tested game, 8 to 2. a long drive tc

sion by Norris, the crack athlete al
the Agricultural school. turued the
trick for the farmers, for while the
middies made a gallant effort in
their half of the closing session to
turn the tide, Hoffecker, the opposing
twirler, was a bit too steady, and
held the sailors in check
1t was the opening game of the
season in Annapolis and the other
wise auspicious conditions were not
sufficient to overcome the sting OF
defeat as far as the middies are
concerned. But for the season
opener the work Cf the middies gave
every indication that Frank Breck-
enridge the coach will turn out a
strong team at the naval institution.
Mild weather conditions prevailed
and a large crowd of local fans
turned out to witness the initial
struggle. And the season-opening
was marked by an interesting little
ceremony. Che first bal. was cast
into the diamond by none other
than Capt. John H. Gibbons, super
irtendent Of the Naval Academy.
The Supe rintendent was seated In
front of the east bleachers with Mrs.
Gibbons and party of friends.
At the proper time the Academy's
chief arose from his chair and cast a
new sphere onto the greensward amid
much cheering by the brigade Of mid
shipmen. Tne middies drew blood
in the opening session when they got
a run on two singles and a passed
ball, and it looked as though they
might have things pretty much their
own way. But the game soon re-
solved itself into a pitchers battle.
Navy worked both Vinson, a heady
little fellow, and Seibert, the south
paw and captain, who were the main
stays last season, and while neither
was batted as hard as Hoffecker, the
visiting twirler proved himself a real
master in the pinches and he kept
the middies' eight hits we'll scatter
ed. Indications pointed to one or
more extra innings. when, as che
Aggies went to bat in the ninth, with
the score tie, the first two men up
were retired in easy fas hion.
But when Morris caught one square
ly on the nose, he sent it down the
bank at the right side of the field, it
looked good to the Aggies. Morris
made the pan only by a hair, how
ever. The middies got men on third
and second in their last chance, but
Fisher, one of last seasons reliable
batters, popped foul, making the
third out.
The work of Knode, at short, for
the Aggies was particularly note
worthy. He made two splendid catch
es, one jump for hot liner. which
he hauled down in his gloved hand,
and long running catch of a foul.
He also made good of five ether
chances.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 21.--CIosing ar
gument was begun this morning IN
the trial of Leo M. Frank for the muir
der of Mary Phagan.
No time limit was imposed by
Judge Roam, but attorneys for the
state and defense indicated that their
addresses to the jury probably would
be concluded late today or early in to-
morrows session. Four attorneys, two
for each side, will speak
A concerted effort will be made by

as to give some reasonable hope Of
reaching verdict and dismissing the
jury before Sunday. The case viii
have already run three weeks, and all
concerned are agreed that immateri1l
concessions may be made on both
sides to bring the taking of testimony
to an end.
Hugh Dorsey, solicitor general, won

objection that Franks character was
bad and that his reputation as to his
relations with women was bad. Sew
eral women employees at the factory
we're permitted to testify to this gen.
eral fact, but were not allowed to go
into detail.
The status of Franks character, in
the eyes of the jury, is just about tae
same as the status of every other
feature of the case; it is simply
question of whidh witnesses the jury
is going to believe. If the jury be-
lieves the states witnesses a case has
been made out against Frank, but if
the jury believes the witnesses of ths
defense, it is scarcely likely that a
verdict Of guilty could be obtained
purely on the chain of circumstantial
evidence.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 21-Georgia has
678,351 more acres planted to corn
this year than in 1910, according to sta
tistics issued yesterday by the depart
ment of agriculture. Three years ago
the total acreage of corn land was g.
3S3,O61, while late figures, based Oh
government and state reports, show
that there are this year 4,061,412 acres.
The figures also show that of the 1O6,
SS4,00 acres growing corn in the Unit
ed States Georgia has 3S per cent.
Officials of the department of agri-
culture stated also that the corn crop
this year gave promise of being one
of the heaviest in the history of the
state, as the condition of the grow
ing crop is good.
Indications are also that the yield
and quality of oats and other grain
will be graete.' than ever before.

