This can be done by keeping collars

Cow peas and sweet potatoes can

State. The special home of the soy
bean is in the coastal plain and it is
better for farmers in other sections
to try some other crop. Peanuts
will do well in practically all regions
Of the State, but in order to do so
must be planted on light, sandy soil,

crops can be planted right now.

DRAWING UP INDICTMENTS.
They Are Against Several Persons
Who Figured in Frank Trial.
(Atlanta Journal, 22d.)

While the solicitors Office refuses
to make a definite announcement, it
is known that bills against several
persons who figured in the Frank
case are being prepared for presen-
tation to the grand jury probably
Friday.
AS a result the probe Of the case
is expected to begin before the grand
jury on that date. 1t is generally
expected that following the charge of
Judge Ben H.. Hill the grand jury
will begin with an Investigation of
the G. c. Ragsdale affidavit, involv-
ing not only the minister, but Ar
thur Thurman, a lawyer; G. G. Ted
der, an employee of Attorney VIM.
NJ. Smith and er%Stwhile Burns opera
tive, and Dan S. Lehon, the Burns
lieutenant.
G. w. Burke, employed by the de-
Tense, was most frequently involved
by the testimony before Judge Hill
on the extraordinary motion, and
his name will be among those pre-
sented to the grand jury.
While it is rumoled that some of
those who figured in the case are
preparing to leave the city, no war
rants have been issued, it is said.
Besides the grand jury probe the
solicitor general has beer busy the
present week with the routine ses-
sions of the criminal division OF the
Superior Court and has had little
time to prepare his answer to the
motion OF Frank to set aside the
verdict of guilty on the ground that
he was not in the court room when
it was returned.
The fact that the solicitor. will
contest the statement of fact by the
defense makes more time necessary
for gathering afidavits. AS a result
the solicitor eXpec ) to ask the court
for another continuance when the
case is called Saturday morning.
