GETS
70 BALESFROM
COUNTY FARM
With Price Of Cotton at 10 Cents,
Quite a Sum Is ReaIized-Sta-
pie Grown by Juveniles.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 27.-w1th 70
bales Of cotton produced this year.
and with the price of the staple stand.
ing at Is cents a pound, Chatham
County is going to make quite a lit
tie money from its cotton crop. These
hAlss, raised by the county itself on
the Juvenile farm and the county farm
proper, constitute almost the entire
crop grown within the limits of the
county. The county authorities have
no competition IN the production Of
the staple.
At 10 cents pound, the county's
crop is bringing sos a bale. Twenty
bales already have been sold. This
amounts to 1880. The total county
income from cotton is expected to be
close to $4,000.
The crop was planted and tended by
the convicts on the county farm and
the youthful prisoners detained at the
Juvenile farm. 1t is being picked by
these younger prisoners. With this
cheap cost of production, the crop
represents practically a clear profit to
the county.
This year 70 acres have been plant
ed in cotton, but the success which
has attended the effort has made the
authorities determined to more than
double the acreage next year. In the
production of cotton the county is not
competing with the farmers, who con-
fine themselves almost entirely to
truck products.

made this battery famous since Rev
olutionary days, will be retained. Both
local batteries will still be known as
the Chatham Artillery. This question
arose when the plan of dividing the
battery first was considered. There
was unanimous opposition to doing
anything which would necessitate a
change in name. 1t will be possible,
however, to divide the battery with
out changing the name, and this will
be done
The Chatham Artillery now has an
enlistment of approximately IT'S men.
It is believed the proposed division
will be beneficial to the battery in
many respects. 1t will furnish the
State with another unit in this branch
and will in addition stimulate friend
ly rivalry among the two local bat
teries. With this rivalry for suprem-
acy in enlistments, points of merit 10
craftsmanship. etc, the entire organ
izatlon will be elevated to a higher
plane of efficiency.
Just as soon as the necessary for
malities for making the division have
been complied with, the selection Of
the men who will compose each bat
terry will be made. These will be
made by the commanding officers of
the two batteries, the selections to be
made from the roll book, each COM
manding officer selecting one man al
ternately.

Municipal Lights in
Waycross Planned
Projected White Way Gives Impetus
to Movement for Complete
city-Owned System.

WAYCROSS, Sept. 27.-Answering
the city's plea OF no finances, business
men who subscribed several months
ago to white way are raising a fund
for purchasing a dynamo for the
city's waterworks, the dynamo to be
used IN lighting the white way The
section of the city not included in the
white way will erect an addition to
the white way, donating it to the city
on the same conditions.
The city now furnishes its own city
hall and fire department lights. The
agreement to light the white way will
be the opening wedge for the install
lation of complete lighting plant by
the city. The existing contract with
the Ware County Light and Power
Company has only a short term to
run, and the city will in all proba
bility prepare for taking over the
light contract itself at the expiration
of the present contract.
