Berrien County’s Tobacco
Crop Proves Golden Flood
Bankrupt Five Years Ago, County Now Has Risen to
Affluence—s2oo Per An Acre Average Revenue.
Greater Part of Crop Sold to Firms In
France and England
NASHVILLE, Ga.—Five years
ago Berrien county and Nasville,
the county seat, were bankrupt. A
county with ruin that had long been
prosperous by raising sea island
cotton was brought face to face by
deflation and the Maxlcan boll wee
vil. Collections were impossible
and the bankrupt court was crowd
ded. Today debts have been paid,
business Is good and bank deposits
are mounting at the rate of fifty
-thousand dally. This kaleidosepic
change from poverty to comparative
affluence has been brought about
by tobacco. Six years ago all the
farmers of Berrien county depended
on cotton for money crop. Cotton
was the foundation on which the
local economic structure was rais
ed. Today there is scarcely a cot
ton field to be found. After leaving
Douglas the representative of this
paper did not see a row of cotton.
Well informed men say that ninety
five per cent of the farmers of this
county raise tobacco. The rapidity
with which tobacco has supplanted
cotton can be seen from the com
parative production of tobacco for
the last three years. In 1922 the
local warehouses handled 675,000
pounds of tobacco. The production
mounted to two millions pounds in
1923 and this year conservative men
estimate the production at eight
million pounds, The first thres
days of the sale has amounted to
more than the total production
three years ago. At the prevailing
prices the money value of this year's
crop at this market will go over
two million dollars.
Every line of business is getting
a share of the golden flood that is
pouring into the territory where to
bacco is grown. The hotels are
crowded and it is hard for the sev
eral restaurants to keep up with
the demand. The stores all report
excellent business. A. W. Gaskins,
who caters to the country trade,
showed your representative his
cash book for the first three days
of the sale. The book showed that
Mr. Gaskins had collected more
than five thousand ollars on each
of the three days. This money was
paid on the accounts of farmers.
Many of the farmers are now out
of debt and so far have sold only
threo lugs, which is the lowest
grade of tobacco, being the smaller
leaves next to the ground.
REVENUE AVERAGES
S2OO PER ACRE.
It seems to be Impossible to find
any one who is not pleased with to
bacco and all seem to be happy
over the changed condition. Mr. J.
R. Tyson last year bought a small
farm promising to pay fifteen hun
dred dollars. He planted four and
a half acres of tobacco and sold the
product for eighteen hundred dol
lars. He paid all expenses for the
farm and had corn and other props
in addition to Ills tobacco. Ware
house figures together with tho
acreage given by the department of
agriculture in regard to tobacco
acreage in this county show that
the revenue averaged two hundred
dollars for each acre planted In to
bacco last year. The production
and the price are both much better
than last year. The three large
warehouses whose combined ca
pacity is about three quarters of a
million pounds, are crowded to the
limit. As soon as the days selling
comes to a close forces of men be
gin removing tho tobacco from the
floors while the farmers are un
loading preparatory for the sales of
the following day. Wagons arrive
at all hours of the night.
The arrangements for handling
the crop are well nigh perfect. The
farrnerdrive to the warehouse door
where his tobacco is taken charge
of, being unloaded and placed In flat
baskets and covered until it is auc
tioned off to the highest bidders. In
ten minutes after the sale is made
the farmer gets his check from the
warehouse owner. At the close of
the day's sales are totaled and the
several huyeiß give the warehouse
man a check for the purchase of the
day. Weighing, Insurance, ware
house commission and auction
charges are fixed by law and the
total charges amount to about
three and a half per cent.
The tobacco grown In south Geor
gia is classed as bright, flue cured
and is largely used for cigarettes
and plug cut. Some of the more
fancy grade is used for plug wrap
** There are an unusual number of
buyers at Nashville this year. The
grater part of the sales arc made
to the Imperial Tobacco Company
of England and the Export Tobac
co Company of France. There are
a considerable number of tobacco
growers here from North Carolina
and Virginia. They are buying for
shipment to North Carolina, where
the tobacco will be graded and held
for speculation. The crop in the
Carolines and Virginia is far be
low normal this year and these
farmer buyers are expecting tho
price to skyrocket.
Berrien county has been able to
make rapid advance in tobacco cul
ture because of the presence in the
county of twenty-five or thirty de
monstrators from North Carolina
and Virginia. The Individual farm
ers pay the demonstrator a small
per cent of the Income, usually
about two per cent. The demon
strator visits the farm from time
to time and directs the farmer until
he becomes familiar with the busl
"eOne peculiar fact In connection
with farming In this county Is that
comparatively no farm work is done
by colored people. The few negroes

to return after dark, and capture the
moonshiners. Returning to Winns
boro during the afternoon he depu
tized Bob and Lee Beckham, who ac
companied him on the raid, reaching
the vicinity about 11 o'clock.
As they neared the still the moon

ed later that he had been pierced
three times through the body. An
other negro fired at the officer, send
ing a bullet through his arm, and

