StatesborO Farmer
Has Record Yield
Field Expects to Make Five Bales
of Cotton on Two
Acres.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 2O.-It is gen
orally conceded that F. E. Field, of
Statesboro. will be the champion cot
ton raiser in Bulloch County, If not
in the State of Georgia, this season.
Field has two acres planted in a very
prolific variety, and it is the opinion
of him and many others that he will
make five bales on the two acres. He
says he has counted the bOls on sone
of the stalks, on some of which were
over 300 forms.
1t Is the purpose of Field to save
every seed from this two-acre patch
and plant his entire crop with this va
riety next year, in which event there
is no telling how much cotton he
will be able to make. There is said
to be a large demand for cotton seed
In Statesboro, but it is not likely that
any Of these will be put on the mar
ket for crushing purposes.

Council Regulation

SAVANNAH. Sept. 2o.-Regulation
Of wharfage rates in Savannah by
ordinance is being considered by the

That It is within the power of

considered and will be taken up again
shortly.
Business interests generally are
complaining of the wharfage rates
charged by the Merchants and Min

tiuenced the committee of Council in
considering means of affording re-
lief. The City Attorney has been
asked to furnish a legal opinion on
the matter
In an ordinance OF this sort It
would be necessary to fix the rates on
all kinds OF goods shipped through

OLD POLITICAL
FEUDS REVIVED
INMACON RACE
Friends and Enemies of Judge
Miller Draw Same Lines About
His Sons Candidacy.

MACON, Sept. 20.-Next Friday
Macon will nominate a Mayor and
ne will be either Wallace Miller
Bridges smith or A. l. Dasher, Sr.
Strictly speaking, he will be either
Miller or Smith, because Dasher. by
reason of various circumstances is
not In the running. However. he is
making an earnest campaign, direct
ing MS efforts toward weakening the
administration, which is represented
by Smith.
Political experts figure that Dash

The general estimate is that there

diets a Miller majority of $50 The
smith workers prophesy a Smith
victory of over 300. Nom partisaus
look for very close race, with the
winner getting probably 200 more
votes than he needs.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
the aldermanic ticket will be greatly
split. On account Of Smiths great
personal popularity, he will get the
vote of many who will not vote for
his ticket. ]. B. Riley, DR.. W. &.
Lee and Eden Taylor, OF the Miller
aldermantc candidates, and r. c.
Hazlehurst and Ross Bowdre, of the
administration ticket, will poll the
most votes. 1t is not believed any OF the
Dasher aldermanic candidates have
any chance for election.
The old Miller Smith, Miller?
Moore feeling has at last been inject
ed into this campaign, and is. in fast,
live issue. Judge A. L. Miller, the
father of Wallace Miller, ran against
Mr.. Smith in 1905, and was defeated.
He ran against John T. Moore, the
present Mayor, in 1907, and won. He
was opposed by Mr.. Moore again i'll
1909 and was defeated. Ever since
citizen in local politics has been
either of the Miller" stripe or an ad-
ministratiOn supporter. Wallace
Miller is receiving largely the same
vote that went to his father, coupled
with the passive support OF the Law
Enforcement League, which his father
never received at any time.
If Miller is elected, he will be the
youngest Mayor Macon ever had. He
is only q years old, though the father
of three children and Representative
in the Legislature Mr.. Smith was
Mayor from 1899 to 1907.

GUN DRAWN AND

Liquor Seller Defes Sheriff While
Convicted Slayer Feigns
Sudden Violent Insanity.

ATHENS, Sept. 20-In the Banks
County Superior Court. at Conner,
yesterday Judge Brand was given an
other fine opportunity to further his
crusade against the pistol toter. He
was called upon to pass sentence on
an offender who pulled his gun in the
presence of the court and juries, law
yers and attendants.
A man named Saey, up for selling
whisky, on being asked to remain in
an anteroom while a bondsman was
looked up, insisted on following the
Sheriff. When the officer sought to
put him back in the room by force
he drew his pistol right in the court
room. He was promptly given six
months on the gang by Judge Brand.
Another interesting case was that
against Pink Haywood, who is rather
an unique character His father was
a one-legged beggar one brother was
hanged for murder, another is serv-
ing life sentence for participation in
the killing and now Pink is up for
the second time in a murder case.
Some time ago he was convicted of
murder and sentenced to life. but on
a motion for a new trial the -Su-
preme Court said there were no
grounds for manslaughter and recon-
mended that he be found guilty in the
first degree.
When Pink heard of this he sud-
denly went crazy in the Jail and raved
like a maniac. He was tried this
week for lunacy and the jury return
ed a verdict that he was taking. and
when the new trial was brought up
1t was found that the main witness
was dead and that another could not
be present. The trial could not be
