Summers, Pierce { Naddocks
At The Grand Monday.

In the language Of the show
world, This is one of the
strongest frame-ups" that could
be q,}tten together to produce
vaudeville playlets.
Miss Summers is one of the
best and most versatile leading
women in the south and always
wins her audience. Pierce and
Maddocks have also proven their
ability on numerous occasions,
and with these three there can
be no possible chance of disap-
pointment for an audience.
The playlets to be offered are
"Caprice," THE Train Robbers
Love-" "The Law" "A Propos-
al Under Difficulties" and "A
Day in Bingville," all of which
are different from the ordinary
and worth much more than the
price of admission asked.
The opening playlet Monday
night will be Caprice, in which
Miss Summers plays a typical
country girl, and one we'll worth
seeing.
Both playlets and pictures will
change nightly. but the price
will remain the same-10 cents
to all.

raj Chemistry.

The Bureau of Soils of the United
States Department Of agriculture and
the Georgia State College of Agricul-

soil survey of Ben Hill county and the
college has completed chemical an
alysis of the type of soils. While the
bureau of soils of the government is
authorized only to make physical an
alysis and thereby dedk rmine the soil
type, the college believes it necessary
to go further, make an exhaustive
study of the plant food content of
the various types, by making chemical
analysis and by conducting crop eX-
periments.
Ben Hill county IL the first one to
be completed so far as the soil sur

On by Fishermen
More Trouble for the De-
partment.

Atlanta, May IA. Deputy game
wardens, sent by State Game
Warden Mercer to protect the
property rights of those owning
the land around Venable Pond,
near Stone Mountain, were fired
on several times last night, but
one was injured.
land owners have complained
70 the state game warden that
parties were fishing and dyna-
hitting in the pond without per-
mission of the owners, and furth-
ermore, were constantly commit
ting acts of vandalism by sink
ing boats and damaging other
property belonging to people
owning the pond.
Warden Mercer sent Deputies
S. L. WAgonner and A. S. John
ston to camp at the pond and see
that the law was enforced. This
morning he received a telephone
message from the men to the
effect that they had been fired
on last night, but no injury was
sustained. They wanted lnstruc-
tons.
Shoot back and try to aim
true" was the instructions.
"Stand by your guns, and | will
send more wardens to aid you IT
necessary.
So Midtown doesn't seem to be
the only trouble on nallu Ill Cne
way of enforcing the law as to
fishing rights.
Warden Mercer left tonight for
Midtown, and before leaving sta
ted that he would confer with all
those interested and try to settle
the trouble before the cases
against the Is men came up for
trial in Nashville on May 10. He
is hopeful of an amicable adjust

that the cases will all be dismiss
ed.
He will not attempt to disturb
the right of any land owner to
fish all they wish or to issue per-
mits to others to do so, if they
desire to issue them.

Many communities in the state feel
disappointed that they have not been
able to get corn clubs and canning

time will admit every community In
the state will eventually be given at

join the movement for interesting the

as possible even though there is no
hope of soon getting an organizer for
work Nothing is exciting the interest

Will These Be The
Road Rules for the Future

1. Upon discovering an approach
ing team the autoists must stop off
side and cover his machine with a
blanket painted to correspond with
the scenery.
2. The speed limit on country
roads this year will be secret and
the penalty for violation will be $40
for every mile the offender is caught
going in excess of it.
3. On approaching acorner where
he cannot command a view of the
road ahead the autoist must stop not
less than 100 yards from the turn,
foot his horn, ring bell, fire re-
volver, halo, and send up three
bombs at intervals of five minutes.
4. Autos must be seasonably
painted, that is so they will merge
with the pastoral ensemble and not
be startling. They must be green in
spring, golden in summer, red in au-
tumn and white in winter.
5. All members of this society will

give up Sunday to chasing autos,
shooting and shouting at them, max
ing arrests and otherwise discourage
ing country touring on that day. -
6. In case a horse will not pass a
car the autoist will take the machine
apart as rapidly as possible and hide
the pieces in the grass.
7. In case a car approaches a
farmers house when the roads are
dusty it will slow down to one mile
an hour and the chauffeur will lay
dust in front of the house with a
hand sprinkler worked over the DASH
board.-Ex.

Good Roads Work.

The County Court has set the dates
for the two days road work, Septem-
Der 10 and II, and appointed COM
mittee to stimulate, encourage and
have some sort of direction of the
work. The Committee suggests that
efforts be made to make these two
days red letter days as far as the road
work and Bates county is concerned.
A letter has been sent to all the
members of the township boards
suggesting that they together with
the road overseers appoint compe-
tent men to have charge of certain
districts, superintend the work, see
that proper tools be provided, etc.
The committee suggests, where. nee
essary, that the road way be cleared
of weeds and brush, that hedges be
trimped down to five feet Gas that
is the requirement on county seat to
county seat roads,, that any moneys
donated be used to purchase mater
ial, for concrete culverts, blasting
down hills, or any other thing your
best judgment suggests.
As you will see by the daily papers,
the entire state is becomming very
much interested and as a result old
Missouri is going to have better roads
and get some mighty good adver-
Using.
Let every body get busy.

BUSINESS is LITTLE
SHORT AT COMPRESS
Cotton Receipts There Not
Equal Others

While cotton receipts at the Ameri-
Gus warehouses have been fully up 10
the average, more than $4,000 bales
to this date, the compress receipts
show a decided falling-off as compared
with previous seasons. Up to this time
only about 22,500 bales of cotton have
been handled there, or 10000 less than
the warehouse receipts to date. This
discrepancy is accounted for in the
holding of $500 bales in local wara-
houses, and the shipment of several
bales to nearby cotton bills.
A great deal of Americas cotton go IS
to the large mills in Columbus and
this, of course, is shipped that short
distance without being compressed,
as is great deal of cotton shipped ID
South Carolina mills. The Americas
compress is still being operator, as
needs require, but the amount of bust
ness for the season will be largely
short of that of last season, when
Americas warehouse receipts exceeded
$4,000 bales.