WALES TO DINE
AT WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON. —One of the
highest compliments In diplomatic
usage —a strict private luncheop
with the executive family—ls plan
ned for the Prince of Wales upon
his arrival in the United States for
the International polo matches next
month at Meadowbrook, says the
Washington Post Mohday, adding
that It understands the royal vis
ltor will reach New York August
30 on the Berengarla.
The prince's call at the White
House was derided upon, the Post
relates, after King George had ve
toed a proposal that ho come to the
United States Incognito as Lord
Renfrew. The king held that In
ternational courtesy requires use of
the l’rlnee's highest title on a visit
to the United States even though it
might only he a pleasure trip and
this necessitated arrangements for
him to pay his respects formally to
the president.
The privacy of the luncheon, one
of few functions of Its kind In
American history, is attributed not
only to the mourning of the execu
tive family for Calvin Coolldge, Jr.,
hut to a desire to return similar
courtesies extended by the king and
queen recently to Secretary and
Mrs. Hughes and to Secretary Mel
lon and his daughter. Afterwards,
savs the Post, members of the cab
inet and their wives may be in
vited to the White House In a
strictly Informal manner, to wel
come the prince.
No other cities will he visited by
the royal party on this trip under
present plans, the newspaper con
tinues, and only one large social
function has been arranged, a din
ner and dance by Clarence Mackay,
at Harbor Mill, September 8, the
evening of the first of the series of
polo matches for the famous Inter
national challenge cup, the Ameri
can open championship and the
Monty Waterbury memorial trophy.

HEARING IS
INDICATED
CHICAGO.—In another week Na
than Leopold, Jr., and Richard
Loeb may know the penalty the law
will demand from them for tho kid
napping nnd slaying of Robert
Franks, whether they will be hang
ed or whether their counsel has
been .successful In their plea for
mitigation.
A speedy close of the trial, now
on the seventeenth day, is indicated
by the announcement of defense
counsel that no more alienists will

slayers, and after Foreman Leopold
and Allen Loeb, brothers of the de

Along the Stockade Route
With Judge Kent
By RICHARD W RILEY
David Schaeffer, white, Jerry
Williams and Bob Washington, col
ored, fnced Judge Kent Monday
morning, as starters for a heavy
weight billing, on charges of being
"plain drunks.” All three pleaded
guilty and were stuck up for five or
ton.
Will Avery and Elberta Avery,
colored, man and wife, were charg
ed with drunk, and disorderly con
duct, tho officer testifying that he
huw the woman break loose from
her husband and run and that Will
overtook Ids spouse and she veiled.
The officer then placed them un
der arrest. A witness, an old col
ored woman, said Elberta was at
hor homo and that Will came to get
her. The old woman said she asked
Will to get out and that he told
her he wouldn’t get out till he got
his wife, lie is said by the witness
to have caught his wife roughly by
the arm and that sho broke loose
from him and ran. He overtook her
and tho officer came and put them
under arrest. Will was lined sls
and Elberta dismissed.
John Martin, according to a wit
ness, was holding a one-man pa
rade up and down the 100 block of
Twelfth street Sunday using lan
guage that he didn’t learn in Sun
day school. The whole neighbor
hood heard his lecture that sounded
like he had studied it on board ship
and got the captain’s orders and
the mate's commands, all balled up
with his lesson. A fee of 25 or 50
days was considered an extremely
light rate by Judge Kent as a
charge for such sweet freedom of
speecli.
I Several coveys of blackbirds were
flushed by the officers in Saturday
night and Sunday raids on tho
roosts where the black-boys try
to hatch nickels and dimes out of
ivory cubes. They came in ‘‘sixes
and sevens”—some “Settings” run
ning ns high ns a baker’s dozen. In
this series of hunts, the cops went
away over the bag limit and Judge
Kent is thinking of trying them
for putting blackbirds in captivity
out of season. The bulk of tho bids
towed in however, were “bad eggs,”
so tho judge was considerate enough
to allow them their chpice of $lO
or 20 days, all but two pleading
guilty, since there was nothing clho
to do.
Mandy Barrett, a crippled nego,
was one of the two pleading not
guilty to assembling for the pur-

rocked the foundations of Kent’s

many more verbal floods like that

said it quick and snappy—”slo or 20
