Farm Expert Tells Farmers Not to
Plant Too Many WatermeIOns.

Another Georgia farm expert in
sard advises Georgia farmers not to
plant too many watermelons and
canteloupes for a selling crop.
"In reducing their cotton acreage
let the farmer beware of banking
too heavily on these melons," he
says. 'FThe watermelon and cante-
loupe business has been overdone in
the past several times, and few plant
ers made anything out of them. They
are of precarious growth and matur-
ity. A hot, dry spell or little too
much rain at the wrong time will
blast their prospects. There is al
ways a great deal of trouble in mar
keting them, too. The markets are
easily glutted and there is heavy

CONFESSES TO
FATAL ACCIDENT
Conscience Drives Young Man to Tell
of Running Down and Killing
Charles LOften in Brunswick.

BRUNSWICK, Ga.-Just a year
ago Charles Loften, well known
man of this city, was run over and
killed by an automobile. The affair
at the time caused considerable COM
ment in the city, as it was stated that
the chauffeur never stopped to see
if the man was injured, but left him
in the road to die. The police of the
city made a full investigation and
special officers were put to work on
the case, but the driver of the ma
chine was never captured, although
practically every chauffeur in the city
was questioned as to the accident.
Yesterday Ballard Jones, a young
white man IS years of age, who has
been driving a car in the city for
some time, made a full confession Of
the affair to Chief of Police Owens.
He stated that the affair had preyed
so heavily on his conscience that he
could no longer hide it, and that he
desired to be arrested and given an
immediate trial if a charge was to be
preferred against him. He said that
the feeling was so intense at the
time of the killing that he was afraid
to admit then that he did it. Jones
claims that he was in no wise re
sponsible for the accident, that the
man was standing in the middle of
the street kneeling and that he did
not see him until it was too late to
avoid the collision. The young man
has not been arrested, but officers
are looking into the case.

her. The poor little thing was just
starved for affection. When l would
go out she would not leave the apart
ment, saying that she did not want
any one to know where she was. And
yet every night she would pray for
her mother. She had said many times
lately, I wonder if mother is warm
these cold nights and where she is
Then, too, she would say that she
had rather have her mother dead
than living the life she is. Every
once in while she would become

ever take her away from me. Per-

could not legally adopt her without
the consent of one of her parents,
and her mother would have legal

Mrs. Graham declared that she
could not believe the girl was dead
when she saw her lying on the floor
Friday night.
81 tried to force whisky down her
lips" she said, "and wiped her face
with damp cloth, but I guess she
had been dead for hours. The land
lady said that she was in the base
ment about o'clock and smelled gas
then. Her little chum next door rang
the doorbell at 8 o'clock and got no
response, so I guess Catherine must
have turned on the gas before it got
dark. She had tried to reach the
window, regretting too late, I guess,
and there we found her, between the
bed and the window"

FOR SIX DESTROYERS
CONTRACT HAS BEEN AWARDED
BY SECRETARY OF NAVY.
Each VIII Cost s795, 900. Could
Build a Seventh With the Money
That Was Appropriated.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dam
iels today awarded contracts for the
construction of the six tOrpedoboat
destroyers authorized by the last ma
val appropriation bill as follows;
Fore River Ship Building Compa-
ny, two ships, 200 each; Bath
Iron Works, two ships, 100000
each; Cramp Ship Building Company
one ship $4,000.
The sixth ship will be constructed
at the Mare Island navy yard. 1t
will be the first destroyer built in
the government yard.
The appropriation bill limited the
amount to be paid for each destroy
er to s925,OOO, but made no provis-

saved in today's award may not be
used for additional construction, but
must be turned back to the treasury.
In this connection Mr.. Daniels is
