There seems to be no substitute YET

Triton PLANT TO MAKE
FARMING IMPLEMENTS
Harrow Will Be Principal Ar.
tiCIe Manufactured

Triton, March 21.-With the excep-
ton of a few minor details a deal has
been closed for the establishment of a
plant at Triton for the manufacture of
agricultural implements The plant
will represent an investment of over
$4,000 and a further investment OF
S20,000,000 in materials. 1t will oc-
cupy one of the most centrally located
manufacturing sites in the city ami
will employ between 80 and so men.
Active operations will begin as soon as
the final papers are signed, which will
probably be this week.
The principal article manufactured
will be the Common Sense harrow,
which the plant is to have the exclus-
i've right to manufacture for seven
Southern states. The guaranteed out
put of the plant will be $4,000 har-
rows annually. This harrow is the
invention of John H. Brown, of Scott
county, Missouri, and has had extern
siVe sale through this section for
some time.
The rapid development of South
Georgia along agricultural lines has
resulted in great quantities of labor
saving machinery being sold through
this section. Tifton's railroad facili-
ties and the advantages offered both
as a manufacturing center and a dis
tributing point led to the location OF
the harrow manufacturing plant here
Local capital has been interested in
the enterprise.

in Triton and this section and is SO

opportunities for development ia

WARDEN MERCER IS TO
PROSECUTE Dove BAITERS
Many Cases VIII Be Made
Out

I Atlanta, March 21.-More than 500
prosecutions have already resulted and
will result from violations of the state
game law as to that most wanton of
all game butchering-dove batting.
State Game Warden Mercerds arous-
ed over the general violation OF this
clause in the game law for the season
just closed, and he is going after the
violators without gloves One unfor-
tunate feature of this game violation
is in the fact that practically all en-
gagged in it are men of prominence and
standing in their communities.
In Sumter county a banker who was
one of the most enthusiastic men in
the state for the new game law and
aided the state warden in organizing a
club in Americas for the protection o.
game and to aid in ,upholding the law,
is himself guilty of 65 violations Of
the dove batting section. He baggei
on one baited field in one day, 105
birds, which is 65 more than the le-
gal limit of 40 for a single days
shoot, and Furthermore, the killing OF
doves on baited field is strictly
against the law.
Special Bait Is Sold.
Warden Mercer has found that in
sections of the state, particularly in
Southwest Georgia, where the doves
are more numerous because they find
the food they like best that special
kinds of feedstuff is sold regularly to
bait dove fields.
In years past Lee county was more
widely known for the slaughter Of
doves on baited fields than any other
county. One days kill there often ran
to 5000 and 10000. Lee, Turner
Dougherty and other counties there
about are the worst offenders, for, ac-
cording to Warden Mercer, about
ten counties in that section have more
doves than all the rest of the state put
together
Before the law was passed prohibit
ing dove batting, this sport was con-
fined almost wholly to Southwest
| Georgia, although it occurred in Mid
die Georgia. Hunters in Middle Geor-
gia were here when the game law was
under consideration to protest against
it as to batting, because they said the
birds had been drawn to Southwest
Georgia in the past, and were no lon
ger to be found in Middle Georgia. II
is a fact, however, that fields have
been baited about Athens and along
the Georgia road this year and doves
have appeared in number and been
killed.
UNLESS a stop is put to dove bait
ing, this bird will soon vanish from
our state" says Warden Mercer. at
is too bad that men of prominence and
: anding in the community are the
ones violating this section OF the law.
! am going to prosecute every viola
tor l can find, regardless of his stand
ing. In many cases light fines of only
$40 are imposed, and those engaging
in this slaughter do not mind paying
that small amount for the sport they
get out of it,"
Warden Mercer has been spending
much of his time since the close of
the game season, on March 1, inves-
tigating such cases, and he has turn
ed up many of them. And he will turn
up many more before he quits, be-
cause he is aroused over the mat
ter. ~aqe
