HUFF LITIGATION

CASE Is OF MUCH INTEREST

Wednesday

Macon, Ga, April 23-An import

by Judge Speer in the Huff case. He
declined to allow an amendment Offer
led by attornews for Attorneys Halt
and Wimberly which proposed that
fee of $4,000 should be paid them by
assessing each of the complainants in
the case a proportionate amount.
The fee was awarded Hall and
Wimberly by Judge Speer, but was
set aside by the court of appeals and
upheld by the supreme court. The
fee was ordered to be paid out of Col.
Huff's funds.
The new move now is to secure the
fee by having it paid by the creditors
of Col. Huff, each being assessed com

that he did not think the question
should complicate the litigation at
this late date.

Such Was Action by Council
Last Night

A spirited discussion was precipitat
ed at the session of council last night
by a petition from Messrs. D. R. An
drews and r. B. Hooks, asking that the
city reimburse them for expenditures
on the opening and grading of the ex
tension of Glessner street.
The specific sum asked for was nam
ed in the petition as $2671O 1t was
requested that this sum be returne1
to the petitioners in the form of re-
bate on taxes. The work referred to
is that which has been done on Gless
ner street west from Lee.
AS soon asst was moved by Alderman
Oliver that the petition be granted, a
substitute motion to the contrary was
offered by Alderman Allen, who claim
ed that such action on the part of
council would be setting a dangerous
precedent.
The substitute was lost by vote OF
4 to 8, which was as follows: Ayes,

Cettinji, April 20. - After a final
desperate attack lasting "a hours, the
Montenegrin troops forced their way
into Scutari. The fortress for six
months, since the middle of October,
1912, has offered a stubborn and he
roic defense The assault which gave
the Montenegrins possession of the city
which has been the sole object cf
their war against Turkey, began
on Monday night. The Montenegrin
amy took the offensive along the en-
tire front. They completely surprised
the Ottoman defenders by pushing
right up to the Turkish positions,
"i,ere they engaged in close bayonet
fighting.
The Ottoman soldiers made a num-

they were finally compelled to fall

Turks 5000 killed during the siege
Nothing has been yet decided as

COMMITTEES At
LOGGERHEADS ON
The BUILDING
OF new SCHOOLS IN CITY
Prolonged Discussion at the
Council Meeting

Differences that have arisen in the
Board of Education were discussed
last night in connection with the ap-
pearance before council of Mr. J. W.
Hightower, chairman of the building
committee of the Board of Education,
who asked for information relative to
the authority of the committee which
he represented in regard to the letting
of contracts for the buildings to be
constructed with the funds to be made
available by the recent bond issue.
In making his statement before
council, Mr. Hightower asked that in
formation be given to the committee
relative to whether it had the author
ity to act in the matter, and. if so,
whether it could exceed an expenditure
of the amount named in the bond issue.
Mr.. Hightower also asked if the com
mittee was to act by itself, in conjunc-
ton with the building committee of
council, or jointly with that commit
tee. There was much discussion u
this matter by the members of council,
during which it was pointed out that
the special committee appointed by tn ,
Board of Education for the considera-
tion of building plans was unable to
agree with the regular committee,
whereupon the work wa .ntrusted ,
both committees.
Though no official action was taken
by council, it was made manifest that
the members of that body did not ia
vor an expenditure greater than that
authorized by the committee, and that
if the committees of the Board of Edu-
cation could not reach an agreement,
council would take up the matter of
supervising the construction of the
buildings.

662 bales, to only 44,421 ginned in Car
roll. In 1910 Carroll county produced
80, ,781 bales and 32,113 bales were gin

