Lovingston. Va, October 3.-The
spectacular killing of DR.. James c.
Petit, by Ben Hubbard. has taken all
the life out of the local political cam
paign in Nelson county.
Great crowds of people came here
on the day OF the homicide, many OF
them to talk politics and to electioneeI
for their friends, but at the first crack
of Hubard's gun, interest suddenly
switched to his horrible deed, and now
1t Is difficult to engage the average
citizen In a discussion of any other
general topic Certain it is that it has
completely overshadowed the politi-
cal campaign. and 1t will not be an
easy task for the candidates to re-
vive interest therein until the case is
disposed of in court.
The sheriff and Commemorative
attorney are both engaged in warm
contests for reelection, but the time
of each will be fully taken UP with
the Hubbard case until II is over, while
their competitors are falling to arouse
interest for themselves, owing to tho
agitated state of the public mind.
The trial promises to be OF brief
duration. however, so far as Nelson
county is concerned, % it Is generally
believed that the defense will ask

venue. 1t is not improbable that DIR.

Big COMPANY IS FORMED
TO PUT UP POTATOES
Tubes Will Be Canned Like
Peaches

Americas will again have this sum-
mer among it's "infant industries"
plant the like of which there are few
in the South. This is a potato canning
plant, where the tubers will be put up
in three-pound tins for the local trade
as well as for shipment over the en-
tire country.
The experiment was tried here last
season upon a small scale at the Ware
orchard and found to work success
fully. This season the business will
be enlarged.
With a curtailed peach crop, more
attention will be given the canning
of fruits and vegetables, berries and
potatoes by the several canning con-
Germs in successful operation in Ame"-
icus, and this year the canning of
sweet potatoes will doubtless assume
rather large proportions.
Not can of potatoes can be found
today in an Americas store for the
reason they are not put up here, al
IL ough this article is in almost daily
demand as a wholesome nutritious and
Inexpensive table dish
Potatoes can be cooked and canned
at slight cost, and there is fine profit
il the industry.
The smaller potatoes varying in size
from a hickory nut to an apple are
the kind preferred by the canneries,
and usually these small tubers are
thrown away by the farmers as toe
small to handle, or else left in the
felus for the hogs But they will be
utilized now at handsome profit
There are three large canning fac
tories in Americas, and with less than
half peach crop to can or ship, the
plants will probably engage largely

and small berries.
