RAISING CORN IN SOUTHWEST
GEORGIA.

Again it has been conclusively DEM
onstrated, If any further demonstra-
ton were necessary, that crops of
corn can be raised in this section of
Georgia that equal, if they do not ex-
coed. the finest crops raised in the
richest and most virgin soil of the
far-famed corn country of the West.
To be sure fertilizing is required, but
when the yield is so abundant it Is
quite evident that the farmer is well
repaid for the money expended to en-
rich the soil and make it bear bounti-
fully of the grain.
The recent contest at Albany, in
which prizes were offered for the
greatest production of corn to the
acre, resulted In a number of notable
entries. contestants coming from sew
eral counties and proving conclusive
ly that they had raised from eighty 20
one hundred and ten bushels of corn
to the acre. The prize went to a
Thomas county man, whose yield was
the latter figure.
We do not recall whether this exceeds
the highest yield in the recent con-
test in Terrell county or not, but If
so it was somewhat of a nip-and-tuck
race between the winners. Other
counties in South and Southwest Geor-
gia have also come forward with
bumper yields of corn this season.
Even here in Sumter, with no contest
ON, and with simply good farming at
work stimulated by no hopes to win
publicity and special honors, extern
sive acreages have yielded this year
over fifty bushels to the acre. With
corn bringing IS cents bushel, it is
easy to see that corn is a profitable
crop.
These corn contests have a practical
result in showing to the farmers of
this section that if they have in the
past believed that this is not good
corn country, that the grain cannot
be raised here. proatably, they have
been misinformed and standing in
their own light. South Georgia's pros
perity will be promoted greatly as the
farmers put more and more corn into
the ground. Especially will this be
true the coming year, when there is q
likelihood of an excessive acreage of
cotton and a return to lower prices.
The man who has plenty of corn and
oats and hay can stand return to
cotton prices below 10 cents far bet
ter than can the planter who gives
his attention entirely to cotton and is
forced, with lower values for his sta
pie, to pay the West high prices for
his supplies of feedstuffs.

THE AIRSHIP dAZER.

He has neck as stiff as hone,
There's nothing that can bend it.
He started out last week alone
To seek an atrship In the zone
Where man was soon to send it.
He skyward gazed from dawn till dark,
From point to point he shifted;
He heard below the auto spark,
The small boy shout, mongrel bark,
But kept his face uplifted.
The evening came, he still looked high
Into the starry heaven;
Eight, nine o'clock passed slowly by,
The moon came out and lit the sky;
He stayed till half past leven.
Next morning he was up and out
And every morn succeeding;
He never deigned to look about,
Although he still heard urchins shout,
But kept the heavens reading.
At last murmur caught his ear,
Or some gay rustic jabbed him;
He tried at last his sight to clear,
Look down on earth, but, dear, oh,
dear!
His neck Just up and stabbed him!
Today he wears plaster cast
That scars above his collar,
His ears and chin are buckled fast,
But he has seen ship at last

PARIS, October l2.-Before the final
session of the automobile conference,
NJ. Miller and the minister of public
works declared that the organization
had carried vexed international ques-
tion regarding this sport a long way
toward settlement. Tourists of every
nationality would be glad to hear, he
said, that not fewer than nine countries
had entered an agreement according to
which they would recognize one an
other s cards after certain formalities,
including the examination of chautfeurs.
These cards should be available not
only for the current year of issue, but
for twelve months from the date of
individual issue.
1t was to be regretted, said the min
lister, that the United States and Swift
zerland were not yet able to join the
union because the automobile questions
in those countries are under state

.GUMbS REPLIES
TO THE STAR

Editor Advertiser: Allow me space
in your valuable paper to deny the
accusation in the Star in which it claims
that l am the instigator of the charge
of graft against Mr.. Leal. 1t is true
that | am aware of the facts connected
with the case, and it is also true that
| informed the proper authorities here,
but that was sometime prior to Mr..
Leal IS absence from the Island. What
ever l said about Mr.. Leal at that time
l say now and willing to say at any
time in public. The Star also accuses
me of writing anonymous letters to the
county attorney, and in reference to
that letter l like to say that 1 did not
write it, because even if l intended to
write it l would have signed my name
to it and never would have sent it to
the county attorneys office. There
could be no reason for me to hide my
identity, because in the presence of
Mr.. Leal S friends and even in the
presence of his subordinate officers
spoke the matter clearly and fearlessly,
and within his own hearing.
That Star says that / have been in.
terpreter for short times in the courts.
l have been an interpreter in the cir.
cult court for five years and have in
my possession recommendation stat.
ing that fact signed by Judge De Bolt,
Judge Robinson and Judge Lindsay.
The reason that / do not interpret in
the courts any more is simply because
| do not happen to be the choice of
the county attorneys department. The
Star refers to me as a Spanish negro
and I wish to state here that 1 am not
Spanish negro but just simply a
negro. Respectfully yours,
ALFRED GUMBS.