Sumter countys predonderance As
a cotton growing county is made very
clear by the official statistics issued
by the census bureau of the United
States and made available for publica-
ton this morning. The statistics
show that Sumter county easily leads
every county in the third district IN
point of production of cotton, as shown
by the number of bales ginned, and is
second in production to only one coun-
ty in the state, Laurens.
From these statistics it is seen that
last year Sumter county's ginned cot
ton amounted to 34,453 bales; in 1911
there were 4S,2O7 bales, and in 1910
26,827 bales. These figures are espe-
cially helpful in indicating the cotton
crop of Sumter county the past few
years, as the figures for 1912 and 1910
show crops that are about normal,
while those for 1911 are, of course, alb
normal.
In the Third congressional district
Sumter easily leads while Terrell
comes second. 1t is interesting to
note the six leading cotton producing
counties in the state, as well as the
figures for each county in the Third
congressional district, which are giv-
en- herewith.
Laurens lead all the counties of the
state with a production during 1912 OF
81, 921 bales, and Sumter is second n
the list with a production of 34453
bales during 1912. These two banner
counties produced large crops in 1911
D., and 1910, as we'll, comparative state
ment of production for these years
being as follows:
Laurens-1911, 6O,92O bales, 1910
S,400 bales.
Sumter, 1911, 4S,2O7 bales; 1910, 26,-
S27 bales.
Burke ranks third among the cot
ton producing counties of Georgia,
with 34,382 bales ginned in 1912, and
Terrell is fourth with a production of
33,36O bales during the same year.
Burke county produced 57,O86 bales in
1911, ard in 1910 a total of 3S,949 bales
were ginned in that county. Terren
fell considerably behind Burke in 1911,
ginning only 44,97O bales, and in 1910
27,29O bales were marketed in that
county.

CLEAN YOUR GRAIN
There Are Many Profitable Adyan.
tages Gained by Operation.
By N. coverdell.

The mere separating of weed-seeds
and. other foreign objects from small
grain should not be regarded as the
single benefit derived from the use of
the tanning
Clean grain will present much bet
ter appearance on the market, and also
command higher price, since it actu-
ally delivers more pounds of good, pure
grain than does a like quantity of UNI
cleaned grain.
Uncleaned grain contains more dust
and other non-nourishing material than
most farmers suppose, and the fan
ning-mill removes these, making the
grain actually healthier for stock feed
ing purposes, and consequently better
adapted to nourishing and developing
the tissues of the body.
Grain that has not been cleaned by
the fanning-mill, but fed to the stock
just as it comes from the threshing ma
chine, will pass through the animals
with part of it remaining unchanged,
and where there are weed seed inn
purities, these are transported back to
uAS ASAS4S Ia ShS NuduuIC do ~ ID A0utSO
and spread for fertilizing purposes.
Many of these seeds do not have their
terminating qualities impaired by pass
ing through the animals, and by being
scattered with the manure they find
rich seed bed in which to sprout and
develop bounteous crop of weeds the
following season.
Ranking still above the importance of
cleaning grain to guard against seeding
the farm to weed pests, comes that of
improvement in both the quantity and
quality of the crops produced. The
sowing of carefully selected seed grain
from supply that has been passed
through the tanning mill will, if persis-
ted in from one year to another, work
wonders in the small grain crop. 1t will
mean plumper, heavier and soldier
grain for seed-one that will possess
strong terminating qualities and propa-
gate sturdy, vigorous plant. Under
such system, it will require much less
seed to sow than if light, weak seed
were sown. The stand of plants is
sure to be of uniform size, vigor and
productiveness.

FISH STORY is UP TO DATE
Large Swarm o. Electric crsa4urss
sesIsss Ship In Gulf Stream,
Sailors Assert.


Boston.-A remarkable story is told
BY the crew Of the British treighter
Rochelle, which arrived four days late
from San Domingo. According to
stories BY several Of the men, the de-
lay was due principally to electric
fishes, otherwise known as torpedo
fishes, which were attracted by thu
steel plates Of the vessel and fastened
themselves by hundreds against her
bottom and sides.
The steamer was in the gulf
stream. north of Cuba, when she be-
gan to slow down. The Officers were
unable to explain the change in the
progress Of the craft. Several sailors
said they felt tinging sensation
about their feet and finger tips. The
steamer was. held back strangely.
Members of the crew became alarmed.
A sailor looked over the side and
says 1t was plastered with strange.
looking fishes. They were two or
three thick along the port side under
water. The starboard side also was
covered.
AS the Rochelle moved north and
got out Of the warm waters of the
stream the fishes dropped of and the
vessel resumed her speed.
