Better Service Than Ever
it I scope and efficiency of long distance telephone
service has made our nation one big friendly
neighborhood. To talk across the continent is
almost as easy as calling across the hedge to
your next-door neighbor.
The long distance lines in Georgia are a part of
this nation-wide system, and also serve a vital need in
the business life of the Stafe and the South.
To care for this growing demand will require an
expenditure of $336,000 this year for reconstruction
and additions to the long distance system in Georgia
alone.
The long distance service is better than ever before.
The transmission is clear and the operators are han¬
dling a larger volume of calls with speed and accuracy.
Merchants, manufacturers and business men are
utilizing this service to increase business and reduce
expenses. Why not try it?

Newspapers Must Not
Publish Lucky Numbers
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The latest
scheme of newspapers to increase cir¬
culation by offering prizes for $1 or
$2 bills bearing certain numbers was
declared unlawful yesterday by So¬
licitor Donnelly of the Postoffiee De¬
partment. He ruled that the prac¬
tice was a violation of the postal lot¬
tery laws barred publications offering
such prizes_from the mails.
The scheme has been operated in
many parts of the county by many
nwspapers. When it came to the
attention of (the Postoffice Depart¬
ment that such publications were be¬
ing circulated through the mails, the
publishers immediately were notified.
In New York several newspapers
adopted the plan, in some cases pub¬
lishing the lucky number only in the
city editions which formally get into
the mails only through posting by
individuals. The department howey
er, pointed out to the publishers that
in such instances the individuals were
liable to punishment for violating the
postal laws and publication of the
lucky number's was stopped.
Solicitor Donnelly declared the
scheme to be a distribution of prizes
by chance in violation of Section 213
of the penal code. Conviction carries
a fine of not more than $1,000 or im¬
prisonment for not more than two
years. The solicitor also called at¬
tention that similar schemes of print¬
ing lucky names from directories and
giving prizes to their owners are bar¬
red.
TOBACCO DISPLAY
AT THE STATE FAIR
AGRICULTURAL AND INDUS¬
TRIAL DEPARTMENT OF A. C.
L. RAILROAD HAS BOOTH.
ATLANTA, Ga.—A specially inter¬
esting agricultural feature of the
Southeastern Fair now being held at
Lakewood Park is the exhibits of the
bright leaf tobacco industry of South
Georgia and North Florida. These
exhibits are made upon invitation and
request of the Fair management who
were anxious that this growing indus¬
try should be represented in a com¬
prehensive way at this great agricul¬
tural fair.
The Agricultural and Industrial De¬
partment of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad, which has been very active
in establishing bright leaf tobacco
growing on a profitable and perma
ment basis in South Georgia and
North Florida, has a very attractive
and interesting tobacco booth of an
educational character. Attention is
directed to the fact that billions of
pounds of tobacco of various types
are produced in different parts of the
world each year, but that bright leaf
or flue cured tobacco has been suc¬
cessfully grown only in limited areas
of Virginia, the Carolinas, South Geor¬
gia and North Florida. Attention is
further called to the fact that the
light colored sandy loam soils of
South Georgia and North Florida pro
duce the finest grade of bright leaf to¬
bacco and that efforts to grow this
type of tobacco on the stiff red or
black lands result in disappointment
and financial loss. The Coast Line
booth is profusely decorated with at¬
tractive pictures with explanatory le¬
gends showing the principal opera¬
tions in the growing and marketing
beds protected with tobacco cloth;
of bright leaf tobacco, including seed
plant beds with plants ready to pull;
transplanting by horse drawn ma¬
chine transplanter; tobacco fields rea¬
dy to harvest; the stringing of tobac¬
co on sticks before it is placed barn iiythe in
barn to be cured; curing'
which the leaf is cured, and tobacco
on sales warehouse floor with auction
sale in progress. There is also on ex¬
hibition in this booth a quantity of
high grade bright leaf tobacco grown
in South Georgia and North Florida
and literature is being distributed tell¬
ing of the advantages of this terri¬
tory, not only for the protection of
bright leaf tobacco, but for growing
other agricultural crops.
This industry is further represented
by very fine exhibits of bright leaf
tobacco from Lowndes, Thomas and
Coffee counties. The Lowndes County
exhibit sponsored by the Valdosta
Chamber of Commerce, and in charge
of Mr. R. W. Miller, County Agricul¬
tural Agent, Valdosta, Ga., has some
very fine, well arranged samples of
the different grades of bright leaf to
bacco, some of which this year sold up
to $55.00 per hundred pounds.
The Thomas County display is in
charge of Mr. Guy S. Jones, represent¬
ing the Thomasville Chamber of Com
meree and the Thomas County To¬
bacco Warehouse, and in addition to
high grade tobacco contains peanuts,
sugar cane and other farm crops
which the tobacco warehouse at Thom
asville is buying since the close of the
tobacco season, thereby furnishing a
market for all kinds of farm products.
The Coffee County show, sponsored
by the Douglas Kiwanis Club and in
charge of Mr. A, S. Bussey, County
Agricultural Agent, contains a bed
of tobacco plants five weeks after sow ¬
ing and also plants in a more advanc¬
ed stage. A very interesting feature
of this booth is a large coffee pot
made of bright.leaf tobacco pouring
dollars into the farmers hands. On a
huge map of Georgia the bright leaf
tobacco belt is shown with Coffee
County in the center of it and also
showing that Douglas led in volume
of sales in 1925.
These exhibits of bright leaf to¬
bacco are attracting a great deal of
attention as evidenced by the large
crowds of visitors who flock to these
booths and ask question and are ser¬
ving to further educate the people
to the great opportunities in South
Georgia and North Florida for the
homeseeker and investor.

feint, but the dog has been trained ,s o
that whenever he is left he finds his
way back. Oq the Canadian side a
confederate of the smuggler loads a
specially built collar with drugs, val¬
ued up to $3,000. The collar is ccm
sealed in the thick hair of the animal.,
The smuggler does not use the same
port of entry all the time. He regis¬
ters his car in entering Canada and
everything is done regularly so that
no clues can be obtained in this man¬
ner.
Another difficulty the officers have
in ascertaining the identity of v the
owner of the dog is that many cars
have police dogs.
The officers received their informa¬
tion from a former smuggler who has
reformed.
