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 Arrested in Miami MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 12.—Two Dade county deputy sheriffs, Gullford Green and Frank McDade, were ar rested here Wednesday on the double charge of having boarded a British vessel before it was inspected by cus oms officers and of transporting in toxicating liquor. The officers were charged with warding the Molly O and removing : .15 cases of liquor, presumed to have ! been brought from Bimini Island. The captain of the Molly O charg i ed the officers raided his vessel, i using their badges as authority. No ' record of such a raid appeared on 1 the county books, federal authori ties declared.

COMMISSARIES NAME OFFICERS IN LAST SESSION Election of officers, reports of various committees, selection of the 1921 convention city, and the winding up all unfinished business occupied the major portion of the time of the final session Thursday morning of the eleventh annual convention of the National Commissary Managers’ association. J. R. Harrison, of Nortonville, Ky., was elected president for the en suing year and E. J. Eicoff, of Chi cago, was re-elected secretary. All of the various state vice presidents were unanimously re-elected. St. Louis was selected as the 1921 convention city, the convention to be held during August of next year. Resolutions thanking the Atlanta Merchants and Manufacturers’ asso ciation and the Atlanta convention bureau for the splendid reception and entertainment accorded them during their three: days’ stay in Atlanta were submitted and unanimously 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. Bridegrooms Turn Elves in Wood as Hazers Take Garb PARIS, Ky.—Officers were form ing a posse to quell the lynchers. 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 woods and fields. It was a grand charivari! Friends induced Carl Case and Melvin Hornbeck, newly-weds, to take an auto ride, promising the brides to bring them back early. A mile from town the car stopped. The 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 ballot box 8 and with absolute colt Shot to SquaMßwashville NASH V 11 h on held a charge gun public square, in was killed and three negro "bystanders" were wounded. Borum also was slightly wounded. Borum, a former sheriff and now foreman of the grand jury, declared he was forced to kill Yeaman, and asserted the latter fired the first shot. He explained that the shotgun he used had been placed in his auto mobile when he was warned that Yea man was hunting him. Yeaman, according to acquaint ances, was angry at Borum because of the belief that Borum was respon sible for an indictment in connection with the sale of liquor . 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. Caraway’s Victory Is Conceded by Kirby LITTLE ROCK. Aug. 12.—United States Senator W., F. Kirby 'oday concecded his defeat by Represen tative T. G. Caraway in Tuesday’s primary, for the Democratic sen atorial nomination. bridegrooms’ vestments were re moved—all except their underwear. Midst bedlam of horns and cow bells they were ridden on a fence rail. Passers-by thought it was a lynching bee, and hastened to town to notify Paris officers. The bridegrooms, left on the pike, saw the cars disappear—with their clothes. They finally reached home after stealthily avoiding the frequented highways and by-ways. They found their clothes waiting on the porch and their wives. 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.” Tennessee Town Has 5,692 in Three Years WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.—The census bureau today announced the following 1920 population results: Kingsport, Tenn., 5,692; incorpo rated in 1917, and no comparison is available.

Mr. Alexander said his for mal announcement would be brief, and that it woudl be available for publication not later than Friday afternoon. "Reports from all parts of the dis trict received since Wednesday’s meeting in Schley Howard’s office are most encouraging,” said the district attorney, “and I am confident of my success in this race even before I discuss the issues Involved with a single voter.” Mr. Alexander said his mail was flooded Thursday with lettors of congratulation and assurance of sup port. He was not certain who would direct his campaign from the Kim ball House headquarters, stating that a campaign manager woudl be nam ed Thursday or Friday by the cam paign committee. He announced his intention of making application without delay for a thirty-day leave of absence from his official duties, and was preparing Thursday to car ry his campaign Into every copnty and precinct in the district between now and September 8. 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.” British Force Retreats In Mesopotamia PARIS, Aug. 12.—The situation in Mesopotamia continues serious, says a Havas dispatch from Beirut.

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. purifier and cleanser that it can be relied upon to search out all disease germs and impurities and eliminate them from the system, and this is why it is such an ex cellent Rheumatism.

HUNTER, of C incin- j »■ nati, Ohio, who says | 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.” The above statement was made by A. O. Hunter, 106 W. 7th St., Cin cinnati, 0., a well-known mechanie now in the employ of the Cincinnati Abattoir Co.
