Lee Farm Settlement
Wild. Publicity Being civ.p !. Project.

Wide publicity is being given to
the advantages afforded by the small
farms which the Central Of Georgia
railway is offering to white immi-
grants to Lee county, if they will
come and settle on the tract re-
Gently acquired by that railroad in
the south srn part Of the county.
In addition to the booklet des-
criptive of the tract and its advan-
tages, which was issued recently by
the Central and which was men
toned in The Journal at the time,
Agricultural Agent j. #. Jackson,
the popular Central official who has
charge Of the management Of the
sale of the subdivisions, has had
inserted in various publications in
the north and northwest an electro-
plate advertisement which gives in
tabloid the gist of the many things
that Lee county lands afford.
This advertisement in substance
an advertisement not only Of Lee
but of the entire southwestern sec
tion of Georgia II should do much
good for Lee county, not only in
disposing Of the tracts and sub-di-
visions under the Central's control
but also Of many other most attrac-
tive lands in Lee county that are
for sale and which would make ideal
homes for white immigrants. With
such effective work, Mr.. Jackson
should be able to make great pro-
gress in disposing this fall Of the
lands which the Central is offering
to those who will come to Lee coun-
ty to made their homes here.

Timely Suggestions For
The Sowing Of Oats
Sew Oats with Drill.

The sowing Of oats should receive
attention this month. The crop re-
ports forecast high-priced corn and
oats next summer. The Southern
farmer can and should hedge against
the high prices that now seem bound
to come. Prepare theland we'll. Sc
cure the best seed oats obtainable,
use a good commercial fertilizer, If
necessary at the rate Of 400 or 500
pounds per acreand plant anywhere
from two to five acres per horse. II
is cheap crop and should be grown
more largely all over the South. Put
them in during September whenever
it is possible to do SO. Where corn
is cut off the land can be prepared
and the oats put in Immediately af-
ter the corn is shocked. They can
also be put in cotton with the open
furrow method about three rows Of
oats in each cotton middle. A good
acreage in oats, well pepared, we'll
fortified and sowed at the rate Of
two and one half bushels per acre.
will save the farmers Of the South
many thousands of dollars next
year.-T. B. Parker, in the pro-
gressive Farmer.

Rival Officers Contest TO
Arrest Banker" A. D. Oliver
UNITED STATES DEPUTY MARSHAL AND MISSISSIPPI SHER
-IFF BOTH WANT HIM.-ANOTHER CHAPTER
IN STRANGE LIFE STORY

Another chapter was opened IN
the strange and sensational life
story Of A. D. Oliver, former fren-
lied Rnancier' at Climax, Ca, when
Oliver was Immediately arrested
here Tuesday by Mississippi officers
and by a deputy United States
Marshall, as soon as he had been
released by County Superintendent
Of Road. j. M. Mcbride, after SER
wing a four-year sentence ontheLee
county chain-gang for bigamy.
The Mississippi officers, who were
Sheriff S. H. Crosby, of Morgan
county, and Elk Sheriff 7. 0. Jones,
Of the same county appeared here
Monday night ready with a requi-
sition signed by Governor Slaton,
and an order from the prison COM
mission of Georgia. They came
knowing that divers term expired
that night and they were ready
Tuesday to arrest him when he was
released
A sharp legal contest arose, how
ever between the Mississippi officers
with their warrants and United Sta
ties Deputy Marshall w. S. Tarver,
of Albany, who also appeared on
the scene with warrant, this one
from the United States court for the
northern district Of Alabama. When
Warden Mcbride released Oliver,
both officers were on the scene to
arrest him, but it was agreed that
the federal officer should retain the
prisoner, while the courts are to be
left to decide the points involved.
1tseems TO be not question Of
whether Oliver will be adequately
punished but what.court will have
jurisdiction over him first. Tia adj
dition to the warrants fromAIabama
and Mississippi it is understood
that there are other warrants for
Oliver from Florida and otherstates.

JaH b3fore going to press u was
reported that sum sufficient to
maintain an additional teacher had
been secured BY the private sub
scription campaign that has been
carried on here some time. A num-
Der of public spirited citizens, who
interested themselves in the matter,
succeeded in getting the money ne
cessary to maintain an additional
teacher until January.
It is hoped that in January the
county board of education will come
TO the rescue and supplement thu
salary for the remainder ofthe year.
Much encouragement has been re-
ceived from the members of the
board andit is thought that there
will he no difficulty in securing the
salary needed after january |.
The highest commendation is to
be given to Mr.. J. j. Forester and
Mr.. s. J. Powell who aided actively
in collecting the funds needed a.
wel!'as TO each citizen who contri.
buted to the fund given for this
purpose. There was no heSitancy
when it became known that an ad
ditional teacher would be needed
but the effort was at once made t.
collect the funds, resulting success
fully, as has been said. The secur,
ing of a new teacher viii SION b,
accomplished, and it is hoped thal
the local schools are entering upor
the most successful period of theil
career, as the teaching force, will
the new teacher. will be the larges,
ever employed here showing thu
rapid growth Of the schools.

VIII Add Another Teacher
To Local Teaching Force
PRIVATE SUBSCRIPTION HAS BEEN MADE UP SUFFICIENTLY
LARGE TO MAINTAIN TEACHER THIS FALL. HOPED
COUNTY WILL HELP LATER.

Since the opening Of the fall term
OF the schools here it has become
manifest that there is much need q
an additional teacher for the facul-
ty. This was suggested immediately
after the enrolment The first day Of
school, which showed more than a
hundred pupils.
The need Of an additional teach
er is very great. No one conversant
with school affairs can deny that.
The matter of taking up a public
subscription for the purpose of Sc
curing an additional teacher has
been suggested, the plan outlined
being for %, or more, public spirit
ed citizens to volunteer to give two
or more dollars per month for that
purpose, thereby making up the fif-
ty dollars per month neeced for an
expert teacher.
This plan has been pretty gene
rally discussed, but nothing definite
has yet been done relative TO It. It
is hoped that something definite
will be done this term. The need Of
an additional teacher will be even
greater next fall, as the school here
is growing by leaps and boAndsand
is popular with the resident Of both
town and county If something is
not done this term, it is hoped that
when the next school year comes,
provision for the congested school
attendance will have been made.

BRUCE

From the Herald:
Ida Faulken died last night after a
lingering illness of three or four
months OF tuberculosis. Six months
ago there was not a healthier looking
girl in Bruce but she had taken care
of her mother who died with the same
disease about a year ago, and no doubt
had contracted the germs of the dis
ease. and by failing to take good care
of herself brought on the sickness that
ended in her death.