Kindred CARS
MELONS SHIPPED
north ALREADY
SIINTER CROP BUMPER One
Probably $4,000 Realized
From Melon Sales

Sumter county melon growers have
struck it rich this season in the sale
of the kingly watermelon, as in no
previous year has the crop turned out
better financially. While not so large
as in other years, the scarcity OF
peaches and fruits of other varieties
has served to create an unusual de-
mand for melons, and consequently at
higher prices.
Already more than one hundred car
loads of fine melons-the peerless
Georgia melon-have been shipped and
while the shipping season is practi-
cally at an end, several growers will
have still a few carload late melon
for shipment in September.
The greater part Of the melons have
been grown in the vicinity Of Ander-
sonville and Green's Mill, where the
soil seems peculiarly adapted to their
production. Six or eight thrifty farm
ers there make up the list of shippers,
several of them having been success
fully engaged therein for many years
The growers did not have to seek a
market as do the peach growers. Mel
on buyers with fat rolls in their pock-
cts came to Andersonville and bought
the cars as fast as loaded, paying, up
on an average, $3.50 per car for the
juicy fruit. Cars averaged 1000 tt
LOO melons, according to size
~ At $3.50 per car, it can be seen that
Sumter's melon growers realized abou:
$4,000 from the sale of their prod
uct. The Sumter fruit was shipped t.
points north and west, while New Or,
leans, Mobile and other Southern cit
les bought them as we'll. Like Geor,
gia syrup, there is always a good d.
mand for the kingly Georgia water
melon.
In addition to the sale of melons
growers here will sell several hun
dred pounds selected seed, which brin4

Of SUGAR CANE

EXPECTED YIELD 5000 GAL.
Field Covers an Area of
Eight Acres

Three thousand gallons of the fin
est can syrup is the estimated yield
of Mr. John Haryey's "cane-patch" al
his plantation in the Fifteenth dis
trict, and the yield may be even great
er, as the field is large one, eight
acres, and the cane now growing there
is very fine for this date in August,
Mr.. Harvey was in Americus yeste:-
day upon a visit to his brother Deputy
Sheriff Lucius Harvey, who also knows
how to raise cane-in the gold Old
agricultural way, and is a good judge
of a cane patch.
An eight acre cane field is out Ct
the ordinary here, where the average
farmer plants only an acre or two for
his home syrup, and Mr.. Harvey eX-
poets good results. The cane is of fine
size, and the estimated yield, as stated.
is three thousand gallons at the min
imum.
Mr.. Harvey will make his syrup with
great care, putting it in hermetical "
sealed cans for the market. There is
always fine demand for Georgia cars
syrup, where it is properly and care
fully made, and this crop proves very
remunerative to the farmers.
Sumter county syrup has fame dis
tinctively it's own, and thousands Of
gallons made by thrifty farmers here
are sold in the markets of this and
other states as we'll.

BARRETT ADDRESSES
ALABAMA farmers
union AT Meeting,
WATCH COMING OF COLONIST
Says the Coming Of migrants
Should Interest

Mntgomery, Ala Aug. 21.-(Spec-
ial. THAT the one thing the Southern
farmer should be interested in mo- e
than in all is in the vast numbers of
colonists who are settling on the
Southern lands in greatly increasing
numbers each year, and the steady
and inevitable increase of the value of
farm lands of the South, according to
the address of C. E. Barrett, of Union
City, Ca, president of the National
Farmers union, before the Alabama
Farmers union Wednesday morning.
"These hordes of people are turned
toward the Southland. They are o1
the way. The values of land in the
South will soar out of sight, and that
will be soon," Mr.. Barrett stated.
The circuit court room was well
filled with delegates to the convention
at 10 o'clock, when President o. p.
Ford, of Chiffon, raped for order. Adj
dresses occupied the time of the first
session, the morning meeting continu-
ing until noon. The afternoon ses
sion, which was executive in nature,
was convened at o'clock Wednesday
afternoon.
Those making addresses were Mayor
Gnuter, Lee Holloway, representing
the Montgomery Business Mems
league; T. L. Harvey, state lecturer
of the union; A. J. Green, vice presi-
dent of the organization; E. W. Win
stead, chairman of the executive COM
mittee: President Ford; Mr.. Barrett
and A. N. Adams, of Chiffon county.
Convention committees were appointed
by President Ford, but no other bus
mess was transacted at the opening
session.
