$1,000 POUNDS OF FISH CAUGHT
In GEORGIA.

Pearson, Ca, Nov. 2.-The fish
ing today at Guests mill pond
eight miles South of Pearson, was
the event of the seasons in this
section. Mr.. F. F. Guest had let
the water off his mill pond, and
advertised extensively that today
he would sell tickets for 81 each,
which would entltle the holder to
go into the pond with seine, net,
gig or any othe- device and take
all the fish he could catch.
There were quite 1000 people
on the ground, coming from the
counties of Coffee, Appling, Ware,
Clinch, Irwin and Berrien. A
conservative estimate places the
number of tickets sod at 800, and
that many men-if not more
were in the water, which covered
an area OF not exceeding fifty
acres. The catch of fish was i'm =.
mense, not less than 5,000pounds,
chiefly of trout, Dream, perch, jack
and pike, being caught. Trout,
weighing 10 to II pounds, we're
plentiful. The catch of bream was
never excelled in South Georgia
for quantity and quality.
The day passed off without un-
pleasant incident. The people
went for fun and fish, and got
both in abundance.

We heard a man say the other
day that negro renter Oh his
place had made 10 bales of cotton
this season with q 500 mule. He
also stated one bale of it would
pay the negro's debts. Who said
this wasn't the black mans coun-
try? He can|do better here than
anywhere else under the sun. This
should be lesson to others of his
race. Especially that class that
loaf about tho towns, and depend
on what odd jobs they can pick up.

IL seems that all kinds of enter
prises succeed when the right kind
of men get hold of them. There.
for instance, is the case of the
Missouri man who invested 1929
in sheep last fall and has sold
1927 worth of wool, has 143 lambs
that will average 80 pounds when
ready for market, which at four
cents pound makes them worth
1912. Total income from his flock
Of sheep $3.50, and he still has all
the sheep he started with.

St. Louis has been the mecca
for the crooks of the country dur
ing the Worlds Fair. They Jour
neyed there from all parts of the
land, but the splendid police de-
partment of ST. Louis was ready

a warm reception. During the six

hended over five hundred noted
criminals. Some of them have
been sentenced to Imprisonment
in St. Louis, others have been
turned over to the authorities else
where, aud still others, against
whom no specific charge could be
made, were given a few hours to
leave town.

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork, " was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
sEmulSionisth emod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, rs half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
OF cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

Washington, April 6.-The attention day last was called to a statement thas in the publication of the findings of the court of inquiry on the collision of the Missouri and Illinois, two dispatches sent by high authority in Washing ton to a member of the court previous to the finding were not included. The statement was called to the attention of the president also. and with his ap- proval Secretary Moody on Monday sent the following telegram to Rear Admiral William c. Wise. Capt. c. H. Davis and Capt J. G. Eaton, constitut- ing the court of inquiry, and to Lieut.. Frank H. Clark, jr., the judge advocate of the court:

roPRorEor MERGER1NTER
Sudden DIseovsry Regarding Certain
 Law. Of western saases.

St. Paul. April 6.-The Dispatch to- day says: Laws of western states pro- hibiting parallel lines from owning or controlling each other, and which were so vigorously attacked by the Northern Securities company when the merger was being formed, have suddenly been found very advantageous to merger in- terests, inasmuch as they may be em- ployed to prevent the Hartman people from getting control of the Northern Pacific
 Laws which once threatened to break up the combination are to be employed in protecting it. This somewhat para doxical situation came to light to-day when 1t was learned that Attorney General Donovan, of Montana, who had hastily been summoned to St. Paul by the Great Northern interests, was inn portuned to use the strength of the Montana laws to prevent the Hartman interests, through the Oregon Short Line, from getting control of the North ern Pacific.
 Attorney-GeneralD Donovan was clos eted with the Great Northern officials for some time.
 II IS supposed that as sOOH aS ne re- turns to Montana he will prepare an action bringing into play the Montana laws prohibiting such consultations. There are one or two other western states which have similar laws, and the legal departments of these states will be interrogated as to their willingness to act. That Montana has been asked to take the matter up is confirmed in a seemingly official statement by the Great Northern interests as follows:
 "The question of the legality of the purchase as outlined in the petition will be fought in the preliminary battle, and is admittedly ground on which the company will oppose the petition. The right of the Oregon Short Line to acquire majority interest in the Northern Pacific will be questioned, since, under the laws of Montana and other states to which the western line 1 is subject, there is grave doubt that it could legally hold the Northern Pacific if it so desired These laws, the com pany will contend, prevent the Oregon Short Line from either owning or vot- ing the stock which it demands"

 ''The spirit of peace and industry has settled over the land. Every one has his farm back. and the people are now at work cultivating them. Like in all countries at the close of a war, there are some dissatisfied spirits, but the great majority of people are reconciled and happy.
