It will be of more than usual
interest to the people Of Lee coun-
ty to know that a new ginning plant
will be in operation in Leesburg
this fall, when the cotton. ginning
season begins. Already Messrs. s. J.
Yeoman, 3. E. Morgan and B. E.
Fouche, representing the stockhold-
ers in the new company, have been
to Atlanta for the purpose Of placing
an order for the equipment needed
for the new plant, having made the
trip early in the week.
It is the purpose Of those who are
interested in the movement to be-
gin work on the active construction
of the plant as soon as a site has
been definitely fixed upon. No pains
will be spared to have the plant
ready for ginning new cotton as
early as September 1, or even
earlier, if there is need Of it.
This will give Leesburg its
third modern ginning plant and
should prove a big factor in drawing
much larger trade to the city. next
fall and in benefting the trade of
the entire county by keeping more
trade at home.
The new plant viii be owned and
operatedby a corporation, embracing
a number of best known business
men OF Leesburg and Lee county.
Three representatives ofthe corpo-
ration went to Atlanta to attend
to the purchasing of the equipment
for the new plant. A petition for
charter is now published in this
issue. A site for the plant is now
being considered from several avail
able ones.
Past experience has shown that
the two plants here are not able to
accommodate all the trade in this
particular that has been accustomed
to coming to Leesburg. Each plant
in operation here last season did a
thriving business, but much cotton
went elsewhere that could have been
ginned here if facilities had been
available.
The establishment Of the new gin
ming plant, which will be modern in
every particular, is in answer to a
demand already created for the IA

Season Is To
Close In State Friday.
GAME SEASON IN LEE CoUNTYHAs BEEN SUCCESSFUL ONE.
GAME HAS BEEN PLENTIFUL AND VIOLATIONS OF
LAW ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN COM
PARATIVELY FEW. s


Friday night the hunting season
in Georgia will come to a close, and
no more this season will the hunters
Of Lee county have the pleasure Of
going out after quail or doves. The
season in Lee county has been a
most successful one, and it is be-
lieved that violations Of the game
law has been fewer than in many
years.
Under the supervision Of Messrs.
Henry Logan, of Leesburg, and
Frank Hale, Of Smithville, the new
game law has been well administer
ed III Lee county this season. II is
hoped that there will be even more
cooperation between the people Of
the county and those who are APP
pointed to enforce the law, so that
violations of the law here may be
reduced to practically nothing.
Before next season begins it is
believed that the sportsmen Of Lee
county will organize a county game
protective association, such as is
maintained in many counties of the
state since the present state game
and fish commissioner, Mr.. j. r.
Mercer, assumed charge Of the work
Of enforcing the game laws of the
state. In every county where these
organizations have been formed it is
said that they proved most helpful
in enforcing the law, as the sports
men are ON the alert to prosecute
all violators Of the law, at the same
time being more careful themselves
not to be guilty Of any such viola
tions.
1t is understood that probably
most Of the violations of the game
law here this season have originated
from those who live outside of the
county. The county game wardens
claim that persons from Albany and
Dougherty county have repeatedly
come over into Lee county and en-
deavored to violate the game law
here, having succeeded in many in
stances, as it is impossible for the
wardenshereto boon the alertagainst
sach violations all the time. Invari-
ably these persons have no licenses
to hunt in the county sometimes
not even in the state. In other cases
