FRIDAY, NOV 12, 1909.
Atlanta is reaping enormous re¬
turns on her $300,000 automobile
race track this week.
--^
Twenty-five automobiles started
from Albany Monday in an endu¬
rance run to Atlanta.
--—-
On the first day of November
the ginners reports show this
year’s cotton crop 1,200,000 bales
short of last year’s crop on the
same date.
Officer It. T. itaiey, for eighteen
years a membor of the Albany
police force, has resigned. He
gave ill health as the cause for his
resignation.
The Honduran navy was in
collision with a banana boat the
other day and sank. The “navy”
consisted of a single transformed
tug used as a gun boat.
Berrien county has ten banks.
Which goes to show, as an ex
change, remarks, that the people
over there do not believe in put¬
ting all their eggs in one basket.
The Moultrie Observer thinks
that fifteen cent cotton, and cor¬
responding prices for other farm
products will solve the problem of
“How to keep the boys on the
farm.”
Blakely has been most unfortu¬
nate lately in the matter of lives.
Several serious conflagrations have
visited that city in the past few
weeks destroying handsome houses
and entailing heavy losses.
The epidemic of fires in neigh¬
boring towns, destroying ninny
thousands of dollars worth of prop¬
erty, should cause the citizens of
Camilla to use every precaution to
prevent an outbreak here. The
extreme dry weather of late has
rendered every wooden building
a veritable tinder box and a little
fire and wind occurring at the same
time would be extremely danger¬
ous to our little city.
------ -m *--
Cotton declined several dollars a
bale last Friday and Saturday and
it seemed that the bottom would
drop out of the market. The
bulls got the upper hand again
Tuesday, however, and the price
has been rising steadily since. The
fluctuation was probably caused
by heavy speculators turning
loose to get a new hold and there
seems to be little prospect of the
price going down to remain down
for any length of time.
The Camilla Enterprise says
“There is a very strong sentiment
developing to pay the Georgia
school teachers and let some other
department suffer for a while.”
Wrong. The sentiment has been
developed for years, but the
trouble is with the legislators who
will continue the burden on the
teachers just as long as somebody
has got to suffer, simply because
the teachers are feared less when
voting time comes around. ’Tis
a shame but an absolute fact.—
Calhoun County Courier.
Growing Japanese Walnuts.
So much interest has been
centered in the pecan culture of
late that many of our people seem
to have lost sight of the fact that
there are a number of other nut
crops that can be successfully
grown and marketed at a profitable
figure here in South Georgia.
An example in this direction
can be found in an orchard of
Japanese Walnuts on the farm of
Miss Laura Bennett, near Camilla,
where 2500 trees of this variety
are growing rapidly and promise
to pay handsomely on the invest¬
ment in a few years. The trees
are now eight years old and have
been bearing fruit for two years,
but not in sufficient quantity to be¬
gin marketing therm They are
similar to the walnuts (common in
this section, except that the hulls
are not so thick and the kernel
is of a finer flavor.
Miss Bennett takes great in¬
terest in plant culture and some
time ago decided to raise Japanese
and English Walnuts in conjunc¬
tion with pecans. Her experience
with the former has been entirely
satisfactory, so far, but the
English Walnuts, of which she im¬
ported 1000 trees from France,
were a failure on account of some
fungus disease which attacked the
roots of the plants soon after they
were set out, only oue tree out of
the thousand living.
The orchard of Japanese Wal¬
nuts cover an area of about 100
acres. It is said that each tree,
when fully developed, will pro¬
duce from 10 to 15 bushels of Aval
nuts and even at the low estimate
of 8 or 10 cents per pound it can
easily be seen how enormously
profitable tliey will prove.
However Miss Bennett does not
expect them to come up to all the
sanguine promises of the nurseries
but believes they will be more
satisfactory than ordinary crops
with the accompanying bothers of
tenants and croppers.
Corn Carnival Next Week in Al*
bany.
Albany’s first Corn Carnival, an
idea tnat grew out of the Albany
Herald,s corn growing contest, will
open November in that city next Tuesday,
lfith. Elaborate prepa¬
rations are being made to enter¬
tain visitors during the five days
it is to last and it is expected that
hundreds of people will visit that
city from adjoining counties dur¬
ing the celebrations.
The amusement committee have
secured an airship exhibition and
those who go to Albany will see
Prof. Stobel sail over the city
twice daily in his wonderful
machine.
The, $350 in cash prizes offered
by the Herald for the best yields
of corn on one acre will lie distrib¬
uted Tuesday. This should be
of special interest to farmers ofthe
this section who are looking for
better methods of planting and
cultivating this important crop.
The railroads will give reduced
rates.

I Local News!
Col. H. A. Peacock spent
Wednesday in Atlanta.
Mr. Wyatt Joiner is spending
several days in Atlanta.
Mr. J. G. Perry, who has been
spending several days in the city
with home folks, returned to Daw¬
son Monday, where, as secretary to
Hon. J. M. Griggs, he will make
preparations for the coming ses¬
sion of congress.
Mrs. J. H. Orr, Mis. Charlie
Sutton, Miss Mary Sutton and
Mrs. Claude Bean, arrived in the
city Wednesday morning from
Shelbyville, Tenn., to visit the
families of Messrs. E. L. Whit
Avorth, T. A. Acree and Judge
J. G. Wood foi several days.
Mr. Sim Smith left Friday even¬
ing for Ft. Meyers, Fla. where he
has accepted a position with the
Atlantic Coast Line. For several
months he has been assisting Mr.
A. J. Richardson at the A. C. L.
station here and has proven him¬
self of the fiber out of which good
railroad men are developed. We
Avish him rapid promotion in the
service of the company.
Mr. H. F. Harrell, manager of
the Bludwine Bottling Co., showed
us a telegram this Aveek, which he
had received lroin Mr. H. C. An¬
derson, the originator of Bludwine,
stating that the beverage had won
five diplomas, highest awards,
in the competitive exhibits at the
Macon State Fair. This is an ex¬
cellent showing, considering the
rivalry Avhich exists in the manu¬
facture of soft drinks.
The negro, Bill Smith, Avho was
convicted of murder at the recent
term of Superior Court and sen¬
tenced to ninety nine years in the
penitentiary, was shackled and
turned over to the county convict
warden Friday to begin his sen¬
tence on Mitchell county public
roads. In Smith’s case retribu¬
tion came swiftly. In less than
two weeks after he had aided and
abetted in a double murder, he had
commenced serving a life sentence
for the crime.
Mr. Ed. Thomas, a Valdosta
contractor, with a large force of
hands, arrived in the city the first
of the week to commence work on
the residence of Mr. O. O. Worley
on Peachtree street. About all
the material is on the ground and
Mr, Thomas expects to complete
the building and have it ready for
occupancy at an early date. The
location selected by Mr. Worley is
one of the prettiest in toivn and
the home he has planned to build
w ill be a credit to the locality.
