in my case. It helped me right
from the start and by the time I
had taken my third bottle all of
my troubles were gone and I found
myself well and strong again.
“While in Akron my wife got so
she couldn’t eat. She lost weight and
got very pale. Tanlac was doing me
so much good I got her to try it and
after taking two bottles, she is look
ing fine again. Her appetite is just
splendid and she looks like a differ
ent person. It certainly has proven
its worth to both of us and has come
up to every word I have read and
heard about it.”
