Splendid Record
OF Tiff Farmer

Triton. Ga, Nov. 81. Three
thousand dollars profit from a
two horse farm in staple crops for
one year is the record of a Triton
citizen, j. I. Parker, whose farm
is located near Enigma and was
cultivated exclusively this year by
hired labor.
There were sixty-four acres in
cultivation, with eighteen acres in
oats, followed by hay. The crop
acreage was divided into cotton.
40 acres; corn, IL acres; peanuts,
~ acres.
The handsome profit shows that
there is money in South Georgia
land planted in staple crops and
cultivated by hired labor, despite
opinions often expressed to the
contrary. Counting the profits
from its cultivation, Mr.. Parker
figures that his farm land is worth
$3.50 an acre.

plan has been decided upon de-
tinitely as one Of number of
developments for the territory

Auto Owners Have Licenses

Atlanta, Dec. How many
autoists in Georgia know exactly
what the new state law provides
in the matter of licenses and
numbers?
Secretary of State Phil Cook
says that judging from the kinds
of letters he has been receiving
recently, many of them are in
the most ,stygian ignorance.
Here then are the definite facts:
The law now requires a NEW
license for all owners of cars,
which license costs So. (not $5.)
and is good until March next.
After that time it will be neces-
sary to pay another full years
license amounting to S., and to
secure a new number.
The secretary of state will
furnish, upon application. a blank
form to be filled out, which when
accompanied by a fee of So. will
get a. new number, good until
March. That is all there is to it.

Hunting Licenses Won't
Expire Until Season Ends

In the game law of Georgia is
a contradiction which has puz-
zled many hunters. 1t occurs
within one section of the law.
State Game and Fish Commission.
er Charles L. Davis, confronted
by that inconsistency, has placed
a definite construction on the
laws intent, clarifying at once
the doubt which has been worry.
ing the nimrods.
One sentence of section 6, of
the act, is as follows: "All
licenses shall bear the date of
issuance if the license is issued
in the open season. and shall au-
thorlze the person named there
in to hunt during the then open
season and if issued in the closed
season shall authorize said per-
son to hunt during the next sue
ceeding open season."
That is clear enough. But the
concluding sentence of the sec.
ton is this: "All licenses shall
terminate on the goth day of
February following the date of
issuance"
That is what gives rise to the
conflict.
obviously the law must be
interpreted, for it is in conflict
with ITSELF" said Commissioner
Davis Friday. 1T cannot be
construed both ways; therefore,
it must, of necessity, be con-
strued one way. The only fair
construction I can place on it is
to accept the first provision as
the legal one, and to disregard
the second until the legislature
makes the point clear"
A few days ago the publication
was made that Commissioner
Davis intended to overrule the
game law in this regard. This
did the commissioner an injustice.
He is simply Interpreting the law.
Il am not overruling it and
do not intend to override it" said
he Friday. "Nor could | over
rule it if I would. | simple must
place definite construction on
the law as it stands. My pre-
decessor in office, Mr.. Jesse E.
Mercer, construed the law just
as l do. -

The Douglas Foot
Ball Team Failed
To Come Thursday

The boys of the Athletic Asso-
citation heartily regret the disap-
pointment, both to themselves and
to the town people, of Thursday
afternoon.
Just the night before we re-
ceived a telegram stating that
Douglas would be here. We have
so far received no explanation as
to why they did not fulfill their
agreement. Over long distance we
were unable to find the parties who
were acting for the Douglas team.
1--WE heard that one of them deliber-
fjptely went to Broxton. We do
not understand what type of man
it is who will make arrangements
for game and then treat the mat
ter so lightly.
Again, we are very sorry that
the Fitzgerald people, who have
stood by us so faithfully, were
disappointed. Any one who pur-
chased a ticket may call on the one
from whom it was purchased and
the money will be refunded.

Rank Shown ry Cheese.

The English, the Germans and the Nor
wegians are great consumers Of cheese
but the people OF Switzerland surpass
them ali.
The cheese of Zermatt is SO hard that
one is obliged to scrape it or cut Oh
chunks with Ratchet, and its use is con-
sidered most important on all cere-
monious occasions.
The rank of Swiss family is known by
the age OF it's cheese, and the more affec-
tion or respect guest inspires, the harder
is the cheese which is cut in his honor.
1t is said that there are families in
Switzerland whose cheeses, date from the
first French revolution, and these are
served only at baptisms, weddings and
after funerals.
Upon the birth of new heir cheese is
made that takes the name given him or
her, and that particular cheese is never in
any circumstances cut until the boy or
girl grows up and is married.
On such occasions each OF the guests
takes piece OF cheese from the BRIDE
groom and from the bride and drinks to
their felicity, the cheese being held aloft.
