WAYCROSS rs BOOMING,
SAYS JUDGE BENNETT

Judge John w. Bennett. of Waycross,
retiring solicitor general of the Bruins
wick circuit, was in Atlanta on official
business, Monday morning, but was Incl
dentally loaded with the essential facts
ang fggers' Of a boom story for Way
cross.
"A prominent man who recently visit
ed Waycross for the first time predicted
that it will be the biggest city in south
Georgia, excepting Savannah, within hve
years." said Judge Bennett
"As it is. we have moved pretty nearly
half of Savannah over to our town. with
the Atlantic Coast Line shops" contin-
ued the solicitor. He said that some 500
men are to be added soon to the employees
who have recently been located in Way
cross at the A. c. LIS new shops, and
that these 700 or 500 will have been in
creased to something like 5000, according
to the master mechanic, before the shops
are in full operation" He adds that most
of the men have families, and that near
" all of them draw good wages as skill
ed mechanics The shops, says Judge Ben
nett, are half in and half out of the cor
poration OF Waycross, and are enclosed
within a fence three miles long that So
900 was spent in building. He speaks OF
shop buildings already erected, five and
six hundred feet long and seventy and
eighty feet wide; and Of 80 miles of yard
track within the enclosure. "They are
the biggest shops in south Georgia." he
adds.
Judge Bennett also speaks of the we'll
authenticated rumor already current, to
the effect that the Atlantic Coast Line
will soon move it's general offices from
Wilmington, N. c., to Waycross.
Also, he says, the plant Of the South
Atlantic Car and Manufacturing company
at Waycross has just opened, with big

HEARD OF SOUTH
FOR ITS LYNCHINGS
BUT PROF. HI. KOHT, OF NORWAY,
DECLARES THAT THIS WAS
NOT HIS Personal OPINION
OF THIS SECTION.

H. Koht, professor of history in the
University of Christiania, Norway. was a
visitor at the capitol, Monday morning.
He was presented to the various Off
GERS of the state and to Governor Smith
by Adjutant General Scott, and seemed
much interested by his tour of Georgia
state house.
Professor Koht has been in the states
some four months, studying United States
history, on which he will lecture at MS
university when he returns to Norway.
Incidentally, in that lecture Professor
Koht will be the first to respond to a
growing demand which he says exists in
his home country for more intimate par
ticulars about the country that so many
Norwegians have been led to adopt as
! their own.
Just now Professor Koht is studying
the south. He expects to spend two or
three days in Atlanta, probably occu-
plying a large part of his time In the
| state library. From here he will so to
| Montgomery, Ala. and thence he will
continue through the south, going later
| to the northwest to conclude his tour
with short stay in the little Norway"
of the United States.
| 81 am told that Little Norway around
! through Minnesota and the Dakotas, mas
almost as many Norwegian inha bitants
as Norway ITSELF" is an interesting Cd
servation that Professor Koht brings with
him. He says that the people Of his own
country are yearly growing more and
more interested in this great republic,
and particularly are they anxious to learn
more of the south.
| You see we hear so little from the
SOUTH" he explains. Everything we get
comes through New York, and II II
weren't for our biographies we would
hardly ever know that there is such
distinct section as the south. All we
ever hear from here is about lynchings.
Every now and then we read that some
body has been lynched."
| But Professor Koht denied that he had
expected to fild the nearest limb occu-
pied when he entered the south. He was
not he humorously averred, to be classed
with the man who saw picture or an
Eel Paso, Texas, street and who imme-
diately exclaimed: why. / don't see any
ody shooting anybody else. This cant
be Ell Paso." -... ..
| Professor Koht speaks excellent Eng
iIish. 1t is his first visit to America, and
he is interested in all that he sees.

LOCKED IN CELL, HE
LAYS IMAGINARY BRICK

r. ]. Carr, who lives on East Twelfth
street, is confined at police station in
a half demented condition. His work
is that of a bricklayer and he spends
his time busily laying imaginary brick
on the cement floor Of his cell. He
starts at one side, lays a row of brick
from an imaginary pile that he seems
to see at his side, then fills in daubs
Of imaginary mortar. Now and then he
straightens up and mops his brow as
though his work tires him.
A physician who called at the station
house to treat the man says that he
has been on a prolonged spree, and
that the dissipation has affected his
mind.

Heavy clay land. such as you describe

strong soil lat is retentive of moisture
Corn also revels in vegetable matter,
though corn responds quite as readily to
the enrichment of the soil which will
supply II with humus. Relatively speak
ing, we believe that corn requires a
stronger and richer soil than cotton. A
good fertilizer to use on this land would
be a mixture containing LOO pounds OF
acid phosphate, 200 pounds of cotton seed
