Foliage Grows Luxuriantly and For
Several Years Has BlOOmed Pro-
fuseIy, But Borne No Fruit.

A recent news item to the effect
that Messrs. Byron, extensive farm
ers of Dooly county, will graft pecan
buds on hickory trees recalls the
fact that four years ago last August
Mr.. S. J. Sem, one of the substan-
tial citizens of the western section
of Terrell county, performed this OPP
Grafton on hickory tree on MS
farm.
Mr.. Sem was in The News office a
few days ago, and when asked about
his hickory-pecan said that the tree
grows luxuriant foliage, and for the
past three years has bloomed pro
fusely, but borne no fruit. lie IS
still giving the tree careful attention
and hopes that it will yet produce
nuts.
Byron Bros. own many acres OF
wooded land on Flint river that is
covered with a heavy growth OF mex
ory trees, and they have begun the
work of grating these young trees
with pecan buds. They have gone
into the industry on such scale
that if their experiment OF convert
ing hickory into pecan trees is sue
cess they will be among the largest
necan growers of South Georgia IN
the next few years.

at Court House. Spoke to School
Children Wednesday.

Miss Mildred Rutherford of Ath-
ems addressed a fair sized and I'M
usually appreciative audience here at
the court house Tuesday night. Those
who did not hear her missed treat.
Miss Rutherford's subject was THE
South of Yesterday" and she held
the attention of her audience for
nearly an hour. The speaker appear
ed in a costume of the early sixties, -
and more than once merry ripple
of laughter swept over the audience
as she reached in her pocket for fan
or a handkerchief. History was of
course the basis of the lecture. The
views of the South were clearly stated
and defended, and plenty of history
was cited to sustain her points. II
there was any difference Miss Ruth
erford was at her hest in her discus
sion of the customs of ''de days befo'
de war" Never will the people OF
Dawson hear a more authentic or
more beautiful description of life on
the old plantation. She was espe-
cially good in her glowing account
of the faithfulness and loyalty of our
old "black mammies" and our "old
uncles."
Miss Rutherford visited the Daw-
son public schools on Wednesday
morning and talked to the children
on THE Customs of the Old South. y
While at chapel she was given the
closest attention, and a number OF
Southern songs were sung for her by
the school. The Dawson chapter OF
U. D. C. is to be congratulated upon
bringing Miss Rutherford to our peo-
nile

FINE RELIGIOUS FANATICS
GREAT DEMONSTRATION AGAINST
MEN WHO BEAT TWO BOYS IN
INSANE FRENZY.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.l

Newton, H., Feb. 1S.-The lynching
of four religious enthusiasts after they
had been found guilty and fined 800
and costs each for trying to whip "Sin
and the Devil" out of two small boys
was narrowly averted in the justice
court today.
The attack on the men on trial was
precipitated when Raymond and Cam
erOn Richardson, 8 and ~ years Of age,
exhibited cuts and bruises which it
was charged members of the Holiness
cult had inflicted during church ser
vices week ago. The enraged spec
tators seized the Rev. David H, Lyons,
pastor of the Springs Holiness church,
the nearest prisoner, knocked him to
the floor and beat and kicked him,
Threats of lynching were being made
when Sheriff Pippin and a force of
deputies forced their way through the
spectators and protected the prisoners.
A second outbreak occurred at the
close of the trial as the defendants
were being led to the Jail. All tho
available city and county officials and
posse Of citizens guarded the prison
ers as they were led from the court
room. In spite of these precautions
the mob made another attempt TO
seize the defendants but were held off
by the officers. The defendants gave
notice Of appeal and each were held
under 81 900 bond each.
According to the testimony, the boys
had been unable to repeat lessons which
had been given them at a holiness
meeting After the congregation had
decided on their punishment the boys
we're tied hand and foot and put on
the floor, then whip, half inch in
diameter was applied.
A part of the sect gathered around
and prayed that the whippings might
rid the boys of the devils. They stop
ped the testimony, they said, to permit
couple of strangers to pass.
The four were fined $l0O and costs
each. Today, action will be brought
apinst all who we're in the church on
Sunday when the congregation voted
that the boys should be beaten "to rid
them Of the devils"
